Just wondering about the initials DV too.

Might not relate to a name, but a phrase.

Possibilities.

Deus vult
Deo volente
Deo vindice

All of which generally translate to either "God willing" or "With god as protector"

Also, has Walton had any updates from his voice?

Some skeleton creature killed Rhea some time ago. I think it has initials like DV and someone in our group (Airlea?) came to conclusion that it was some elite soldier from long time ago.

I do not remember what DV stood for exactly but it sounded logical when someone brought it up. Airlea can probably tell you more about it, or someone else.

The other group reached 2223 from the north in the future. It was similar to the room our group found in the NW corner in that it described a door that wouldn't open, not locked but not an exit option. They asked me at the time to scan 2223 and it also had a frozen figure inside. They thought they could travel to the past and teleport into that room, but it didn't work.

If they cannot teleport from past into room and cant access room in future. Perhaps something needs to happen to open door in future? Like some event or some item is required.

This is very puzzling.

Urk is now trying to get back to the other group. He is in 2830 and has Cerby 2 rooms west, while the other group is in 9880.

While Urk was following Lee he seemed to cross a teleport type trap. Based on your nearest person scans it seemed that Lee teleported to the past and continued moving east. Urk backtracked to meet the group but now that they couldn't teleport in 2223 they are still a few rooms apart.

Boone is wondering if 2223 can be found from the balcony of 9880.

That is interesting theory. Perhaps we shall make this our next objective? Considering we are on higher level, we might be able to go north in next room and find entrance to balcony.

##exit west

Thanks!

More info on your groups DV encounter please. Which room, phase etc.

More info on your groups DV encounter please. Which room, phase etc.

I wasn't on my laptop, will search for it now.

Our encounter with them was Phase 22, room 9859* and was also a red room where the queen had exited first (second after pushing Rhea through who died because of the DV)

Here are some of the snippets from that phase: (to lazy to edit every quote out separately)

Pai:
Also, Balagor can confirm (or maybe not because of his memory ) that we've seen this creature before. In Phase 5. Not Willis, but the DV creature. He told us to destroy Willis, and that Willis has friends, and that we need to destroy them too.


(*We (CoK) were told of 3 skeletons wandering during phase 12)


Kristoff said he once picked up a daggar with the initials DV on it.
Ajax asked him who's and he replied
"I do not know who's. It was just before my possession. It is my last clear memory before I died."


Pai:
In the prologues, Willis picks up a dagger with DV on it, and feels a dark presence come over him. You guys should check it out.


Kristoff:
I was hiking in a forest just outside Berlin. I was walking and saw some shape in the distance. I followed it and just as I got close I feel in some hole in the ground. At the bottom of the hole was the knife. I shouldn't of touched it but I did.
They are the elite force of King Minos. The people who went before the Greek heroes. The Dusk Vanguard.


Andrael:
Perhaps then the Dusk Vanguard that Minos sent here was the one that attacked us. Willis has managed to turn them against us and based on what we know, they are very deadly warriors.


Ajax:
According to what's been said by Pai Chan ... Those still want to kill Willis. However, I think they're a bit jealous of us taking the job request and plan to kill us while they're at it too.

Considering the shade said 'Ooooooooooooourrrrrrrrrrr mission' seems more to me of jealousy (flavor). In the end, we're not their friends either.

(if you want more info/quotes, let me know)
