A new Map Encounter
by Lord Arogandor Fri May 05, 2017 6:14 am
Dear Seekers,
Welcome to our second community contest of 2017!
In this contest we are looking to add new map encounters, that makes traveling over the map more fun and/or adventurous!
Map Encounters are small events that randomly appear while traveling. The usually do not take much time and exist mostly out of one maximum 3 decision that needs to be made by your character.
The winners of this contest will see their encounter(s) added in to the Realm and will be rewarded with a Grail Stamina Potion for their efforts. In addition the Seeker who wrote the best encounter will receive one Honour.
So help the realm and set that beautiful mind of yours to work.
Contest Rules:
- The contest runs until 31th of May.
- Seekers can send in multiple suggestions.
- Please do not post your suggestions here, but send them to Lord Arogandor instead.
- Sent your proposals to Lord Arogandor through in-game letters or forum messages.
- The encounter must have between one and maximum 3 decisions (player mouse clicks).
- Bonus points are added if (not obligatory) you provide your own self-made artwork for the encounter.
- The texts and/or dialogues must be short. one or 2 strong written sentences is preferred.
Thank you for your participation!
Below are two examples of already existing map encounters:
While traveling on the road you see a wandering cleric! He is willing to heal your wounds in exchange for one of your breads.
Option 1: - Give the Cleric a bread!
Option 2: - No thanks I\'m good!
Reaction on option 1:
Seeker get fully healed and loses 1 bread.
The Cleric lays his hands on your head and you feel his healing powers float through your body. Your wounds close quickly and you feel like reborn! As agreed you give the cleric one of your breads.
Reaction on option 2:
Seeker continues his/her travel.
The Cleric rubs his tummy and sighs while he continues his journey. And so can you...
A Bandit jumps in front of you and blocks your way! "There is a fee for free passage here! Give me 30 Bronze...or else..."
Option 1: - Pay the Bandit 30 Bronze!
Option 2: - Attack the Bandit!
Reaction on option 1: Seeker pays 30 bronze to the Bandit and can travel further.
Reaction on option 2: Seeker doesn't pay anything and gets involved in a fight.

While traveling on the road you see a wild dog that is folowing you from a far . When the road takes a turn you wait for it :
A - you can give the dog a piece of meat and you become friends - your morale is 20 points higher ( and/or he can travel with you for this trip and fight by your side )
B - you fight it .

Good one Hadrian.
I'd suggest you hide it though, so we can all get properly surprised when the thing happens for the first time

:
When?
- Trying to leave the town (on a horse) someone talks to you to help them go to x town
- While travelling (on a horse) encounter random people who needs help travelling to x town
(Why a horse? Because the horse can carry someone and more likely you won't.)
Help them?
- Require x extra stamina per tile travelling (untill you drop them off at that town)
- When dropping them off at the town recieve x money, a random quality item (present chances of recieving a reward?)
- Get extra or better chances to a more valuable reward when you feed them with x food (random choice by the game)
Ignore them?
- Lose honor/mood
- Added to a unfriendly list of that person (viewable list?)
- Every time you encounter them again lose x mood (or something else) but get the chance to help them
- If you do help them this time get crossed of the unfriendly list (if the list is viewable stay on the list but use "Wanjia" (so everyone knows you're not kind!)) but recieve no reward the first time only the second time
- A very small chance this random person is a "bad boy/girl" and chooses either
- Fight you alone
- Waits until he sees you again and fights you with friends (Maybe you'll be kind to a random person next time )

