A discussion of this test is at: http://www.atitd.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8755 This thread had to be closed/moves and discussion can now take place at : http://www.atitd.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8981

PHASE A : FACING THE VEIL OF DEATH

• STEP 1: Sign-up

Go to the university of Leadership and sign up for the test. You will then receive a message to come back with 7 Embalmers. They have to be initiated in Leadership.

• STEP 2: Getting started

You come back with 7 Embalmers and make your group of Embalmers.

• Step 2a) Embalmers

Each of the seven Embalmers will be assigned to one of the 20 crystals god. In addition they will receive a message to prepare a [Mushroom] essence(1).

• Step 2b) Embalmee

You are told to build your temple where you shall lie. You are also given an order of mushroom that fit your metabolism. The list consist of the 28 mushrooms in a specific order from 1st to be drank to last to be drank. Note that the Embalmee never knows who is assigned to which god, nor which poison he must take, he has to trust his Embalmers.

• STEP 3: Take a deep breath and die.

Receive your mushroom essence from your embalmers and drink them in the correct order (according to the list). Drinking an essence you werent meant to drink or drinking them in the wrong order will cause a permanent death.

If you drink the right essences in the right order, you reincarnate as a ghost, until you are Reborn, Awaken or Dead. as a ghost, you can teleport freely to anyone online. You cannot interact with any building (exception for the University of Leadership), character or environment. You cannot contact or be contacted by /chat or /tell, cannot talk in guilds, but can freely talk in main, albeit your voice doesn't echo on mics.

PHASE B : BEYOND THE VEIL OF DEATH

Each of the 7 steps must be accomplished within 24 hours RL, starting at the time of your death. The second day will start 48h after your death, the 3rd 72h, etc... When a step is completed, you are notified by the gods that they are satisfied (Gods use pop-up windows).

Everyday you visit ULead, there is only one option : Test of the Reborn. There is a submenu with the list of the 20(1) gods. Each of them has a special objective for this day.

Even gods that are not involved (there are 7 embalmers for 20 gods, so gods to which an Embalmer hasnt been assigned) will act as they have an embalmer and therefore demand objectives to be met everyday.

Note that the Embalmers are never given directly their instructions, and that the Embalmee is never directly told which Embalmer is assigned to which god.

If at the end of a day an embalmer hasn't performed his assigned task, the reborn wannabe will never reborn. He will be a ghost forever. (At least for the rest of the tale).

• DAY 1 : Craft the Kenobic Jars

Each god gives the following instructions : My assigned Embalmer must craft a Kenobic Jar, which requires a jug, two items depending on the god, and one Paint:[Colour], randomly choosen. The ritual to craft a Kenobic Jar is very simple : ie. Embalmer assigned to [GodName] must place [Item1] on left pillar, Jug on Left focus, Paint:[Colour] on right focus, [Item2] on right pillar, then bless the altar.

• DAY 2 to 6 :

Each god, each day, gives one of following whims :

- My Embalmer must prepare the body with Funeral Oil(2) of [Flavor] - My Embalmer must burn a specific [Resin] at the Tumb's Altar - My Embalmer must sacrifice a specific [Item] at the Tumb's Altar - I am fed up with my name lame Embalmer. Make him recruit another, and he will no longer be able to serve as an Embalmer for you. - I have taked with [GodName] and we have decided to swap our Embalmers. - I have decided to change my Kenobic Jar Colour. Have it [Colour] - I have talked with [GodName]. He wants you to recruit another Embalmer to serve him. (You then have 8 embalmers to coordinate). - I have decided to test the loyalty of my assigned Embalmer. If s-he accept and you succeed to reborn, you'll both be fine. If s-he accept and you fail to reborn, s-he will die with you. If she refuses, you'll die right now and s-he will be fine. Have him-her come tell me his-her answer.

Note that because a God can be fed up of his Embalmer and another god decided to swap embalmer in the same day, Whims apply in a specific order (God Alphabetical order).

• DAY 7 : Remove the Organs

Each god gives the following instructions : My assigned Embalmer must remove [Organ] using a Ritual Blade(3) of Quality [xxxx] or better.

Between Success & Failure, an Egyptian between Life & Death

The Ghost can revive her-himself (Awake) at any time, clicking on himself and selecting the appropriate option. S-He will then fail the test forever, but s-he will survive. The Ghost can only Awake while the test has not been failed.
