Story Skeleton - Earth

EARTH - 2nd or 3rd World Encounter

Story Skeleton

Beginning
• Heroine is teleported into this world, where the earth element is held
• Earth element is held in a vial which the heroine must find
• Upon arrival, character is alone for about two minutes as she gathers her bearings in the area
• Conversation can be something like, "I thought the Earth was meant to be a light environment, but it is so dark here”
• After the two minutes have passed, the heroine is beset by drows who attack her. She fights back and eventually overcomes them.
• The light and air is instantly lighter (also music).
• Elves and Half Elves appear who had previously been in hiding
• They offer to assist the heroine as gratitude for her assistance in defeating the drows who had been terrorising them.

Middle
• The elves tell her that as the earth elements contains sand from Egypt, that she will have to overcome the undead Mummies to get to it
• Heroine has to overcome challenges such as
o meet a lion, tiger and bear where she must collect information or fight to the death.
o She has to fight a further enclave of drows (can be dropped if there are time limitations
o Has to defeat or collect information from a bad elf, aranea, halfling, revenant, troll - and when she either beats them or gets the information required, she has beaten all the creatures that spell out EARTH.
o In the mausoleum where the earth vial is kept, the heroine must overcome members of the undead including mummies, skeletons, ghouls and shadows. Her skills have improved considerably since the first stage, but she still has to fight quite hard to win.

Ending
• Heroine farewells the elves. They give her a special gift (a knife? a sword?) as well as some advice on how to win the final element.
• Also give her words of warning about what is happening to her mentor and.

Just a random thought... what if Isis could choose between helping the drow or helping the elves? Oooh, possibilities!
