Gladiatrix II: In the Shadows of Darkness - Week 9 Update

Beta disguises Sierra as a mage in order to investigate the Magalia Mage Academy. She also supplies her with an amulet that is charged with the necessary spells to make a convincing infiltration.

Module Progress:
  • I changed the name of the mage academy. I didn't like the name I originally had
  • Still working on finishing up the Nova's Cape region
  • This segment of the module is taking a bit longer than I had thought. I thought I'd be ready for beta testing this section by now, but I still have a bit of work to do. Thanks for being patient everyone. I think the module will be better in the long run with the extra time spent.

Gladiatrix II: In the Shadows of Darkness - Week 8 Update

In the village of Edgeland, the last remaining villager pleads with you. His wife died three nights ago and he buried her. Since then, he is haunted by her screams and moans each night.
 
 Hideous undead plague the Badlands.
 
Module Progress:
  • Currently working on the Badlands.
  • Still have the Magular Mage Academy quest to do. When that is done then the Nova's Cape section of the module will be complete.

Gladiatrix II: In the Shadows of Darkness - Week 7 Update

Welcome to the Temple of the Wayward Heart. Few of Nova's Cape citizens visit the temple as most of the population is content living in sin and iniquity. Priestess Emmalynn of the goddess LeLune needs your help. There is an outbreak of undead activity in the Badlands and if it goes unchecked it could threaten Nova's Cape.

Module Progress: 
  • I spent most of the week tying up some loose ends in Nova's Cape. 
  • Ugh, I also wasted two days trying to build a roulette script for the casino that ended up not working at all. Apparently there are system delays when you have a random 'Text Appears When' Script on 37 conversation entries. You would make a fortune if you kept betting Green 0 because it was coming up about 25% of the time! I ended up having to scrap my script but luckily I found a decent roulette script on the vault that I was able to tweak.
  • I have two major areas left to do that are in connection with Nova's Cape - the Badlands and the Magular Mage School. When those are done then the Nova's Cape section of the module will be complete and ready to be beta tested. So it will probably be a couple more weeks before I finish those.

Gladiatrix II: In the Shadows of Darkness - Week 6 Update

Sierra is in disguise stalking the streets late at night to complete one of Felonious's dark tasks.

 Welcome to the Lounge of Forbidden Delights. If you have enough coin, you can engage in a high-stakes game of Knaves and Royals. Or you could try your luck at Roulette. The lounge also has a gentlemen's club and a 'lady's only' wing for those who choose to indulge their appetites beyond gambling.

Module Progress:
  • Finishing up quests and encounters centered around Nova's Cape.
  • When the Nova's Cape portion of the module is complete, I'll be opening this section of the module for beta testing. Hopefully just a couple more weeks.

Gladiatrix II: In the Shadows of Darkness - Week 5 Update

There are many temptations in Nova's Cape and some lead to darkness. Felonious Hull offers you a path to great reward, but it comes at a price. To prove yourself, your first assignment is to kill a cat and bring back its body. Each assignment gets progressively darker but offers greater reward. Will you choose to take this dark path?

Module Progress:
  • I didn't get as much accomplished this week as I had hoped. I got stuck on a few scripts that wouldn't cooperate with me, but things are back to a good pace now. 
  • Currently building quests centered around Nova's Cape.
