The Amulet of Mana Forum RPG

[sonicchaos1993]

Welcome to the land of Alathagia! 50 years ago, the Dark Lord of Alathagia took over the land, and covered it in his shadow realm. A girl named Julie used an ancient artifact called the Amulet of Mana to defeat the Dark Lord and seal him away in a prison of Mana energy, and banished his shadow realm from Alathigia. But now, he has returned, and only one with the power of Mana can seal him away again! Become the Light Mage Matt, Julie's granddaughter Swift, or one of 6 other heroes on a quest to defeat the Dark Lord once and for all!

Signups are limited to 4 people. Anybody else will become a replacement. Replacements will play as bosses and certain other enemies during certain battles.

Signups will end once 4 People have signed up, or on March 25th.

1 Slot left!

[sonicchaos1993]

As I will be unable to log on for most (if not all) of tomarrow, I will end the signups today. There is still one slot open, so anybody who isn't playing can take that slot. Just post if you want it, with the character you want to be. Until that slot is taken, the slot will be computer-controlled (in other words, controlled by me).

Here is how the RPG will work:

Any in-game events will be posted in italics.

Player and Enemy Actions will be in Bold.

Areas that can be interacted with are underlined.

Each player has a certain color assigned to them. Any text in that color pertains to that person, or signifies an object that only they can interact with. COLORS:
Kerma (Swift): Blue
Max (Matt): Gold
bowserfan (Keaki): Red
Computer/Me: Green

Example:
The heroes are in a large cavern. On the northern side of the room is a large door. bowserfan tries to open the door. The door doesn't budge. There are runes inscribed on the door. Kerma seems to reconize them.
There are treasure chests on the west and east sides of the room. In the center of the room, there are four pedestals. A heavy switch lies in the center of the pedestals.

NOTE: That was just an example, please don't post actions for it. Post actions for the following...

THE RPG BEGINS!

Max and bowserfan are running through the Cave of Ice. They see what they came for, the Ice Stone. Suddenly, the Guardian of Ice materializes almost out of nowhere, and chases the two out of the cave. They run across a bridge, and the Guardian hits the bridge with an Ice attack, breaking it. The only way to go is north, so the two go that way. There, they see Kerma and Sonicchaos facing a Light Angel. Suddenly, the Light Angel attacks!

As the heroes get up, the Light Angel takes an amulet that Kerma is wearing, and flies off.
THE LIGHT ANGEL HAS STOLEN THE AMULET OF MANA!
You are in the western area of Foresa, the forest village. The village is surrounded by a river. The bridges leading north and east have "Closed" signs on them. The bridge to the south is currently broken. To the west is the ocean, so you can't go that way either. There are two buildings here, a house and the Foresa General Store. A well lies in the center of the area. To the southeast, a little girl is standing next to a glowing, purple crystal. What do you do?

Although you were defeated by the light angel, you still gain some EXP.
Kerma gains 10 XP!
Max gains 20 XP!
bowserfan gains 25 XP!
pumpkinbob gains 10 XP!

The Light Angel has been added to the Bestiary!

Go to the well and take water

[sonicchaos1993]

A little side note: I will probaly not have access to internet after 10AM Central Time today. If I can get my dad's modem to work, I should be able to logon during the weekend, but if I can't, I won't be able to logon until Monday. You can keep playing, posting your actions and such while I am gone.

[Max]

Check out the house and the store

[bowserfan]

Go to the purple glowing crystal.

[sonicchaos1993]

bowserfan checks out the purple crystal. It seems to be magical. The girl standing near the crystal says, "This is a Healing Crystal. You can use it to heal yourself." bowserfan touches the crystal. The Healing Crystal restores the party to full health! Unfortunately, nothing happens, because everybody is already at full health.

Max checks the shop. A sign on the door says, "Closed. We open at 8:00AM." The current time is 7:55. The shop should be open after you check out the house.

The heroes enter the house. This is the house of Julie, Swift (Kerma)'s grandmother and the person who sealed away the Dark Lord 50 years ago. Julie is standing near the center of the room. Two doors are near the back of the house, to the northwest and northeast. A book lies on a table on the west side of the room. You can return to Foresa using the door behind you, too the south.

[bowserfan]

Then go to the Foresa General Store.

[sonicchaos1993]

bowserfan leaves Julie's house and walks into the general store.

