Did you catch it?
#3: Things undone, places ungone
Welcome to the third episode of "Did You Catch It?" As I'm focusing on only one forum game for now, and it's not TWoOtA, it's only customary to provide readers with
something. This episode's theme - if you couldn't guess from the title - is "things the players skipped over, couldn't do at the time or decided not to bother with."
What happened to the place where we rescued Riltia?At some point during Ciro's journey, Dungeon Level 2 remodeled itself. Part of this was due to the art style change and part was due to the random nature of the dungeons (hey, I have to stay true to the genre). However, one particularly notable change was here:
Right after the second Arena Battle, Ciro noticed something was different. Specifically, the north door in the market disappeared. Why did this happen? Well, examine the map very carefully. Other than that one room, we've never seen exits to or from valid rooms in the dungeon outside the boundaries of the mini-map. This hints at the nature of dungeon generation. It also very slightly hints at what exactly that place beyond the teleport pad WAS.
Of course, that means Ciro and Riltia lost that chest forever. Or did they? Hm...
What are the places in the Underside we haven't visited yet?Here's some interesting facts about the Underside map the readers may not have considered.
1. Circuitrix refers to the off-limits area under the Underside - the
Belowside - as The Deep. The map lists it as the Depths. The Deep is of huge significance to a plot thread that probably won't be discovered for at least several months. I could be lying about this.
2. Assuming the text in the map refers to locations in their horizontal and vertical placement, the light shining in the greens comes from an area above simply titled "??????????"
3. The area west of the Greens entrance is not mapped out yet. You'll need a way to either fix the bridge or cast Windirection successfully without rolling a one and flying into acid.
4. The area on top of the rest goes Council-Village-Market. I retconned this mapping as Council-Market-Village because going through a residential area to get to what really matters is boring. Regardless, the final Village area - east of the market - is still unvisited.
5.
The area where the Searchbots originally came in through. The tunnel up top, I mean. It wasn't explorable before Windirection.
Was Yaos savable?Yes.
Hope everyone enjoyed the third episode of "Did You Catch It?" As always, the show will be back next haitus!
