[EM Event] Thieves!

January 30, 2012 By: Frarc Category: Drachenfels News

Thieves!

 

Lady Mesanna had planned a special stealing event for us.

She had hidden thirty-seven items around the lands for thieves to be found.

They all had a special name and all together these items would reveal a theme.

So even if you had no thieving skills you would be able to get a reward if you could discover the theme.

Many of us gathered at the counselors hall waiting in anticipation on Mesanna and Borbarad .

But then to our own and Mesanna’s surprise all the items where already been found and stolen even before the actual event would start.

Apparently some cheating and sneaky thieves could not follow the rules like most of us do and when ahead to find the items.

There was great disappointment that this event would be over even before it got started.

After some discussion Mesanna went to get all the items back and lined them up behind the counselors hall.

We still could have a look at them and guess for the theme.

It took a while for us to guess the theme but eventually we discovered it.

20.000 Leagues under the sea!

To our great pleasure Mesanna decided to hide the items again.

This time it would be all hidden in Dungeons.

She locked us all up in the counselors hall so no one of us could leave while she started to hide the items again.

When she was done EM Borbarad would open a gate to release us all.

After some time Mesanna gave Borbarad the signal to release us all.

Everyone ran as fast as they could to all the dungeons looking for the treasure.

And even with a bit of a bumpy start many people where happy they still had a chance to get there hands on a lovely item!

Personal note:

We would like to thank Mesanna to try to make a wonderful event for us and even if it not all went to plan most of us appreciate all the work you did for us.

We know that some people are greedy and rude but i can assure you that many people of Drachenfels are not like that.

It is too bad that a few bad apples can ruin it for many good people.

I hope what happened won’t discourage you for doing more of these events, many of us do like what you and the EM’s do for us.

[EM Event] Completed!

January 09, 2012 By: Frarc Category: Drachenfels News

Completed!

Elesil had left a message to come all together in the throne room to reclaim the last part of Lord Blackthorns armor.

Many where waiting for her but we got surprised of someone’s return!!

Professor Grimm seemed to be fully recovered from the murder attempt on his life by the Dark Angel.

The cure had work and the professor was back on his feet to help us to get the final part of Lord Blackthorns armor.

Grimm thanked first all the visitors and the presents that came to his sickbed.

He explained that Elesil would not join us this evening that she had other tasks to do and that these dwarfs that been mentioned where more his domain of expertise.

Grimm Explained that dwarfs where a common sight in their heydays.

But that they where where a gold greedy creature and that the different tribes started struggling for mining rights.

And that the race basically self extinguished in the course of these wars.

Grimm was able to locate the tribe that Lord Blackthorn tasked to mine the rare metals.

The chronics identifying their location in the vicinity of the Minoc mines.

Then the professor opened a gate so we could search for the entrance of the dwarf mine.

With so many people it took not very long to discover a strange door in one of the mines.

A magical sealed door.

But the professor had the knowledge to open the passage to the secret dwarf mine.

When we arrived we had to deal with some ore elementals first.

Then some dwarfs came from all sides.

The where not happy with us invading there precious mine!

And even we outnumbered these dwarfs it looked a lot we could barely scratch them!

Many people fell in this battle and it look like we would not be able to win this fight.

Even when all the mages casted many Energy Vortexes these dwarfs looked unbeatable.

Maybe something in these mines made them invulnerable for our weapons and spells.

Professor Grimm had a idea to take this fight to another place.

Maybe then we would have a chance against them.

He opened a gate to a different place, we all went trough the gate and these crazy little dwarfs followed us trough it.

The mines influence of the dwarfs was gone and finally we started to get the upper-hand!

It was still a long and hard battle against them.

For a ancient race they had a lot of fighting spirit.

The there King joined the fight and he had some wicked powers to fight against us!

We are used to fight long and hard battles but the dwarfs and the King where eventually defeated.

After checking the Kings corpse professor Grimm found the last part of Lord Blackthorns armor.

Grimm thanked us all for our help for all the battles we went trough to get all the items back from Blackthorns armor.

