A dark cloud spreads across the world, consuming all it touches. No one knows what caused it, but nearly everything has now been swallowed up in little over a week.

There is only one light of hope left. These four heroes have gathered the materials required to open a portal to the Door Dimension. Within is a dungeon designed to test any who might claim its prize: the First Door. Legend holds that the gods of old stepped through the First Door into nothing, and there they constructed this world with their will.

This world is now gone. But if these four heroes can reach the First Door, they may be able to craft a new one and shut out the dark. Only one question remains before they embark on their journey... who are they?

This is a quest similar to Puzzle Dungeon, in which characters created by /quest/ progress through a platforming adventure. There will only be four characters at the beginning. A character requires the following:

A name,
A skill or ability,
A weakness,
And an identifying description or image to help mark them on the dungeon screen.

Characters are not controlled by their creator alone. Anyone may give them commands.

New characters may only reinforce the party at every fifth room. If all current characters die, it is game over.

There are 100 rooms in the dungeon.

Jack Blanchmeyer ties one of Rhyolite's arms to the rope and winds up, throwing it skywards.

Everyone else moves aside.

It seems that, despite his DEADEYE MARKSMANSHIP, Jack Blanchmeyer's FRAIL CONSITUTION cannot work up the force to fling the stone arm high enough.

Hmm...Rhyolite, you take the rope and try. The rest of you back up some more and keep an eye out just in case something goes terribly wrong with his attempt.

Jack and Rhyolite swap places.

Rhyolite receives the Rope.

Rhyolite flings the arm high into the air, with its arm attached. However, the rope is not long enough to reach the Glowing Protrusion.

Lets try having Rhyolite poke the end of the rope in the purple beam to see what happens then.

Rhyolite extends part of the rope into the beam of purple light. The rope droops as is normal, but Rhyolite feels a strong downward force pulling on the rope.

Mark Zuckerberg scans the beam of purple light. According to his Gravimeter App, the downward force of gravity is stronger within the area the light touches.

Well, I'm out of ideas. And when I run out of ideas, I usually default to brute force.
Jack: snipe the purple thing. Chances are it's some sort of zelda switch. If not, I see no way to reach it anyhow unless Mark has some sort of weirdo scifi Laddermaker app on that phone of his.

Taking aim, Jack Blanchmeyer fires up at the glowing protrusion. Upon being struck its color shifts to green.

Rhyolite's rope begins levitating.

Mark Zuckerberg detects that the area within the light is now actively reversing gravity and lightly pulling things upward.
>>
No. 589339 ID: 7b2b64

Leave the red orb behind, and put a rock in the green light to make sure things only lightly float up rather than falling up.

Rhyolite: walk into beam, do a backflip on your way up and land upsidedown on the ceiling. Once there, hold out rope for the rest of the party to climb up to get to the exit.

Rhyolite sends one of its rocks up in the beam. It floats gently skyward.

Tavern Greil drops the Red Orb.

Rhyolite lands on the ceiling and reaches out of the beam, lowering the rope, which is much too short.

The Door Dimension has been breached. The cloud has infiltrated the dungeon.
>>

EVERYONE INTO THE BEAM AND THEN OUT THE DOOR! If need be, we do this in the order of:
Mark first, Jack second and Tavern last.
Rhyo, leave through the door ASAP!
>>
No. 589463 ID: e3aff6

Rhyolite should climb onto the ledge then hold the rope so that the others can pull themselves up faster.
>>
No. 589464 ID: 189a54

>>589457
Damn, everyone hurry up that thing and through the door. I'd suggest Tavern before Jack though, with his luck he might risk being caught by the cloud if he's last in line.

The feeling of dread subsides.

Mark Zuckerberg scans a rope point ahead.

...why did we leave behind the red gem again?
>>
No. 590174 ID: b651f5

Tie the rope to the rope point and check to make sure it will hold your weight.

>...why did we leave behind the red gem again?
Worried it would interfere with the purple light. That was probably a bad idea.

Rhyolite attaches the rope to the rope point and ensures that it is structurally sound.

>>590154
Tavern Greil was ordered to drop the Red Orb. He was not ordered to retrieve it before leaving.

It is possible to return to levels previously visited, but if they have been covered in the darkness they will be much more dangerous.
>>
No. 591448 ID: 879a42

.....if that was a key item we need to go get it. Zuckerburg should stay here, I feel like since the darkness just came and we now know it isn't instance death, we need to get in there fast before all the terrible shit forms, we might not have an encounter if we just get in and out.

So far tavern is our best bet. He's kinda useless without an axe. I say send him.

No. 591479 ID: 436cdc

So, can our stone elemental breathe underwater? I imagine if we found a way to cover the core we might be able to keep it from harm going after the chest once the red gem is back in our hands.
>>
No. 591500 ID: 2baea8

>>591479
Rhyolite does not need to breath, but he doesn't float and his core has no locomotion on its own. All the characters know how to swim, but Tavern has a penalty to all my hidden dice rolls that do not involve hitting things with an axe or axe-like object, and Jack can't hold his breath for as long due to his poor constitution. Zuckerberg's smartphone is waterproof unless damaged.

Update should be tomorrow unless something comes up.

The party proceeds back through the portal.

Upon returning to the previous level, the sense of imminent doom is overpowering. The darkness has not yet overtaken where they are, but it is only a matter of time.

Mark and Jack go for the red orb in the safest route you can, Rhyolite try to retrieve your piece from the shaft and return to the ledge safely. Tavern keep where you are, until we find a new weapon for you somewhere you won't be much help if things go south.

Note: Tavern is proficient with any weapon with 'axe' in the name. Give him AXE Body Spray and he'll be able to kill something with it.

Oh lol just realized its a one way levitation device. Well, nothing to do but go back and proceed without the gem. Gotta press on without it, and stay ahead of the darkness.

Everyone else begins to leave, but Rhyolite is determined to try something, and begins dropping pieces of stone down at the darkness. This has no tangible effect, but does seem to momentarily confuse the creeping shadow.

Go for it golem man, tell a funny joke as you retrieve the orb. Continue the confusion.
