Spooky times are on the rise again. Once a noble lords house, now corruption has taken over the place. Sir Gregor Manthore was once a respected noble of Umbra among his peers. Then one day he purchased some mysterious black rocks from a traveling merchant. Upon bringing these rocks home strange things started to occur. What once was a peaceful house now started to become a home of constant arguments and ill will towards Gregor and his spouse. Gregor started delving into the dark arts and was rumored to run experiments on living subjects. After numerous towns people started disappearing the rumors drove the townsfolk to the doors of Gregor's home. When arriving they found his family murdered inside the main halls. As they continued on to search for Gregor he made his escape through a dimensional portal, leaving behind a virtual maze in the home.
The Order of the Dragon is glad to introduce the OD Haunted House Maze. Think you have what it takes to solve the maze left behind by Gregor Manthore? There are many twists and turns and only the strong of mind will succeed. Do you have the nerves to brave the haunted halls of an ancient house. Then we have the house for you. For you old school pen and paper RPG'ers it may be time to break out the graph paper and a pencil as you wander through the maze.
This event will last through the month of October, possibly longer due to interest, late start and if people are still trying to actively figure out the maze. This maze is not meant to be a quick and easy solution. Only one prize will be awarded per account (remember only one account per player is allowed on the shard), so it is one prize per real life person.
Again the maze is not meant to be a quick solve, I wanted it to be a challenge. Last years contestants spent many an hour solving the puzzle, I would expect 2+ hours. When finishing you should feel very proud of your work. To get to the end you will need to work through many twists and turns. You have to fall down in order to get back up. The journey will be long, you are sure stumble near the end, but if you can continue on and ignore the pain in your final steps you will make it to your goal!
To reach the event house take the Umbra Portal and head of town on the road West. When you see the gargoyl "Maze Mimsy Statue" you have reached your destination. Runes will also be available on Susan O'Toole in the NW tent in Arete vendor area. If you reach the roof talk to Sigmund and he will give you a token to turn in to Telchar or Landcaster for reward.
A special thank you to Amairgen for the yard deco, trophies and NPC at the top. Appolon for blood tiles. Defiance for gravestones and lastly but most importantly Yhaguen for the majority of prizes for this years prize pool and for yanking me back to run this again.
Now to what you all have been waiting for the prize list. Upon completion of the maze contact me, Telchar aka Landcaster, or Yhaguen and turn in your maze completion token. Upon turn in you will be allowed to choose one of the following rewards. Some rewards are on a first come first serve basis and I will try to update list as they are not available.
