Random Draws (3 Winners): Solar Sabercat Mount and 10k Crowns 

What are you waiting for, hop to it Pirates!


Winners

First Place: Lazy Cyrus Neasmith
The Boss I have imagined is... The Khan of the Raiders Tribe. He is a horse barbarian of level 30 that you will be able to find in the Flotsam Skyway, it will be an optional objective that will require you to have Subodai on your team and to be level 32. Quest giver- One Eyed Jack. This will be a Swashbucler only boss fight. The Khan will have a lot of health, decent damage, Vegnance Strike 3 and Repel Boarders 2. He will be followed by other horse barbarians and other Mooshoo creatures.

Story: The Raiders Tribe was a big Horse tribe in Mooshoo, that used to raid some Monk temples. That's why the Samoorai have driven them away to Skull Island. Now, their Khan plans to strike Skull Island and make it a Horse Barbarian Island, from where to strike against Mooshoo. Subodai finds about this (through the quest you will be given) from some others of his kind, and that's when you need to go and fight The Khan.

The Khan himself was born by the smartest Horse Barbarian of the Tribe. Being smart and powerful himself, The Khan has taken the lead of the Tribe when the old one has died in battle. Along with the new Khan, the Tribe became powerful and successful. But when the Samoorai have attacked the Raiders Tribe, most where imprisoned. The Khan and some of his men ran away on a boat and have landed in Skull Island.

The Khan's name is unknown, not even his men know it. But what matters is that he wants to take Skull Island for himself, and the pirates will become homeless if that happens!

Second Place: Tristan
Madame Adria was a student at pigswick academy, she wanted to study more than what her class had to offer, her old friend Madame Vadima suggested she should research into black magic. Madame Adria refused. She went on to find something called "Shadow magic" little did she know it was more than she could handle. The shadow engulfed  Madame Adria and she was never seen again in pigswick academy. Madame Vadima now in skull island, was crystal gazing and saw herself in the shadows.. Madame Adria plans on sending skull island and everyone in it into the shadow. 
Cheats: Madame Adria charms one of your companions into the shadow every 4 rounds.
They can only be released once she is defeated.


Random Draws: Faithful Flint Orsley, Marissa Yellowfish, Dark Colin Holystone

Ahoy pirates! It's the third week of August, and that means contests!! The new Nefarious Tower has hit the Test Realm just days ago, and plenty of pirates are taking on the challenge to climb to the top and defeat Moo Manchu yet again (while receiving great drops along the way!). Each floor will pose as a challenge to even the most advanced pirates, and this type of content makes us wonder... what other kinds of dungeons might we see in the game?

We want to hear what YOU think! For this contest, we want you to come up with an idea for a new dungeon - it can be long or short, part of the mainline or a side quest, or whatever else you come up with. The only real rule when creating your gauntlet is that it should be difficult! It doesn't have to be insane, but, like the new Tower, we're looking for something that will be a fun challenge!

Rules

Design an original gauntlet! Be sure to include its location and give us a breakdown of the floors/rooms.
Tell us a little bit more about your idea. Why do we have to visit it? Who's the main boss - is it someone we've encountered before like Moo Manchu, or an entirely new villain? What are we trying to accomplish there?
There's no restrictions on how short/long your entry can be, but be sure to include enough information! We want to be able to fully understand your idea so you have the greatest chance of winning!
Your idea must be original. While you can reuse enemies that we have already met/fought in the game, make sure it's your own work!
Feel free to create new drops, like those in the new Tower!
Are there cheats?
A major factor when judging will be creativity, so you can include whatever else you'd like, so long as it's relevant to your idea - drawings, computer graphics, quest dialogue, etc.

Your entry does not need to be very lengthy at all - have fun with it! Once you're finished with it, send it to us at admin@adventuresofthespiral.com with the subject "Dungeon Design Contest". Please remember to include your pirate's name (or your community name) with your entry!

Prizes

It is Arrrgust, after all, so that means prizes! The winning entry will be one that we at AoS really feel created an awesome dungeon that would be a great addition to the game - we'll award the grand prize winner with 10,000 Crowns. We'll also pick 5 more entries after that - these will also be ones that we really like, and these winners will all win 5,000 Crowns. The next 10 winners will be picked from the remaining entries, taking home 1,000 Crowns each. Please note that you must have a completely valid entry to be eligible for the random draw.

We'll pick the winners two weeks from the contest's start date - September 1st at 11:59 PM EST. That should give you plenty of time to come up with your unique idea!

We can't wait to see everyone's ideas... happy Arrrgust, everyone, and enjoy testing out the new Tower of Moo Manchu currently in the Test Realm! Maybe running it a couple times will give you some ideas for your own gauntlet!
