Sunson! Melt the snow and ice for dad!

Or find a rock and let's go snowboarding!

EVEEEEN BETTEEEER

AMUSE XOM!

Guys, we should probably inform the loyal people who waited with us for five months whilst we were unconscious of our plans before leaving.

Wish I was paying more attention, I could have helped with this earlier. The mutation table the guy was refering to last thread was in the "Tome of Corruption". I think that this is it: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=sccg7a1d . Relevant Pages begin on 28. Enjoy. I have to admit, it is exceptionally amusing.

You could also load up crawl in wizard mode and drink a potion of mutation for mutation gaining. It doesn't have all the possible mutations that would work in Dorf Quest though.

>>5140178
Ahahaaa, thank you.

>>5140170
You tell Presley that you intend to 1) Become the God of Strength, 2) Appoint him King of Buzzardloved, 3) Appoint Driblis Infinity General, 4) Reclaim Buzzardloved so those can happen, 5) Carve the moon in Garrelf's image out of respect, 6) Find a girlfriend somewhere, and 7) Maybe even resurrect Garrelf.

>>5140170
It think we already did.

>>5140253
Does he knoww that Fate Married him and Krann?

>>5140253
In response, shit-eating grin and ROLL OUT

>>5140265
It doesn't matter.

So... Climbing is not safe, huh? Well shit, good thing we're a dorf! we'll dig our way out. STRIKE THE EARTH!

rolled 21 = 21

Try to gain fire/lightning/light breathe mutation. We're wearing blue eyes white dragon armor, so we have a point of reference to mutate from.

>>5140318

Agreed, lets get some mutations going. its only befiting of Xom's champion.

>>5140270
>>5140128
You take your oven shield in hand and do the only logical thing.

Presley shouts out "Bring back food!" as you leave.

hrmmm. Repostan.

>>5140414
XOM STATUS?

>>5140431
We land in the forest again, right?

Ah snowbank, my nemesis, we meet again.

>>5140440
What about Xom?

Find a village. Walk around like we own the place. Demand that people start preparing a caravan with food and climbing supplies immediatly. Dont make me come over there.

>>5140466
Is he entertained?

>>5140475
No need to antagonize anyone.

>>5140466
How far down the mountain did we get?

Also are the seasons personified in this world? Like a spirit of winter or something? Because maybe we should go kick his ass for this when we become a god.

Lets give our mutation power a try. Maybe it will give us cold resistance. We can always disable it now, right?

Look around. Where are we?

>>5140489
Of course he is.

>>5140518
Xanatos controls Winter, Moradin controls Fall, Ra controls Summer, and Poseidon controls Spring.

>>5140521
Alright, you try out that mutation power...

Attempt: Cold Resistance.
Target: Skin.
Result: Thick fur.

...Partial success! You are now warm.

>>5140601
You now seem to be in the same empty field that you fought Garrelf in, and the same empty field where Driblis' clan used to live before you conquered it.


>animated

>>5140615
Man, look at that beard growth! I'm impressed and pleased.

>>5140615
>fur
>full body beard

fix'd

>>5140615
Not too bad, all in all. So would Moradin be less powerful or more powerful in Fall? Does he have to use his powers to maintain Fall?

Also try upgrading your wings.

So... as long as we're mutating things, let's mutate our wings again. Make them actually useful for something- flight, killing, backscratching, anything's better than "vestigial".

You silly bastards.

You know what you'll end up doing, right? You'll mutate for any minor inconvenience. You'll try to depend on it to solve problems you otherwise would have just MANNED UP and DEALT WITH the good old fashion way. Axe it to death. Yes, even axing cold to death.

You'll end up a shapeless lump of mutations.

>>5140615
So we're a furfag now?

Mutate your beard too just because.

>>5140675
>You'll end up a shapeless lump of mutations.

And what were we before, a dorf-shaped lump of mutations? I don't know if you've noticed, but for a long time Beardbeard has had the sort of form that gives small children recurring nightmares.

>>5140654
Attempt: Functional Wings
Target: Vestigial Wings
Result: Weird Hands

>>5140680
Fool! We can't risk our precious Beard! Unless we made it a Beard of eternal fire. That's be cool.

>>5140715
Target the eye now. Maybe we'll get it to see shit.

>>5140709
Nevertheless, we never relied on our mutations except in extreme cases. Ending up a mutated blob might not be as bad as we think, but ending up a WIMPY mutated blob is something we have to avoid.

>>5140721
It will still be a beard, just not a beard of hair.

