>Previous Threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Summoned%20Hero%20QuestON THE LAST THREAD you talked to the grizzly bear who's also a historian and got some SWEET SWEET information regarding the world around you. Now with that knowledge, you go to bed for the night!------------------------------------"Hey, you up yet!" knock knock. You hear someone knocking on your door. You merely sigh at the racket. "Hey, ****, are you up for school yet?" "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming." your name was ****. Late teens, last year of high-school. Everything was average. Two little sisters, an older brother. A hard working father and a worry-wort of a mother. A life you were satisfied with. "Alright, now I have to-"Then you realize it.You're not home. You're on the second floor of the Vernegard Inn, who knows how far away from home. "Right, right." the image of the small, black-haired girl at the doorway vanishes. It was your own memories haunting you again. "School.. right." you shake the memories away. You stand up, stretching your arms into the air and cracking your neck.You do the necessities. You clean yourself, go to the restroom and put your clothes on...>What to do?
Find someone who can teach us how to fight.
>>20248933Go fuck Cadencia.
>>20248933Go find Cadencia, arrange for combat instruction.Oh, and see if Albert is still around.
>>20248933>go to the restroomOh god, please let Abner have at least introduced indoor plumbing, toilets, and toilet paper before he died.Or this world developed magic toilets that work like mystic versions of those techno-toilets from Japan. If we have to use a chamberpot, introducing toilets is the first thing we do, before the mechanical sliderule magic calculator.
That little girl's face. Your younger sister, Candy or Candice. The former was the nick name you gave her. "Ghk.. you're a bastard, you know that?" you were of course referring to your own mind. It keeps betraying you with stuff that isn't there, just pushing you to the edge of insanity. Despite your discontent, you move out the door and make your way to the first floor of the bar. There were people already having drinks, having discussion, having a good time. You look around for the familiar grizzly bear Bast Albert, but he is nowhere to be found. With your second objective in mind, you don't waste any time leaving the bar....You knock on Cadencia's door twice. You don't receive a response so you knock again. And again. Still nothing. You grit your teeth in frustration and punch it. "WAKE UP!" You hear a thud. In the next second you hear foot steps coming close and closer still. The door unlocks, "Hiiiiiiii." Cadencia lets out an exaggerated greeting.Your Summoner, the lovely cadencia, has her blonde hair sprawled out in strange curls and patterns. Beneath her eyes are large bags that spell out the night she had. She was either drunk, or she stayed up the entire night for something. "Come in, come in." you take her invitation and walk on in.>What to do?
>>20249082"You're not looking too well. Rough night?"Anyway, you were going to talk with the king of Lancastle, right? You need me to be there?"Otherwise, I should really get some combat instruction. I'm no soldier, right now."
>>20249139I like this. DO IT
"You're not looking too well. Rough night?" you take a seat in a chair near the window. It overlooks Cadencia's backyard which consists of very tall grass and a birdhouse. Nothing that really catches the eye out there."Y-yeah. I was doing research and working on the spell to send you home all night. I didn't fall asleep until uh... I can't remember." Cadencia speaks as she grabs a comb nearby. She runs it through her hair to straighten it out. The young summoner takes a seat right beside you as she yawns."Anyway, you were going to talk with the king of Lancastle, right? You need me to be there?""No, I can handle it myself and you need to be here to protect Vernegard." she yawns again, causing you to do it yourself. "AAaahhh.. alright.. now I should really get some combat instruction. I'm no soldier, right now.""Right, right, you can go talk to Grandpa about that. I couldn't arrange anything due to my... circumstances. Maybe you should go ask around the Knight Barracks? I'm sure someone can help you out.""Thanks alot..." you shake your head from side to side.>What to do?
>>20249391"Alright. I'll ask around. Maybe you should get some more sleep before heading out; wouldn't look good to show up looking that."So, head to the Castle, ask the King about training with the Knights. Maybe read up more on magic, try to understand basics. We've got maybe two weeks before the next Remnant comes nosing around.
>>20249001Anon has the charisma of two pounds of gravel.Seduction attempts are futile until we awaken our Swagforce.>>20249139Add "I really gotta HIT something".
>>20249494>Anon has the charisma of two pounds of gravel.Come on, we've been doing much better as the Dimensional Crossover Psychosis wears off.
>>20249494Get on IRC.
>>20249391Let's head for the Barracks
>>20249542Only the Lunarians have IRC, and they're bunch of arrogant assholes who caused this mess in the first place and then left everyone else to take care of this shitpile of evil.Though getting one of their mobiles suits would be pretty sweet. Or a hovertank. Oh, even better! PDA spellbook, with the ability to create spell batch files.
