Any chance those of us that were in phase 2 can receive RPAs? Some of us bangged on that meteor for 20+ hours over the course of the event stepping out at just the wrong times.

In classic Gemstone fashion, Plat's event got interesting...where there was an NPC, some interaction and dialogue...and a choice to be delivered.

Then someone attacked the NPC mid-explanation and another person kept bashing the core before we could find out more and so poof lol

Still...trying to give us an option is much appreciated :)

The story is now in the final phase.

Wyrom, PM

I'm looking forward to a reveal at the end of this of the other ending finale options, specifically if we had done nothing!

Edited for essential information only. I think I got most of it, but there were 650 pages of scroll to sort through:

[Inside the Meteor, Core]
Within the center of meteor is a glowing crystal core that spins wildly in a circular path. Littering the rocky interior are numerous glaes spider charms, each cracked open exposing a hollow cavity. Carved overhead are the words, "The Journey Home." A narrow opening leads outside the meteor. You also see the translucent Cabal disk, the Orlix disk, a war hammer, the Arcon disk, a tiny bright-eyed calico kitten, a bright-eyed darkly clouded kitten with elongated tufty ears wearing a spiked veil iron collar, the Nuadjha disk, the Cogon disk, the Neovik disk, the sparkling Alastir disk, the Jimseveie disk, the Kalivar disk, the sparkling Radegun disk, a speckled brown frog, a rascally mountain spirit that is flying around, a rock ptarmigan, a mischievous golden brown fox, a dusky vaporous spirit that is flying around, a silver-ruffed charcoal black cat and a smoldering fire wyrdling.
Also here: Serrion, Faent, Cabal, Orlix, Great Lord Arcon, Lord Leigo, Cromir, Sorrenn, High Lord Shinanigans, Radegun, Grand Lord Vrannar, Doghan, Hollvijk, Lady Jimseveie, Relic Hunter Silversoft, Xannorath, Dionket, Cogon, High Lord Layndon, Claudaro, Kalivar, Neovik, Lord Heartfire, Tziporah, Mairanu, Alastir who is lying down, Fulmen, Ibbo who is lying down, Ondreian, Tsin, Shallimar, Siierra, Rhayveign, the body of Ragz who is lying down, Nuadjha (me)
Obvious exits: out

Fulmen exclaims, "Me moder always said I'd be achievin' me dreams o' minin' in thae stars!"

Mairanu asks, "So, what's this about "the journey home"?"

The floor itself begins to sunder, knocking everyone down.
You are tossed about violently.
Roundtime: 15 sec.

A spirit drifts in.

A forlorn spirit says, "Fellow adventurers."

You exclaim, "Hold your attacks!"

Speaking quietly to a dusky vaporous spirit, Kasparaitis says, "Hello, spirit."

You say, "Fair light of ... the meteor, spirit."

A forlorn spirit says, "This rock is from your world."

Ragz says, "For what purpose."

Arcon says, "Greetings spirit."

Cromir glances at a forlorn spirit.

Arcon bows to a forlorn spirit.

Speaking to a dusky vaporous spirit, you say, "The glaes does make one wonder."

Tsin says, "We don't want it back, you can keep it."

A forlorn spirit gestures to the glaes spider charms on the floor.

You ask, "But why is it here, and how?"

Mairanu says, "I wondered about "the journey home"."

You say, "Aye, we recognize those ancient charms."

You say, "And the language is Common."

Shallimar deeply asks, "Yea... wut about tha spiders?"

A forlorn spirit says, "These spider charms were created here."

Ragz says, "What spider charms."

Speaking to Ragz, Naamit says, "The ones that rained down upon the lands twenty years ago."

Mairanu says, "They all look broken."

You say, "Aye, they look as if something was torn out of them."

A forlorn spirit says, "This meteor is a segment that doesn't belong to this time, but is from your world."

Shallimar deeply says, "They hatched prolly."

Claudaro asks, "I wonder if the cocoon's we found were from the charms then?"

You ask, "Is it from the past or the future, then?"

A forlorn spirit says, "Twenty years go, those spider charms were delivered to your people."

A forlorn spirit says, "But I am more than 10,000 years old now."

Shallimar deeply says, "Ah members."

Aurach nods slowly.

Silversoft exclaims, "I remember!!"

Jemiquist says, "A time of great rejoicing."

You say, "Ahh..."

A forlorn spirit says, "Fraen Wasstont."

A forlorn spirit says, "Please...release me."

Heartfire swings a morbidly black craquemarte at a forlorn spirit!
AS: +580 vs DS: +137 with AvD: +31 + d100 roll: +65 = +539
... and hits for 166 points of damage!
Strong hit to the chest!
Tendrils of mist explode as the strike passes right through.

Necrotic energy from Heartfire's black craquemarte flares up momentarily!

Heartfire appears to gain succour from the unnatural energy!

Surprisingly, Heartfire manages to effortlessly reverse his momentum and strike again!

Heartfire swings a morbidly black craquemarte at a forlorn spirit!
AS: +595 vs DS: +132 with AvD: +31 + d100 roll: +69 = +563
... and hits for 147 points of damage!
Hard strike shatters arm into vapor.
The arm reforms before your eyes!
The forlorn spirit falls to the ground motionless.

You ask, "Fraen Wasstont ... that is ... your name?"

Ragz searches a forlorn spirit.
A forlorn spirit is cut short in mid-wail, sent back to the ethereal plane where it belongs!

Naamit blinks at Heartfire.

Ragz says, "Rude."

Heartfire quietly says, "It said release me."

Arcon says, "Hm well there goes our answers."