(Those who are removed are added to the replacements list)

If you are going to be away for a longer period of time (2 weeks or longer), then send in a PM to me beforehand. If you are gone for over 2 weeks, and you didn't send in a PM, you will most likely be replaced. The game can continue even if I am sending out an anti-lurk PM.

Players Pending A.L. PM's:

[bowserfan]

Go out of the store, then see that important NPC...

[sonicchaos1993]

bowserfan exits the store.
bowserfan enters Julie's house.
bowserfan talks to Julie.

Note: During cutscenes, the character names of the party members will be used instead of the name of the person who controlls that character.

Julie uses a magical power so that the other players can hear her speak. "Swift, what happened to the amulet?"
Swift, uses the same ability. "A Light Angel stole it..."
Julie: "You must recover it. While in the hands of the Light Angel, it should be safe from the Dark Lord's minions for a little. Eventually, the Dark Lord will send somebody to take it from the Light Angel, and if they succeed in destroying it... All will be lost."
Matt uses his own magical powers to communicate as well. "What is so special about one amulet? The same powers can be gained by using the Mana Stones..."
Julie: "More than just mana power will be needed to seal away the Dark Lord..."
Swift: "Deep inside the amulet is a power that channels the mana energies into a prison form. Although we will have the power need to seal away the Dark Lord even without the amulet, we will not have the ability to give the prison its shape unless we find the amulet."
Matt: "That Light Angel is tough. I can absorb its light spells, but until the three of you get stronger, you don't stand a chance against its Solar Flare spell."
Julie: "Perhaps these will help."

Kerma gained the Berserk ability!
When Kerma's HP is critical (10% or lower), Strength and Speed get a big boost!
Max gained the Solar Aura ability!
As long as Max is alive, the party gets a slight boost to Magic Defence.
bowserfan gained the ability Determination!
Determination gives bowserfan a chance of surviving a 1-hit KO move with 1HP.
pumpkinbob gained the ability Sniper!
At the beginning of an encounter, pumpkinbob has a very slight chance of sniping one of the foes, KO'ing them. This has no effect on bosses or on certain other foes.
Julie gave every party member 100GP!
The bridges in Foresa West have been opened! You can now go east to Foresa East and north to the Northern Woods!

Max still has 5 Stat Points to spend!

Kerma: 100GP

First to Foresa east!

[bowserfan]

I buy the potion in the store, then go to northern woods.

[sonicchaos1993]

A quick note about abilities: Abilities are always active during battle, as long as the player with that ability is alive and in battle. Each player can has five abilities, but don't know them all. Each player can only have three abilities on at a time, and abilities with the same effect don't stack. (For example, if one player has two abilities that give +3 and +5 DEX, then the player would just get the +5DEX bonus.) Abilities with the same effect but known by different players will stack. If you ever want to switch abilities, you can mentally contact Julie by PMing me to learn your known abilities, and swich them if desired.

Ok here:
1 for strength
1.5 for dexterity
1.5 for speed
2 for intelligence

Now lets move!!!

The 1.5 and 2s in the stats area are how many points your skill is increased by, not how much it costs. If you want to change it, go ahead, otherwise I'll add the points you mentioned before.

bowserfan enters the Foresa General Store.
bowserfan purchases a potion.
bowserfan exits the Foresa General Store.
bowserfan enters the Northern Woods.
You are in the beginning of the Northern Woods. A small creek surrounds the woods, causing only a narrow section of land going north to be walkable on. Fallen trees provide bridges to two small "islands" to the west and east. You can see a treasure chest on each island. Some kind of spirit form can be seen hovering around over each log, with one more hovering on the path ahead.
WARNING!: If a battle occurs, only the players in the area where the battle is will enter the fight.
Note: bowserfan can explore the woods while the others are still in the village.

pumpkinbob goes to the inn. Inside, there is a man standing behind a counter. A door to the east leads to the pub. Three doors to the north lead to the rooms, but all are locked. A man is sitting in a chair near a fireplace in the southeast corner of the room.

bowserfan walks across the tree to reach the western treasure chest. Suddenly, the sprit form materializes into 3 ghosts! The ghosts attack!

bowserfan goes north. You are now in a clearing, with one giant tree in the center. Exits are east and south.

