Lost in the Dark Sea - An AO Short Story + ARG (With Prizes) (FINISHED)

Unfortunately I won’t have much time to do this today but I’ll skim over the resources and look at them in more detail tomorrow

Also holy are some of those prize sets good

I think this is how it works: (Tell me if I’m wrong)

First name: Joyner
Position: Hired guard

AND

First name: Lucius
Position: Hired guard

Woke up in the middle of the night to confirm these, (this makes 4 guesses). Going back to sleep.

Lucius ??? - Hired Guard, Correct

Joyner - Hired Guard, Correct
Future Perspective Character. Points will be awarded but no money

Hope by tommorrow there’ll be a few more people taking a crack at this.

Aw yeah it’s finally out! Can’t wait to have a look at this and the stories that come with it.

I’ve just finished reading the first chapter and I’ve got to say that was a gourmet full course of adventure and excitement. Just straight delectable from the start to end of Kreel’s journey.


So now we can confirm that Kreel was the orange text in the original, that leaves the question of who the other 5 people are. I’m going to make a character list with all the details that I’ve gathered so far, this is not my guess, this just just an informational post to gather and consolidate details for everyone to figure things out. Feel free to leave me a ping for details or characters I have to add to this list.


Based on the third chapter so far, there are 49 characters total that went into the dark sea:

Now for my actual deduction,
Louise is a young man working as a seaman aboard the Glowing Pickering. He was unfortunately crushed by a cannon after rough storms in the Dark Sea.

Sevirus is a well dressed man working as a seaman / rigger aboard the Glowing Pickering. He was lost to the seas trying to help Louise with a runaway cannon.

I cannot keep up with Bio and Randomness :skull: I think I give up at this point. (I barely did anything compared to them :cry:)

You’ve got this!

There’s always something that’ll slip through the cracks which is why we need as many watchful eyes as we can to keep a look out. Don’t worry about how much you do, but rather what you do.

I’m pretty sure I have 0 points rn. :skull: Thanks for the support tho.

Anyone got any ideas about the words at the end of chapters?

Aw don’t worry I have 0 points at the moment too, If it makes you feel better I’ve yet to have time to read chapter 2, so you could get a head start on me there.

There’s so many prizes and they’re all really good so It doesn’t really matter how much you do, and also remember that Bio is at 6/8 answers and I have 4/8 meaning very soon we’ll be on cooldown for the day

Possibly an anagram?
I’ve noticed they have:
e x3
w x1
n x1
r x1
a x1
o x1

I’ve found something, on the public manifest table there is a 64th character with “?” as their name.

Wait there were 53 people in the beginning, so that’s 9 other people unaccounted for until 64. I don’t think that adds up even if we use all the mentioned people not on the ship
-Revna
-Kreel’s mother
-Halfpal
-Leif

Unless there’s more characters later on?

Here’s my last few deductions for today.

Gabe worked as a topman

Gadalaug worked as a Lookout

Wait… WAIT
I’ve just moved the letters around, ewenorae and raneewoe are anagrams for weareone.
We are one, as in the red text from the original hint.
What could it mean though? Maybe it’s the captain saying it?