>>5140715
How functional are those hands? Could we use them to hold and/or kill things?

>>5140709
AT LEAST IT WAS STILL USEFUL.

Eventually you'll just be a ball. You won't even walk. You'll roll around.

>>5140735
If they're capable of functioning, we can give them a crossbow. We've got an eye on our back, so we can shoot possible back-stabbers.

>>5140760
The eye can't see.

>>5140765
Or CAN IT?

>>5140745
Um, did you miss the part where we can suppress mutations at will? Even if we did end up a lump it wouldn't negatively affect us in any way.

Also, we can choose not to accept mutations if they suck, so I doubt we'd end up that bad.

>>5140723
Attempt: Functional Third Eye
Target: Vestigial Third Eye
Result: Explosion

Third Eye is now a burnt out empty hole.

>>5140777
Nope.
>>5140783
Awesome.

>>5140783
Um.

Let's not try any more for now. This is slightly silly.

Can we hold the Axe of the Pit in our backhands?

If that's too awkward, we could use our limb-extending power in emergencies.

>>5140783
Shit. How hurt are we? I think that's enough messing around with mutations. Head to nearest town that isn't Buzzardloved with a Heracles temple and begin to ask questions. We might see Kav there too.

>>5140783

Lets fill this hole... with an AXE!

>>5140793
Limb extension + weirdass hands + handholds = LOOK AT ME I AM A FUCKING MONKEY

Maybe we could target our minor telekinesis and accidentally make our brain explode.

In the event of mutation, can we use our LIMITED TELEKINESIS to manipulate objects?

Remember, Beardbeard still has his LIMITED TELEKINESIS i think!

>>5140760
You can manipulate the hands just fine, but their lack of an arm attached makes their range of motion pretty limited.

>>5140795
>How hurt are we?
Your back hurts, but overall, you feel fine. The eye socket stings in the cold winter air, but turning off your mutations ends the stinging. Of course, turning off the mutations also makes you liable to freeze to death, so you deal with the pain.

You trudge off to the nearest temple of Heracles - Eridia.

BAHAHAHA.

Eye kerplode.

>>5140808
FUCKING BRILLIANT!

Quad Wielding! What are the penalties for that?

>>5140840
Couldn't we light a torch and shove it in there?

>>5140848

Why? We have no eye back there, its not like we'd be able to see any better after shining some light around.

>>5140826
How do you think you've been carrying everything all this time?

>>5140840
oh man, we had an eye blowout.

I suggest we steal someone else's eye, put it into eye slot, and then MUTATE: INTEGRATE: EYESOCKET

>>5140886
Oh good lord I lol'd.

Hey, maybe we can mutate our Telekineses ability and make it stronger?

>>5140886
..Why did I laugh?

>>5140901
Lets aim something that we know can cause explosions at our brain.

>>5140886

I thought we were hiding it in our beard.

Whats our ETA at our destination? Maybe we should arrange for some food deliveries to the cave from somewhere nearby first.

>>5140886
Wait, is that a cloak in there? Put that shit on, cover up the damn eyehole.

WHY ARE WE NOT WIELDING OUR AXE? A DORF WITHOUT AN AXE IS NOT DOING IT RIGHT. UNLESS THE DORF IS WIELDING A HAMMER.

>>5140886
I assumed it was in the medieval fantasy version of hammerspace.

>>5140915
You haven't been wearing the cloak because it covers your wings and is uncomfortable that way. It'd be even worse with the hands. However, you can wear it just fine now that you can turn off your mutations! But once we get in the - oh look its Eridia.

>>5140941
Nothing needs to be hurt in this three second interval.

>>5140988
Enter Heracles temple. Inspect temple and people inside. If nothing of notice is found go directly to the Priest and ask about Heracles.

>>5140988

First, send some food to the cave
Second, head to Heracles' temple and scope it out

>>5140988

How we feeling tonight boss? Maybe we should have a drink before the fight, to get ourselves nice and pumped. we need to be at MAXIMUM strength here, right?

>>5141005
Third, find the water chip

>>5140988
Go to bar.
Send food and drinks back up to the cave.
Drink.
"Keep it on my tab- I'll pay after I get the 20K in my mountain stronghold back from another dorf."
Go to temple.
Case the joint.

>>5141047
O shit, we have no money. Lets go check the wanted posters.

We should at least be able to replace mutations with other mutations. So we can end up all xombeard.png.

Shouldn't we do something to let us show off Xom's wonderful gifts as we fight and ascend to godhood? Still have troubles about the axe when in mutated form.

