Title : Phouse: "The house of portals" Filename : Phthp.wad & phthp.deh Date Finished : 4 sep. 2000 Author : Wim Vanrie Email Address : Wim.Van.Rie@pandora.be Other Files By Author : Rvenge01.wad Phpre.wad (pre-release of this wad) Misc. Author Info : I live in Bruges, Belgium and i love doom Description : To start the wad, type: Boom -file phthp.wad -deh phthp.deh Phthp is a 9 level single player only doom2 wad, inspired by the great game, Realms of the haunting. I've tried to recreate a creepy experience like in this game (especially in the house). I hope i've succeeded. You will need a Boom compatible engine to play it. Any comments are welcome, just mail me. In every level (except the last) there's one secret. If you don't find the portals or the secrets, just read phhint.txt file. !!!!! IMPORTANT TO KNOW !!!!! The first level plays in the house of portals. Here you come accross two key doors, but the keys aren't in the first level. The yellow key is in the second level. You have to find the hidden portal to that level (the world Homophobia)and recover the yellow key there. In level three, you're back in the house, with the yel- low key, wich you can use to open the yellow door. Then you must find the next portal to level four (the world Demoka). !!!!!

Just enjoy. Tomorrow morning could be my last day. I've been chosen to enter the country house and face the dangers inside it. But, let me begin from the start. Everything was going well in our neighbourhood. A few days ago that suddenly changed. Every tree in the garden died in one night. One day later, we found the landlord on the street, heavily wounded. The only thing Enriko, that's his name you know, can say before he dies is ... damn, i forgot my line :-) ... just kidding, the only thing he can say is: "You need to find and destroy the Galbrador on the world Gobrotica at all cost.". In his hands he holds a diary, discribing his adventures. He was part of a cult of 8 magicians. 1 master and 7 apprentices. They where interested in the story of 4 strange portals in the house wich each lead to another world. Just at the moment they discovered the first portal, the master magician was found death in his room. They build a mausoleum in the house for his last resting place. The portal seemed to be magicaly sealed. After many years of investigation, they where able to break the seal. The apprentice who had accomplished the ritual was found death in his room ... He read the review of his WAD on the web, you know :-) ... They put his body in the mausoleum with the leader ( Wat a smell :-) ). Enriko was send as envoy to investigate the first world: Homophobia ---------- HOMOPHOBIA ---------- In Homophobia Enriko hears of the Galbrador for the first time. Homophobia is full of people who are very agressive, they aren't even scared to kill each other. It doesn't matter, because the Galbrador gave there leader the power to rise the dead. He has donated some magical items too: - Blue potions for healing - Green potions for protection - A magical chest for healing all your wounds and for making you stronger - A green bulletproof vest for protection He gave these items to every world. Moreover, he has given one special item to every world. For Homophobia this was a backpack with a built-in energy field wich makes every item ten times smaller, so he can carry much more with him. Enriko finds out that the leader of Homophobia has lost contact with the Galbrador for quite a time. He hears of the existence of three other worlds and a portal to each in the house. Enriko is willing to help the leader to reestablish the contact with the Galbrador but, the leader has to tell him the location of the portals. Unfortenately, he has forgotten his line to :-) The only part of his line he remembers is the location of the portal to the second world: Demoka. Enriko returns to the house and finds out that there is a portal to Demoka in the country house. But, again its magicaly sealed. Again, after years of studdy and serious headaches they find a way to lift the ban. The first trial failed, and kills another apprentice (where did Sherlock Homes go?) and his assistant. Only four members remain, icluding Enriko. The second try is succesfull. Again Enriko is send as an envoy to Demoka. ------ DEMOKA ------ Demoka is ruled by an evil triplets, they call themselves: The Barons of Demoka. Luckily, they are very eager to restore the contact with the Galbrador. Otherwise, Enriko wouldn't have survived this trip. They even tell him the unique item they recieved from the Galbrador. It's a blue energy field wherein sits an entity which gives the same effect as one hundred blue potions (Whaaw!!! :-) ) They also give away the location of the thirth portal to the world: Phantomuzo. Enriko returns to the house, and they find out that the portal is, guess what, magically sealed!!! It cost them every single damn bit of energy they have left to open it (why didn't they just say: open sesame). Another victim fell during the hart attack operation ... Oops, wrong soap serie :-) , speeking of soup, i'm getting hungry, i'l continue this story later, ... ... BURPS ... PRRT, open the damn bathroom door, please!!! ... ... ... Here i am again, let's continue the story, another body was disposed at the mausoleum, only three apprentices left. Enriko goes as envoy to Phantomuzo ---------- PHANTOMUZO ---------- Every follower of the Galbrador that falls into disfavour is executed and his body is burried on Phantomuzo. They haunt this world wich is covered with graveyards and chappels. They've got a small chance to be recalled to Gobrotica. But, to get recalled they first have to restore contact with him. So the leaders, very fat ugly creatures, are very pleased with the help of Enriko. They unveil they have a unique item to guard: a very valuable battleshield wich turns your skin into stone. They know the location of the fourth poral to the fourth world: Cavera. Enriko returns to the house. The fourth portal is magicaly sealed (speaking of déjà-vu). Another victim falls during the ritual to break the seal. The body is dumped in the mausoleum. Only two left. They both travel to Cavera ------ CAVERA ------ Cavera is an abandoned pirate hideout wich is now invaded by huge spiders. And, there are rumours that the creatures of the house have send there best troopers to Cavera. The same story here, they have lost contact with the Galbrador and are eager to restore it. Enriko and his buddy can make some new allies. The leader, a very very very ... very very very ... small, uh, big spider (WARNING FOR SISSY'S: STOP READING!!!), tells you about the unique item he recieved: a white energy field where in sits an entity who givs a super-duper-wooper-pooper shield and doubles your health. They bring Enriko and his companion to the portal to Gobrotica, the world of the Galbrador. Many centuries ago, this portal has been closed by a magician. The creatures of Cavera have tried everything to open it, but everything failed. Enriko and company thinks that if they can open the portal they will receive endless power, so they offer to help. They travel back to the house to study a bit more in the library. Enriko now writes down in his diary: "Hehe, i got rid of the last one, now that every one is out of the way i'm the only one who will benefit of the powers of the Galbrador!" Enriko decides to close the doors in the house that lead to the portals. The keys are guarded in the different worlds. Only the portal to Homophobia is left open because this is his favorite world. He tells in his diary that he is planning to close this portal when he returns from Gobrotica. the last sentence he wrote down was: "I have found a way to open the portal and tomorrow i will travel to Gobrotica and become the only ruler." ---------- Apparantly the cause of all the mysterious events was the opening of this last portal. Several people have been entering the country house, butt never returned. One of them didn't get far, he servs as a decoration in the front yard. Hopefully lies his dubble shotgun somewhere nearby. So, tomorrow it is my turn to enter the country house. But, what they don't now, is that i make a good chance because i've played Doom. And if i succeed, it will be me who becomes the ultimate ruler, MOEHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! If you are already scared by reading the story, don't play the Wad without your diapers on. :-) SPONSORED BY URINE LEMONADE, TASTY AND SWEET.
