Grimdark EpisodeAs you pull your lips away from Anna's you feel a sense of warmth running through your body. The two of you look into each others eyes and at that moment you finally see how much she's grown since you met her. For the first time you see a woman, who was forced by the world to grow before it was her time, and who now stands before you demanding the rights that come with being a woman. You are quiet, without words to express how you feel. A) Pull her back inB) Ask her what that was aboutC) Ask why she waited so long
>>28764645A) Pull her back inReturn the sentiment.
>>28764645>B) Ask her what that was about
A) Pull her back in
>>28764645A)
>>28764904>>28764943>>28764949For a moment you see a twinge of regret in Anna's eyes. She begins to pull away in fear, but you won't have it. You place your arms around her waist and pull her back in for a second kiss. You close your eyes and focus on the sensation of her lips, and her warmth meeting yours. Her arms tighten around your neck, and you allow the world to fade away, just like it had on the dance floor. You are snapped out of this daze by whistling, and turn to see Andre laughing so hard that tears are forming in his eyes, and Diane is blushing and covering her mouth to muffle the tiny screams coming out of her mouth. A) "Can we have a moment please?"B) Go back to AnnaC) Pull away from Anna
>>28765201>B) Go back to AnnaWe'll deal with their shit later.
>>28765201b
>>28765201B)
>>28765218>>28765226You smile at them, but look back to Anna. Her face is a deep red, but she doesn't break eye contact. You close your eyes and touch your forehead to hers, still struggling to find words floating in the air like flower pedals in the wind, so clear in your vision but impossible to grab. Soon an entire section of the room has devoted themselves to watching the two of you embrace and lose yourselves in one-another's eyes. They whisper to each other, the men call you lucky and the women call you romantic. Out of the corner of your vision you see other couples begin to follow your example and embrace, reminiscing about their youth and the passionate flames that once burned their very souls. When the two of you have finally drunk your fill of each others breath and body heat, you pull away and Anna lets her hands slide from your shoulders down to your palms, where you catch them and hold tight. You spend the remainder of the party dancing and eating with the others, enjoying yourselves but always faintly attached to Anna. No matter where you go, you can feel her presence, like a ribbon tied around your wrist leading back to her. Most of the night there may as well be a ribbon, since she is either holding your hand or wrapping her arms around yours. Near the end, you join Andre, Diane, Scipio and his date outside on a balcony for a drink to cap the night. You all permit Anna to drink wine, which she takes to much better than either Scipio or Andre. As they wrestle each other for fun, Anna simply clings to you in an effort not to lose her balance. Diane comes to you and congratulates you, asking when you plan to hold the ceremony.A) "Very funny."B) "Well I was thinking we'd wait until spring."C) "Isn't it a little soon for that?"
>>28765466B
>>28765466B)
>>28765466b
>>28765466>B) "Well I was thinking we'd wait until spring."We've had a funny night, why not be a little bit funny?
>>28765466B)>>28764645>Grimdark EpisodeThis pleases the captain
>>28765484>>28765510>>28765518Diane shrieks with excitement again. It's starting to hurt your ears a bit. She rambles on, throwing question after question at you in rapid succession."Where are you going to have it? If you do it here you could have the bishop perform it but oh it would be so romantic to bring her back to your hometown to meet your parents and then you could have all sorts of traditional things and food and I'm sure your mother would cry! Ah, I'll have to get a new dress, I can't wear this to a wedding and Andre will need something of course- do you plan on having th wedding party wear specific colors, because that will have to be organized- not that I assume we're going to be part of the wedding party but I mean we've been through so much together it's hard to imagine we won't but- but I'm not pressuring you into it oh and we'll need to work out flowers and a cake and music- you can't have a proper wedding without music it's just unheard of-"A) "We'll get to all that when we need to."B) "Slow down, you're going to choke on your words!"C) "Aren't you taking this a bit too seriously?"
>>28764645ITT: 90% of the city dies, Anna lives but goes missing. Protagonist only gets maimed. Unsurprisingly the orcs have a good time.
>>28765680>B) "Slow down, you're going to choke on your words!"
>>28765680>D) "In case you weren't aware, I was joking."Bitch needa calm down
>>28765680>A.
>>28765680B)
B) "Slow down, you're going to choke on your words!"
