You may replay previously completed encounters as often as you like, there is no prize for completing an encounter other than qualifying to access the roof.
Party up and enter an encounter with other players for a greater chance of success. When partied only the party leader may initiate an encounter.
If your entire party dies or logs out you will fail the encounter and be ejected back to the entrance, where you may resurrect at the ankh.
You may also exit any encounter by accessing the context menu on your character and selecting “Exit Shadowguard.”

You may exit the queue for Shadowguard by selecting “Exit Shadowguard Queues” from the crystal ball.
Luck increases a player’s chance at obtaining a powerful artifact reward from Minax.
The following composite images include some clues which may help you complete the encounters
<h3>The Bar</h3>
<a href="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/sg-bar.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7844" src="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/sg-bar.jpg" alt="sg-bar" width="479" height="399" /></a>
There is a chance that a player who attempts to throw a bottle in the Bar encounter will be persuaded to drink it instead, causing them to get drunk.
Throwing a bottle while inebriated may result in hitting oneself with the bottle.
<h3>The Orchard</h3>
<a href="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/sg-orchard.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7845" src="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/sg-orchard.jpg" alt="sg-orchard" width="730" height="477" /></a>
Pick an apple, note the name, throw it at a tree - but which tree? <a href="http://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/gameplay/npc-commercial-transactions/the-virtues/">This page</a> may help you decide. The vile treefellows will let you know when you have made the wrong choice.
<h3>The Armory</h3>
<a href="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/sg-armory.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7846" src="http://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/sg-armory.jpg" alt="sg-armory" width="614" height="346" /></a>

<h3>The Fountain</h3>

Build a canal to connect the spigots to the drains using the pieces dropped by the vile water elementals.
Beware of holes in your canal caused by pieces timing out or of the number of vile water elementals reaching the cap of 30. Connecting a canal with a hole in can cause the spawning of their far nastier cousin, the hurricane elemental. While 30 water elementals exist the next elemental wave also has a chance to spawn a hurricane elemental.
Players may use an axe to chop unwanted canals, destroying them.
