Mini Golems Raid Ayan Baqur
--from the
Turbine Site
- Sept. 9, 2005
A rather large group of Tiny Golems
stampeded their way through Ayan Baqur last night. What started out as
laughter soon turned into screams of terror when the players realized these
cute little creatures meant business.
Below is an excerpt from the chat log that were collected during this raid.
Endar Zael says, "aww those little golems are so cute!"
Small Golem says, "Blood!"
Realm of Darkness says, "save me"
Lodwicke says, "OMG"
Scathe says, "OH MY GOD ILL SAVE YOU GUYS"
Small Golem says, "Blood!"
Scathe says, "DONT MOVE, YOU GOT ONE RIGHT ON YOUR SHOULDER"
Small Golem says, "Blood!"
Scathe says, "DIE
Small Golem says, "Bloo-ACK!"
General Heredia says, "that was hilarious"
Realm of Darkness says, "lmao"
Realm of Darkness says, "debuffing"
Realm of Darkness says, "a tiny golem"
What started off as a group of Tiny Golems soon turned into an all out Golem
war!
Lodwicke says, "MORE"
Lodwicke says, "ATTACK"
General Heredia says, "AHHHHHH"
Lodwicke says, "hold the line"
The thunder of Small Magma Golem crushing Slims new guy is followed by the
deafening silence of death!
Lodwicke suffers a frozen fate at the hands of Sapphire Golem!
The thunder of Sapphire Golem crushing Big bug is followed by the deafening
silence of death!
Big bug says, "got hit for 400+"
The Sapphire Golems were quickly dispatched however that was not the end of
it.
Tiereal's body is shattered by Crystal Golem Imperator's attack!
Endar Zael says, "respawn"
Arcainis says, "holy smokes"
After calling for reinforcements the Defenders of Ayan were able to destroy
the Crystal Golem Imperator and saved the day!
I believe Endar Zael said it best.
Endar Zael says, "the bigger they are the harder they fall!"

Meeting Hall Sewers Back Up
--from the
Turbine Site
- Sept. 9, 2005
Without warning, the sewers in the meeting halls have
been backing up recently. This has been forcing the many creatures that
dwell in them to come out into the halls. What began as a rat or two has
become a full blown problem. The local sentries are in need of your help
in keeping the halls clear of these creatures and safe for all to use.
The first time this happened, the brave "Fit to Fight" came in and
helped clear out this problem. He was rewarded with Dereth's first ever
title of "Sanitation Engineer". He was also rewarded with a few items of
appreciation and of course, the Queen's gratitude.
The cause of this problem has yet to be determined, but know that we are
currently investigating why this is happening and what we can do to stop
the creatures from coming into our meeting halls.
We ask that all residents of Dereth please keep a watchful eye on the
many meeting halls in the towns to make sure they stay clear for all to
use and enjoy.
We would like to thank "The Knight" on the Turbine
Forums for the idea behind this event. If you have an idea for an
upcoming event, please feel free to post it on our forums here. If you
take part in an event and want to submit your own account of what
transpired please feel free to e-mail it to us along with screenshots to

March of the Penguins?
--from the
Turbine Site
- Sept. 14, 2005
Players where surprised today to discover a small colony of penguins near
the Ayan Baqur lifestone. These innocent creatures surely must have lost
there way and somehow ended up in this desert town.
Exhausted and dehydrated the colony of penguins wandered unknowingly into
Ayan. Local players were baffled by the arrival of penguins. What would
these creatures be doing all the way out here? Players pondered this notion
for a moment and then quickly dispatched the tiny birds.
Some where sad to see them die while others thought it best to put them "out
of their misery", and there were even a select few who laughed about killing
these creatures.
Never fear dear reader for their deaths did not go unnoticed.
No sooner did the last bird die when another larger colony of UBER Penguins
appeared over the horizon. The battle that followed was by far one of the
most intense Ayan as seen in years. Who would have thought penguins could be
so... Uber!?

"Kill me if you can!"
Darktide players have been given a rare treat indeed. They finally get
to do something they have wanted to do for YEARS!
Yes folk's players on Darktide will now be able to PK a member of the
Turbine Live Event Staff. At random times a member of the Live Event
Staff will log in and engage these fearsome PK players in battle. Who
will win? Who will rule the day? Who will reign supreme!? Only time will
tell.
So with that said I leave you with these simple words "Kill me if you
can!"
Ask and you shall receive!
Last night, players on Frostfell were given an opportunity to request
creature spawns. There was much shouting for "BZ" however once they
realized that he was not a realistic request they settled on others.
Soon things were in full swing as players cried out for all sorts of
things.

These brave players wanted everything; from cows and
snowmen all the way up to Obliterators and Tremendous Monougas. As soon
as one spawn dropped they were ready for more!

Special thanks to the following players for helping to
make this an enjoyable event;
Kitty Mrrow for her good sportsmanship; she may only be level 37
but she never ran away from the onslaught of creatures.
Uber Penguin slays Kitty Mrrow viciously enough to impart death several
times over!
She walked away with 40% vitae and the new title of "Vitae Vixen!"

A Clockwork Mage who made a simple request that
was gladly granted.
A Clockwork Mage says, "how about spawn something i can kill over near
me...."
He successfully killed the mob of black and brown cows and was given the
new title of "Cow Killer!"
And a HUGE Thank You to Frostfell for making this a very successful
event. I hope you all had as much fun as I did and I can't wait to try
this out on the other worlds.

Galvanic Surge
--from the
Turbine Site
- Sept. 16, 2005
T
he brave warriors of Frostfell were met with an unexpected event
Thursday evening. Unpredictable voltaic energies erupted from the mountains
surrounding the ruins of the Essence of Artifice. As adventurers rushed to
investigate, they were met with a legion of Lightning Elementals, Diamond
Golem Suzerains, Avalanches and Blizzards. What caused this sudden welling
of energy? A massive chunk of Crystalized Galvanic Mana, crackling with
energy, was summoning powerful elemental minions. As adventurers rush in to
cap the flow of energy, a being the likes of which have never been seen
before in Dereth sparked to life before their very eyes – the Galvanic
Knight!
After a long and harrowing battle, Mustafah ibn-Jabair and his
fellow warriors felled the knight. Shortly after the defeat of its
guardians, the Crystalized Galvanic Mana soon shattered and the flow of
energy ceased.
For his efforts in defeating the Galvanic Knight, Mustafah received the
Galvanic Armor! All who participated in the defeat of the knight and the
mana crystal received a large helping of experience.
