Alright, so this idea hit me just now, so I'd thought of posting it before I forget. Here it goes:

What if we had a corrupt Krogmo-like boss? So-say Krogmo's brother, whom went across the dark side in business. He holds KIND OF like a tournament? I wouldn't call it that, but it's the closest thing to keep on story.

Anyways, Krogmo's bother loves to play dirty, so the level would be themed very dangerous with mulitiple traps and "sucker-punch" enemy ambushes(which would come out by party button of course, but come out closer than you would expect or surround you). The whole stratum theme is mixed with every type of monster. I was thinking the first depth of Krogmo's brother's whole "tournament" would start off in a dark room. Krogmo's brother will start speaking and a light will come onto the knight(s). Brother of Krogmo will be saying, "Ah! More contestants! Please, come forward and enter my wonderful arena." The whole room will fill up with light(or just to where you can see normally). The room you are in seems very shady and leans toward the bad side of things(I.e. Candlestick Keep). You will walk down some steps to your first arena. Krogmo's brother will start speaking again, with an explanation. "Need not to worry, dear knights. You do not need any registration. We have already accounted for you. Your knowledge, tactics, and charisma will be tested for this part of the arena. You may begin when you are ready."

The arena is not shaped like any other old arena. This arena includes 4 different rooms, all of which lead to your escape to the next depth. Room 1 is the center of all the rooms. You will need to fight your way through this room in order to acess the others. The room is very wide, almost like a rectangle. There are mulitiple poison traps laid out across the arena(however many OOO wants in there). When you start the arena, Krogmo's brother's voice will show up once again. "Knights of Cradle! To clear this arena, you must use your intelligence. If you wish to go any farther you must(here's the big explanation of Kormog's[Krogmo's Brother] Sparring of Beings.)

Clear this room, then which ever room you choose contains a puzzle or an ambush. In Room 2(left) you have yourself a puzzle of wits(this room contains a gate puzzle. You have to figure out how to get across one side and back to the other. Switches lay scattered and affect other switches as you hit them. This room, of course, carries monsters of any kind OOO wants. The objective is to get a key of each color [purple,gray,blue] in each room. There is one gate that is a dull, rusted color. The keys HAVE to be put in a certain order, or else the key will be rejcted from the gate. All you have to do is guess the order, which shouldn't take that long. I was thinking of putting in a hint to the order, but that would make the first depth kind of bland).

Room 3(right) is a very calm place to be. I am very sure you wouldn't mind to make a stop there once in awhile. (Room 3 changes EVERYTIME you run Kormog. It changes from an ambush when you step on the party button, to 1 heart pad in the front of the room, but the party button still active. If you press it, the heart pand disappears like a backwards gun puppy animation and it becomes another ambush, or if you're lucky, you'll have 1 heart pad in front of the room with the party button still active. Once you press it, 3 more pads appear. Of course, if you're to finish any of the others, the heart pads will still appear and stay as long as you're in the room. And don't forget the key! When you are done with Room 3, the only way to get out is by the party switch, which closes a gate behind you to keep from going into that room to heal, like it some depths of the clockworks.)

Room 4 (forward center) will be the most challenging of the 4 rooms. Take caution, as you will need to think before you act after every step. (Room 4 will be like any other Arena. I know, kind of plain, but this is at the top of my head. When you are finished, the key will appear on the party button and the gate to the next depth will also appear.) Begin!"

I've only the thought of the first depth. I want to post the rest of the depths, but I would like some feedback. Please, if there's any questions, something that doesn't make sense, if you'd like to correct something for me, or if it's too complicated, please speak up. Critizism is also appreciated. Thanks!
