Hereinafter, you will see an embryonic attempt to organize a bit of the information of the "trials" in the Plane of Justice.
As usual, after a review/criticism session, I will try to it up clean up and leave to posterity. Please post your corrections and additions.
The text below illustrates the lashing and execution trials. Lashing should be for the Plane of Valor and Execution for the Plane of Storms. We'll sort out soon the other trials. The names should be lashing, execution, flame, stoning, hanging, and I believe torture.
<strong> THE MAVUIN TRIALS </strong>
<strong>General Overview</strong>
This involves several trials at the Tribunal in the POJustice. By doing one of the trials and acquitting him with the Tribunal, you will get access one of the second level Planes.
To begin, you need to find the prisoner Mavuin. You can get a quest flag from him. You will probably need a group to get to him, he is behind a hallway 4-5 sets of things that look like Fungal Fiends and Pebblecrushers. They are below level 54, and mezzable.
Thru the dialogue, Mavuin will ask you to plead his case. Here is an example:
[Thu Oct 24 00:56:27 2002] You say, 'Hail, Mavuin'
[Thu Oct 24 00:56:28 2002] Mavuin strains his eyes to look up at you in disbelief, then reaches down into a rusted vent and pulls out a journal. 'Please I implore you, take word to the Tribunal. I have done nothing wrong, yet I have been sentenced to eternity in this cell. I wish to present all of the [information] about my case to them. They must listen to my plea if they are truly the gods of justice.'
[Thu Oct 24 00:56:36 2002] You say, 'what information?'
[Thu Oct 24 00:56:36 2002] Mavuin tells you, 'I know it has been said for years before me, and will be said for years after me, but I was truly framed for my crime. You see the gods feared the knowledge that I carry with me. So to prevent me passing this knowledge to others, it was set up to show that I had plotted to murder one of the other elders. Please go before the tribunal and plead my case. If you do this I will share what I know with you, I apologize for holding it against you, but I am desperate to be released.'
[Thu Oct 24 00:56:36 2002] You have received a character flag!
After that, you will have to talk to the tribunal members:
You start by saying: 'what about mavuin?'.
At this point, you can get several different answers from the tribunals. One talked about a trial of hanging, one talked about a trial of lashing, one talked about a trial of torture. There are 6 different "trials".
Most of them seem to be along the lines of protecting something. In a nutshell, there will be 4 preliminary waves, all equal in difficulty and a final one . You can't bring more than one group as it will boot you out if you have more than 6.
<strong>Example of the Execution trial:</strong>
The Tribunal nods slightly. 'Very well. When you are ready, you may begin the trial of execution. The victim will perish should the hooded executioner reach him. Its life will end only when all of the nemeses which accompany it also perish. We shall judge the mark of your success.'
You say, 'I am ready for the trial of execution.'
You will be ported into a room with someone at an executioners stand. Then, an executioner will appear. You cannot target him. The wave will comprise 2 "a dark nemesis" and 2 "a fierce nemesis". Two looked like the Pebblecrushes from the Grey and the other two looked like Fungal Fiends. The rock ones were immune to mez, the Fungal Fiends were immune to root.
You have to kill all the NPCs around the "executioner" before he gets to the executioner's table. If you don't kill them in time, you lose. If you do kill them in time, you get a "mark of execution". Then you will to run back and forth between Mavuin and the tribunal to complete the test.
It's not easy, to say the least. Bring lots of DPS and have a balanced group:
One group that beat it was rogue, cleric, mage, tank, enchanter and monk. They used this strategy:
Shaman buff everyone up before group went in. Mage casted DS on tank and to add to shaman DS potion. Mage summoned epic pet as soon as group went in. Dont bother slowing any mobs, you need the damage from the DS. The final guy is slowable and hits for max of 720 and does a weird 'armor break' proc. The rock guys are not mezzable.
<strong>Example of the LASHING trial</strong>
[Thu Oct 24 01:03:59 2002] You say, 'what about Mavuin?'
[Thu Oct 24 01:03:59 2002] The Tribunal tells you, 'So, mortal, you wish us to allow a prisioner to plead his case? What power do you think that you hold that we should field your interests? You must prove yourself in one of our trials before we will consider hearing this plea.'
[Thu Oct 24 01:04:04 2002] You tell your party, 'got one here'
[Thu Oct 24 01:04:18 2002] You say, 'how do I prove myself in one of your trials?'
[Thu Oct 24 01:04:19 2002] The Tribunal says 'The trials of the Tribunal are no easy affair. They will severely test your might and skill. Are you prepared for such an ordeal?'
[Thu Oct 24 01:04:27 2002] You say, 'I am prepared for such an ordeal'
[Thu Oct 24 01:04:27 2002] The Tribunal nods slightly. 'Very well. When you are ready, you may begin the trial of lashing. You must protect the victims from their tormentors. Be wary of the scourge of honor - you cannot fight it directly. You must find and destroy its life force to defeat it. We shall judge the mark of your success.'
[Thu Oct 24 01:04:56 2002] You say, 'I am ready for the trial of lashing'
[Thu Oct 24 01:04:56 2002] The Tribunal says 'Then begin.'
From there you will ported to a small square room with some prisoners.
The 4 mobs in this trial are 2 "A malevolent punisher" and 2 "A savage lasher". They hit for 200 to 300. :)