>>28765699I'm just waiting to see us come across a orc that isn't all about raiding and what not. The realization that not all of them are savages would be interesting to see and would bring up that old wound.Don't look at me that way I just like orcs.
>>28765710>>28765713>>28765781You implore Diane to take a breath before she suffocates herself, and she does. She spends the next few moments hyperventilating and fanning her face, but manages to calm herself enough to speak normally. "I can't help but be excited though! You two are getting married and it's going to be beautiful and oh god I'm absolutely going to cry like a baby I just know it!" You explain that you weren't being serious when you said spring, which turns the smile on her face to a confused frown. She asks what you mean and you tell her it was only a joke, and that you didn't mean for her to take it so seriously. She looks puzzled, tilting her head like Leman Russ when he hears a strange noise. "But...then why did you buy her a wedding gown?"A) "A what now?"B) "A WHAT NOW!?"C) Look at Anna for answers
>>28765900>A) "A what now?"
>>28765900>A) "A what now?">B) "A WHAT NOW!?">C) Look at Anna for answers
>>28765900A + B +CIt's the only way.
>>28765900A) "A what now?"
>>28765866>I just like orcs
>>28765900All of them.
>>28765866Maybe the good guy Orc meets us mid battle and helps us and our troupe escape. I mean really:[Scipio (Meatshield 1)Orc Guy (Meatshield 2)Andre (Rogue 1)Donnel (Rogue Paladin Mage)Diane (Mage)Anna (Rogue 2 maybe?)Russ (The Mascot)Pretty good team there.
>>28766070>Reasonable Orc helps us escape the burning cityIt would be a interesting development.
>>28765938>>28765949>>28765986Your attempt at a controlled and pointed question turns into a shout of extreme surprise even as it leaves your mouth. So loud and out of place is it that it stops Scipio and Andre's roughhousing, and Scipio's date who was until that point rooting for the two men to continue grappling each other now looks over in surprise. You cover your own mouth to prevent another outburst, then look down at Anna, whose cheeks and nose are flush with intoxication. She looks back at you, unable to understand what you're concerned about. When you press the question of her dress, she says that she didn't know it was anything special, she just liked the color and design. The women at the shop told her it was the best one they had in her size, so she bought it. You ask Scipio and Andre if they knew about this the whole night, and they confirm, assuming you meant for Anna's appearance to be the announcement of your engagement. Even Scipio's date seems to have followed the same train of thought.A) "How is it that I'm the last person to know about my own wedding?"B) "We're not getting married! I mean, not right now!"C) "Oh well. Why not then."
A) "A what now?"B) "A WHAT NOW!?"C) Look at Anna for answers
>>28766257>C
>>28766257>B) "We're not getting married! I mean, not right now!"
>>28766257>A) "How is it that I'm the last person to know about my own wedding?"
>>28766257>B) "We're not getting married! I mean, not right now!"Maybe with a bit of A thrown in.
B) "We're not getting married! I mean, not right now!"WE NEED MORE MONEYWe need to invite our parents, get reservations, get the food, get more money, and other shit
>>28766257A) "How is it that I'm the last person to know about my own wedding?"
>>28766321If OP uses this explanation I'm sure all will go alright. Well, just don't scream the money part.
>>28766350this
>>28766257>AWe are clueless as fuck.
>>28766300>>28766319>>28766321You assure everyone that whether or not you're getting married it won't be anytime soon. Diane bunches up her face and stomps on the floor, and in fact even Scipio and Andre seem somewhat saddened by this. With the air cleared, you are able to take a deep breath and regain your composure. You look out over the Palace garden, seeing a few people talking and cooing in all its corners. The grand room is now mostly a place for drunk attendees to jabber in large groups, and the small parties have split off and gone all around the area. You finish off your glass of wine and turn to ask Anna how she's feeling, as you haven't heard her speak in a while. She rubs her face on your sleeve, saying that she is really in the mood to go to bed. You tell her she can go if she likes, but she claims to be unable to walk straight without you to lean on. A) Take her to the women's chambers. Then send Leman Russ to lie with her.B) Take her to your room and get her settled in with Leman Russ and come back.C) Tell the others goodnight, and take her to your room. C)
>>28766581>B) Take her to your room and get her settled in with Leman Russ and come back.
