The game requires that the party moves together, and survives the horrors found within Grimrock; which include a vast assortment of wild beasts, to deathly puzzles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13\" src=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/248881-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"248881\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/248881-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/248881-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/248881-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/248881-500x281.jpg 500w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/248881.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The (aspiring) writer in me needed a background for these four strangers, thrown together, and tossed into a Mountain prison. Why had they been arrested? Who were these characters? How could some of the beasts and magic that exist in Grimrock be explained? So I wrote a quick little introduction that brings the four characters together; and how the four of them end up in trouble with the law, and get arrested and tossed down into Grimrock to survive the horrors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-14\" src=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1754844-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"1754844\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1754844-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1754844-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1754844-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1754844-500x281.jpg 500w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1754844.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>However, an unexpected thing happened. The characters called out to me (in my head), and told me that they wanted their story told. So, with the original segment posted on the <em>Legend of Grimrock<\/em> forum; I thought I&#8217;d do a little mini challenge for myself. Some things I wanted to do for this challenge were done to build my ability to be creative on the spot. So, what I began doing with each additional segment of the story I added:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make no story plan, as to where the story was going, character development, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Everything was to be spontaneous, developed as I was writing the story.<\/li>\n<li>Give myself only 15 minutes to write each segment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-16\" src=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_03-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_03\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_03-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_03-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_03-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_03-500x281.jpg 500w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The idea was that I&#8217;d force myself to sit down, when I was feeling inspired, and give myself a short amount of time, to spurt out a story, and make it all tie together. However, as I said, none of this is planned out as I write it; so the story changes perspective early on (originally being written from the character Tawmis&#8217; first person point of view) to a third person point of view, as the story grew larger than I had originally anticipated. So it&#8217;s all here &#8211; collected as I continue to add onto it &#8211; completely unedited. Perhaps, when it&#8217;s all said and done, I may go back, revisit the story from the start and edit it together in a more cohesive manner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-152\" src=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Image1-300x223.png\" alt=\"Image1\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Image1-300x223.png 300w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Image1-768x570.png 768w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Image1-1024x760.png 1024w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Image1-404x300.png 404w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Image1.png 1682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Originally, it lasted throughout <em>Legend of Grimrock<\/em> &#8211; however, when <strong>Almost Human<\/strong> announced <em>Legend of Grimrock 2<\/em>, I returned to the story and and resumed the same exercise. On the <em>Legend of Grimrock<\/em> forums, several people who were reading the stories and replying that they were enjoying it, giving feedback, eventually evolved the story into a <em>What If<\/em> two different teams were on the Isle of Nex from <em>Legend of Grimrock<\/em><em> 2<\/em> &#8211; which is where the story is at (as I write this). It&#8217;s been a lot of fun, and I thought I&#8217;d make a page that collects all the stories that I post on the forum &#8211; here, in case someone stumbles across this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5\" src=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LOG_SITE_BANNER_2-300x81.png\" alt=\"LOG_SITE_BANNER_2\" width=\"300\" height=\"81\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LOG_SITE_BANNER_2-300x81.png 300w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LOG_SITE_BANNER_2-768x208.png 768w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LOG_SITE_BANNER_2-1024x277.png 1024w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LOG_SITE_BANNER_2-500x135.png 500w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/grimrock\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/LOG_SITE_BANNER_2.png 1329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donate to keep the site ad free!