Max checks the Coronet Walls. The walls of Alathagia's capital still stand as tall and strong as ever. You can see the towers of Coronet Castle above the walls. Further up the river, you can see a bridge almost competed.

Looking closer at the giant tree, bowserfan can see runes carved into the trunk. He is, however, unable to deciper them. Near the runes, you can see a symbol that looks like the sun.

The east exit is currently impassable until the bridge is finished.

[sonicchaos1993]

"This ancient tree guards the entrance to our place of knowledge... If you have the power, move the tree... And gain entrance..."

[bowserfan]

Go back to the tree and go east.

[sonicchaos1993]

You are on a narrow path leading eastward, standing on the trunk of a large tree. You can see a large hive on a tree in the center of this area. Near the hive, a large wasp creature hovers in the air. You can go west to return to the Great Tree, or go east past the wasp.

YOU HAVE REACHED THE BOSS AREA!

The party has been restored to complete health. All party members recieved 50 EXP, and 75GP. The eastern exit of the Northern Woods is now open!

As bowserfan inspects the carnage of the battle, a glowing object catches his eye. The stinger of the wasp is glowing with a firey-orange-red color. Suddenly, a beam of energy leaves the stinger, and hits bowserfan in the chest! When it ends, bowserfan feels a new power within him. BOWSERFAN LEARNED BURNING AXE, SHARPEN, AND STING STRIKE!

pumpkinbob approches the dead wasp and begins to retreive his arrows, when he notices a treasure chest near the wasp hive. He opens it and finds a glowing swirl of energy.

B4 that, I'm gonna do something that I saw was earlier ignored. First, go 2 Julie's house, & give me it's current description plz.

PS. B4 I use my stat points, what are my current stats?

[sonicchaos1993]

(Items in gray have already been checked out)
This is the house of Julie, Swift (Kerma)'s grandmother and the person who sealed away the Dark Lord 50 years ago. Julie is standing near the center of the room. Two doors are near the back of the house, to the northwest and northeast. A book lies on a table on the west side of the room. You can return to Foresa using the door behind you, too the south.

Gameboy, your stats are:
Max HP: 780
Max SP: 750
STR: 19
DEX: 14
SPD: 21
INT: 18

I think U can C where I'm getting @ here, I'll take the NW door.

PS. 1 more thing B4 I use my stat points, what does Dexterity mean again?

[Max]

Hmmm, I pick......fire.
And about the stats...randomly distribute them..please

EDIT: Sonicchaos, you could probably make this a little more interesting by adding some puzzles to solve along the way and also some tactical battles, that do not rely completely on brute force

[pumpkinbob]

Two points on DEX and three on INT.

[bowserfan]

Ok, go east now.

[Max]

Oh yeah! I nearly forgot about exploring, go anywhere where anything is:)
It's just vague enough to work

[sonicchaos1993]

I think U can C where I'm getting @ here, I'll take the NW door.

PS. 1 more thing B4 I use my stat points, what does Dexterity mean again?
Dexterity is used for ranged attacks, and also slightly decreases damage taken.

Max, there was a couple puzzles in the Forest area, you just missed them, or ignored them.

Max tries to go everywhere where something is. Unfortunately, that would mean visting everything, and he has no clue where to start.

bowserfan goes east. He is now in Feilrod, a small Farming village. To the north, you can see a cave entrance. There is a house just north of your position. A shop lies in the eastern area of the village. More buildings can be seen to the south, past a couple cornfields. Four pots lie near the center of the town. To the northeast, you can see three trees and a somewhat large hole. To the west lies the northern woods.

gameboy enters the NW door. You are now in a large maze-like room with several blocks. You can see a door in the south east area of the maze. The maze appears as follows:
_&|= Wall
X=Block (pushable)
G=gameboy
D=Door
/&\=Switch-controlled barrier
--=Empty Space

Post your solution in directions, like:
Left, Left, Up, Down, Right, Right. 2 hyphens = 1 space. Blocks can be pushed. If you want to reset the puzzle, post Reset. To quit the puzzle, post Quit Puzzle. If you quit a puzzle, anybody can then attempt it. Note to all other players: Gameboy is currently doing this puzzle. Nobody else can do the puzzle unless he posts Quit Puzzle.
Note to Gameboy: The switches are hidden, and can only be activated by pushing a block onto them.

Stats and skills will be updated once everybody has posted their point choices. Gameboy still has 5. Everybody else has used theirs.

