Key Quest

2011-10-21T19:12:46Z

66.188.126.235: This re-write is going to take awhile. Let's just start with a little bit at a time.

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/keyquest/whatiskq.jpg
|}

'''Key Quest''' is a virtual [[Wikipedia:Online game|online]] [[Wikipedia:Multiplayer video game|multi-player]] [[Wikipedia:Board game|board game]] that is available for users to play on the [[Neopets]] website. The game was first announced on February 6, 2008, and [[Wikipedia:Software release life cycle#Beta|open beta testing]] of the game began on July 29, 2008. The game was fully released on October 18, 2008.

==How to play==
You begin your turn by either rolling the dice or playing a power up. If you choose to play a power up, you will still get to roll the dice afterwards. The number of tiles you move is equal to the amount you roll on the dice. If you come to a junction in the board, yellow arrows will pop up. To choose the way that you wish to go, simply click the arrow of the direction. The types of different tiles are: Home, Neopoint, Key, Powerup, Minigame, Portal, Location, Character, Alignment, and Treasure.

As you pass the neopoint, key, teleport or powerup tiles, they will activate. To activate all other tiles, you need to land on them.

You'll get 50 NP, a key, or powerup for passing the neopoint, key, and powerup tiles, respectively. Getting to a portal tile will give you the option of going through the portal or not.

If a player lands on a location tile, they get 200 NP. And if they land on the treasure tile, they get somewhere between 300-1000 NP, a random powerup, and a key of their choice.

Also, when a player lands on the same square as another player, they can choose whether to have a duel with them or not. A duel is playing rock, paper, scissors with them, and the winner chooses a power-up out of 3 randomly selected ones.

The person who is the first to reach the exit after getting all the keys they needed wins the game.
*A '''2 key''' game gives lead to the winner and nothing to second to fourth.
*A '''3 key''' game gives bronze to the winner, lead to second and nothing to third and fourth.
*A '''4 key''' game gives silver to the winner, bronze to second, lead to third and nothing to fourth.
*A '''5 key''' game gives gold to the winner, silver to second, bronze to third and lead to fourth.

Note: When there are ties for 2nd or 3rd place, two or more players can get the same type of key for their prize.

==Types of Boards==

==Key Quest tokens==
{{Main|Key Quest token}}

Within the game of Key Quest, each player is represented on the board by a token. These tokens usually depict a Neopet or a famous Neopets' character. When a user plays their first game of Key Quest, they are randomly given one of four starter tokens with which to play the game. To receive additional tokens, users must redeem one of the [[virtual prize codes]] found on real life Neopets merchandise or buy the tokens from the [[NC Mall]] using [[Neocash]]. Key Quest tokens are also occasionally given out as part of a site events, such as the [[Advent Calendar]] or the [[Daily Dare]].

Each Key Quest token is associated with one of six elements. If a player lands on a elemental tile that matches the element of their current token, they will be rewarded. If they land on a elemental tile that does not match the element of their current token, they will be hexed.

Cellblock

2009-09-28T11:44:05Z

66.188.92.63: /* Playing Tips */

{{Construction| reason=Article being rewritten}}

'''Cellblock''' is a strategy board game similar to [[Wikipedia:Gomoku|Gomoku]]. It is played in the dungeons of [[Darigan Citadel]] by [[Master Vex]], who created the game and challenges his prisoners and promising freedom should they beat him (no one has), but merely lies to pass the time with them. It was released on January 28, 2003.

==Gameplay==
Users play against a computer to be the first to line up an unbroken row of five pieces horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. To progress through the game, users challenge the opponents by paying a challenge fee with [[Neopoint]]s, and beat successively harder opponents in a "best of ''x''" style contest. As the opponents get harder, the number of rounds it takes to beat them in raises with it. Once all opponents are defeated in the first tournament, a new tournament is started with more difficult opponents. If a user loses against any opponent, they can face off against them again, but need to pay the challenge fee.

In the first tournament four pieces of both players are set in an "X" in the middle of the board, and users can only place new game piece next to another game piece on the board. In Tournament 2-10, pieces can be placed anywhere on the game board, and in Tournament 11 and beyond, zero game pieces on the board, and rock hazards are placed to block gameplay, requiring the user to use a different strategy.

A reward of 4 times the Neopoints used to challenge an opponent is given for each opponent defeated, with a maximum of 5000 Neopoints each day (similar to other games such as [[Pyramids]] and [[Scarab 21]]). Upon reaching this max, Cellblock can no longer be played until the next day. Reaching this max is will take several games of play to reach, but after playing up to tournament 11, the max can be reached in just a few rounds.

==Playing Tips==
* Try to form an unblocked "three" (three in a row) each turn.
* Never let the opponent keep an unblocked three.
* If you have an unblocked four, you can not be stopped from winning.
* Try to cluster your threes in clumps to make automatic threes and blocked fours.
** A good trick is to make threes in such a way that you make three(s) in other directions - two or more unblocked threes means that you will make an unblocked four and there is nothing they can do.

Master the basic techniques and understand that the AI makes the same mistakes every time and you can soon develop a pattern to thrash this player without really thinking.

===Secret Threes===
As well as having three in a row, something that is more subtle but just as good is 1-space-2 this is also considered a three but is slightly more powerful as another stone at either end or the middle could make it a four.

Even better but very hard to get is 1-space-1-space-1. It's harder to spot (for you) and can easily become an unblocked four.

==Quick win solution==
:''Note: This is not the only possible solution to win the game.''

[[Image:Winner-on-cellblock.png|right]]This guide is aimed at players of [[Cellblock]] who wish to overcome the more challenging levels or just generally improve their gameplay. Reading this guide should grant you at least enough knowledge to win the bronze.

The screenshot (to the right) shows the final position that should be your aim in every game you play. The player can choose between two possible locations and no matter where the computer blocks the player is going to win.

This didn't happen by chance but by planning, cunning and playing to win. To know the usual strategy of the [[Wikipedia:AI|AI]] can also be helpful.

If you have read the playing tips section on the [[Cellblock]] page you will have a general idea what we are going to do, namely to set up a winning situation that the computer can not block.

In this guide you will see how to apply those ideas into a playing plan and thrash your way to a (small) fortune.

The game is still not going to be "easy" but it will be simpler to get at those all elusive victories (especially later when the AI stops throwing the game).

You will be able to learn, for example, that victory is often gained in the first three or four moves of a game.

You will see the very game that got me this screen shot and for the main part you should be able to repeat the game as the AI can be astoundingly thick at times and easily predictable.

The rule is simple: '''get him on the ropes and keep him there'''. Force his move so you are playing both sides in your favour.

<br style="clear:both" />

[[Image:Cellblock1.PNG|right]]The opening nine moves are shown here but what I will explain is not the where (you can see that) but the reason fot the particular placements so that you will understand the reasoning and be able to apply it for yourself.

The first big hint is that the computers second move is always the same and always very very weak. So we get two of the three moves needed to set up a win to start with.

You go first and create a row of three from your two. At higher levels you will not get this start so practice now.

The computer blocks. It is also possible that the computer will move somewhere else and give you the game.

You '''do not''' extend your "dead three" into a four but make a rather strange move (you block the other guy to create a 1-gap-gap-1). A strong move would be to attempt a three back at you but the computer (robbed of it's only obvious three making) makes a weak move and blocks the three again at the other end. It nearly always does this.

From there we are able to convert our strange move into a row of four with a stone missing: 2-gap-1. We do this ''not '' to get the four (although a quick game would be nice) but to misdirect the computer into blocking while we set up a new two-diagonal that we can make into a three in making it a three we set the same up again.

The computer rightly blocks our potential four (or next turn the game would be over).

However we have no interest in the potential four as we move on to that three diagonal down and left.
In my game the computer blocked me at the top (it usually does) and so I extended three to a four and force the computer to place a stone at the very bottom of the screen. This gives me a foundation to ''build new threes on'' and is effectively a "free move" as control passes back to me without the computer having a say in the direction of the game.

From here I make another 3 and this sets up another three nicely. Each time we make him play block the player he can't do anything to further his win potential. We use this to build our win.

Move eight is another three (that places a stone for later). Move nine places another stone for later and forces the computer to again place a useless stone as a block.

<br style="clear:both" />

[[Image:Cellblock2.png|right]]What we have done is to prepare the game for our win. If you play the same moves as this you should almost always end up in the same situation but it is the idea behind the moves that makes them so good.

Now the first danger opens up - (Indicated by the red line) the only chance at a win the computer gets. Always be careful not to get the order wrong or instead of beating the computer you will allow it to win.

Move three of this next set (see picture) will set up the win.

First we make a diagonal 3 which the computer will block with a stone on the red line. Then we extend it to make another four (forces the computer to play below the red line). ''That force gave us another effective free move.''

This is when we place the stone on the square marked "3". We have a top to bottom 3 a diagonal 3 and a 2-space-1 which is just as good if not better.

From here on it is win or loose as the computer will make a four and threaten to force you to give up the advantage. If he does that you have no hope of winning. However keep your cool and win the day.

<br style="clear:both" />

[[Image:cellblock3.png|right]]Now we close in for the kill. Notice we have a three that forms a possible five (winning row) that overlaps with the danger line. We set this up quite deliberately. We block and make a four.

Now you have done something very clever. You killed the threat and set up a four that the computer '''must block''' or lose the game to you. While he's blocking the four he can't be stopping that 2-gap-1.

So you can then place a stone in the gap of your 2-gap-1 and bingo - four unblocked in a row. Now two squares can be used to convert that to a winning five and the computer has only one move - where-ever he goes you go the other and win.

The game is yours. Well done.

This was achieved with a little insight and a little forward planning. Every game you play can be this easy. Remember what we did was to play in such a way that we forced the computer to make moves we wanted it to, setting ourselves up for new three's and fours every turn while building a critical mass to make a winning set-up.

==The Return of Dr. Sloth==
:''Main Article: [[The Return of Dr. Sloth]]''

When Zorlix and Xarthab inherited the mines of [[Kreludor]] from their father, Zorlix believed that since he was the older sibling, he should have the final say in how the mines were run. Xarthab, on the other hand, believed that he should run the mines. As their argument intensified, the Grundos of Kreludor split up, the Purple Grundos siding with Zorlix and the Orange Grundos siding with Xarthab.

Eventually, Zorlix was convinced by his advisor, [[Parlax]], that his brother was planning a rebellion against him. To prevent this supposed rebellion, Zorlix and his Purple Grundo followers attacked Xarthab and his Orange Grundo followers. Believing that his brother was trying to eliminate him, Xarthab fought back, igniting a civil war among the Grundos.

Not the most physically gifted player around, with low speed and scoring/passing ability, Selwick does provide plenty of toughness, effort and energy (unlike most of her teammates), and excels at blocking.

Chocolate

66.188.98.24: Typo fix

'''Chocolate''' is a [[colour]] of [[Neopet|Neopet]] and [[Petpet]]. In general, Chocolate pets look like they are made out of chocolate and other sweets. Chocolate colored Neopets were first released on February 18th, 2005. Since there are no Chocolate [[Paint Brush|Paint Brushes]] or [[Morphing Potions]], Chocolate coloured Neopets can only be obtained by completing a [[Rainbow Fountain|Fountain Faerie Quest]] or by using the [[Treasure Maps#Secret Laboratory|Lab Ray]]. Chocolate Petpets were released along with the [[Treasure Maps#Petpet Laboratory|Petpet Lab Ray]] on August 3rd, 2005. Since using the Petpet Lab Ray is the only way of obtaining a Chocolate Petpet, and Petpets that have been zapped by the Petpet Lab Ray revert to their original form when removed from a Neopet, it is impossible for a user to have a Chocolate Petpet in their inventory.

