Pinball



Pinball is a random event where the player is transported by the Mysterious Old Man to a strange room with five pillars and two trolls wielding large clubs.(Note that this random event happens frequently when teleporting)



The object of the game is to tag each pillar that has glowing rings around it. This scores the player one point. After he or she scores ten points they are free to leave through the exit. If a pillar that doesn't have the glowing rings around it is tagged, the score is reset to zero and the player must try again.



If the player tries to leave before they reach ten points, the two trolls, Tilt and Flippa, will knock the player back into the play area, dealing them some damage.

Rewards


Once players manage to complete the game they are transported back to where they were taken from and rewarded with a variable amount of noted gems. The music tune Pinball Wizard is also unlocked (see List of music).

Rewards

 * 5 noted sapphires
 * 5 noted emeralds
 * 5 noted rubies
 * 3 noted diamonds

Trivia
The pinball posts have different runes rotating on top of them.

Context of Theme


This random event is themed on Pinball, an arcade game. The trolls are named after features of the machine - "tilt" is when players cheat by physically moving the machine to steer the ball (and the mechanism that detects this), and the two flippers are used to deflect the ball back into the playing field when it rolls out of play (see also Glossary of pinball terms at Wikipedia).

The tune unlocked in this random event is named after Pinball Wizard, a song by The Who.
