Brief Event Overview

A huge slime, Lich, and Queen of the Spiders spawn at event start.  These mobs can respawn unless prevented.

Adds spawn from each of the minis at HP percentages.

Spider Queen will run to upper and lower level rooms in an attempt to lay more eggs.  Penalty adds spawn if egg sacs are not destroyed in time.

Shalowain activates when all three minis are dead.

Shalowain spawns adds from each of the previous minis.

Ground auras and emotes come into play during event.


Strategy

Assigned team will coordinate and handle Cinerarium and Sparks.

Burn a huge slime first, cleaning up adds that spawn after.  Players have a short time to damage the slime when it spawns before it goes active.

Back out of a huge slime's red aura.

Kill Lich and undead adds that spawn at HP percentages.

Back out of Lich's large blue aura.

Assigned players kill egg sacs that appear in the upper and lower rooms to the north and south.  Stay in your assigned room until Spider Queen is dead.

Spider Queen spins webs and emotes two players.  Run until the threads break.

Kill weaver adds that spawn at Queen Spider HP percentages.

Shalowain summons monsters at HP percentages.  Use the slimes to counter the effects of Bonds of Sound and Agitating Dissonance.

Players emoted with music notes immediately move upstairs and kite until effect fades.

Cinerarium and Sparks

The Cinerarium is a device that allows the collection and use of the life Spark of a mob.

Upon the death of a mob, if the Cinerarium is not used to collect the Spark, Shalowain will reclaim the Spark and use it to create another mob:

A Spark left unclaimed by the cinerarium sparks and glows. Shalowain reclaims it and uses it to create another monster!

The Spark can also be used to power the life of a forgebound mender:

The Cinerarium glows and activates the depleted forgebound.

The Cinararium absorbs a small portion of the casters spark and therefore may only be used once by that caster:

The Spark passes through a hero and enters the Cinerarium of Heroes. The Cinerarium glows.

Start Event

Event is triggered by keyword, speaking with Elmara Emberclaw and using keyword defy her.

Elmara Emberclaw says, 'Ah, you have arrived, as someone always seems to arrive, though some soon [leave].   Shalowain has quenched the forge.' Elmara seems deeply saddened by what she sees before her, but she sheds no tears. 'It is a shame that all of our efforts to battle evil and right wrongs in the world have led us to this impasse, to fighting each other.  I guess there is no going back for her, and I will not be drawn into her fight. She believes that heroes can only be forged in battle, out in the world harming some to protect others.  I don't deny that this may be necessary at times, but it is not the only way one can help. There are heroes on the farm and in the home as much as they exist on the battlefield. I guess she cannot accept this as [truth].'

Elmara Emberclaw says, 'Well, I believe so, with all my heart. And I believe that convincing farmers, cooks, and fisherfolk to go to war for what they believe in is not always correct. Shalowain refuses to accept that, and so here she is, trying to stop my work by force. I can only see this as evidence that she is mistaken. I will not [fight her]. She is my friend, despite what she seems to have become, and I gave up fighting for creating.'

Elmara Emberclaw says, 'I acknowledge that there are as many ways to be a hero as there are people. While I would not wish harm upon her, I would be grateful if she were to stop this and allow me to return to my work. Of course, even if she were to leave now the forge would still be out. It should be possible to relight it if you can recover the [Spark] that she took from within.'

Elmara Emberclaw says, 'Everyone has a Spark, the essence of what drives them on. A hero's Spark can be an outright blaze. I gave a good portion of my own Spark to light the forge the first time and I am not sure I could do so again.  Shalowain has taken that Spark for herself. While a Spark can never really be destroyed, it can be portioned, given, and taken. With that portion of my Spark she will have even more power.  I will have to make something that will allow you to recover my Spark. They are dangerous to handle. The fact that she was able to take mine is rather concerning, in fact. But she has always been strong. Either way, she has chosen this fight and so it is only right if you choose to [defy her].'
