23rd of Bresin, Fhenta 239
Storage Note:
Uncontainable
Description:
The wolf of time, or its true name Sithenphithen, is a god of unfathomable size and power. It appears to most people as a gray wolf, standing about 4ft tall. It also appears to be the pet of Fsoik (Obs-007). Sithenphithen appears to have the ability to alter time making it a big threat to the institute. With it having this emence power it would be foolish to try and imprison or destroy this god but surveillance must be carried out on any groups attempting to summon the god and met with violent action to squash these groups.
Discovery:
The God was discovered by some members of the institute after discovering the Cult of Forbidden Time and their HQ on 24 Chamber st in Lifan which had a hole to Fsoikeraside.

Addendum Obs-275.1:
Report of Events Reported by Dr Vincent Terry Berrisford.
Several members of the institute received letters addressed by themselves telling us to meet at The Kings Rest Inn in South Henham on the 21st of Bresin at 5 and to ask for Dr Quinn. The letter also said other IO members would be there. Seeing this I went to Cordelia and Wolstan in the archive. They had also received these strange letter to which we decided to investigate the town. The town wasnt on any records in the archive but Dr Isaac Farley who lived at the manor house there was known to the institute as he has conducted some quite bizarre experimenters. Although he hasn’t been seen at his university office for some time. At this point General Culpepper, the head of the OI army, and my sister Molly came down to the archive to ask about this strange letter he got and also that Dicky wasn’t at his post today. Non of us had a clue where he was, we assumed he was on some mission for the OI. He gets sent on these secret missions every now and then.
We decided to set out in the morning and get the train to South Henham around 10 o’clock. We arrived in South Henham just after 11 where we made out way strait to the inn. We wasn’t really sure what we were looking for so we just got a pint and sat down. Felt a bit early, especially considering it was a Monday, but what else are you ment to do at a pub.
Molly asked the bartender about the Dr, they said they think it was the gentleman in the corner with his wife. We went over and introduced ourselves. The woman he was with was Diana Carlson. A colleague at his university. He had told her about the letter and she insisted on coming along. There was also a telegram telling him Dr Farley had compleahed his experiment and to come to his manor to see him.
We decided to walk up to the Manor where we met the butler, a Mr Ackley, as well as Helena Cotton, a friend of Dr Farley who said she had also been invited to see his experiment. The butler then left to go find Dr Farley, with Ms Cotton joining. We struck this as odd but didn’t dig into it as we didn’t want to pry. After a few minutes they haddent returned so we decided to walk out into the corridor. The room was silent. We walked across the corridor into the library where we could see his experiment. A mangled mess of wires hucked up to a strange suit. It looked like diving equipment.
Realising the Dr, the butler and Ms Cotton were nowhere to be seen we decided to split up to search the house. I went to check the downstairs while the rest went to check upstairs.
Downstairs wasn’t much, no sign of any of them. But while walking to the kitchen I saw Ms Carlson being eaten alive by a wolf. As I ran towards her both the wolf and Ms Carlson disapeard. I ran back through the downstairs towards the stairs. When I got to the library there were 2 figures wearing bags over their heads with eye holes. Remember someone having these when I was serving in Kuhy. They were went to keep gas from entering the lungs. They tapped their watch and disappeared. At thin point I noticed the suit had disapeard.
A screen from upstairs echoed down the stairs. I decided to leave the suit mistory for later. Running upstairs a large wolf had broken through a bedroom door and was eating Ms Carlson. This was the same as I had seen it downstairs. Unbeknownst to me at this time, Walston and Cardilia were talking to Dr Farley. A glimpse into the past. Dr Farley had left a journal in the stables about what had been happening. He was suspicious of Harold who infact was not the butler but Helena Cotton’s brother. Who was infact not Helena Cotton but Elizabeth Clare. Or at least as the Dr knew them as.
Back in the corridor Me and Culpepper were shooting down this wolf as it lunged towards us. It dropped to the floor and promptly vanished leaving no trace. We ran up to Carlson but she was already dead. Her lungs had been pierced by the wolf and she died of asphyxiation.
In the room where the wolf had come from was the mangled remains of Elizabeth Clare. The room felt cold and a sence of foreboding came over me.
We led Dr Farley with is to the stabled to help find the journal bit as soon as he left the house he vanished. In the stables we we’re able to find the journal anyway.
Returning to the house we found Harold coming down the stairs. He cast some sort of spell on us cos we couldn’t move. He explained that his real name was Levi Rowland. And that he was the head of a cult called The Cult of Forbidden Time. He is also poring lantern fluid all over the entrance hall. He askes for the code. No one says anything. Then he says it again. Presumably with a magic spell and Walston says the code. He pulls the suit out the closet and unlocks the chest lock and takes out a stone cut into a heptahedron (Walston told me the name, its a 7 faced shape). He explained it was the core of the time suit and he was taking it to summon his god Sithenphithen. He sets the house alight and jumps on his horse. Cordilia was able to break free from the spell and helps the others release themselves. At this point Levi had set off and without a horse we couldn’t go after him. He had slawterd all the horses in the stables so we couldn’t go after him.
