What Time Remembered (formerly Generic Text Adventure)

[raekuul]

"While it is true that you have done only good, the vast majority of Tribal Spears and users of Tribal Spears are those who do evil. It's noble of you to try and change the perceptions of others, but you're fighting against thousands of years of history here and you are just one person." Cancer points out. "And most of the Tribal Spears in our time are in the hands of Entropy Cultists. The common people are going to cry out for your blood simply because you have a Tribal Spear."

[itisally*]

He was formed completely by accident, but I can't seem to bring myself to take him appart as He has given me no reason to. I guess we will see what the futre holds. While I don't expect to change the minds of the common man I would hope that the people I have been working and know that I know nothing of this world would have the curtosy to talk to me rather than wisper rumors behind my back.

[raekuul]

You hear the skepticism in Sagittarius' voice. "How does one accidentally combine a skull and a spear?"

You walk for a little while, then arrive at a room on the second floor.

[itisally]

Really, I was just starting out and I thought it would be funny to stick the skull on the end of the spear. I had no idea that the result would be anything more than decorative or silly, they it started talking to me.
_________________
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.

[raekuul]

Someone in the room sighs. "That's what they all say. 'I was just starting out.' 'I had no idea that using a human skull would create an evil item.' 'I didn't kill him, he was already dead.' You're lucky that your actions speak in your favor so far."

[itisally*]

( I would say it wasn't my idea, but that just seems silly) Well I hope they continue to.

[raekuul]

The room settles down, and the fifteen of you begin deliberating over whether or not to begin the process of moving the castle to your home planet.

However, just as they seem to be reaching a decision, there is an interruption. One of the castle guards barges in.

"There's been an attack on the top floor! Wyvern Riders are trying to break into the Vaults!"

End of Chapter 2

[itisally]

So how do you fight them!

[raekuul]

You follow the Zodiac members up to the top floor.

Pick a number between 1 and 13

[itisally*]

10

[raekuul]

Many of the members of the Zodiac split off from your group as you ascend. Eventually, there are only four of you still together - yourself, Gemini, and Taurus.

The top of the stairs is blocked by a Raider.

You ready your spear. The Raider takes a look at you, and blows on a whistle. You hear the rushing sound of wings coming from somewhere nearby. The raider readies a shield.

keep my eyes on the raider and duck low to make myself a smaller target for what ever flying thing is coming. Man a shield sounds nice right now.

All you see is wall.

[itisally]

Well enough standing around then. Cast freezing mists and the raider.

[raekuul]

You unleash a Freezing Mist at the Raider. The raider ices over. The raider can't move very well now.

You hear something clawing at the wall from the other side.

Several beams of light lance out from your hand and strike the wyvern. The wyvern cries loudly in pain. Its leathery wings beat against the door frame as it tries to squeeze into the staircase.

The raider squirms, and you notice that his hand is clutched around a necklace.

You wrestle for a moment with the Raider as you try to take the necklace. The wyvern continues to struggle with entering the stairwell.

You obtain a necklace. The wyvern stops struggling. The Raider rolls over and springs to his feet.

The flames engulf the raider. All that is left of him is a black stain on the floor.

The wyvern looks on with mild disinterest.

[Dread Pirate Westley]

Attempt to ascertain the properties of the amulet.

[raekuul]

You attempt to ascertain the properties of The Amulet. You don't have The Amulet, but you do have a necklace.

The wyvern looks at you curiously.

[MNOWAX]

place the necklace around my neck, then command the wyvern to turn around.

[raekuul]

You're taking an awfully big risk in wearing an unidentified necklace. Haven't you ever played Nethack?

Whatever. You put on the necklace and can hear the voices of one of the other raiders in your head.

"Fred! Fred, what happened? You said something about a Wizard, what was that about? Your wyvern's broken from our control!"

Attempt to communicate telepathically:

Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal. Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

[MNOWAX]

[raekuul]

You pass your message on to the raiders... who then promptly decide to send assistance to you.

The wyvern looks agitated.

[raekuul]

The wyvern slashes a claw in your general direction, but the attempt is half-hearted at best and comes nowhere close.

The person on the other end waits for a moment, then responds. "Very well, but you know that I need the proper authorization code from you if you want me to override a command that's already been issued. You know how the head guys get when one of us decide to ignore orders."

"well let it be on your head that you are sending them to death. First priority is that Wyvern! Attack it first! Ir's about to..."

Then take off the Necklace but still hold on to it.

Cast freezing mists directed at the Wyvern.
