Hi Ron,
Here is the link to the sound I found. It should be the town portal from
diablo one.
It is as clean as I could get it, so I hope it is useful.

Wow, 15! That is a lot of sequels for a series of fantasy games that are
called Final, lol.
I remember the movie too, That was a fun movie, although a bit strange.
Ok, here is what I am thinking for your friends alternat map pack.
Ron, Jinx and Rikku end up on Antara , which is the game world. They detected
a strange disturbance featureing the mysterious quest power. The disturbance
was just enough to get their attention, so they decide to check it out.
At the Inn, they have that encounter with an ogre demon.
After the encounter, Jinx sees a black cat huddled in a corner of their room.
She takes pity on it, thinking it was scared. She picks it up, but it
teleports her away with itself.
The player knows it was Tabitha but Ron, Jinx and Rikku did not.
Fearful of what might happen to Jinx, they attempt to use the mysterious
quest power to try and detect Jinx's location. They find the power to be
strangely diffused, like light is diffused thru murky water or a dirty pane
of glass.
The attempt fails, forcing them to figure out another means of looking for
their friend.
They don't go far, since they have to report the attack and dead bodies and
Jinx being whisked away by a cat via magic, to the local city watch. The
constable finds their report is truthful and that they were forced thru self
defense. Just after making the report, Guards come up to the constable,
stating that Gerend has been arrested for his connection with some new slaver
guild. One of gerend's many accomplices had been caught using some strange
coins in an attempt to bribe a guard.
The thug had given up gerend to avoid the gallows, and also the name of a
wizard named Fazoon.
The constable is not surprised by Gerend being dirty and explains to Ron and
Rikku that people had been abducted over the past few months. Mostly they
were low life nobodies, but their friend Jinx could be one of those abducted.
Ron asks if he and his friend could help capture the wizard, in hopes of
finding their friend. After all, the black cat seemed to be a familiar or at
least possessed magic of their own.
The constable tells them that, most likely, the paladins will be leading the
arrest of the wizard, but that he knew one of the paladin's men, a man named
Malcolm Crombie . A good NCO and second assistant to Vinton Marlow who is in
charge of the paladins contingent of men.
That night Malcolm has Ron and Rikku join a group of guards to watch the
back of the house. To their shock, the group sees the house erupt in flames.
A massive fire elemental bursts out of the house and ron with Rikku and some
city guards must fight and defeat it.
After the fight, the house is blackened shards and smoke.
The city guard, rikku and ron were left to search for bodies and clues.
No bodies found, Ron and Rikku left alone among the ruins as the guards give
up and leave.
One of the two friends suddenly discover a secret concealed door by accident,
and they decide to plunge ahead alone, for Jinx's sake.
They go below and discover a labrynth of traps. After they pass thru the
labyrinth, then enter into the laboratory.
They find the lab is partly packed, as if someone packed in a hurry and only
took what they felt most important.
They find formulas and spell scrolls and discover that the wizard fazoon was
actually the cause of the quest power disturbance.
They surmise thru the notes that Fazoon was attempting to meld two beings
into a single entity that could bear the mysterious quest power.
One of the notes showed what seemed like a cat and human hybrid, as well as
ogre and demon, and one particular nasty one. A snake with a woman.
Each note features a number of jotted notes that reveal that Fazoon was
testing by trial and error. A large number of his test subjects have Dead
written by them, some have failed by their category name. Only a quarter of
the test subjects were successes.
Rikku discovers that a page is missing detailing how the Jinx test subject
will be the breakthrough Fazoon needs. The page is half ripped, with the
sentence written split in half. The sentence written is " I will take the cat
woman to.
The other half of the page is stuck underneath a door. She picks the lock
and opens the door to get the paper fragment, but with in the room are the
failed abominations. Horrible mutated creatures that seem to have a strange
siphoning effect on quest power.
After the fight, they find the other half of the page mentions the teleport
circle Fazoon was forced to use.
The friends discover it, and decide to use it.
They land in a jail cell made of a sickly green metal. The metal immediately
glows and begins to drain the two friends empty of their mysterious quest
power.
The weapons and powers are useless, They see that their captor is a drow
wizardess who is accompanied with a variety of creatures.
Two gnolls, an assassin bearing an elf skathe, a second drow female, an
apprentice perhaps. There is also a Halfling, half orc barbarian and a human
cleric.
The wizardess explains that if they attempt to flee, or resist them in any
way, all she needs to do is use a crystal ball located on a table near by and
tell her master. Jinx would then be skinned alive as punishment.
The drow asks them questions.mostly about Jinx, what was used to make her,
how it was done. Rikku states that the drow doesn't know who she and her
master fazoon is messing with.
The drow wizardess simply says that Fazoon is not her master. Tiaxx is the
master, and Tiaxx will rule all.
She tells her apprentice to do what she has to to get the information out of
them, and she teleports away.
A week or more goes by. Ron and Rikku are weak, having only been given water
and bread. They have been tortured for the information. They know if they
tell, they will die and so will Jinx.
Then one day, faint sounds of battle could be heard. The drow apprentice
consults the crystal ball. She is told by Viconia that prisoners had escaped
and her and her friends were needed. Bring everyone she tells her. The
escaped prisoners are quite resourceful.
The apprentice gathers her friends and as many kobolds as possible.
More later

Last I checked final fantasy 15 came out recently at least not too long ago
Final Fantasy 12 was the last One I played before I went blind
I remember playing gauntlet and if I recall there was a sequel and I played
it to something about sorrows in the title
As for Gundams it's OK they're pretty much the same thing just with a
different name but I do remember in some of the episodes they did refer to
some of the regular mobile suits as Mech warriors Who would be custom mobile
suits that would dominate the space battle at least until some Gundams showed
up
As for the characters in the story line I do understand that that is
difficult Any help with the idea would be helpful . Ron

Wow, their up to FF10? Geez.
I actually really enjoyed a PS title called Suikoden. That was such a great
game. The second one of the PS2 was also really good.
I would love to make a map pack similar to that, ut I don't think I could do
it on TB.
I never got to play diablo, but a person I knew let me watch him play it. I
reminded me of Gauntlet. Although much better of course.
I am still looking, although I found some interesting sounds for who I think
are diablo characters. They are not from diablo itself I don't think. Since
going blind my son is the only one who keeps up with that kind of thing now,
lol.
Ah, ok, Gundam. Sorry, I don't know why I went to mech warrior on that one.
Hmmm, Here is the thing. The characters don't fit and just couldn't be in the
original. I am willing to include a little description in a map describing
the characters in passing. Maybe as captured slaves, or as people entering a
portal, but actual interaction of anything more as they are is just really
untenable. If I did include the characters, they would b so changed in
everyway, it would not be what they were, nor what I was already planning.
The paralell idea is fine If he wants to make an alternate timeline were his
characters and mine interact and the like, that's perfectly fine with me. But
it would be a seperte work that was, I guess the term is fan fiction?
Iam at a crossroads. I worked this hard to get the map pack to this point,
but I feel for your friend who just wants to share his creative outlet, which
I understand completely.
