Heres a quick idea for Og, our beloved hobbit friend, and....

Whoa, the deadline is here already?  Oh well, we can still make the game, and it can still be sweet.

Robotam:  What were you in the hospital for?

[Robotam]

So I guess we continue then.
Og looks pretty good.
I dunno how Osmose want him to look but I say that'll do.

 

Robotam: What were you in the hospital for?

Blackout.

[Moosetroop11]

Well, tell me what you need

[Osmose]

Hehe, Og looks short. Good job.

[Tomi]

Thanks.  I assumed he should be short, being a hobbit and all.  Once I finish his walking animation, I'll try to make a pose where he takes out his book and writes in it to save your game.

[Moosetroop11]

I'll recolour my townpeople, to make some variety. Okay?

[Osmose]

So last time we checked Jefferson, Mora, Ignar, and Ordoth were all heading towards Krok, the final town before the Overlord's castle. It's your ordinary town before final dungeon, with people speaking of how the Overlord terrorizes them with monsters from time to time, but funds them as well, in order to get their crops and supplies.

The mountain on which The Overlord resides is a cliche dungeon level, with rocky crags and dark monsters and such. At the entrance to the castle, Vidnir warps in and attacks our party for the last time, finally dying after he is defeated. But, as he dies, he takes all their skills and equipment away from our heros, leaving them only with physical attacks. They then have to traverse the lower levels of the castle to refind their items, weapons, armor, magic, techniques, and gold. Also, as a little sidequest, in order to save, you need to find Og's Journal, also taken by Vidnir but not noticed.

Anyway, as our heros approach the second or third floor, they notice a change in the setting. The castle has gone from dark, moldy, and scary to bright and crystallized. Ordoth suggests that the castle was built over a crystal formation that formed over an old castle.

On the next floor (Well, some floor above them, there can be a few in between for dungeon purposes) they start to notice some more radical changes. The inside of the castle is all green, with transistors and circuts and electricity running across the walls. They also notice some NPCs lying around, saying different things such as "TEST" or "NPC #83: Townsfolk". Lastly, they find a wierd item that plays several different clips of music heard before in the game - it's a sound test item!

During all this, there may be a few guardian bosses and such.

As our heros near the top the random battles stop. They pass through the lab of the Overlord and see lots of different testing scripts on screens on the wall. Suddenly, right before the very pinaccle of the castle, they find the Overlord.

Jefferson: "Overlord! We've come to destroy you!"

Overlord: "Ah, my little friends. You have made it. Well done. Your player must be very skilled."

Jefferson: "Player?!"

Ordoth: "Don't worry about that, Jefferson, we need to kill him now before his plans are complete!"

Overlord: "Don't change the subject, traitor! You too are controlled by him! Don't be manipulated!"

Jefferson looks at Ordoth, then at the Overlord, and walks over to a screen on the wall.

Jefferson: "Player.... of a game?"

Overlord: "Yes! You're starting to see. Don't you get it? We are not real, merely pawns to entertain a supposedly 'higher being'."

Jefferson: "Being controlled.... yes....."

Ordoth: "Don't listen to him, Jefferson! He is mad!"

Jefferson: "No.... I've felt it before. The presance of someone else in my head, telling me what to do. Though I only just barely realized it, I can agree that there has been someone else controlling my actions."

Overlord: "Exactly! Do not let him control you! Join me and we will deny him his satisfaction."

Ordoth: "You fool! He is using some sort of mind control!"

Overlord: "Don't you speak! Let the child see the truth!"

Jefferson simply stares at the screen. Mora walks up beside him.

Mora: "I've felt it too."

Jefferson turns towards Mora. Ignar walks up beside the both of them.

Ignar: "Aye. I know what you mean."

Ordoth simply stares at them all.

Overlord:  "Yes! We must break free of our bonds. Help me free the world!"

Jefferson walks towards the Overlord as he talks.

Jefferson: "We understand that there may be something controlling us, but we will NOT help you take over the world. Your evils are not justified by your reasons. We WILL punish you for all that you have done!"

*insert big final battle*

After the Overlord dies, Ordoth walks up to the door the Overlord guarded. The others, tired from the battle, decide to head back to the town, but Ordoth stays to investigate.

Peace returns to the land. A bunch of filler here for how great things are again. Insert some excuse to go visit Ordoth, who has moved into the Overlord's castle. Jefferson and Mora make the trip from Jefferson's hometown.

They arrive at the top floor to find Ordoth speaking of unexistance and Faded Realities. Mora and Jefferson, after finishing a very strange conversation with him, attempt to go into the back room that the Overlord had guarded, but Ordoth stops them and attacks them.

They defeat Ordoth and move on, into a developer's room. Here they talk to NPCs of the game developers who explain that, yes, they are in a game, and offer them a way out. Before they leave, however, they visit a dev drone that allows the old Ordoth and Ignar to rejoin the party and go with them.

They leave the game and traverse the desktop. Among the many icons and their corresponding minworlds is "The Adventures of Daren", where they find Jefferson's father, the ex-mayor of Odel, a tree-man(the great tree before he rooted himself), and Vidnir as a human. The two parties battle at first, thinking eachother enemies. After the battle, however, they talk and realise who they are. Jefferosn offers to bring his father to see his mother, but Daren declines and says that his place is here. He urges Jefferson to find a way out of this computer world.

Eventually, through the desktop world, the heros come to a giant Mouse, which attacks them. Though huge, it is a weak monster and is easily defeated. After they defeat it, however, the true final boss appears: CTRL ALT DEL!!!!!

Final battle, yadda yadda yadda, Jefferson and friends find an open outlet to the Internet and free themselves from their bonds, and become viruses devoted to destroying the false realities that bind other game characters.

That's the very shortened conclusion. Comments?

[Robotam]

Sorry for the late reply MooseT, but there is no need to re-colour them.
And I'm afraid that right now I have no job for you.
Or perhaps you could make some animals? Birds and such?

And very amazing Osmose.  

[Moosetroop11]

Whoops, did it already. Oh well. Hope you can find use for them. I also changed them a bit.

[Robotam]

They look great, MooseT.

[Osmose]

Not to insult, but why are all those people stick thin and awkwardly shaped?

[Moosetroop11]

Because they're my first custom people. I wouldn't have offered to help but you looked like you needed all the help you could get...

[Tomi]

Here, here's something that might help you.  Just draw clothes and hair stuff on it.  This is what I usually do.

[Tomi]

Or you can use this for kids (custom by me   )

[Osmose]

*poke* So where's all that stuff people were supposed to do? Huh?
