The entrance code is "Ravnica" (excluding the inverted commas) 1) The Bone Gate - Azorius (Mannaric), Orzhov (Revan) 2) The Ebony Gate - Rakdos (Zefen Ga Fitzbyr), Golgari (Asyphixius Poisonim) 3) The Ivy Gate - Gruul (Manelau ReTimm), Simic (Aquanette Evenestra) 4) The Midnight Gate - Dimir (Raevelle Aisling Ghornal), Izzet (Zyreli Zyherst) 5) The Coral Gate - Rakdos (Avali Hans Smythe), Boros (Tumeric Baharat) 6) The Ivory Gate - Selesnya (Darryon Pippalook), Boros ( ) 7) The Obsidian Gate - Orzhov (Nefarias Mora), Dimir (Frost Lorelyne) 8 ) The Moss Gate - Golgari (Nachtan Telomon Bias), Selesnya (Tane Mahuta Selesnya) 9) The Sky Gate - Azorius (Iwanacio Flass), Simic (Lysander Simic) 10) The Rust Gate - Izzet (Sibylla Rathbone), Gruul (Mirgajan Gedoraws) 11) The Snow Gate - Guildless (Severan Calerus Torin), Guildless (Trykster Rivelle) The colour of the Gate name shows into what sector type it enters. The Maze is primarily circular on the outside, so the Gates go around it in a clock-like fashion. The sequence of the sectors are as follows (White, Black, Green, Blue, Red, White, Black, Green, Blue, Red, White) Okay, on to the mana types and Maze sectors. White - This type of sector is very misleading. It would use light as a weapon against you, and will have many light-centered traps (like the floor would have a pattern of deadly light, etc) This sector also likes putting the Champions at ease before catching them unawares (thus, it will look safe and quiet just before a monster jumps at you from seemingly nowhere) Blue - This type of sector focuses on water and the mind. Many of the passages will be partially flooded or have some form of water present, usually filled with water-related beasts. This sector also likes playing with your head, using your senses (like hearing, sight, etc) to confuse, bewilder and make you panic, and the beasts in this type of sector also tends to be more intelligent then the other sectors'... Black - This type of sector plays with one thing: fear. Filled with many confusing turns and severely dark passages (very little light), this sector's beasts toy with you, breaking you down mentally and emotionally before striking. It is also filled with spirits, who tend to play on your emotions (calling out to you in familiar voices, etc) Red - This type of sector is the most aggressive. It is filled with fire and heat-related traps, and has violent, blood-thirsty beasts with one agenda: to kill Champions. Green - This type of sector is filled with plantlife. The walls and passages are overgrown with vines, brambles and other manner of plants, all usually trying to secretly catch and kill Champions. The traps and puzzles usually involve overcoming fears or desires to get through them. The beasts in this sector are wild, but still have a manner of intelligence. They are extremely sneaky and use the plants, passages and natural camouflage to trick Champions. The following spoiler will contain the information stating how any buffs or penalties influence each Champion (I will continuously update this list depending on the items/passives/etc you purchase) - Aquanette - *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: No penalty or buff *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Asphyxius : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: No penalty or buff *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Avali : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: No penalty or buff *Red sectors: No penalty or buff *Green sectors: -20 penalty - Cactus Jack : *White sectors: No penalty or buff *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Darry : *White sectors: No penalty or buff *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Frost : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: No penalty or buff *Black sectors: No penalty or buff *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: -20 penalty - Lysander : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: No penalty or buff *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Manelau : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: No penalty or buff *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Mannaric : *White sectors: No penalty or buff *Blue sectors: No penalty or buff *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: -20 penalty - Mira : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: No penalty or buff *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Nacht : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: No penalty or buff *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Nef : *White sectors: No penalty or buff *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: No penalty or buff *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: -20 penalty - Revan : *White sectors: No penalty or buff *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: No penalty or buff *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: -20 penalty - Shade : *White sectors: No penalty or buff *Blue sectors: No penalty or buff *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: -20 penalty - Sibylla : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: No penalty or buff *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: No penalty or buff *Green sectors: -20 penalty - Tryk : *White sectors: No penalty or buff *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: -20 penalty *Red sectors: -20 penalty *Green sectors: No penalty or buff - Zefen : *White sectors: -20 penalty *Blue sectors: -20 penalty *Black sectors: No penalty or buff *Red sectors: No penalty or buff *Green sectors: -20 penalty

