Introducing: "Some Distant Shore"

[Howlando]

I would like an opportunity to alert the EFU community to a new 5-12 quest that I've recently finished.

"Some Distant Shore" is a level 5-12 quest that's a little different than other EFU quests.

It can only be attempted once/reset (it does not refresh itself due to its extreme complexity; thus only the first party to make an attempt per reset can do it).

Players attempting it should be prepared for a very high level of mechanical difficulty, puzzles, extreme randomization, and unique opportunities. New monsters, new use of tilesets, new treasures, new kinds of challenges, and new sources of lore and REVELATIONS are out there waiting to be discovered.

Players should schedule themselves approximately 3-4 hours to attempt this quest.

Although heavily randomized (far more than any other quest ever in EFU), there are some aspects that can be easily spoiled on repeat attempts. It's gently encouraged for players to be mindful of not spoiling the quest for other players on repeats, and allowing everyone the opportunity to experience it as a fresh experience.

If you attempt this quest let me know and I'll do my best to observe. There shouldn't be any bugs left (aside from one minor one which has a workaround explained OOC'ly in the relevant spot), but please let me know if anything odd pops up.

And enjoy.

(Also, for all you bleating goat enthusiasts, there is also a 5-10 short & hard demon goatman themed quest out there that I don't think anyone has found yet...)

Oh, you take it from a new Captain NPC in Loblobliiiblop. Due to the logistical challenges of putting together a team for this quest I don't mind just telling you where it is.
