Oh dear, it appears Lizard Quest has been allowed to slide all the way to page 6. I shall bump it this once, but if it remains unnoticed much longer, I shall simply give up for tonight. I may try again another night, but if it is ignored twice, I shall conclude that /tg/ has lost interest in Lizard quest and discontinue it.

woo I found it Mein Gott ve vill have vun vundervul time

well the wall probably has security so lets go down through security tunnel since I'd rather deal with those in charge rather than slaves

lizard quest guy I think you should stick with weekly or bi-weekly maybe do other journey's if you feel up to it since daily threads don't work

>>13402790
I'm definitely going to do this. New schedule as of today, so even if daily threads would work with the rest of /tg/, I wouldn't be able to keep it up. I'm thinking Friday nights, since I'm pretty much busy every night of the week for now.

>>13402699
You dive under the water and search for the secret underwater entrance. Roll 1d100 for search.

>>13402876
Derp, I meant Saturday nights.

>>13401835
sorry for not being able to stick with the quest last night, shit got real at the apartment.

rolled 42 = 42

well here's to taking chances

I've been following, but didn't see part 3. Summary, please?

>>13402876

>>13402927
The Great Potato Lizard fled town after Ouroboros killed Henry the wizard. We then swam downriver until we came to a city. After an incident with a magical cage trap, Douggle wrecked shit and blew a hole in the wall of the city. Hundreds of elves pour out of the hole in the wall, trying to escape, but they're captured by many-armed constructs, which the Great Potato Lizard then destroys. Unfortunately, the elves are killed in the battle.

>>13402922
After several minutes, you surface for air, having failed to find the entrance.
Nothing's stopping you from searching until you find it, but keep in mind that whatever's in the city knows you're here now, and the longer you spend searching for the entrance, the more time they have to prepare.

ONE FA/TG/UY HAS BECOME INTERESTED IN LIZARD QUEST

I will monitor this thread while doing other things. If it proves interesting, I will stay.

>>13402987
what do we need to roll to find it

>>13403003
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/13366099/
it's been slow but read this for the full effect

rolled 62 = 62

>>13403022
oh well I will try again regardless

i say give it another try, if that fails, make a new plan so we don't get raped.

>>13403022
You have no idea how cleverly the entrance is hidden, and as such cannot guess what the DC might be.

>>13403031
you have DISQUALIFIED this fa/tg/uy from posting in this thread.

I am busy.

Please archive this thread for later perusal, as I am busy... reading... archives?

>>13403057
No dice. You fail to find the entrance.

>>13403086
let's clamber up that wall since this is getting us nowhere

>>13403083
All archived Lizard Quests can be found here:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Lizard Quest

Also, everyone should keep in mind that saying vaguely "We search underwater for the entrance" will have a significantly higher DC than "We dive to the river bottom and feel for anything unusual"
Of course the problem with being more specific is that you might be specific in the wrong way.

>>13403114
this, but sneaky as possible. try to find grab holes and what not.

>>13403114
You easily scale the wall. A moment later you reach the mud plug. You can hear a faint noise like machinery, but you don't know whether it's directly on the other side of the plug or farther away, although it sounds like it must be massive.

>>13403141
You're a Lesser Nonspecific, one of the most talented climbing lizards. You don't need any silly "grab holes"

>>13403144
lets do the unexpected and climb that entire wall and go over the top which will also let us see their facilities

>>13403172
You sure about that? This wall is fucking huge. You can't even see the top.

>>13403144

Ask the superdragon in our tail what he thinks we should do.

>>13403194
does ouroboros have an explosion rune if so we will take out a section of wall (doesn't matter where) then dig in through the mud

>>13403225
You consult Ouroboros on the matter. "We've seen these constructs in action! They're no match for my magic or your claws. Even if some are designed for combat, I think we can still destroy them. There's no need to waste time climbing all the way up this wall."

This feels a bit like railroading to me, but it's not actually meant that way.
Honestly though, I didn't actually consider the possibility of you climbing all the way over the wall, so if you pick that I'll take another minute or two to reply while thinking that through.

>>13403286
You ask him.
"Of course I can create explosion runes. We'd need some sort of trigger, but I can sort that out easily enough."

>>13403295

We were strong enough to destroy a house just by getting bigger, we are strong enough to destroy this wall.
I want to destroy it.

>>13403342
Do you indeed?
And how do you intend to do so?

