Judging by the number of tentacles at Centrum, that hub ought to be for a visit from a few million melders!

GM SC, if that is the case, can you tell us when it is supposed to be active. Since the fortune teller's info is wrong. Or give us a hint. Thank you very much for your time.

The old crone's "scant hours" quote was written back when the HoC was on a 3-day heartbeat cycle, and we hadn't adjusted the text for the increased cycle.  I'll make sure the text gets adjusted (and the day it's sent also) for the next time around.

Best,

SC

I warn you. Do not send them out, do not transfer them away. Keep them safe whilst you prepare yourself.

I suppose all we have to do is wait... Has anyone tried to play with fire and move the tentacles around though? Doing this probably interferes with the quest and can cause it to fail; but perhaps we're expected to get curious and ignore the "don't transfer them away" warning.
This sure seems unlikely to trigger much progress, but... could be worth trying at some point.

Half of me thinks we have to feed it all again but then the old crone's "few scant hours" doesn't computer with this scenario.

The developers have proved themselves capable of conjuring up marauding mammoths fairly quickly in the past.  Either what they intended to have happen didn't happen because of an error in the coding, or it still is going to happen with the time is right (soon(tm)?), or the fortune teller is a charlatan.

I'm guessing the people at the Temple of Reason are laughing their asses off at us right now.

Maybe it means that you will have only a few hours of time left once the 'incoming' melder/evil armies are seen in the army movements screen? 
They must have made it like this to avoid getting the towns defended with millions of troops from all over the server. Keep the cities well defended until it happens! Thumbs Up

I think that the message left by the old crone was seriously inaccurate.
You only have a few scant hours.... yeah whatever!
Maybe the logic is working as intended but the text is clearly rubbish.
I fully expect the melders to show up in 6 months when everyone has died of boredom or quit.

I hope you are right! Especially if the attack waits so long that my reinforcements have left >.<

I think mainly, since we have worked a year to wake up audrey twice etc. and have waited 2 months just for this last part, we want to have no chance of failing.
