Fast Travel

[Scaredgirl]

Exploration:
Fast Travel

Walking across the map take 45 days. This is why we need fast travel.


Here is an example of fast travel, Camel.




Walking from 74 to 104 would take 3 rounds:

74
Move 84

84
Move 94

94
Move 104


But when the player uses the Camel, it takes only 1 round:

74
Move Camel 104


Each element has its own form of fast travel:

   Dimensional Gate
   Giant Eagle
   Giant Bat
   ??
   Gnome Tunnels
   "Teleport Thingy"
   ??
   ??
   ??
   Horse
   Camel
   Ship

Each of these work a bit differently, and cost different amounts.

You can use the fast travel of your element, plus the fast travel of your allies (with increased price).

fire : cannon
death : death ship (boat made out of skulls)
gravity : lowered gravity (run really fast )
life : ?

For one, Horse Should be Stallion. For , how about Gates of Hell,  Underworldly Portal, Would be something like an airplane, like Flying Armagio or something. Finally,  would be Speeding Cheetah or something..

Well, for Darkness, the Shadowdancer from DnD can teleport from one shadow to another. Maybe something like that?

Edit: didn't notice that darkness was taken.

Life: Tamed Cockatrice?

Underworld Passage
Rocket? Giant Phoenix?
Something magnetic or some sort of large height that you could jump off of and fall further away?
Enormous Frog?,

  Skeletal Steed. Boring, but why not?

  :We'd rather die than build something *die* (undead imps)
  : Cremates you and blows the ashes to somewhere (phoenix)
  :A rocket you say... (that's what SG saied in the map section)
  :I've got to get there! It's the matter of life... That's it. (root transport)

You know, they say that people living in the amazon build great tree-houses and bridges just below the canopy, and if you can get up there, you can run faster than the fastest leopard.  Perhaps the life fast travel should be a hidden trail or vine swing.
Gravity, meanwhile, can be a strange area with no gravity.  Just aim where you want to go and jump.
Fire is a toughy.  Lava generally moves really slowly, and fire doesn't really move at all.  But if there were a river of lava, maybe the right boat could cross it?
Lastly, death is simple.  For their crimes against the world, a swarm of lost souls are accursed, forced into servitude.  They'll get you where you want to go.

  should have Frog Hop


and maybe this could be something u could buy from the shop that  would let u  have 1 instant jump to a location or something and each element only has 2 of them to buy

I think  should be Entropic Tunnel, and that it should teleport them not exactly where the fast travel takes them, but around that hexagon. (through something that is randomly generated using some sort of website, idk)

thats funny, because thats exactly what I was thinking, but a random teleport could be crippling in this setup. I recommend having a variable price instead. So if a normal fast travel from another element might cost 10 electrum, entrophy might cost 13, but  a random amount of the cost is returned to the player (between 0 and 7 coins). 

A different option would be to have different elements take different numbers of turns on fast travel, at a price based on the speed of the travel.
