CURRENT STATS:

Living armor (Your body)
>Regenerative
You can heal minor damage such as gashes and holes punched through
>Arcane hearing
You can hear significantly better than your average mortal, but even that has its limits for the moment
>Arcane sight
You can see things that are normally left unseen. (Magic, spirits, ect.) Has its limits.
>Consume
You can consume things to gain power. The only thing you have tried it on was a normal steel sword.
>Creation
You gave birth to a horse fueled by the souls of the damned. You might be able to do similar things.
>Conversion
Your Glaive is now covered in the same substance as the armor, increasing its power tenfold (Can cut through rock, its as unbreakable as your armor. The blade glows a ghostly white)
>Flames of manipulation
Your newest power. Surrounds your body in flames that you can control completely, even the temperature. You mainly use them for defense at the moment, but you can do anything with them. When inactive, it appears there is a cloud of shadow around us. Mercy also gets this to a lesser extent, it surrounds his legs protecting them. (But a flaming hoof the the face will probably hurt a fuck of a lot more than a normal one.)

Mercy(Your Horse)
A horse you gave birth to, who has the soul of a young boy we killed a short while after the entombment. Fueled by the souls of the damned who inhabited the ruined city.
>Can use the flames to a lesser extent
Uses them to walk on water, and shield his legs from harm.
>No other upgrades

Glaive (Your weapon, no name currently)
>Converted into the same material as your body.
>Blade has a ghostly white glow and can cut through stone
>Same regenerative properties as your armor.
>Can imbue it with the fire that surrounds you

You slowly stop laughing as you bring Mercy to a halt and take in the predicament you are currently in, while Mercy starts lapping at the water that surrounds you.

There are no notable landmarks around you, save more floating islands, and black clouds far to the east. What sort of calamity could have torn the land asunder like is evident, and you flash back to rising stone walls surround the city.

Mercy is startled by the hissing of the water as you explode into a crimson blaze of fury. But it soon subsides, as you realize the mage my very well be dead after all this time. But enough though, you would rather not be caught in what looks like a storm that approachs.

>What do you do?
(From now on I will specify when we need to roll)

Wrestle a shark.

>>17457429

We head East.

We are born of curses, but our first act was to slay the rich, the corrupt, the undeserving.

We head East to find the damned, and reap what they sown.

(Can we be Batman? Please? Please?)

>>17457471
Anyone else? There were a few more people in last nights thread, maybe I started too early....

>>17457530
Just throwing silly suggestions out there to bump it. I missed a good portion of last nights thread, mind filling me in? Sounds like we
>Got imprisoned.
>Some stupid orcs broke us out.
>Did some badass shit.

>>17457516
Just because you are a Black knight, doesn't mean you are evil. Look at the story behind Mercy.

Fuck yes this continues!

Since we don`t know shit and I don`t think we can return to the islands again, I say just go in one direction until you find land.

>>17457429
>can control temperature of flames

Make them cold. Very, very cold.

Cold enough to freeze the ocean as we cross it.

>>17457530

It's 6 pm over here central US bro, maybe a teeny bit too early.

But regardless, I was the guy who RULE OF COOL'd our way into galloping across the water....as well as the guy who turned our sight towards the world's most bitching cape.

>>17457429
Can Mercy fly?

>>17457559
No. [spoilers]but who knows what kinds of crazy shit the living armor can make things do[spoilers]

BLACK KNIGHT QUEST 2: THE QUEST FOR BITCHING CLOAKS.

>>17457555
The triple 5s do not lie.

We must become the master of heat, and use it as a weapon to destroy the corrupt in any place we find them.

>>17457572

I'd prefer if we don`t go so crazy with that, rule of cool is great but we shouln`t exaggerate

>>17457516
>>17457551
Excuse my retarded sounding post, I was agreeing with you. We are sort of batman right now.

>>17457572
Well, try make Mercy run in the air

>>17457530
Guy from last night's thread who wanted to consume the steel sword here.

We should investigate the ruins of the orc ship we cannon-balled through to see if we can find out how they got up to the island. Maybe we could use the same techniques they did to get to a new island before the storm hits

>>17457541

That's about right.

Since we can apparently control the heat of the air around us, create super-heated air behind us to lower its pressure, and use the resulting draft, combined with Mercy's ridiculous gallop speed, to take off. Alternatively, since we haven't established that Mercy uses the same skeletal structure as a regular horse, make like skele-copters and use his (her?) legs to take off.

>>17457596
>Horse with four propeller legs flying the the sky.

ohgodican'tstoplaughing.

>>17457596
You want us to become some sort of twisted visage of santa riding a reindeer?

rolled 68 = 68

Rolling for Cold Fire.

I want the ocean to freeze behind us as we storm across it. Clouds forming overhead, snow and lightning intermingling.

