    151 KB Wasteland Quest Sister Mercy !!8PXK5gMEGho 01/14/10(Thu)23:28 No.7593604  
    Screams. Screams like the damned. The hounds of hell are relentless in their pursuit.

    The storm boils above you, the sky bruised and blackened with its fury. Lightning arcs through the tremendous heavenly towers, sharp white against the darkness. Someone once told you that God was in the storm, that God was in the lightning, in the thunder, in the rain. The air trembles with energy, the fire above seeking to rain down on the earth below.

    The three Wastehounds are close behind you, close enough that you can hear the shriek of their axes, feel the thunder of their steed's hooves, taste the insane fury on their breath. From the back of your undead horse, revolver clenched in one hand, you begin to feel the first tendrils of fear. An explosion of light and dust erupts to your left, but neither your mouth nor those of your pursuers are phased by the strike. The mass of animate, dessicated horseflesh beneath your legs, carrying your north and deeper into the tempest.

    To your immediate north is the abandoned church.
    To your north east is the location known as "Anger's Soul."
    To your north west is the location known as "Hatred's Heart."

    "So it appears I've been brought back once more.

    Every time, the Wastes seem to vomit me up again, send me retching back to life.

    I don't know what killed me this time. Leatherskins? Anars? Psychopaths? Other Wanderers?

    There should be a rifle near me. I'd take it and blow my brains out with it, but...I'd just be sent back.

    (Note: I forgot to update revolver ammunition, after this post, you should only have 1 round left. Don't worry about rolling.)

    You snap a shot off at one of the horsemen, but the round ineffectually ricochets off the skull of his steed. Howling, the man leans to hack at your own horse, and in a fit of fury you lash at him with your revolver, whipping the axe away from your mount.

    Anger begins to boil in your heart as the winds rise to gale force, causing the leatherskin horse to sway against the wind.

    You jerk harshly on the reigns, dragging the horse to a rough stop, its hooves skidding through the dust and mud. Your three pursuers attempt to mimic your actions, but one, like a fool, only succeeds in hurling himself from the saddle. You take advantage of the moment by putting a round in his skull.

    The other two do not immediately charge toward you: you've slain two of their comrades, and they have you cornered. Their leatherskins are obviously fresher than yours and you've nowhere to flee to for miles.

    Do you dismount and fire or attempt to spear them?

    You hurl your now-empty pistol at the Wastehound, but he dodges with contemptuous ease. Ignoring your failure, you decide to continue with the assault anyway, and goad your steed into a charge, spear drawn and ready to pierce his heart.

    Roaring, the man charges toward you, and a curious tension arises between you. The wind dies and a single ray of light pierces the storm to land directly on the tip of your lance. His axe blade seems sluggish, clumsy, as it glides to you, and you duck under the blow and impale him with your own weapon.

    You are suddenly thrown from the saddle to land heavily on the dust. Your steed convulses near you, its neck mostly severed. The final Wastehound smiles, licking his lips as the rain and wind pick up again.

    You scramble to retrieve the weapon from the corpse of the fallen Wastehound, but before you can grasp the blood-slick shaft you are thrown aside once more by your enemies charge. He's obviously toying with you now, sadistic pleasure overtaking anger.

    His axe gleams in the light of another lightning strike. You fear.

    Hopeless anger overwhelms you, and in a fit of fury you draw and throw your combat knife. He dodges once more, and smiles.

    Time slows. You see the dust from his horse as it rises from the pounding hooves. You see the spittle dripping down his chin. You see the hate in his eyes, the insane, godless hate.

    The axe rises. Air crackles. What appears to be a small finger, an angel's touch, rises from the head of the weapon.

    God is in the storm.

    All is white, and the smell of burning flesh invades your nostrils.

    -------

    You wake up, hungry. Night has just fallen, and the carnage of your battle surrounds you. Two leatherskins wander aimlessly, and the scorched corpse of the last Wastehound stains the beautiful Wasteland dust.

    There is a faint glow to the far north, just beyond the horizon.

    You keep the candle close to grip, but lighting it would still take several seconds at least.

    Your first step echoes quietly in the darkness. The floor beneath your feet is smooth and hard, much different than the dust of the Wasteland. The sounds grow slightly louder when you enter.

    You lean into the wall at your left, and the cold feel of bars causes you to flinch slightly. The light seems to get slightly stronger as you stalk further down the hall, your boots echoing against the floor.

    The sounds begin to sound more organic, but its impossible to tell if they're being made by animal, leatherskin, or human.

    You come to an intersection of two halls. Straight ahead, the light fades into complete shadow. To the right, it grows brighter, and the noises seem louder to the left. You judge that you've walked about a quarter of the way through the building.

    A quick right turns you to another hall. Something crunches under your feet, but you can't appear to pick out what it is you're stepping on in the gloom.

    The hall proceeds for a few hundred yards, then opens abruptly into a huge rectangular chamber sunk deep into the earth. Hundreds of thousands of cells ring the walls, all quiet and dark. Hundreds of blue-white lights burn above the cells, illuminating their entrances while obscuring their contents.

    A quick glance down reveals what you've been stepping on: human teeth.

    (And I'll call it a night here. I'm pulling from stuff like House of Leaves, The Road, Mad Max, and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. And I was vaguely annoyed that the quest didn't devolve into masturbation-it would have been interesting.)

    Why would it devolve into masturbation? Also, hate? Let me tell you about hate...

    so that wasn't a joke!
    and that should matter why?

    Because this is /tg/. And besides, it really hasn't come up or been given any importance, I doubt anyone other than those of us from the first thread even knew it.

    But OP if you want to write porn there's a monster girl writing thread going on.

    HEY! I wrote those rules. PORN IS NOT REQUIRED...

    but I've been thinking about pulling a switch on the chart I use...
