Bonus: Tape Transcripts

Having sound difficulties or just feel like reading back over the diaglogue of the in-game tapes? Their transcripts can be found here:

Tape 1

Alison: The Celtic legend of Dire Grove has been passed down for centuries, from generation to generation. Considered by most a fairy tale, it was told by campfires or as a bedtime story. Again and again it was told, until like most ancient accounts, it bore less resemblence to any factual occurance and slowly became a superstition. And that is how it remains for over 2,000 years until today. However absurd it may sound, it is my contention that an artifact unearthed two days ago in the United Kinddom is evidence that the legend of Dire Grove is in fact very real. Judging by today's turnout, I will assume I am the only one that understands this to be true.

Tape 2

Alison: I hate packing. It makes me nervous. I always think I'm gonna forget something.

Susan: OK, so you really think there's truth to this legend?

Alison: Well, it is the source of my dissertation. This relic that they found is the missing link. You're gonna believe me when we get to Dire Grove.

Susan: Got a big enough suitcase? Make sure you lock it, you don't want anyone making off with your undies. Don't forget the combination.

Alison: Oh, I set it to the last four digits of my phone number so it's easy to remember. Oh, man. Do you think the boys are gonna behave?

Susan: It's only for a couple of days, how much trouble can they get into? Besides, they can carry our stuff.

Alison: Speaking of stuff: flashlights.

Susan: Oh, check.

Alison: Sleeping bags?

Susan: Check.

Alison: Oh, it's Matt. Should I tell the guys we just pick them up a couple hours before the flight?

Susan: Sounds good.

Alison: Done. Dire Grove, here we come!

Tape 3

Jack: We just took off on our way to Dire Grove, and don't tell Susan I borrowed the camera! This is tricky.
Jack: So which wagon's ours?

Matt: The guy said number six.

Jack: There it is. What's with all the paparazzi?

Alison: Hey, no messing around. This isn't a pleasure cruise.

Tape 4

Susan: So, where to first?

[u]Alison:[/u] The relic was found by a bed and breakfast, but it's closed for the season. So, we're gonna go camping. Can somebody find it on the map?

[u]Jack:[/u] Sure.

[u]Matt:[/u] So how long are we gonna be roughing it?

[u]Alison:[/u] One or two days. The forecast said it's in the 50's, so it shouldn't be that bad.

[u]Susan:[/u] Hey Al, tell your fans a little bit about what you're doing.

[u]Alison:[/u] We are gonna go look at some ruins and then I'm gonna talk to the museum director about the relic that was found at Dire Grove.

[u]Jack:[/u] Here is Dire Grove. Nothing too ominous about that, aye govenor?

Tape 5

[u]Alison:[/u] Dire Grove, here it is. I think it's just up that trail.

[u]Matt:[/u] Why is it snowing?

[u]Susan:[/u] It's freezing, and we didn't pack for this kind of weather.

[u]Matt:[/u] Isn't it supposed to be in the 50's?

[u]Alison:[/u] I don't know. It's exciting though, isn't it? C'mon.

[u]Jack:[/u] Looks like we're in the right place.

[u]Matt:[/u] "Dire Grove: closed for the season". Seems deserted.

[u]Alison:[/u] C'mon you guys, this is gonna be fun.

Tape 6

[u]Jack:[/u] Should we just break in?

[u]Alison:[/u] I don't know about that.

[u]Matt:[/u] Is it even locked?

*whispering noises*

Tape 7

[u]Matt:[/u] What are you doing?

[u]Susan:[/u] Just leaving a note in the guest book.

[u]Jack:[/u] "The legend is real". When are you going to fill us in on this legend anyway?

Tape 8

[u]Matt:[/u] We can all this way. When are you going to tell us about this mysterious legend?

[u]Alison:[/u] Well, it just so happens that I have my slides from my lecture right here. So, roughly 2,000 years ago on this very spot, lived an ancient civilization called the Celts. What is now Dire Grove was once the settlement of Gaelin.

[u]Jack:[/u] Should we be taking notes?

