"The Temple of UNUSUALS"

Demo 1 by Fluff8836

Story
-----

After the events of Ballos and the Island stable, our heroes and Balrog are going to live their days peacefully on the surface. Up ahead in their paths lies a strange Temple. As they cross over it, a pulling force stopped Balrog in his tracks. Quote and Curly Brace held on tight as hard as they can, but the force was too powerful. Balrog couldn't even move forward and Curly started to fall through the Temple's center opening, which had been sealed soon after. The force stopped... Quote and Balrog begin to worry.

Curly crash lands in the Temple Base. After down for a few minutes she starts to look around, and sees something. A table at the corner. Curly inspects and finds a note and a diary. The note was written by someone going by the name of 'Jenka' (the old witch residing in the Sand Zone with her puppies). Unfortunately, Curly's memory is only partially damaged as a result of a crash from the fall so she doesn't know who Jenka is (hopefully until she sees her, she'll remember). The note told her she has to go through 8 passageways to get out of the Temple. Her quest of escape begins.

The Diary
---------

Diary - Use it to record your quest progress. It is a magical diary, strangely. In the event Curly dies, she respawns from the diary from the last recording. All progress made after the last recording is undone, meaning she returns to the past!

Characters
----------

Boulder Guardian - The main antagonist of this story. He has beaten up many adventurers trying to escape the Temple. This rock monster guards at the end of every passageway. His favorite food is anything metal! If he finds a worthy opponent and continues to be beaten, he could bulid machines and try to stop him or her in any way he can. That is why he always asks for his or her name if he finds new opponents.

Jenka - The old witch residing in the Sand Zone on the floating island. She, along with the help of her 'pet rock' monster built this Temple to try to keep any intruders from going to the island. Temple entrances are circled around the floating island. After the completion of building this Temple and setting up traps, Jenka gives her 'pet rock' monster the title as 'Boulder Guardian' and allowed him to stand ground, waiting for anybody who somehow avoided the traps, and then, stop them from escaping. It is so harsh...

Quote - A hero from the prequel 'Cave Story' who made great decisions, even though he is still amneisac. Curly is his close friend...

Balrog - Used to be under the spell of the 'Demon Crown' in the prequel, now being freed, he can be very useful for clearing tough situations for our heroes.

Misery - Another witch, used to be under the spell of the 'Demon Crown' in the prequel. She is the daughter of Jenka. In any event somewhere in the passageways, she will appear to offer... well, assistance I might say.

Chaba - The Gaudi that ran the Labyrinth shop in the floating island. Now, with Jenka giving him a promotion, he manages and works in the shops in certain levels in the Temple, here to offer essentials for adventurers.

Curly Brace - Protagonist of this story (you take control of her in this story). She abruptly slid off and fell in the Temple. Now she wants answers and to find a way out of this Temple. Guide her though eight passageways of trap filled, monster infested mayhem.