Petpet Protection League

2007-03-29T20:20:21Z

66.188.83.96: new petpet to list

{{PastFeatured}}

The '''Petpet Protection League''' (''PPL'' for short) is a group of [[Neopian]]s who reward [[Neopet]]s for taking good care of their [[Petpet]]. Each week they select a random Petpet and reward users whose Neopets have had them for the longest by paying 10 [[Neopoints]] for every day they have been owned. Users who have the oldest of that selected Petpet receive a [[Trophy]] as well.

Neopets who take their Petpet to the [[Treasure_Maps#Petpet_Laboratory|Petpet Laboratory]] are exempt from the PPL, as it's viewed as a form of cruelty against Petpets.

'''The Tale of Woe''' is a [[plot]] based in the [[Haunted Woods]] and entails the release of [[Neovia]]. It began on October 2, 2006, and appears to be designed to coincide with [[Wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]]. The plot follows the travels of [[Gilly]], who first appeared as the star of [[The Castle of Eliv Thade]].

==Plot Summary==
{{spoiler}}
===The Gypsy Camp===
Deep within the Haunted Woods users happen upon a [[Gypsy Camp]], where a Pink [[Elephante]] greets and warns them of the dangers of the woods - "[...] Trees and creatures roam the night, and they can swallow the unwary. It's no accident that so many legends and myths surround this place [...]" - and reads the user a story of [[Gilly]], when she visited the Camp and heard the story of Neovia...

===The Legend of Neovia===
The Elephante began his tale of a family of [[Edmund]] and [[Alice]], and their three children: sons [[Bruno]] and [[Reginald]], and daughter [[Sophie]] (who the Elephante avoids mentioning until his story is almost over). They lived in [[Neovia]], and had many troubles. Bruno sought the affection of [[Lily]], but lacked the charm and strength to court her, and was not helped in his attempts by [[Oscar]], Lily's current protective companion.

After Oscar hit Bruno for talking to Lilly, Bruno resigned to his fate but stumbled upon [[Mr. Krawley]], who offered him a potion which would make all his troubles go away for only a few [[Neopoints]]. After drinking the potion, the very next day he was handsome, strong and much more presentable to Lily.

Edmund claimed Bruno was foolish to take such an action, complaining that one must work for success. However, when he was offered the potion by [[Mr. Krawley]], he reluctantly took it to resolve the family's financial hardship. Like Bruno, the elixir worked and he became rich within the next few days. With the testimonials of Bruno and his father, word of the potions spread quickly. When Reginald took a potion as well, increasing his intelligence and knowledge, the popularity of the elixir was assured. Before long, everyone was taking the potions to have their wishes - such things as height, beauty and youth - granted with a single swig, and only the innocent, such as [[Sophie]], refrained from drinking the potion.

The potion seemed to give everyone in Neovia happiness... but as the days passed, the effects of the potion continued to make their wishes more twisted. Edmund became suspicious of everyone, carefully guarding over his fortune. Bruno became a muscular, deformed monster. Reginald became lonely, seeking refuge in his books when people couldn't stand to talk to him and his great intellect. Curses like this spread to everyone who drank the potion, and the angry town joined together and searched for [[Mr. Krawley]], only to find he had disappeared. They then decided to put the blame on the family which advertised the elixir, and attacked Edmund's home.

Bruno ran outside to distract the villagers while Reginald and Sophie sneaked out the back and ran for the woods. In the forest, they encountered [[Ilere]], who said Sophie had no where else to go but in her care. Reginald refused such an action, but relented when Sophie went of her own free will, saying she felt safe with Ilere. Returning back to Neovia, Reginald saw Bruno being chased into the woods outside of town, and escorted his parents to an abandoned mansion on the other side of town, used in the past for games of hide-and-seek.

Bruno lost those chasing him in the forest, and when the towns people returned they attacked, determined for retribution. Suddenly, the Mayor of the town stopped them, realizing they must be cured before they can hold those responsible to account. The Neovians summon [[The Spirit of Slumber]], who cures them with magic, but extracts a terrible price...

===The Ruins of Neovia===
[[Image:Tow locket1.gif|frame|The locket that was found in the ghost town.]]
The story ends and Gilly goes to sleep, and after a night's rest she sets out into the woods and stumbles upon Neovia itself. The small town is in ruins, but after looking through a burnt wreck of a house she found a strange silver locket hidden, with the picture inside decayed beyond recognition.

Gilly headed to the [[Deserted Fairground]] and took the locket to [[Lyanka]], of the [[Cork Gun Gallery]]; [[Leeroy]], of the [[Coconut Shy]]; [[Harker]], of the [[Bagatelle]] stall; and [[Ssidney]], of [[Ssidney's Scratch Cards]]. None of them knew who the owner was, although some seemed impressed with the metalwork and one mentioned they were quite popular a long time ago. Heading back to Neovia for more information, she discovers a path leading to a hut in the swampy part of the woods.

===Bruno's Cave===
[[Image:Sophies shack.gif|frame|left|Sophie's Shack.]]
At the hut, Gilly met the adult Sophie, who snatched the locket and shouted for the Usul to leave and not to disturb her. Gilly ran off through the rain and took shelter in a cave. Inside, amongst strange, old artifacts, she was stalked by a dark creature. By arranging a mirror, a broken lamp post, and a chair around a pile of food for bait, Gilly managed to get the monster to eat some of the food, leap back from its own reflection, and stumble across the lamp post and into the chair, where it banged its head and fell into the moonlight, revealing itself to be the horribly disfigured Bruno.

Taking pity on Bruno for her actions, even though he was trying to scare her, Gilly approached him, only to be chased outside of the cave. Gilly ran all the way back to Sophie's hut, asking to be let in from the chasing Bruno, and Sophie answered the door angrily, but calmed into shock when she saw Bruno was alive.

Exposition ensues as brother and sister relate their stories: Bruno, hiding from the townspeople, had hidden in the deepest, darkest recesses of the Haunted Woods, never daring to return to Neovia. Sophie, on the other hand, had indeed gone with Ilere... only to be given a chest with "all you need to survive", as well as the hut, and effectively left to fend for herself.

Sophie explained that some days after she had settled into the hut, she returned to Neovia to find only deserted buildings. Sophie returned several times in the weeks that followed, but there was no sign of what had happened to the residents - until she visited the town on Halloween night.

When Sophie returned to Neovia that night, its streets bustled with life again. She noticed something was wrong, however. The Neovian's faces were blank, they walked about doing their daily actions in silence - no speech, no play, no desire or thought or emotion: Just action, without need. Upon accidentally touching one of the returned townsmen, she put her hand straight through him. Sophie quickly concluded that they were not physically there, and returned to her hut to work on a cure. The next day, however, the town was once again deserted. For ten years, Sophie revealed, she had been working to cure the Neovians, and had little else left to try.

Gilly, almost forgotten in the exchange between brother and sister, spoke up, remembering the Gypsy Elephante's story. She explained the Spirit of Slumber's involvement, realizing that this must be the "terrible price" mentioned in the story - while the spirit restored them to their forms before their use of Mr Krawley's potion, the residents of Neovia were no longer aware of themselves, unable to enjoy their restoration. Sophie is skeptical that this will help at all, but finally elects to try for information from Ilere. She's even more reluctant to bring Gilly along, but Bruno pleads the Usul's case; she relents, providing Gilly won't "... get in the way. Got it."

===Finding Ilere===
[[Image:Ileres tree.gif|frame|right|Ilere's residence, deep in the Haunted Woods.]]
After much searching, the trio finally found their way to Ilere's home - a large and admittedly spooky tree, deep in the heart of the woods. They inquired within, and Ilere acknowledged Sophie. Sophie explained that they needed her help to restore the people of Neovia, and Gilly explained that it was a spell cast by the Spirit of Slumber.

Ilere claimed that the Spirit of Slumber had power "not to be trifled with", and that her visitors should abandon their efforts before they got hurt.

Suddenly, an enraged Bruno attacked Ilere, who brought up a shield of green magic. Before anything further could develop, Sophie caught the Faerie and her brother in a magical spell. Bruno explained that he could feel Ilere's power, and it was great; yet she had done nothing to help Neovia ten years ago, and refused to even give a helping word.

Ilere acknowledged that the three were not as weak as she had thought; when prompted by Sophie, she told them that the Spirit of Slumber was an ancient, powerful spirit of a Neopet that had died long ago. The Earth Faerie said that there were others in the Haunted Woods that would be better versed on the legends surrounding the creature.

As the trio turned to leave, Ilere spoke once more. "Sophie... for your own sake... I hope you fail."

===Seeking the Spirit===

As Bruno groused over Ilere's lack of help, Gilly had an idea; since they needed to know who the Spirit of Slumber was, why not ask the Brain Tree? Sophie refused; she said that she had had a bad experience with the Brain Tree, and refused to elaborate. Gilly, brimming with enthusiasm, started dragging her along, only to receive a blast of Sophie's magic as a blatant refusal.

Bruno rebuked her - Gilly was only a little girl, after all, and the Brain Tree likely had information they needed. Blasting her was completely uncalled for. Reluctantly apologizing, Sophie finally accepted their new destination.

The Brain Tree offered the trio the Spirit's name, but required its date of death before hand. On visiting the Esophagor (as users do on Brain Tree Quests, and over Sophie's considerably-milder objection) in order to find the date of death, the Esophagor pleaded ignorance; because the Spirit of Slumber had not truly died, he required the name in order to give the date.

This stymied Gilly, as it created a circular paradox; they needed the name to get the date, and the date to get the name. Sophie, however, had an idea; if they could find the Spirit of Slumber's earthly bones, she could brew a potion that would tell them his date of death. In answer to Bruno's observation that, without the Spirit's name, they couldn't know which grave was his, Sophie answered, "It's obvious; we'll have to dig up every grave in the Haunted Woods." Her brother and Gilly gulped in understandable fear at the thought.

==Plot Solution==

===Finding the Locket===

In [[Neovia]], the user must visit the burnt-down, although fairly structurally intact, house in the lower right section of the [http://www.neopets.com/halloween/hwp/neovia.phtml Neovia map]. At this point in the plot, this house is the only visitable place in the town.

Every co-ordinate of the map is linked, but only certain key co-ordinates produce an individual result. These co-ordinates are:

*(67,201) -- Chair
*(80,135) -- Fireplace
*(147,218) -- Couch End
*(150,115) -- Bookcase
*(175,145) -- Crack in the Wall
*(186,186) -- Sofa Couch
*(210,130) -- Broken Staircase
*(235,232) -- Broken Boards
*(308,199) -- Pillow Spring
*(364,195) -- Table Leg

The co-ordinates exist in the URL of the links. The structure of the URL used in conjunction with the locations in the map follow the following format: '''<nowiki>http://www.neopets.com/halloween/hwp/neovia.phtml?hvh=</nowiki>''[House Code Identifier]''?''[x,y]''''' thus the co-ordinates can be manipulated by changing them at the end of the URL link. This makes hopping to the above locations very easy.

When visiting the locations above, there will be one of the ten (which is random for each user) where Gilly finds the charred silver locket. A form button will appear beneath the locket, which when clicked will add the locket to the Quest Inventory.

===At the Fairground===

After the locket has been gained, the user must head to the [[Deserted Fairground]], where the following four characters will talk to Gilly about the locket she has found:

*Harker the [[Lupe]], at the Bagatelle stall.
*Lyanka the [[Aisha]], at the Cork Gun Gallery.
*Leeroy the [[Quiggle]], at the Coconut Shy.
*Ssidney the [[Nimmo]], at Ssidney's Scratch Cards.

The conversations appear bellow the games themselves. There have been some bugs where the conversations do not appear. Methods of rectifying it include clearing one's cache, refreshing, or playing one of the four games.

