2011 Hallowe'en event

The 2011 Hallowe'en event, Deathcon II, was released on 17 October 2011. The event consists of three puzzles that have to be solved and features Living on Borrowed Time as the emote reward and a Deathcon t-shirt and hourglass as item rewards. The quest can be started at the western of the Clan Camp.

Players may bring Eek for additional dialogue.

Starting Out
To start the event, talk to Frank to the west of the clan camp. He will tell you about the Deathcon and how he needs your help. He will give you a Deathcon lanyard.

Go through the clan portal to the east of Frank with the Lanyard and select the option to enter the deathcon. You will now find yourself in the Grim Reaper's Citadel.

Statues (Beauty)
Follow the path to where you see a moving statue named Beauty. Talk to her and she will tell you that you must set up statues as decorations. The first stage of this is picking a statue for each clan member. She will describe what each member likes and you must select the appropriate creature for their statues. The following statues should be chosen:
 * Pestilence - Skeleton
 * Frank - Glacor
 * Death - Green Dragon
 * Famine - Giant Spider
 * War - Demon Warlord

After the correct statues have been chosen for each member, you must go to the welcome portal to place the statues. You must place them in the correct spots based on the information given by Beauty about their preferences.

Guide for Statues placement:

Facing North, starting at the top, and moving right to the middle, then down and left to the South: You must speak to Beauty again before you can enter the Grim Reapers tent.
 * 1) (North) - Pestilence (Skeleton Statue)
 * 2) (Northeast) - Frank (Glacor Statue)
 * 3) (East) - Death (Green Dragon)
 * 4) (Southeast) - Famine (Giant Spider)
 * 5) (South) - War (Demon Warlord)

Dancefloor (Infinity)
From the portal, go West down the path, then North to the large building that looks like a castle and head upstairs. Talk to Infinity to start the puzzle, who is the spider DJ presiding over the dancefloor.

Infinity will tell you that help is needed to turn on the lights underneath the dancefloor in order to create a picture on it. You will be given an Dance floor manual with instructions as to how this can be done.

The dancefloor-puzzle is a nonogram. Clicking on a tile causes you to go and stamp on it to turn it on. Only the tile that you click on will change colour (not all that you step on). If you accidentally light the wrong tile, clicking on it will turn it off again.

You have to stomp on all the tiles which the picture to the right shows. Do not step on the black tiles or you will have to step on them again to change them back. They can be done in any order, so simply clicking on all the red tiles as shown on the picture should do the trick.

Fireworks (Frank)
Go to Frank on the roof. He needs help in lighting the fireworks on top of the roof. To do this, you must instruct his chicken (named Horses) in order to get him to reach and light each of the fireworks. Horses moves like a knight in chess except he cannot jump over obstacles (two step forward and one to the side, in any direction).

To move Horses, simply click on the tile you want him to move to. Remember, Horses can only move in an L-shape direction. Clicking on a tile he cannot reach in this way will not cause him to move.

This puzzle can be solved in 30 steps going to all four fireworks in one path. See the above image for the path taken in numbered steps to set off all of the fireworks. Note that the camera angle is not facing North, but facing East.

Finishing
Once all three clan members have been helped, talk to Death in the R.I.P. Tent. This is near the notice board. He will remember you from last year if you did the event. He will give you your reward: A Deathcon II T-Shirt, Hourglass wielded as a shield, and the "Living on Borrowed Time" emote.

Rewards



 * Hjkhj.pngcon lanyard - "An all access pass for Deathcon II."
 * Deathcon t-shirt - "Been there, done that, got this."
 * Hourglass (members only) - "There's not much sand left in the top half..."
 * Living on Borrowed Time - Emote, as well as all the previous Hallowe'en emotes you have yet to unlock. (with the exeption of scared)

Trivia

 * Pestilences skeleton plinth appears to be in a "paint me like one of your French girls" pose, a reference to a popular internet meme.
 * On the message board, Death says that there will be a special event in the clan theatre on Saturday 29 October (at 14:00 GMT). Also, if you go to the roof of the clan keep and click on the theatre entrance, you can't go in and an NPC called Fame tells you to "Come back when the Deathcon noticeboard says so." This probably refers to the special event on Saturday.
 * Con stands for convention, and much like a real-life con there are NPCs cosplaying Death. They are wearing older Hallowe'en reward costumes, such as the skeleton set, the witch costume\warlock costume, or the Grim reaper hood. In addition, one of the rewards is a T-shirt, much like con T-shirts handed out at real conventions.
 * The names 'Death', 'Famine', and 'War' are the names of the three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, referenced in the last book of The New Testament of the Christian Bible. The fourth, 'Pestilence,' is widely regarded as the Fourth Horsemen in popular culture, replacing the rider 'Conquest' mentioned in Scripture.
 * Frank tells you to 'assume direct control' of Horses whenever you are ready. "Assuming direct control" is a meme, originating from Mass Effect 2.
 * There is currently a glitch that allows players to get inside the tables on the first floor of the keep (the dancefloor). This is accomplished by sitting on the south side of one of the tables, logging out and back in, then sitting on the bench twice more. Once inside the table, players cannot move, and must teleport to get out.
 * When you talk to Beauty, she says "War, what is he good for?", which is a reference to the famous song "War" by Edwin Starr.
