What happens next...?
-
The adventurer entered a dark room. He could not see anything and was unsure what to do. Then a voice could be heard in his head.
Treguard: Remember the advice that brother Strange had given you adventurer
The adventurer thought back and remembered that the lamp would be needed sooner than he thought. Of course, he had not thought of it and it was needed now. The adventurer held up the magic lamp and the room became brighter and he could see what was ahead of him, it was causeway. The only block in front of him was a yellow block so he stepped on this block. He now had a choice of Red or Blue. He thought back to what Marta had said and she mentioned that the combination was Red-Blue-Yellow and kept looping. Therefore the next in sequence was Red. He stepped onto the red square and he saw the yellow square now behind him and the blue square next to him disappear. The adventurer breathed a sigh of relief and then had the choice of blue or yellow. He stepped on the blue and saw the red behind him and the yellow next to him disappear. He now had the choice of yellow or red. As now on the blue he chose the yellow step and saw the blue he was on and the red next to him disappear. The final choice threw him completely though, green or purple. * “Which step to choose?”* the adventurer thought. He then thought about how the colours were made and thought purple is red and blue and green is blue and yellow. He had just stepped on the yellow and blue so thought that green would be the correct step. Then he thought that the next two steps are red and blue and they mix to make purple. The adventurer kept thinking which would be the most logical path, combining the next two steps or the result of the previous two steps. He took a deep breath and stepped onto the purple step. The yellow behind him disappeared and then neither the green nor the purple disappeared. Perhaps both were correct after all he thought as he stepped forwards and went through the portal.
He finally arrived at the well room for level 1 but there was an armoured knight standing by the well. He came over and began to speak to the adventurer.
Knight: Password?
The adventurer tried to think back and suddenly remembered that Igneous had given him a password and now seemed as good a time as any to use it!
Adventurer: Battleaxe
Knight: Password Accepted. Please continue towards level 2
The adventurer could hardly believe that he had gotten through this task so easily and began to approach the well way. The adventurer still had the lamp in hand and did ponder whether to keep the lamp or to leave it before descending the well. He thought that the lamp may come in handy so kept hold of it and starting trying to get into the well. Then a voice could be heard.
Treguard: Please leave all level 1 objects before descending the well for they will not have any use for you below.
The adventurer accepted that the lamp would need to be left and so he placed it on the floor and climbed into the well. He took one deep breath before he let go of the ledge and fell down the well.
To Be Continued.....

Ever thought this might have been perfect for the Eye Shield?
What the Quest that the adventurer is on from the title sequence? He is not blinded by justice anymore so that is why I did not personally include it. However, if you wanted to include a story encorporating the eye shield it would be most interesting to read Not syaing that it is not a bad idea but the angle I have taken the story is that he has the shield in the title with the helmet of justice on and that it is a symbol to the lessons learned on his quest for squiredom, which Knightmare was originally rewarding, and that even though he is no longer blinded by justice he kepts a symbol of it to remind him of the lessons he has learned in Knightmare before. I will have to make sure that he uses this in his quest at some point for my story........

I may have got it wrong here but I think Ironlord is referring to the Knightmare fanzine The Eye Shield and that this adventure would be well suited to it. It has been under the helm(et of of Justice) of Jake Collins for over five years and you can find a link to it on Knightmare.com under the 'Eye Shield' sidebar. Alternatively if you don't want to read almost 40 issues in one fell swoop you can submit your ideas for inclusion to jake directly at
hope that helped!

Hmmm, looks like I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick there.....
I suppose it's not a bad idea to put forward I'll e-mail him and see whether they want to include the story or not. Otherwise I shall continue the posts here. The main point of this thread though is for everyone to try and write their own story/ideas as to what happens to the Adventurer after the Portcullis falls, I'm just writing a very detailed quest but anyone can contribute any ideas of what they believe to be the fate of the adventurer....
-
Got an e-mail back from Jake and he wants me to write the full script for him. May have to write a prelude to explain his journey from Knightmare Castle to the Castle in the sequence where the Adventurer enters in the title sequence. May have to leave you in suspense now until he appears in TES now........
To be continued.....

Hurrah a happy ending...or do I mean beginning?
We'll miss your contributions here but I'm sure they'll add to the reasons to which we enjoy The Eye Shield so much. If anyone else has any submission ideas for it be they puzzles, pictures, stories etc don't hesitate to send them along to Jake (eyeshield2002@hotmail.com) he's always very grateful for them as I found out personally when I did the 3 part series on looking at humour in Knightmare for it (back in Issues 17,18 and 20).

Just top keep you all up to date. The story is now fully written and will be included in TES The first segment I think is scheduled to be included in the Janaury edition and will include the Prelude I have written. Hope you enjoy the full story once it gets into TES

Two email address plugs in four days! (It reminds me of the time that Brollachan posted eBay report auction URLs three times in one week.) I suppose it saves J.C. the bother of coming down from Eyeshield Towers and posting here himself. How much is he paying you?
-
Well...you had to go one better and plug it twice in one post didn't you?
(He must be paying you more than me then...)
I guess the languages teaching principle of constant repetition must be weearing off on me...so if anyone does have any submissions...*gets dragged off by Festus
-
My post's plugs are merely extracts of yours, so any payment I do receive will be duly forwarded to you. And here's something else to bear in mind: since the initials of The Eye Shield are the same as those of the Times Educational Supplement, if you put 'writer and promoter for TES' on your CV, it could work in your favour...
