What if we had an area designated as instanced, but similar to the Black Swan castle, that was available once or twice a year. There would be a castle, which had to be stormed, to either defeat an enemy who had taken over the castle, or to rescue some nobility, etc. To storm the castle, would require the use of catapults, trebuchets, etc from one room (area). Another area would permit the use of scaling ladders or such to climb the walls. and perhaps another area for archers to shoot at the walls to keep defenders down, or majikers to cast their area spells against the walls and fortified enemies. This multiple area would enable many professions to join together and enjoy the storming of a castle or fort.

After the castle was stormed, players could take a week to find a treasure room or such, which the bounty could be shared, etc. Or a week where orcs, trolls, or such, leveled by different areas of the castle where all could defend the castle for a week.

Plenty of events, both merchant and invasion, have had very iffy IC reasonings, why not this one?

Just call it a temporal reversion loop portal that last x number of days before resetting into a similiar, but not exact world. Tie it into some group from the bug race seeking to open a doorway to save/bring back more of their people. They can then be surprised when the rescuers find they've opened a doorway to someplace else and end up entering...

That's just what we want, criss-crossing furrows all over the town streets from someone wandering through with their animated plow super buddy.

This already WAS a quest! On the Wavedancer! The poor ghosts had to relive the death of their people like twelve times!
