Grey Council Event Script Overview: The Loures High Council has been assassinated by an unknown party. The exact method of assassination is also open for speculation. Suspicion has fallen on General’s Dealos and Tiberius, the last to see the council alive, as well as the Necromancer Order, Pact of Anaman, Undine Rebels, and Goblin Clans. Players, insight 11 and above, will form groups of 3 to take part in the event. Grey Council is divided into three distinct parts as outlined bellow. Part 1 – Solving the Mystery The groups will investigate the actual assassination. To successfully advance to part 2 they must complete the following tasks: A) Identify the spell/agent/method/etc used to kill the
council Quest Point – Piet Wizard Completing the tasks of this quest point will allow the groups to complete question A. Character background for event host: A) Identifies the spell/agent/method/etc used to kill the council Background (explain to groups approaching): -He was one of the first on the scene after the assassination. Tasks to assign to groups: I) Get 15 bottles of wine OR brandy OR rum (up to hosts discretion to vary between groups) -Explain that he needs the bottles to create a closed pocket of air – a vacuum. II) Get an Anemonde Antenna -Once this is completed explain he will perform a series
of tests and then give the following information. Quest Point – Goblin War Base Camp Completing the tasks of this quest point will allow the groups to complete question B. Character background for event host: B) Incriminate or vindicate Dealos and Tiberius Tasks to assign to groups: I) Get 15 goblin OR kobold’s skull (up to hosts discretion to vary between groups) -Explain that there is no time to answer to stupid questions. If the group wants to talk they had better contribute to the war effort – bringing back the skulls. II) Group is allowed to ask 3 questions -Tell the group you will answer 3 questions. It is up to you how to answer them – though use the bellow information as a guide. The group must then make an incrimination or vindication themselves. -Dealos and Tiberius do not have enough men to end the goblin
war Quest Point – Mehedi Swamp (first area) This is a simple quest point. Once a group enters the area one of the mailer characters will mail them a letter – this represents the “secret note” that the group has “found”. This completes quest C. Part 2 - Politics and Battle Preparations After completion of Part 1 the event branches into four different quest lines – one for each of the four main factions – Loures, Undine Rebels, Necromancer Order, and the Pact of Anaman. Once a group completes all three tasks of Part 1 either of the following conditions will happen. -They will return to Ramanayan at Loures. After this point
the group can choose to continue to support Loures or ally
themselves with the Undine Rebels by either continuing with
the missions Ramanayan assigns or going to the Rebel base
in Undine respectively. Each of the four questlines contains three quests within it. Each of the three quests has three missions within it. One group will complete only one of the three quests.
