THREAT LEVEL ORANGE

[*juggleblood*]

NOTICE

Based on confirmed information from reliable sources there is a high probability of an emminent attack on the citizens of Bal Harbor and Newbatia Township. The red sash brigade headquarters has not released the exact nature of the threat, but is asking everyone to be extra vigilant Sunday afternoon. The terror alert warning system thus currently stands at threat level orange with the expectation of going to red very soon.

Thank you and God bless you.

Thanks all who participated in opener. It was definitely fun. It was kinda funny how many players assumed that the quest could just be solved by going to an area and typing 'where galio'. Thanks Truth for actually taking the clue and talking to the appropriate mob.

I realize that a lot of people were unhappy about part of the quest being on VK. My bad. Lesson learned. But was definitely amusing to see a huge group of vker's fighting the demogorgon. You probably could have killed it on your own eventually.

Anyway, have fun exploring the zone and finding the new pops.

Gratz on getting the new area in Rub. I
m tipping a cold sam adam's for ya as we speak.

When I arrived there was a hardy vk group fighting demo. Marvel led these fine adventurers through a few runs. Marvel soon asked if anyone would lead and I gave it my best shot. After a run the powerful Immortal Clink came to valkyre to help us. Clink tanked the evil Demo and soon we were victorious, reclaiming the twenty bars of dwarven gold and 10 drachma. We then ventured to Settlestone to find clues about the dwarven gold. Truth led us to King Brandor who told us how his gold was unjustly stolen and of Galios imprisonment. We gave the King his gold and he showed us the way to Chopak the scout. Chopak is in the monk guild on settlestone. Hire chopak for 1m coins and 250k a head and he will lead you to the new area The Kingdom of Salamis. Inside we found foot soldiers that steal The Chalice of Ra due to it being illegal in the area. We found martyrs that explode themselves and kill players in the room. Mobs of pilgrims jumped us near the Minaret. Eventually we found our way to Osama and freed Mayor Galio for another 10 drachma. We then found a sack of eq on the stone prophet, who transformed into another much larger mob. One quest item was found and a sack full of medium eq. The area is well put together, grats to Rub. Ill try to work on my patience in these large groups. Its quite hard to lead so many people with all the spam. I apologize for being short with anyone, we all did a great job.

Big thanks to all the imms and mortals involved.
Rub for making and running the area.
Clink for helping on vk.
Firebrand for tanking.
Truth for figuring out Brandor.
Firon for keeping it together for me

My report on things

As was mentioned, Juggleblood held his opener today for Kingdom of Salamis.

It started out on Valkyre with Demogorgon attacking Newbatia, Mayor Galio of Bal Harbour being abducted and Osama himself making threats. Demogorgon was eventually dispatched by an intrepid group of valkers with the help of Colonel "I know nuthink!" Clink to be the meatshield of the group.

Looted from the corpse of Demo were some gold bars of Dwarvish make. Off we went to Settlestone to see if we could find out where the gold came from to hire Demo to attack Newbatia!

Once there, several fruitless forays were made by the group floundering about SS looking for the mayor. Truth made her way to King Brandor in Dwarven Mountain and discovered that he had something to say to the group. It turns out that thieves had snuck by his vault guardian and looted the gold that was used to pay Demogorgon to do his dirty deed. In return for giving the gold back to him, King Brandor offered the services of one of his dwarvish scouts to track down the brigands who stole it.

The dwarf in question is Chopak (located 8s6w3s2es of well) who resides in the SS Monk Guild that is part of Dwarven Mountain. In return for a large sum of money (greatly decreased now that quest is over) he showed us to the Kingdom of Salamis!

Once there we wandered about a bit trying to figure out how to get to Osama and free Mayor Galio. Eventually we made our way there past lascivious camels, unruly mobs and even martyrs-in-training who blew us up!

We eventually killed Osama, Al'Zuwahiri, freed Galio to save the day. Then with some hints we found our way to the big mob, Iblis, which was dispatched and swag was received.

Big thanks to Juggleblood and Clink for running opener, Marvel and Isaiah for leading us unruly punks and everyone who came and went during the quest to help out!

-1.5ac helm! wow

[Yinao]

I must say that this is the first time that i was involved in such quest that had very marginous obsticals to go through at first when everyone died at demogorgon within a few rounds i was quick to say "the hell with this it isnt gunna happen." there for:

Juggleblood tells you 'why aren't you helping.'

You tell Juggleblood 'my newbie is useless he can't dispel he is only level 11 warrior and 2 thief'

Juggleblood tells you 'chop'

You tell Juggleblood 'no chance to chop we all went down in the first few rounds without a chance'

Come to find out the first run we tested was without the ether scrolls we were load for the quest in its self. So i say sure i will go back and give it another shot first time it wasnt successful so i said well hell here we go again then Clinkster came along and help us veng back our deaths and take the mighty demogorgon. that part being over we found ourselves having to go to ss for more of the questing opportunities.

You grouptell: 'great so now we can use our tard?'

Juggleblood -- 'bring who you'd like'

From there on i decided that well you know what i will use my tard put forth my effort see what we cant accomplish finding Galio was the fun part sure we died but we were restored when a bomb dispatched our entire group which was beyond interesting it rocked. Osama is dead! R.I.P
well woot we get our drachma get a few more deaths corpse's etc. fun fun well time to go for me i gotta go play a basketball game. And come to find out i get back there is more to the quest! Well for as much as i participated i would like to thank the leaders for allowing me to join up and put forth my efforts in whatever way i could even though i may have been a pain part of the time tryin to figure stuff out. I would like to thank Rub for workin on the quest it was very fun and interesting just a shame i didnt get to the end and get that -1.5 helm but i still got 10 drachma and enjoyed it whomever got that badass helm charish that badass thing

Thanks again all who were involved and getting it kicked off.