"Alright, I'll ask around. Maybe you should get some more sleep before heading out; wouldn't look good to show up looking like that." you stand up from the chair, walking toward the door. "I'm going to head to the castle. Good luck, alright?" you move out, grab the door and open it. Before long, you find you're on your way to the Castle. Cadencia nods slowly and falls back asleep. You had to let her get some rest, or otherwise she'd look bad in front of the King of Lancastle. Now, you make it to the King and ask your questions. The King told you to go to the barracks and try and find something, as when you walked in on him he was busy. Some LONG conversation that was. You give up and do as he said. You make your way to the knight's barracks and ask around. They were training, getting everything in order. Most of them ignored you because of their own business. "Tch... I appreciate the help, guys." "Get out of the way." a large man, black hair, silver armor, bumps into you and pushes you out of the way as company of around ten knights make their way through. You were the Guardian, you didn't have to put up with that kind of shit.>What to do? (Also, I'd like to see some dice rolls during fights. Everything else? Free game.)
>>20249607Sure. What kind of dice would you prefer?
>>20249607>dice rolls during fightsYeah, sounds good. Maybe include modifiers and such for things, too.Do we want to cause a fight here? On the one hand, they're being rude.On the other hand, we don't want to be a That Guardian.
>>20249672They ought to know, considering our strange clothes.Let's demand a duel for our honour.
>>20249685So, reach out and grab the guy's arm, and with our enhanced strength start squeezing."Excuse me, sir. I may be new here, but you owe me an apology. If you would rather not, then we can settle this outside."Keep calm, keep cool, stay polite.And when we square off, we knock him out cold.
>>202496591d100 would be natural.
>>20249724Let's do this.
>>20249730I just hope that we don't have the problems with dice seeds that Meta Quest has. Watching their rolls is hilarious, yet painful.
"Excuse me, sir." you reach out your hand and take hold of the knights arm. "I may be new here, but you owe me an apology. If you would rather not, then we can settle this outside." your eyes turn to slits. Your social skills were still at the equivalent of a slab of rock."Oh, you're our Guardian now, right?" the man immediately deduces your identity just by your clothes. "You're going to protect us? Hahaha..hahaha." he chuckles to himself as if it's a joke. "Fine, fine, I can humor you."Without much delay, the two of you walk outside. Your opponent, who's the Captain of the Knight's, wields a long sword and a shield. You, however, wield a Zweihander with ONE hand. The captain, who's name is Drei, stares straight at you. A two handed weapon user, he thinks. You have more reach ,but he thinks you'll be slowed using a weapon like that. As the gong sounds, the man moves forward to attack you. He's quick, using some type of magic to increase his movement. You immediately recognize the style as Zelfine. He moves forward in for a stabbing motion. He raises his shield to prepare for a counter attack!>What to do?
rolled 6 = 6>>20249790Try to dodge his sword and knock his shield aside.Lets have some fun.
You see the blade coming. You adjust your stance and ready the Zweihander. You move one foot back in an attempt to dodge the sword but... you're too late."HAH!" the shield comes flying in, smashing you in the head. Your unable to react. He sped up at the last minute to deliver the blow. "Tch..." you stumble back a few feet before regaining your footing. You raise your own sword up and grin. The second wave was coming, you had to be prepared. Drei races forward, his shield held out toward you and the blade to the side. You try and predict what he's going to do and strike...!>What to do?
rolled 38 = 38>>20249870Sweep the zweihander low to the ground, underneath his shield, forcing him to jump. Then jump straight at him with our gauntlet in a punch meant to smash through his shield.
>>20249821>>20249903Well, this isn't going well for us.
>>20249933We don't actually know how to fight. We have an excuse. Tempted to just pull out the gun at this point...
You have to think on your feet! You quickly lower yourself to the ground and swing the Zweihander to force him to jump. You don't confirm the hit as you prepare so see an airborn Knight Captain. Instead... he leaps back to completely dodge it. Your body, unable to react, is assaulted by the shield yet again. He was so fast, a blur. Normally your eyes could keep up with it, but while you were low to the ground, you couldn't redirect your body's momentum.Bonk. Your hit in the face and you stumble back. Roll, roll, thud. "Gghkk.." you pull yourself up to your feet with all of your strength. Your nose is bleeding, your face hurts. Yeah, this was going well.The knight comes in for the third go. Different stance with his sword out, his shield to the side...>What to do?
rolled 50 = 50>>20249949Throw the sword at the chap and then charge him and start pummeling.
