Adventurers, Test Your Might!

Beginning later tomorrow (7/7) adventurers will be able to register and take part in the Stone Hurl Challenge, set to take place in Zumryn's famous battlegrounds.

This special event will run from Tuesday, July 7th through Sunday, July 12th.

Competitors will attempt to hurl a massive stone (dubbed 'The Breaker' by Zumryn) as far as they can across a measured and marked stretch of ground.

The difficulty of this challenge is great, but so are the rewards!

The top four finishers will win prizes of 64, 48, 32, and 24 Adventurer Tokens, respectively.

Adventurers seeking to participate in this special event will be required to pass a basic test of strength (and part with a small quantity of gold) before being allowed to register.

---------------------------------

I just hope it's not MR related, because if that is the case I won't even stand a chance...

The challenge is now life. The price is 250 gold. You pick three random numbers, with the following bonuses:
Might*5 (yes, that's multiplied by 5)
Body*3
Agility*0.5
Spirit*0.5
Luck*0.5
Max bonus is 190.

My numbers were 281, 276 and 219 :(

You can try once every 6 (SIX) hours.

Hi, yes if more than one character is tied for a particular place (1st, 4th, etc.) each of the
characters occupying that place will receive the prize for that spot.

First off where can I buy some spinach. Two characters at 5'9" and two at 5'10" - sheesh. Actually, I forgot to save Hawk's 5'10" heave, well lob would be more appropriate (where's that darn strikeout function) in exasperation. Well at that distance or lack thereof I don't think missing the save is gonna hurt anything.

Hmmmmmm..... farcical fractured ego aside, if this was r/l I wonder how long it would take the doping allegations to surface due to real fractured egos.

Good question as I was wondering the same until I checked my email and read the Sryth Email Newsletter. Sorry to rain on some parades - including mine times four unless my luck changes. ;)

Well, I share w/ my dad, and he's out of town doesn't have internet access. I was talking to him on the phone and telling him about SHC and I offered to run his characters through for him.

- Rank |- Name |- distance
8 | Melvin Twain [thinman] | 6 feet, 9 inches
11 | Tharvald [thinman] | 6 feet, 6 inches
14 | Myrenne [thinman] | 6 feet, 3 inches
15 |Alanne [thinman] | 6 feet, 2 inches

I'm Alanne. Melvin was #3 yesterday. Myrenne's first roll today was 191. This doesn't belong in this thread, but Tharvald won a prize in the Tallys raffle ToT.

scout1idf

07-09-2009, 03:23 PM

So, what did you roll?

I don't know exactly, but I think all three were between 280 and 295.

This morning's rolls for all 4 of mine were pretty bad. Poor Allura barely got it past her toes.

thingirl

07-09-2009, 03:35 PM

Hey, Scout, when a player goes to throw the stone, it says something like "It'll take some effort to throw it farther than (insert #1 here) did." What does it say when SCOUT (your character) goes to throw it.

barn42

07-09-2009, 05:04 PM

thought I had worked out formula for distance . Mine have thrown the total numbers added together ; divided by 10 rounded down in inches everytime .

total rolled including bonus 815 = 81.5 round down to 81 inches = 6 ft 9 inch

unfortunately scout has done 7 ft 4 inch and the formula would produce an ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM of 7 ft 3 inch . 190 bonus (all straight 20's) 100 rolled each time = 290x3 =870 87 inches = 7 ft 3 inch

Hastifer

07-09-2009, 05:56 PM

Then it might be on a graduated scale -- as in, the value "per point" changes as the total value increases. (if a roll of 1 is worth 1 (1/1), and a roll of 5 is worth 6 (1=1.2), 10 is worth 13 (1=1.3), and so on... or a similar concept)

Or... he might just be rounding "up" from a lower value than standard practice would dictate (7'3.1" rounded up to 7'4" wouldn't be inconceivable)

Edit: Ignore the above, BUT maybe he adds a small bonus for getting the max roll

Ka keng

07-09-2009, 09:23 PM

Wee, rolled a 70, 76 and 83. Distance is now 7 feet 1 inch

The result of Alanne's last roll:

"5 feet, 1 inch," announces Greeny, looking up from the rock now half-embedded in the ground and saluting you with an approving nod. "Not a bad toss!"