[u]Alison:[/u] Four counts: a hunter, a blacksmith, a farmer, and a fisherman: all gathered in Gaelin and successfully contacted their deceased ancestors by performing the ceremony with these four magical objects. Unfortunately, a gate was opened between the warm grainland of the living and the icy void of the dead. Not knowing how to close the gates, the Celts watched in horror as the icy land of the dead crept into their world. They realized if they didn't know the ice, it would overtake the whole earth, so they had to close the gate. They abducted this young woman and thrust her, like a sacrifice, into the portal. It worked. The ice receeded, the earth was green and warm. The Celts collected those magic objects and hid them in difference places so that they would never be united again.

[u]Matt:[/u] And what happened to the girl?

[u]Alison:[/u] Well, some people call her the Banshee, other people call her the Ice Lady. Supposedly she waits for the discovery of the relics so that she can come back and turn the earth to ice, so that we may all feel her pain.

[u]Susan:[/u] A few days ago, archaeologists unearthed a relic near Dire Grove that Alison--

[u]Matt:[/u] You believe it's one of the four devices used to open a gate to another world.

[u]Alison:[/u] Right.

Tape 9

[u]Matt:[/u] So if they found the first relic, do you think the other three are buried around here somewhere?

[u]Alison:[/u] That's my guess. The carvings that were found on the relic that was found represent the blacksmith: fire. The Celts place great reverence in the four natural elements of earth, air, fire, water. It just makes sense that the other relics would represent the other elements. Remember who opened the portal? Farmer: earth, fisherman: water...

[u]Susan:[/u] So id the relics came together again, you're saying the portal would reopen and release the soul of the woman trapped thousands of years ago?

[u]Alison:[/u] Yes, but unfortunately it would also freeze the entire world in the process.

[u]Jack:[/u] And there'd be no turning back.

[u]Alison:[/u] I suppose. I mean, that's how the story's been told for thousands of years. Although, the Celts do believe in this mysterious fifth element, which would trump the other four.

[u]Susan:[/u] What was it?

[u]Alison:[/u] Roughly translated, it's known as the "silver soul". There's not a whole lot known about it. It's thought to be highly magical by the Celtic elders, the Druids. Anyway, if an object representing the fifth element was in some way combined with the other four, it would lock the portal forever.

[u]Matt:[/u] Let's hope we don't have to find out.

Tape 10

[u]Jack:[/u] I can't sleep I'm so cold. Are you freezing?

[u]Susan:[/u] It's gotta be twenty below in here. Looks like the fire's out.

[u]Alison:[/u] Where's Matt?

[u]Jack:[/u] His sleeping bag is cold. Maybe he went to the bathroom.

*whispering voices*

[u]Alison:[/u] Matt? Matt?

[u]Susan:[/u] Matt!

[u]Alison:[/u] Hey Matt? Matt, come on, this isn't funny.

[u]Susan:[/u] I'm gonna go help her.

Tape 11

[u]Alison:[/u] Matt? Hey Matt come on this isn't funny.

[u]Jack:[/u] I'm freezing.

[u]Alison:[/u] Maybe we should look outside.

[u]Jack:[/u] Hey, check it out. Footprints.

[u]Alison:[/u] Matt!

[u]Jack:[/u] Dude, where are you?

[u]Alison:[/u] Matt, it's too cold to be playing out here.

[u]Jack:[/u] Look, more footprints.

[u]Alison:[/u] Looks like somebody's been digging holes.

[u]Jack:[/u] More holes over here.

[u]Alison:[/u] Matt? Matt... Matt...?

[u]Jack:[/u] Dude, what are you digging for?

*gasps*

Tape 12

[u]Alison:[/u] We need to go get help.

[u]Susan:[/u] We can't just leave him here!

[u]Jack:[/u] I'll go with her. Will you be OK?

[u]Susan:[/u] Yeah, just hurry.

[u]Jack:[/u] OK, I'll get help. Just stay here, OK? Just watch him.

[u]Alison:[/u] Jack, I'm really scared. I think he's gone totally off.

[u]Jack:[/u] Hey, it's gonna be OK. I promise, OK? We're gonna get out of this.

[u]Alison:[/u] What's wrong?

[u]Jack:[/u] The car, it's too cold or something, it won't start!

[u]Alison:[/u] C'mon c'mon...

[u]Jack:[/u] I'm trying, I'm trying.

*whispering noise*

[u]Jack:[/u] Did you hear that?

[u]Alison:[/u] Hear what? You're totally freaking me out, stop!

[u]Jack:[/u] She's calling my name.

[u]Alison:[/u] Jack, look, you need to get the car started! Stop!

