Niflheim Challenge

Okay, so the update happenned. Included in this update is a new series of challenging planar areas called Niflheim, most of which was designed by Mr. Otyugh, but the two final (and most difficult) areas were designed by myself, with help from Mr. O in creating spawns.
The areas are designed for party exploration. They are literally impossible to solo, due to things that will eventually be discovered. So... I'm going to put a small challenge out there, because I know we have some players who enjoy a challenge, especially one that involves more than just hacking and slashing.
The challenge is... the first party (of five or fewer players) to defeat the inner sanctum and have a screen shot posted here. There may or may not be an RP reward involved... but you will be able to say you were first.
And so... let the games begin.

Note, we will likely increase xp there, it seemed low compared to the challenge our own first attempt ;)

Otyugh, any group involving you is disqualified because you made the spawns and know all of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as all of the little puzzle tricks I put into it. =P Nice try though! Vorr and Karath'rok get hugs, but that's all.
Otyugh gets a spanking.

Actually that was first time I ever went through it in game and never checked scripts or stuff xD I was lazy! Didn't know the puzzles at all. I think it took us an hour to get through the castle level also.

Well, on the bright side you managed to make it. Congratulations on being the first group that doesn't involve Mr. Otyugh to do so. However...

Five or fewer. You guys had seven, so it seems we still don't have a winner... I would, however, enjoy hearing from members of that group about the experience... what you enjoyed, what you hated, what you think might be worth changing.

Two Ascended ones is too much...and the hardest part is the entrance/leave, unless you hips/invis/ethereal...

I think there was three actually... the cleanup script isn't fireing there I believe, so someone running through and leaving a boss might mean two bosses for next group XD
Will get fixed.