NOTE TO ALL: There is a puzzle that was missed in the Northern Woods, if you want to find it. Actually, it wasn't missed, but you pretty much ignored it.

[bowserfan]

Go to the cave at the north!

[gameboy]

L, l, u, r, r, u, l, l, u, r, r, r, u, l, l, l, u, r, r, l, l, l, u, r, r, r, r, r, d, r, r, r, r, r, l, l, l, l, l, d, r, d, l, l, l, l, l, l, r, r, r, r, r, r, d, r, r, r, r, u, l.

Upon pressing the third switch with the block, you hear a click. You can see the third barrier rotate, then stop. An area of the ground (S) raises. Looks like the third barrier is controlled by 2 switches!

bowserfan approches the north cave. A magical barrier blocks his progress. There might be a couple things for you to do here before you move on.

Max returns to the Great Tree. The runes are still glowing and readable.

[gameboy]

U missed something! oh well, I'll just do it again:
r, d, l, l, l, u, l, l, l, l, l.

[Max]

Bah! Go where Bowserfan is, I'll see what I can do

[sonicchaos1993]

Bah! Go where Bowserfan is, I'll see what I can do
Still ignoring the puzzle? I'll translate the runes again for anybody who wants to take a crack at it:
Great Tree puzzle (untaken)
"This ancient tree guards the entrance to our place of knowledge... If you have the power, move the tree... And gain entrance..."
It is possable to solve currently.

I didn't miss anything. I even gave you the switch's location! Since otherwise you would have to restart the puzzle, I've teleported the block you just moved back to where it was before.

Max goes to bowserfan's location. The magic barrier remains no matter what he does. Don't you want to explore before you move on?

The barrier you are trying to get past is there because I currently don't have the stats for the monsters you will encounter there ready yet. The barrier will disappear once the stats are ready. In the meantime, I suggest you explore before you move on to the next dungeon!

I'll get a map of the new area up soon.

[sonicchaos1993]

Gameboy, you still have 5 stat points to spend! In the meantime, I'll post descriptions of your new attacks:

Gameboy:
Mana Fist: An attack that deals both physical and magical damage. It is also a rather fast attack, and can be used during Turn 0. If used during Turn 0, it does half damage. Costs 120 SP.

Max:
Bright Flame: In battle, this attack does fire damage as well as causing the effect Glare. Costs 90 SP. Can be used in dark caves to increase visability.
Effect-Glare: While active, the accuracy of all foes will be slightly reduced for 4-6 turns.

Bowserfan:
Burning Axe: This attack does fire damage, and can target two different foes or do 2 attacks on one foe. Costs 110 SP.
Sharpen: Boosts STR for 6 turns. Costs 50 SP.
Sting Strike: A very fast attack that hits first. Can be used on Turn 0 for half damage. Costs 120 SP.

pumpkinbob:
Fire Arrow: Deals fire damage. Costs 75 SP.
Ice Arrow: Deals ice damage. Costs 75 SP.
Thunder Arrow: Deals thunder damage. Costs 75 SP.
Multi Arrow (2): Does two attacks at once. Can be used on two different targets or both attacks on one. Costs 110 SP.

[gameboy]

Oh yeah!
1 HP
1 MP
2 DEX
1 INT

Also, I didn't know that |S| meant switch!
R, R, R, R, R, L, U, L, L, L, U, L, U, R, R, R, R, R, D, D, R, D, D.

[Max]

Hmmm, go back to the tree (I thought it was the one with the sun symbol on it and I had already been there so I ignored it). Let's see, chop down the tree and gain entrance?
Can I use bright flame here?
Fire, if the previous things don't work....
This is hard, or I'm stupid

[sonicchaos1993]

Great Tree puzzle (taken by Max)
You are unable to chop down the tree. You use Bright Flame, and the light reveals a circle shaped crack in the trunk. A slot in the center of this circle is also revealed.

The switch activates, and the third barrier swings open!

Updated stats coming soon.

[bowserfan]

Ok... Go back and jump in the hole.

[gameboy]

Sweet! now out the west door & in the east, then:
L, L, L, L, U, R, R, R, R, R, R, U, L, L, U, R, R, U, L, U, L, U, L, L, L, R, R, U, then left till I can't go left no more, & go through the door.

[Max]

Let's see, can I enter the tree throw that slot?