Aurach quietly says, "Nothing like hearing him out...."

Cromir exclaims, "He asked for it!"

Aurach quietly says, "Yes, but nothing like learning from a being like that for a few moments."

Arcon says, "Imagine what we could have learned from a 10,000 year old being."

Kalivar darkly says, "Yup, that ended exactly as i imagined it would."

Aurach quietly says, "Children of Elanthia, I shall never cease to be amazed."

You say, "That was rather hasty, but it does seem to be what he wanted."

Layndon traces a sign that contorts in the air while he forcefully incants a dark invocation...
A glowing crystal core that spins wildly in a circular path becomes a bit unsubstantial, and a shrill noise pierces the air as pieces of it simply disappear into nothingness!
The crystal core shatters completely as it collapses into nothing!


[Inside the Meteor, Core]
Within the center of meteor is a ruined crystal core. Littering the rocky interior are numerous glaes spider charms, each cracked open exposing a hollow cavity.

Obvious exits: out

You say, "And it's done."

The meteor begins to fall apart!

The floor itself begins to sunder, knocking everyone down.
You are tossed about violently.

Ulfrek quietly says, "With us inside it."

The meteor's exterior bursts open!

You exclaim, "The exterior has burst!"

Deckits says, "We're going.. to... fallll."

Heartfire whispers, "Was I wrong then, I reckon?"

You quietly whisper to Heartfire, "We'll find out!"

Mairanu says, "Well, this will be exciting."

Sorrenn asks, "So the world is saved?"

Mairanu says, "From this, anyway."

The floor itself begins to sunder, knocking everyone down.
You lose your footing and fall down.
Roundtime: 15 sec.

Hammibal says, "A world that Heartfire has saved is a world I don't want to live in."

Ragz says, "Who haunts a meteor anyway."

Shinanigans says, "Saved? Hardly."

The flooring breaks apart!

You see sunlight under you.

You say, "Well, curiosity may kill us all if we don't leave before this thing falls out of the sky."

[Sylvarraend Road]
The farmhouses and fields are closer together here as the road nears the village of Sylvarraend. One of the farmers has left a plow nearby, apparently in preparation to till one of the fields for a new crop.

Siierra falls from the sky!

Heartfire quietly asks, "We did it?"

You say, "Well, the last part was true."

The meteor in the sky falls apart! Bits of glaes fall to the ground.

You say, "Well ... now we should be wary of things that might have fallen from the meteor."

You say, "Time, perhaps, to go and scout the lands."

You say, "And for someone to travel to Aenatumgana and report back to us."

You inhale deeply upon your pipe, puckering your lips as you send out three rings of smoke before you, then puff out a small vine of smoke that darts right through all three which causes them to disperse in a hazy shroud!

<<I typically leave options available when I do things. It was a bit of a rail ride for the intro, as I wanted to get through some basics and not play guess the questions. For the most part, the room description, the spirit, and some of the comments were all you really needed. But there were multiple ways to end this.

Multiple ways to end it! But alas, my suggestion of L'Naere being seen riding in on the meteor like a wrecking ball was not taken into consideration. And I was even hoping we could get some artwork for it!

Clearly, we did not get L'Naere..but we did have ..uh. Melivn?

yells out , "I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL!!!")

..I laughed so hard..so hard.

Okay, hold up, I'm confused about something. Did the people who were present at the time the meteor exploded get these charms? If so, that stinks that the meteor exploded at 11 AM on a Tuesday. All the people that put, 10,20,30 hours of bashing the thing, but can only play in prime time didn't get a charm just because they weren't able to play when it exploded?

I hope I'm just misunderstanding, and you are talking about charms from a long time ago or something. I can't tell if my reading comprehension is failing or what.

I wasn't there but sounds like the broken charms were props harking back to 20 years ago and IG explaining those earlier gifts.

He posted the new prize will be later this week, or when Plat finished (which they now have), in this final phase. He earlier posted it would be for everyone to pickup over a few days, even those that did not contribute. I assume they will be at the crash site once it is enabled or found (if the current one is just a clue).

Thanks for posting the log for the finale-finale, Nuadjha!

Glad the general-we were able to break through and figure out what was inside; sad I wasn't able to actually be there when it happened (7:45am Pacific Time, I was still asleep!), and looking forward to seeing what the general-we are going to get as reward(s)!

Also looking forward to seeing what the different sort of outcomes the two phases had, too!

Earlier I had tried to use the "mount" verb on the meteor, but it said there were no horses.

But I was thinking of Dr. Strangelove rather than Miley Cyrus.

<Allow the meteor to crash into Elanthia and wipe out an area (not a town, sorry).>

Was the area determined? :D

Break, smash, destroy!!

Hmm, not as big as a town, and zero impact on gameplay excludes a hunting ground or area.

I'd think it would still hit the Pinefar/Aenatumgana area as it was directly above it. I can't think of any expendable rooms, in which creatures don't spawn, on there!

Unless you mean minimal impact to gameplay/creature spawnable rooms. Hint?

> <Allow the meteor to crash into Elanthia and wipe out an area (not a town, sorry).>

Aw man. A few of us were colluding on how to steer it toward various points of interest in the Elven Nations. Imagine what could have been. For shame!

At least one piece landed at the Top of the World.
Clunk was up investigating yesterday.

>I would have liked to hear what the crystal had to say.

I think after 3 days of repeatedly casting/attacking/bashing the meteor, a peaceful resolution was pretty much impossible.

Well yeah, I could have stalled it. But there was a healthy group there. Tons of events and storylines happen at night, so it was probably refreshing for all our morning players.
