<p>Hi MouseHunters!</p>
 
  
−
<p>Now that many of you are settled into classes and the rest of the back-to-school specials are over in your local stores, we figured we'd buck the trend, and give it to you WHILE you're with your friends at school! (I mean, who likes using SB+ alone anyways?!?).</p>
+
'''Viceroy hunters and above can now embark on a new adventure.'''<br>
 +
A new area has released in the Folklore Forest!
  
−
<p>Until monday at 5pm EDT, we'll be offering SB+ at 15% off. We rarely ever do this (in fact, it's only happened once before...) so if you're in the market for SuperBrie+, I'd highly recommend you get some quick.</p>
+
==== The Draconic Depths has Surfaced! ====
 +
Thanks to Ronza's tireless efforts, the Mythweaver's latest plot has been discovered and it is unfolding beneath our very feet.
  
−
<p>In case you're unaware of what SB+ does, it's a cheese that attracts mice to your trap nearly 100% of the time...(REPEAT: I said NEARLY ;) Go ahead, try it out by buying some, or get some given to you from a friend. You'll see the difference it makes nearly immediately. </p>
+
Instead of invading a world of fantasy yet again, this time the Mythweaver plans to invade the world with fantasy!

<p>Enjoy the lower prices! </p>

So after losing his tenure at the School of Sorcery, this malevolent mastermind took it upon himself to dig up the very essence of fear and destruction in the minds and hearts of Gnawnians: dragons!

==== New Dragon Hunting Gear at the New Trapsmith ====

The Trapsmith at the Draconic Depths is well prepared to aid the MouseHunters of Gnawnia in their daunting task to descend into this dangerous den of dragons!

<blockquote>
 
−
<p>A new area is now open for Lord and Lady hunters!</p>
 
  
−
<p>Zugzwang's Tower is located in the Rodentia Region, and hunters can gain access to it once they have collected four key shards from the Seasonal Garden and assembled them into Zugzwang's Tower Key. The tower is like no other hunting location in the game, featuring a brand new way to hunt mice!</p>

<p>If you have been hunting in the new Seasonal Garden area, you have no doubt noticed your increasing 'Tower Amplifier' stat on the heads-up display. With the tower now open, it's time to put that amplifier to use! When hunting in Zugzwang's Tower, your trap's power will be multiplied by your Tower Amplifier, providing a power bonus of up to 75%. When your amplifier drops below 100%, your trap's power and luck will begin to reduce, until they become zero and you are incapable of capturing mice. When your amplifier runs low, make sure to return to the Seasonal Garden to recharge it.</p>

<p>Your amplifier won't be the only new stat displayed on your heads-up display while in Zugzwang's Tower. Additionally, two new progress bars will appear showing how many Technic and Mystic mice you have caught since you entered. Upon capturing the correct mice, new types will then be available along with previous varieties. The correct order of capture is: Eight pawns, two knights, two bishops, two rooks, one queen and finally the king. In order to win, you will have to battle your way through all the chess pieces in the Tower.</p>

<p>There's lots of new items and loot to be found in the tower! Hunting kings may reveal how to attract a more fearsome adversary who holds a key item to crafting a very powerful base. The Seasonal Garden's trapsmith and general store have new items for sale specifically for hunting within Zugzwang's Tower. Winning this game of chess will require some thought and strategy, so study these new traps and items carefully and plan your moves in advance!</p>