>>5141016
>>5141005
Before you head to the temple of Heracles, you decide to spend some cashmonies. Garrelf had 2005 gold on him that he will no longer be needing. You spend a thousand bribing some people to caravan up a mountain in the middle of nowhere with food for your adventuring party. You spend another 5 on a keg of ale, to keep you nice and not-sober for the incoming confrontation.

Mmmm ale.

1000 gold remaining.

>>5141047
>>5141059
I meant to mention the money back when someone asked last thread. Sorry.

>>5141094
Lets try to recharge our breathe weapon.

>>5141094
Ponder the sorts of ale that could be drunk when one is a deity.

>>5141094
Okay, now let's go to the temple.

>>5141109
DAMMIT STOP THAT.

Do you want to explode again?

>>5141094

How is our current equipment. Any shops around here carying any upgrades? I mean, we're using an oven door for a shield or something , are we not?

Yo know what's weird? We've never been to Liam. We could probably do something there for information on/way to kill Heracles.

>>5141143
*You not Yo.

Alright, to the temple of Heracles! You venture inside, to find a pair of priests, a small pile of rocks, and an open bottle of glue between the two of them.

>>5141137
Of course we're using an oven shield.

>>5141178
Ask what happened here.

>>5141178

What in the FUCK are you two doing?

>>5141178
looks like they're building some symbolic big rock thingy. Soemthing about being able to lift all those pebbles and the glue meaning that they could lift that rock if they really wanted to.

>>5141178
Inquire what the Xom is going on here

I remember.

Kav did a very clever thing to join up.

>>5141178

Clearly someone broke the rock. Walk in and shatter the fuck out of that thing, then grind the pebbles to dust. We want to prove ourself as a worthy challenger after all.

What's with all this talking and asking questions? We are here to kick a god's ass right, break that poor attempt at a rock apart and threaten them next.

>>5141193
>>5141195
"Some bitch broke the testing rock when she wanted to become a follower of Heracles. We're putting it back together."

>>5141246

Re-break the rock with that priest, he complains too much.

>>5141246
Our course of action is clear. Shatter the rock into thousands of pieces.

>>5141246
We could probably do the Find Kav Quest right now. So let's ask if he knew the name of the girl and where are they.

>>5141266, then >>5141259

>>5141251
"Just get a new rock!"

>>5141292

Let us now issue our challenge.

>>5141292
They're not going to be very co-operative now, are they? Mind you they do respect strength and stuff...

>>5141292
I bet they never even THOUGHT about just getting a new rock.

If Heracles is as dumb as his priests we should have no problem at all in taking him down.

>>5141292

As soon as Heracles comes out, use the arm-extending thing from Xom to poke his eye out fast.

Can we mutate folk? Lets mutate these folk.

>>5141292

So... Did we pass the challenge? Or is something going to do something about us just killing one of that somethings priest?

*Hem hem*

"HERACLES! I have come to KILL YOU!"

The priests lament in the background. One says he is quitting.

>>5141350

Tell the quitting priest that Xom's loving embrace awaits him. Kill the fuck out of the other one.

Lets mutate the end of our arm into a hammer.

>>5141350

In b4 no response or he sends someone to do his work for him.

Like a bitch.

>>5141356

Do the opposite of this. They're going to be our priests in a few minutes, after all.

>>5141350
Grab the still faithful priest.

"You get your god to talk to me right fucking now, and I'll make you a high priest or something when I become your god."

I finish crafting an amulet.

It is crafted of jet. It menaces with spikes of granite. It is decorated with rock lobster shell. It depicts an image of a dwarf. It depicts an image of a drum. The dwarf is playing the drum.

>>5141350
Beardbeard gains divinity!

Everyone has quit Beardbeard's religion!

Xom is amused!

Heracles answers your summons. "Wahaha, the little beard thinks he can kill me? Maybe. Maybe. Let's fight, little beard."

>>5141375
Do Gods actually need followers? They get their power from the shards after all. They probably just keep Followers so there's people to kiss their ass and do work for them.

Actually we should ask Fate where the shards came from.

>>5141384
"You are mocking my beard. Don't think I'll let you go easy."

>>5141384

Reach through the thought bubble and poke his eye out.

>>5141384
"Sure thing, one-eye. Let's call up Fate and Xom. Fate needs to know and Xom will get a kick out of it..."

>>5141384
Very well! Where shall we fight? It must be a level playing field like the place we fought the pansy magic god. I forget his name.

Also we fight with close combat weaponry, yes? Much manlier this way. You do not wish to be un-manly do you, Heracles?