>>13403342
second. RIP AND TEAR

>>13403313
ok then lets set up runes around where we will enter (gonna go with the given from earlier) and any simple trigger like 10 seconds after going past it a second time then dig through just in case an escape route is necessary

>>13403358
First, try to blow it up.
If that doesn't work, RIP AND TEAR.

>>13403366
Agreed!

>>13403362
Ouroboros burns a huge rune of explosion into the wall, and activates it. You quickly climb horizontally along the wall and begin to dig through the mud.
It's lucky too, because not even a Lesser Nonspecific could have held onto the stone wall when it shook like the explosion made it. The mud, however, is softer, and you are able to dig deep enough in to hold on, despite the shaking. After several minutes of digging, you finally break through. The wall is nearly 15 feet thick!
You see about a dozen constructs circled around a cracked section of the wall. The rune of explosion may not have broken all the way through, but it has distracted the guards while you tunneled through the mud.These guards are very different from the constructs you fought outside. They are built like centipedes, with an upright humanoid torso. Imagine a centaur, but more horrifying in every way. For arms, each construct has a dozen jointed spears on each side of its body.
You have about a minute before the guards realize that you are not coming through the damaged section of the wall and look back in your direction.

>>13403475
ok considering their body they will likely tangle around us quickly on flat empty space so are their any buildings around

>>13403475
look for weakspots in their contruction (joints, exposed areas, etc) and try to take as many down as quickly as lizardly possible. then if we have to, find a place where their advantage in numbers is weakened.

>>13403475

Shit, spears are bad news. They may be fragile, but we don't want to become a pincushion.

What's beyond the wall? Is it a city, factory, what? If we stick to the wall, we could climb out of spear range and have Ouroboros throw green fire down as we run along the inside of the wall.

>>13403526
You see a large flat area. The ground is about 5 feet below you. You appear to have broken into a square room about 100 yards by 100 yards. The ceiling is about 100 feet above the floor. Huge double doors stand open on the far side of the room, but you cannot see out, as the doorway is filled with thick smoke.

>>13403568
Also, the floor in the room (where the shaft supporting the giant wheel outside was) is fucked up. Rubble and twisted scrap metal litter the room.

>>13403565
this

>>13403568
considering our size we should be able to make the 100 yards to the door quickly (we don't want to be known enemies of the people in charge)

>>13403737
See
>>13403568
>>13403587

>>13403755
You dart across the room before the guards notice. As you enter the thick smoke in the doorway, you are greeted by the sounds of machinery all around you. Steam is whistling, magical energy is humming, and moving parts are clanking and shrieking. You can only see about 10 feet in front of you.
You stand in a sloping tunnel. There are 3 ways you can go in the tunnel. Up, down, and back into the room with the guards.

>>13403790

Definitely up.

Always take the path leading up.

>>13403790
Let's go down, most sinister factories are in basements

>>13403875
we could take the high road while Douggle takes the low road (I kid truly this will end up with everyone dead)

>only have seen LQ1 before this thread
> thoroughly enjoed it
>Lizard Quest FOUR?
>AMAZING PROGRESS
>FUCK YES YOU ARE THE BEST OP EVER

>>13403875
As you head up the tunnel, you run into a group of elves. There are about 20 of them, and following closely behind is one of the multi-armed constructs you saw outside.

>>13403899
Feels good to be appreciated. Today was fucking awful, but running Lizard Quest has cheered me up to no end.

>>13403907
ignore it remember we are trying to build a construct for Ouroboros we are not gonna ruin everything out of the goodness of our heart

>>13403907
Get tailking to blast the construct, then ask the elves what's going on in a dignified and unconcerned way. gentlemen do not lose their cool.

>>13403941
>>13403950
OHOHO! It appears we have a conflict of interest! Which will it be, gentlemen?

>>13403958
potato lizard care little for the well being of elves. ignore them

>>13403975
But Potato Lizard is a gentleman who will stop at nothing to protect the innocent!

>>13404009
Exactly. Gotta let these elves believe we care, then we can get the information out of and find this guy making the spellbots

>>13403958

GIANT POTATO LIZARD IS A KIND AND GENTLE BEAST.

We rescue the elves, destroy the construct, and ask them how to escape. Ask them how many more elves are enslaved?

We are a potato lizard, true, but we are also an ABOLITIONIST potato lizard.

