"Order" is such a misleading word. For us, it usually means PIZZA PARTY WOOHOO!

GACK. Alright, alright, you twisted my arm!

Cressa was actually a wild card on this one. Hers would've been a coin flip between making a wish and not making a wish. You might think she'd do something incredibly selfish with the chance of a no-restrictions true wish being dangled in front of her by a godlike being, but no. She has one of her surprising moments of clarity, states that the Oracle "can never give her what she truly desires," and passes the wish on to Jessie.

(Interestingly, I recently found by accident that the name Cressa, while having no meaning in her fictional language, is an actual name in ours - a diminutive of Cressida, which means "gold." I found this incredibly amusing and appropriate, seeing as Jessie's birth name implies darkness, whereas his character is more associated with light and gold, and now the opposite can be said of Cressa. It's as if the two of them have been flipped. Scarily strange how accidents happen, isnt it? 8D)

I will go ahead and post the full storyline for the remainder of the chapters somewhere. Perhaps here, perhaps in the main thread. Depends where I decide it would fit best!

I think I might as well go ahead and lock this thread now. Feel free to give your opinions or whatever in another thread, such as I'm On Fire or the RPDT =D Love you guys, thanks for seeing this insanely taxing project through right to the end!

OH, one thing I forgot to show you guys, before we all go - I drew a map of the ruined cathedral to help me remember where everything was and where all the traps were. You guys actually missed the worst of the puzzles and deadliness 8D;

User Image

The purple dots are living stone beasts which come to life when the security system is activated via the dias. The red are mechanical traps such as the arrows and trapdoors, but the big floor full of red and blue in the middle is actually one giant puzzle room that, if done incorrectly, drops the heroes right on top of the dragon sleeping in the deep chamber below.

The pink splodges are magical traps, such as an incinerating trap, the Illusion of Heart's Desire trap, which wouldve caused a lot of confusion since our heroes wouldve already been separated by the time they reached it. The "Melting Trap" sounds horrible and I cant remember quite what it was meant to do - all I remember is that one of them was to be trapped in this small, apparently inescapable dark room which sealed upon being entered and bad things would happen if the others didnt get them out quick enough.

Again, hope you guys have enjoyed the trip! =D
