Text Quest Adventure

Rules

Like the old text quest adventures of yesteryear, this game is an RPG entirely made of text wherein the player is prompted with some sort of situation and must then input a command to progress. Other than the starting comment, the story and flow of the game will be entirely up to you. There are two types of posts allowed for this game:

1) A story based reaction to the action taken from the previous post, and current story situation. These posts must end in "What do you do?" or a similar question.

2) An action.

These two roles alternate and can be as lengthy or brief as the writer chooses. Players many not double post, and only the first post of a multi-posted number role will be taken. If the character dies, we reset to the last reaction story-based element (e.g. like Dragon's Lair).

Example:

Previous Post: The gate slams closed behind you and suddenly spike start extending from the walls and ceiling, inching closer as time slowly clicks on. With your only exit being the door you came in from, what do you do?

Player 1 posts: Charge the door in an attempt to knock it down or break it.

Player 2 posts: Your efforts are all for naught and the door stands strong. The spikes draw closer. What do you do?

So on and so forth. If you choose to kill the player you must post your death sequence as well as either the last story based post before the death so we can attempt another action or start a new story.

Starting Scenario

As the sun reaches our hero's eyes you awake to find yourself lying on a slate bed (a rather uncomfortable and unfortunate surface). You begin to rub your eyes to try to break from this delusion, but soon reality kicks in; you are surrounded by 30 ft stone walls with the only missing item from this isolation cell being the opening in the wall in front of you. Upon standing to your feet you feel light-headed, however progress through this room of sorts to grope some understanding of where you could be. Going forward to the only opening in this capsule, you glance out to find that there is some sort of hallway system out of this room. You can only surmise that, given this harsh disregard for architecture, you could only be in some labyrinth. Before the fear of such a hopeless situation can kick in, you decide to explore what you can. First things first however, the hall outside of the room parts to the left and to the right. Equipped with nothing but the clothes on your back and a trusty satchel, which path do you take?

The next player posts an action.
The player after them posts the results.

BEGIN

---

Take the right path - because it looks like the right thing to do.

You take the path to the right, giving up the potential things you left behind. After a few twists and turns down the corridor you finally reach an large garden like room affixed with a flowing fountain in the center. No danger appears to be in sight, so perhaps you can take your time to relax. What do you do?

---

I panic and end up not knowing where I am going.

You begin to panic. Your wild hysteria causes you to rethink your last decision. You wearily turn to go back however slip on the now moistened stone floor from the fountain. *THUD* You feel a strong blow to the back of your head and you slam into the fountain. As the flowing water turns to a dark crimson your eyelids grow heavy and you begin to feel the water and darkness consume you.

DEAD
The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself...and getting lost.

Walk around a bit and take in your surroundings.

You begin walking around the garden area, observing what you can. After one quick glance around you notice the overgrown foliage lining the walls and floor as well as the seemingly dysfunctional fountain which is overflowing on one side. A few rocks adorn the floor as well, perhaps remains from the crumbling labyrinth. Looking past the massive fountain you notice that there is another hallway on the opposite end of the room as well as a sign affixed on the wall near the exit. What do you do?

---

Go to read the sign.

Our hero walks upon the path to the sign, but alas...2 feet from where the sign is there seems to have been a pit.
You end up falling and praying for the last 2 minutes of your life.
Hopeless.

A spiky death.


You awaken to a spawn point atop a mountain.
You only have your clothes and a spoon.
You either ponder to think what to do next in the miserable altitude where it is freezing or attempt to go down the mountain.

Attempt to go down the mountain and find someplace not as cold.

---

It's a secret mountain headquarters for an organization of supervillains! They spot you and send henchmen to capture you. You see several possibilties: escaping, fighting back, giving in... What do you do?

Swing at them full fury with my spoon and hope it'll be ok.

Your Klein Co. Tachyonic Bowl-on-a-Stick deals a crushing blow to one of the henchman, causing him to disappear in a flash of pink light.

The other four draw their extremely impractical Fire Swords. Made out of fire.

You see that the Stick portion of the Bowl-on-a-Stick contains a switch with two positions, Lemon-Lime and Wild Cherry, a dial with ten settings going from a dot to a stylized galaxy, and a power button. The switch is on Lemon-Lime, the dial is on its fourth setting, and the power button is depressed.

Do you continue attacking the henchman, or take a moment to fiddle with the settings?

---

Set the switch to "Wild Cherry" and the dial to the sixth setting, and press the power button.

After hitting the power button, a shrieking call echoes through the cavern and suddenly, out of nowhere, Kool-Aid Man bursts through the wall. He looks pissed. Real pissed. He pounds his way to the henchmen still in shock and fear of this massive man and begins dunking them in his Wild Cherry beverage top. Their shrieks are short lived, and now only the grunts of the Kool-Aid Man fill the hall. After disposing of the henchmen the Kool-Aid Man turns to you with a face full of fury and you lock eyes with him. What do you do?

---

Get in the bowl and try to drink all that kool-aid like all the henchmen failed to do.

You charge the Kool-Aid Man and vault into his bowl top doing a few backflips along the way. Perfect landing! You spash into his Wild Cherry juices and immediately get to work, all the while the Kool-Aid Man wallows in pain. Upon the last drop of sugary goodness you feel the bowl begin to violently shake. The Kool-Aid Man screams "NOOO, NOT AGAIN" and spontaneously combusts and implodes at the same time. Hard to say whether the implosion or the infinite shards of glass now embedded in you were the real killer, but one thing is for sure, you are

DEAD
Next time, try not to bite off more than you can chew...or drink from the man who saved you

You awake to find yourself fully clothed for once and in a new-fangled spacesuit. Looking around you you see a couple of windows with nothing beyond them but an empty void and shiny stars. Before you know it, alarms start sounding telling the crew of the ship to begin evacuating immediately. You search yourself only to find a standard issue phaser, a pack of cigarettes, and a can opener. Your potential areas for escape are to crack a window and jump into space, or run out of the room and look for help. What do you do?

---

I punch one of the men in the crew, steal their oxygen tank and mask and jump into space. Hopefully I would land onto a planet like Mario does in Mario Galaxy and suffer nothing but wasting time until I land on to the nearby-looking planet.
