[EM Event] The Report!
The introductory text to the Scavenger Hunt! I've clipped some of the talk about cookies in Alliance chat... sorry Ayara, but Maryland Big Chunky Cookies are still
delish! And some of the chat which isn't directly related to the quest for ease of following...
[Fynn Barrett]: I will explain the Scavenger Hunt
[Fynn Barrett]: I will open a gate to a location
[Fynn Barrett]: In that area (which I will describe later) I have hidden 8 objects
[Fynn Barrett]: These 8 objects are painted a bright pink colour
[Fynn Barrett]: You have to find these 8 pink items
[Fynn Barrett]: Write their names and the location where you found it down in a book
[Brynhild]: *Mutters: Why pink?*
[Silver Shade]: curses need a book
[Fynn Barrett]: The full name of the item
[Hex]: he has a secret pink fetish
[Fynn Barrett]: And the full name of the location of building it is in
[Brynhild]: *Grins at Hex*
[Fynn Barrett]: Once you've found the items you return here
[Fynn Barrett]: And drop the book in the mailbox
[Silver Shade]: chapel mailbox?
[Fynn Barrett]: Yes, the mailbox next door
[Silver Shade]: how you win?
[Fynn Barrett]: By being the first to return with a complete list
[Fynn Barrett]: I will record the order in which you all return
[Fynn Barrett]: And check the books afterwards
[Silver Shade]: do we get time to buy books before yoyu start?
[Fynn Barrett]: I will hand out some books
We then declared ourselves and for which city... with a surprising amount of people declaring for Trinsic! And a quite a few late comers arrived which, in a truly Olympian style, were rather suspiciously assigned to Britain. Not that anyone we knew came from Britain. Not at all! Once we were all registered, Fynn spawned blank books for everyone;
[Fynn Barrett]: I will open the gate in a second
[Fynn Barrett]: The area you will be searching
[Fynn Barrett]: Is yew!
[Fynn Barrett]: Remember to write down the name of the item
[Fynn Barrett]: FUll name
[Fynn Barrett]: 1And the location or name of the building where you find it
[Alusair]: fun place to search... remind me to use kal vas flam on you later fynn
[11/05/27][20:31:50] [Fynn Barrett]: Go go go !
The gate arrived next to the entrance to Heartwood. Which was lucky for me, as I live in Yew! And recently the EMs place a memorial by Empath Abbey for one of our guild who passed away in November, as that is where the Sosaria Red Cross first met; we gathered there independently to aid The Black Cobra who was resurrecting those who fell defending Yew from the initial Plague of Despair in 2002.
So I knew the area well... but of course, we all proceeded to run into the nearest building and look inside the bookcases and chests! None of the items were inside though; this was the location of the items. Notice us all explaining in the final shot to Hex that he needs glasses, as he couldn't find the one in Empath Abbey!
So what were the final results? Well, for a while I thought I had no clue what they would be, as sitting in the Councillors Hall after completing, Silver Shade terrified us all by talking about a bright pink carpet he had found in Yew, and most of us hadn't seen! But over to Nathan again!
[Fynn Barrett]: Here are the results!
6th place, for 1 points
Goes to.....
Alusair!
And 5th place, for 2 points
Is for Masta Blasta!
Sun got the 4th place and earned 3 points
Ian earned 5 points with his 3rd place
The second place goes to Aron Swordsmaster
He earned 7 points!
And the first place....
FOr 10 points!
Iiiiiiiiiit's!
Zeus!!
How long did it take me to come second? I finished in around 5 minutes I think it was. But as I recalled in, Zeus was already back; I was kind of hoping he was just annoying Nathan, but alas he had done a well deserved lightning location of items. How were we both so quick? Well speaking for myself, you can see above that the Pinco UI marks all the locations with in game names on the map. And I knew it had to be a named location as we needed to declare it in the book hand in. As mentioned too it's my home town and the one I'm declaring for (the villa in a tree behind Empath Abbey in that last shot is mine), so once I twigged they would be all visible in the house, and not hidden in chests, it was a question of simply legging it from marked spot to spot and then typing the results as fast as I could!
