[sx4rlet]

Here are the riddles of the event:

The intro, done by Old Pegleg:

------------------------

Hello matie!

You interested in a story ?
For a beer ill me tell ye about thar glory
Wen ol cap Wormbreath been fighting for long
he heed the call of his heart's song

he knew what to find, his heart were no longer blind
But where to see, for someone letting his feelings free
everywhere to look, now thar be a hook
you see, one cannot on all places at the same be

Ol'cap Worm were smart, on how to find the one of his heart
By the waving of gold, some manhour were sold
Bad in language and bad in talk
some stappling, some hardly straight walk

When ol Wormbreath were to ask, they quickly accepted the task
"For some of me gold, find me tha lass me heart fortold"
Whats in it for me ye wonder, Me tell ye one word, plunder
They did find, these awful mass, Ol Caps lass

Away she taken, his bride to bee
Shall she be rescued by thee ?
As wise men tend to bee, me give tis advice to yee

Whenever there darkness be, togheter with Evo you will be free
What is lost is yet to be found, we are friends together with this bound
When misery is near, we come to fend off the fear
We will smile and lend you a hand, together we will walk this Tryker land

------------------------

the riddles to the spot where the pirates where:
(the sailing instructions)

------------------------


Spot 1 :
If ye move up to the north, on a small isle near the land short
in the mountains ye will see, through a hole a place be
Tharr in the sand, a man with a riddle stand.

Spot 2 :
Me tell ye no fables, at least 1200m from stables
raise the sails and sail away, be off east to blackwater bay
through water we go, keel heading its flow
wind in tha sails, maties we cannot fail

Spot 3 :
South ye go, by waters that flow
vast ye huntin, to find a man close to the mountain
take no halt, go throught the stone vault
raise yer voice loud, answer him proud

Spot 4 :
There be a man in a small passage you see
standing, watching, gleering lury
and he cannot flee, no way there be
from some friends of the fury

Spot 5 :
When ye the man o fury seen, my path further north should've been.
Under the tall, where waters fall
Take a step , take ye three, there a riddeling man should be

Spot 6 :
Set yer sails westnorthwest, there this giant treebeast has its nest
Thee might be handy, tis be close ol Sandy
Heed me calls, me must shout for there water falls
There he stands, holdin' pistongs in his hands

Spot 7 :
Ye come tis far, ye shall look for old root's, harr harr
Close to a space, where yee to Bounty flee
Closer to Corsairs, but still not free
No near coast, stand tis man on his post

Spot 8 :
Ye walked far, solving riddles hast tharr
Now ye be close, looking for tha to be spouse
me cannot let ye enter tis path
to stop ye i hath, even if tharr be a bloodbath
take yer aim, feel ne blame
hear the lassy shout, someone covering her mouth
This path be yer free, if ye get past me

------------------------

and the letter riddles:
(we skipped one 'O' so we could give it away for free...)

------------------------

D.
Tell me this letter, may it be forth in a row
Starting a name, known to hide the foe.
If put in the end, there will be no luck.
Make it in the start, youre a lucky buck
If yer answer be the right, leave without a fight.

A.
Scaveninging Bushwacklers, yarr be here !
Search a sign, releaseing thar fear.
Looking for a letter, that in a word is set.
And thas needs to be done for tha word to get.
Tell me then , if yarr take 1 away from 2
Where 2 be the second and first be the 1
Solving this riddle will tease yer fun !

R.
Arr ye ready for a riddle my friend
This might not be placed near thar end.
A letter second in bRave, for rescue from a cave.

Thanks for the praise Andreaw, but I coudnt have done it without the rest of my guild. (Drakfot made all the riddles, Rikka & Jeannie all the armors, Crythos all the guns, and me and the rest 'just' made alts for the event.)

lol the directions riddles remind me of those annoying guys in the firts level of Black & White who make you help them build a boat....

Fantastic work Evo. I really enjoyed myself. J has already pointed out the frustrating bits. But the RP was most fantastic of all. Good work by all.

Maybe a bit a delayed reaction, but the RP'ing I did with Wormbreath was not really prepared. tbh, Worm and me were just, well, standing in that cave while youlot was running around the LakeLands to find some pirates and we were a bit bored.

Now Worm started to make some comments in Region, and who am I to be the one that is silent?

I got the feeling we sorta lost ourselves a bit at a certain point. Actually the not so happy couple was having loads of fun, just by typing some and having an audiance to entertain. For the next event I will try to enjoy myself to this level again, as it seems impossible to top it

We have some screenies, need to post them in the gallery but will post a link here when that is done.
