For those not wanting to read multiple threads and piece together what took place tonight...

Here is the cliff notes version

Agents:

We got a note from our mole today:

    I have a message I must send to you but I can not do it directly.

    I have located payphones around the world and will send my messages to them between 14:00 and 15:00 in the local time of the phone. You must be at the phone to receive the message. Once the group has received all four messages meet me at the location given in the messages at 22:00 EST for further instructions.

    Location 1: Kurfüstendamn 224, Far Left Phone, Berlin, Germany
    Location 2: 212-206-0216
    Location 3: 214-741-4308
    Location 4: 415-550-9772

    Good luck...

Berlin - No one was there - replaced by message received on Chicago Mini Heist cell phone

NY - Agent @ location but no contact - apparent issue with local authorities

Dallas - apt123 in contact with agent. n Dallas, a flower arrangement was sent with a note that read, "From your friends at Stormwind City"

San Fran drop - So SF Drop, Greeted by a singing peewee Herman imitator gifted wit Balloons, Straw Hats, Bubbles and the message: AGGRAMAR


Aggramar = World of Warcraft realm
Stormwind City = Human "capital" city

Call was received on cell phone (mav728)
42 76 THAT SHOULD ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS

That led to a location in Stormwind City - a tailoring shop located in the mage quarter

We were contacted by Haigha (human priest) with the following (after being asked for  forgiveness for our contact being so late):

We were asked to join channel Lookingglass ( you can create private chat channels on WoW)

"An associate of mine wants to help you find something you are looking for, but requires a small task of you first"

"acquire one gross of Shiny Red Apples and bring them to him in the Coldridge Valley."

After that message we stuck around - she logged off. Hatta then joined the channel as we were on our way to Iron Forge.

Coldridge Valley is in the starter area for gnomes. We were low level and not much cashage so had to spend a small amount of time farming for silver and apples in the area.
Hatta was a gnome warlock (also not wielding any weapons in game).

After doing so, and lumping all the silver together, Ravenite made the pickup in Iron Forge of apples. We returned to Coldridge to seek out Hatta.

The apples were turned over which led to this:

"Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see, but it is impossible. Humans hide their secrets to well... Each of you has seen something, something applish and hatty, which hides another thing."

I think everyone can get it from there.

The pdf is one of these:

which still remains to be cracked.


Thanks to everyone who got us to the point of getting to WoW.
Thanks Ravenite and my SO for the WoW companionship (awesome trogg slaying).
And thanks everyone for keeping the forums updated as we were trying to finish the WoW portion out.

I'm guessing this has something to do with the PDF that's under the painting on the front page -- you need to fold that image into a fortune teller game -- I'm still trying to figure out what to do from there.

Also want to give a shout out to apt213 (sp?) and the others who made the RL meets happen. apt213 especially really went above and beyond organizing the Dallas meet.

It was also great to see mav728 pull out the cell phone from Chicago and procure a charger. I was afraid we'd be stuck on that one.

Thanks!

Woah. I missed a lot.

In anyway does this MH mini-heist relate to the overall PDF story in anyway?

Want to add that as I understood it the message from the NYC Agent should have been "It's the mooninites all over again".

Yeah it is - question is whether he was talking about the arresting or about the message of the agent tongue
