Both times I've encountered this explorable the 'evil' chess pieces immediately attack the rothe 'pawns'. No way to win the game, they go just crazy on you. Which is very, very, very, scary.
Both times I was the first to find it, and both times the chess pieces killed the rothe pawns then quickly turned on us.
As I understand how it was meant, it is broken.
This, I'm fairly certain, is actually working as intended.
Not sure if the pawns should be rothe. I recall a bug where creatures in the Rot quest were being replaced by rothe. Could be the same thing going on here.
This is hearsay but another player was told you are supposed to play the chess game to win the prize. If I had not got that message I would not have even bothered posting this.
I spoke too soon. The rothe should not be rothe but a more appropriate pawn model. Everything else, however, is working as intended.
Rothe should no longer be spawning as pawns next reset.
No idea if this is relevent but I came across this, and when we walked across the board, "defending pawns" spawned.
The defending pawns are suppose to spawn, yes.
I mean more accurately, when you walked across the back row, they spawned one at a time - after the fight was over.
(this was the same bugged one from before, with the rothe)
Hopefully everything's working next reset.
