I'm gonna be inactive for a long while from 10th of september onward, because I'll study in England for half a year.
This is my way of going out with a bang :p

Riddles - RolePlay - Traps - Treasure - Parkour

Challenges - Cake - Dungeon - Lore Item Loot

"As long as you do not see through me, I am solid.
As soon as you see through me, I am solved."


I'd like to invite you to join me on a challenge.
I cannot be as active as before, so I've found a new way to host events:
This event is based as much online in game as it is offline on the forums.
It will all climax in a big dungeon-like challenge online!
Every now and then, I'll release a riddle or rhyme in this thread.
Solve the riddles, and you'll know what to expect from this event.
You are free to discuss the riddles with each other in the comments.
If you want to investigate about this event IC, seek out Captain Squidbeard.


I'll start by giving you an indication of the classification and combat challenges of this event.
"There be dragons, he said.
There be beasts and undead!
Glory for the victor, and treasure too!
I can assure you!"
She was convinced, she finally followed him inside the house.
Yet, there were no dragons there, not even a mouse.
There were treasures though, more than a man could need.
And thus, the man became a monster, corrupted by his greed.
The only danger she had to face,
was the man in whom her trust was placed.

Be wary, dear adventurer, who is with you on your quest.
For your allies might be the only ones you'll have to best!


(more details will follow once I hear back from staff :) )

DETAILS:
  • TIME AND DATE: 8th of september, 22:00h BST / 3pm EST
  • To sign up for this event, leave a comment saying: "Your riddles are not gonna get me rekt."
  • It is a big quest and will take possibly 2 - 3 hours to complete. Take this into account.
  • important message: Be sure to read it entirely.
    You all have permissions to build/destroy and use levers/buttons/pressure-plates etc. YET! You may not use these permissions.
    You may not interact with ANY block, lever or button, unless you're part of the 'tinker crew'. This is to ensure this event won't break out into chaos and so that traps will not go off during or before people have entered the room O_0 If you wanna be the one who's flicking levers (and thus also have the risk of activating a trap on yourself), sign up by adding the following to your sign up comment: "No risk, no fun".
  • For those with shaders while playing: Bring a torch for awesome experience.
  • For those without shaders: Put your brightness to 'moody'
  • During the event it is very important to study the details, as you might need that info later on to succeed!
  • 1st hint:
    Torches, Water, Sacrifices, Food, and Lockpicks
  • 2nd hint:
    If you rush you die
    Be prepared for traps
    Study and you will survive
    Know that everything has meaning inside
  • 3rd hint:
    One man's greed could have negative consequences for those around him

The first hint, feel free to discuss but try to use /spoilers when giving the solution :)
All hints are also put on signs at the thieves' den on the grounds of time in game.

What do you bring to the event and what do you not bring?

First hint for the first riddle: Boris will not be bringing the item.

/spoiler, possibly? Not a solution but dunno if it should be spoiler or not.

Is this a Green Glass Doors type thing?

I had to look that up to know what it is, but yes, it is a similar kind of riddle but not quite the same ;)

Would it not be better to have us PM you the solution?

You can put it here in a /spoiler and if people want to give a solution they can put it in a /spoiler as well without looking at your solution :p

Update Y'all, tell me if you can't make it and I'll see if I can switch times. I'm afraid I can't change it to a more suitable day like a weekend :( Unless I postpone it for a month or so
