The Chessboard ring event.

The chessboard in PoM is now surrounded by Jester looking mobs. One side has all white pieces(this includes
the outer hallway...white pawns, white bishops, white knights, white castles, and white queens). The other
half is the black pieces. Killing a white piece will always respawn another white piece, it is random tho.
Kill a pawn and a queen could spawn.
Each piece can drop an idol corresponding to its name. IE A white queen will drop a white queen piece.
I never saw a pawn piece drop anything, but the others did. Drops are uncommon/rare.

There are 2 quest mobs on each throne, Ronald Brumplefoot and...I forget the other's name. One plays for white
the other for black. I talked to Ronald, he played for white...

[Tue Aug 26 23:36:43 2003] You say, 'Hail, Ronald Brumplefoot'

[Tue Aug 26 23:36:43 2003] Ronald Brumplefoot says 'What does one have to do to win at this game?
Each move I make they counter a better move. I sure could use some help.'

[Tue Aug 26 23:36:48 2003] You say, 'I will help'

[Tue Aug 26 23:36:48 2003] Ronald Brumplefoot says 'Oh you are willing to help me?
Very well I really need to end this game and put my opponent in check mate.
You can either gather up four white pawns to bring me closer to what I need.
Or if your willing to risk it all and go for check mate bring me one each of
a white bishop, white knight, white castle, and a white queen.
If you do so I'll have checkmate for sure.
However the pieces can get a little lively in the defense of their king
so be warned if you do so.'

Hand in the white knight, white castle, white bishop, and white queen to Ronald Brumplefoot...

[Tue Aug 26 23:41:11 2003] Ronald Brumplefoot says 'Oh wow you have done better than I ever expected.
I almost have him in checkmate if you could take care of these pieces I'll have him for sure!'
[Tue Aug 26 23:41:11 2003] You gain party experience!!
[Tue Aug 26 23:41:11 2003] A loud clattering is heard. The pawns have come to protect their king.

All mobs despawn and 8 white pawns spawned. Killed them all, and they gave 7% aa per kill. Same difficulty
as the normal pawns. (normal mobs give around 2% a kill)
After that, 2 white knights and 2 white bishops spawned. Killed them all, they gave 8% aa a kill. Same difficulty.
After that, 2 white castles and 1 White queen spawned. The castles gave us 11-14% a kill, same difficulty.
The queen was a bit harder, was blue to 65 and hit in the 800s.

Mind you we had one group. Me (Paladin), cleric, necro, bst, monk, and rogue. No problems so far, Queen got
us around 10%aa.

The White King spawns. HUGE agro range. cons red to a 65, hits for 1521 max hit, and hits like lightning.
Killed our cleric right off the bat then me..game over. He's mitigatingly slowable too.

We got a few more ppl and was going to try again but he poofed. He was up around 20-30 min.
Hopefully we can try again to see what he drops, but the xp in the ring event was well worth it.
He might be one groupable, if you are skilled, I would recommend 2-3 groups of 65.
