MageQuest - An RPG-esque Forum Adventure

[Sir Sivelos]

MageQuest

IT'S FINALLY HERE! MageQuest, the epic adventure, is finally here. If you don't recall, I posted MageQuest before, but it was a bit different. For those who were wondering, I stopped that MageQuest because it wasn't really heading where I wanted it to.

Now, enough talk! Let me cover some important points.

1. This is an RPG-esque forum adventure, very similar to Problem Sleuth.

2. You'll be given a set of choices per post, which dictate where the story goes. The General Commands can be used at any time, while Specific Commands are… well, specific to certain locations. There are normally two (three at the most) per party member. Battle commands can only be used in battle, and will only be viewable when you are in a battle (obviously).

3. Being an RPG-styled adventure, there is a level system. Defeat enemies, gain EXP and loot!

4. There may be the occasional 'update,' where I may introduce a new aspect to MageQuest. However, don't expect these too much.

5. Please, when you input a command, do NOT double-post or spam the command. I'll get to it when I get to it. If I somehow miss your command, shoot me a PM or VM and I'll fix the update.

6. When you are awaiting the next update, feel free to chat. Just please, do not talk about anything inappropriate. This may be Fun and Games, but it's still part of the forum, so obey forum rules.

7. The Inspect command is very fluid. If you want to know more about something, make the Party member of choice inspect that object. Never fully believe what I tell you; I weave clever hints into it. Always inspect. Example: [Mage]: Inspect book.

8. When making updates, I occasionally make mistakes. More often than not, I notice and correct said mistakes, but if I don't, please notify me. Thanks in advance!

9. Sometimes I forget to update. It happens, due to my general laziness and inability to remember everything. If it gets to the point where I haven't updated in a week or more, shoot me a message.

That's about it. Now, experience the epic tale of a young, aspiring mage in training…

Experience MageQuest! Enjoy!

[MageQuest]: Begin.

THE MAGE stands in his wizardly tower in the middle of the country side, contemplating how that one cloud looks like a skull.

Suddenly, however, he remembers that he has a magic lesson with the prestigious ARCHMAGE. THE MAGE needs to get ready, he needs to leave soon or else he'll be late!

I look around the room

[Sir Sivelos]

[Mage] Look around room.

The Mage is the protagonist, silly! But he follows the command regardless.

The Mage's bedroom is quite bare and simple. In one corner, as you'd expect, is his bed. Above the bed hangs a map of the surrounding countryside. In another corner is a MAGIC CHEST, holding a bunch of the Mage's belongings. He should probably get his things before he heads off to the ARCHMAGE's tower. Also, there is a door leading to a corridor outside.

Specific Commands
• [Mage]: Get your stuff out of the chest!
• [Mage]: Look at map.
• [Mage]: Look around a bit more.

---

General Commands
• Inspect…

[Mage]: Get your stuff out of the chest!

[Sir Sivelos]

[Mage]: Get your stuff out of the chest!

The Mage rummages around in his MAGIC CHEST, and pulls out the following:

The APPRENTICE'S WAND, GOLD (1000), PHOENIX FEATHER (2), RESPAWN TICKET (15), and the GRAND WARLOCK'S TOME OF FORBIDDEN MAGIC.

Nice stuff in here.

---

Specific Commands
• [Mage]: Better check map first before going.
• [Mage]: Why not rummage a bit more?

---

General Commands
• Inspect…

Rummage a bit more!

[Sir Sivelos]

[Mage]: Rummage a bit more!

The Mage performs some good old fashioned rummaging. He finds:

MYSTIC CLOTH (3), POWER IRON (1), BOTTLE OF CONCENTRATED SQUASH (5), and MYTHIC CLOTH (1).

The Mage suddenly recalls his lesson with the ARCHMAGE. Better get going!

• [Mage]: Take the shortcut through SWINE FOREST.

[Sir Sivelos]

[Mage]: Take the shortcut through SWINE FOREST.

The Mage leaves his Wizard Tower and approaches the entrance to SWINE FOREST… The first dungeon in the game. We're making headway!

The Mage enters SWINE FOREST, admiring how the trees grow to form rooms, walls, and even ceilings. The room is empty, apart from a few pieces of gold lying on the floor. There are a few paths; one leading NORTH, one leading WEST, and one leading EAST.

---

Specific Commands
• [Mage]: Go EAST!
• [Mage]: Go WEST!
• [Mage]: Go NORTH!