[sonicchaos1993]

Block Maze Puzzle: (Gameboy)
Gameboy enters the back room. He is now in a small room. Behind him lies the door he came through. In the north of the room is a large red treasure chest.

Great Tree Puzzle: (Max)
The slot is nowhere near large enough for you to enter through! On closer inspection, however, you see a light shining through the slot. In terms of size, the slot is just large enough to fit a sword in.

Feilrod North: (bowserfan, pumpkinbob)
Bowserfan enters the hole. He is now in a large cavern. A rope ladder leads to the surface. In the Northwest of the cavern, part of the wall has a bright red color. A small hole lies south of the red wall. On closer inspection, it reveals that there is a small tunnel that leads from the red wall to the western wall. This tunnel is not large enough for you to fit through. In the southeast of the chamber, a large blue bulbous plant lies. The plant has a spherical shape, and seems voatile.

Stats:

[bowserfan]

Hmmm, let's see...attack the bright red part of that wall!

[gameboy]

Yay! open the red treasure chest!

[Max]

Absorb the light... I guess, or if I have a sword, fit the sword through it :)

[sonicchaos1993]

Block Maze Puzzle (Gameboy):
Gameboy searches the treasure chest, and finds a glowing pink-purple stone.
GAMEBOY FOUND A MANA STONE!
Gameboy gets to pick one stat from which to learn more knowledge of, which will grant him a move that utilizes that knowledge.

Stats:
HP: Weak Strike (110)- If you choose to study Health/HP, you can utilize this knowledge to strike your opponent when they are weakest, causing this move to deal more damage the less HP the opponent has.

SP: Mana Absorb (Passive)- If you choose to study Magic/SP, you can utilize this knowledge to absorb some SP from each magic attack you are hit by.

STR: Shattering Strike (125)- If you choose to study power, you can use this knowledge to perform a shattering blow of power that deals a lot of damage and lowers the targets DEF. Such power comes at a cost- The massive windup requires time, so therefore this move always hits last.

DEX: Sword-Chucks (100)- By studying Dexterity, you can learn how to use your sword in a ranged manner, and no, not by attaching two swords to a chain and swinging them like nunchucks. By using the magic in the Mana Blade, you can throw the sword at a target and have it return to you. Ranged attacks do extra damage against flying targets, and ignore some of the foe's defence.

SPD: Swift Strike (Passive)- By studying speed, you can get in an attack during Turn 0 of every battle, but at the cost of half damage.

INT: Willpower (Passive)- By studying intellegence, you can learn how to use your willpower to help defend yourself from mental assults. Makes you immune to confusion, and slightly lowers the damage from magic attacks.

Great Tree Puzzle (Max)
Max inserts the light blade into the slot. The ground begins to shake violently, and the tree moves to the west a little bit to reveal a stair case leading into the earth.

Feilrod Cavern (bowserfan)
Bowserfan attempts to attack the red wall, but nothing happens. Seems like this wall is too tough to break by physical attacks. You notice some slight cracks in the wall. Maybe an explosion could break it...

[gameboy]

I think I'll go with DEX, & then if the puzzles over, go to where bowserfan is.

[Max]

Well go down the stairs

[bowserfan]

Uhhh... go to the plant.

[sonicchaos1993]

Block Puzzle (gameboy)
Gameboy learned Sword-Chucks! He leaves the house and travels to Feilrod Cavern.

Great Tree Puzzle (Max)
Max goes down the stairs. He is now in the archives of the School of Magic. There are bookshelves everywhere. In the center of the room, near the stairs, there is a glowing ring of light on the floor.

Feilrod Cavern (bowserfan, gameboy)
Bowserfan walks to the plant. Looking closer, you see that the plant is attached to the roots by a fuse-like vine. The plant is small enough to be carried.

[gameboy]

Ooh! Put the plant in the small hole!

[sonicchaos1993]

You try to put the plant in the hole, but the hole is way too small. It looks like the only thing you'll be able to do with the hole is look through it.

[gameboy]

okay then, look through the hole.

[sonicchaos1993]

You look through the hole again. The tunnel still leads to the red wall.

