There's an old legend dating back to the founding of Aturi:

As settlers built homes and prepared the land for farming, a basilisk, disturbed by the noise, emerged from its nearby lair. It used its infamous and terrible gaze at the settlers, killing many of them and driving the rest into hiding in a cave in the nearby timberlands.

The situation was dire until one brave lad volunteered to run past the dreadful basilisk to Seantryn Modan to seek help from the army there.

Was he brave beyond measure? Was he mad?

Or did he have a cunning plan?

All of the above, it turned out. The teenager wrapped a blindfold around his eyes, shielding them from the basilisk's deadly gaze, and dashed blindly along the familiar roads until he felt the cobblestones of Seantryn Modan beneath his feet. He saved the village!

So, in late summer, the farmers of Aturi celebrate the town's founding and invite travelers and tourists to reenact the boy's run with them.

This time, an eclectic mix of adventurers showed up, representing the Village of the Battleragers, the Fortress of Light, the Temple of the Scarab, and more.

Round One: The Aturi Timberlands Cave to the Seantryn Modan Palace Gates

First place - Kerubiel
Second place - Galvendir
Third place - Gillador
Fourth place - Aaelor
Fifth place (by coin toss) - Lahnee

Participation trophies go to: Gilversplitz, Wilice, Ella

Round Two: The Dark Forest back to the Aturi Timberlands Cave

Entropist Gilversplitz, cut from the running, moved to ensure the Battlerager Kerubiel would not succeed without a fight. The wily shapeshifter ultimately feasted upon Kerubiel's entrails. An inglorious end for the most promising competitor of the race.

First place - Galvendir
Second place - Gillador

Participation trophies go to: Kerubiel, Aaelor, Lahnee

Final Round: Aturi Timberlands Cave to The Lost Elven Vaults
The most treacherous blind race yet! A Scarabite and a paladin scrambled blindly through the Jade Mountains in hopes of being the first to make it to the Lost Elven Vaults.

(Meanwhile, Gilversplitz pounced upon Wilice in the Aturi Timberlands, only to fall upon the goodly fighter's pike. "I thought you were one of those wolves!" Wilice exclaimed after realizing the aggressive beast he felled was, in fact, a shapeshifting gnome.)

In the end, Gillador prevailed as a blindfolded Galvendir became mired in the village of Aturi.

Winner: Gillador, Voice of the Scarab

For someone who uses the word "blind" as a grave insult, he's awfully good at navigating without sight!

After winning, Gillador promptly massacred the farmer and wandering knight who judged the contest, putting festivities to a decisive and grim close.

Special thanks to all of the participants!

Love these events and I had an idea for one, that would be on the bloody side.

It would be a race. From the entrance of the ruins of maethin to the big bad nightwalker and back, pk encouraged but looting prohibited.

Adding a time limit would prevent it from being a full on death match at the start.

With all those agro mobs people would have to be smart about how they approach it. Obviously only higher level chars are likely to survive but you could also do it through pine forest, that acacia, southern part of new arboria, ghoul tunnels, trothon, jade vaults, sotran, or aboleths.

Man, you're a sado-masochist!


...but I won't promise I won't use any or all of these ideas at some point down the line.

That an Imm transferred everyone in the game to a room and everyone just started butchering each other. It wasn't even a planned event or even announced beforehand. Does anyone else remember anything like that?

You could do that.
