******NEWS FLASH!****** I met this endearing gnome, Elsbeth, up in Vesspyr Ilses on Daarspire near Lord Yelnak. She told me her tell of woe about she and the love of her life having a delightful picnic when it was interrupted when they were attacked. They lost each other in the mad dash and she wants to save him. She has gone to gear up for a fight as she searches for her love. She will be looking for brave souls, ready to fight, to help her in her search! If you want to be a part of the search and rescue party, then go to Vesspyr Isles: Daarspire on Monday, February 13th at 5pm PST (8pm EST). But be prepared to battle and remember that place can be rough out there! I wish I could help out, but I have to work. I do hope you can assist Elsbeth. If you do, be sure to let me know how it went here. That way I can live vicariously through you!
Aww, thank you Cloudrat and Rosyposy! We are glad you liked the party and I am delighted to hear you enjoyed my Magic Show! Thanks for posting a picture of it Cloudrat! I was so busy doing magic I didn't have time to take any pictures of it!
Do to RL circumstances Our Dwarf could not make it...He will try to show up around 5pm pacific instead. So sorry!
Don't forget...in just over 3 hours...there will be a need for help in Norrath!

Wow! A Norrathian just reached out to me and told me about their spectacular rescue! See Elsbeth reunited with her love below!
A warm, flower-scented breeze courses throughout the Greater Faydark, whispering through the boughs of Ancient Kelethin, brushing gently against your cheek as you take in the tranquility of - "CURSED! Forever condemned to wander this physical realm, denied the promise of a warrior's paradise!" wails an unearthly voice, shattering the peaceful atmosphere. An adventurer's work is never done...

Bad Gryger! Naughty Gryger! Parents, don't let your kids see this... Gryger is playing hookey today. I was supposed to go to work blah blah blah but instead I'll roam around Norrath and have some fun with you guys. No Newsies or any of the other big ones, today it's all about kicking back and having fun. Not sure what or when so keep your eyes peeled here and in-game for info!
Let's get the rumor mill started! I've heard whispers that a Kerra Huntsman is in need of assistance in Antonica. He was up late last night, but Matsy Rollingpin won't let him sleep all day! I'll be he's already awake and eating breakfast. He'll probably be out and about by around 6am (Pacific Time) today.
I was passing through Steamfont a little earlier today and happened to notice a Troll that was running around extremely recklessly. I told him he was going to hurt himself, but you know Trolls... I'll bet he's going to wind up needing some help... Today (Mon 02/27/17) at noon Pacific
UPDATE: Happy Hour is still happening, just a little bit later (5:30pm pacific instead of 5pm) - sorry for the delay but I hear there's some gnomes having a little difficulty and they could sure use your help! Ho, Norrath! Guide Gryger here, inviting you to join me this evening (Mon 02/27 @ 5:30pm Pacific) for an EQ2 "happy hour"! Not quite sure of the venue yet, but it'll be someplace safe. There will be food, drink and I have a couple of bagfuls of those pesky "green shinies" ... See you there!
I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who showed up for our impromptu "Happy Hour" last night... It was great seeing you there! And a special thanks to my fellow Guides for pitching in! Please be sure to keep this thread on your watchlist so you can be informed of future quests/events! We love doing what we do, but without the players, we'd just be standing around talking to ourselves (not that there's anything wrong with that... LOL)
Isle of Refuge, With sadness, I must let you know of the passing of Senior Guide Keiona. She was a member of the Guide team on Isle of Refuge since the beginning, being on Skyfire, Permafrost and Antonia Bayle prior to the Isle of Refuge. I personally guided with her during her time on Permafrost, we went to Skyfire together and came to the Isle of Refuge together. The team and I will dearly miss her joyful spirit, guidance and encouragement and all she did for us. Rest in peace Keiona. To honor Keiona, we are holding a memorial to celebrate all she is on Sunday 5th March 2017 at 2pm PST. The memorial will be held on the Isle of Mara, near the waterfall. A team member will be on hand to guide you to the location if required. I do hope you can join us as we tell stories, laugh, cry and spend a time thinking about Keiona, remembering how thankful we are that we knew her. Please note - during this memorial to Keiona, no guide snack or shinies will be handed out. We wish to honor and celebrate Keiona.
Any chance we might see a dwarf stop by near Kaladim? I heard that they absolutely adore axes and I think I may have seen one or two laying around that a dwarf may find handy.
So there I was at the Butcherblock Docks, waiting for the boat to Thundering Steppes and I heard a dwarf talking with some merchants about Kaladim and the fabled weapons of the dwarves that dwelt there. He seemed quite intent on gathering research but I think he may be too busy to make the trip himself. I'd keep an ear out, I'm sure he'll be asking for help! Thursday 03/09/2017 7pm Pacific
Do you like a good story? Me too! I hear one of our Loresingers will be in the Village of Shin across from that beautiful waterfall today (Wed 3-08) at 1pm Pacific time. Let me know how the story was! *Please remember that actors for these events are players just like you who volunteer their time in the Volunteer Event Guide Program and for this reason the event may be canceled or delayed without notice.*
A flyer is being hung up. You stop to read it: To those of you following my story, part 3 will be told 3-11-17 at 1 pm pacific time (Saturday) Please join me in the Village of Shin across from the waterfall. I will bring the campfire you remember the marshmallows!

So while en route from the Moors back to the Sinking Sands, I spent some time with a rather friendly half-elf maid who was journeying across Norrath. We spoke at length about a great many things, truly a fascinating person. As I disembarked and escorted her to the Mariner's Bell I asked her where her final destination was. With a smile she replied "Oh, the Village of Shin! I've heard it's very tranquil there. I can't wait to get a nice cup of coffee and just relax!" I tried to stop her before she began the next step of her journey, to try and warn her that on the Isle of Mara they don't really have too much in the way of coffee, that they're more the tea type, but she was already gone. I don't know where she is at currently, but I do believe I know when she will be arriving at the docks on Mara. Perhaps you can help her with some coffee?

"I'm not so sure about this little escapade of yours, Dixbert. I mean, certainly it's not as dangerous as it was back in my day, but the Commonlands aren't my idea of a relaxing afternoon..." I said, taking a long pull from my Stein of Moggok. "Are you sure the Isle of Mara wouldn't be better? I mean, it's very tranquil, I'm sure you and your friends will have a lovely afternoon!" "Oh Gryger," the impetuous Halfling said, pulling open the door and walking out. "Mara is SO boring! No, I'm sure the Commonlands will be just fine. What could possibly go wrong?" and with that, he was gone. Folks, I'm pretty sure he's going to need some help before the end of the day... please keep an ear out for him. 03/26/2017 (Sunday) / 2pm PDT Guide Event Disclaimer: Please remember that the actors for these events are players just like you who volunteer their time in the Volunteer Guide Program and events may be canceled or delayed without notice.