He was still coming, but you could do something. You grip the Zweihander as hard as you can. You maneuver your body backward and then let it go in one, violent swing. "HAAAAH!" The large weapon spins. It flies forward. Drei bends down to the ground and leaps over the sword. Unknown to him, you were running behind the sword as soon as he leaps. You throw your fist forward, Drei raises his shield. The strength of your punch and the force in which the shield was thrust forward almost equalize. A loud BANG is heard. You fall toward the ground, landing on your feet. Drei lands back first onto the ground before rolling to get up.You have first strike now!>What to do?
rolled 6 = 6>>20250021Run up and punch him again.After three punches rematerializae our zweihander and attack him with short stabs and slashes.
rolled 67 = 67>>20250021Make sure he can't get back up. Start hitting him while he's on the ground and try to disarm him while doing so.
rolled 6 = 6>>202500544 rolls and only 1 was a 50.This is not a good seed.
rolled 79 = 79>>20250071Stop rolling dude. The dice hate you, heh.
rolled 29 = 29>>20250021We Wuxia now.Go for CQC and attempt to grapple Drei. >>20249937Fool! Your filthy gun is nothing compared to a sword that has been forged in the fires of the underworld and folded a thousand times!
You could do this now! You run as fast as you can forwar, in a blur with your gauntlets at the ready. You throw the first punch. Drei dodges to the side. However, you raise your other hand and punch him in the stomach. The armor dents and you contact skin. "GGHKkk.." Drei winces in pain. He drops his shield, raises his hand and thrust his hand forward. Bam, his fist connects to your stomach. You stumble backward with a wry smile. You bring your hand back. You connect your fist with his stomach again. The knight stumbles back, coughing. The battle was finally turning in your favor. The shield was now gone, but the sword remained. That was good enough, at least for now. You couldn't pin him on the ground either, but things were heating up!>What to do?
>>20250102Maybe. But who uses a sword when it can be a gun fight?
rolled 68 = 68>>20250119Grab his shield and let's go Captain America on his ass. Shield bashes, use it to block his attacks and things like that.
>>20250119dice+1d100Say "Omei wa shinderu" and then walk over and over, delivering punches at the speed of sound until we accumulate an 99 hit combo and then deliver one last punch to knock him out.
rolled 46 = 46>>20250119Continue exchanging punches like manly men from the height of gentlemanly pugilism.Also, I just realized that with the Bast, this picture has a chance of coming true.
rolled 78 = 78>>20250143I'm high, I swear.
rolled 85 = 85>>20250137>>20250147Rollan for either of these.
rolled 56 = 56>>20250147I support this one with my /hopefully/ godly rolls
It was time to end this. Blue energy rises from your body. In an instant, you race forward to meet your opponent in the center of the battlefield. The knights around you were watching. Most rooting for Drei, but some were rooting for the 'underdog', you. Drei himself infuses his body with white energy. Both of you meet in the middle. "HAH!" you raise your fist back. Drei swings his sword down. You move to the side and grab his arm, throwing him over your shoulder to disarm him. The blade flies into the sky and sticks into the ground a couple feet away. Drei looks to it with clenched teeth. "What's wrong, can't fight without your sword? This is my turf, bring it on!" you get into a boxing stance and smile through your bleeding mouth. Drei smiles, accomadating the challenge. He throws a punch. You dodge to the side, throwing one of your own. You smash Drei in the face. He stumbles back, shaking his head to relieve the shock. "That all you GOT?" Drei meets you blow for blow.One punch, two, three. Blood rains upon the ground. Four, five, six more blows. "HAH!" you yell in synch, getting caught in a cross-counter. "GGhkk.." you stumble back, wiping your lips. "BRING IT ON!" you fire yourself up and move forward with new resolve.You hit Drei in the face, Drei hits you in the stomach. Another cross-counter. The two of you stumble back, losing energy little by little. You don't have time to think about injuries. With the crowd cheering both Drei and your name, you grin.This was fun.>What to do?
rolled 62 = 62Hell yea motherfucker.
rolled 14 = 14>>20250303Uppercut, if that doesn't work, haymaker.
rolled 70 = 70>>20250349Good lord, that's a shitty roll.
"You done already?" through exhausted breathing, you speak up. Drei merely shakes his head as he stands tall. "I'm going to end this right NOW!" you run as fast as you can forward. Your body shimmers with the same blue light from before. In contrast, Drei's radiates with a merky, white light.You put all of your energy into your right hand, mustering as much 'magic' as you can. Drei does the same with his left hand. You both swing your arms forward to hit each other. The final cross-counter that causes the very foundation of the barracks to shake. Wait, no...It wasn't a cross counter! You moved your head out of the way at the last second. However, your punch lands against Drei's own face. "Ghkk.." he cringes in pain. Now, for the final follow up! "THIS IS..." you crouch low to the ground, taking advantage of Drei's stunned state. "...IS THE END!" using that same hand infused with energy, you smash it into Drei's lower chin. It explodes in a blue flame and sends the knight captain into the air. He falls in an arc, landing nearby where his sword did when you disarmed him. "OHHH!" the crowd is in awe at the display of power. You crack your knuckles, making sure your hand is alright. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to discard the gauntlets...oh well.>What to do?
