quest formula
[18:26:55] kalendis: basic formula defining quests?
[18:27:26] myseriels: hero formula or something
[18:27:33] myseriels: you're some small fry
[18:27:39] myseriels: put into an amazing challenge
[18:27:56] myseriels: along the way you meet others to help you out, you get bigger/buffer/get better equip
[18:28:05] kalendis: you mean like rpg plotlines?
[18:28:15] myseriels: i remember someone wrote a good thing on it
[18:28:18] myseriels: but it's all over
[18:28:23] myseriels: not necessarily rpg
[18:28:35] myseriels: but if you and rpg source, that works
[18:28:53] myseriels: and = have
[18:30:48] kalendis: hrm i dunno, all rpgs are like that plotline mostly
[18:31:07] myseriels: quest formula :)
[18:31:33] myseriels: i remember it from greek myth classes
[18:31:50] myseriels: but i thought i read something about it from a link on the isen forums
[18:33:16] kalendis: you mean like stuff like the humble hero
[18:33:20] kalendis: or the reluctant hero
[18:33:35] kalendis: or the hero who has no idea what he's getting into when he agrees to fix someone's kitchen sink?
[18:37:59] myseriels: i guess that works in a formulaic way, too
[18:38:49] myseriels: that there's a hitch, and now (s)he has to go to the hardware store
[18:39:04] myseriels: to retrieve the one and only part w/ the one and only tool
[18:39:10] myseriels: but along the way, there's a better tool
[18:39:16] kalendis: nono it has to be fantastic
[18:39:17] myseriels: but he's got to go to another town
[18:39:26] kalendis: like out of the pipe pops this sewer monster
[18:39:34] myseriels: and to reach there, he has to wander the country side
[18:39:38] myseriels: raise money for his steed
[18:39:49] myseriels: ooh.. nice
[18:40:03] myseriels: no... a mouse shows up
[18:40:12] myseriels: to warn him w/ some mysterious allegory
[18:40:17] myseriels: of various sewer monsters
[18:40:38] kalendis: haha
[18:41:42] myseriels: in the end, he comes back to learn that the "friend" who sent the hero on the quest is the evil mastermind
[18:41:52] kalendis: hhahaa
[18:42:03] myseriels: and that i was all a diversion to lead the hero away from his house
[18:42:16] myseriels: for the hero's basement held a hidden adn mysterious object
[18:42:25] myseriels: that one of the values was not truly a valve
[18:42:37] myseriels: but it was the o-ring of courage
[18:42:38] kalendis: which if he doesn't defeat it it will mean the destruction of the world
[18:42:44] kalendis: rofl
[18:43:02] myseriels: and then the hero must confront the new owner of the ring of courage
[18:43:23] myseriels: as the hero is about to meet his/her demise, the evil friend reveals the history of the o-ring of courage
[18:43:24] kalendis: the mouse that uses it as the o-collar of courage?
[18:43:58] myseriels: and also divulges the existance of o-rings of power and wisdom
[18:44:19] myseriels: but before the evil can use it's monkey wrench on the hero in the conservatory
[18:44:29] myseriels: the mouse pushes a panel to reveal the secret passage to the library
[18:44:41] kalendis: lol
[18:45:06] myseriels: with in the library, the hero finds the candlestick of smiting
[18:45:58] myseriels: and concludes that it was the green professor in the conservatory who turned your sister into the mouse
[18:46:18] myseriels: that she was the one given the duty of protecting the mysterious ring
[18:46:19] kalendis: haha
[18:46:56] myseriels: upon revenging his/her sister, the hero retrieves the ring
[18:47:44] myseriels: and dreams of wearing the o-ring of courage and whether or not (s)he will seek the other o-rings out or if hidden danger hides behind the hidden bend in the sink
[18:48:16] myseriels: alas, the story must continue at another time for this narrarator must seek out adventures of his own...
[18:48:49] myseriels: new techniques to learn, bruises to mend and avoid, and challenging the mysteries of fire and it's applications