They will know we're coming, whoever 'they' are.

>>17457595
I should point out that you kind of caught in on fire as well. But if you want, we can sift through burning sinking wreckage.

Rolling 1d100 for Cold Fire bullshit, imagine how hardcore that would look to terrified soldiers.

Look for a map.

That's it.

Then we head towards the nearest land mass.

Rolling for thermodynamic mastery.

>>17457658
>>17457659

You realize that the ship you just blew through may have something useful in it, and spur Mercy around and trot back to it.

Approaching the flaming wreckage, you wonder something could burn so quickly when your flames are not very hot at all at the moment, at least not around yourself. Then it hits you that you created so much heat trying to shape the rock. You try the opposite.

A piercing blue flame erupts around you and the horses hooves, the hissing of the water stops, but Mercy starts to sink in. Lowering it even more brings the flames to a very midnight blue in color. Spreading slowly at first, then quickening as you trot forward, a thick sheet of ice begins to form over the surface, strong enough for you to ride on.

wading into the middle of the wreckage, you lower the temperature in the air this time, and soon a small patch of dark clouds start swirling above you pouring rain down on the flames.


>Roll 1d40 to see if you find anything

>>17457759

Searching for either loot or a target to slay for justice.

>>17457778
>>17457771

Scrounging through the wreckage you dismay to find that what the sea hadn't already claimed before you froze the ship in place, the fire had taken before.

Striking out at a pile of rubble in frustration, it shifts to reveal a lockbox, seeming untouched by the fire.

A quick strike and the lockbox is opened, revealing its precious cargo.

An assortment of gold, gems and silk. among other things.

>Action?

rolled 15 = 15

>>17457858

Goddamnit, trying again.

>>17457867

It's useless to us, but let's keep it anyway

Absorb the silk, turn it into a bitchin living metal cloak.

This.

>>17457875

>Silk
>metal cloak

I support the idea though

>>17457879
Taking up a gem, you think back to the sword you ate before, and decide to consume it.

Just as it enters the clasp of the black tendrils, you begin to feel something.....something strange. It begins welling up inside you until...UNTIL! The gem pops out, undigested. It seem you cannot consume this type of gem. Upon closer inspection, your vision tells you no magic at all surrounds it, perhaps that had something to do with it?

>>17457885
>>17457875
>>17457884

Reaching over to the fine pieces of folded silk, you try your luck with that. And sure enough you are rewarded as a crimson red cloak bursts out from your shoulders, fixed with the same spares spikes that adorn your armor.

You make up your mind to head towards the darkened sky to the east, as it is a direction to head in.

rolled 34 = 34

>>17458000

Sure

Why is that quests with retardedly low rolls always end up being amazing?

>>17457989
>>17457982
Feeling a slight change in the air, you briskly turn around, only to see the gaping maw of razor sharp teeth flying straight towards you.

Stepping backwards, your foot catches in a fallen plank and you fall flat on your back. Gazing up at the white behemoth flying at you, time seems to slow down. Perhaps this isn't so bad? You have live far longer than any man should have to endure, committed atrocities that can never be forgiven. A chance to finally die. Letting your consciousnesses fade away slightly, as substitute for closing your none existent eyes, you are jarred back be a rather... unpleasant pressure from your side.

Looking over, you see that in your fall, your cloak went the opposite direction, with the inward side facing your aggressor, and now said aggressor was lost halfway to his tail IN the cloak.

>You have a large great white shark sticking out of your cloak. What do you do?

rolled 32 = 32

>>17458092

Rolling 1d40 to pummel the living shit out of the shark while it's flailing around in our cloak.

>>17458092

Freeze dry that bitch.

The only thing left will be a frost burnt desicated corpse.

rolled 79 = 79

>>17458121

Rolling 1d100 for this in case we are not using 1d40 anymore

rolled 36 = 36

Get down with yourself, boogie it up and jazz hands away your problems.

>>17458135
>>17458121
Flaberghasted at the new-found ability of your cloak, and mildly enraged at the fact a shark is now flailing around wildly inside you, you grasp its tail, and haul that thing out, ready to unless a few centuries worth of pent up frustrations.

Tossing, the remains to Mercy, you observe and note that either the horse doesn't eat, or doesn't eat things that have been pummeled into a reddish paste.
>>17457874
Deciding to us your new holding area, you grab the remainder of the lockbox and stash it away. Space seems limited in the cloak, you note, but there is still a considerable amount left.

Mounting Mercy, you look back at the wreckage, then to the black horizon you will be heading to.

>Is there anything else that you want to do before heading out?

>>17458212
Oh, I forgot.

>You have acquired the Hammer-space Cloak!
Total space is equal to that of half a shark. Whatever that is.