We walked back to the town and got on the train back to Lifan. When we got there we went strait to the institute and searched the archive for the cult. The cult was known to the institute but was assumed they were worshiping a false god so the cult was allowed to continue to exist. Levi Rowland has a police record with a warrent for their arrest. There were items taken from Levi during his arrest. One is a book with cipher text in. The text was the destination of the HQ. 4.20.5. In Dr Farley’s journal he mentioned Levi was always reading a book called “The Masque of Read Death”. We used the book to cypher the code. 24 Chamber st.
We arrived at Chamber St at half 6 where we enterh the building. There was no one in the enterence. In the closet were some brown robes. We put them on just as a big crowed of men in the same robes walked through. We decided to follow them. They headed down into the basement where we saw Dicky tied to a crucifix next to a bottomless pit. All the robed men stood round the edge of the hole. Next to Dicky one person took there hood off it was Levi. He throws the stone into the whole and said “and new for the human sacrifice”. 2 other men begin to lower Dicky into the hole. At this point Molly tackles Levi but ends up falling in. I, Cordilia and Cullpepper pull our guns on the men lowering Dicky into the whole. The rest of the men all pull their guns on us. Seeing as there was no other way out we decide to jump into the whole.
We came to an a gravel floor. We were all pritty ingered. As I was trying to get up Cordilia leaps on Levi and stabs him several times in the chest.
This world was completely gray. A heavy thick tray fog permiahed the world. Dicky was pritty badly wonded by the fall and whatever the cilt had done beforehand. We had to carry him as he couldn’t walk. We decided to walk, where we quickly found a door. The door to the institute. Confuced Walston tried his key and managed to unlocked the doors.
Inside was a rundown institute. Metal rusted, wood decaying. Looking through the window into tho courtyard we saw a grandfather clock with some strange symbols on the floor. The doors to the courtyard were locked. We walked round the corner but large metal bars blocked our way. Thankfully the stairs were unlocked so we went up to the 1st floor and round the corridor towards the archive. Before we were able to get there we got attacked by 2 heavily decayed men. With both me and culpepper holding Dicky molly had to shoot down these 2 men. They went down pritty easy. In the archive we couldn’t go down stairs as they wernt there. We went upstairs and managed to get round to the infirmary were we patched up Dicky the best we could. On this side of the building we managed to get back to the ground floor where we could enter the cort yard.
In the courtyard the clock stood ticking. The sounds didn’t echo, like we were in a padded room. The door creaked open as we walked up. On the other side was an endless flat stone expance. We walked through. It’s was but u could see for miles. After a few seconds we noticed a large mass in the sky of unfathomable size. A figure walked in telling this Eldrich being to “down”. The figue was Fsoik. They were wearing a smart black suit. Like one you’d wear to a party. The features of their face seem to slide off you, I could not focus on it. They explained they had been egerly awaiting to see us. They said they had a job for me but first we had to wright ourselves a letter. This was the letter we recited before. Fsoik collected them and I began to faint.
I’m sat here in a prison cell. Not why am I wrighting this. Who is this for.
Addendum Obs-275.2:
Report of Events Reported by Admiral Richard Berrisford.
On the 21st of Bresin at around 0500h I was accosted by several men in robes at my apartment. I fort them off valiently but there was too many of them and I was knocked out by some chloroform one of them had on a hankacheaf. I woke up in a dingy lit room tied to a crucifix while numerous men in the same robes walked in. Were they worshiping me or something. At this point I noticed the large hole beneath the me. I was infact not seen as a god but as a sacrifice to one. These heathens were worshiping a false god. I was being lowered into the hole when one of the robed men revealed themselves to be Molly. I was not expecting that. She tackles one of them into the hole. Then 3 other men aim at the men behind me. All the others draw on them. The three then jump into the whole before I was also dropped into the hole.
When we came to the guy Molly had tacked down was dead. It was a struggle but I managed to get myself on my feet. The cult members really did a number of me. In front of us was the institute. Not sure how it got down here. We unlocked the door. In the courtyard in the middle was a grandfather clock but we couldn’t get to it. Big metal bars blocked the corridors funneling us upstairs. Upstairs we found 2 ghouls. I managed, while my arm was broken, to shoot these things with my revolver. We went on a maze around the institute before managing to get to the back courtyard door and entered the courtyard. We somehow entered the clock in the center. Not sure what happened next as I passed out.
Addendum Obs-275.3:
This is Miriam, head archavist, no idea where this file came from, it just apeard in the archive shortly after the members mentioned in it went missing. We still have had no contact from them other than this file. We investigated the hole to Fsoikeraside but it appears to be filled in with solid stone. The cult members have mostly been aprihended by the Royal military.