Each of the characters will give a different conversation, and while these are four set characters, it is random for each user which character has which conversation. Each conversation starts with one of the following opening lines:

*"Why, certainly, little miss... Well, what a pretty little trinket this is. I haven't seen one like it in years."
*"Amazing! I haven't seen such metalwork in, oh, must be ten years. Where did you say you found it?"
*"That piece of junk? It looks like a hundred other lockets I've seen."
*"It looks familiar... where did you get it? I know someone who'd pay a thousand Neopoints for that locket, though. At least, I used to. Haven't seen her in ages."

When the characters are visited so that the conversations appear in the above order, Gilly will decide that nobody will help her there. Back in Neovia, a small path that leads away from the town becomes hyperlinked to a new site, Sophie's Shack.

===At the Cave===

After visiting Sophie's Shack, Sophie will run the user off. Clicking the form button bellow, "Flee in Terror", will bring Gilly to a dark cave. Clicking the "Go into the scary cave..." button will send Gilly inside.

The cave is unique to everyone, but consists of a 3 x 3 grid of rooms, which all have at least one doorway into them. In the cave, there are several items, some of which can be carried and some of which can't. The chest and the table cannot be picked up, but the lamppost, chair, mirror, rotten food, and key can. Additionally, at least one of the rooms will have a pool of moonlight in the centre.

The user can pick up one object at a time, and can be placed down at a certain co-ordinate in the same way as the user searched for the locket in Neovia.

When moving about the cave, occasionally the message "Something seems to be following you..." will appear under the picture of the room. It will eventually catch up with you, and it will scare Gilly into a random room. By placing the Rotten Food object on the ground in one of the rooms, when the monster passes through it, they will, instead of scaring Gilly into a random location, stop and eat. They will then become disoriented and run off to a random room.

The user must set up a trap in a moonlit room in order to illuminate the creature. To do this, the following items must be placed at the following co-ordinates of a room with a pool of moonlight in the centre:

*Mirror at (240,330).
*Lamppost at (240,215).
*Chair at (235,160), or sometimes (225,155).
*Rotten Food at (330,325).

When the monster follows Gilly into the room, it will eat the bait, see its reflection in the mirror, stumble backwards over the lamppost, crack its head on the chair and collapse into the light.

===Into the Woods===

When the user returns to Sophie's Shack, a section of dialogue will be visible of the troupe - Gilly, Sophie and Bruno - where they decide to head out to find Ilere.

There are three sections to find Ilere, each section works in a similar way. Each section is a [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|Flash]] maze, where you will see a screen with several paths leading from it. One of these (except for the first screen of each maze) will take the user back to the previous screen. In each section, there is an item, or several items, that must be collected to advance.

====The Swamp====

In the first section, there is a two-headed [[Hissi]] blocking one of the paths. When the user clicks on him, they are told that one of the Hissi's heads will always speak the truth, and the other will always lie. The Hissi is too busy arguing with himself to listen to any questions you give it, so the problem cannot be solved simply by using logic.

The user must find a stick in the maze, and click on it to bring it into their Quest Inventory. The user must then return to the Hissi and, by clicking on the stick in the inventory then on the Neopet, prod it. One of the Hissi's heads will deny that you poked it, so the other head must be telling the truth. This opens the way into the next section.

====The High Woods====

In the section segment, there is a clearing somewhere in the woods where there is a break in the trees. This is where there is a cliff, and to proceed, you must descend it.

Around the maze are five types of vine, six of each, which can be picked up in the same manner as the stick in the previous section. These vines must be assembled in a combination, random to each person, to construct a rope for a descent of the cliff.

An effective way of determining which combination to use is to drop all vines at the clearing by clicking them in the inventory and clicking on the terrain, putting them into piles of type, and then trying with six of each in one's inventory until the user is shown a cutscene of the cliff, where the rope is too short. The user should add a vine from the next pile to the inventory, and continue doing so, testing after each vine, until the vine becomes too weak or the bottom is reached. In the former event, the last vine added should be removed, and a vine from the next pile included, with the process continuing.

Once the vine-rope reaches the base of the cliff, the three Neopets will climb down, and the next section will start. Note that it is possible to construct a rope with more than three sets of vines, but inadvisable; the rope will then be snatched away by a monster, and the vines scattered through the woods again.

====The Deep Woods====

In this maze, the object is to collect the seven ghost [[Meepits]], and then use them to open the lock to Ilere's tree residence.

When the user first encounters a Meepit in the forest, it will run away. After this happens, the user must play [[Meepit Juice Break]] and send a score of 400 points or more. This will place a glass of Meepit Juice into the Quest Inventory. The next time a Meepit is encountered, clicking on this in the inventory, then clicking on the Meepit, will offer the juice to the [[Petpet]]. The juice will splash through it, however, and it will run off. Sophie will turn the Meepit Juice into Ghost Meepit Juice, and when the above procedure is repeated, this time the Meepit will become entranced and follow as part of the Quest Inventory.

Once all seven Meepits are collected, Ilere's tree must be found. It is covered by a stone barricade, engraved with runes, and seven spots of light sit on the floor in front of it. Clicking on the Meepit picture in the Quest Inventory, then on the floor, will cause the seven Meepits to hop onto the spots. The Meepits must be rearranged, by clicking two adjacent the Ghost Meepits (which will exchange their positions), until all the Meepits are dancing. Visual hints make this relatively simple:

* Happy Meepits are one space from their proper position.
* Staring Meepits are two spaces from their proper position.
* Sad Meepits are more than two spaces from their proper position.

As there are only seven positions, this reduces the possibilities to two for each Meepit.

When all the Meepits dance, the stone door will move and Ilere's home will be open.

===The Graveyard===

The user next needs to find the graveyard of the Spirit. At the [[Game Graveyard]], there is a new picture of The Caretaker's Vault: click on it to enter.

The Caretaker (an easily-angered blue Yurble) angrily informs the user that his indices are missing. Without them, he cannot locate a the graveyard or grave of anyone.

The books must be found. If the user plays [[Fetch!]] on hard difficulty, they will find somewhere in the maze a pile of books. When the user reaches it, as it's certainly not what the Master asked for, you'll be told to "Flee", with that being the only button on the page.

After clicking the "Fleeing sounds pretty good right now..." button, the Fetch! game is over; when the user returns to the Caretaker's vault, the Yurble will be happy to see the return of his records.

===Grave Digging===

With the indices carefully checked, the user then must begin to search for the correct grave. There are three different tasks to perform as part of this section: digging up the graves, retrieving potion ingredients to increase the drops of potion available, and using the potion on dug up bones in order to determine if it is a bone from the Spirit of Slumber.

These tasks are not performed in sequence and finished in the same way as finding Ilere. Every single grave from a multitude of graveyards must be dug up, and every single grave tested with the potion. It is a dauntingly huge task, but fortunately, every user working on the plot works together, much like working on the repository of the [[Lost Desert Plot]].

To start searching for the Spirit's mortal body, the user must visit the Caretaker's Vault again and click the "Examine the graveyards list" button. Then, a graveyard must be selected from a list of graveyard designations, and the user is brought up to the graveyard's control panel, where each task can be selected.

====Digging Up Graves====

This section of the plot began October 20, 2006, and was completed October 23, 2006. The graveyards are no longer active.

Clicking the 'Enter graveyard' button brought the user to a map of the graveyard. The graveyard was divided up into many squares. The square the user was currently on was shown by a black border around the square. The user moved around the graveyard by clicking other squares to go to them (the user could only click on squares they could reach from their current position without walking over graves or barriers).

Many of the squares contained gravestones. If the gravestone had a small pile of dirt in front of it, it signified that the digging was underway. If there was a large section of dirt in front of it, it signified that the grave was open and empty. If there was a large section of dirt with bones in front of it, it signified that the grave was open and the coffin exposed. If there was no dirt in front of it, digging had yet to begin (although diggers may be waiting to commence).

To interact with a grave, the user had to be on a square adjacent to one, then click the grave's square.

To dig up a grave, there had to be four users (represented by their active Neopet) at the grave site, which then had to dig in sequence, each user's turn indicated to them by a pink highlight around their Neopet. To join a digging team, there had to be at least one empty space, shown by a question mark instead of a Neopet's image, around the grave, and then the form button "Join the diggers" was to be clicked. Between their turns at digging, the users clicked the "Wait" form button.

While digging, several items could be found by the users in the dirt. Most commonly, these were '''Spooky Doughnut'''s or '''Ghost Marshmallows''', but '''Fetch! Stamp'''s, '''Meowclops Statue'''s and '''Sludgy'''s could also be found, and there were claims that '''Halloween [[Paint Brush]]'''es had been dug up also.

If you were not quick enough in digging, you could be kicked out of the digging team. If this happened, or if you chose to leave the digging team once you had joined, you were unable to dig for some minutes. After a coffin had been successfully exhumed, the user became exhausted and had to wait several minutes before they could dig up graves again. (This is similar to an activity in the Lost Desert Plot, as remarked by many users. Due to a shortened time limit, however, dialup users experienced difficulty, as their page load times could exceed the time limit, causing them to be removed from their digging team on their first or second click.)

The graveyard could be left by leaving through the gate the user arrived next to. This took the user back to the control panel.

====Testing the Bones====

In order to test whether the dug up bones are those of the Spirit of Slumber, the user took some potion from the control panel, entered the graveyard and found an open grave. The user could "Wait" at a grave being dug up until the coffin was exhumed to test it, as well as looking for a coffin already available.

If the user was first to the coffin with the potion, they were asked to "Continue", and were then given the mass and volume of one of the bones. They were then asked to decide how many drops of potion, up to 250, were needed to test the bone correctly. The formula for working out the number of droplets needed was: ((mass/volume)^2)*25, that is, the mass divided by the volume, squared, times 25. The result was to be rounded to its nearest whole number.

After testing a bone, the user saw whether or not the bone was the Spirit's. If it wasn't, the user gained 150 [[NP]] and had to wait a while before being able to test a bone again. The user could return the potion to Sophie on the control panel after taking it if they were unable to, or did not wish to, test a bone. They would not be able to use the potion again for a few minutes.

====Finding Ingredients====

On the control panel, the third option was to retrieve ingredients for Sophie. She would give you the name of the ingredient, and the user would then visit her Shack (entering it by clicking on the door) and retrieve the appropriate ingredient. The user returned to Sophie, and was rewarded 50 NP if the vial is correct.

There were no labels on the potions in Sophie's Shack, however. At the end of the URL for each unlabeled ingredient was an ID number. The ID conformed to a certain ingredient. The known ID and ingredient matches were:

*'''ID 1''': Bagguss Juice
*'''ID 2''': Juppie Extract
*'''ID 3''': Kadoatie Essence
*'''ID 4''': Tanglevine Sap
*'''ID 5''': Liquid Chokato Mould
*'''ID 6''': Moonwater
*'''ID 7''': Liquid meepit
*'''ID 8''': Alyseth
*'''ID 9''': Bloatershroom Extract
*'''ID 10''': Liquified Bumroot
*'''ID 11''': Crushweed juice
*'''ID 12''': Boiled tree bark
*'''ID 13''': Worm snot
*'''ID 14''': Soaked Babaa Wool
*'''ID 15''': Spicy Mortogberry
*'''ID 16''': Jurple butter
*'''ID 17''': Boiled Meowclops Saliva
*'''ID 18''': Barkroot Dew
*'''ID 19''': Unknown
*'''ID 20''': Grundo Goo
*'''ID 21''': Powdered Bloodfern
*'''ID 22''': Pureed sharpgrass
*'''ID 23''': Mutant Gruel
*'''ID 24''': Evaporated Snorkle Juice
*'''ID 25''': Ghostbeef Essence
*'''ID 26''': Zomutt Mucus

==Quest Inventory==
This plot brought in a feature called the '''Quest Inventory''', where items discovered in the plot are stored. Items in this inventory cannot be used, traded, or stolen in the way items in the [[Inventory]] can, like previous plot quest items in the past.

