When: Cautiously scheduled for August 25th, this may change depending on if something else is going on and where I am and how strong/steady my signal is. Please check back the morning of the 25th to see if I've had to postpone.
Where: While the event will kick off in Windurst Waters, there will be an over-the-pearl call as well.
Summary: While visiting Draenen in Windurst, Aderyn managed to slip out of Draenen’s sight for a moment. After frantically searching, Draenen discovered Aderyn’s vest on a wall in Windurst Waters, by the Opistery, with a note attached to it.
–––––––––––––
Rules: The group will have three hours (time is counted in Nations, and does not include travel time between cities, use of airships, and possible secondary objectives) to uncover Aderyn’s trail. The group needs to stay together as much as possible, as there is potential NPC dialogue and I need to know who’s approaching who so I can trigger it. Teleports and airships are allowed; outposts, Maws, book tabs, and warp/scrolls/items are not allowed UNLESS specified elsewise as events unfold.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO SOLVE THIS! There are two possible ‘paths’ to go – the challenge is to do it before the three-hour timer goes off. If that timer goes off, a new event will trigger.
Regarding AFK’s, please plan accordingly. No leg of this event should exceed an hour, and there are airship rides involved that don't count towards the timer – try to plan AFK’s for then. I am willing to pause the clock for sudden/emergency AFK’s, but be warned: if someone is AFK for more than five minutes after I have paused the clock, I WILL restart the clock and that character will be considered ghosting alongside the group. Meaning, even if we end up having to OOCly leave you behind, ICly you are still there and will be aware of everything that happens in your absence and all you have to do is physically catch back up to the group. Being AFK for five minutes past an airship landing will be treated the same. Randomly wandering off or going AFK without notice will be treated like the character became disinterested and left the group – if this isn’t true, it is the character/player’s responsibility to either re-integrate into the group OR call it an AFK and consider themselves ghosting for the time they were gone.
Also, please make sure that you have the six gate crystals (Mea, Holla, Dem, Vahzl, Yhoator, Altepa) as depending on how clues are interpreted, the group may be utilizing these teleports. Realizing that Abyssea and book-burn parties have changed how people level and which zones are used, I just wanted to bring this up. If anyone needs assistance getting their gate crystals, let me know and I’m willing to help/guide.
"How hard did you hit him?" "Quite hard, actually. For some reason he irritated me." They stared back to where the Grolim lay. "You're getting to be more like Belgarath every day," Silk told him. "You do more damage out of simple irritation than most men can do in a towering rage."
