Aesthene's Close 441/Teasers
Coming Soon - Aesthene’s Close: The Timekeeper’s Broken Device!
(Sent 2022-05-13)
An echo from the past or harbinger of the future, the legendary alchemist and mystical mischief maker Aesthene has reappeared!
Journeying to the site of his ruined manor in Crossing, Aesthene was overheard muttering about long-awaited restitution and claiming to be an Apprentice Timekeeper under the tutelage of Raerethrew.
A plea soon went out to adventurers far and wide, asking for assistance in locking away the unstable temporal magics running wild in the undiscovered corridors of Aesthene's Close!
Will you answer the call and use your lexical logic to help hold back the tides of time from flooding into the world?!
Join us as the race against time begins on Friday, May 20th at 9:00 PM ET!
(On 05/16 Lyneya posted an obfuscated copy of the next teaser email in the #aesthenes-close channel of the official Discord server, with most of the characters of the email changed to Xs. It was completely decoded by the players the following day.)
Aesthene has reappeared and beseeches the aid of all cunning adventurers!
Enter the festive meeting portal found at the standard locations to make your way into the Crystal Chamber of Aesthene's Close. An apprentice Timekeeper awaits adventurers there to assist in REDEEMing time slips for access to the newly discovered chronosphere.
Once inside, find one of the many time locks and TOUCH it to form a bond and begin the process to guess the secret five-letter word in order to stabilize that component of the containment device. You can LOOK at the lock to see your progress at any time and WHISPER to the lock when guessing at the secret word.
Correctly guessing the secret word in six tries or less will grant 100 chronocoins and 1 role-playing point. Failing to guess the correct word will grant only 100 chronocoins. Adventurers intent on a less cerebral approach may simply PUNCH the time lock for an immediate resolution and 100 chronocoins.
From across the ages, Aesthene has procured a marvelous set of prizes for those who offer their assistance in the task:
- New cosmetic design materials - bitterweave, heartname leather, icethorn wood, temptress beryl, and truegold!
- New - Bardic Mojo, Ranger Wilderness, and Paladin Soul regen!
- New - Engineering and Alchemy wands to summon crafting equipment!
- New - throwable acid and poison!
- Mysandas for vitality, concentration, fatigue, spirit, and mana!
- Stackers for tied gem pouches, mysandas, infuser stones, potency crystals, and animal vouchers!
- Alchemical Light summoning pouch!
- And so much more!
There will also be Five Dispenser Sets with spectacular items of exclusive and limited quantity!