>>5141384

Can we challenge him to a drinking contest?

>>5141399

This.

>>5141399

Seconded

>>5141384
If we are allowed to mutate other then atempt using power of mutation to mutate Heracles face into a vagina.

The room starts to shake.

>animated

>Wahaha, the little beard thinks he can kill me? Maybe. Maybe.
I've yet to meet one who can kill bullet.

Put his eye out. Come and get me motherfucker.

Oi, and was that a Heavy Weapons Guy reference? So awesome.

>>5141416
We might want to leave the shaking building.

Wait.

He's coming through. HE'S COMING THROUGH

>>5141416
Huh. Shows how powerful Xom is, Xom just waltzed out of the bubble.

>>5141432

Hell, we ripped a hole in reality with less effort than this guys is giving.

>>5141416

He's coming through. Make an attack of opportunity to trip him.

>>5141384
HEY! Is that "little" a short joke?

This bastard is SO going down.

>>5141430
>>5141432
>>5141445
>>5141450
"No, I not come through. You come to me."

>>5141461
Oh.

Well then, that is interesting!

>>5141461
Throw off cloak, activate mutations, and dive in axe first, wailing like a motherfucking berserker.

>>5141461

Come into wherever the hell we are going with axe(s) blazing.

>>5141474
SET YOUR AXE ON FIRE

>>5141461
WIELD AXE! AIM FOR THE EYE.

>>5141461

Don't fall in, dive in. Activate mutations, swing axe lots.

Gnome, what powers do we have right now?

>>5141469
>>5141474
You come down with a heavy swing, striking through his shoulder.

>>5141510
He will surely counterattack with haste and power. Be ready for it!

>>5141510
Tell him his shoe laces are untied. Slash his eye with the axe when he looks down.

>>5141510
Throw galaxy at Heracles

>>5141510
Assess situation:
Where are we? What else is here?

>>5141510

DO NOT STOP MOVING AND SWINGING

Gnome, what powers do we have available right now?

>>5141510

If any parts of our body get damaged, just force mutate over it so that we never actually take any damage but rather just become more and more mutated.

>>5141510
JUMP UPWARDS IMMEDIATLY

"Stop with the swinging, its useless in here."

Kill the medic first! KILL THE FUCKING MEDIC FIRST!

>>5141551
I though we were going to fight. What are you, chicken?

>>5141551

Fuck the axe, activate berserker rage, jump inside that hole we cut and tear him from the inside out with pure dorfen anger.

>>5141551
OH

OH SHIT.

NO.

NO NO NO NO NO.

THIS IS BAD.

He isn't going to challenge us to a battle. It will be an intellectual challenge.

>>5141551
Hey! No one takes away a dwarf's AXE!

Wait. Are we, like, not on a level playing field here like when we fought Glittergold? This could be trouble.

>>5141551

Keep moving and swinging. Ask why not. And whether or not he's packing a gatling gun.
>>5141491
>>5141528
OUR POWERS, WHAT ARE THEY?

>>5141572
>God of strength

>Intellect

But... But I thought we were fighting a different Herakles.

>>5141572
What's the problem? He doesn't look so smart.

>>5141560
>I though we were going to fight. What are you, chicken?
"No, no, I not be like chicken, I be like rock. Can't kill here."

You realize you are in the Neutral Room.

"I like you, little beard. Got spunk. Where want to fight?"

>>5141586
Oh, good. Just the neutral room. Okay, let's accept his challenge.

>>5141586
"Somewhere simple and fitting for your fall. Atop a mountain, preferebly, or, barring that, a large stadium."

>>5141586
>"Where want to fight?"

This looks like people will have to see it. Teleport straight into some circus arena with a full audience. Plenty of families with children will witness our triumph!

>>5141586
Oh.

Phew.

IN A GRAND ARENA WITH THOUSANDS OF SPECTATORS

>>5141596
Second this, only in a big gladiator ring.

>>5141586

Buzzardloved.

>>5141586

I am reading all of his lines in the Heavy's voice.

I love you so much Gnome.

Oh, and I vote In The Town. Because collateral damage and improvised weaponry is the shit.

>>5141586
On a level playing field, where it will be a fair fight. Possibly in a canyon or valley or something of the like. With lots of pillars. Lot and lots of very tough pillars.

>>5141604

Why play in a level playing field when he's giving us choice of venue and we can find someplace where he is at a disadvantage?

>>5141586
You know, had we met Heracles sooner, I think he and Beard would have gotten along great.

There must be a way to take his godhood but not his life.
Can we ask Fate about that?

