Jubaris Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) weird that there will soon be two maze-based quests, kinda fitting for the anniversary of MD labyrinth. after of months of delaying, it's finally here! yey! Me and Marvolo made a quest, thanks to Cutler's marvelous coding and our blessed support of Lorerootian king with sponsorship (no privileges for LRians, don't worry ), it's here. rewards: first 3 winners get a WP, first winner gets cannonized in the story in "few stories" topic that I made some time ago. If I discover sharing info, or cheating in any way, that person(s) will not be able to participate in any event that's related to me as simple as that Ash Arc clickable, pay attention to the text, make a screenshot at the last part and post it to me via forum PM (you will see it in instructions at the end, dont worry), good luck ladies and gentlemen and have fun! I tend to try our quests to be as uniquer as possible... so... please share your thoughts after you're done with the story goes that strange things were happening in the woods at Ravenhold... and the mystery attracted visitors (yea, it starts as ash arc clickable, but ignore that detail ) take a look if you dare edit: oh one more thing, I won't be giving any hints or advices, you're on your own Edited March 13, 2010 by Rhaegar Targaryen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) It seems a very original and intriguing quest. I like it so far but I shall be able to tell more once it is over. Too bad I have no chance on this quest due to so much bug issues. I really liked it but I've lost too much precious time because of this stupid Bug and I think by the time I'll move on to the next step everybody would have finished it already I hope I can get a chance of seeing the entire quest once it is done so i can tell you my opinion of it Edited March 17, 2010 by Master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 since none have decoded the picture (third puzzle), there will most likely be made an alternate puzzle, one week from now. So if no one manages to solve it till that point, it will be replaced. Good luck DarkElfMage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adiomino Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 are you talking about the scrambled picture? haha i've already done that but haven't taken a screenshot do i need to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 no, no he's not lol, it's a bit further along that he's talking about, the code registers you've completed the puzzle (or from when i completed it, it did anyway) so there shouldnt be any need for a screenie. And whilst i dont know the solution to the picture, i have a feeling that any hint he gives us for it would probably give the answer away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 what Grido said although I can tell you this: the picture has 7 words I messaged Cutler about re-posting the clickie (he probably forgot about that 14 days rule, the quest wasn't supposed to be that long to solve! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutler121 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 [quote name='Rhaegar Targaryen' date='27 March 2010 - 08:21 PM' timestamp='1269721289' post='57023'] what Grido said although I can tell you this: the picture has 7 words I messaged Cutler about re-posting the clickie (he probably forgot about that 14 days rule, the quest wasn't supposed to be that long to solve! ) [/quote] Princ Rhaegar specifically wanted the forest maze to not be part of the astral plane so it is subject to the 2 week script death rule like any normal script. But I just added it as a special case to the astral eternalize script anyway so it won't ever die again. Cheers, Cutler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubaris Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) adjustments: there won't be an alternative puzzle. there are different types of decoding for certain words so I can tell 3 hints. Each hint costs 1 silver. Marvolo will try to stay at sanctuary in MDA lands (librarian part), so he can check the transcations (once you send him the silver, pm him about it) Marvolo will answer your hint questions too. all silvers that are going to be made this way will be in the fund for questmaking, or will be donated to other projects.

Prince Marvolo Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 So, the solution to the last puzzle: (Spoiler tags, for if anyone would want to solve it still...) [spoiler] If you look at the paper, almost horizontal, you see letters. Same if you turn it so you look from the right side. Its tricky, since its pretty messed up. (You could actually see them without tilting it, but it makes it even worse lol) The letters form words, the Words a sentence: "The wolf of the forests of Lore" Here is a (hopefully) usefull picture to see it [IMG]http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/Siemonvdb/LinesandRectanglesEditSolution.jpg[/IMG] [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantasm Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 and to me the paper wasn't as helpful as in the actual quest itself. Since you see marvolo wandering around in wolf form. Add to that the fact before the quest he was in Loreroot waiting for the next full moon it pieced together with a few helpful hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firsanthalas Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Would the winners either contact me directly or send me a PM please. I will be in DQ for most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
