[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1119, member: 118"] Old note pasted in... Shadykin's Golden Dome, which our heroes are now stuck within, was originally a paradise retreat and magical experiment of sorts. While the players found the previous encounter with all the friendly talking animals to be very Disney'ish, the descent into the Pit (of Certain Unpleasantness) was more like going into a dark Lewis Carroll world. The creatures were warped and dangerous imitations of reality. This was all to help represent how the reality of the sphere grew more and more twisted the closer they got to the faulty mechanism controlling the artificial world. I had fun concocting each encounter. The next little bit they faced was a departure from twisted animals to twisted plants. They had a particular dislike for the bowl-shaped field of sunflowers. This was liberally borrowed from the Ringworld series...those who've read it will know immediately what I'm talking about. While I was fond of the floating jellyfish and flying piranha combo, I think the encounter at the very center of the sphere was my favorite. Hang in there, it's not much further. -Rybaer [/QUOTE]