@Chaser and @LordZeus, since you each have one of the Guildless, I shall need to discuss with you how the Maze chooses you (@AstralHunter, I'll also discuss this with you...)

If possible, please get me on IM or in the Lounge's buddy room (aka the Cloakroom) between 11am-3pm GMT (I made it the Standard Time to help you work out when it works best for you)

I would've PMed, but I want to discuss it, not instruct it...

Thanks, @TheClockworkConjurer, it helped a great deal. I have an idea for a character now ^^

I have some unclear stuff regarding your post in the Storybook Badges thread. Could you please explain some of the instructions? This is my second Storybook, and the first one I'm really committing to (Since for the first one I didn't plan my time accordingly, but now I know better.)

How do the points work, what is their purpose?

How will we know what the guild leaders would say if we were to contact them? What are their motivations, and their personal opinions about their champions?

Sorry that my questions are a bit dumb, but I think it's better to ask them than to write something that is not as good or as acceptable as it could be.

In the traditional sense, once you gain gain a certain amount of credits, you receive a SB badge (almost like review stars, just with SBs) Like @AstralHunter has 17 credits, and has the Apprentice badge, etc

However, instead of going the Lumi way of using the credits in SBs, I will simply see the points now as part of the SB, and that you should be able to aid or guide you as SBer during the SB... (ex, you're in a desert and thirsty, but because you have 7 "points" you accumulated via challenges, you meet some friendly nomads, etc)

But do not fret, I shall explain the pointing in detail once at Trial 4 (thus 18 left) I have worked it out well, so I hope it works ...

Seventeen? It's twenty-seven, and I have the Peridot shield, thank you very much. Humph.

@CandyWizard, the credits are a lot like review stars, as TCC said. We just like to add an incentive by using the credits for general SBing purposes. (Be glad TCC is the one hosting this SB, since my use of the credita is quite complicated.

)

I have a little question: Can we write our first post and then post it for our character(s)? If not, it is okay! Just want to plan ahead and write it.

@Deskro, you can submit the posts independently of each other. Besides, if one of our characters dies, then we can only write for one. I'd say submit a post as soon as you finish it.

@TheClockworkConjurer, what's the rule on double-posting? Aye or nay?

@AstralHunter Are we going to have another vote?

Also, worry not, I'll create that second character today, so that you can cross off another reserved spot. ^^

Double posting does not apply when the two posts are out of different character perspectives, so that is allowed.
However, posting twice with the same character is highly prohibited and may lead to elimination...

Another little question: For writing, is it in past or present tense? I was thinking past but I am not sure.

Please, if possible, try and be both in past tense and third person... I shan't, however, be angry if you go first person.
But please, past tense...

The rules have been updated to reflect the creator's most recent wishes.

@Bambi, your character page looks good, I just need @TheClockworkConjurer to comment on the use of modern firearms. (It could quite possibly be allowed, I'm just not sure...) Speaking of those, you mention the pistols and shotgun in Lila's appearance, but not in her skills. Oh, and you accidentally submitted the CP twice, so I just deleted the second one.

But I didn't know Harry Potter was born in Ravnica...

WHAT? PISTOLS AND SHOTGUNS? Those sound awesome, why didn't I think of that...
Oh, and @TheClockworkConjurer when can you be online to talk about my character's summoning? I'm sorry but I was busy today, and I'm just doing this before I go to bed.
