really a masterpiece Marelli!

Keep them coming, those scenario's.

(Spiderweb, please make use of these people, they can make content for this game what we so need...)

It was a quiet first day on wednesday with only 2 people completing the scenario, then things started off on thursday with 9 people completing it, and continued on with 17 people completing it on friday, Halloween itself, culminating in a full team of 9 players facing off against an invasion of monsters on Halloween night.



I'm happy that so many people showed interest and that you all enjoyed it. It's great to be able to finally get some fun out of the Ring again! Many of you haven't gotten your rewards for completing the scenario yet, but don't worry, I'll get them to you later (whether you like it or not ).

Even though Halloween is officially over now, I realize many people may not have had a chance to get in yet, so I'll continue to host the scenario throughout this weekend and the next week. For an idea of when, I usually have it on roughly from 1 pm GMT to 1 am GMT, barring other events and the occasional lunch break.

It's really fun, with a creepy environment and the drama of not knowing what (if anything) will come after you when you visit each tent.

You've captured my intention perfectly there Sasi. I think if the tents didn't have the chance of spawning something that will kill you in a blink, it wouldn't be half as exciting.

To anyone still planning to play the scenario in the coming days, a few more hints gleaned from watching people play:

• You don't *have* to reset the scenario after dieing. If you want a second try at whatever got you, you're free to.
• But if you were killed by something you have no chance of fighting, don't forget to reset the scenario before going back in, or you'll just walk that way to die again.
• Also don't forget, the chest has to be opened before you can move on to the next tent. Also if you get a Trick and you manage to defeat it, the chest will still spawn near the tent, and it has to be opened before you can knock on other tents.

Have fun and don't forget to die a few times.

Change of plans: Since I'm too busy this week, I'll host it once more next weekend instead. Same times. The scenario takes about half an hour to complete on average. Anyone still wanting to, then's your chance.

Also note, I only have it shown to Arispotle. If any Leanon or Aniro players are reading this and want to try it, send me a tell that weekend ("/tell Marelli(arispotle)") and I'll invite you individually.

I managed to solo it sometime around the weekends with my poor elemental amp for the most part, having water near by on some of the tents helped. *^.^*

Although I wonder if you rigged that one boss mob from attacking me - it was more or less standing still after I came out of the water... *suspicious*

Nice job on the scenario

You broke my boss mob? >_>

Eheh, it's possible... I don't remember that instance, but I admit I intervened a few times when I saw people have particularly bad luck.

Trick or Treat has since come to an end! Thank you all very much for participating!
In the end a total of 41 people played the scenario through to the finish during the 7 days I had it up, which is much more than I dared hope for. (14 of those people haven't gotten their rewards yet, if you're one of them just poke me whenever. Or I'll hunt you down. Seriously.) I much appreciated everyone's encouraging words too.

To close this off, here are some more screenshots to enjoy for those who missed it. Again, thanks to all participants for making this a succes.
Trick or Treat will be back next Halloween! (Provided we still have a Ryzom Ring then. )