>>5141612
Technically, he asked where we wanted to fight, but that doesn't mean he'll automatically agree to wherever we specify.

>>5141604
You mean, the pillar of infinite pillars?

IIRC, old dueling rules has challenger setting up location and challengee setting up medium.

>>5141577
So whiny. Haven't updated this in a while.

Our mutations suck.

>>5141600
"WAAAHAHAHA! Good choice! I like it! Let's go, little beard."

>>5141687

General strategy:
Take out his eye, heal any wounds you receive by mutating over them, we already saw our axe can hurt him, so go for that. Maybe throw those combatants at him for fun.

>>5141687
TIMBERSERKER! FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS BY ALE BEARD AXE PRIDE!

After that it should be pretty much over.

>>5141694
TAKE ONE OF THE NEARBY COMBATANTS

HURL IT AT HERACLES

*invoking "Anything is a Weapon" here*

>>5141694
This.

Also, turn on all mutations. That fur gives you an AC bonus in Crawl, so yeah.

>>5141703
>combatants
>seats

hurr to the durr there.

>>5141713

Too late

>>5141703
We can use the combatants as weapons, just not the audience

I bet Gnome is getting tired.

>>5141687
GRAB THE MEN ALREADY FIGHTING THERE.

THROW THEM AT THE GOD.

>>5141723

Yes, probably but unfortunately for him, this isn't a very appropriate stopping point. That being said, he will probably stop it soon anyways.

CHARGE HIM
TIMBERSERKER
DEFORESTATION
SWING AXE A LOT
SWING AXE MORE
MOVE AND SHO-
JUST KEEP MOVING

Cliffhang it and continue the fight next session. This has gone one long enough.

>>5141802
The next session should be sooner than normal, though.

>>5141814
>>5141802
Agre-
*collapse*

I would not be against stopping right now I'm tired myself.

It is jsut before the big fight. Why not?

Man I haven't drawn Beardbeard in a while...

>>5141814
This man is correct. I now lack a job; sessions will be twice a week for a while. TUESDAYS AND SATURDAYS, MARK YOUR CALENDARS.

In addition... thoughts on the .gif's? They look neat but are a time consuming bitch to make.

>animated

>>5141922
>In addition... thoughts on the .gif's? They look neat but are a time consuming bitch to make.

They may look neat but most definitely not neat enough to warrant for the time and effort. Avoid.

The gifs are cool, but should be saved for situations where they would be really awesome.

>>5141922
You should probably just make .gifs of cool scenes after the fact rather than stopping the story for them.

>>5141922
Avoid, they're pretty cool, but you could put in so much more into a session if you avoid em.

If you need gifs, consider making them beforehand, perhaps.

.gifs are the best part! I love 'em.

Oh thank god for the end. I was getting exhausted..

Must.. sleeeeeeep...

>>5141985
That would be railroading.

>>5141976
I like this idea. ALRIGHT, taking suggestions on DQ moments you want to be animated. I have a few ideas (Timberserker on Musclebeard, KoBold and the Beautiful, and Beard, Axe, Pride... Ale on Garrelf), but want to see fan suggestions first.

Also they take a few tries to get just right. Bothersome.

>>5142020
Well ya can't have one move be a gif every time, no point. Beard Ale Pride should NOT be gifed, it must be seperate.

Save them for the most badass, awesome, or dramatic. You've been a good judge in the past so go with your gut.

>>5142020
Finishing moves are usually nice to see animated.

I notice most of the quest...uh..authors (weavers?) are doing more animation these days.

A startling, but awesome trend.

>>5142032
I wasn't asking for moves that would always be animated later. I was asking for specific moments in the past you want to see animated, and I will re-make those moments for future ultra happy after session fun times.

>>5142085
I'd say go for Beard, Axe, Pride and Ale on Garrelf.

>>5142085
sorry 8 am and i didn't sleep

>>5142093
what this dude says

I think it'd be awesome to see Beardbeard using Glittergold as a godsled animated.

>>5142085
Kav blasting anything with the boys and Coco getting hugged.

>>5142085
Girls of Dorf Quest in undergarments.... animated!

>>5142062
Reaver started it. I am the only one to continue the trend. However, since I am also the only questfag still posting here on 4chan, that makes sense. The rest of us moved over to tgchan.

>>5142093
>>5142099
>>5142096
These will happen.

>animated

>>5142126

Which ironically worked out for you, since tgchan asploded.

>>5142133
Huh? It's working fine.

>>5142157
Damn it, stop fixing things!
