St. Louis Cemetery 4th visit.{ Max. points = 4 }
***** Again go to the tomb of Marie Laveau.
***** Examine the markings on the side of the tomb – THEY HAVE CHANGED!
***** From inventory, take your sketchbook and copy the new coded message – you now have Voodoo Code Page 2.
N.B. In inventory, the coded message that Magentia translated has been renamed from Voodoo Codeto Voodoo Code Page 1. [+ 2 points]
***** Voodoo Page 2 is automatically translated from symbols into English using the translated Voodoo Page 1 by combining Voodoo Code Page 1 and Voodoo Code Page 2 in inventory and obtaining the single item Voodoo Code, a composite of the two pages side by side! [+ 2 points]
***** The new message, as far as the available symbols have been translated and hence are known is:- “ DJKEEPE?ESONGKB?TDONOTHAR? ”
***** There are three symbols missing (?) and from the context it is EXTREMELY easy to identify them. Hence the FULL new message (as seen in the inventory item Voodoo Code) is:- “ DJ KEEP EYES ON GK BUT DO NOT HARM ”
***** Since both these messages are addressed to Dr. John, Gabriel decides to visit him at the Voodoo Museum again
***** Exit the St. Louis Cemetery onto the map of the French Quarter. From there, move to the Voodoo Museum,.

***** Madame Lorelei has returned after her previous hysteria!
***** Talk to her ( In comic-book style -She seems more ‘witch-like’ in this sequence!?).
***** She warns Gabriel to stop his affair with Malia Gedde or he will die !!?? [+ 3 points]
***** Gabriel needs to find out whereabouts the conclave is due to take place tonight. To do this, he needs to crack the code that the Rada drummers are beating out as an invitation to all those involved. This is quite a puzzle and so if you need help, the following graduated hints should provide the solution.
[1] Approach the drummer and try to talk to him – but he ignores Gabriel and just keeps on drumming.
[2] From inventory use the Rada Book on the drummer and wait until you obtain two full lines of Rada Drum symbols – 36 symbols in all.
[3] Examine the results of the abovementioned action:-
(a) On the left hand half of your screen are three accessible pages of Rada Drum symbols with their translations into English. The pages are one on top of the other and are accessed by using the clockwise/anticlockwise curved arrows. Page-1 is on top and active so long as there is NO curved arrow on the left side and a clockwise curved arrow on the right side.
(b) On the right hand half of your screen are two (horizontal) lines of Rada Drum symbols. Each line contains 18 symbols.
(c) There are over a half dozen different individual (shaped) symbols. Words are ‘spelt’ out by the drums with different combinations of these symbols/’letters’.
(d) Each word of the message consists of several (e.g. 4, 5 or 6) letters/symbols.
(e) In order to decipher the full message you have to look up the various strings (groups) of symbols (letters) in order to compare them with the three page ‘dictionary’ on the left hand side of the screen.
(f) The drum symbols are entirely different ones from the Voodoo Code symbols which appeared on Marie Laveau’s tomb in the St. Louis Cemetery.
[4] There are three words (i.e. groups of a few symbols) embedded somewhere amongst the 36 symbols – the rest of the symbols are junk and only designed as camouflage to hide the essential three words from ‘outsiders’. There is one (vital) word on each of the three pages of the Rada Book. These three essential specific groups of symbols have to be identified AND TRANSLATED.
[5] Ensure that you are on page-1 of the Rada Book (on the left half of the screen). Then scan down the list of groups of symbols (i.e. ‘words’) until you find one group which is IDENTICAL to a string of symbols somewhere in the two lines of drum-beat-symbols. Then click on that group of Rada-page symbols and its corresponding English translation is inscribed below the straight line beneath the drumbeat symbols.
[6] The string of symbols inside the 36 drum beats (two lines) on the right which is identical to a group on the first page of the Rada Book on the left is on the bottom line symbols second thro’ fifth from the left.
This string of symbols is identical to the second row down on page-1 of the Rada Book whose translation there into English is ‘TONIGHT‘ – Click on this on the left half of the screen and the four symbols and the ‘Tonight’ translation appear on the right side. of the screen below the straight line near the bottom.
[7] Click on the clockwise round arrow on the Rada Book page to access its page-2. In a similar
way to [6], deal with page-2:-
The relevant parameters in this case are:-
Right hand side of the screen; Bottom Right hand side of the screen on line of Rada Drum symbols ……. Five symbols, 11th thro’ 15th.
Left hand side of the screen; Rada Book, second line from the bottom ……. yielding the translation “SWAMP”.
[8] Click on the clockwise round arrow on the Rada Book page to access its page-3. In a similar
way to [6], deal with page-3:-
The relevant parameters in this case are:-
Right hand side of the screen; Top Right hand side of the screen on line of Rada Drum symbols ……. Five symbols, 7th thro’ 12th.