>>17458212

Let's get this show on the road! We have a Legend to make! An Empire to not serve! Bitches to seduce and ride off into the night leaving them wondering what could have been if we had flesh!

>>17458212
can we eat the shark?

>>17458212

Let's just go and find something interesting, mainly people to ask why the fuck are chunks of earth floating over the ocean.

rolled 27 = 27

>>17458212
>>17458237

Rolling 1d40 to think of a sweet catchphrase we can utter mournfully when we're about to begin cracking skulls.

Also I vote we name our glaive Forgiveness, it goes with Mercy.

rolled 37 = 37

>>17458288
Yeha, but it wasn't forged of forgiveness.

We named the horse mercy because it was born of mercy.

>>17458212

>>17458288
seconded

>>17458288
Let's call it Retribution.

Or Justice.

>>17458288

Let's stay taciturn, centuries of isolation after genocide don`t make for a good poet.

>>17458288
You can't really "utter" things. Its very loud and echoy, like a disembodied voice talking out of a suit of armor.

Just pointing that out, but if you want a catchphrase go for it, same with the name of the Glaive.

>>17458324
seconding justice as our glaive's name

We don't need a catchphrase.

We shall be a silent guardian.

The sound of our laughter shall be the most horrific thing any shall here. Why must we speak when gestures and our glaive are good enough?

>>17458288
>>17458319
>>17458324
>>17458363
Roll for tiebreaker.

rolled 28 = 28

>>17458342

Actually, this guy has a point. It might be cooler to say nothing at all.

At most, we should scream like rusted metal gears grinding against each other at maximum volume.

This

Altough we should first decide what to do with our new freedom before anything else, we don`t know shit about the world in this time.


Rolling for not giving a name to the glaive, Mercy was a special case, we won`t be telling people the name of our weapons.

>>17458422
Nice roll. Alright, starting to write now.

Resolving that you need to find out what has happened to the world while you were locked away, you spur Mercy into a fast gallop, leaving a frozen ship and a trail of frigged ice in your wake, you ride towards the darkening sky, and even darker clouds.

What awaits you? You have no idea. What shall you do with your earned freedom? You are conflicted in that part, but what you do know is that now you will live by YOUR rules, under YOUR jurisdiction, and none shall tell you otherwise.

Gripping the reigns of Mercy, you ride faster still, before anything else, you have questions that need answering.


I hope you guys don't mind me timeskiping a bit, until something important happens, otherwise its really just you riding across the ocean, facing off against oceany things.

rolled 32 = 32

>>17458543

Go for it.

>>17458543

We can tell stories of our adventures in the sea (if we ever talk to people we are not killing)

>>17458571
>>17458566
Verywell, taking a brief break to go use the bathroom.

And so you rode, viewing many ocean wonders in your travels.

It took about a day to reach under the blackened clouds, and a little less than that before you were in complete darkness, save your baleful blue flame and visor.

Reaching the end of the second day, you wondered if it was to late to turn back, as you had just escaped one eternal darkness for another it seemed, when you notice that there is an orange glow on the horizon. Riding towards it, it continues to grow in size, until it covers the entire horizon in a bright orange glow, and it was obvious to you what it was. Fires. Thousands of them.

Rolling spot check.

>>17458692

Oh lawd what did I just do?

>>17458692
Oh boy. This is going to be good.

Your arcane vision shows you something terrible. Something so unspeakable that if you had a mouth you would be foaming with rage.

What you saw in front of you was a mass of leylines and mana all forcibly centered into one location, something that would generally be considered impossible, had you not known better.

Hanging out of the sky in a whiling vortex of fire magic, hung a massive fire elemental, bloated by the magic overload. Any land ahead would most certainly be a literal hell, conceived by your arch enemy or someone like him.

>What do you do?

>>17458692

You just earned yourself a promotion soldier!

You are no longer a Faggot.

You are a pretty cool guy now.

>>17458778


Aproach the fire elemental, if in this setting elementals are sentient and we know it, let's try to talk to it. If not, examine the place.

INTO HELL WE RIDE!

>>17458895

The way was clear. You had not been long back into this world, and you most certainly didn't want to have it ruined by some gelatinous fire elemental trying to convert this place into the plane of fire.

A chilling fury overtook you. If this thing wanted to play with fire, then you shall be its antithesis. The temperature dropped so low around you that our flames all but disappeared, only to be replaced by freezing air and cutting winds.

Feeling the impending wrath of its master, Mercy himself whipped into his own fury, freezing blue ice shooting out from his hooves, the protective blue flame replaced with a swirl of white mist and freezing moister, a flame all on its own.

You spur the mighty beast, charging faster than you have gone yet, leaving a glacier covered in pure blue fire in your wake.

