---Pre-amble/"what the dickens is this thing?"---

First things first - no, I do not take full responsibility for the idea of the weeping angels.
I'll go into that in the credits section, thanks very much. ;)

The Eternal is my... sixth scenario (seventh if we count "PFAM", which we should not) for BoA and was designed almost solely for the second 24 hour Scenario Contest. I say "almost solely"because I'd originally wanted to make this scenario a while back. I had a huge gaping backstory for all the characters, and the angels, and frankly, it was dreck. So, I stripped it all down, gave the whole thing a new setting, and here we are. 

---Level recommendation/teen rating---

Meh. This thing could probably be a "general" quite easily, but it has a few scary parts so I'm being safe. There is no gore, no swearing (at all, I think, actually), nothing like that. 

The level recommendation is purely because of the amount of damage you will be taking in the scenario. You might survive with a much lower party - whatever. Again, I'm being safe.

---Files---

All the files in the scenario folder are necessary for the scenario to work. If you delete any of them, the scenario will break, and you'll need to download it again. Oh my!

---Credits/Acknowledgements ---

Aw, jeez. Right, so the angels. Not my idea. Well, it was my idea to make them prisoners, and the backstory I have for them (and might give them in future scenarios) is all me. The actual idea? They were a monster in a 'Doctor Who' episode called "Blink". Steven Moffat wrote the episode, and came up with the monsters, so I suppose without him, this wouldn't exist. There, that's out of the way.

Finally, a huge wave out to MGMT, and their album "Oracular Spectacular" which I listened to many, many times whilst making this thing.

--Beta Testers--

Enraged Slith, who hates people living happily ever after. 
Nemesis, who lost a lake.
Jewels, who didn't realise the angels had eyes in the back of their heads.
Dikiyoba, who's reports did not make me laugh at all.
Turtle, who's pictures painted a thousand words.
W-Dueck, who wanted a story-less story-scenario.
Nicothodes, who found a bug nobody else could reproduce, because it wasn't really a bug.
Ackrovan, who lost his testing cherry in style.
Jumpin' Salmon, who suggested I replace Rentar with Hitler. An idea I entetained for just about long enough to realise I don't know any German.

---Graphics and Scripts---

I don't think I used anything apart from the scripts that come with a newly made scenario... Oh! "mm" is a real
simple thing I wrote which basically checks to see if a certain terrain has been smooshed.

All graphic credits are listed below. If I got one of these wrong, or if I haven't acknowledged you, let me know using the contact information at the end of this file. 

	G500 - 	These are minor colour-shifts of graphics ripped from GF.
	G501 - 	These hills were made by tridash/oranges to fit a floor from GF. I colour-shifted them to match my own floor.
	G502 - 	As above.
	G503 - 	This is tridash/oranges sheet of GF terrains, colour-shifted for my own needs.
	G504 - 	The small docks are by Ephesos - they are edited versions of BoA graphics, I think. 
		The angel is by Enraged Slith. 
		The shrubs are from GF, edited by me. 
	      	The candlestick/altar are edits of BoA terrain, by me. 
		The crystals are, I believe, from GF.
	G505 - 	Found on google.com
	
	If you are going to use any of these, please give credit to the artist.
