Treasure Quest Final Draft

Your party are out on an exploration to uncover the lost treasure of the abyss. As you arrive at the entrance, you notice 3 caves that seem to lead into different areas. Your party spreads out to check out the features of each entrance.. [[Bulky Paladin<- Talk to the Bulky Paladin]] [[Frail Cleric<- Talk to the Frail Cleric]] [[Shifty Mage<- Talk to the Shifty Mage]]

As you approach the bulky paladin, he turns around and gives a warm smile. "Ah, so you are intruiged with this cave too." Turning your head back to the cave entrance, you notice some faint glowing lights that lead deeper into the cave. Despite this, you can't exactly make out the source of the light. "If I may suggest, we should take this path. The light will make it easier to detect and fight off any danger." The paladin said. What would you like to do? [[Start<- You need more time to think]] [[Waterfall Cave<- Listen to the Paladin and Choose the cave on the left.]]

You approach the frail looking cleric. As he turns around, a large gust of wind rushes out of the cave, almost knocking you and the cleric over. Thinking quick, you grab onto the cleric and prevent the both of you from toppling over. "T-thank you..." The cleric mumbles. "I-I was just checking out this cave..and I feel like this area would be the fastest path...I don't know, I just have a feeling.." What would you like to do? [[Start<- You need more time to think]] [[Cliff<- Proceed, following the Cleric's suggestion]] (set: $counter to '0') (set: $fail_check to 'no')

As you approach the shifty mage, you make out a quick but ominous smile from the side of your eye. Turning around, his expression quickly fades to a blank stare. "...." The mage doesn't say anything. Instead, he points towards the entrace of a cave... The cave entrance seems old, with lots of moss growing out from it. Despite this, the cave appears very ordinary. What would you like to do? [[Take the mage's suggestion, and go down this path|Collapsing Cave]] [[Start<- You need more time to think]]

You listen to the Paladin's advice, and decide on the cave on the furthest left. As you keep walking, you eventually stumble into a cave with a waterfall. Investigate the area [[Water surface<- Check the flowing river]] [[Shining Rock<- Check the glowing rocks in the cave]] [[Waterfall<- Check the waterfall]]

Your party decides to go through the cave at the cleric's suggestion... After trudging along and nearly tripping a few times, you feel a cold breeze of air pass by. The mage conjures some fire with his hands, and you make out your suroundings... The faintly lit light reveals a huge cavern ahead, with a small and unstable looking bridge. If everyone decides to cross, the bridge will probably collapse. In this section, you have to choose the right order for your party to cross, or the bridge will break. (if: $fail_check is 'yes')[[[Oh no!|Failed]]] (if: $counter is '0')[[[Send Paladin|Send Paladin]] | [[Send Mage|Send Mage]] | [[Send Cleric|Send Priest]]] (if: $counter is '2')[[[Send Paladin|Send Paladin]] | [[Send Priest|Send Priest]]] (if: $counter is '3')[[[Send Priest|Send Priest]]] (if: $counter is '4')[[[You made it!|Crossed]]] (if: $counter is '5')[[[Send Paladin|Send Paladin]]]

You enter the cave with the suggestion of the mage. A bit unsure about what will happen, you proceed deeper... Suddenly, bats come flying from further in the cave, and you start to feel the ground rumbling...The cave is about to go under! Your party quickly runs forward, avoiding the rocks that are falling above. Going through a larger cave, you notice another 3 sets of entrances. Choose one of 3! [[Go to front cave|Collapsing Cave 3]] [[Go to left cave| Collapsing Cave 2]] [[Go to right cave| Collapsing Cave 4]]

The stones in the cave glow, creating a pale blue illumination in the cave. However, you aren't sure if it does anything yet... You decide to take one. (set: $rock to 'yes') [[Waterfall Cave<- Back]]

You notice the water flowing in an odd direction... It seems to be flowing backwards. [[Waterfall Cave<- Back]]

There is a hidden switch in the waterfall that opens a cave. A hidden cave opens...What could be inside? As you move through the cave, you encounter a monster! (set: $hp to '10') (set: $palahp to '10') (set: $magehp to '7') (set: $priesthp to '5') (set: $actionnum to '0') [[Begin Battle|Fight Start]]

You decide to take the treasure despite the possibility of it being a curse. Upon taking it, the mage begins glowing with a malicious aura... "...Hehehe....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.." "You fell for it...you knew...but you decided to do so anyway..." Fading, the mage casts a curse on the rest of the party. "You will regret this....my curse will haunt you forever..." END....To be continued...?

