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.

Yes, these four were our heroes.

Mark Zuckerberg, a young entrepreneur with ambitions of greatness. The dark drove him from his fame and fortune, and he hopes to gain even more... as a god of the new world. With him is his trusty Smartphone. Most of the apps are useless, but he has a sound recorder and video camera. Its screen can serve as a soft light source.
Megalomania occasionally causes Mark to act on his own initiative, or ignore orders he views as beneath him.

Jack Blanchmeyer was a detective before the dark came. Despite his keen eyesight and steady hand, he has suffered from stomach cancer in the past, and the treatment left his body weakened. Fortunately he has his trusty sidearm, Lucy, which is fully loaded.
Frail Body reduces Jack's durability by 1, meaning he will die more easily from injuries.

Rhyotile is an elemental of the earth, the element most resilient to the dark. As such it has managed to survive where other elementals have died off. Its core allows it to reassemble itself from stones, so long as the core is not damaged.
However, the elemental is also slow-moving, and will not cover ground as quickly as others.

Lastly is Tavern Greil, a wandering warrior named after his favorite location. Tavern had to change his name, you see, back when he was mistaken for a wanted criminal. He carries with him a large axe, and has the bulk and skill to use it.
Though luck never seems to be on his side. Poor Tavern as an increased chance to fail at tasks outside his expertise... that is, hitting things with an axe.

Together these unlikely heroes enter the portal and exit into the Door Dimension. Its mysterious geometry lies all about them. What do they do now?

You may now suggest actions for the characters.

All, get to the edge of the platform and check out what those things are on the ledge below you.

No. 581861 ID: 483d7f

Rhyolite and Tavern need to start hacking hand- and foot-holds to climb down from the top platform to that other platform with the glowing red thingy. Mark should take pictures of the thingy and work on making a mapping app for his smartphone so that we can figure out the layout and contents of this dungeon faster. Jack is on overwatch with the gun while everyone else is working.

Rhyolite goes back and lifts up the block.

Tavern Greil is now free.

Jack Blanchmeyer approaches the ledge. He throws his hat like a frisbee across the gap. It strikes the wall and begins falling down towards the platform below.

Mark Zuckerburg approaches the ledge. He takes a picture of the objects below.

Object Identified: a Glowing Red Sphere rests on the stone altar below.

Object Identified: a Wooden Container rests on the platform below. It is similar to a casket, but the lid is a wooden door.

Oh, so this is a I Wanna Be The Guy type of platformer. Dammit, being unlucky is the worst weakness to have for this...

Okay, first of all someone get the block off of the guy. As a standing order for all future hazards, if someone is trapped by something the rest of the party should help the trapped person unless they somehow risk being trapped themselves.

Other standing order, Tavern Greil is never to be the point-man when the party moves.

I'm guessing Rhyolite can jump that distance far without fall damage? If so, Rhyolite should jump down to that platform and try to examine the orb closer. Also open the crate, if he can.

And for all future discoveries of strange objects or items, Zuckerberg should scan/take a picture of them with his phone unless doing so would put his health at risk.

Tavern Greil has obtained Battleaxe (1).

Rhyolite advances.

Mark Zuckerburg opens his calculator app and tries to gauge the distance. He determines that it will probably cause moderate (2) injuries to jump from this height without assistance. Impalement upon stone altar will likely result in death.

Contingent orders registered:
>If someone is trapped, party is to assist them if safely able.
>Tavern Greil is never to be point-man.
>Mark Zuckerburg is to take photos of all new discoveries.
>If someone is hit by a trap while walking forward, all queued movement in that direction is canceled.

No. 582582 ID: d7800e

I say that Rhyolite hangs from the edge, and the others use him as a ladder to climb down, to at least lessen the fall damage. And can he detach parts of himself? If so, do that, and the others can catch him more easily.
>>
No. 582583 ID: 24dc7a

Before trying ledge climbing, Rhyolite and Tavern should push the trap block over the cliff edge onto the red altar then everyone should step back as it falls.

Rhyolite attempts to form a living ladder to help reach the platform safely.

Rhyolite can hold this position for only a short time.

Mark Zuckerburg estimates that, if all goes well, they should be able to reach the platform without injury by climbing down Rhyolite and making a safe landing.
>>
No. 582659 ID: d0a5ee

First Rhyolite should climb back up for a bit in case the red orb is about to explode or something. Then the group members should climb down with the ladder trick one at a time, making sure Rhyloite is able to rest in between them. Mark should go first followed by Tavern, since Jack is needed to keep watch.
>>
No. 582686 ID: d7800e

>>582659
This, except Tavern should go third. Impalement is still a thing, and with him being unlucky, we should be careful. Mark and Jack can push the box to the left and help him down.
Wait, why is Jack keeping watch?

No. 582708 ID: e1609c

Jack Blanchmeyer leans back against the wall and lights up a cigarette... only to find his lighter is out of fuel. How disappointing.

Jack Blanchmeyer puts his hat back on, at least.

Mark Zuckerberg takes a step back.

Tavern Greil retrieves his axe.

Contingent order registered:

Rhyolite jumps down onto the platform, its pieces briefly scattering then pulling back together. The impact has caused minor damage to its core.

Tavern Griel uses his axe to break open the top of the door-container. Inside he sees a series of fibers coiled together to form a lengthy tool that serves multiple functions.

Rhyolite, turn back to normal for a sec. Then, Tavern toss your axe to Rhyolite. From there, Rhyolite toss it down to Mark and Jack's level after making sure nobody can be hurt by it falling. Then turn back into a ladder so Tavern can climb down and use the rope to get to the floor.

If anything seems wrong with that command one of you guys can point it out, hopefully that's monkey's-paw proof so Tavern's luck won't screw anything over

Mark,put the orb through the wall again, but this time go just a little farther, like try to put the tip of a finger in the wall while touching the orb. Then pull it back to see if anything's disappeared. If nothing bad happened, try putting a whole hand through, with the orb of course.

Jack and Tavern, see if you two can retrieve the rope to bring along with you. Then share the orb and pass through.

Also another standing order. When passing items between each other try to do so in the most nonlethal way possible, whether that means warning the reciever of what you're passing so they can catch it, telling people to get out of the line of trajectory, rolling or lightly tossing something instead of throwing it hard, etc.

Retrieving the rope while still being able to get down will require some creative tactics. You'll have to specify what Jack and Tavern are to do, because they are mentally incompetent. And also generally incompetent on Tavern's part.

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.

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.
