Red Riddle

 

        What's re/tell? (some of you who may wonder) Re/tell is a re-imagining or telling the story/ events through a different perspective that may not be true to the roots of realms. To be specific, the scenario can be based on either a build's feature, myths, monster, or anything realm related. Even the mechanics can be altered depending on the designated genre. Also the /tell itself is play on words with the chat command scheme. Mostly the format of the tale consist on the structure sometimes similar to a interactive fiction or should I say comic style. If you happen to dislike this sort of direction, then I suggest you to look elsewhere if it doesn't intrigued your interest. This is the first time I'll attempt this method through thread form. (Experimental) Thank you for your patience.

      Wizard: "Wha.. Where am I?! Why's my staff gone missing?"

      As bewildered as it may sound, well I'm not sure of myself... You advance ahead and found yourself-

 

 

      In front of the three mysterious pillars! Wondering what purpose or signs it meant for. You observe the direction that's the back of the pillars. Which reaches the end of the starting room.

      Wizard: "Hey could that be..."

 

 

      Why yes, two doors are waiting to be opened. Which side are you going for?

 

Left

Right

      You've taken the weight out of the load, then you managed to sail comfortably. You continue to row to your heart content, soon you'll reach the end of your destination.

 

 

      Ahoy! You've found the Burnt Emblem, the last of the relic pieces. Aye, did something caught your attention?

 

 

      Oh do tell! You've found a portal! It might take you out here! Well what are you waiting for?

 

      You slowly approach the portal by making baby steps? Hey! What's the matter? Do you encounter a complication?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      After couple of moments, you've finally got over whatever that's bother you. You reached your hand onto the portal... Then it happened-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      As you leave from the portal, the trace from it just vaporate into thin air!

      Wizard: "Hello, is there anyone here?"

      -Silence-

      What a bizarre atmosphere, is this the realms? No it can't be, is it?

      You couldn't help but to think that you're regretting something...

      Wizard: (Oh no, I'm not suppose to be HERE!!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

      Shortly after, you got pummeled by seven flaming bolts by an unknown assailant. The excruciating sensation, you're unable to move an inch of your muscle. It's best that you should lie down on the floor and rest. Although you're trying to remember who did this to you, but it's all a blur-

      Would you like to go back to a certain point?

 

Please do

 

        Notes:

It has been over three years since the Red Castle first added. [Build 91, 04/12/2010] ( Screen)

The Rid Riddle is inspired by the past setpiece that used to appear on the godlands. However, couple builds later it's no longer shown... Ah, yes I forgot to mention. The portal that you lead the Wizard into wasn't the Portal of Cowardice. The Red Castle in this scenario isn't made to be a dungeon but as a setpiece just how it came to be.

      You chose to row across of 200ft lava, rowing away at finest. Hey, that works too!

 

And so...

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

      The Left Room it is! Isn't that an elegant velvet carpet flooring, hey look over there!

 

 

      That's looks about 200ft away to reach the end of the room. Is it worth the effort to across through though?

 

 

      What are you going to do?

 

Walk across the carpet

Go to other door

      What good will harming yourself gets you? Why?! WHY?! Eh, I'm getting a disturbance from somewhere...

      ???: "YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE RED CARPET BECAUSE THE RED CARPET IS LAVA!"

      You imagine that this incident have never occur and proceed with an alternate choice.

 

An alternative

      What an unexpected turn of events, you've sunk into the lava due to amount of items you're carry in... Probably it doesn't matched up with the shield's specification? Want to go back on your previous choice?

 

Of course

      This room seems clear, oh wait... What's that awaits for you at the center?

 

 

Hmm, three mighty demon warriors-

      Wizard: I got no time for this!!

 

 

      Well that worked rater nicely... Your spell did pack a punch thus disintegrate these demons to pile of ashes. Congrats on obtaining a Steel Shield, while your not eligible to use in combat, it might serve some use in later situations. You begin to approach the end of the room and stumble upon-

 

 

      A relic, well that's dandy. You gladly accept it into your inventory, it could be a key to something of importance. Ah, another door! I wonder does it lead to?

 

 

      Decision time! What course of action are you going for?

 

Stepping on lava

Cast a spell

      "SUDDENLY FLOOR IS LAVA!" Okay, please get off the lava and go to the other room...

 

Other room

      There we go, a change can occur once you fulfill a task. Do you know what exactly?

 

Enter Left Room

Return to the portal

Assemble Relics & Insert

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

      Alright, a change has been taken place within the left room. Let's see if there's differences...

 

 

      You can now walk through the red carpet with grace without lava flowing through.

 

 

 

 

 

 

      There, we're at the final stretch! Without hesitation you took action right of the bat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      Wizard: Thank you!

 

        Notes:

The ending was inspired by the Hot Spring that's generated within the godlands in the early builds.