You decide to send the mage... "...." The mage doesn't say anything, but imbues himself with magic to make himself as light as a feather.. (if: $counter is '0')[(set: $counter to '2')(set: $fail_check to 'no')] (if: $counter is '1')[(set: $counter to '2')(set: $fail_check to 'no')] (if: $counter is '2')[[[The Mage Crosses|Cliff]]]

"O-okay....Wish me luck..." The priest has a small figure, but her magic protects her from most harm.. [[Proceed|Cliff]]

Everyone crossed. Yay! Congrats!! You quickly follow after the party after they all crossed, and the bridge doesn't break. Breathing a sigh of relief, your party takes a moment to rest on the other side of the cavern. After taking a moment, you and your party decide to journey further into the cave.. The place goes dark again, and you see an ominous glow.. Moving closer, you realize it's a monster! (set: $hp to '10') (set: $palahp to '10') (set: $magehp to '7') (set: $priesthp to '5') (set: $actionnum to '0') [[Begin Battle|Fight Start]]

The bridge fell, and you lose your party members.. BAD END. [[Restart|Start]]

(if: $counter is '0')[(set: $counter to '1')] (if: $counter is '1')[(set: $fail_check to 'yes')] (if: $counter is '2')[(set: $fail_check to 'no')(set: $counter to '3')] (if: $counter is '5')[(set: $fail_check to 'no')(set: $counter to '4')] You decide the paladin. "Alright...here goes nothing." The paladin chuckles. Despite his bulky figure, he is quite nimble and agile. The only thing holding him back would be the weight of his armor... [[Proceed|Cliff]]

"Hiyah!!" The paladin uses a shield bash! (set: $hp to '5') (set: $actionnum to '1') The enemy takes 5 damage. [[Proceed|Fight Start]]

"..." The mage shoots a fireball at the monster. (set: $hp to '5') The enemy takes 5 damage. (if: $actionnum is '0')[(set: $actionnum to '1')] [[Proceed|Fight Start]]

"H-here goes!" The cleric casts a holy ray of light at the monster. (set: $hp to '5') (if: $actionnum is '0')[(set: $actionnum to '1')] The enemy takes 5 damage.

"Toiyah!" The Paladin slashes his sword at the monster. Enemy takes 5 damage. [[Proceed|Victory]]

"...." The mage glares at the enemy angrily and casts an ice bolt. Enemy takes 5 dmg. [[Proceed|Victory]]

"May god bless you..." The cleric attacks a second time. [[Proceed|Victory]]

You notice that the rock you had can be used as some sort of blinding flash! Asking your party to get ready, you raise your arm, reading to throw.. "3......2......1......GO!" You yell and hurtle the glowing rock at the monster. Upon contact, the rock explodes and sends a blinding light at the enemy. [[Proceed|Escape Victory]]

The enemy let's out a shriek and drops dead. As the monster disentigrates, you find a few pieces of gold on the ground. [GOLD ACQUIRED!] Your party lets out a cheer and proceed deeper into the cave..eventually opening a passage into an old and dry chamber.. The mage perks up. "...." he smiles and points towards a yellow light emanating from the center of the chamber. The cleric scans the area and notices some text on the wall. "Only those pure of heart and ready to make the sacrifice shall take the treasure..." The cleric mumbles and goes pale a little. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" The Paladin laughs and pats the cleric on the shoulder. "It'll be fine. I'm sure we're all good people." Would you like to take the treasure? [[Yes|Treasure]] [[No| OtherEnd]]

The enemy gets blinded by the rock's light and you manage to escape! Nice! [[Proceed|Treasure]]

As you run, you reach a dead end! "Shiiii--" Everyone yells but it's too late... The cave collapses and your party is burried alive... Strangely enough, the mage wasn't with you.... DEAD END.. [[Restart|Start]]

You keep running, but as you go in deeper, you run into a magic circle! [[Proceed|Mage Betrayal]]

You and your party run through to another part of the cave! It's safer here. [[Continue|Rough Escape]]

The paladin and cleric let out a small sigh as you finally reach some safer ground. "That was a close one..." The cleric gasps. Taking a quick moment to breathe, your party decides to go in further... Suddenly, you see a faint red glow approaching you fast...It appears to be a monster!! (set: $hp to '10') (set: $palahp to '10') (set: $magehp to '7') (set: $priesthp to '5') (set: $actionnum to '0') [[Proceed|Fight Start]]

Although there is a magic circle, it's a dead end. You turn around, and see the mage standing before your party. "Hehehehehehe.....HAhahaAHHAHHAHahhhhhAHHAHAHHhh...yOu FEll fOR mY tRaP...gOOdbYe.." He grins and with the wave of his wand, your party explodes in the circle. BAD END.... [[Restart|Start]]

"It's probably a trap..." You say to the rest of the party. "I guess this is it...there is no treasure here after all huh?" Letting out a sigh, you get ready to pack up and head back. Suddenly, the mage starts glowing a bright yellow light. "...Well done. You saw through the trap and were decent enough to leave the treasure be..." Disappearing, the priest sends out a bright glowing light and bestows the party the divine sword. "Use this well....and thank you for freeing me..." END...To be continued..?