We all went back home after a long evening.

Special thanks go to all the Hero’s of Drachenfels who helped to return all pieces of the stolen armor.

And for all who want ,they can see the complete set in his full glory in the EM Museum.

Before we left Borbarad made sure that everyone understood the rules and that everyone was..well…with no clothes on! There was one exception on the jewelry for the nocturne earrings. They don’t give any extra benefit from them besides a bit of light. And Borbarad was very sure we all would see things a lot more grey after a while.

It was time to get ready for the run.

Click the image to open in full size.

After the first gate we found ourself at the entrance of Britain sewers. From here on it was running from one moongate to the next. All gates where always on the same level.

The first we ran all together in the sewers but soon enough we where scattered.

On wards to Despise!

Somewhere on the road there where several checkpoints with three books. If you found all three you would get :

Lang Leve Drachenfels (Long Life Drachenfels)

We had a chance to see the world in colors again but that did not last long!

We ran trough familiar places.

After the event we went back to the counselors hall. We could ask a few question to Borbarad. And i wondered if we would see the Christmas fairy again. Normally she would not come anymore but because many of us missed her appearance she came on more last time .

She gave us all a nice looking folded dragon.

It was a wonderful evening and many enjoyed this Dungeon run event.

Claire Repaire even wrote her own little report on it cause she thought i was not there.

Here is her report how she wrote it:

 UOB English Forum

a brief report:

…since Frarc was not there (was he? or any Frarc- alts i don´t know? Click the image to open in full size. )

just a brief report for the archives:

EM Borb sent a group of about 20 naked contestants through the gates of hell, namely:
Brit Sewers, Despise, Ice, Fire and some hidden EM places never seen before as well as the famous EMs Shipyard.
The goal was to find the gates to the next levels and three books and their names. The books were:
Lang Lebe Drachenfels
The two winners were awarded by a sash named “Dungeon Master Champion” and “Ghastly Dungeon Master”.

All the other participants got a “Dungeon Master” sash which was appreciated very much. Click the image to open in full size.

All in all this was a nice event and a perfect example of how to deliver a perfect “effort vs. reward” event for everyone.

Big Phun!

Merry Christmas Drachenfels!

Rumors where that Santa Claus would visits us at the Christmas tree in Luna.

Only a few moments before his expected arrival a loud HO HO HO was heard all around the world.

Several people where already gathered around the Christmas tree when Santa Claus arrived with his reindeer’s.

Santa was very pleased to see the beautiful decorated tree.

Santa took out his book to check on the good and naughty people of this year.

But Santa was in his jolly mood and brought gifts for everyone.

He checked the names on his list and called them to him one by one.

He gave him a small bag of gifts and wished them all happy holidays.

News spread that Santa was in town and more and more came to see him in Luna.

There where so many people that a long line where waiting in front of him to get a gift and get his best wishes.

It seems that everyone was very happy with what the good old man brought for them.

After a hour Santa ran out of gifts and it was time for him to go back to his home.

Before he took off he said to me he was happy to see so many good people on Drachenfels and that he hoped they like this year bag with presents.

He said that he wanted to thanks his three special elfs , Bochel, N’cat and Ariye, for all there hard work to make these gifts.

He could not have this done it all in time without there help.

Before he left he only had one more thing to say:

Merry Christmas Everyone And To All A Good Night!

The Christmas Pixie!

Original post by Kelly O’Brian:

UOB English Drachenfels Forum

While the giant turkeys left for warmer areas, the Weihnachtsfee (Christmas Pixie) together with Santa visited the WBB on Trammel yesterday evening!
She invited us to speak to Santa. Santa decided then, whether we did well or not this year and handed out a Christmas Dragon or a Coal Fired Christmas Dragon Hand both folded by EM Borbarad!
Another pixie arrived and animated the Weihnachtsfee to follow her to the cosy heated home. But they rested for a little longer.
Than the Weihnachtsfee announced, that they will be around unexpectedly in the next few days and left the scene. Later they have be seen at the large Christmas tree in Luna..

Keep your eyes open!