Left hand side of the screen; Rada Book, the bottom line……. yielding the translation “CALL CONCLAVE”. [+ 5 points]
***** Gabriel now knows where & when the conclave is due to take place – ” ………. In the swamp – that must be the Bayou!”.
***** A new location appears on the map of Greater New Orleans – it is ‘Bayou St, John‘.
***** Exit Jackson Square onto the map of the French Quarter. From there, move to the St. Louis Cemetery.
{ Total points to date = 226 }
St. Louis Cemetery 5th visit.{ Max. points = 5 }
***** Mark time until the watchman moves away and cannot see Gabriel ‘defacing’ Marie Laveau’s tomb – if he doesn’t move away, exit and return!
***** Gabriel has hidden a tracker in the coffin ( i.e. ‘Sekey Madoulé’ ) in the Voodoo Museum so that it will lead him directly to the conclave tonight. For this to happen he needs to ensure that Dr. John will take it to the conclave ……………
*****…………… and so he will post a blatant message on the wall of the tomb to ensure that this will materialize. If the solution to this puzzle is unclear, the following hints should help:-
(i) The message that Gabriel is going to send to Dr. John is “DJ Tonight Bring Sekey Madoulé”.
(ii) From inventory Use the BrickORthe Voodoo Code (You don’t need both) on the Marie’s tomb.
(iii) The right half of the screen is where Gabriel’s ‘illegal’ coded message will appear. The left half of the screen contains the TWO pages that have previously been deciphered together with the English lettered translations of their symbols.
(iii) Identify the symbol corresponding to each English letter of the above message and click on it in the correct order. The full message wi0ll appear letter-symbol by letter-symbol on the right half of the screen.
(iv) To check if your coded message is 100% correct, the following should help:-
(a) Page-1 and page-2 are accessed by toggling the top right hand corner of the pages – where it says ‘Turn Page’.
(b) If you are not sure which of the two pages you are on at the moment, note that page-1 contains five full rows (30 symbols/letters) whereas in page-2 the bottom/fifth row is incomplete (26 symbols/letters).
(c) Designating each column of symbols/letters from left to right by the letters ‘A’ thro’ ‘F’ and each row from top to bottom by the numbers ‘1’ thro’ ‘6’ AND page-2 references in curly brackets ……………
(d) The correct message is:-
{A1}: {B1}; E2; F2; A3; B3; C3; D3; E3; F3; A4; B4; C4; D4; E5; A5; C5; A5; {B2}; {B5}; B2; {F3}; F2; {D3}; A2; D2. [+ 5 points]
***** Exit the St. Louis Cemetery onto the map of the French Quarter. From there, move to the St. George’s Book store.
{ Total points to date = 231 }
St. George’s Book Store9th visit.{ Max. points = 3 }
***** Apparently Gabriel intends to infiltrate the conclave and hence needs to disguise himself as much as possible.
***** Remember Grace’s art materials!?
***** From inventory show Grace the Voodoo Mask and ask her if she would do him a favour and paint a copy on his chest. She is reluctant but agrees after some fabrications and unsolicited and unappreciated cracks from Gabriel!
***** They go into Gabriel’s bedroom and (in a comic-book type cut scene) paints his chest as requested! [+ 5 points]
{ Total points to date = 234 }
Bayou St. John 1st visit.{ Max. points = 7 }
***** Gabriel parks his motor bike on the dirt patch which provides a parking area for the bayou.
***** From inventory he takes out his Tracing Device and uses it for guidance to the conclave.
***** Follow the exits towards the entrance to the conclave – this is likely to take at least a half a dozen moves… Gabriel is always at the centre of the vertical and horizontal crosshairs of the tracking device and the conclave is indicated by the white blip. He has to go up/down or right/left at every move in order to approach the white blip.
***** It should be straightforward to reach the entrance to the celebrations but it is a sort of minor maze and in case the tracking device is not enough (which it certainly should be), here are the directions:-
(i) Click on the label ‘Enter Bayou’.
(ii) Click on the labels ‘ Exit to ? ‘ in order:- up; right; up; down; right; up; right;
***** At the entrance to the conclave the drums are now very loud. Gabriel takes out his Crocodile Mask (from inventory) and covers his head with it – he also removes his shirt to expose his (copy of his) Snake Tattoo and takes off his shoes to complete his ‘disguise’.
***** Gabriel enters the conclave. He is interrogated by Dr. John (aka ‘Brother Eagle’) who asks (aka ‘B4other Crocodile) two vital questions – if he doesn’t answer fairly quickly or wrongly… he’s dead – but he can immediately try again.
***** In case you don’t remember, the correct (questions and) answers are:-
(i) Name the great serpent who crushes all in its coils? …. Damballah
(ii) Who is the destroyer of men? ………………………………… Ogoun Badagris
***** You now see a rather long nightmarish comic-book style cut scene of grotesque Voodoo practices. Malia Gedde is very involved in the threatening activities!!!
***** Gabriel passes out and the scene automatically shifts to Gabriel’s bedroom in the St. George’s Bookstore. Gabriel is in bed in a deep nightmarish sleep. ,Grace wakes him up and explains what has happened etc. It is the NEXT DAY! [+ 4 points]
