| ===First task=== | | ==Related Locations== |
| *The first task is to play 11-Card Monte (capable of completion with raw Moxie of 7, perhaps less.) | | *Other [[Guild Hall]]s: |
| *Reward: Access to the Barrel full of Barrels, 2 [[giant moxie weed]]s, an [[enchanted barbell]], and a [[rockin' wagon]].
| | **[[The Brotherhood of the Smackdown]] for [[Muscle]] classes ([[Seal Clubber]], [[Turtle Tamer]]) |
| *Message before doing it:<br>
| | **[[The League of Chef-Magi]] for [[Mysticality]] classes ([[Pastamancer]], [[Sauceror]]) |
| :Shifty looks you over as you approach. "So, you want to join the Department, do you? Well, to gain access to the various perks we offer, you'll have to succeed in a series of tasks, each more difficult than the last.
| |
| :
| |
| :The first one is simple -- we're going to play a straightforward game of 11-Card Monte. If you can find the Queen, you have passed the test."
| |
| *Message when failing it:<br>
| |
| :(missing)
| |
| *Message when completing it:<br>
| |
| :Shifty quickly moves the cards around on the table, seemingly at random. When they come to rest, you hesitantly point to the third card from the right. Shifty turns the card over, revealing it to be the Queen of Pointy Things.
| |
| :
| |
| :"Nicely done, Initiate," says Shifty. "Welcome to the Department of Shadowy Arts and Crafts."
| |
| :
| |
| :"Here, take these -- you can get more at the Barrel Full of Barrels, in the Big Mountains. I'll mark it on your map.
| |
| | |
| :<center>[[Image:Heart2.gif]]You acquire '''2 [[giant moxie weed]]s'''</center>
| |
| :<center>[[Image:Barbell.gif]]You acquire an item: '''[[enchanted barbell]]'''</center>
| |
| :<center>[[Image:Martini.gif]]You acquire an item: '''[[rockin' wagon]]'''</center>
| |
| <!-- A friend of mine did this and managed to get 2 rockin' wagons, while I only got one. It would appear that the reward is random. --Quietust -->
| |
| | |
| ===Second task===
| |
| * The second task is to steal Izzy's wallet (not capable of completion with raw Moxie of 11 (you get the Ace of Post-Hole Diggers), but capable of completion with a buffed Moxie of 12)
| |
| *Message before doing it:<br>
| |
| : Shifty nods at you. "Ready for the next task? This one's a little harder: you see that guy over there? That's Izzy the Lizard. I want you to steal his wallet, and bring it back to me. If you can do it without him noticing, I'll let you use the Department's meatcar.
| |
| *Message when failing it:<br>
| |
| :(missing)
| |
| *Message when completing it:<br>
| |
| :You approach Izzy the Lizard silently and stealthily. You deftly hork his wallet and bring it back to Shifty.
| |
| | |
| :"Nice work, Initiate," says Shifty. "Here are the keys to our meatcar. Ask Izzy where he parked it."
| |
| | |
| ===Third task===
| |
| *The third task is to steal a beer from the bar behind the bar (capable of completion with a buffed moxie of 16, but not a buffed Moxie of 15, which got me beat about the head and neck by the bar)
| |
| *Message before doing it:<br>
| |
| :"All right, Initiate, only one task remains to prove yourself as a member of the Department.
| |
| | |
| :In the back room of this building, there is a bar. Behind the bar, there is a bar. You must sneak past the bar, and grab me a beer from the bar."
| |
| *Message when failing it:<br>
| |
| :(missing)
| |
| *Message when completing it:<br>
| |
| :You stride past Shifty and go through the door in the back of the room. You deftly maneuver (and muscle for rank) past the bar, and make your way to the bar. You grab a beer, and take it back to Shifty. He cracks it with a smile.
| |
| | |
| :"Congratulations, <name>," he says. "You are now a full member of the Department of Shadowy Arts and Crafts."
| |
| | |
| ===Fourth task===
| |
| *The fourth task is to steal your own pants (completed with a base moxie of 16, buffed to 18)
| |
| *Message before doing it:<br>
| |
| :"You have done well so far, my friend. You have almost earned access to the Shadowy Store in our back room. In order to do this, you must complete another challenge:
| |
| | |
| :Steal your own pants, without alerting yourself to your presence..."
| |
| *Message when failing it:<br>
| |
| :(missing)
| |
| *Message when completing it:<br>
| |
| :You sneak up behind yourself and remove your pants before you realize what's going on.
| |
|
| |
|
| :"Nice work!" says Shifty. "I'll let the guys in the back room know you're cool to shop there now." | | ==Notes== |
| | *In a [[Zombie Slayer]] run, the guild is closed: |
| | :The door to the Department of Shadowy Arts and Crafts is locked tight, and the windows are boarded up. You aren't sure what you wanted in there, anyway. Are you even a Disco Bandit or Accordion Thief? Trying to remember gives you a headache. |
|
| |
|
| ===Message after completion===
| | :You bang on the boarded-up door for a while, but nobody answers. |
| :You have already passed all of the challenges of your Guild. | |
