Some of the planning on Adyna the Harlequin
Ancient Spellbook
Homecoming ApocalypseMany lives were spent during the war erasing Him from memory; desecrating His name and burning the remnants.
Stories from the time before Guthix speak of an Age of Darkness and that a matrix that was constructed to conceal the shadows; to imprison them and the filth that dwelt within. Though the matrix has remained sealed since, the feuding lords would not risk otherwise. And so efforts were made to conceal the matrix and prevent the empty rising. Keys scattered. Locks disguised. The shadows would forever be His prison.
But more than the likes of the light dwell within the unblinking darkness.
Each guardian within the quest is to be treated as a miniquest in itself, not merely a task within a quest. Storylines and such may be miniquest specific. Such as Malak, the creature you fight my not actually be the Guardian; combat isn't even necessary, as with Raunton.

Rambling;
- Spoiler:
- The miniquests as a whole make up six chapters; the conclusion to Desert Treasure, the four beacons, and an ultimatum.
In each of the four beacon chapters there will be a particularly difficult boss and a legendary item (and, possibly, a curse spell - but they may just all be unlocked at the end).
Thorg's Axe, melee weapon.
Robert's Strongbow, ranged weapon.
Dragonhead Gauntlets, multi-class weapon (lol, the guantless aren't armour).
So, do we have armour? Or a magic weapon? Magic does kinda have the whole spellbook... the only other thing left really is prayer, defence and summoning.
I mean, we could have several new familiars based on the enemies... sandworms ftw? So they're covered. We could make the beacons recharge prayer with a 50% boost (since they were originally an entrance to the gods' guild, we might as well still make them godly). All that's really left now is defence. But which class? Maybe Magic, since Melee and Ranged have god-armour for the old gods; "Ancient Robes", to match the Ancient Staff. That way, it's magic and defence! And I think the difficulty of this quest matches the difficulty to obtain Bandos' and Armadyl's... kinda.
The Dragonhead Guantlets is two-handed weapon. Their design is of two Dragonheads... only of dragons more similar to Draco from Dragonheart (the film; the shape is less slender/snake-like... and more bulky). These would be like huge caricature fists! The melee attack is obvious; the ranged attack has it spit ash; and the magic attack fires small bursts of dragonfire (basically a more yellow fire blast/wave).Requires level 70-90 in all classes, and is like the Salamander (only better).
Fog Robes (Magic and Defense, Fog Guardian)
Dragonhead Gauntlets (universal weapon, Ash Guardian)
Thorg's Axe (melee weapon, Lightning Guardian)
Robert's Strongbow (ranged weapon, Gust Guardian)
Spells... all of them (magic weapon, All Guardians)
Familiars, a few new ones. (summoning, Specific Guardians)
Prayer boost at beacons (prayer, Quest Completion)
Some of the planning on Adyna the Harlequin
- Spoiler:
- She could create a duplicate version of Brimhaven dungeon, only, magical. And instead of chase the ticket, chase Adyna.
Then a chamber of mirrors, only the reflections in the mirrors are somewhat alive. In that, if you try to walk through, ouch! Even if the reflection is of you! The reflections should also beckon you, like; "Here, come this way!"
The final fight would be direct, only, as well as any other attacks, she'll make use of the Illusory curse. She will only use it periodically, but it has a somewhat altered effect to that which players will be able to use. When Adyna uses Illusory, she stops attacking. All her duplicates will swarm you, like in usual multi-combat, including Adyna, all appearing to be attacking you... but you'll receive no damage. If coding must, you'll have loads of 0 splashes, else, it'd be invisible nothing (this is so it's still treated as combat). When you select one of the replicas, or the real, as a target, it will retaliate and do real damage. If you choose the real Adyna, all replicas disappear, if not, only that copy does. The spell wears off itself after about 30 seconds.
With the player version of the spell, the replicas are incapable of damage entirely. If you attack a clone, it vanishes, wasting the attack (since RuneScape uses a turn-based combat system). The user of the illusory spell can either peg it, or stay and fight. Now normally, the highest hitting target attracts the auto-retaliate feature; so you'd pick out the caster if he stayed. However, Illusory's fake attacks trick the system into thinking they are all hitting random high-damage (though
you'll lose no health). So your player would randomly shift around attacking random ones, never the caster.
Ancient Spellbook
- Spoiler:
You may only have two of the four chapters open at any one time. When
you pray at ones respective altar, you will be given the choice as to
which you wish to replace. The teleports and curses are open exempt to
any chapter, though the curses are PVP only (excluding Castle Wars and
Duel Arena).