==Trivia==
*An [[Aisha]] resembling [[Megan]] can be seen in images of the Gypsy camp.
*This plot seems to be based off the movie/book [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_Wicked_This_Way_Comes_%281983_movie%29 Something Wicked This Way Comes].
*When part 3 of the plot was released on October 13, 2006, the new section of the plot came upon many database issues, requiring [[The Neopets Team]] to move the database, replacing all pages relating to the plot with the following texts (as the errors were happening more than once)
**'''TEMPORARY DB MOVE - WILL BE BACK SHORTLY'''
**'''MORE DATABASE ISSUES -- GEEZ THERE'S A LOT OF YOU GUYS -- DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH'''
*On October 23, 2006 around 6:25 NST, the following message appeared when any user tried to access the graveyards or any other related pages along with an [http://images.neopets.com/halloween/hwp/graveyard/femur_glow_edbd8280f3.gif image of a glowing bone]...<blockquote>''heavenest found the Spirit of Slumber's bones!''<br><br>''The bones glow with an unearthly silver light.''</blockquote>
It is currently believed the user ''frozenpandaman'' found the bones, and as such there is no reason to continue searching graves. About 1 hour after this, users who roamed around the Haunted Woods recieved the following [[Random Event]]s, with different [[Ghost]] [[Neopets]]:
{|align=center width="450" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0"
|-style="background:orange"
!colspan=2| Something has haunted!
|-
|http://images.neopets.com/pets/angry/koi_ghost_baby.gif || '''BOO!'''<br><br>Uh oh! It looks like all that digging up of graves has disturbed some of the more... eerie denizens of the Haunted Woods. A peace offering would be nice... or perhaps you should just RUN!!
|}
It's unknown what will come from this, and what the ghosts of the defiled graves will do in the Haunted Woods.
*The name "Mr. Krawley", given to the Krawk with the potions, is taken from the Haunted Woods Expansion Set for the Neopets CCG; in the actual plot, the Krawk has not yet been named.
*There are considerable differences between the plot's information and the flavor text of the Haunted Woods Expansion Set for the Neopets CCG; while characters, names and settings remain constant, the "plague" mentioned on the card, "Curing the Plague" (which depicts a slightly-altered Spirit of Slumber, who appears to be a blue Lupe with an earring) is nowhere to be found. Likewise, Ilere is a Villain in the CCG, but a reluctant aide in the plot.
*The keen-eyed user may note that Krawley's potion bottles are seen on the card, "Hissi Oil".
*The Caretaker in the plot bears a remarkable resemblance to [[The Foreman]], a character in the Lost Desert Plot, who likewise bears a strong resemblance to the Janitor in the Altador Plot. The only difference is, the Caretaker is a blue Yurble, while the other two are orange Yurbles.

'''The Tale of Woe''' is a [[plot]] based in the [[Haunted Woods]] and entails the release of [[Neovia]]. It began on October 2, 2006, and appears to be designed to coincide with [[Wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]]. The plot follows the travels of [[Gilly]], who first appeared as the star of [[The Castle of Eliv Thade]].

==Plot Summary==
{{spoiler}}
===The Gypsy Camp===
Deep within the Haunted Woods users happen upon a [[Gypsy Camp]], where a Pink [[Elephante]] greets and warns them of the dangers of the woods - "[...] Trees and creatures roam the night, and they can swallow the unwary. It's no accident that so many legends and myths surround this place [...]" - and reads the user a story of [[Gilly]], when she visited the Camp and heard the story of Neovia...

===The Legend of Neovia===
The Elephante began his tale of a family of [[Edmund]] and [[Alice]], and their three children: sons [[Bruno]] and [[Reginald]], and daughter [[Sophie]] (who the Elephante avoids mentioning until his story is almost over). They lived in [[Neovia]], and had many troubles. Bruno sought the affection of [[Lily]], but lacked the charm and strength to court her, and was not helped in his attempts by [[Oscar]], Lily's current protective companion.

After Oscar hit Bruno for talking to Lilly, Bruno resigned to his fate but stumbled upon [[Mr. Krawley]], who offered him a potion which would make all his troubles go away for only a few [[Neopoints]]. After drinking the potion, the very next day he was handsome, strong and much more presentable to Lily.

Edmund claimed Bruno was foolish to take such an action, complaining that one must work for success. However, when he was offered the potion by [[Mr. Krawley]], he reluctantly took it to resolve the family's financial hardship. Like Bruno, the elixir worked and he became rich within the next few days. With the testimonials of Bruno and his father, word of the potions spread quickly. When Reginald took a potion as well, increasing his intelligence and knowledge, the popularity of the elixir was assured. Before long, everyone was taking the potions to have their wishes - such things as height, beauty and youth - granted with a single swig, and only the innocent, such as [[Sophie]], refrained from drinking the potion.

The potion seemed to give everyone in Neovia happiness... but as the days passed, the effects of the potion continued to make their wishes more twisted. Edmund became suspicious of everyone, carefully guarding over his fortune. Bruno became a muscular, deformed monster. Reginald became lonely, seeking refuge in his books when people couldn't stand to talk to him and his great intellect. Curses like this spread to everyone who drank the potion, and the angry town joined together and searched for [[Mr. Krawley]], only to find he had disappeared. They then decided to put the blame on the family which advertised the elixir, and attacked Edmund's home.

Bruno ran outside to distract the villagers while Reginald and Sophie sneaked out the back and ran for the woods. In the forest, they encountered [[Ilere]], who said Sophie had no where else to go but in her care. Reginald refused such an action, but relented when Sophie went of her own free will, saying she felt safe with Ilere. Returning back to Neovia, Reginald saw Bruno being chased into the woods outside of town, and escorted his parents to an abandoned mansion on the other side of town, used in the past for games of hide-and-seek.

Bruno lost those chasing him in the forest, and when the towns people returned they attacked, determined for retribution. Suddenly, the Mayor of the town stopped them, realizing they must be cured before they can hold those responsible to account. The Neovians summon [[The Spirit of Slumber]], who cures them with magic, but extracts a terrible price...

===The Ruins of Neovia===
[[Image:Tow locket1.gif|frame|The locket that was found in the ghost town.]]
The story ends and Gilly goes to sleep, and after a night's rest she sets out into the woods and stumbles upon Neovia itself. The small town is in ruins, but after looking through a burnt wreck of a house she found a strange silver locket hidden, with the picture inside decayed beyond recognition.

Gilly headed to the [[Deserted Fairground]] and took the locket to [[Lyanka]], of the [[Cork Gun Gallery]]; [[Leeroy]], of the [[Coconut Shy]]; [[Harker]], of the [[Bagatelle]] stall; and [[Ssidney]], of [[Ssidney's Scratch Cards]]. None of them knew who the owner was, although some seemed impressed with the metalwork and one mentioned they were quite popular a long time ago. Heading back to Neovia for more information, she discovers a path leading to a hut in the swampy part of the woods.

===Bruno's Cave===
[[Image:Sophies shack.gif|frame|left|Sophie's Shack.]]
At the hut, Gilly met the adult Sophie, who snatched the locket and shouted for the Usul to leave and not to disturb her. Gilly ran off through the rain and took shelter in a cave. Inside, amongst strange, old artifacts, she was stalked by a dark creature. By arranging a mirror, a broken lamp post, and a chair around a pile of food for bait, Gilly managed to get the monster to eat some of the food, leap back from its own reflection, and stumble across the lamp post and into the chair, where it banged its head and fell into the moonlight, revealing itself to be the horribly disfigured Bruno.

Taking pity on Bruno for her actions, even though he was trying to scare her, Gilly approached him, only to be chased outside of the cave. Gilly ran all the way back to Sophie's hut, asking to be let in from the chasing Bruno, and Sophie answered the door angrily, but calmed into shock when she saw Bruno was alive.

Exposition ensues as brother and sister relate their stories: Bruno, hiding from the townspeople, had hidden in the deepest, darkest recesses of the Haunted Woods, never daring to return to Neovia. Sophie, on the other hand, had indeed gone with Ilere... only to be given a chest with "all you need to survive", as well as the hut, and effectively left to fend for herself.

Sophie explained that some days after she had settled into the hut, she returned to Neovia to find only deserted buildings. Sophie returned several times in the weeks that followed, but there was no sign of what had happened to the residents - until she visited the town on Halloween night.

When Sophie returned to Neovia that night, its streets bustled with life again. She noticed something was wrong, however. The Neovian's faces were blank, they walked about doing their daily actions in silence - no speech, no play, no desire or thought or emotion: Just action, without need. Upon accidentally touching one of the returned townsmen, she put her hand straight through him. Sophie quickly concluded that they were not physically there, and returned to her hut to work on a cure. The next day, however, the town was once again deserted. For ten years, Sophie revealed, she had been working to cure the Neovians, and had little else left to try.

Gilly, almost forgotten in the exchange between brother and sister, spoke up, remembering the Gypsy Elephante's story. She explained the Spirit of Slumber's involvement, realizing that this must be the "terrible price" mentioned in the story - while the spirit restored them to their forms before their use of Mr Krawley's potion, the residents of Neovia were no longer aware of themselves, unable to enjoy their restoration. Sophie is skeptical that this will help at all, but finally elects to try for information from Ilere. She's even more reluctant to bring Gilly along, but Bruno pleads the Usul's case; she relents, providing Gilly won't "... get in the way. Got it."

===Finding Ilere===
[[Image:Ileres tree.gif|frame|right|Ilere's residence, deep in the Haunted Woods.]]
After much searching, the trio finally found their way to Ilere's home - a large and admittedly spooky tree, deep in the heart of the woods. They inquired within, and Ilere acknowledged Sophie. Sophie explained that they needed her help to restore the people of Neovia, and Gilly explained that it was a spell cast by the Spirit of Slumber.

Ilere claimed that the Spirit of Slumber had power "not to be trifled with", and that her visitors should abandon their efforts before they got hurt.

Suddenly, an enraged Bruno attacked Ilere, who brought up a shield of green magic. Before anything further could develop, Sophie caught the Faerie and her brother in a magical spell. Bruno explained that he could feel Ilere's power, and it was great; yet she had done nothing to help Neovia ten years ago, and refused to even give a helping word.

Ilere acknowledged that the three were not as weak as she had thought; when prompted by Sophie, she told them that the Spirit of Slumber was an ancient, powerful spirit of a Neopet that had died long ago. The Earth Faerie said that there were others in the Haunted Woods that would be better versed on the legends surrounding the creature.

As the trio turned to leave, Ilere spoke once more. "Sophie... for your own sake... I hope you fail."

===Seeking the Spirit===

As Bruno groused over Ilere's lack of help, Gilly had an idea; since they needed to know who the Spirit of Slumber was, why not ask the Brain Tree? Sophie refused; she said that she had had a bad experience with the Brain Tree, and refused to elaborate. Gilly, brimming with enthusiasm, started dragging her along, only to receive a blast of Sophie's magic as a blatant refusal.

Bruno rebuked her - Gilly was only a little girl, after all, and the Brain Tree likely had information they needed. Blasting her was completely uncalled for. Reluctantly apologizing, Sophie finally accepted their new destination.

The Brain Tree offered the trio the Spirit's name, but required its date of death before hand. On visiting the Esophagor (as users do on Brain Tree Quests, and over Sophie's considerably-milder objection) in order to find the date of death, the Esophagor pleaded ignorance; because the Spirit of Slumber had not truly died, he required the name in order to give the date.

This stymied Gilly, as it created a circular paradox; they needed the name to get the date, and the date to get the name. Sophie, however, had an idea; if they could find the Spirit of Slumber's earthly bones, she could brew a potion that would tell them his date of death. In answer to Bruno's observation that, without the Spirit's name, they couldn't know which grave was his, Sophie answered, "It's obvious; we'll have to dig up every grave in the Haunted Woods." Her brother and Gilly gulped in understandable fear at the thought.