Several of the gathered onlookers applaud.

That is odd. I wonder if more weight is given to certain rolls or certain levels? All of your rolls were higher than barn's 66, so if having above 70 or something gets you extra credit, that might have done it.

Well fortunately Virago's luck is holding so far and the text listed her name with the same text as if it was one of my other characters.

It doesen't say anything about the #1 spot. I didn't think to copy and paste it.

As thingirl posted I didn't get a name with any of my characters when there was a tie for first.

Also I didn't think to copy Virago's text, hopefully for her that luck will hold and I can edit it in after her next run.

Wonder how any ties will be dealt with? Will everyone get the full amount of ATs or will the prize be split?

I completely and utterly sympathize..
Most of my rolls are at or below 30, which equates to most of my throws being in the upper 4 - lower 5 feet marks.

Except for my second throw of the competition which got me in the top..15 with 6' 5".

The wild-haired lad known only as Greeny, one of Zumryn's trusted assistants, steps forward and recites for you what few rules there are that govern the Stone Hurl Challenge.

"You can try to toss the stone once every six hours," he says. "Your longest toss will always stand as your official mark for the contest. Simple enough, right?"

A small crowd of onlookers has gathered to watch your attempt at tossing the weighty chunk of stone that Zumryn has dubbed 'The Breaker'.

"'The Breaker' -- It breaks the spirit of the one who can't lift it and breaks the back of the one that does," mutters someone in the crowd.

"When you're ready," says Greeny, bowing ceremoniously as you step up to the stone.

As your hands grasp the jagged sides of the massive rock, your eyes gaze out across the measured and marked stretch of ground in front of you. Tossing this piece of rock any distance at all is going to prove to be a challenge.

No special message if you're in the lead when you throw it.

Your answer is on page 2.

Thanks as I completely overlooked that or completely forgot reading it. :o Either way thanks again and reps to you and Shadowblack.

No special message if you're in the lead when you throw it.

I'm guessing that's because zmflavius is tied with you. I barely had time to run my four before heading out the door this morning for work so I didn't have time to copy Virago's text and to be honest I'm not sure if the text for Virago still had her name as I just clicked and saved times four. I do know the first time she ran it after getting the lead, albeit temporarily, :( ;) it listed her name when she ran it.

This mult-quote option is nice. A lot quicker and handier than the old forum - or at least the way I did it there.

Dranikos

Ditto and I'm thinking Virago finished in third but I can't access the leaderboards or anything else related to the Stone Hurl. Also there is nothing behind the blue door, yet. I'd say the closing was automatically set up and once the contest data is collected we'll get further instructions.

Congratulations to the top prize winner(s) :D and to all the runner-ups :). I ran my characters "willy nilly" through there to get them one more shot before the server struck midnight. Completely forgot about the time lag till I was running them - luckily I got them through not that it mattered as all thier throws were low.

Would one of/the top prize winner(s) post the details of the "bonus" prize, especially if it isn't listed for the rest of us?

Dranikos

07-12-2009, 04:13 AM

Hmm, perhaps the GM needs to work on the definition of "through". Usually when you say something runs through a given day / time it includes that day / time... In this case saying the event ran "until" Sunday would have been more accurate.

scout1idf

07-12-2009, 04:18 AM

I was hoping to run Scout through again since he got knocked down to 5th place (the last I knew).

I still had about 2 hours from the end time till it would have reset for another run.

Actually the server time and the GM is in the Eastern US time zone which I also happen to be in - it seems the contest closed around midnight.

Which reminds me I wonder how much the server time is off - I'm guessing a bit past 30 minutes fast.

Just checked and it's about 32 minutes fast by my figuring - save back to back and allow to get the time stamp and adjust by time allowing for the one minute game save reset.

