Just some basic ideas but goes like this!
On your travels you meet a stranger who is willing to sell you a map leading to a unique item! The item lays in the middle of a giant spiders web guarded by the (widow of the web)a grotty old hag, she is the quardian of the unique item(more on this item and the old hag later),once you enter the cave containing the web you have a set time to negoite the web to the middle(if your time runs out you automaticly start at the beginning again)once there you have the chance to talk and negoite for the item with the widow but is she really who she says she is ? :?

this sounds like a fun idea!

(the timer would could be a pain to program though)
but... then again, you never know?

:lol:

i have been itching to introduce more "puzzles" into the game!

:shock:

if you set up a google+ page, i can make a Doc & give you access...
we can work on it on the fly without needing other outside means of communication.

plus, google+ DESTROYS all other social networking media (imho)

:twisted:

Very easy to write code for this. In fact, I would be shocked if Java didn't have a framework class for a timer. I know .NET does. 8-)

As a totally non-programer type, it seems to me that since there are already a number of timers running in the game, the timer part would be simple. Would it
be the moving back to the start that would be hard?
I like the sound of this quest!

Resetting the player position sounds strange to me. Maybe the player will be attacked by spiders guarding the maze after some time?
