[QUOTE="Nullzone, post: 5765869, member: 97538"] Not to brag, but uh, I did. Run by Sersa himself, no less. Call it random luck if you like (we were definitely guessing in at least two places; we had narrowed it down but had no way to know for sure if we were right), and managed to get to the last room even having failed the golem reconstruction (which actually ended my character, but as this was at a convention I was allowed to remain as a spirit entity that could at least talk to the party and convey ideas; I was telepathically linked to the party and could only see what they saw, I had no physical form or means to traverse the dungeon, so that prevented any notion of 'cheating'). We were going to die in the last chamber when our final party member struck a bargain with the avatar; we had clearly passed the trials and were worthy combatants, so the PC offered to become the avatar's eternal servant if he allowed the crucible to be rendered completed (thus saving the world). He agreed. (I believe, though I haven't actually looked at the most updated text, that Sersa actually worked with him to add in this element, which is really cool!) Both C1 and SND01 are completely doable without preknowledge, as long as you are inclined to think abstractly enough. The real-time clock makes that difficult though, so it's easy to (dis)miss a detail that would win you the day. [/QUOTE]
