AI and Opponents

What enemies/opponents will the player face? What characters will they interact with?
What will be the role, purpose and function of these entities?


Air World

Characters/Enemies

• Watch Guard – he attempts to discourage Isis into walking around the fog, especially during the night. Mentions that some children have gone missing and the roads aren’t safe. He gives her a protection spell, and asks to keep an eye out for the three missing children
• Three children - Isis interacts with the individual children initially by answering riddles to pass them. Then decides whether to kill them or return them to their families in the village.
• Villagers – Isis will interact with these characters, when and if she returns the children to the village.
• Low-grade enemies – throughout the level, Isis will encounter several low-grade enemies and will have to fight and destroy them to prevent them from killing her.


Earth World

Characters/Enemies

• Drows – these monsters are the first enemies you meet in the level, they must be killed. The drows have been terrorising the elves.
• Elves and Half Elves – the elves appear out of hiding once the drows have been destroyed. Because of your assistance they extend their gratitude by assisting Isis in her quest. This comes in the form of information about the Earth element and gifts that will help them later on in the game.
• Mummies – are the enemies that you have to destroy to retrieve the Earth Element. The earth element is a vial of sand from Egypt, which the mummies guard.

Water World

Characters/Enemies

• Guard – the guard of the underground cave is the first character Isis interacts with in the Water World. This character gives Isis information about the level, as a result of answering his questions. He will then grant her access to the caves by unlocking the door.
• Low grade monsters – scattered throughout the maze of tunnels there are low-grade monsters that you encounter, you must kill them to survive and continue along the path.
• Lone character/creature – somewhere in the tunnels of the maze, you may come across a lone character/creature if you choose to interact with them, they will give you a vital object that you will use later in the level. If you do not talk to the character, you will no receive the object and thus will be unable to complete a task in the level without it.
• The Keeper – the keeper looks after and guards the bridge to the boss stage, the island where the element resides. You interact with the keeper by giving him and object you have found/given in the maze. If you don’t have it, you have to go back into the maze to find the object and return it to the keeper before you are giving access across the bridge.
• Elemental Water Demon – is the boss enemy of the level. Isis encounters the demon at the end of the level before she can retrieve the water element. She must beat and destroy the demon before she can progress in the game.


Fire World

Characters/Enemies

• Demon – the demon is the boss of the level, therefore is considered an enemy. Isis has to defeat the character at the end of the level in order to get the final element.
• Villagers – the villagers in this level are mainly for show, therefore they don’t all interact with the heroine. Their behaviour will give you a general idea on whether or not you are welcomed in their village.
• Guard – the guard watches over the little town, he is one of the main non-player characters you interact with. He will be wary of Isis, but if he deems her friendly, he will approach her first.
• Wiseman - is the second character you will encounter and interact with in detail with. The purpose of this character is to inform Isis of what is currently occurring in the world.
