I mean, there is a subtle difference in this riddle...but this difference is the key. Where or what it is...that is up to you to find.

By the way, we lost our softball game 17 to 2.:smile:

I'm not going to tell...:smile:
You guys are certainly catching up though (I'm stuck)...I think greg is still on 55.

Seriously, on the riddle I'm on now...I don't even have a real clue what I'm supposed to do. It may have something to do with the previous riddle but I'm not sure. I don't really like the ones where you just google for information. They take the fun out of it.

Okey.. If the clues are still referring to lovecraft.. (the "many names" thingy makes me believe that) Now we just have to figure out a way to connect the other clues to him.. or something xD

Indeed. What is missing? Obviously a way through the wall...a door...whatever is missing. There is no bg sound (but that wasn't in some of the previous ones. I assume that "he has many names" is referring to lovecraft. Dark is written on the wall...It is their creation...

Maybe we should read more facts about him..
