Highway To Hell Story Interest Check

[Carmelita]

Hi All!

I've got OM to burn, and an idea that won't go away. If I made a Base in the Ashen Steppes with a Teleporter to the Underverse (1500 OM total), a literal highway to hell that appears out of nowhere, who'd be interested in going to investigate? Also, will I get stomped with a Modhammer if I try?

Why would any mods be upset with that?

So long as you remember not to make the demons in the Underverse underpowered and so long as you know that you can't get back out without completing one of the escape quests, no one will have anything to complain about.

I mean, you could. But remember...

Teleporter – 500 OM per

Teleporters may be used to send you from your base to any Verse except the Oververse or the Void. The actual location in the Verse is somewhat random. Each teleporter you purchase may only send you to one Verse, specified when you make the purchase. May not be purchased for Underverse bases. 

Recall Station – 1000 OM (requires Communicator in order to use)

With a recall station, you don't have to travel halfway around the world to get back to your base. As long as you've synced with the recall station once in person, you can simply get in touch via your Communicator and be warped back home. This can also be used to send items that you cannot carry (such as artefacts won in a fight). It takes ten minutes for the recall-station to lock-on to your co-ordinates, and if you move around then the timer is reset. This means that recalling during a fight is effectively impossible, unless you manage to stay in the same place for ten minutes. You cannot recall from the Underverse. 

It will only be one way. So, it's no more than an elaborate way to banish yourself - and you're not gonna get demons appearing on your side.

Also, a highway might not be fitting, since you end up in a 'random' location in the verse you teleport to each time. (Unless there's a portal at the end of the highway, or if you travel far enough down it you just 'poof' and appear in the Underverse).

I guess if someone really wanted to get banished, but didn't wanna buy a circle, I can see them going.

I bet Cermelita's trying to bait us into going through the teleporter to send us all to the Underverse so there is less resistance while she takes over the Omniverse keptic:

*sends 10 primes into the underverse*
Welp, they'll stay in there long enough for me to take over the omniverse :derp:

[Carmelita]

The point of the thing would be bandits/cultists/ne'er-do-wells have found a mysterious highway in the Ashen Steppes and are vanishing people into it. The more they do so, the more demonic their appearance becomes. Primes/secondaries investigate.

How would this benefit the rest of us in any way?
I mean if you’re paying I’ll at least hear your plan out.

I'd gather that they want to run a fun plot lead. So... you'd get a participation bonus I guess (and writing quality bonuses if you qualify). And get to write with people.

You'd also have to escape from the Underverse, which is a baseline requirement for having a top tier Prime.


*cough*

What he said.

I'd also like to point out there would be no requirement to actually go through the teleporter.
