Terraria Succession

[Orange juice :l]

Dwarf Fortress Succession had plenty of hype, but nobody knew how to play it! Thus, we're starting a game of Terraria Succession.

The rules in short:
1. When it's your turn, you will receive a map and a character- extract these to your save locations to play as them.
2. No bringing the succession character to other maps or other characters to the succession map.
3. No malicious destruction (eg punching out a wall for expansion/remodeling/"reimagining" is fine- it's succession, after all, they have a saved copy if they're attached to their creation)
4. No mods, hacks, or inveditors, obviously
5. Pass the game on after Three hours of in-game time (with a grace period of ten minutes or so to wrap up battles, prepare for the next player, etc), or five (real) days of your turn beginning.
6. Screenshot/Video logs are encouraged!
7. General text logs of what you accomplished/devastated required when ending your turn

Misc. Info:
- Softcore character
- Terraria v1.2.4.1 or most recent version in case of update
- Large world

With that said, I'll volunteer to take the first turn (unless somebody else really likes the early game):

[Orange juice :l]

And with the end of the first turn, I present to you: The Adventures of Johnny Bravo.
(Fair warning, ~60 pictures at full resolution)

(click to show/hide)

The man himself. He's ready to begin his new adventure...



In what turned out to be a barren, frozen wasteland. Fantastic.



Exploring a bit to the east, I have come across this tree. I will be very demoralized if this tree is ever killed.



I quickly grasped the situation with an iron fist and asserted my dominance over the local wildlife.



I managed to cross the snowy plains, which apparently weren't all that large. Excited for a proper adventure, I went forward to find...



Something I really shouldn't have.



MY TACTICS ARE OF NO USE HERE, I AM HELPLESS



Returning to whence I came, I set to work making armaments from shadewood I stole from the crimson. I began having a bit of a problem as Brian couldn't keep the door closed.



Needless to say, I had to punish him.



He will be missed.



But more importantly, you better watch out because Bravo has mastered the local attire!



A bit of deforestation later, I managed to complete a rough outline of the house.



Halfway through the carpentry, a new challenger appeared. I was intent on proving myself as the alpha.



YOU BEGAN THIS STRIFE, THERE IS NO ESCAPE



The spoils of war! With this, I can finally entice the merchant to move in...



Or at least, I would have, if he wasn't so fussy. Something about "insulation" and "not a real floor" and "I could fall 25 feet and snap a leg". Honestly.



I was conflicted about delving into the earth, as I had nowhere to store my money (And no, I'm not going to just place it on the ground. How barbaric!). But I knew there was only one path to take. #yoloswagbrah



I'm not sure what tipped me off, but this seemed to be a ruse of some sort.



Of course, there was an easy solution. Engineering at work!



It was at this point that I discovered the most valuable treasure.



I love it when there's a clear shot to the reward.



It was at this point I realized going deeper was no longer a viable option.



The haul so far.



Finally, fresh air once more- just in time for night.



After much bickering, I finally got around to getting the housing up to code.



And of course, Louis proceeds to injure himself regardless. Honestly, the nerve of some people.



Finally, I had what I wanted.



But tragically, it was then that I realized I could not, in fact, fly, unlike my quarry.



They mock me. I shall not stand for this.



Fruitless though my attempts to catch the avian menace were, I did come across a proper Living Tree.



And inside of the sole chest there was a Living Loom! I look forward to some nature-themed rooms.



It was a really nice room, down in that root system. So much so that the Dye Trader immediately moved in. Why can't you be more like him, Louis?



Honestly, I'll never understand these people.



But when it comes to hunting the winged, patience...



is key.



I think he likes it here.



I don't think they like it, though, but I honestly don't care.



Oh. Fantastic. But regardless, I put the rest of the Platinum to very good use.



 



And then, the game was changed forever. Something that I could reach.



A memorial to how good I looked before a functional change of outfit. Man, things are really coming up Bravo. Townspeople moving in, a fruitful mining expedition, a menagerie of pets...



We all expected this, didn't we?



But then, my priorities changed. The apple of my eye. The ultimate catch.



It was mine. No demon eye, Eskimo zombie, or slime would keep me from it. Your sacrifice will not be in vain, brother.



This picture is dedicated to Max



But then, things began to look grim.



Very grim.



I survived, but for what? I was cooped up in here whilst my dreams fluttered above my head, mocking me.



But at least I was alive. Johnny Bravo will not die tonight!



They're no shades, but they'll do.



Alas, what was going to be a calm fishing trip to take my mind off all of this took such a sinister turn.



One duck later, I decided to kick back and relax regardless.



Well, that's not a fish.



I figure people would lose it if I didn't show what was inside, so here it is. Three shine potions. Fair enough.



Look at them. LOOK AT THEM! Talking behind my back. Laughing at my grounded legs, reduced to enticing fish towards me with worms, the lowliest creature on this planet. They will rue the day they mocked JOHNNY BRAVO.



But alas, today is not the day of my vengeance.



Returning to the depths, I found what seemed to be an ancient artifact. Perhaps this could have proven the existence of pure blue seas at this very location, eons ago? This could very well have been a point where a ship of antiquity docked for its crew to partake in some critical historical event. But fear not, I destroyed it. Not sure why.



I-I don't have a problem. Really.



