Crane's 50th arc

Thirty Thousand Seconds [ID: 64072] L44-50

Trapped in a psychic cage by a powerful villain, you assume the identity of the legendary Aristotle Frost, navigating your way through the last hours leading to his tragic fall.

 

No notes or spoilers or anything for this one. 

Not the usual noir, or intricate semi-real world intrigue. But (perhaps) a veil of tears -- in 4 parts.:-)

It's intended to be soloed.  Hope you like it. (and, uh...lemme know what typos I have THIS time).:-)

 

Thanks for the support,

Crane

It was well written, and I enjoyed it.

 

I wasn't scanning for typos, so I only noticed one error: in the second mission, you appear to have accidentally used the $name function on the Knives of Artemis boss's dialog at the end. At least I assume it was a mistake; due to the nature of the arc, all other dialog is addressed to Frost. Specifically: 'Agent Branch: [Player name]! How did YOU get in here?'

 

The only problem I had gameplay-wise was in the final mission, when Archon Mesmer's minion spawned 90 feet away from him. He was out of sight and in the middle of another mob, so it took a while to hunt him down to complete the mission. Probably just bad luck with spawn locations (not much you can do about that on open maps), but changing Mesmer's completion to 'boss only' might circumvent the issue.

Shoot. I thought Mesmer was boss only. Definitely need to fix that.

 

I'll check the $name function. I did notice that, but thought maybe it was just a glitch. I'll put it on the list to fix..

 

Thanks much!

Changed Mesmer to Boss Only.

 

Removed $name tag from Knives boss.