>>28766581>C)we gon get laid lads

>>28766581>A) Take her to the women's chambers. Then send Leman Russ to lie with her.
>>28766581C) Tell the others goodnight, and take her to your room.
>>28766581C) Tell the others goodnight, and take her to your room. The time has arrived.
>>28766630Changing my answer to B)
>>28766581>C)
B) Take her to your room and get her settled in with Leman Russ and come back.
>>28766581C) Take her and stay there.
>>28766581Changing my vote toC)
>>28766625Changing mine to C)
>>28766668>>28766632>>28766617You pat her head and tell her to just wait a moment while you say goodnight to everyone. You hug Diane, Andre and Scipio, and exchange another poorly executed handshake with Scipio's date. They all wish you a good night, especially Andre who seems to have been trying to imply something you didn't quite catch. Or didn't want to catch. Either way.You let Anna wrap around your arm again, like a vine on a fence, and begin leading her back through the grand room. On the way you pass the band, playing slow and freeform music over the dimming lights. Everyone in the room is laughing and exchanging stories, from elders to smiths to bakers. You even pass by the bishop, who is talking up some older woman who giggles as he speaks poetically to her. Out the entrance you go, turning down the hall to head back to your room. You start thinking about what may happen after tonight. Things will certainly be different, and you don't even know how to begin explaining things to people who know you in town. You come to the conclusion that you don't actually care, and that as long as you and Anna are happy, there's nothing to worry about. You come to your door and unlock it while trying to keep Anna from spilling onto the floor. Leman Russ pops out from under the desk as you enter, barking happily. You lead Anna over to the bed, laying her down carefully. She kicks off her shoes and you go over to the wardrobe to remove your robes. Dropping the weight and stuffing feels amazing after having them constrict you all night, and getting out of your boots feels strange. You bare feet on the carpet feel naked and cold. Anna sits up and asks you to help her slip out of her dress.cont...
>>28766882You hesitate for a moment but realize that of all nights, now isn't the one to pretend you're completely innocent. You unlace her back as she removes her gloves andunties her hair, letting it fall over her shoulders. When she begins sliding her dress down, you turn to look at Leman Russ, who is occupied with biting at something on his leg. Behind you Anna asks for something clean to change into, so you move over to the wardrobe to find a clean set of robes. On the way back, trying to walk backwards without falling, you catch a glimpse of her leg in the standing mirror as she removes her stocking. you hand your top back to her, and she puts it on. When you turn around you can't help but smile, seeing her try to roll up the sleeves on your robes so that she has access to her hands. Your clothes hang all the way down to just above her knee. Her hair is a bit wild and the neck on your collar which usually forms a comfortable C shape around your shoulders reveals hers. She then slides into the bed, drawing up the furs and curling into a tight ball. You blow out the candles on the desk and get in on the other side, slipping under the sheets and turning your gaze up to the ceiling to prevent yourself staring at her. However, just as your mind begins to blank and you fade into sleep, you feel something warm touch your side. An arm crosses your chest, and something soft presses into your under-arm followed by something slightly heavy on top of it. Then, all is quiet.
>>28766617>thinks I have time to sit here writing erotic fiction for you fags
>>28767086>implying even if you put it there we wouldn't deny it because our character won't take advantage of a drunk girl
>>28767086Just fade to black during sex scenes. Non-sex romantic scenes like this one>>28767068Those you could do without bothering anyone.
>>28767068The next morning the sun hurts your eyes as you open them, even through the blinds. You lie in bed for a few minutes lying to yourself about not drinking so much ever again. You look around the room, and see that all is normal, with the exception of Leman Russ balled up at your feet, and a pillow plaed on your chest with a mass of red hair on top. Your throat is parched, and you desperately need to use the bathroom.A) Wake up AnnaB) Try to slip out unnoticedC) Hold it and try to focus on something else
>>28767163B)
>>28767163B) Try to slip out unnoticed
>>28767086how dose it feel to have been rused op
>>28767178>>28767163>>28767181>>28767182We are Inquisitors (rogues) we should train stealth every now and then.>>28767191But there were other posts for C besides those...

>>28767163B) time for the greatest challenge a man can attempt getting out of bed without waking your partner
>>28767163OP could you give an inventory/possessions list and a skill list?
