[Group Quest] - Lost in Chaos

[j_dean80]

I created a new group quest. An idea came to mind that seemed fun, so I ran with it. This is not a quest for beginners. They would be a little too frightened. Requires extra undead monsters (RotWL). Requires extra doors. Total doors required: 28 regular doors, 3 exit doors, and 1 entrance door).

Please let me know how it goes. I appreciate feedback.

Can a Hero still open a magical door from the 'wrong' side, even though he/she won't be able to step through it?

No, they only open from one side.

One way magic doors. Well done sir!

I also like the falling rock trap which would separate the heroes.

Thanks. I try to come up with "fresh" ideas. I like the part that the Heroes can easily miss out on completing their objective if they choose the wrong doors. Makes a quest last more than just one time playing.

Downloaded this and played it last night with my group. However they would have been outraged if the quest became impossible, just because they chose the wrong door. I felt I had no option but to make the doors magic only if they were closed. So in the end, this played out much like a run-of-the-mill quest. I really like the idea of one-way doors and separating heroes, but surely this could be incorporated in a way that doesn't render a quest impossible to finish. I would also like to see Tarzok have more body points.

If it wasn't played as written it would play pretty boring.

I never said 'boring'. I just don't think it is going to sit well with too many players, if they can't complete a quest just because they have gone through the wrong door. If you think about it, sending them back to restart the quest (as you suggest) isn't any different from them retreating from the dead-end to the start. All you are doing is letting them replenish their BP and making life easy for them. Just giving you my honest feedback, which is what I thought you wanted. We had a good game though; thank you for taking the time to make quests

Yes, always appreciate feedback.

"If the Heroes go through an exit door before Tarzok has been defeated, the Heroes re-appear through the start door."

Yes, always appreciate feedback.

Yes, that would be a good idea. The quest doesn't state this. Was that always the intention? That way, a separated hero can reunite with their comrades, albeit they will still face a very dicey situation. I would add one or two more chances of separation, to up the odds of this happening. There is currently only one falling block that could separate a hero.