[gameboy]

I got it! the plant's a bomb! Throw it at the red wall! (Just for the record, if I didn't figure it out, I would've just thrown the plant at the wall anyway:mrgreen:)

[Max]

Glowing ring, glowing ring! Touch it! or take it

[sonicchaos1993]

Fielrod Cavern (bowserfan, gameboy)
Congrats, gameboy, you figured it out. Go have a cookie.
Gameboy picks up the plant, and the fuse lights! He throws it at the wall, and the wall shatters with a deafening explosion. Lava pours out of the wall into the small tunnel, opening the path ahead to the north.

Great Tree Puzzle (Max)
Max begins to step towards the ring, but is suddenly stopped and knocked to the ground by a sudden shake of the ground, as if there was an explosion some distance away. Max gets up and walks into the glowing ring of light. He suddenly feels lightheaded, and then the room disappears as he is teleported into a small room with a large pedestal in the center.

[bowserfan]

Ahem. Go to the north.

[sonicchaos1993]

bowserfan enters the northern tunnel. The tunnel splits into four paths here- West, NW, NE, and East. The western tunnel has a large vine blocking the way. The NW tunnel has a chasm with a glowing crystal on the other side. The NE tunnel has a large vine and a chasm. The East tunnel has a small rectangular slot on the ground, and a magical barrier blocking the path ahead.

[bowserfan]

Attack the vine at the west!

[Max]

Look at the pedestal, I hope I'm not too far away from home, I'm getting hungry:p

[sonicchaos1993]

bowserfan cuts down the vine blocking the western tunnel. Looking further down the tunnel, he sees a slab of rock and a raised section of rock on the ground.

Tunnel Map:
http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4034/aomrpgmap6.png (http://img19.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aomrpgmap6.png)

[Max]

What bout me?

[bowserfan]

Aha! Push the raised section of rock like a switch!

[sonicchaos1993]

Oh, I missed that! Sorry.

Max walks up to the pedistal, and find a glowing orb there. He picks up the orb.
MAX HAS FOUND A MANA ORB!

Max can chose one element to study and learn a skill about.

Elements:
Fire: Fire Blade (60)- This move will set your sword on fire for 5 turns, boosting it's attack power and dealing fire damage.

Ice: Slow (50)- Sometimes in battle, you wonder how much easier things would be if you could slow down time. You still can't slow down time, but you can use this move to deep-freeze the battlefield, which decreases the speed of all foes for 5 turns.

Water: Mist (50)- This move lets you shroud yourself in a cloud of mist, boosting your evasion.

Wind: Enourmus Gust (60)- This move creates a gust of wind that batters one foe for one turn, preventing them from performing an action for that turn.

Thunder: Thunderrod (70)- This attack makes one foe take damage from all magic attacks used in battle for three turns.

Earth: Quake Punch (50)- The user punches the ground, causing a tremor that knocks enemies off their feet, stunning them for that turn.

Cavern:
bowserfan steps on the switch. The rocks blocking the four tunnels each raise a bit.

[Max]

I take thunder, it appeals to me most

[sonicchaos1993]

Max learned Thunderrod!

[Max]

Go where Gameboy is

[gameboy]

Pick up the slab of rock & put it in the western slot. If that doesn't work, stick a sword in it.

[sonicchaos1993]

What slab of rock?

Gameboy puts his sword into the slot. Nothing happens. It seems as if the slot only reacts to certain kinds of energy...

Max enters the tunnels.

[gameboy]

What slab of rock?

bowserfan cuts down the vine blocking the western tunnel. Looking further down the tunnel, he sees a slab of rock and a raised section of rock on the ground.
that slab of rock. Anyway, are any of us able to jump across the chasm in any way?

[sonicchaos1993]

The slab of rock is boulder size, I didn't realize that I left that part out of the description! Sorry!

The chasms are too wide to jump over. It is possable to cross them with the skills you have.

[Max]

I'll stick mah sword in the slot!

[gameboy]

Oh, well I use whatever skills those are to jump across the NW chasm. (also grab the glowing crystal if it worked)

Also, I think you forgot this post:
Aha! Push the raised section of rock like a switch!

[sonicchaos1993]

Oh, well I use whatever skills those are to jump across the NW chasm. (also grab the glowing crystal if it worked)

Also, I think you forgot this post:
I didn't forget anything:
Cavern:
bowserfan steps on the switch. The rocks blocking the four tunnels each raise a bit.

Gameboy tries using his skills to cross the NW chasm. None seem to work. Also, the crystal is on the ceiling, it is impossilble to grab.