You will gladly ride into the open embrace of hell, Where there is a elemental, there is a mage nearby. Maybe now you can get some answers.

>>17459041

Is that our new Canon look?

If so hot damn, we are badass.

Bit hard to be seen as a hero though.

I should note, that its still quite a fair distance away, you can't even see land yet. So I'm skipping ahead to when you reach landfall if thats alright.

I just used the image because it was one of the only ones I could find. Typing in "Black knight" in google only gets you so many before the batman images takes over.

btw, did you plan the setting beforehand or are you making it on the run?

Goddamn batman. Well, if this quest gets popular enough maybe a drawfag may create your own black knight.

Not really, the thing is that we still haven`t seen much, so I'm worried that when we meet civilization the concistency might cause problems. I'm still enthusiastic with this quest and have faith in the OP

>>17459117
I think it would be hard to feel that things are all over the place considering we haven't seen a lot yet.

>>17459088

Really? I keep getting Monty Python and Fire Emblem.

Actually, the Black Knight from Fire Emblem would be a good match for our main character here, if he had some more spiky bits to him.

>>17459117

Yeah, we haven't seen much of the outside world and what's in it by this point, so we don't really have much right now to judge the consistency off of.

It's been terrific so far, don't feel like you need to revamp it now.

>>17459153
I'm not so sure it would be a good idea to visit civilization...

>>17459198

It's inevitable, otherwise it will become "rule of cool hermit quest"
Altough it doesn`t sound that bad...

rolled 34 = 34

>>17459198

It would be kind of awesome to be "Sweet Justice himself will deliver us from the Baron..."

You know, the hopeful fairytale the peasants tell their children about; the Nightmare of the Tyrant, the Dark Knight of the People.

>>17459198

we can adjust how we look to some degree, right?

Just get rid of the fire and make our armor seem somewhat more normal-looking, and then just lay low for a bit.

But considering the shitstorm of magical destruction that we're riding towards right now, laying low isn't going to be all that important.

>>17459186

Only if we get our own theme tune.

>>17459211

BUT WE NEED OTHERS TO KNOW OF OUR DEEDS! THAT WE ARE THE CHILL THAT GRIPS THEIR SPINES SHORTLY BEFORE RIPPING THEM OUT OF THEIR DYING BODIES!

THAT WE ARE THE FURY RIDING ATOP MERCY ITSELF TO SET OUR GRUDGE WITH SIN AND COWARDICE!

>>17459218
Isn't our voice all metallic and shit? Can we change that?

>>17459259
no we are a disembodied soul in a suit of armor

Far surpassing the speed of any magical beast you had previously seen, Mercy continues building speed tirelessly, and your own cold hard fury has been building continually over the passing days and was not evident to you until you looked up an noticed a forming maelstrom over you head, heralding your arrival, and looked behind to notice the few sea creatures that had survived the ever increasing heat floating in the water after having their lives sapped away by the cold.

It has been getting increasingly hotter as you approached the landmass, that you now make out to be a twisting mass of volcanic rock, formed from the many jutting peaks of volcanoes that surround the land. You wonder how so many got there, when the elemental overhead spat out a ball of molten rock with a loud CRACK.

It must have ruptured something in the surface under the sea when it was summoned. No matter.

By now you were roughly 10km out from the shore of a volcanic beach, but thankfully your physical presents is concealed by the thick white fog that hard started forming when the searing heat and bitter cold started combating each other. It was quite obvious that something had come to the island.

You get your first good look at the area. The "mouth" of the elemental seems to be situated over a central point, with what appears to be a jagged pillar cut out of some mountain long ago reaching up to just below it, and you think you spy a platform carved into the rock coming out of the pillar. You also note there are lights viable in the crude windows carved into the sides of structure. Someone was home.

The stone structure was surrounded by several volcanoes, the tallest of which reached right up to about 3/4 of the way up the side.

>What is your course of action?

>>17459259

Who says we need to talk all the time?

I think it'd work better as a big silent intimidating figure. Then when we do actually say something, it carries even more "SHIT JUST GOT REAL" weight.

>>17459271

With that badass image in my head I would be severely disappointed if some peasants didn't see it.

We need people to bask in how badass we are.

We don't speak. When we do speak it echoes with the cold fury of an entire dead empire, the frost of the grave mixed with the malice of the dead.

We can get by making idle gestures. When we do speak by god the people will listen.

They don't really have a choice, what with our voice being a loud-ass metallic echo tinged with the ice-cold fury we have in our heart at all times. But not using it often gives it a FUCKTON more weight.

Or we charge directly towards the fucking elemental on mercy and use the Volcano to get epic air before dismounting IN THE AIR and shoving our frosted glaive through it's eye.

>>17459371

That sounds like a plan to me. Be careful though, and be ready to call Mercy if we need extra intimidation or a quick exit.

