Fantasy Faire 2013 – The Key Of Hope Hunt

Now if you’re not too busy this weekend, The Key Of Hope Hunt is still running and as we all know, hunts are fun ….. oh come on, they are! Anyway you will need a hud to play and this will cost you L$100 but the purchase is from a Relay For Life Vendor and therefore is part of the fund raising efforts.

The hunt comes in two parts, the first takes place in the Fairelands and as they are part of Fantasy Faire, you may need to get your boots on to complete it. The the second part, which runs until May 19th, is a collaboration with Madpea Productions.

Below is a narration of the prologue, and a mighty fine prologue it is too. However, if you would rather read the prologue, the text is below the YouTube clip, or you could read the text whilst listening to the youTube clip. At the end of the post I’ll also include the link on how to play the hunt.

Key of Hope ~ Prologue

For a thousand years and more, the demon prince Val’baan ruled over the land with fear. Then, a child was born who would grow to be his nemesis. This had happened before, but Val’baan was possessed of enough brains to maintain an intelligence network that alerted him to possible threats before they were too great to crush. This time, however, the girl was raised in secret by people ready for the time, and when she grew to womanhood the demon’s fate was inevitable. A quest, a battle, an overcoming followed, and the sun rose over the world once more. Kiana and her companions fought for three days to drive Val’baan first back into the valley, then to the temple which had been the seat of Val’baan’s power – his final redoubt. Two hundred men and women began that fight, ninety reached the entrance to the valley and only eight were alive to see Val’baan trapped as Kiana read from the scroll and completed the ritual of binding. Each of these took their place at one of the eight outer seals, with Kiana herself bringing them together in the centre. The heroes’ strength was thus combined to forge a lock that could never be opened again, from within or without.

However…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Thank You Fantasy Faire From American Cancer Society

Fantasy Faire is still running, but a group notice has been sent with a thank you letter from The American Cancer Society, details below.

Faireland Relayers,

While I watch the tremendous success of the Fantasy Faire, I feel compelled to write a personal note of congratulations and thank you to the people who organize this wonderful event every year. Since Fantasy Faire began, you all have worked to raise almost $100,000 USD for the American Cancer Society and you should be proud of your efforts.

I, and the American Cancer Society appreciate everyone who has donated their time, talent, and Lindens throughout all the years, and this year is no exception. This year, I have seen some of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in Second Life. I have heard from countless others who share the same sense of wonder and amazement. In fact, I can quote one friend who said, “I’ve never seen anything like this in Second Life.” And that’s from someone who is in Second Life every day, and has been for many years.

Fantasy Faire 2013 – I Think I Was Kidnapped By Elves!

Fantasy Faire 2013 is held in a land far away and as a blogger for the event, Dwarfins boss Dwarfins Judy has kindly allowed me to take up accomodation at the Dwarfins Store, which also happens to be the home of the Flaming Tankard Inn. On Tuesday night, I had some some strange experiences there, which meant I was out of action all day Wednesday!

Things started reasonably well, I returned to the accomodation after a hard working day.

Once inside I noticed The Dwarfins staff hard at work, meeting and greeting people.

On duty at the time was Olga Rockbeard.

Thorrak Rockbeard was also on duty.

They introduced me to an acquaintance in the shape and form of Fio’O Krolmskull Bethune.

At this stage nothing untoward had happened. I merrily chatted away and then decided to relax in the Flaming Tankard.

Fio : “Who is that?”

Olga : “He’s some sort of reporter, Judy said we need to look after him.”

Thorrak nodded agreement “Fio, keep an eye on him in there, Judy said we’re not to let him get drunk.”

I stepped into the inn.

Fantasy Faire 2013 – News Regarding The Quest For The Golden Prim

I awoke this morning at Fantasy Faire 2013 to find that someone had slipped an envelope under my door, there was no writing on the envelope, so I opened it and read the note inside:

“It seems that the Faire this year has been joined by a group of intrepid explorers who are seeking a mysterious artefact known as “The Golden Prim”. Whether they expect to find it here in the Fairelands, or whether they are here for some other reason remains to be seen.

They seem to be based at the Explorers’ Club (Oriental Branch) in Lotus Valley Dream – you can learn more of their adventures there – and discover some secrets too, it is believed.

If you encounter one of them at the Faire, they’ll be happy to talk to you – and they’’ll also have things to give you too …

So look out for the Questers – and join their adventure.”

Usually I would consult with my Chief Elf on such matters but she is elsewhere in the Fairelands, I decided to go to this Lotus Valley Dream location and take another look at the Explorers club.

This was also useful as despite my lodgings having a very comfortable bed, The Explorers club is the home of the only wash room in the Fairelands!

On approaching the explorers club I noticed a lady and a gentleman stood outside:

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Dwarfins Items And Hunt Items

The Dwarfins store at Fantasy Faire 2013 is a hive of activity, that’s me in the foreground looking for a means of escape as their drunken bawdiness spills over into serious rowdiness. However The Dwarfins team have been working hard and Dwarfins Judy managed to introduce me to some of the wares they have for this year’s Faire, then afterwards I went photo snapping the Dwarfins staff….. I may have done this sneakily, although I’m sure this wasn’t the cause of the bar brawl!

“Well for a start we have Wizard and Enchantress Dwarfins – These are Dwarfins that are made specially for Fantasy Faire, we have tried to capture the colours of RFL as well as the magical and fantasy aspects of the faire. The Dwarfins each come with a special food that these people of magic particularly enjoy, a weeks supply of mushrooms. These Dwarfins will be sold at the faire with all proceeds going to RFL.”

An Image Should Be Here — Dwarfins Wizard

“Interactive Magic Book – We felt that any good wizard and enchantress would have a book of magic, this book acts as an interactive with the dwarfins and will work with any dwarfin, it works as all of our interactives work, just set the book down within the range of your dwarfins and sit back and watch them practice their magic. (the red markers are just indicators to show you where the dwarfins will go to interact with the book, if you long left click on the book a menu will pop up allowing you to turn the markers off). The magic books will be sold at the faire with all proceeds going to RFL.”
