Silvan Haven Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The number of tombs and dungeons of the video game type are rather on the low end. Ruin numbers are in that area because the island just went through over a thousand years of warfare of some level or another. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless.

Banana Gunz Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Well no one says the labyrinth has to be in ruins... Besides, it's either those ruins are underground, or on a different island entirely. They don't necessarily have to be under Mata-Nui. Ruins are some of the coolest things because they can have their own styles and themes and let characters explore the mysteries of the past. I quite like that idea honestly. Could make for some cool plot! By the way, what ever happened to that quest some people did in their search for clues to the vaults by going to the spot under the red star?

Banana Gunz Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I like the idea of having matoran be a part of the quest, and a matoran guide. I was imagining the maze would go underground and the entrance being on a small island elsewhere. I imagine it to be big, dangerous and complex and divided elementally with there being a definite map for it (It could be slightly incomplete/vague though). The main adventure would come from the troubles faced along the way, and the stuff found at the heart.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Ah, well not yet partaking in the actual RP (Still compiling my character profiles) not sure how well I could guide anyone. Though with staff permission and some brainstorming I could come up with something in my LDD. Maybe with Elemental hazards and gates. We would have to come to a consensus on how we wanted to play it out though. First I don't exactly know how big a file can be on the LDD but would give a good 3D aspect as I could take screen caps and upload them here for The viewing pleasure of whomever would be taking part in the story arch or whatever it may be called. Also Should the Maze/labyrinth be pre-designed prior or maybe build on it as we go and see what picture develops? Remember, there is a difference between a maze and a labyrinth. A labyrinth, traditionally, doesn't have alternate paths. Remember, kiddos, might come in handy...No I did not actually know that. So what is a Labyrinth if not a mix of mazes and tunnels? Just a winding single tunnel? Anyway Let me know and I could get started on this. Have to have ideas why one would want to go into this place. Also why a single Matoran would not only know about it but be able to guide someone through it hopefully safely.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If one believes the Greek myth, then how did people get lost in the Labyrinth if it's a single line?See this here perplexes me. I have watched a special on History or something like that where they found a place that could have inspired the myth. It said that it wasn't so much a maze of tunnels and halls but more a vast collection of inter connecting rooms. So it would have one room that connects to another with one to three additional doorways leading to their own rooms with one to three additional doorways, and so forth. Keep in mind that the staff already have the world set and a lot of it planned out. Quests that go introducing things like Elemental Lords sort of mess with that.Well that is why I said with staff permission. Not yet apart of the RP here I don't know the rules of adding new story arcs or content short of ones own character.

Silvan Haven Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Its generally best if you try to keep your quests inside the world already created, less headaches that way. The loot you get from said quests tends to be a bit more freeform though. Minor relics and the like if you can convince staff. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless.

BOTH ways of currying the favor of the Legacy were ones I didn't want to pursue with her, due to the involvement of my other characters.