Max inserts the Light Blade into the slot. The slot reacts to the sword's light energy, and the magic barrier lowers! Max looks further into the tunnel and sees a switch and another slab of rock that has been lowered slightly.

Pumpkinbob is needed to help solve the puzzle, so if he doesn't post within 48 hours, he will be replaced.

[gameboy]

Ooh! I know what to do! but first we need someone to join replacements so we can replace pumpkinbob.

[Max]

I have no idea what to do so I'll let gameboy do all the work :)

[sonicchaos1993]

Gameboy, there is actually one tunnel you can get through. Also, I will take control of pumpkinbob if he doesn't post and if nobody wants to be a replacement.

[sonicchaos1993]

Meh. It's not fair to you guys to have to wait for PB.

Suddenly, pumpkinbob begins to feel lightheaded. He is suddenly teleported to the tunnels by SonicChaos! SonicChaos then takes control of pumpkinbob and shoots an arrow at the diamond, activating the bridge. SonicChaos then gave control of pumpkinbob back to himself again, and zapped him with lightning for lurking.
PUMPKINBOB TOOK 300 DAMAGE!

pumpkinbob will still be replaced in 24 hours if he doesn't post.

[gameboy]

think you should update the map? and what about the chasm with the vine? is there something I can do to get across that one? (how bout I use my new sword chucks ability to pull the vine over here and use it as a bridge?!)

[Max]

Go across the bridge, I'll see to it that this puzzle is finished before doomsday:D

[sonicchaos1993]

Current Locations:
I wasn't planning to update the map until the next room, but meh.
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4864/aomrpgmap7.png

Gameboy, you were so close that I gave it to you. What you had to do was use Sword-Chucks to cut down the vine, causing it to drop and make a bridge across the chasm.

Max, you are currently on a switch! If you step off of it, the rocks will raise again!

Gameboy uses Sword Chucks!
Vine takes 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000001 damage!
Vine has been defeated!

The vine falls and creates a bridge across the chasm! Looking ahead, gameboy sees the final switch and another slab of rock.

Suddenly, pumpkinbob morphs into SonicChaos, the elemental mage!

SonicChaos moves onto the switch! The slabs of rock lower a little more! Only one switch remains!

[sonicchaos1993]

What do you think? Personally, I think that it will help keep my posts short, and also help with sorting information.

[gameboy]

Yay! Step on final switch!

[sonicchaos1993]

Gameboy steps on the switch, and the rock slabs lower completely! The path ahead is now open!

SonicChaos goes north. He is now in a large chamber. Unfortunatly, a large sheet of ice blocks access to the north. A tunnel to the west can be reached, however. SonicChaos attempts to melt the ice using Minor Flame. However, the fire is not hot enough to melt the ice.

[gameboy]

take the west tunnel, and map update?

[Max]

Can I go forward now?

[sonicchaos1993]

Max enters the northern chamber. Gameboy enters the northern chamber, and goes west. He is now in a large room. In the center, there are four glowing lights- one blue, one red, one green, and one gold/yellow. The only exit is to the east, where you came in.

[gameboy]

Touch the blue light.

[Max]

me touches the golden/yellow light

[sonicchaos1993]

Gameboy touches the blue light. Some kind of interdimensonal phase/teleportation activity happens and a glowing obelisk begins to teleport into the center of the cave. It is about 75% transparent.

Max touches the gold light. More interdimensional phase/teleportation activity happens and the obelisk teleports more. It is now 50% transparent.

[sonicchaos1993]

I'm trying to avoid too much unnessicary waiting.

SonicChaos pushes bowserfan into the red light! The obelisk becomes about 25% transparent.

SonicChaos touches the green light! The obelisk becomes completey opaque! The lights fade away as the obelisk gains physical form.

[gameboy]

Command Obelisk to break the ice! (this is starting to get kinda easy)

EDIT: Wrong Obelisk!:p I was thinking of the yugioh card!:p IDK what to do.:p

[Max]

Sit and wait while gameboy does all the puzzle solving

[pumpkinbob]

Ouch... That hurt.

Sorry, I haven't been on for the past few days.

[Max]

Obelisk the tormentor?
Anyways, go look at the obelisk I guess, can I go into it?