Well, it's better. I suppose they still don't all fit inside the house, but it's a staSQUIRREL



And with all I have set out to accomplish completed, I place everything of value into this chest for the second among us to use as he sees fit.

The save's been transferred over to King Dumb. We're still taking signups for turns in the queue!  

[Orange juice :l]

For those who didn't hear (aka anybody who isn't Jman or King Dumb), KD traded spots with Jman as he had to do assorted things, which may or may not have included dethroning Satan. Additionally, Mausman and Pikmin747 have been added to the queue by their request.

[Mau5man]

Confirming this.


(By the way, my name on Steam is "Oness", as to not confuse.)

[Smunch]

Hell, I'll join in on this, seems fun.

[The Rush]

I'll join in on this as well.

[Jman]

*Sigh*, I'm going to have to drop out. Sorry for holding it up for the next guy in line, but I've just been too busy lately.

[King Dumb]

I forgot to take screenshots of my first hour, sorry. I just describe it at the beginning.

(click to show/hide)

I ventured to the east, up to Crimson, battled enemies at the border, couldn't get further, went back to explore the caves explored by my predecessor, found some more ore, chests, a few items.



The spoils of my first hour. Note the Recall Potions, the Demonic Boomerang, and the bathroom/trash ware I made that someone else should place. I also got a lot of money I put in the other chest over there. Anyway, time to start the next two hours.


Boomerang in hand, Johnny Bravo prepares to travel west, to conquer that which he could not before.


The western frost biome greets me with a nice flower and seeds to sow whence I return. How lovely.


MY BODY IS READY.


Things are going very smoothly, yes.


And thus Johnny Bravo has ventured through the dread of Crimson, to the Promised Land of the Desert on the other side. I feel so welcomed.


That was pretty underwhelming.

Gee I hope something exciting happens soon.


YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I had a training montage all set up but let's skip it shall we.


eye ron


I swear we need a biome composed solely of these connected together.


I have done it

It's happened

*I'm a tree fairy*


As I descend underground from within the tree, society sends Darren to urbanize my nature.

Not on my watch.

There wasn't anything of interest down below the tree, the cavern was small.


oh


I saved a Grasshopper from the hordes of the Blood Moon.

Good Guy Johnny Bravo


I got passed the tree and the Blood Moon passed, and I arrived at another desert. This welcoming party looks scary, but Johnny Bravo has no fear.


aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


darn


OH NEVERMIND NOT DARN.

I bought a few bombs.

Don't worry guys I'm a professional.


I fear if I do not escape this desert before night, I will be doomed to roam the shifting dunes for eternity.


Okay we're good.


Finally Johnny Bravo has found the ancient dungeon spoken of in the legen-- PIANO


Johnny Bravo often stops to ponder the local flora. In completely unrelated business, Johnny Bravo often stops to ponder the accuracy of the local flora.


I swear I have no idea how this happened I would never walk farther into the ocean than I can safely return from.


Recall Potion hype.

Now then, with my new comb climbing claws, I can return to the Crimson of the East and scale the cliff face that stopped me earlier.


But first


the temptation is real


After probably 20 minutes of fending off Crimson beasts and zombies and retirement to a crude earthen tower, I managed to come out on top of the cliff.


After even longer fighting through the crimson I made it out to the jungle. Johnny Bravo will have many tales to tell his grandchildren, but a tale about overcoming the Crimson to find paradise on the other wise will never ever be one of them.


Ever.


Day 43. I have been rused. I thought I had made it out of the Crimson, but it turns out the Jungle is actually in on it all too. No signs of peaceful habitation in sight. This truly is a forsaken place.

Wait

Wait

There

On the shore

is that

is that

IT IS

JASON FROGON JR.


I will never stop loving you Jason Frogon Jr.


I WILL PROTECT YOU JASON


I'm not a coward I just couldn't let Jason see what I would have done to those monsters

Okay so after this I spent a while looking for Lenses, but after two full nights completely devoid of Demon Eyes...

Johnny Bravo's rage got the best of him.

It was time

To strike at the heart of the enemy

15 vertebrae in hand, Johnny Bravo marched west, to the forsaken realm, to plunge into the catacombs of Crimson to strike the brain of that foul creature...




spoders

No Cthulhu body parts were slain at this time. That left only one more thing to do.


Jason Frogon Jr. is the real hero here.

Anyway, notable spoils: Climbing Claws, Boomerang, Leaf Wand, Painter, Demolitionist, glod chest, a bit more armor, a lot of dosh, and JASON FROGON JR.

Anyway, I'll contact Mausman and transfer over the necessary files for PART III.

[Orange juice :l]

Due to Mausman's absence, I am removing him from the queue. However, since Pikmin747 is his brother, I'm also going to offer the two three days (Start of July 7th, EST) to retake their turns before King Dumb has the go-ahead to give the world to Smunch.

[Mau5man]

Finished 27/6/2014

Sorry for the out for a week on a trip.
Posting a changelog and screenies later today.

Handing down to Pikmin747

Edit: I did not literally mean later that day I meant later :P

Posting on: 9/7/2014 at around 2:00 PM / 14:00 PM Eastern US

[Orange juice :l]

Well, uh, so much for changelogs "later today".

[Mau5man]

I had taken pictures after I finished as I only wanted to show results,

I was waiting for the Travelling Merchant as buying a gun from him would be what would get this engine rolling

Luckily, Pikmin found the Merchant within minutes of his first hour.