And as for singing in the shower, it's not like we even need to take showers in the first place, so it's just a humorous non-sequiter. Stop complaining about it.

Whoa whoa, hold on I think it'd be a good idea to get a better look at what's going on before we go charging off half-cocked.

Remember, we still don't fully know what we're capable of yet, I don't want to be caught be surprise.

>>17459381
I'm going to say no to this one sorry

rolled 2 = 2

>>17459381

this rule of cool sounds awesome as well, but we might want to find out who is still living here, after all it could be a wizard who will just summon even more elementals

on 1 attack elemental
on 2 investigate dwelling

Rule of cool can wait, there is a wizard nearby and we are duty-bound to slap his/her shit.

>>17459407
looks like investigate dwelling

>>17459421

Yeah, lets try and see what's going on first before we wreak some unholy vengeance.

There is obviously only one course of action.
We ride.
We slay.
We triumph.

with these rolls?

i think we just herp, derp, and go to bed crying

>>17459442

We're not mindless though, we can judge in which way we can ride and slay that will lead to that triumph.

rolled 57 = 57

>>17459407

We investigate.

rolled 30 = 30

>>17459407
investigate

rolled 49 = 49

I SAY WE THROW OUR GLAIVE LIKE A JAVELIN THROUGH THE ELEMENTALS DIRTY FUCKING FACE!

rolled 95 = 95

Rolling for investigating

1d100, right?

>>17459491
you win the internet good sir

Someone asked for theme music earlier, delivering

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoP5NGLsWR0

I think it's pretty fitting.

Also, i'm cool with all the suggestions at this stage.

rolled 89 = 89

You know, this might be the first quest in a real long time where nearly everyone is on the same page in terms of agenda.

Godspeed, /tg/. Godspeed.

>>17459507

I was thinking more this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP8MvUvvcIc

>>17459377
Dismounting Mercy, you lead him over to an overhanging, out of the line of site of the structure.

He seemed very anxious, and honestly, you couldn't blame him. He was still the soul of a young boy, dead before his time.

Placing a comforting hand on his long black head, you try and sooth him.

>"STAY PUT. WAIT UNTIL I CALL YOU."

Turning away, you take a step forward, before turning back around once again.

>"IF YOU WISH TO HELP, KEEP PUMPING OUT THE COLD. I SHALL BE BACK, I PROMISE."

A flash of a boys eager smile goes across your mind as even more fog starts pouring out from under the horse. You would have cracked a smile if you had the means. Slinging your Glaive over your shoulder, you briskly, but quietly make your way towards the stone structure, using the towering mountains as cover. Although the viability was not necessary at this point, as an impenetrable white fog not surrounded everything in the proximity of your frosty highway, and through yours and Mercy's combined efforts, that fog was rapidly expanding.

You continue on your way until you find a path, cut out into the stone in-between two of the towering volcanoes, peering down the way, you see two humanoid shapes in the distance.

You think you hear thunder crack in the distance.

>What do you do?

rolled 13 = 13

>>17459507

Sorry, I'm going to have to propose an alternative, although that's a great fucking choice.

I'm feeling more old school, myself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg92QpjRcJk

>>17459514

Of course, "Kick Ass, Take Names, and Look Bloody Awesome While Doing It" is a pretty simple mission statement.

Also Op I'm in the wings whenever you are ready to stop let me know and I will archive for ya

>>17459538
Ah thank you friend. How close are we to the bump limit?

rolled 47 = 47

>>17459531

Kick down the fucking door.

Shock and awe, baby, shock and awe.

rolled 76 = 76

>>17459531

Focus closer on those two shapes.

We've got that arcana sight, right? Try and find out what we can see with that.

>>17459531
Listen for a tiny bit, gather information, we want to know which one is the boss of the arrangement so we can rip his face off first.

>>17459531
Guys, the mage must be shitting himself about now. There is a really powerful magical energy coming towards him, and if thats not enough, their is an ominous fog spreading out. I suggest we play this up for as much as we can, but be on guard for any magical assault.

>>17459531

Attempt to perceive for anyone living, unless the fire elemental and wayward leylines are creating too much interference for magical detection.
Otherwise continue investigating, note the environment.

just pointing out you are bringing an element that this scarred landscape has probably not seen in god knows how long. They are probably fairly on guard.

>>17459565

Oh that is a good point. Let's try and get a better reading on what's going on between these two first though.

Once of these days we need to figure out how to mute our presence more. We can't sneak up on people like this.

rolled 91 = 91

>>17459562

I move that we kill the boss as well.

Then we pump the assistant for information.

We only have to say one thing. "EXPLAIN."