==Plot Solution==

===Finding the Locket===

In [[Neovia]], the user must visit the burnt-down, although fairly structurally intact, house in the lower right section of the [http://www.neopets.com/halloween/hwp/neovia.phtml Neovia map]. At this point in the plot, this house is the only visitable place in the town.

Every co-ordinate of the map is linked, but only certain key co-ordinates produce an individual result. These co-ordinates are:

*(67,201) -- Chair
*(80,135) -- Fireplace

The co-ordinates exist in the URL of the links. The structure of the URL used in conjunction with the locations in the map follow the following format: '''<nowiki>http://www.neopets.com/halloween/hwp/neovia.phtml?hvh=</nowiki>''[House Code Identifier]''?''[x,y]''''' thus the co-ordinates can be manipulated by changing them at the end of the URL link. This makes hopping to the above locations very easy.

When visiting the locations above, there will be one of the ten (which is random for each user) where Gilly finds the charred silver locket. A form button will appear beneath the locket, which when clicked will add the locket to the Quest Inventory.

===At the Fairground===

After the locket has been gained, the user must head to the [[Deserted Fairground]], where the following four characters will talk to Gilly about the locket she has found:

*Harker the [[Lupe]], at the Bagatelle stall.
*Lyanka the [[Aisha]], at the Cork Gun Gallery.
*Leeroy the [[Quiggle]], at the Coconut Shy.
*Ssidney the [[Nimmo]], at Ssidney's Scratch Cards.

The conversations appear bellow the games themselves. There have been some bugs where the conversations do not appear. Methods of rectifying it include clearing one's cache, refreshing, or playing one of the four games.

Each of the characters will give a different conversation, and while these are four set characters, it is random for each user which character has which conversation. Each conversation starts with one of the following opening lines:

*"Why, certainly, little miss... Well, what a pretty little trinket this is. I haven't seen one like it in years."
*"Amazing! I haven't seen such metalwork in, oh, must be ten years. Where did you say you found it?"
*"That piece of junk? It looks like a hundred other lockets I've seen."
*"It looks familiar... where did you get it? I know someone who'd pay a thousand Neopoints for that locket, though. At least, I used to. Haven't seen her in ages."

When the characters are visited so that the conversations appear in the above order, Gilly will decide that nobody will help her there. Back in Neovia, a small path that leads away from the town becomes hyperlinked to a new site, Sophie's Shack.

===At the Cave===

After visiting Sophie's Shack, Sophie will run the user off. Clicking the form button bellow, "Flee in Terror", will bring Gilly to a dark cave. Clicking the "Go into the scary cave..." button will send Gilly inside.

The cave is unique to everyone, but consists of a 3 x 3 grid of rooms, which all have at least one doorway into them. In the cave, there are several items, some of which can be carried and some of which can't. The chest and the table cannot be picked up, but the lamppost, chair, mirror, rotten food, and key can. Additionally, at least one of the rooms will have a pool of moonlight in the centre.

The user can pick up one object at a time, and can be placed down at a certain co-ordinate in the same way as the user searched for the locket in Neovia.

When moving about the cave, occasionally the message "Something seems to be following you..." will appear under the picture of the room. It will eventually catch up with you, and it will scare Gilly into a random room. By placing the Rotten Food object on the ground in one of the rooms, when the monster passes through it, they will, instead of scaring Gilly into a random location, stop and eat. They will then become disoriented and run off to a random room.

The user must set up a trap in a moonlit room in order to illuminate the creature. To do this, the following items must be placed at the following co-ordinates of a room with a pool of moonlight in the centre:

*Mirror at (240,330).
*Lamppost at (240,215).
*Chair at (235,160), or sometimes (225,155).
*Rotten Food at (330,325).

When the monster follows Gilly into the room, it will eat the bait, see its reflection in the mirror, stumble backwards over the lamppost, crack its head on the chair and collapse into the light.

===Into the Woods===

When the user returns to Sophie's Shack, a section of dialogue will be visible of the troupe - Gilly, Sophie and Bruno - where they decide to head out to find Ilere.

There are three sections to find Ilere, each section works in a similar way. Each section is a [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|Flash]] maze, where you will see a screen with several paths leading from it. One of these (except for the first screen of each maze) will take the user back to the previous screen. In each section, there is an item, or several items, that must be collected to advance.

====The Swamp====

In the first section, there is a two-headed [[Hissi]] blocking one of the paths. When the user clicks on him, they are told that one of the Hissi's heads will always speak the truth, and the other will always lie. The Hissi is too busy arguing with himself to listen to any questions you give it, so the problem cannot be solved simply by using logic.

The user must find a stick in the maze, and click on it to bring it into their Quest Inventory. The user must then return to the Hissi and, by clicking on the stick in the inventory then on the Neopet, prod it. One of the Hissi's heads will deny that you poked it, so the other head must be telling the truth. This opens the way into the next section.

====The High Woods====

In the section segment, there is a clearing somewhere in the woods where there is a break in the trees. This is where there is a cliff, and to proceed, you must descend it.

Around the maze are five types of vine, six of each, which can be picked up in the same manner as the stick in the previous section. These vines must be assembled in a combination, random to each person, to construct a rope for a descent of the cliff.

An effective way of determining which combination to use is to drop all vines at the clearing by clicking them in the inventory and clicking on the terrain, putting them into piles of type, and then trying with six of each in one's inventory until the user is shown a cutscene of the cliff, where the rope is too short. The user should add a vine from the next pile to the inventory, and continue doing so, testing after each vine, until the vine becomes too weak or the bottom is reached. In the former event, the last vine added should be removed, and a vine from the next pile included, with the process continuing.

Once the vine-rope reaches the base of the cliff, the three Neopets will climb down, and the next section will start. Note that it is possible to construct a rope with more than three sets of vines, but inadvisable; the rope will then be snatched away by a monster, and the vines scattered through the woods again.

====The Deep Woods====

In this maze, the object is to collect the seven ghost [[Meepits]], and then use them to open the lock to Ilere's tree residence.

When the user first encounters a Meepit in the forest, it will run away. After this happens, the user must play [[Meepit Juice Break]] and send a score of 400 points or more. This will place a glass of Meepit Juice into the Quest Inventory. The next time a Meepit is encountered, clicking on this in the inventory, then clicking on the Meepit, will offer the juice to the [[Petpet]]. The juice will splash through it, however, and it will run off. Sophie will turn the Meepit Juice into Ghost Meepit Juice, and when the above procedure is repeated, this time the Meepit will become entranced and follow as part of the Quest Inventory.

Once all seven Meepits are collected, Ilere's tree must be found. It is covered by a stone barricade, engraved with runes, and seven spots of light sit on the floor in front of it. Clicking on the Meepit picture in the Quest Inventory, then on the floor, will cause the seven Meepits to hop onto the spots. The Meepits must be rearranged, by clicking two adjacent the Ghost Meepits (which will exchange their positions), until all the Meepits are dancing. Visual hints make this relatively simple:

* Happy Meepits are one space from their proper position.
* Staring Meepits are two spaces from their proper position.
* Sad Meepits are more than two spaces from their proper position.

As there are only seven positions, this reduces the possibilities to two for each Meepit.

When all the Meepits dance, the stone door will move and Ilere's home will be open.

===The Graveyard===

The user next needs to find the graveyard of the Spirit. At the [[Game Graveyard]], there is a new picture of The Caretaker's Vault: click on it to enter.

The Caretaker (an easily-angered blue Yurble) angrily informs the user that his indices are missing. Without them, he cannot locate a the graveyard or grave of anyone.

The books must be found. If the user plays [[Fetch!]] on hard difficulty, they will find somewhere in the maze a pile of books. When the user reaches it, as it's certainly not what the Master asked for, you'll be told to "Flee", with that being the only button on the page.

After clicking the "Fleeing sounds pretty good right now..." button, the Fetch! game is over; when the user returns to the Caretaker's vault, the Yurble will be happy to see the return of his records.

===Grave Digging===

With the indices carefully checked, the user then must begin to search for the correct grave. There are three different tasks to perform as part of this section: digging up the graves, retrieving potion ingredients to increase the drops of potion available, and using the potion on dug up bones in order to determine if it is a bone from the Spirit of Slumber.

These tasks are not performed in sequence and finished in the same way as finding Ilere. Every single grave from a multitude of graveyards must be dug up, and every single grave tested with the potion. It is a dauntingly huge task, but fortunately, every user working on the plot works together, much like working on the repository of the [[Lost Desert Plot]].

To start searching for the Spirit's mortal body, the user must visit the Caretaker's Vault again and click the "Examine the graveyards list" button. Then, a graveyard must be selected from a list of graveyard designations, and the user is brought up to the graveyard's control panel, where each task can be selected.

====Digging Up Graves====

This section of the plot began October 20, 2006, and was completed October 23, 2006. The graveyards are no longer active.

Clicking the 'Enter graveyard' button brought the user to a map of the graveyard. The graveyard was divided up into many squares. The square the user was currently on was shown by a black border around the square. The user moved around the graveyard by clicking other squares to go to them (the user could only click on squares they could reach from their current position without walking over graves or barriers).

Many of the squares contained gravestones. If the gravestone had a small pile of dirt in front of it, it signified that the digging was underway. If there was a large section of dirt in front of it, it signified that the grave was open and empty. If there was a large section of dirt with bones in front of it, it signified that the grave was open and the coffin exposed. If there was no dirt in front of it, digging had yet to begin (although diggers may be waiting to commence).

To interact with a grave, the user had to be on a square adjacent to one, then click the grave's square.

To dig up a grave, there had to be four users (represented by their active Neopet) at the grave site, which then had to dig in sequence, each user's turn indicated to them by a pink highlight around their Neopet. To join a digging team, there had to be at least one empty space, shown by a question mark instead of a Neopet's image, around the grave, and then the form button "Join the diggers" was to be clicked. Between their turns at digging, the users clicked the "Wait" form button.

While digging, several items could be found by the users in the dirt. Most commonly, these were '''Spooky Doughnut'''s or '''Ghost Marshmallows''', but '''Fetch! Stamp'''s, '''Meowclops Statue'''s and '''Sludgy'''s could also be found, and there were claims that '''Halloween [[Paint Brush]]'''es had been dug up also.

If you were not quick enough in digging, you could be kicked out of the digging team. If this happened, or if you chose to leave the digging team once you had joined, you were unable to dig for some minutes. After a coffin had been successfully exhumed, the user became exhausted and had to wait several minutes before they could dig up graves again. (This is similar to an activity in the Lost Desert Plot, as remarked by many users. Due to a shortened time limit, however, dialup users experienced difficulty, as their page load times could exceed the time limit, causing them to be removed from their digging team on their first or second click.)

The graveyard could be left by leaving through the gate the user arrived next to. This took the user back to the control panel.

====Testing the Bones====

In order to test whether the dug up bones are those of the Spirit of Slumber, the user took some potion from the control panel, entered the graveyard and found an open grave. The user could "Wait" at a grave being dug up until the coffin was exhumed to test it, as well as looking for a coffin already available.

If the user was first to the coffin with the potion, they were asked to "Continue", and were then given the mass and volume of one of the bones. They were then asked to decide how many drops of potion, up to 250, were needed to test the bone correctly. The formula for working out the number of droplets needed was: ((mass/volume)^2)*25, that is, the mass divided by the volume, squared, times 25. The result was to be rounded to its nearest whole number.

After testing a bone, the user saw whether or not the bone was the Spirit's. If it wasn't, the user gained 150 [[NP]] and had to wait a while before being able to test a bone again. The user could return the potion to Sophie on the control panel after taking it if they were unable to, or did not wish to, test a bone. They would not be able to use the potion again for a few minutes.

====Finding Ingredients====

On the control panel, the third option was to retrieve ingredients for Sophie. She would give you the name of the ingredient, and the user would then visit her Shack (entering it by clicking on the door) and retrieve the appropriate ingredient. The user returned to Sophie, and was rewarded 50 NP if the vial is correct.