>>20250408I think it's over at this point. Check on Drei and help him up. He was a worthy opponent.
rolled 4 = 4>>20250303I vote for whatever this ishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ1ts93O7IA
>>20250408Go over to Drei and offer him a hand up."Good fight."We need to ask if we can train with the other Knights. We've got pure power and speed, but no skill.
rolled 37 = 37>>20250408Make sure he is okay and help him up."You packed quite a punch."
>>20250303I dislike this quest, but that was really an awesome moment. good job.
>>20250467Out of curiosity: What do you dislike about this quest?
With your weakened body, you're still able to make your way over to the downed Drei. You extend a hand out, smiling. "You packed quite a punch." you smile, blood dripping out from the bottom of your gums. You both were in terrible shape, but Drei even more so. "Ghhh." the man stands up, shaking his head side to side. "Same to you. Sorry about earlier..." he realizes his mistake in under estimating you, and probably punching him in the face THAT hard knocked some sense into him. "It's fine, nothing to worry about. We kind of already vented our frustration. Anyway, I wanted to ask if I could train with you and your knights. I have pure power and speed, but no skill.""The way you are, I really doubt you'd fit in. Organized training, that is. Wouldn't you work better with private lessons?" Drei places a hand to his jaw in order to straighten it up."Huh...">Yeah, private lessons would be good.>Nah, I'd work better in a crowd.>What to do?
>>20250546"Yeah, private lessons might be better. Do you have an instructor you can recommend?"
>>20250546>Yeah, private lessons would be good.He's pretty much right. Even if we're fighting with others, I doubt anyone is going to keep up so we'd be pretty much doing our own thing.
rolled 95 = 95>>20250546>>20250303>>20250408My screen just exploded with MANLINESS.Guess all MC needs is a good push in the right direction.>>20250558>>20250576Training arc is a go.
"Yeah, private lessons would be good. Do you have an instructor you can reccomend?" you still stand, even though the pain is still prominent in your legs."The Moonknight Adfor was my instructor but... I haven't seen him in a long time.""Moonknight? Is he related to the Lunarians?" you were curious."No, it was just some old legend. I forget most of it but, anyway, he was the one who taught me how to use magic and fight. He lives in the Vernegard Forest, in a house beyond the Bast village. Think he loves it out there. Lives with his wife. I even went to visit them last month." Drei leans on the wall. The crowd that formed around you is now gone. It's just you two talking."Ah, I see. He's a great hero or something?" Drei nods in response.>Alright, I'll go see him. Thanks.>Eh... I'm not into that forest. I'd rather have someone else.>What to do?
>>20250634>Alright, I'll go see him. Thanks.Forest training arc? Even better.
>>20250648>>20250634To the forest we go!
>>20250634>Alright, I'll go see him. Thanks.Magic AND swordfighting? Looks like we're on the track to becoming a Rune Soldier.
>>20250634Oh, before we go to the forest, we should leave a message for Candencia somehow (maybe get a servant at the castle to tell her when she arrives?), and then see about getting a map or a Bast guide to help us find the way.Does anyone find it a bit odd, however, that even though Candencia is a princess, she's not living in the castle but in her own house?
>>20250499...I can't point at something precisely. reading this story and looking at a broiled potato feels the same.well written, though.
>>20250683Well she mentioned something about her circumstances. Wasn't here when it was mentioned so I didn't get the chance to ask her about it. We should probably get to know her better.
>>20250683>>20250710We ought to leave her a message, and keep in mind to get to know her the next time we meet and have time to talk without risk of being raped by demons.
"Alright, thanks, Drei. You already know my name, but I'll repeat it, Anon." you say so with a smile.Drei nods and places a hand on your shoulder. "Huh... well, Adfor is kind of old fashioned. And he's a coot, but he's a nice guy, just remember that anything he does he does for a reason.""Got it. I'll be on my way then." after that, the conversation is cut short. With this new information, you move from the barracks back to Cadencia's house. Through a distorted version of her own language, you write a small letter detailing your situation and set it on her desk. Afterward, you set out for Vernegard Forest, past the Bast Village and to Adfor's shack.You were one step closer to gettin stronger!=End of Chapter 6=Things are picking up, so yes, fun. NEXT CHAPTER IS TRAINING ARC. YAaaaaaaayyy. Anyway, tomorrow's thread will probably be a little later in the day (6-7?) due to some business. Hope you enjoyed todays thread, nonetheless!
>>20250800Things were fun this session. Do you plan on introducing visible modifiers for die rolls (certain actions will have modifiers attached to them in the post), or will all of that be abstracted and be done in the background?
>>20250829Probably going to go with visual modifiers.
>>20250829*Visible. Oii, am I tired. >>20250843
>>20250800Another great session, Darnell.Don't have any suitable reaction images an this laptop so I'll go for som Hodor instead.