>>17459551
I am actually not sure but I am still here for rule of cool quest

rolled 45 = 45

>>17459531
use magic sight, see if they are humans or constructs of some sort, if humans, approach them, stop at an easy distance and make it clear you mean no harm to them. Non verbally if possible.

rolled 38 = 38

>>17459600
I second this action seems like a sensible move

>>17459536
Fuck yeah, from back when Metallica was actually awesome.
Hell, One might be fitting too. Maybe ...And Justice for All? Nah, that song sucks dicks.

>>17459592

Oh boy this is going to be awesome.

rolled 64 = 64

>>17459600

Just drop down and stand there, watching them.
Dig the glaive into the ground and wait for their response.

The general consensus is to gather information, it seems.

>>17459622

This is fitting to a black knight, I approve

rolled 84 = 84

>>17459627

In our own chilling, unsettling, possibly violent way yes.

>>17459600

I don't think there's any possible way for us to appear non-threatening at this point, and there's nothing to suggest that these two aren't involved in the magical shenanigans that are going on. If we want to know what's going on here, I think intimidation is our best ally.

>>17459536
much less metal, but it fits us.

>>17459592
>>17459565
>>17459562
>>17459622
>>17459638

I say use all of these.

Air of menace, but holding back for the moment. If something more drastic is required for them to talk, then so be it.

rolled 73 = 73

>>17459651

Oh yes, we will be...

Nauuuughty

rolled 94 = 94

I fucking love this quest right now.

rolled 60 = 60

>>17459698
And this quest loves you, apparently.

STOP WASTING GOOD ROLLS

rolled 50 = 50

>>17459644
Mmmm
Why do I feel like posting Toccata and Fugue in D Minor?
I mean, it fits a maddened, prodigious mind, but still. Bach for a death knight?
Nah, you know what, I'mma post it anyway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVJD3dL4diY

>>17459698

So do I.

>>17459706

sorry ;_;

Oh wait I have the perfect theme song for us.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ_hgmGEhsw

Protip: The Latin lyrics are from Dies Irae, which is literally about the wrath of God. Fuck. Yes.

Reaching out with your arcane senses, you try and determine who, or what you are dealing with. Your vision reveals nothing, meaning they are not magical in nature, but your hearing on the other hand hears nothing. No rapid pulse, no breathing, just silence.

Approaching as silently as you can, you advance to a mere 10 paces away from the figures only to have your phantom stomach wretch in disgust. They appear to have been....something humanoid and living before, but now at that remained was charred corpses, burnt beyond all recognition.

The sick thing was the poses they were in, these two were dressed in some kind of rotted silk finery, ruined by the ash and ages, they were poses in a way that suggested that they were sharing some kind of joke, one pointing in the direction travelers would come from.

Tracing the length of the path, you find that horrid parodies of a noble ball go all the way up the path, right to the door of the structure.

Things could get interesting.

>What do you do?

>>17459738
I have the best song ever!

GET THE FUCK OUT!

rolled 79 = 79

>>17459740
Crack our glaive and split their lungs with blood and thunder

Or maybe this one would be good. It's called "Unstoppable Destiny".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUzBmvp3P2o

rolled 62 = 62

>>17459740

Continue down the path.

PUMP OUR COLD WRATH TO MAXIMUM LEVELS.

I want the bodies to crackle with frost and ice over as we march forwards.

>>17459740

Wait, so they're dead?

Damn, somebody is going to pay for this mockery. Get Mercy, go to the entrance of that rock structure and kick it down.

rolled 31 = 31

>>17459763
You want to destroy a bunch of mannequins?

>>17459763
At what exactly? Burnt corpses?

rolled 15 = 15

>>17459771
Of course.
Grant them a final reprieve, dignity in death.

>>17459740

Stride purposefully towards the entrance and push open the doors with both hands, make an obvious entrance, fog spilling around us as the doors open. Prepare for either a long vhat or some battle on the other side of that door.

rolled 76 = 76

>>17459770

Whoops, forgot my roll.

rolled 47 = 47

Kick that fucking door down.

Whoever lives beyond deserves our most tender care.

>>17459740
FUCKING WIZARDS
Shit just got real. Using the fog as cover as best we can, approach slowly and see if we can spot anything through the windows.

>>17459778
I...
I see

rolled 64 = 64

>>17459780

forgot my dice

rolled 13 = 13

>>17459789

We don't do stealth, we are vengeance incarnate as a hunk of living metal

rolled 20 = 20

>>17459778

Can't argue with that.

>>17459807

But we need a way to just appear out of fucking nowhere, get the drop on our targets, and scare the shit out of them even more.

>>17459785
>>17459788
>>17459800
Writing.

>>17459778
Yeah, how about we do this BEFORE going on? I mean it's not like it would take more than a couple of seconds to heat up and turn them to ashes as we walk past them.