Dranikos

07-12-2009, 04:21 AM

I'm eastern as well, and it's 26 minutes fast. But my point is that, for example, when a newspaper ad says a sale runs from, say, june 23 through june 29th. The sale is still in effect if you go on june 29th.

The battleground says the event runs through July 12th, but here it is, July 12th, and it's closed. So like I said, "Until" would be more accurate than "Through".

at the time of this post, there is approximately 1 and a half hour left to submit a last hurl.

On my last hurl...I failed ignominiously with only 5'10". 'Grats to Gravegorel, as I am sure he will win the grand prize.

This challenge is now over. Final results will soon be tallied and the list of winners will be published on Monday afternoon (7/13). Prizes for the top finishers will be available following the publishing of the results. Thanks to all the mighty adventurers who participated and congratulations to the winners!

Congrats to all the lucky winners.

If the prize isn't fully listed (description and all) could one of/the lucky winner(s) post it here. Also I'm sure that Scarbrow would be interested in having the item id# for the wiki (hold your cursor over the item in your inventory and check the lower left corner of the screen). Thanks in advance.

The prize (at least for me) was a MASSIVE XP boost
8192 General and 2048 S/P.
Edit: Numbers pulled from memory, may not be 100% Accurate, didn't think to copy / paste it

Trent's other prize....

The surging energy rapidly fades, leaving in its wake a strange tingling sensation that takes several minutes to disappear.

XP +8,192 You've been awarded a total of 8,192 Experience...
8,192 xp applied to general...

XP +2,048 You've been awarded 2,048 Experience...
2048 xp applied to All Skills and Powers...

"It produces a rather strange effect, does it not?" Zumryn grins and slaps you on the back. "If I'm to tell you the truth, I've got quite a few of those lying about -- under lock and key, mind. Just a small gift to you, Trent. Thank you, and congratulations on your success!"

You speak with Zumryn for several minutes before at last taking your leave of the master of the battlegrounds. He bids you farewell and again congratulates you.

This is my reward, and 64 tokens. Lots of experience, good for me.:)

So, did everyone get essentially the same prize except for the AT differences?

Just chiming in with my congratulations to all the winners :) I hope that there is another challenge soon.

A "Breaker" congrats to the winners. The AT's and xp reward are really huge; and well-deserved by the winners. And better luck next time to those that didn't win (including Moi!) ;)

On a side note the S&P xp came from a black orb that Zumryn handed over to you. He also indicated that he has more of them kept under lock and key.

Congratulations to all the winners!
Special congratulations (and some rep) to Gravegorel for his outstanding throw that was nearly two feet further than my best effort.

"""Zumryn congratulates you on your success in the Stone Hurl Challenge and promptly hands you a pouch containing your prize of Adventurer Tokens.

AT + 64 You've acquired 64 Adventurer Tokens.

"An impressive showing it was," he says, meeting you in a shoulder cross. "I had never before seen anyone hurl that cursed rock past six feet. Well, I suppose I should have known I'd see something special from you, though I daresay you surpassed even my loftiest expectations. Well done! Here, I've something else for you..."
Zumryn produces a palm-sized black stone orb and holds it up for you to see.
"A little something I'd like for you to have," he says. "Call it another prize, if you so choose, but I'd prefer to think of it as a gift from me to you. You really don't know how very grateful I am for your presence here and for your success. As you might know, your success quiet readily translates into my own good fortune!"
Zumryn hands you the black orb. The moment you take possession of it, the orb vanishes with a blinding flash, and a surge of energy passes through your body..."""

This text continues with my previous post, when the character touches the orb.

So, Mxeptz is Srythadventurer... right? Since he/she is the only one that got a throw of 5'2"...

So, Mxeptz is Srythadventurer... right? Since he/she is the only one that got a throw of 5'2"...

Can't be. Some of the journal also states that for some reason, Srythadventurer's character doesn't appear on any of the lists for the hall of champions, and Mxeptz appears on a lot.

Or the Sryth Adventurer text could be completely made up for flavor - maybe. :confused:
