Signature!
Raves @Enadonella for sheer awesomeness!
Raves @Lillie for some great rp! Please stick around more!
Fiabelhie Stillriver and her quest don't resemble any of that in the least. We asked for "at need", we got "mandatory all the time for everyone". We asked for "small", we got "way too long". We asked for something that affected "just us", we got something that creates aggro mobs that attack "everyone". The only thing she and her quest have in common with what we asked for and designed are that they are a quest and there is a "bad person" involved.
As for just releasing her: it doesn't work like that. We'd have to wait and let all of the strands on the Lock decay, which takes at least ten RL days if no one works on it in the meantime. So, she could be released if everyone stops working on it for ten days (and it has happened before), but it would take a while.
And we have tried to do something different with her. Oh, we have tried. No results yet.
I'll add to that by saying I love the concept of her from an RP side, it's just the mandatory nature of quest that makes it awful in addition parts of the quest design are not very good.
We've made suggestions that range down to things as simple as removing some of the RNG and tediousness of the quest, to even just adding karma to the quest (yes the mandatory quest doesn't even give karma).
So yeah, overall it is frustrating to the point where I just give guild credits to people for doing the quest and I've pretty low expectations for change. I would hate to see the concept of a lurking evil we keep trapped away done away with completely. But the implementation is just urgh.

A shimmering liquid appears in your inventory smelling sweetly of something carbonated. It vanishes in a puff of silver smoke seconds later.

I write things
You follow Slaay Arcanis De'Unnero Slaay up to enclosure overlooking mountains of trash. (25831)
Arcanis claps his hands together merrily.
You give the corpse of Overlord Rhulwain d'Lardick to Commander Afmecia n'Rotri.
Your karma rises in response to your deeds.
You have gained a new honour!
Commander Afmecia n'Rotri says, "Well done, soldier."

(Tremula's Crits): Arcanis says, "Okay Trem. GIve rhulwain to Afmecia."
Arcanis nods his head emphatically.
Commander Afmecia n'Rotri says, "Now that we've cut off the head of the snake, we'll power up our machine and make sure this doesn't happen again."
Commander Afmecia n'Rotri opens up a hatch on an iron machine covered in pipes and shoves the corpse of Rhulwain d'Lardick into the machine.
The machine begins to burn with an inky black aura laced with sickly green hues.
The aura around the machine begins to swell until the entire room is awash with dark energy that sends a chill down your spine.
You gasp as the energy seizes your mind, sending you reeling with visions of the past.
(Tremula's Crits): You say, "We clear the zombies on the road, and we're done. Yeah?"
Through a hazy green cloud you see Taint erupting from the Stone of Truth in Magnagora, washing over the assembled citizenry.
Through a hazy green cloud you see those immobilized by fear transformed into anguished undead, locked forever in their state of despair.
(Tremula's Crits): Arcanis says, "FINALLY THE PAST."
Through a hazy green cloud you see those who try to fight transformed into hulking zombies, lost to their rage for all eternity.
As your vision begins to clear, you spot Rhulwain d'Lardick standing among the citizens, cackling madly to himself before a piercing pain in your head brings you back to the present.
The energy around the machine begins to fade, though it hums with a raw power that begs for you to link with it.
(Tremula's Crits): Esca says, "What."
You reach out and touch an iron machine covered in pipes.
As your hands contact the surface of the machine, the necromantic energies funnel into your body and you feel your own power swell.

In other words, it was worth the flak I'm getting.

Raving for the buzz of activity within Glomdoring and all the awesome folks involved!
