Talk:Strung-Up Quartet

Adventure Info

Actually putting things together as a wiki page takes a million years, so I'll post the basic information here from what I've found:

This adventure occurred in the Ballroom.

Strung-Up Quartet

In a dusty corner of the Haunted Ballroom, you see a disturbing sight. Four ghostly figures hanging from ghostly nooses from a (non-ghostly) chandelier.

Looking more closely, you see that the strung-up figures are holding stringed instruments -- two violins, a viola, and a cello. How ghoulishly appropriate!

The figure in the lead suddenly looks at you, eyebrows raised. He's evidently waiting for instructions. What will you tell him?

["Play 'Provare Compasione Per El Sciocco'"] ["Play 'Sono Un Amanten Non Un Combattente'"] ["Play 'Le Mie Cose Favorite'"] ["Play nothing, please."]

Provare: Play 'song 1' please. The quartet begins to play.

Adventuring several more times, I haven't seen anything else. Unless the Ballroom Blintz is a new item (which I suspect it might be). -Id the Mildly Confused 22:36, 7 November 2006 (CST)

I think it might be combat frequency, i got a lot of non combat adventures with song number 2.

babelfish translations say: 1. to experience compassion for the stupid 2. I am An Amanten Not A Fighting (reduces combat frequency?) 3. My favourite thing Pthalo 06:12, 8 November 2006 (CST)

It stands to reason that Show Pity for the Fool would increase combat frequency; I'm a Lover, Not a Fighter should decrease combat frequency; My Favorite Things might well be +drop%.--Id the Mildly Confused 11:20, 8 November 2006 (CST)

But for how long? You don't receive any effects from these songs.--Jubbers 15:15, 8 November 2006 (CST)

If you pick to play the same song twice you get the message: "You guys are doing fine," you say. "Just keep playing what you've been playing." Perhaps that should be in the article? Idk! Jihiro 21:01, 8 November 2006 (CST)

• I added the message to the article, but could someone confirm whether or not doing this consumes an adventure?--Lord Grumbles 19:31, 9 November 2006 (CST)
  • Nevermind, I got the adventure again, asked for the same song, and it didn't consume an adventure. I'll add it to the article now.--Lord Grumbles 19:39, 9 November 2006 (CST)

Could these songs possibly affect the Rotting Matilda adventure? --TheArchivist 21:34, 8 November 2006 (CST)

I've got a sample size of 292 (and growing) that show that option #2 has no sustained effect on ballroom combat frequency. Any other data sets from people going for the level 30 trophies? --Worlds Number 1 Grandpa 23:27, 8 November 2006 (CST)

•This is what I'm currently doing, so I'll have a prod at it see if it makes any difference. So far I've run with just song 3 (because option 3 usually equals moxie), but I'll poke it inbetween matildas if I can. --Changling bob 01:54, 9 November 2006 (CST)

• If it affects the Rotting Matilda adventure, there's no change in what type the substat gain is. I got that adventure while playing songs 1 and 3, and both times the substat gain was moxie. --Nucleon 09:30, 9 November 2006 (CST)

• I'm wondering if these songs have a bonus to certain AT songs, such as #2 making Sonata of Sneakiness more effective - possibly along with the opera mask use.--Babyscarface 21:30, 9 November 2006 (CST)

• Nothing I can see about the songs affects the casting of AT songs, with or without opera mask.--Babyscarface 09:30, 10 November 2006 (CST)

Outside of the Ballroom

Just anecdotal, but is really seems like the song played has an effect outside the Ballroom. I'm adventuring in the Gallery, and switching from song 1 to song 2 has seemed to increased the non-combat adventures I am getting. Can anyone confirm? --xcorvis 10:54, 12 November 2006 (CST)
