Lyndo's Journal Quest?

[monitorman]

I was re-running Act II Hell and came upon an area I'd missed before. The Wki page doesn't have info yet.

An NPC is in front of an inactive portal, and says his brother died activating it. He then runs away.

There's a column to push, the portal opens, and I just got a jar, which when smashed, was empty...

Anyone have anything different happen?

I had this one too; was expecting an ambush and nothing happened. I think they probably messed up an event trigger or something.

There are a number of events like this (that work) that don't always spawn, which should help the replayability everyone is worried about.

There is another one in act I in which a farmer invites you in to meet his wife. Very creepy. I've only seen that one once.

That one is hillarious. Found that one in NM. Creepy, nonetheless.

It's WAI, I believe. I did it three times with three different results.

1. A destructable pedestal appeared. Breaking it did nothing.
2. A Resplendent Chest appeared.
3. A Bloody Chest appeared.

It's one of those random things inside a random area. I'm betting one of the possibilities is getting *****slapped by something awful, too.

There's an achievement which says 'get all the different random results from (whatever the name of the event is) in act 2'.

Could be that?

Yeah, I think that's what that is. I think I got a regular chest from it, and something else un-memorable.

It's the ancient device in the desolate sands. So far, I've only gotten a pile of corpses which spawns some zombies. I've been trying to farm the area to get the achievement, but the event doesn't spawn that frequently.
