"series" is a qualifier as well 
I like that the Hall of Judgment is being 'used'

Speculation: I just did the quest, easy as it was there was nothing that I read that would make sense for it to be a 1 year only quest. I am speculating (hoping) that maybe it is the beginning of a quest chain that will run through the week and maybe we will finally see what is behind those doors!? I have wanted to know that since my 1st trip to the UW.
Edit: I type slow, it is part of a series, so far speculation is good

Possible permanent change to the Underworld? Coming from the Halloween event.
That would justify the amount of time that Linsey has said she put into this.
Edit: At least you can do this on each of your characters to get more reward!!!!

Mr. Undisclosed
lol what would make you think there was only one quest? The event page pretty plainly states theres multiple.
Apollo Smile
Awesome! Its hilarious how speed clears have helped to make Dhuum stronger.

Regina or Linsey can u confirm that when the halloween quests go live it will be at 12 pst on those days.

I want to thank Linsey and Anet for these great quests. On behalf of both myself and Daniel, I think I can safely say these quests are a blessing. They tie in great with the Horrorween, and feel like a great recognision of all the hard work that has gone into hosting these events the last 5 years. Thank you all and have a great Halloween.

Does the "series" also imply we need to do the previous one to be able to take the follow-up?

Very nice quest and it seems to be building to something very interesting.
Looking forward to more, thanks for the new content

O_o did you guys notice the doors to the Hall of Judgment opened a fraction after you talk to the king?
I'm loving this so far ^_^

upier: The quest is part of a chain/series, so you will need to do the first one before you can do the second one.
Apollo Smile: You can take the quests for as long as the NPCs are there to give them out. In other words, quests will be enabled throughout the event, but you can do them at any point (as long as you see the quest givers there). For example, if I didn't have any time to do Quest 1 today, I could still do it tomorrow, because the Mad King's Steward will still be there for me to talk to.

Very cool.
I wonder if the other quests will be as simple as this one was. o_O

Reserving comments until I see all quests, but so far so good. Especially liking how the lore ties into it.
I bet that the reason it won't be available again is because it will either be a reason to change UW and/or be an indication of a change that will be in GW2 lore-wise.

ANet took a player-created (and developer-allowed) farm and turned it into lore? I'm not sure how to react to that.

Anyway doubt it has anything to do with gw2, just a little story to go along with the uw changes that will come.
Edit: Damn MisterB beat me to it.

I love it!
This first quest was fun and easy, and did a really nice job of tying-in lore as well as some other, very nice tie-ins.
I can't wait for the rest of the series!

yep first was easy and if nothing else the tot bags and tonics will help with titles (though tot bags seem to only give me sweets/alcohol....and not party points 
)....we shall see what transpires with the next quest (s).....

first i can say i give the quest a 2 out of 5. -1 for having to use a tonic. what if you didnt have one? i can see people selling them for more now. -1 the hardness of monsters. would have been more fun if they used some other types aka like grenches in wintersday. and last -1 for the long run. lucky for me i knew where to go for it. then i had to try and explain how to do it to peeps in my allaince.
So their will be more? do we have to wait until tomorrow then? Oh and the reward was okay just wish it was more.

I have to say, I really liked this quest. I liked the dialogues and it was a nice change of pace . Can't wait for the next quests.
The way was actually shown by pings on the radar.

5/5 for me.
This is the "lead-in quest", I'm happy it's easy and it's fun. You get to know the skills you'll be using in the upcoming parts, and you familiarize yourself with the UW as much as you can.
Having to use a tonic: I don't see a problem with this, just buy one, or ask a friend to give you one. There was a tonic giveaway in my alliance to people who didn't have any.
Hardness of monsters: I am not an UWSC farmer, so it's quite nice for me to be able to see the UW monsters (like the smite crawlers for instance), plus it's very easy to get by them if you use your given skills smart. Yes they can hit you hard, but the point is to not let them do so, right?
Long run: Once I figured out the way to go, it took me approximately 2 minutes to run from start to finish. Not exactly what I'd call "long" ^_^.
My only frustration came from the fact that I am not that familiar with the layout of the UW, and the little yellow "pings" on your radar don't really help you figure out the way. They tend to ping behind you, from the way you came, not where you're supposed to go.
Still, easy enough to figure out.
EDIT: Love the dialogue, especially the "You look delicious! You're lucky I don't have a mouth!" and "Too many beings have been slain recently in the Underworld." and of course "Go tell your master to heed my warning... Dhuum is coming!"
Puts you into a very anticipating mood. Can't wait til tomorrow! ^_^
Anet, good job with the first one, can't wait to play the rest!!

Kewl! I'm super excited about the upcoming quests now!
Also, ridiculous amounts of title points for very little effort? Yes please! 15:1 return ratio is uhhh, good, to say the least.