Segment one contains the battle spells.
Segment two contains the teleportation spells.
Segment three contains the curse spells. PVP only (not PVP-world only, there's a difference).
You can reposition a segment by dragging it's divider bar (up or down).
X1 orders the spells by element.
X2 orders the spells by level.
All five chapters are graded between 1 and 5; and when the player chooses their chapters, the spells will be alternated, such as; Smoke, Ash, Shadow, Sand, Blood, Stone, Ice, Bone, etc. Aside from spells in the lowest and highest grade, all spells would have two possible levels (depending on which chapter they are paired with).

Perhaps these could be used as inspiration for the new ancient spells.One description I read (written by a Fremennik who knew not what he was actually witnessing), referred to the skies "dripping with venom and fire" and the ground "twisting into grotesque forms with mouths that chewed at the roots of trees that bled".

Seriously, I never said you had to cut anything, all I said was that you could put all this in the path of obtaining the diamond. Rather than obtaining the diamond then being forced into a great puzzle - have the puzzle part of the challenge to get there. You never gave a reason why the puzzle even exists, even after I asked. I even said right before you ragequitted that "Magic may be protecting it"... I was working with you. But you never gave any reason. You just had "You take the diamond and suddenly you're teleblocked for no apparent reason".
Then you tell me there is a guardian - well I'm sorry I didn't realise you'd changed that. If I was aware from the start it might've been easier to talk to you about the whole thing. But I was arguing with you because I thought that mud was still what it was, but you were writing for something else. I don't object mud actually being a guardian, all I said was that it would've been nice to know.

Lol, Adyna already has an awful lot - you sure you don't wanna take something a little less completed? I think she's the Mind Guardian now, rather than Psyche.

We never gave them one. Does Thorg currently use any? Urgh - stuns the target and inflicts static damage that hits at double the rate of poison, but half the damage? *shrugs*
Static, Thorn and two others are newer than the other new ones.
Edit - Ah yes, Venom and Gust.

< I need to improve the yawn one.

"We never gave them any."
Y'whhhaaAAAAATT?
How about a shock status? The victim takes more damage from hits depending on how much metal their wearing? (metal + electricity + person inside the said metal =
)

Okay...here are my personal ideas for thrip
Thrip the tormented one: Long ago a necromancer's spell went horribly wrong...trapped by a horde of dreadful banshees he had unwittingly summoned and warped by the horrible magic he unleashed he became a creature vast and dreadful that cannot be described, he was tormented for centuries by 7 horrid banshees known as the forgotten ones, no one knows the exact circumstances but at some point he released magic he had gathered over the years in one horrifying scream that drove back even the banshees...he then ran and hid in the fogs of the mort myre...
The Forgotten Ones: In order to even have thrip come out of his powerful cloaking spells you must hunt down and kill the 7 forgotten ones who roam the swamps searching for Him
Aesys: A powerful magic user...she has low hitpoints but has an attack similar to the spirit beasts splashing attack and is hugely powerful
Aeyen: Her scream penetrates even earmuffs draining your stats. she also has high defence.
Aelid: She fires ice arrows from her bow that are a combination of magic and range...they can freeze you and poison you
Aeyes: A deadly foe...she has three different attacks each representing a side of the combat triangle...a Mage-Melee combo, A Mage-Range combo, and a Melee Range combo...all of which are long ranged...and can hit up to 40 (20 w/ one of the protections on)
Aesan: Can switch between mage and melee and attacks at a tremendous speed...can hit up to 15 with any attack
Aedel:Hits up to 30 and prayer is innefective...uses slayer dart and shadow spells
Aezos: Can summon up to 7 banshee mages/rangers and is hersefl a proficient meleer...
Once they have all been defeated you may go to a certain location and thrip will thank you...when you ask for the diamond he will laugh and attack you
Thrip can scream (earmuffs) send a noxious fog (nosepeg) and send a choking fog (facemask)
More importantly he stays directly at the edge of where it is possible to see and can never be made to be any closer...the only way to attack him is to speak to frumscone who will show you a way to far extend to reach of slayer dart...The clue to this is that whilst fighting he will say the following
Only one has even touched me...
I will give you his name...maybe
For RUnescape!
My SCONEs!