>>13404064
we are also a potato lizard on a quest

>>13404009
>>13404037
>>13404064
You charge forward and the elves scatter. You grab the construct's body in your mouth and bite down, crushing it completely.
The elves stare at you fearfully, not sure what to do.
"Good day, gentlecreatures. Pray tell, do you know how many of your kind are enslaved here?"
They stare at you blankly, then one of them says, "All are here. All serve the Steel King. In his shadow we labor. In his image will we be remade." They all stare at you for a moment longer, and then seem to snap out of a daze. "Wait - you killed the guard! We're... we're free! Thank you, stranger, whatever you may be. There are hundreds of thousands of us imprisoned here, we build machines for the Steel King. We don't know exactly what he is, but he takes the machines we make and enchants them into weapons. When one of us grows old, we are fitted with an outer body and our souls are drained to make a construct like the ones that guard the slaves."
A loud CLANG from some machinery nearby startles the speaker and he drops to the ground in a fetal position. A moment later, he gets back up and asks, "Do... Do you know a way out? How we might escape?"

>>13404213
What the FUCK.

I keep forgetting my goddamn NAME!

>>13404213
ok so I was wrong earlier we can't just ire this guy too much brainwashing magic can Ouroboros do the required magic himself if so it's time for some Douggle-fu to take out the already existing constructs and some niceties to get the Elves to create one more construct

>>13404213

Tell them I might, but I'd still like to know more about the Steel King first. I may be able to send them back along a safe path and then venture forth.

>>13404274
Holy shit. Do you know what would do you a world of good? It's this magical stuff called "punctuation"

You may have heard of it.

>>13404297
"We... We've told you all we know. Can you help us? Please? If you can't, or won't, just kill me now. I'm not going to waste the rest of my life working for nothing, only to be turned into one of THOSE," he gestures at the fallen construct, "when I'm too old to be of use!"

>>13404321
Alright, this name-forgetting is just getting ridiculous.

>>13404321
>>13404321
>4321

Send them back along the way I came. They'll figure it out. Tell them it's that or stick around until I come back from exploring.

Venture forth. If there are a lot of these elves in there, they might have more of an idea where the Steel King is.

>>13404358
You're forgetting the scorpion-men guards. The elves would get raped.

>>13404382
Shit.

I tell them their guess at a way out is as good as mine. Suggest we all venture forth, perhaps there's another entrance/exit somewhere else.

>>13404358

As this guy says.

Inform them that you've breached the outer wall, and that it leads right out to the river.

THEN SALLY FORTH TO SLAY THE STEEL KING HIMSELF.

>>13404321
Tell them you need their help in building a trap. Get them to wait in the room, and make cries so the constructs rush in. Then, the elves escape through pre hollowed out sections of the wall, and you collapse the building on the constructs. In the resulting confusion, have superdragontailthing blow up another section of wall, while you head up and inwards.


Sound decent?

>>13404398
>>13404382

Ah, he's right. I take back what I said, we'll ALL FORGE AHEAD TOGETHER.

>>13404433
The elves escape through the hole if that wasn't clear, btw. Maybe have them wait in the forest for you afterwards? They could be useful, who knows.

>>13404433
Interesting idea, but it looks like the majority wants to forge ahead with the elves.

"The way out is blocked by battle-constructs. However, I'm sure we can find another way out. If you come with me and assist me in finding the Steam King, I will protect you as best I can."
They agree after a long moment of discussion amongst themselves.
"This way." One of them walks ahead, following the tunnel up until it opens into a huge open space.
You are standing on a platform overlooking a huge pit. A giant tower, covered with moving parts and machinery stands in the middle of the pit. Sunlight is being focused by carefully arranged crystals on the tower, and redirected by a series of mirrors to somewhere at the base of the tower. All around the pit you can see constructs moving and working. You don't see any slaves for a moment, but then you spot them working around the edges. The constructs clearly don't allow them to get too close to the tower, as the parts they carry in are taken immediately and the elves are practically thrown out of the area.
"We believe that the Steel King is at the base of the tower."
It is a huge drop. You could never survive falling that far, but you think you could climb down the wall safely.

>>13404635
I'm all for climbing down the wall.

>>13404635
Let's climb us some wall! (also, you said "steam king" instead of steel king)

>>13404880
>>13404691
Alright, I have to go sleep and shit, we'll pick up again Saturday night, between 3:00-4:00 AM GMT
Archiving this.
