Kenzon: /* Puzzlewood Challenge */

The theme of the '''Summer Solstice 2016''' celebration [[:category:event|event]] was "Resonance". The various events were orchestrated by [[Shadowfax]]. [[Draak]] contributed the Mud Volcano and Fortress of Sutton Vu. [[Morpheus]] and [[Dentin]] assisted with setup and debugging. [[Kagome]] and [[Aziz]] playtested the Drakdrol area.

==Timeline==

The various quests of the main event are organized into "Acts". There were three such acts.

==Background==

The first script for the main event was written in late May and presented to Shadowfax's peers for feedback. A second draft was posted June 2nd, based on the feedback received from Dentin and other world builders. The original script had Drakdrol as a living planet eater inhabited by aliens that were controlling it. Players would have had to fight the aliens and antibodies inside of Drakdrol. Other ideas that were scrapped were having a rogue titan team up with a demon to be the main villains, and having them be involved in a love triangle with another demon which aided players out of jealousy.

==Event conclusion==
{{MUDdisplay|
While adventurers were gallivanting about on Drakdrol, Gisco the
Necromancer and Blanagan the Scientist created huge metal racks covered in
scrolls of the 'unburden' spell. Using Blanagan's calculations, Princess
Anzu Firewalker cast the gate spells that allowed them to push the racks
onto Drakdrol's surface moments after the adventurers had fully activated
the Ultimate Preservation Program. Gisco then remotely recited the scrolls
through the open gates using demonic thralls.
The church of Dentin has put forth an official declaration that while the
efforts of Blanagan and Gisco were exemplary, the spells alone were not
enough to span the distance required to push Drakdrol away from Alter Aeon,
and that Dentin himself intervened at the last moment to bridge the
remaining gap. Dentin will soon be creating a permanent portal to the
surface of Drakdrol.
Drakdrol is now in a stable location celestially near Alter Aeon, occupying
its lagrangian 2 point, and is thus being towed around the sun using Alter
Aeon's gravity. Because Alter Aeon is between Drakdrol and the sun, it is
usually in Alter Aeon's shadow, with only occasional slivers of it visible
now and again due to libration. Because it remains in the dark, its
surface temperature remains low, meaning the native life is no longer in
danger of extinction. Druids are now studying Drakdrol's animals and how
to harvest moonlight reflected from Drakdrol for magic spells.
Blanagan has resumed his duties of maintaining the Behr'zok Orrery and has
been bestowed with the title of 'Astronomer' in lieu of 'Scientist' in
light of recent events. Gisco the Necromancer taught a few spells to
Blanagan before returning the wilderness and remains at large.

Frallo the old druid's quests

2016-07-13T13:34:21Z

Kenzon: /* Notes */

Optional side quest best to be done after [[Brought the sunlight staff back to the encampment]]. This quest has two parts:-

# Brought food for the hibernating bear
# Found some peppergrass leaves

== Brought food for the hibernating bear ==

{{QuestHeader
|quest=Brought food for the hibernating bear
|questor=Frallo the old druid
|level=3
}}

{{QuestStep
|step=1
|area=The Stony Field
|hints=Enter the tree and talk to the druid
}}

{{MUDdisplay|
After exchanging pleasantries and relaying the story of the fall of Pellam,
the druid seems a bit perplexed.

'This is quite unusual. This island was thought devoid of most of the usual
types of demons and other foul beasts - the source of these creatures is
probably the doing of some more powerful entity, but I'm sure the people of
Vemarken and Ralnoth will put a stop to it soon.

But nevermind that. If you don't mind, I could use a bit of help. My realm
here is small, but I have been unable to care for the animals in my charge
recently.

Outside of this tree, there is a hidden crack in the stone wall that leads to
a protected clearing. You can 'enter' the crack to get to the clearing. On
the south side of the clearing there is a cave with a sleeping bear. The
bear is a friend of mine and will wake soon. If you could gather some food
and leave it for him when he wakes, I would greatly appreciate it.

You can either forage or catch fish in the stream. Both of these skills I
can teach you (use the 'slist' command.) Feel free to use one of my fishing
poles if you like. Simply 'give' what you catch to the bear.

Under no circumstances are you to kill any of the creatures under my
protection. If you kill any creature in the clearing, you will no
longer be welcome here.'

{{MUDdisplay|
'Thank you for your help, perhaps you actually have the heart of a
ranger or druid.

If you would like to stay for dinner, I can offer some stew, but it
would be incomplete without some peppergrass to season it. In the hidden
clearing there are several bushes of peppergrass. If you want properly
seasoned stew, feel free to pick some and bring it back to me. You may
have to search though, it isn't always the most obvious looking plant'

{{MUDdisplay|
'Thank you again for your help. Help yourself to some stew if you'd like,
and feel free to rest here in your travels next time you pass through the
area.

One thing I can offer you for now is a little bit of help should you run into
the demons that attacked Pellam. Take this statue, and when you run into
trouble 'use' it to invoke its magic. The effect won't last for long, but you
may find the companionship helpful in more ways than one.'
}}

{{QuestRewards| Leveled Exp, Leveled Gold, a small statue}}

==Notes==
* You get a statue which can be used to summon a mountain lion as a reward for completing the quest.
* The tree where the old druid is can be found by going three south from the stoney field waypoint. The hidden crack is also there.