There were no labels on the potions in Sophie's Shack, however. At the end of the URL for each unlabeled ingredient was an ID number. The ID conformed to a certain ingredient. The known ID and ingredient matches were:

*'''ID 1''': Bagguss Juice
*'''ID 2''': Juppie Extract
*'''ID 3''': Kadoatie Essence
*'''ID 4''': Tanglevine Sap
*'''ID 5''': Liquid Chokato Mould
*'''ID 6''': Moonwater
*'''ID 7''': Liquid meepit
*'''ID 8''': Alyseth
*'''ID 9''': Bloatershroom Extract
*'''ID 10''': Liquified Bumroot
*'''ID 11''': Crushweed juice
*'''ID 12''': Boiled tree bark
*'''ID 13''': Worm snot
*'''ID 14''': Soaked Babaa Wool
*'''ID 15''': Spicy Mortogberry
*'''ID 16''': Jurple butter
*'''ID 17''': Boiled Meowclops Saliva
*'''ID 18''': Barkroot Dew
*'''ID 19''': Unknown
*'''ID 20''': Grundo Goo
*'''ID 21''': Powdered Bloodfern
*'''ID 22''': Pureed sharpgrass
*'''ID 23''': Mutant Gruel
*'''ID 24''': Evaporated Snorkle Juice
*'''ID 25''': Ghostbeef Essence
*'''ID 26''': Zomutt Mucus

==Quest Inventory==
This plot brought in a feature called the '''Quest Inventory''', where items discovered in the plot are stored. Items in this inventory cannot be used, traded, or stolen in the way items in the [[Inventory]] can, like previous plot quest items in the past.

==Trivia==
*An [[Aisha]] resembling [[Megan]] can be seen in images of the Gypsy camp.
*This plot seems to be based off the movie/book [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_Wicked_This_Way_Comes_%281983_movie%29 Something Wicked This Way Comes].
*When part 3 of the plot was released on October 13, 2006, the new section of the plot came upon many database issues, requiring [[The Neopets Team]] to move the database, replacing all pages relating to the plot with the following texts (as the errors were happening more than once)
**'''TEMPORARY DB MOVE - WILL BE BACK SHORTLY'''
**'''MORE DATABASE ISSUES -- GEEZ THERE'S A LOT OF YOU GUYS -- DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH'''
*On October 23, 2006 around 6:25 NST, the following message appeared when any user tried to access the graveyards or any other related pages along with an [http://images.neopets.com/halloween/hwp/graveyard/femur_glow_edbd8280f3.gif image of a glowing bone]...<blockquote>''heavenest found the Spirit of Slumber's bones!''<br><br>''The bones glow with an unearthly silver light.''</blockquote>
It is currently believed the user ''heavenest'' found the bones, and as such there is no reason to continue searching graves. About 1 hour after this, users who roamed around the Haunted Woods recieved the following [[Random Event]]s, with different [[Ghost]] [[Neopets]]:
{|align=center width="450" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0"
|-style="background:orange"
!colspan=2| Something has haunted!
|-
|http://images.neopets.com/pets/angry/koi_ghost_baby.gif || '''BOO!'''<br><br>Uh oh! It looks like all that digging up of graves has disturbed some of the more... eerie denizens of the Haunted Woods. A peace offering would be nice... or perhaps you should just RUN!!
|}
It's unknown what will come from this, and what the ghosts of the defiled graves will do in the Haunted Woods.
*The name "Mr. Krawley", given to the Krawk with the potions, is taken from the Haunted Woods Expansion Set for the Neopets CCG; in the actual plot, the Krawk has not yet been named.
*There are considerable differences between the plot's information and the flavor text of the Haunted Woods Expansion Set for the Neopets CCG; while characters, names and settings remain constant, the "plague" mentioned on the card, "Curing the Plague" (which depicts a slightly-altered Spirit of Slumber, who appears to be a blue Lupe with an earring) is nowhere to be found. Likewise, Ilere is a Villain in the CCG, but a reluctant aide in the plot.
*The keen-eyed user may note that Krawley's potion bottles are seen on the card, "Hissi Oil".
*The Caretaker in the plot bears a remarkable resemblance to [[The Foreman]], a character in the Lost Desert Plot, who likewise bears a strong resemblance to the Janitor in the Altador Plot. The only difference is, the Caretaker is a blue Yurble, while the other two are orange Yurbles.

'''The Cyodrake's Gaze''' is a vessel from [[Shenkuu]] that first appeared, unexpectedly, at the harbour of [[Krawk Island]] on August 3, 2006, as the lead up to the new world. It was part of a mystery [[plot]] involving the user interviewing crew members with each chapter to determine what happened to the ship's lost navigator, [[Hoban]]. The Plot ended on September 8, 2006.

The ship sold exclusive foods, weaponry, and medicines which were available to buy while it is docked, along with the game [[Kou-jong]]. The facilities that were available on the ship have since become available in Shenkuu itself after the plot finished. The design of the [[Wikipedia:Junk (ship)|ship's rigging]], the items it supplied and Kou-jong implied the vessel came from a [[Wikipedia:China|Chinese]] style world, which were revealed to be true with the release of Shenkuu on Septeber 8, 2006. Besides being able to sail on the water, The Cyodrake's Gaze was capable of flying as well, allowing it to travel and trade with many different lands. Its relation to the [[Cyodrake]], the [[Petpet]] which it borrows its name from, is unknown.

==Crew==
The Cyodrake's Gaze is manned by the following [[Neopets]], in the order they are encountered in the plot.

'''''Captain Tuan'''''

[[Captain Tuan]], a Blue [[Gnorbu]], is captain of the ship, and has taken it upon himself to find his lost crewmate Hoban. Though until the forth chapter he insists that you will be of little help to him, he continues to allow you to investigate, and suggest a crew member to interview each time his ship moves. By the time the ship reached the Lost Desert, the captain has decided that the user's willingness to help is genuine and gives the user his gratitude, and starts to wish more Neopians would be as kind, but trails off before he finishes the thought.

'''''First Mate Shumi'''''

[[First Mate Shumi]], a Green [[Scorchio]], First Mate Shumi is the first of the crew to give his story on Hoban's disappearance, and apparently doesn't play much of a role in any of the stories, even his own. It was him that suggested to the captain they needed outside help.

'''''Orrin'''''

[[Orrin]] is a Red [[Nimmo]], who keeps the inventory on all the ship's stores. He saw someone being swept overboard during the storm, and it is believed to be Hoban.

'''''Navigator Hoban'''''

The navigator of the ship, [[Hoban]] the yellow [[Aisha]] is responsible for plotting the ships course. He was apparently swept overboard in a storm, and the crew set out to look for him. In each recollection of the events of that night, Hoban is seen first carrying only an empty bag at his side...but later appears to have acquired three scrolls. Appears to have threatened to sail the ship into a storm as a bit of revenge.

'''''Linae'''''

[[Linae]] is a pink [[Kougra]], who hosts the game Kou-jong. She seems to have told Hoban that he was very bad luck.

'''''Chef Bonju'''''

An orange [[Blumaroo]], [[Chef Bonju]] manages the [[Magical Cooking Vessel]], which appears to be related to the [[Cooking Pot]] on Mystery Island. He was noted in the second chapter of the plot to be sneaking out of the arms room, possibly concealing something. He claims in the third chapter to have gotten a small blade from there to use in place of his knife which had gone missing.

'''''Kentari'''''

[[Kentari]], a yellow [[Shoyru]] manages and sells weaponry from the ship. He is the second crew member to give his story on Hoban's disappearance, and keeps check of the weaponry stores.

'''''Anshu'''''

[[Anshu]] is a brown [[Ruki]], who sells medicines from the ship. Bonju believes that he and Linae are conspiring to do something in chapter 3, but Linae claims that they were only discussing how bad the food was.

==Plot Summary==
===Plot Progression===
The Cyodrake's Gaze appeared at [[Krawk Island]] on the August 3, 2006, unable to make it to [[Mystery Island]], their destination. The ship had just sailed through a storm, during which they lost much of their supplies and also appeared to have lost their navigator, [[Hoban]], overboard. [[Captain Tuan]] shared his story with users, detailing what happened from his perspective. Three days later, presumably when the ship had repaired sufficiently, it sailed away.

On 8th August, the ship appeared on the shores south of Mystery Island. The crew had hoped to find Hoban there, but he had not reached it. As they resupplied, [[Kentari]] have his story of the night of the storm. The ship set sail at midnight [[NST]] on the August 11, again having stopped for only three days.

On the 15th August, the ship reappeared in [[Faerieland]] - the Captain had forgotten to mention that the ship can fly. [[Chef Bonju]] was interviewed, and the ship left Faerieland at midnight on 19th August.

The ship reappeared on the 23rd in the [[Lost Desert]], where Linae gave her version of events. The ship left the desert on 27th.

When the ship docked at Mystery Island again, on the 29th, Captain Tuan remarked that the crew were running out of time and that their stories do not tally. First Mate Shumi unlocks Hoban's map room, where there are two documents ([http://images.neopets.com/cgship/maps/grid_2837fn3suq.gif a grid] and [http://images.neopets.com/cgship/maps/nav_gkd83jdl2i.gif a map] seeming to show the direction change from Mystery Island to Krawk Island) annotated in red which are of interest. It should be noted that, presumably, since Hoban disappeared only Shumi has had access to this room.

On the 31st August, users were then allowed to guess at what had happened and where Hoban was now.

On the 7th of September, Hoban has finally been located, and gives his account of the storm in the most recent sixth comic. The existence of Shenkuu, the heavily speculated Asain world, has finally been confirmed by Captain Tuan in the third page of the comic.

===The Night of the Storm===
====Captain Tuan's Account====
At the start of dinner, Captain Tuan sent Orrin to the supply room to complete the inventory he had failed to finish, where he locked him in until he had completed his work. On returning to the mess room, he found Hoban declaring "Let's see you laugh when I sail you into a storm!" before marching from the room. After dinner, a storm arrived, and the captain called for all hands on deck, The storm lasted for several hours and after it the ship was somewhat worse for wear, having lost a considerable amount of supplies overboard. Realising that Hoban and Orrin were not with them, and that the captain had locked Orrin below deck for the entire duration of the storm, Tuan sends First Mate Shumi to fetch the [[Nimmo]]. As soon as he reached the captain, Orrin says that during the storm he heard a scream and saw someone fall into the water. Despite their searches, the crew could not find the navigator on board, concluding he had indeed been washed over.

====Kentari's Account====
According to Kentari, Hoban said his fateful line in a angry manner, whereas Tuan thought it was less emotional. The crew dismissed Hoban, and carried on with their meal. Kentari finished his meal first, and left the mess room before the others. He went to the armoury and ran his usual inspection - everything was in order. However, later on, while he was doing his rounds, he saw Chef Bonju leave the armoury, concealing something in his jacket. Before he could investigate, the storm broke out and Kentari was called to deck. While he was trying to secure the starboard side brace for the forward topsail, Hoban came over to assist him, complaining that Linae thought he was bad luck and had brought the storm on the ship himself. Kentari did not see Hoban again in the storm.

====Chef Bonju's Account====
According to Chef Bonju, Hoban spoke his words matter-of-factly before leaving the room, and the others enjoyed the meal greatly. He noted that Linae and Anshu remained behind, whispering together. He then thoroughly washed the dishes, but as he was getting to the silverware had to go up to the deck as the storm broke out. He saw Hoban three times in the storm, first at the starboard railing, then at the port railing, then later he talked to him, although this does not match Anshu's account, when he had calmed down. He asked whether he was thought of as bad luck, as Linae had said something to that effect which had irritated him. When prompted, Bonju explained his trip to the armoury by saying he was fetching a knife to carve with, as the one he usually uses had mysteriously vanished. However, if the Chef was busy washing up when the storm started, he would not have had the time to go to the armoury and fetch a knife, if the timing Kentari recalls is accurate. Also, it has been questioned what the Chef would need to carve ''after'' after the meal. Finally, it should be noted that the knife he took from the store does not appear to be suitable for carving, although this may be a mistake on the behalf of the artists.