*Jack freaks out, Alison screams*

Tape 13

[u]Alison:[/u] Susan! Susan-- Where's Matt?

[u]Susan:[/u] He wouldn't stop digging, and I got too cold. It's getting worse out there. Where's Ja--

[u]Alison:[/u] Jack's... gone.

[u]Susan:[/u] What? To get help?

[u]Alison:[/u] No, he freaked out and he ran into the woods. OK, we need to start a fire right now before we freeze to death.

[u]Susan:[/u] No, we need to get help.

[u]Alison:[/u] No, it's too cold. We need to start a fire right now. What's that?

[u]Susan:[/u] I found them behind the desk while I was looking for matches. If we're gonna stay here, that's fine, but keep this with you.

[u]Alison:[/u] Stop. I am worried about the guys too, but we have to start a fire. I don't know what else to do. There's something out there.

Tape 14

[u]Susan (via walkie-talkie):[/u] Alison, can you hear me? Hello?

[u]Alison:[/u] Susan? Where did you go?

[u]Susan:[/u] I don't... Help!

[u]Alison:[/u] Come back to the room!

[u]Susan:[/u] She's got me. *screams*

[u]Alison:[/u] This is a distress call to anyone who finds this tape. The legend is real. I came here with my friends Susan, Jack, and Matt, and she took all of them. I knew this was gonna happen. It's getting really cold. I can feel the ice moving under...

[u]Susan:[/u] Help!

[u]Alison:[/u] Susan, are you there?

*whispering voices*

[u]Alison:[/u] Susan? Ahh!

Tape 15

[u]Alison:[/u] Susan, is that you? Susan? I'm scattering these tapes to increase our chances of being found. The legend is real. This is not a stunt. I'm a graduate student. My name's Alison Sterling and I come from Strayer University. Susan? Is that you? Susan, is that you? Leave me alone, leave me alone! No!

Tape 16

[u]Alison:[/u] C'mon, start! C'mon start, please! Oh no... *jibberish* I'm so worried. I dunno what to do. "If you find this note, please, the legend is real. She has re--" Whatever you do, don't-- *screams*

[list][*]Find the objects listed at the bottom of the screen. Objects are randomized, but one will be added to your inventory upon completing the area. This inventory object is circled in red.[/list]

[list][*]Upon completing the area, the Phone Receiver will be added to your inventory.[*]Return to the secret hatch in the grocery store.[/list] Secret Hatch

[list][*]Use the Phone Receiver from your inventory on the phone.[/list]

Special Note:

[list][*]Upon completing the game, a riddle-like puzzle will appear in the credits. The puzzle is listed below (as well as the answers to it):[/list] President's address (1600)
* the square root of 9 (3)
+ the number of yards in a mile (1760)
+ the year the King left the building (1977)
- PacMan ghosts (4)
+ decimal translation of the binary number 101011101011 (2795)
* Felix's Address (333)
- California Police Penal Code for Murder (187)
+ Columbus sailed the ocean blue (1492)
* letters in Rachael Ray's middle name ( 8 )
- height of the Space Needle in feet (605)
+ Shaq's shoe size (23)
- Alison's area code (206)
/ the atomic number of Silicon (14)

[list][*]Calculate these things, and you'll arrive at the conclusion "215-6246". This is the phone number you'll need to dial on the phone.[*]Now here's the tricky thing: you'll have to replay the entire game to get back to the phone and dial that number. Once you do dial the number, however, the following message will ensue:[/list] "Well, hello again detective, nice of you to drop by. I would have stuck around for a chat but the weather seems to have taken a turn for the worse. Feel free to make yourself at home, but I wouldn't dally if I were you. The man with the inky (icky?) bird has been very busy in the dark. There is something he would like to show you. Clicky, clicky detective. I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise."

[list][*]A teaser for the next installment of the series, perhaps? Speculate and enjoy.[/list]If you have already played this game and you liked it very much, we advise you to try these ones

First, this probably isnt the right area to post this. Sorry, but im desperate. You users seem to be good with with computer related stuff. We have a credit card machine and everything was working great until we went from time warner cable to DSL. Our credit card unit now will NOT connect through ethernet..only dial up. We have checked our router that it is plugged into and the port is lit so we know its connected. All of our desktops connect to the web all day long without problems .Anyone have any ideas!?!? Thanks in advance!
