The Three Missions expounded apon in this particular lumbering
waltz-limp are as follows:
Snatch And Grab - Old Comrades, Old Debts - Lord Alan's Basement
(again in three parts for easy consumption)
3 -> Lord Alan's Basement (AKA Basement2)
By Andrea Aleotti
The Macroscope:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A "Basement" - Bigger - more complex - more beautiful and MUCH
more to offer than most maps.
The Blow-By-Blow:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey, a basement is just a basement, right?? - *BUZZZ* - Wrong. - A
misleading title for an immensely variant and colorful map. Although
just a little convoluted in pathways this map offers everything from
the tight dark and damp to the grandiose and breath taking - and well
covering everything in between. You will get wet - you will get claus-
tophobic and acrophobic. - You'll be mixed and perplexed - mazed in
and phased out - but all the while you'll be enjoying it because the
change of mood and atmosphere is so frequent that you'll recognize
the rhythm - and know that there will likely be an unusual sup rise
just around the next corner.
You have a moment's reprise at the very start to enjoy the serene
calmness of a garden at night before taking the plunge into adventure.
Despite a few 'Oh-No' traps consisting of narrow vertical shafts
that won't kill you - only trap you - This map is consistently enter-
taining all the way through - Not enough guards for some players, but
suspense is there nonetheless and it is manifested in many enjoyable
forms.
I completed this one in about 2 hrs 40 mins, but sadly couldn't
locate the two secondary (optional) objectives. - Well worthy of a
second run-through when I have more time.
Summation:
~~~~~~~~~
Extremely well constructed detailed and atmospheric and more than
enough to keep you intrigued throughout. - I recommend this one very
highly - Variety is the spice - and this one has it in spades.
Thanks to the builder who put a massive amount of work into this
to bring us a multi faceted adventure on a grand scale. - All My Best