====Linae's Account====
By Linae's account, Hoban's muttered his words furiously, like a "fateful hex". After dinner, Linae returned to her cabin, stopping to pause and speak with Anshu, apparently about the poor quality of the food, although this seems unlikely as the other crew members seem to be able to go on at length about the meal and it does not match Anshu's explanation. She describes her discussion with Anshu as "brief", while Bonju insisted they lingered behind to talk. In her cabin, she began to play a game of [[Kou-jong]], but found she was missing her ''Lost Desert Sunset'' tile. Having searched her cabin, she then went up onto deck, where she found it behind a crate. While retrieving it, she heard Anshu and Hoban arguing, but the call for all hands on deck came shortly after they started arguing, and Hoban went to the wheel. She worked on deck for a while, twice beside Hoban, before going below deck to help Anshu fix a leak, although Anshu does not mention her himself. She considers Hoban responsible for the storm, and bad luck.

====Anshu's Account====
Anshu's recollection is that Hoban's words were spoken less angrily than Linae recalls, and possibly with some desperation. After their meal, Linae pulled Anshu briefly to one side to ask about an undisclosed medical issue. Anshu then went for a brief walk, alone, on deck, but just before the storm came he got into an argument with Hoban. Anshu wanted to stop in at Krawk Island to obtain some medical supplies, but Hoban refused to change course. As the storm hit, Hoban went to the wheel while Anshu was sent down below to repair a leak. Twice Anshu heard Hoban above him on deck, the first time, when he investigated, Hoban was arguing with someone, and then later he heard him arguing again, on the aftdeck, but when he inquired Bonju didn't know anything about it.

====Hoban's Account====
According to Hoban's story, he claims that after he stated the fateful line, he left the dining area to his map room to get some work done. Several hours after, Anshu confronted him and they both got into a heated argument. At one o'clock, Captain Tuan sent him to assist Linae, where she called him bad luck. Two hours later, he went to help Kentari and was ignored. At 4:00 he saw Anshu again, but avoided him because he was clearly still bitter about their disagreement, then at 5:00 had an argument with Linae about what he had said earlier. He was passing the cargo crates at six o'clock when he noticed Bonju was furious at how he had not finished the "glorious meal" hours before. Hoban then confronted him and in the resulting fight, he was pushed overboard by Bonju, where he was left floating in a crate full of food. After his eventual rescue, Bonju was finally punished by being locked in the storeroom, and Captain Tuan invited the user to Shenkuu.

==Hoban's Timeline==
From the information each of the crew have given, it is possible to construct a timeline of Hoban's projected whereabouts on the ship on the day of the storm. Where conflicting reports exist, they have both been listed parallel.

It should noted that some of the times are only projected times based on the assumption that the storm occured at 12:00 NST, which although not confirmed would tie in with the rest of the times and would allow each of the events to fall into order by the 1:00-6:00 time scale that is given in the area to input the solution.

<blockquote>''Currently in the works on how the timeline will be presented. Thought it wasn't proper to add a timeline when it wasn't completed nor was it thought out how it would be. Discuss proposals and ideas in this articles "Discussion" page.'' --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:24, 2 Sep 2006 (CDT)</blockquote>

==Presentation==
The way the comic-strips for this plot are written, it is as though the reader is conducting the investigation and is an integral part of the plot line, something absent from previous, similar plots which included part-by-part chapters.

Whenever the ship leaves harbour, the main comic page becomes inaccessible. The sources of the comics can still be accessed, however, for them to be read:

==Trivia==
*References to [[Mystery Island Volcano]], the [[Lost Desert Plot]] and the [[Altador Plot]] were made in the release of the plot in the saying...<blockquote>''Ah ha! So there is more going on! Clever one, you are. You hesitate for a moment, though, if only because you remember previous times you've offered to help a strangers. Volcanoes... and spike traps... and flooded cities. *shudder*''</blockquote>
*Many theories emerged throughout the participation of the plot where the Cyodrake's Gaze would appear next after each disappearance. [[Lutari Island]] and [[Altador]] were of major discussion, and many users were angry at the thought it would arrive as Lutari Island, because it was only available to user who had [[Neopets Mobile]].
*After the plot, [http://www.neopets.com/games/eyeofthestorm.phtml Eye of the Storm], staring ''The Cyodrake's Gaze'''s crew, was released. The game was available for Premium Beta testing during the plot.

'''The Cyodrake's Gaze''' is a vessel from [[Shenkuu]] that first appeared, unexpectedly, at the harbour of [[Krawk Island]] on August 3, 2006, as the lead up to the new world. It was part of a mystery [[plot]] involving the user interviewing crew members with each chapter to determine what happened to the ship's lost navigator, [[Hoban]]. The Plot ended on September 8, 2006.

The ship sold exclusive foods, weaponry, and medicines which were available to buy while it is docked, along with the game [[Kou-jong]]. The facilities that were available on the ship have since become available in Shenkuu itself after the plot finished. The design of the [[Wikipedia:Junk (ship)|ship's rigging]], the items it supplied and Kou-jong implied the vessel came from a [[Wikipedia:China|Chinese]] style world, which were revealed to be true with the release of Shenkuu on Septeber 8, 2006. Besides being able to sail on the water, The Cyodrake's Gaze was capable of flying as well, allowing it to travel and trade with many different lands. Its relation to the [[Cyodrake]], the [[Petpet]] which it borrows its name from, is unknown.

==Crew==
The Cyodrake's Gaze is manned by the following [[Neopets]], in the order they are encountered in the plot.

'''''Captain Tuan'''''

[[Captain Tuan]], a Blue [[Gnorbu]], is captain of the ship, and has taken it upon himself to find his lost crewmate Hoban. Though until the forth chapter he insists that you will be of little help to him, he continues to allow you to investigate, and suggest a crew member to interview each time his ship moves. By the time the ship reached the Lost Desert, the captain has decided that the user's willingness to help is genuine and gives the user his gratitude, and starts to wish more Neopians would be as kind, but trails off before he finishes the thought.

'''''First Mate Shumi'''''

[[First Mate Shumi]], a Green [[Scorchio]], First Mate Shumi is the first of the crew to give his story on Hoban's disappearance, and apparently doesn't play much of a role in any of the stories, even his own. It was him that suggested to the captain they needed outside help.

'''''Orrin'''''

[[Orrin]] is a Red [[Nimmo]], who keeps the inventory on all the ship's stores. He saw someone being swept overboard during the storm, and it is believed to be Hoban.

'''''Navigator Hoban'''''

The navigator of the ship, [[Hoban]] the yellow [[Aisha]] is responsible for plotting the ships course. He was apparently swept overboard in a storm, and the crew set out to look for him. In each recollection of the events of that night, Hoban is seen first carrying only an empty bag at his side...but later appears to have acquired three scrolls. Appears to have threatened to sail the ship into a storm as a bit of revenge.

'''''Linae'''''

[[Linae]] is a pink [[Kougra]], who hosts the game Kou-jong. She seems to have told Hoban that he was very bad luck.

'''''Chef Bonju'''''

An orange [[Blumaroo]], [[Chef Bonju]] manages the [[Magical Cooking Vessel]], which appears to be related to the [[Cooking Pot]] on Mystery Island. He was noted in the second chapter of the plot to be sneaking out of the arms room, possibly concealing something. He claims in the third chapter to have gotten a small blade from there to use in place of his knife which had gone missing.

'''''Kentari'''''

[[Kentari]], a yellow [[Shoyru]] manages and sells weaponry from the ship. He is the second crew member to give his story on Hoban's disappearance, and keeps check of the weaponry stores.

'''''Anshu'''''

[[Anshu]] is a brown [[Ruki]], who sells medicines from the ship. Bonju believes that he and Linae are conspiring to do something in chapter 3, but Linae claims that they were only discussing how bad the food was.

==Plot Summary==
===Plot Progression===
The Cyodrake's Gaze appeared at [[Krawk Island]] on the August 3, 2006, unable to make it to [[Mystery Island]], their destination. The ship had just sailed through a storm, during which they lost much of their supplies and also appeared to have lost their navigator, [[Hoban]], overboard. [[Captain Tuan]] shared his story with users, detailing what happened from his perspective. Three days later, presumably when the ship had repaired sufficiently, it sailed away.

On 8th August, the ship appeared on the shores south of Mystery Island. The crew had hoped to find Hoban there, but he had not reached it. As they resupplied, [[Kentari]] have his story of the night of the storm. The ship set sail at midnight [[NST]] on the August 11, again having stopped for only three days.

On the 15th August, the ship reappeared in [[Faerieland]] - the Captain had forgotten to mention that the ship can fly. [[Chef Bonju]] was interviewed, and the ship left Faerieland at midnight on 19th August.

The ship reappeared on the 23rd in the [[Lost Desert]], where Linae gave her version of events. The ship left the desert on 27th.

When the ship docked at Mystery Island again, on the 29th, Captain Tuan remarked that the crew were running out of time and that their stories do not tally. First Mate Shumi unlocks Hoban's map room, where there are two documents ([http://images.neopets.com/cgship/maps/grid_2837fn3suq.gif a grid] and [http://images.neopets.com/cgship/maps/nav_gkd83jdl2i.gif a map] seeming to show the direction change from Mystery Island to Krawk Island) annotated in red which are of interest. It should be noted that, presumably, since Hoban disappeared only Shumi has had access to this room.

On the 31st August, users were then allowed to guess at what had happened and where Hoban was now.

On the 7th of September, Hoban has finally been located, and gives his account of the storm in the most recent sixth comic. The existence of Shenkuu, the heavily speculated Asain world, has finally been confirmed by Captain Tuan in the third page of the comic.

===The Night of the Storm===
====Captain Tuan's Account====
At the start of dinner, Captain Tuan sent Orrin to the supply room to complete the inventory he had failed to finish, where he locked him in until he had completed his work. On returning to the mess room, he found Hoban declaring "Let's see you laugh when I sail you into a storm!" before marching from the room. After dinner, a storm arrived, and the captain called for all hands on deck, The storm lasted for several hours and after it the ship was somewhat worse for wear, having lost a considerable amount of supplies overboard. Realising that Hoban and Orrin were not with them, and that the captain had locked Orrin below deck for the entire duration of the storm, Tuan sends First Mate Shumi to fetch the [[Nimmo]]. As soon as he reached the captain, Orrin says that during the storm he heard a scream and saw someone fall into the water. Despite their searches, the crew could not find the navigator on board, concluding he had indeed been washed over.

====Kentari's Account====
According to Kentari, Hoban said his fateful line in a angry manner, whereas Tuan thought it was less emotional. The crew dismissed Hoban, and carried on with their meal. Kentari finished his meal first, and left the mess room before the others. He went to the armoury and ran his usual inspection - everything was in order. However, later on, while he was doing his rounds, he saw Chef Bonju leave the armoury, concealing something in his jacket. Before he could investigate, the storm broke out and Kentari was called to deck. While he was trying to secure the starboard side brace for the forward topsail, Hoban came over to assist him, complaining that Linae thought he was bad luck and had brought the storm on the ship himself. Kentari did not see Hoban again in the storm.

====Chef Bonju's Account====
According to Chef Bonju, Hoban spoke his words matter-of-factly before leaving the room, and the others enjoyed the meal greatly. He noted that Linae and Anshu remained behind, whispering together. He then thoroughly washed the dishes, but as he was getting to the silverware had to go up to the deck as the storm broke out. He saw Hoban three times in the storm, first at the starboard railing, then at the port railing, then later he talked to him, although this does not match Anshu's account, when he had calmed down. He asked whether he was thought of as bad luck, as Linae had said something to that effect which had irritated him. When prompted, Bonju explained his trip to the armoury by saying he was fetching a knife to carve with, as the one he usually uses had mysteriously vanished. However, if the Chef was busy washing up when the storm started, he would not have had the time to go to the armoury and fetch a knife, if the timing Kentari recalls is accurate. Also, it has been questioned what the Chef would need to carve ''after'' after the meal. Finally, it should be noted that the knife he took from the store does not appear to be suitable for carving, although this may be a mistake on the behalf of the artists.

