The grand silver crown of the dwarves, forged for Gotrek Firemane in Aegis and worn by both him and his successor, Grand King Thorik Braveaxe. On Thorik's death, the crown was taken by his killer. Now it has been rediscovered, deep in the ruins of Karik in the hands of forces unknown. But it is not a simple matter to just walk in and take it: Karik is collapsed and abandoned, overrun with slimes and guarded by two collosal winged monsters. Yet a few bold adventurers have ventured into Karik and survived. Now a group of treasure hunters seeks to once more enter the ruined city, and claim the priceless Crown for themselves...
Event Planners, MC Names: Lagomorphia, luchian
Event Type: Expedition, Battle, Fight With Dragons
Event Date: Currently Monday 9th April, but this will need to be changed if the disguise plugins are not updated in time.
Factions/Nations affected by the event: The Dwarves may be affected, as their crown holds symbolic worth.
Event Location: Karik
Summary: The group of treasure hunters venture into Karik, and must navigate through its dangers to the main streets. They must then find a way to bypass the lava, by means of a small number of Fire Resistance potions, avoiding awakening the dragons in the process. These potions allow a few of them to bypass the lava fall blocking the entrance to the upper levels of the Royal Keep. The treasure hunters must choose who goes through to block off the lava fall. However, after those who took the potions have walked through, the dragons awaken, collapsing the entrance to the main cavern, and the remaining treasure hunters must somehow defeat or escape the dragons and anyone else present in Karik, be they bandits, rival treasure hunters or would be dragon slayers.
The main group venture into the upper levels of the King's Tower, where they find the mage who slew Thorik. Having been trapped in the tower for so long, the man's sanity has weakened, and he has spent his time in a make believe world, reenacting his defeat of the Grand King on an ancient Karik golem he has reactivated. Terrified by the intrusion, he orders the golem, which is wearing the crown, to attack while he looks for an escape.
It is a little known fact that the tower of Karik is so tall that the summit is above ground. The battle with the golem, combined with the shaking of the foundations and the frenzied attempts of the mage to use magic to blast his way to freedom, weakens the foundations of the King's tower, and it begins to collapse with the combatants still inside it. Seeing their chance for freedom, the dragons attempt to climb, claw and fly through the collapsing tower to freedom...

Other Information: I've been going through the details of this event with luchian and shiftnative for a couple of days. shiftnative said he'd look at this proposal thread, so I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone else in a position to accept or deny events doesn't do so until he has.