>>17459829

Operation FUCK YOUR DOOR is a go!

rolled 49 = 49

>>17459819

Drop or no drop, we are in black spiked armour, an natural fog surrounds us, ice is appearing where it hasn't been seen for what could very well be years, the temperature drops noticeably wherever we go and let's not forget the fact that we are as far as they know alive in this hellish wasteland. We seem like a god damn demon.

>>17459832

Yeah that's what I was about to suggest too.

Our desire to bring their killer to justice is what drives our towards the door, we should take the time to make sure they at least rest in ashes among the earth, and not the mocking imitation of the life they once had.

rolled 16 = 16

>>17459829
>>17459832
>>17459857

Wait! Are their souls lingering? Can we enlist their aid like Mercy?

>>17459849

I suppose you're right.

We started off trying to be Batman, but I think we're closer to Ghost Rider actually.

rolled 35 = 35

>>17459877

Exactly

>>17459877
I am ok with this

>>17459877
We are the Black Muthafucking Knight.
We don't need to imitate.

>>17459881
>>17459883
>>17459889

Hey I said "closer to" not "exact rip-off of".

We will take the chains that bind us to this cold suit of armor use them to forge our new destiny.

rolled 64 = 64

Talk to dead hags.

If they do not respond talk to door... With medieval sign language.

>>17459876
Most likely not.
It's just...
Imagine you had a bunch of corpses hanging from the walls
You'd probably want to get them down from the wall. Avoid their bodies' further desecration

It's like a burial, really. Spread their ashes.

Ever played Bastion?
It's like what you to do ol' R in the Inn in the beginning. The Sole Regret, I think it was?

>>17459905

Yes!


We shall bring grim mercy to the wicked, just like we did with our people...

>>17459913
...Idea.

Can we try and freeze the air to the point where they just crystallize and shatter?

>"RRRrrrrrr"

An audible growl escapes your armored visage, sounding more like the grinding of metal then anything. Bitter winds are blowing.

Hefting your trusty glaive, you march with purpose to the dead mages tomb, the corpses freezing and shattering do to the sudden temperature change.

Past elderly, mothers, father, sisters, uncles, brothers, and infants you pass, each one shattering in your wake, each shard adding to your chilling vengeance. In death the fallen shall server their purpose.

reaching the large stone doors, you jab the butt of your weapon into the ground and take control of your savage winds and its deadly cargo. Upwards the fog spiraled around the pillar, soon covering it completely. The trap was set.

Giving out a bellowing roar that shook the very ground, a torrential wind rushed into through the unprotected windows, delivering its million daggers as you charge and kick down the door with all your might, white fog billowing in your wake.

>Roll 1d100 for how bad the damage was.
>What do you do now?

rolled 36 = 36

>>17459926

I inspect what's past the door

rolled 50 = 50

>>17459926
ROLLING FOR COMPLETE DESTRUCTION

rolled 21 = 21

>>17459926

Power roll!

Take in surroundings

>>17459917

We sacrificed everything we had, our bonds with friends, family, loved ones, our very flesh and blood in order to save our kingdom.

And our kingdom fell anyways. But we will not let our sacrifice be in vain. We were not able to protect our king and country, but we can protect others and bring them the justice that no mortal being can carry out.

Cold, hard, necessary justice.

((FUCK I love this quest))

rolled 10 = 10

>>17459926

Rolling for the fury of winter!

rolled 65 = 65

>>17459926

Make sure that if its still up or whatever that we aim for is hands, no hands no spells.

Rolling for total annihilation. Lets show this fool who he's dealing with

rolled 49 = 49

Walk in the goddamn door.

rolled 78 = 78

>>17459926

Rolling for how badly we fucked up the door.

Quickly take in the inside of the structure, be on guard for traps or attacks.

rolled 67 = 67

Walk in, calmly.

>>17459937
>>17459958
I wonder if this is what Ned Stark meant when he said that winter was coming? Writing.

>>17459953
And you have the highest roll good sir.

rolled 24 = 24

If this door had a soul, we'd kick it straight to hell!

Original theme song guy here.
Since most of you seem to like metal more than the other suggestions i have THE theme song for this quest.
Lyrically relevant.
Thematically relevant
Tone suiting our tastes the spirit of the quest.

I give you the following.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY5VmDzzHzI

Give it at least one minute and 30 seconds.

>>17459970
I think he meant 7 years of death, cold to kill an army (Seriously, in the last book the boltons and Baratheon's army gets its shit kicked in by the siberi- NORTH wind.).
But we can Fus Ro Dah pretty well too.

>>17459987
>mfw Demons & Wizards

I love how our original burning hatred has become cold fury, our magic is a god damn mood ring.

Glows green when you're feeling implacable!

