This is a description of the Chessboard ring event. The chessboard in the Plane of Mischief is now surrounded by jester-looking mobs. One side has all white pieces (this includes the outer hallway: white pawns, white bishops, white knights, white castles, and white queens). The other half is the black pieces (names?). Killing a white piece will always respawn another white piece, although it is random which piece will spawn; kill a pawn and a queen can spawn.
Each piece can drop an idol corresponding to its name, i.e., a white queen will drop a white queen piece. I never saw a white pawn drop anything, but the others did. Drops are uncommon/rare.
There are two quest mobs, one on each throne. Leea Brumplefoot can be found next to the Chessboard, opposite her opponent Ronald.
You say, 'Hail, Leea Brumplefoot'
Leea Brumplefoot says 'What does one have to do to win at this game? Each move I make they counter with a better move. I sure could use some help.'
You say, 'Help?'
Leea Brumplefoot says 'Oh you are willing to help me? Very well I really need to end this game and put my opponent in check mate. You can either gather up four black pawns to bring me closer to what I need. Or if you're willing to risk it all and go for check mate bring me one each of a black bishop, black knight, black castle, and a black queen. If you do so I'll have checkmate for sure. However the pieces can get a little lively in the defense of their king so be warned if you do so.'
Handing in 4 x Black Pawn results in a small amount of experience; no loot.
Leea Brumplefoot says, 'Excellent with these four gone I can make my move now! Here take this as your reward.'
You gain party experience!
Hand the Black Bishop, Black Knight, Black Castle, and Black Queen to Leea Brumplefoot.
Leea Brumplefoot says 'Oh wow you have done better than I ever expected. I almost have him in checkmate if you could take care of these pieces I'll have him for sure!'
You gain experience!!
All the mobs in the chessboard room and surrounding corridor despawn, including the quest NPCs Leea and Ronald Brumplefoot, and are replaced by 8 x "a black pawn" in the chessboard room. All are partially slowable. After all eight are killed:
The last of the pawns have been defeated now the bishop and knights have come to protect the king.
2 x "a black bishop" and 2 x "a black knight" spawn around the room. All are partially slowable. After all four are killed:
As both of the bishops and knights lie on the ground defeated. The castles and the queen come to defend the king.
"the Black Queen" and 2 x "a black castle" spawn in front of the east throne, opposite Leea Brumplefoot. All are partially slowable. The castles Rampage. The Queen hits up to about 800, quads/flurries, and Enrages at low health. After all three are killed:
The queen and castles have been defeated, now the king must defend himself!
the Black King spawns in front of the east throne, opposite Leea Brumplefoot. The King is partially slowable. He is approximately level 70, hits around 1500, quads, Wild Rampages, and Enrages at low health. After he is killed:
The king has been defeated and the checkmate earned after a hard fought victory.
You have about 15 minutes? to complete the event before it ends and the normal mobs respawn.
The Black King drops two items from the following list:
Grand Gauntlets of Gloating
Leather Tunic of Relaxation
Mysterious Bracelet of Furtive Thoughts
Silvery Vambraces of Celebration
Studded Black Pearl Earring
Tri-Threaded Cord of Glee |