- Spoiler:
Stray Ranch Animal;
When:
Upon leaving a city through the gate, having used the travel button, or, upon arival to the city, after entering but before announcing... the character is outside of the town, but not on the map screen.
Event; a random farm animal is chosen (Chicken, Cow, Horse, Pig, Sheep) of random age
"You see a stray (random animal) wandering along the road. Looking around, you don't see anybody."
"Do you ignore, slaughter, or try to catch the (random animal)?
Action:
Option 1- Ignore;
Shortly after, a farmer runs breathlessly towards you.
He asks "Did you see a (random animal) headed this way?"
You reply, "Yes, just around the turn in the road!"
"Thanks!" Yells back the farmer as he hurries off.
Option 2 - Slaughter:
You require a butcher knife and 25 stamina to perform this task.
[standard slaughter action occurs if conditions are met]
Result 1 - Nobody appears and you carry off the meat/poultry.
Result 2 - A farmer appears, and demands the meat/poultry. You can either hand over the meat, or fight the farmer. [Similar set up as per the first Grail Monastery quest. The farmer is the thug from that quest.]
Option 3 - Catch:
Your base chance to catch the (random animal) is the total of;
Animal attitude;
Luck;
Agility;
Strength;
Speed;
Base Chance of Success= [sum of skills]
By adding stamina you can raise your chance of success. How much stamina would you like to add? [similar to adding stamina to hunting, can use up to an amount totalling 100]
Your total chance of succes is [sum of skills + stamina spend]
Fail result: After running around chasing the animal with no success, you collapse exhausted, and decide it really isn't worth the effort after all.
Success result: Congratulations! You caught the (random animal)! You added 0.1 to your (random animal) animal attitude skill!
result option 1 - Nobody appears to notice that you caught the animal, and you proceed on your way.
result option 2 - A farmer hurries up to you, "Thankyou very much for capturing my (random animal)! Here is a reward for your effort." He hands you [1/2 town price to purchase animal], and happily takes his animal back to the ranch.
Optional:
This event could also occur randomly (extremely rarely) when tending to fields or ranch animals.

- Dwarven Miner Encounter:
On your merry way to your destination, Durul the Dwarf, 8th generation Iron mine Foreman, hails you from a stand by the road. He wants to know if you want to join the Dwarven Iron Miners' Union. You don't even need to be a dwarf, only have a beard! (A fake beard even is good enough!)
Option 1: You gladly accept, paying the fee of 50 bronze. We miners must stand together and claim our rights!
Option 2: You tell him what you think of medieval, communistic unions, and how you despise smelly iron mining dwarfs with dirty beards!
Reaction on option 1:
Seeker is now a full member of the Dwarven Iron Miners' Union. You lose 50 % less health in the Iron Mine for the next 7 days! (Aro: If this is hard to implement, let it instead say: You gain 0.5 Mining skill! On subsequent encounters with Durul, the Seeker gain 0.25 Mining skill for continuing membership!)
Durul the Dwarven Foreman gives you a wide smile. You notice two of his teeth are made of pure ruby, and make a note of paying better attention to the ore next time you're mining, so you may also be able to replace some of your own rotting chewing devices. "A wise choice, fellow miner! Let me teach you a thing or two about the iron mines before you continue your travel!"
Reaction on option 2:
Seeker loses 5 life. Traveling during the next 3 days costs +1 stamina per move!
Durul's face turns red, then redder, then some sort of purlpe. His right hand is reaching for a massive iron pickaxe by the stand, his left has picked up a fierce speed and is heading for your throat. Oh, and there's black smoke coming out of his ears! And then a sudden pain where your pinky toe used to be... "May you drown in iron slag, may every pickaxe you come near fly off it's shaft and hit you in the head, you "#¤%%& (censored, strong dwarven language!)"

The encounter contest has now officially ended!
We received more then 60 suggestions that will make traveling in the Realm much more interesting! Not only the amount of received suggestions, but also quality of the encounters is more then we hoped for! The originally and the humor of some suggestions are simply amazing!
Due to the huge success, we will add the encounters one by one and reward the writers with a Grail Stamina Potion the moment the encounter becomes active. Some of the suggestions will not be added as a repeatable encounter but as a mini-quest instead. Those mini-quests will appear in the Quest Book of the Seeker. The order in which encounters get added have nothing to do with their quality or chance of winning, so don't be alarmed if you didn't receive your prize while others did.
We will not make the added encounters public as this spoils the fun of discovering them by yourself. Only when all the winning encounters got added, the best encounter will be publicly announced and the creator will be rewarded with honour.
