An area I've been making, I've been working on it forever and decided it's time I put it up.
Story Line:
Long ago, in the small quant village of Daharka, the first Succubi/Human child Desdemona was born to her Succubi mother and human father (the only male who ever was able to resit the succubi charms). Desdemona grew learning to use her abilities as a fighter, and her natural demoniod abilities she flurished. At the age of 19 she fell in love with one Daegus Deligato who she was to be wed too.
On the eve of their wedding, Desdemona found both her parents slaughtered, swearing revenge she put the wedding on hold to track down whoever had done this.
The trail soon went cold, and she returned to her villiage to seek comfort from her fiancee, only to find out that he himself had killed them in a fit of rage.
Desdemona fought Daegus, delivering a death blow to him, just as he told her that he would have brought them back, for her, to only have her love once again. Stuck with the knowledge that she had killed the only person able to revive her parents has slowly deteriated Desdemona's sanity, causing her to slowly go insane.
The people of Darhaka, shocked at the outcome of the recent turn of events, drove Desdemona from the villiage forcing her to live in the wild, like the animal she had become. Yet, on the day Daegus was to be buried, the body could not be found...
------------------------------------------------------------
Description Examples: (grid numbers and stuff used from Halor's example)
/grid 55: Darhaka Forest /grid 78: Forest Clearing
(Angel pages you from Darhaka Forest (Forest Clearing): Blah)
/grid 1: You are standing in a clear spot of forest, you have
an odd feeling that something isn't right. After a few moments silence, you realize what it is. No birds sing - an eerie dead silence. You can go 'North' into the Cave ahead.
/grid 2: The forest clearing looks as if someone has purposly removed all trees and wildlife from this area, inorder to scare unwanted visitors away. The Cave entrance is hidden behind hanging vines. A smoldering firepit shows that someone had been there recently, their belongings scattered around. It looks like some sort of battle took place.
/examine: You notice marks on the ground, they lead towards the cave... You cry out in shock when you realize they look like drag marks.
----------------------------------------
Description Examples:
/grid 65: Forgotten Cave /grid 77: Daegus's Tomb
(Angel pages you from Forgotten Cave (Daegus's Tomb) : Blah)
/grid 1: You stumble into the room, your eyes adjusting to the darkness. Looking around you realize right infront of you is a tomb.
/grid 2: Edging your way closer to the tomb you slowly trace your fingers along the inscription on the top. You can faintly make out the name Daegus. So this is where he was buried, you think to youself. Leaning against the tomb, you feel the lid shift. Cautiously peering into the depths of the tomb, you realize it has no bottom... but a ladder leading down into the unknown.

Don't post the map... If you do, the area will have to be changed in the end.
Anyway, not a bad start.. I would suggest having the grid ones "You have entered what looks to be blah blah" and the grid twos like "As you look around you see blah blah"..
Monsters look ok, but the boss?? lol, 750k hp.. thats the most hp for a monster in the game.. And with it attacking 150-200 that would be crazy. The exp is a bit high at 120.. 100 would be a bit better.. I would edit the boss. Also.. the prize, remove zerkers able to use it.. Zerkers are not supposed to get ANY armor or stat mod items at all!

Well Desdemona is supposed to be insane, thus making her hard to kill. And she has some background bonuses. But I can fix what the drop item and her exp but... other then that... I think I"ll leave it as is.

About monsters, orcs are just too weak for lv 25-30 party, and for gargs, if you go there with 4-5 ppl, you would be able to kill one garg in 4-5 rounds.
Suggestion: second new monster (instead of orcs), remove no-go from square with garg (that's just annoying if it's a lot of squares), and possibly add 1-2 subbosses (this is for fun only)

I understand it is to be a very hard area. But I think, the lag monster does not even have that much hp, nor does he attack for that much either.. I could see that monster being the monster that drops devistate..
Anyway, like i said.. Looks good so far. If you want to work with staff on this memo one of them or pm them on the forum. If none of them are willing to help, AIM me and I will help you. The final area (in offline map developer) will just be sent to JLH with the monsters that need to be added also.

I like the story- I'd like you to write (if you haven't already) the rest of it, how the player finishes the area. The descriptions are okay, could use a bit of work. As for the boss I agree with matt, the hp is too much. For such a hard boss anyway. If you don't want to really change the hp then i suggest making it hit a bit weaker, and changing the level requirement for the area entirely.
If you would like to speak to me about this a bit more you can contact me ingame on my staff crit or add me to your MSN. I'll give you my MSN mail in a personal message on the forum.