====Linae's Account====
By Linae's account, Hoban's muttered his words furiously, like a "fateful hex". After dinner, Linae returned to her cabin, stopping to pause and speak with Anshu, apparently about the poor quality of the food, although this seems unlikely as the other crew members seem to be able to go on at length about the meal and it does not match Anshu's explanation. She describes her discussion with Anshu as "brief", while Bonju insisted they lingered behind to talk. In her cabin, she began to play a game of [[Kou-jong]], but found she was missing her ''Lost Desert Sunset'' tile. Having searched her cabin, she then went up onto deck, where she found it behind a crate. While retrieving it, she heard Anshu and Hoban arguing, but the call for all hands on deck came shortly after they started arguing, and Hoban went to the wheel. She worked on deck for a while, twice beside Hoban, before going below deck to help Anshu fix a leak, although Anshu does not mention her himself. She considers Hoban responsible for the storm, and bad luck.

====Anshu's Account====
Anshu's recollection is that Hoban's words were spoken less angrily than Linae recalls, and possibly with some desperation. After their meal, Linae pulled Anshu briefly to one side to ask about an undisclosed medical issue. Anshu then went for a brief walk, alone, on deck, but just before the storm came he got into an argument with Hoban. Anshu wanted to stop in at Krawk Island to obtain some medical supplies, but Hoban refused to change course. As the storm hit, Hoban went to the wheel while Anshu was sent down below to repair a leak. Twice Anshu heard Hoban above him on deck, the first time, when he investigated, Hoban was arguing with someone, and then later he heard him arguing again, on the aftdeck, but when he inquired Bonju didn't know anything about it.

====Hoban's Account====
According to Hoban's story, he claims that after he stated the fateful line, he left the dining area to his map room to get some work done. Several hours after, Anshu confronted him and they both got into a heated argument. At one o'clock, Captain Tuan sent him to assist Linae, where she called him bad luck. Two hours later, he went to help Kentari and was ignored. At 4:00 he saw Anshu again, but avoided him because he was clearly still bitter about their disagreement, then at 5:00 had an argument with Linae about what he had said earlier. He was passing the cargo crates at six o'clock when he noticed Bonju was furious at how he had not finished the "glorious meal" hours before. Hoban then confronted him and in the resulting fight, he was pushed overboard by Bonju, where he was left floating in a crate full of food. After his eventual rescue, Bonju was finally punished by being locked in the storeroom, and Captain Tuan invited the user to Shenkuu.

==Hoban's Timeline==
From the information each of the crew have given, it is possible to construct a timeline of Hoban's projected whereabouts on the ship on the day of the storm. Where conflicting reports exist, they have both been listed parallel.

It should noted that some of the times are only projected times based on the assumption that the storm occured at 12:00 NST, which although not confirmed would tie in with the rest of the times and would allow each of the events to fall into order by the 1:00-6:00 time scale that is given in the area to input the solution.

==Trivia==
*References to [[Mystery Island Volcano]], the [[Lost Desert Plot]] and the [[Altador Plot]] were made in the release of the plot in the saying...<blockquote>''Ah ha! So there is more going on! Clever one, you are. You hesitate for a moment, though, if only because you remember previous times you've offered to help a strangers. Volcanoes... and spike traps... and flooded cities. *shudder*''</blockquote>
*Many theories emerged throughout the participation of the plot where the Cyodrake's Gaze would appear next after each disappearance. [[Lutari Island]] and [[Altador]] were of major discussion, and many users were angry at the thought it would arrive as Lutari Island, because it was only available to user who had [[Neopets Mobile]].
*After the plot, [http://www.neopets.com/games/eyeofthestorm.phtml Eye of the Storm], staring ''The Cyodrake's Gaze'''s crew, was released. The game was available for Premium Beta testing during the plot.

'''The Cyodrake's Gaze''' is a vessel that first appeared on the at the harbour of [[Krawk Island]]. It seems to be a lead up to a new world, and to the next [[plot]].

The ship contained exclusive foods, weaponry, and medicines which were available for sale before it disappeared. The design of the [[Wikipedia:Junk (ship)|ship's rigging]], along with the items it was supplying, seem to imply that the vessel comes from a [[Wikipedia:China|Chinese]] style world (although similar Chinese ships are not capable of flight, unlike The Cyodrake's Gaze). Its relation to the [[Cyodrake]], the [[Petpet]] which it borrows its name from, is unknown.

It is suspected that a new world may be released due to the overall oriental style of the ship, probably named ''Shenkuu'', a name revealed on the [[Kou-jong]] page accidentally at its first release. More than likely, this will be an the island on the other side of [[Neopia]].

==Plot Summary==
The Cyodrake's Gaze appeared at [[Krawk Island]] on the August 3, 2006, unable to make it to [[Mystery Island]], their destination. The ship had just sailed through a storm, during which they lost much of their supplies and also appeared to have lost their navigator, [[Hoban]], overboard. [[Captain Tuan]] shared his story with users, detailing what happened from his perspective. Three days later, presumably when the ship had repaired sufficiently, it sailed away.

On 8th August, the ship appeared on the shores south of [[Mystery Island]]. As they resupplyed their ship, but it appeared Hoban had not reached the island. [[Kentari]] gave his story of the night in which Hoban disappeared, saying Hoban gestured angerily with his words instead of calm like in Captian Tuan's version. Kentari later went to the weapon storage to check on the weapons, and noted [[Chef Bonju]] walking out with something concealed after his usual inspection. Before he could confront him, everyone was called on deck to deal with the storm. The ship set sail at midnight [[NST]] on the August 11, again having stopped for only three days.

On the August 15, the ship reappeared in [[Faerieland]], the Captain forgoting to mention that the ship can fly. Chef Bonju gave his version of the events, noting Hoban said his words very calmly and everyone enjoyed his food. He also saw [[Linae]] and [[Anshu]] talking together after the meal, seeming to plot something, and continued to do dishes until everyone was called onto the deck for the storm. As he wandered about the deck, he was approached by Hoban who was angry because Linae had said he was cursed and brought bad luck to the crew. After telling his story, the user asked if he was in the weapons room, to which Chef Bonju finally admitted to, but says he only borrowed a knife to carve with, as his best knife had vanished. The weapon he was shown with from the store does not seem suitable for carving, however, but whether this is significant or a mistake on the part of the artists is not clear.

The Cyodrake's Gaze left Faerieland on 19th August at midnight, and reappered on the [[Lost Desert]] on the 23rd. Following the advice of the ship's captain, Linae is asked to give her version of events. She insisted Hoban said his words dramatically, calling it a "hex". When prompted, she admits to having talked with Anshu as Chef Bonju had claimed, but according to her, she was talking about the bad state of the food - considering the length the crew members try to go to about the dinner, this does seem unlikely. After dinner, she retired to her cabin to play Kou-Jong but missed her ''Lost Desert Sunset'' piece, which she found up on the deck. As she went to retrieve it, she heard who she thought was Anshu and Hoban arguing with each other before the storm started. She continued to do her duties above deck until she went below to help Anshu repair a leak. When asked if she saw Hoban, she said they worked together on two occasions, in which he looked menacing to her, and hoped none of his luck would harm her.

On the 27th August, the ship set sail again, and returned to Mystery Island on the 29th. The ship's captain says that he is running out of time and patience, and that he suspects one or more of the crew are hiding something: their stories do not tally. Shumi gives unlocks Hoban's map room to allow the user to examine it: there are two documents ([http://images.neopets.com/cgship/maps/grid_2837fn3suq.gif a grid] and [http://images.neopets.com/cgship/maps/nav_gkd83jdl2i.gif a map] seeming to show the direction change from Mystery Island to Krawk Island) annotated in red which are of interest. It should be noted that, presumably, since Hoban disappeared only Shumi has had access to this room. Anshu, is then questioned His story tallies with Linae's, except he says Linae asked her about a medical problem, not the food. When prompted, he agrees that he had an argument with Hoban, which he says was over whether they could stop at port on Krawk Island to pick up some herbs. During the storm, he was fixing a leak below deck, but notes that he heard Hoban shouting in this time, and also that he saw Hoban arguing with someone again at 5:00, which Bonju also observed.

==Crew==
The Cyodrake's Gaze is manned by the following [[Neopets]], in the order they are encountered in the plot.

'''''Captain Tuan'''''

[[Captain Tuan]], a Blue [[Gnorbu]], is captain of the ship, and has taken it upon himself to find his lost crewmate Hoban. Though until the forth chapter he insists that you will be of little help to him, he continues to allow you to investigate, and suggest a crew member to interview each time his ship moves. By the time the ship reached the Lost Desert, the captain has decided that the user's willingness to help is geniune and gives the user his gratitude, and starts to wish more Neopians would be as kind, but trails off before he finishes the thought.

'''''First Mate Shumi'''''

[[First Mate Shumi]], a Green [[Scorchio]], First Mate Shumi is the first of the crew to give his story on Hoban's disappearance, and apparently doesn't play much of a role in any of the stories, even his own. It was him that suggested to the captain they needed outside help.

'''''Orrin'''''

[[Orrin]] is a Red [[Nimmo]], who keeps the inventory on all the ship's stores. He saw someone being swept overboard during the storm, and it is believed to be Hoban.

'''''Navigator Hoban'''''

The navigator of the ship, [[Hoban]] the yellow [[Aisha]] is responsible for plotting the ships course. He was apparently swept overboard in a storm, and the crew set out to look for him. In each recollection of the events of that night, Hoban is seen first carrying only an empty bag at his side...but later appears to have acquired three scrolls. Appears to have threatened to sail the ship into a storm as a bit of revenge.

'''''Linae'''''

[[Linae]] is a pink [[Kougra]], who hosts the game Kou-jong. She seems to have told Hoban that he was very bad luck.

'''''Chef Bonju'''''

An orange [[Blumaroo]], [[Chef Bonju]] manages the [[Magical Cooking Vessel]], which appears to be related to the [[Cooking Pot]] on Mystery Island. He was noted in the second chapter of the plot to be sneaking out of the arms room, possibly concealing something. He claims in the third chapter to have gotten a small blade from there to use in place of his knife which had gone missing.

'''''Kentari'''''

[[Kentari]], a yellow [[Shoyru]] manages and sells weaponry from the ship. He is the second crew member to give his story on Hoban's disappearance, and keeps check of the weaponry stores.

'''''Anshu'''''

[[Anshu]] is a brown [[Ruki]], who sells medicines from the ship. Bonju believes that he and Linae are conspiring to do something in chapter 3, but Linae claims that they were only discussing how bad the food was.

==Trivia==
*References to [[Mystery Island Volcano]], the [[Lost Desert Plot]] and the [[Altador Plot]] were made in the release of the plot in the saying...<blockquote>''Ah ha! So there is more going on! Clever one, you are. You hesitate for a moment, though, if only because you remember previous times you've offered to help a strangers. Volcanoes... and spike traps... and flooded cities. *shudder*''</blockquote>
*Many theories emerged throughout the participation of the plot where the Cyodrake's Gaze would appear next after each disappearance. [[Lutari Island]] and [[Altador]] were of major discussion, and many users were angry at the thought it would arrive as Lutari Island, because it was only available to user who had [[Neopets Mobile]].
*An as-so-far unreleased game, [http://www.neopets.com/games/eyeofthestorm.phtml Eye of the Storm], staring ''The Cyodrake's Gaze'''s crew, has been found.