>>17459987
These guys are pretty damn good thanks anon for good tunage

>>17460037

Project between Iced Earth's Lead Guitarist and Blind Guradian's Vocalist, they are both great at what they do.

The force of your kick was possibly a little more than it needed to be, but it exploded off its hinges all the same sending bits of shrapnel in addition to the icy daggers.

Striding purposefully in, you a greeted with blood curling screams and cries of anguish. The loudest of which coming from the guard that was positioned in the base floor, which luckily for him didn't have any windows. That did not save him from the large stone door falling on top of him.

His legs are trapped under the door, blood is pooling under him as he weeps at the protruding bones from one of the legs. He goes deathly silent when he sees the approaching crimson glare following the burst of fog, and gapes as a black steel giant looms over hims.

>What do you do?

>>17460054

Kneel in front of him.

Stay silent.

Stare.

>>17460047
Im still here thanking the gods that no one has tried to link dragonforce

>Also
Blackknight im thinking around 300 is bump limit for /tg/ but I could be wrong

>>17460054
Walk over to him.

Look down.


>STOMP

rolled 68 = 68

>>17460054

Stare at him.

Level your glaive at him.

I think I'm in love with the Knight.

>>17460054
Grab him by the neck
lift him up,
interrogate.
Knowledge is power.
Power is destructive.
Weapons are destructive.
Knowledge is a weapon.

rolled 5 = 5

>>17460067

Dragonforce is a one-trick pony when it comes to metal. They sound good on recordings, but there's not as much creativity or soul as with other bands, and they can't play nearly as well live.

And I do believe 300 is the bump limit.

>>17460082
He's Ghost Rider and Batman. Of course you are.

>>17460065
This. So much this.

rolled 73 = 73

>>17460054

Walk over to him, and keep up the frost and ice routine.

Stop so that he is at your feet.

Crane your head, slightly.

"WHERE...IS...HE?"

Hopefully he knows what we fucking mean. If he doesn't respond immediately, just walk past him and freeze him to death.

I like the idea that even our passing is enough to kill.

rolled 1 = 1

>"WHAT"
>"HAPPENED HERE"

>>17460067
>>17460085
Alright, I will make a new thread once this one reachs the bump limit.

rolled 3 = 3

"I shall release you from this pain."

Glaive him.

rolled 16 = 16

>>17460065

Oh god seconding this.

Let his own guilt and fear consume him as we STARE INTO HIS VERY SOUL, and he will eventually give us the answers we desire.

rolled 83 = 83

Rolling for badassery levels off the charts

rolled 5 = 5

Look down upon the man

whisper to him, "Where is your master" while balefire surrounds you

rolled 29 = 29

>>17460102

No, no not yet!

We need information out of him first.

Then we can release him from his pain.

>>17460065
rollin for this

>>17460085
Yea I dont really listen to "Fantasy" metal much but could get into a few of these bands. And yep most definitely looks like 300 post bump limit. So op I'm thinkin next post and we archive this thread and start a new one... thoughts?

>>17460074
>>17460097
>>17460112
The top votes are "Stare at him and demand to know where his master is" one way or another.

Should I make the next post in a new thread?

rolled 46 = 46

>>17460117
dammit forgot my roll

>>17460112
>>17460117

Looks like this wins, write it up and we can defile a new virgin thread.

>>17460121
sure and ill archive this one then... gimme about 5 minutes

>>17460114

Why do we need information from him?

We just broke his door. The master of the house it going to show up or try to run away frantically.

Either way we just have to keep marching until we find him.

>>17460112
>badassery levels off the charts

I'd say that's a success, good sir.

And pic related, it's totally what we're doing to this poor guy.

>>17460154

Your welcome, if it pleases the OP and thread i can post theme music when we have particularly intense scenes. I got plenty in the back of my mind.

>>17460169

Man you should have named it Black knight quest 2 for easier search.

Thanks for doing it anyway

>>17460187
shit didnt think about that
this is my first time archiving a quest thread and being part of one

>>17460182
Sure, music is always great.

>>17460187

It's still got the Black Knight Quest tag on it, so that helps.

>>17460196

Good job anyway, try to remember this for the next time you have to archive an ongoing quest

>>17460210
yea will do

>>17460196

Well still nice to have you on board.

A tip for archiving continuing threads, try to maintain the same style of numbering and tagging the threads each time. It makes it easier to find and follow later.

>>17460220
Alright thanks for the advice man

So, about that new thread...

So OP are you writing or are we just filling out the bump limit and making a new thread.

>>17460262
>>17460259
I'm writing it for the new thread, up momentarily

Hes making a new thread and most likely writing it up right now.

By the way we hit bump limit 3 posts ago

Annnnnnnd....

We are autosaging, let's see that new thread.

The suspense is killing me
