Dammit! Also the bandages, was going to use them to make a torch, then was thinking of using them to tie someone up if we happened upon another. Guess we'll just have to use them if we get hurt.

 

If you think about it hard enough, you can figure it out! I have faith in you.

I mean. Think about it. I've tried to make it very clear that it's a futuristic setting.

 

Ooooh that's a neat idea actually! Particularly with that creeping dude idea

 

Time capsule? The Caretakers secret black box?

 

Also, I'm hoping to have each scenario focus on one character!

 

I suppose Ill have to do some serious thinking then =-=

 

I've been thinking on things last night and I think I came to a decision about how to move on from here. From my estimate, we might be at the middle point of this scenario. I didn't anticipate it to be this long! Whew!

Things that are going to be added from today onward:

• Main Quest.
• Side Quest
• Collection Quest
• I've decided to reveal the map of all known areas once the player gains access to the security room.

I'm hoping that this will make it easier for players to stay on track & get into the habit of searching for items and such.

 

Today, Umbles became canon - and The Character spoke for the first time in a GM written response!

Whatever will happen next?!

 

Haha, not sure. Enjoying the game a lot though.

 

I am done for tonight. I think this is a good place to stop it for today.

Tomorrow, small puzzle, followed by the end of the scenario.

 

So. Uhm. Yeah. This scenario is officially finished.

I plan to run the second scenario - yes it will be a continuation of this story - around the 14th. I want to start these on a fortnightly basis. And it will give me time in between to plan the next scenario.

When I wake up tomorrow morning, I will tally all contributions and announce the overall Keno reward.

Please let me know your thoughts on the scenario. Did you enjoy it? Is the story interesting enough for you to keep playing? Are there any improvements that you would like to see? How was the Book Puzzle?

 

Book puzzle was irritating but neat. Story's nice, hopefully we get more with Umbles cause she's cool. Glad the Creeping Darkness turned out to be not a problem, always had the urge to pet them whenever they were mentioned... Just thought better of it.

 

I had hoped that it was easy enough to figure out if someone just wiki'd info on Shakesphere. I also got the inspiration for it from Silent Hill 3! I'll keep it in mind for next time though.

The Creeping Darkness is actually a pretty chill guy. The only reason he kills you when you don't have a flashlight is the same reason as the Tantarion, really. He saw you as human. When your judgement is lapsed by the fresh meat - he's actually watching you and Umbra feed. Then he's just like "Eh, whatever - I'll leave these guys alone!"

Later on - there will be actual threats! I also hope to create a few traps.

 

Will we get to stabberfy someone? Or drop them into a moat with laser sharks?

 

There may be some killing involved later on.

All I can really say at this point is... hmmm. This scenario focused a lot on a certain someone, but next scenario we'll be putting some more focus on Umbra.
