The Night King approaches...

Questnews

(  1)  Zistrosk     10/09/17     The Night King approaches...

Reports have come in from across the realms that mysterious ice fissures have
been appearing in the ground, and in one instance an eye witness reported
seeing an individual that fit the description of the legendary Night King
creating the fissure simply by pointing his finger at the dirt. Upon close
inspection, the Arcane Heraldry of Darkhaven have determined that the realms
may be under attack, most likely by white walkers and other cold denziens.

Duke Luther has asked that the heroes of the Realms gather once again, and
help stave off this chilling turn of events. If allowed to progress, it surely
cannot be good for the cities of light. 

Scapezist's Note: This quest will run throughout the month of October, with a 
climactic end-event at 8pm mud time on Monday, October 30th. This quest is
for any level but non-AV questors should avoid fighting the mobs. Be IP1 in
the area, and if player corpses are on the ground at a fissure please select
another target to attack. Quest activity will be tallied automatically.
Declare your quest character to me please before you start via tells/mudmail.
Undeclared questors will recive no credit. AV Scoring will be a composite of
all KBs. Non-AVs scoring will be the total of fissures disabled. If you have
yet to start this quest you have until reboot the morning of the 29th to join.

There were technical difficulties ....

(  2)  Zistrosk     10/01/17     The Night King takes the Night Off

The Night King lost his left shoe.  Until he finds it, he is unable to continue
his attack on the realms.  Oh, and his shoelaces are gone.  He'll need those
too.  As soon as he gets that sorted, I'm sure he'll be back.
 
-Scapezist
p.s. I'm no longer in trouble for not being in trouble enough.

... but they got worked out!

(  2)  Zistrosk     10/02/17     The Night King is back on the hunt after a relaxing night off

The Night King found his formerly lost left shoe, and got a new set of laces.
Now that he's all laced up, rested up, and done "chilling out", he's back in
action.  And so are his cold minion buddies.
 
-Scapezist
p.s. Jon Snow: You know nothing, Zistrosk.
     Zistrosk: Yeah, I knew that.

Mechanics

Fissures can be found throughout the Realms guarded by White Walkers.

A wide fissure underfoot is filled with the Night King's black ice.
(Fade) A White Walker, servant to the Night King, narrows his eyes at you.
White Walker is shrouded in flowing shadow and light.

White Walkers

Similar in appearance to the Night King, this White Walker minion has blueish
tinted cold looking skin. His ice blue eyes stare intently, filled with a
chilly hate for all those living among the warm races. It is said that his
attack can shatter all but the most blessed of steel. Narrowing his eyes
slightly, he tightens his grip and looks prepared to attack.
