So, here is the promised flash!
The tragic prince Muschio goes in a dungeon to clean it out!

The author of the original story, weaver, is currently in trouble and homeless! Visit his tumblr for details: http://tgweaver.tumblr.com/post/19107187069/help

Warning: mature for blood/violence, but no gore.
Hint: It's not a "game" you can play, but rather a short-story which making was a game.

How to use
You need some flash-player for your Browser to view this, e.g. the one from adobe: http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
You can use your mouse to click on the arrows left/right to go to the previous/next frame, the skull to start, the orb to view additional comments!
If you would rather use your keyboard, press >enter< for additional comments and arrow-keys for browsing.
please note that some of the images are animated, so take your time for read the comments, not just fast-clicking to view the pictures...

About the flash:
I created it using the pictures and lines from a text-RPG from tgchan: http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/res/503006.html
So, that's neither my story nor my characters nor pictures. The one drawing this was someone named "weaver": http://www2.tgchan.org/wiki/Weaver

If you don't know, what a text-RPG is: weaver drew the first pictures and asked then, what Muschio, the main-character should do. the community in tgchan made then some suggestions from which some were chosen by weaver to get realized.
I copied the main-leading suggestion into straight view and some additional that get visible if you press the orb or >enter<.
So, I asked Weaver for permission to make this and publish it here, if I give proper credits.

Of course I needed to alter some pictures/animations to fit better and I made the navigation+orb+skull... and some actionscript... so not only copy+past^^
The main time-consumer was designing.

I was inspired by the flash from ruby's quest (which is from weaver, too^^ ; also mature): http://nepeta.mozai.com/Ruby_Quest/

Statistics: about 600 objects in 220 frames from 130 rpg-pictures

Review:
Well, this is the first flash I made... So I would like to get some critiques, about text-color, arrangement, etc.
Those critiques may lead to a second version! As I still have the source-file, I can still make alterations^^
Please note, that the neither the story nor the pictures are mine, so please talk with weaver about it: tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/313859.html

A problem I encountered was, that the current source-file for this is very unhandy... it's just 500MB, but I need to resize the flash to 100*100 to delete a frame in the middle of timeflow unless I don't want to get a "out of memory"-exception^^
Another problem is, that this flash got kind of long... so, if you like it and I want to make something similar for the second chapter (there are currently 24 ongoing), I may part the stories somewhere in the middle...
And how about a register of contents to switch to a specific frame?