[gameboy]

I don't even know what an obelisk is, the only reason I know that there is another kind, is because of a game that I recently played right after last post.:p (please tell me)

[sonicchaos1993]

An obelisk is a tall, thin, four-sided, tapering monument which ends in a pyramidal top.


Max touches the obelisk, and a glowing light surrounds all four heroes.

The heroes have gained the Tag ability!

By using the tag ability, two characters can use two similar skills to ahieve an effect that could not be accomplished by using only one skill. This skill can also be used in battle to deal more damage and have possibly other effects. For example, having one character use Ice and another use Minor Frost via the Tag ability would result in an enemy taking a lot more damage and have a slight chance of being frozen for a turn.

[Max]

Awesome! Where to next? Oh yeah try and melt the ice

[gameboy]

Awesome! Where to next? Oh yeah try and melt the ice using the tag ability
Ya, uh... that's what he meant!:p

[Max]

Thanx:D

[sonicchaos1993]

When you use the tag ability, you need to specify which two skills are being used for the tag.

Since I've been forgetting to post this for a while, I might as well now:

Sword-Chucks: Ranged
Mana Fist: Magic/Physical, Mana

Max:
Light Blast: Magic, Light

Bowserfan:

Pumpkinbob:
Bird Killer: Ranged, Anti-Winged
Multi Arrow (2): Ranged, Multi-Hit
Fire Arrow: Ranged/Magic, Fire
Ice Arrow: Ranged/Magic, Ice
Thunder Arrow: Ranged/Magic, Thunder

[gameboy]

Max: fire
Bowserfan: Burning strike
Let's see if that works.

[sonicchaos1993]

You attempt tag using Fire and Burning Strike, but the ice doesn't melt. Looks like more heat is needed!

[gameboy]

How about all that with Pumpkinbob's fire arrow! (Can you do more than two?)

[sonicchaos1993]

How about all that with Pumpkinbob's fire arrow! (Can you do more than two?)
Yes, you can do one skill per character!

By using tag with Fire, Burning Strike, and Fire Arrow, the heroes are able to melt the ice, opening the path to the north.

[gameboy]

Finally! Go north!

[sonicchaos1993]

Sorry about the wait, had finals to take. But finals are all over now, and school is out, so I should have much more time... Except for summer basketball leauge, band lessons, AP History summer work, vacations, Honors English summer reading...

The heroes travel north. Gameboy is the first to enter the new room and stops almost instantly, realizing that he is on the edge of a chasm! Max is second and bumps into gameboy, almost sending him over the edge. bowserfan and pumpkinbob are barely able to enter the room, as the ledge that the heroes are on is extremely small. The room is nearly pitch-black, and the chasm doesn't appear to end.

BOWSERFAN WILL BE REPLACED IF HE DOESN'T RESPOND WITHIN 24 HOURS!

[gameboy]

Max uses bright flame!

[sonicchaos1993]

Max uses bright flame!
Last I checked, your name isn't Max. :p

[gameboy]

Fine then! I'll wait..... I'm bored... HURRY UP MAX!!! (jk)

[sonicchaos1993]

Bowserfan has been replaced by SonicChaos! If anybody would like to replace him, please post now.

[Max]

Sorry for me disappearing, so I better hurry up
BRIGHT FLAME

[sonicchaos1993]

Max uses Bright Flame!

A glowing light explodes through the cavern. The chasm remains pitch black, but a ledge on the other side can be seen. It is about ten feet below your current position. A tunnel entrance is located near the ledge. There is also a pillar with one large rune on the other side.

[Max]

See if I can read the rune, if not then jump down to the other ledge below.

[sonicchaos1993]

Sorry about the long wait, I've been in South Dakota for the last week.

Max looks at the rune, but is unable to translate it. It appears to be in the image of someone praying.

Max starts to jump off to the ledge, but stops. There is no way you're going to make that jump!

[Max]

Start praying like that person....? I don't know what to do! GB your up!

[gameboy]

IDK either... use sword chucks on the pillar. If that doesn't work, ask pumpkinbob to use each of his ranged attacks on the pillar untill something happens.

[sonicchaos1993]

Sorry about the long wait, I was out of town for the weekend.

Gameboy uses Sword-Chucks on the pillar, but nothing happens.

Pumpkinbob knocks an arrow and fires it. Suddenly, something stops it! A ghost was hit by the arrow and defeated! Two more ghosts materialize.
