Officials in Wehnimer's Landing have noticed an increase in troll activity in the Upper Trollfang. After sending several hunting parties to investigate, the source has been narrowed to the area immediately surrounding Black Swan Castle. The town is recruiting volunteers to venture into the Castle and investigate. Because of the danger involved, each hunting party has three hours to explore before being extracted by a rescue team and handsomely rewarded!
Black Swan Castle has a long and storied past. While it was once the pride of the countryside, resplendent with its pristine white marble walls and graceful swan-like curves, dark magic twisted it into its current form a century ago when undead hordes descended on it and the surrounding village. Vestiges of the battle are still visible both inside and outside the castle.
Rumors of dangerous booby traps inside the Castle abound. Can you get by them and discover the source of the trouble? Do you have the brains, guts, and heart to Return to Black Swan Castle?
Quest Details
Up to 10 players can participate in the Return to Black Swan Castle quest This is a heavily puzzle-based quest that relies on good party balance and a breadth of available party skills. Players are strongly encouraged to bring a diverse group of professions and races for maximum success. While there is limited combat, there are many things that can maim and kill unwary adventurers!
Tickets and pricing should be following shortly. Or soon. Presently? Pick your favorite word for "I don't know right now, but want to post anyway."

I haven't seen the final schedule yet, but yes, plat will see this quest, too. Maybe not this month.
While the quest is fully automated, I asked for quest times that I'd be available for in case anything goes wrong. I work full time and go to school full time, so the quest schedule may be light until I feel comfortable that nothing too unexpected will happen when I'm not around.

"Sorry, this would be my first quest. Is this something lower level characters can participate in, or would a group of 10 level 15 or 20s not have the necessary skills to complete it? Would it be a detriment to a group of higher level characters to bring some a lowbie?"
I wouldn't mind an answer to the above question either, is it possible for lower level characters to participate in such events or should they not bother to try buying tickets? If it is possible, how would that work would you need to buy your tickets as a lower level group, if it is not possible perhaps a level requirement should be put in the information.
Either one works for me would just like to know.
