Shrine of Sobriety, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – January 17, 2013 – by Ashlynn – There was plenty of activity on the second day of the celebrations with events in Guardian’s Gate, the Shrine of Sobriety, and even an investigative trek across Ilshenar and Trinsic.
The Mycologist’s Delights
The night began with an event held by Lazulli called The Mycologist’s Delights. Attendants quickly learned of their goal – I had left a book on a table in the middle of the shrine with nine clues inside. Each clue hinted at a location where a box containing a mushroom sample could be found. For each sample returned, participants could pick a random prize from one of the nearby boxes.
It appeared some of the clues were a little ambiguous but the participants managed to solve five of them before their time was up – Nanoc solved two, Phoenix solved two, and Axe solved one.
The book can still be found in the shrine for those who wish to make an attempt to figure them out.
Hot on the Trail
A call to arms was then issued for volunteers to aid in the search for the Assassin. After being given a summary of past events at the Office of the Commander in the City of Britain, we headed back to the Gypsy Camp in Ilshenar where we had found our previous lead.
Our investigation then took us to the Keg and Anchor in Trinsic where we questioned the staff, and then on to the ruins of Paws where we eventually found Vulcan’s Emissary. The emissary informed us that we would need powerful magic to breach her hideout and without the aid of Balandar or the like, it would take some time – about a week.
With nothing else for the guard to do, we were dismissed and many of us headed to Guardian’s Gate for an evening of bovine excitement.
Cow Tipping in Guardian’s Gate
The fine folk of Guardian’s Gate helped us celebrate the anniversary by holding a Cow Tipping Contest. Everyone was invited to participate (even goblins!). The format was double elimination with prizes for the three top places. There were plenty of amusing moments from the crowd and everyone seemed to have fun.
Unfortunately, a GOBLIN managed to steal first place. I believe some trickery is at work and a formal complaint to the SCC (Sosarian Cow-tipping Committee) is being considered.
The final results were as follows:
- 5th Place – Phoenix
- 4th Place – Winmere
- 3rd Place – Mirie d’Angel
- 2nd Place – Sluggy
- 1st Place – Ozog
Join us tonight for yet more fun from the anniversary celebrations! Events begin at 7pm EST at the Tea House!
