Title: First Time!
Post by World on 02/11/04 at 20:51:16

This is the first time i've made a map so please don't flame me to much, i don't mind if you tell me what i've done wrong but not like 'that idea is just crap'.

Library info for Helm Of Ever Lasting Beauty;

This Helm is the item recieved for doing this certain quest.

Descriptions
Normal Square

As you enter the room blood stains cover the walls from many who have fought there way into the depths of the cave. The walls are cracked and many tunnels are leading of in diffrent directions. The cave continues north, south, east, west,

2nd Floor

As you start to get closer to the top of the cave you start to notice bodies hung by there legs attached to the top of the ceiling, blood drips from them staining the armor you are wearing, as you look down at the floor a trail of thick blood leads to the west. You may continue further into the depths of the cavern to the north and south or follow the thick blood to the west.

3rd Floor(boss room)

As you finish climbing the ladder you look around and see various corpses lying on the floor, many are still attached to the ceilings of the cave and as you search for the blood stain it stops, you look up and are assaulted by a viscious beast(this will damage around 40 points of damage because its a trap). You may flee back down or continue to fight the Elder Beast.

Monsters

Elder Beast

The Elder Beast is a fearsome foe with, blood drips from its mouth as it looks you up and down looking were to strike next, it follows your every movement and when the time is right darts in for the kill. The Elder Beast is mortally wounded.

It drops the helm i described earlier up the page and around 10,000 gold.

Location:3rd floor of the cave

Shaded Beast
HP:2000

You look over the shaded beast only to see a bear type creature, you can't quite make it out as it is hiding in the shadows.

drops around 400 gold

Location:1st floor

StoryLine: The cave was once inhabited by the elves that once lived in the hills. They found this cave and lived there for a long time. There leader Coran stumbled across a secret passage way in the throne room, it was a walkway with a pair of ladders at the end, as he gained curoius of what was up there he started to journey up the ladders. From there on not much more of the story is known, the cave within weeks was overrun by beasts that could sense the evil beings inside the place, they searched for the passageway but still haven't found it.

Requirements:for levels 25+ (optional) based on a party of 4-5.

Library info for Enchanted Elvish Armor:
Armor base: 20, Can be worn by: fighters, thieves, rangers, clerics, druids, mages, paladins, pacifists Description: The armor recieved from slaying the Master Elf has ancient elvish writing from around 3000 years ago wrote down both sides of the armor, the armor is a bit heavy to hold at first but seems to give the wearer the occaisonal twitch in the hands., Level needed to equip it: 25, Strength modifier: 2, Intelligence modifier: -1, Dexterity modifier: -2, Constitution modifier: 1, Wisdom modifier: -1, Charisma modifier: 2.

The armor might need to be tweaked a bit to make it better/worse because of the hardness of the boss

I read the first 25% of your 'project' to come to the conclusion that if you are actually serious about this area then you should focus more on your grammar. Btw I don't think the suggested boss drop would be used quite often at -1 dex.

no offense stotic, but coming from you, your grammar can be somewhat 'off-centre' at times... i think maybe you should be a mod and not a flamer... hes obviously spent sometime typing that out, only for you to read 25% of it and say he needs to correct his english.. read the thread "First Time!"

Stotic's grammar is just fine, when it needs to be. The point he was making was that when presenting your idea to the community as a whole, it should have little to no errors in it for the best results, and to actually get read.

Insane stat mods on that armour there son ;D I think the -2 dex would make it pretty un-usable...but seems like you've actually put some thought into this :)

Sounds a bit.. Not right to me. Sorry.. Why not just Elder Cave? Or, The Elder Cave? Something that rolls when you say it is good.

Find me one post by myself with "off-center" grammar. I did read the thread title. Unfortunately for you it's his first time designing an area, not typing in English.

Some of us tend to forget that English is not the only language, and also like to assume that because someone can type english, that english was their first language, and were born in an english speaking country. Some times as bad as the "grammar" or whatever may seem, cut them some slack.

Oh, and by the way the area looks interesting to say the least.

I am unsure what any of that has to do with anything here. Whether English is their first language or not holds no significance. And don't sprout on my argument. Keep on topic.
