Canopy is arguably TM's most complex scenario thus far, at least in terms of coding. It's definitely worth a look.

I've had that same problem, actually. Somehow, one group of trees just keeps coming up as searchable (it's in DoK), and I never did figure out why.

Actually, I concur with Thuryl. At first, I thought TM was just a really intellectual jerk (particularly after the Human Nature thread), and his scenarios seemed to confirm half of that in my mind. However, I talked with him a bit after the scenario contest, and he's okay. Not always pleasant to talk to, but he's not evil.

And again, he is definitely a genius. His scenarios have given us all benchmarks for our own progress as designers, and his ideas have redefined what it means to be creative in BoA.

OoC: At last, a post. Sorry for the delay, I've just been horribly sick and tired lately.

IC:

After the invisible army had passed by, it was very reassuring to see a solid person again. It was also reassuring to be able to stop her so easily. When she hit the ground, her difficulty in casting a spell put her out of the category of "dangerous mage," at least in Sequoia's mind.

Casting a dull light from his staff, Sequoia studied the woman who was struggling against Lisha. She looked vaguely familiar, perhaps a woman from the village. Then again, she could've been a woman from any village, as her black cloak didn't particularly stand out as recognizable. On the other hand, the gold mask covering most of her face seemed a bit... unique.

Sequoia looked at her eyes for a moment. "She is not dangerous, and is untainted by this mountain. You can let go of her, Lisha."

The woman looked up at Sequoia for a minute, and appeared confused but grateful. "My name is Edith. I'm not here alone, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't attack the man I was traveling with."

An odd thought struck the druid. Her face isn't moving the right way. The mask should've moved a bit when she spoke. Oh well... no stranger than anything else we've seen so far.

As if on cue, a man in dark green robes appeared further down the hallway, immediately noticing the group. He drew a sword from within his robes, and began charging down the passage. However, Edith quickly motioned to him, and he stopped charging. He finished approaching the group silently.

"Why are you here?" he inquired quickly.

"Probably the same reason as you." Lisha countered. An awkward silence followed.

"Fair enough," the man eventually said. "I am Tuulentekija. Perhaps you can help us."

Tuulentekija quickly explained how their group had been separated, and Edith confirmed the story.

"Fine, but there's one problem," the druid began. "That passage you spoke of, that led to the treasure room... we filled it in. We had to, after we saw the abominations which were inside that chamber."

"Actually," the elf muttered. "We didn't have to. Our friend here just had a bit of a lapse in foresight."

Brother Sequoia fell silent, acknowledging his blunder. The elf continued speaking levelly. "I do not know if we can help you. But all the same, show us these doors." Perhaps the druid had imagined it, but he could've sworn that he'd seen a strange glint in the elf's eyes at that moment. Interesting...

"I do not see how it would be possible, but perhaps you will see something we haven't." Edith said, turning back the way she and Tuulentekija had come. The other three followed quietly.

You know, there is no way I'm going to remember his name... Sequoia thought, musing again on how Edith's voice sounded unnaturally clear through the mask.

OoC: I hope that works.

oh then thanks to Ephesos :D

Actually, it wasn't so much a compliment as me worrying about how much of the posts have been spam. That's just how most post counts shoot up like that. So, in summary: try to avoid spam, chicho.

And more importantly, welcome Jake. Hopefully, you'll stick around if you're an Avernum fan. One detail that Salmon forgot to mention, though: your sanity will be thrown into the fluffy turtle pit, in order to... well, feed the fluffy turtles. I still don't really get why they're fluffy, but it's tradition.

More choices are always good. Perhaps another Order such as the Anama would be a good addition. (Points to DoK for an example)

And it'd be interesting to see an organization to balance out the Anama, like the option to enter into apprenticeship with the Triad in Avernum or something like that. Of course, not a full one, as that'd take years.

TM is definitely a genius, though perhaps in the vein of a mad scientist's genius. Just don't get him into a philosophical discussion... (look for ye olde Human Nature thread if you want an example)

It'll be interesting to see him return.

There was some sort of debate going on in this thread, wasn't there? What was it again?

Oh well, can't be anything very important...

Very strange indeed.

Maybe Jeff just didn't know about it. Or maybe he just doesn't care. But either way, it does look like a rather blatant ripoff.

And don't expect Jeff to respond to every email, chicho.

EDIT: The skyrocketing postcount is a bit disconcerting, chicho.

Enough shameless plugs, Thralni.

Nana Sarah, welcome to the sanity-sucking place known to us as the boards (the turtle pit is somewhere around here). Please don't just make one post and leave, because that happens way too often.

And about the maps, it's more fun to play without them anyway... adds to the story.