>>28767191I can't honestly be expected to know I'm being tricked. If someone wants to put in the effort to fuck with the system, then it doesn't make me dumb, it makes them a faggot.
>>28767296On your person: Nothing, you're in your boxers and a shirtSomewhere in this room: A broadsword, Holy Symbol, Dad's knife, Half-plate, Anna's Scarf, 180 gold.In Anna's posession: Bow, chainmail, Mom's scarf, 25 gold
>>28767389Well said.
>>28767389Thank you, Mr. Rags.You didn't pick a name, instead using the quest, so I guess I'll call you Mr. Rags.
>>28767447I like it.
>>28767178>>28767181>>28767259You can't hold it in anymore, and decide to try and slip out of the room without waking Anna. Before you even begin to move, Leman Russ is awake and alert. He stares at you as you gently slide your arm out from beneath Anna's pillow, and scoot across the bed in tiny increments. You quietly plant your feet on the floor, and feel the cold morning air hit you as the furs slip off. You're tempted to leap back into bed, but resist the urge and cross the room to get to your clothes. You pull up your pants and notch your belt, being careful not to let it jingle in the slightest. Then you slip into your boots, leaving them unlaced for the sake of time. You are nearly home free. Then you move to the door and turn the knob as slowly as you can without actually freezing up. It clicks, and you slide out the door using as little space as you can squeeze your body through. You made it! The door closes softly behind you and you start walking down the hall to the lavatory. After a few minutes of continuous urination, you head to the mess hall for a drink and run into the bishop. He asks how your night went.A) "Better than expected."B) "It was nothing special, really."C) "Best night of my life."D) Other
>>28767592>C)
>>28767592>C) "Best night of my life."Danced, drank, got a gf, shared a bed here. Preddy good.
>>28767592>C) "Best night of my life."

>>28767616with her*
>>28767592D. best night of my life so far
>>28767614>>28767616>>28767622He pats your shoulder and laughs, shaking his head. "Ah to be young again. Well, have a fine day. I won't be leaving my office for quite some time. The Father's work is never done, and I have to spend today catching up on what I missed yesterday." You say goodbye and head to the mess hall. Scipio is there already, with great bags beneath his eyes, playing with a pile of eggs and bacon on his plate. You sit next to him and get a glass of orange juice. He doesn't seem to notice you at first, so you nudge him and ask how his night went and if he slept well. "I didn't really sleep at all. After you let we drank some more and then...well." He pulls down his shirt collar and you see a series of bite barks along his neck.A) "I see. Congratulations?"B) "I suppose the gift did it's job then."C) Pat him on the shoulder
>>28767890A+B+C
>>28767913Seconded, all 3.
>>28767913thirded
Is it me or Brutus and Wrenloft left.
>>28767913>>28767925>>28767949You pat him on the shoulder and congratulate him, but he doesn't seem very cheerful. You serve yourself a plate and start making smalltalk, but he stops you, saying that he was only supposed to come down to get something to eat and keep his energy up. You don't quite comprehend, asking him for elaboration, but he merely apologizes and shovels his food into his mouth, then stands and begins limping back to his room. You notice that for some odd reason his legs are bowed, but you ignore it. After you've eaten and had enough juice to drown out the headache, you:A) Go for a walk and try to find the othersB) Head to the bathC) Head back to the room
>>28768130C) Head back to the roomI'm sure they've all got hangovers to deal with.
>>28768130C) See if Anna woke up.
>>28768130B
>>28768172yes, c!
>>28768022Those guys are my favorite. Wrenloft because he loves to push the waifu stuff, and Brutus because he fights it every step of the way.It makes a good dynamic.
>>28768243Yeah, I feel the same.I've got a name trauma, but I think it gives us a better sense of who we are playing with. I suppose I'll pick one too.
>>28768243I will fight then on beaches! I will fight them in the woods! I will fight them in the mountains! And I will fight with them when shit does down!
>>28768303Eh, cmon, some romance is nice, mate. As long as we don't put it above the really fun stuff: Killing lots of heretics with our solar brothers.
>>28768363Key word "Some". It is good in moderation and I shall fight for having more adventure and general choas.
Eh, guess I may aswell join in with having a name.
>>28768168>>28768172>>28768232You leave the mess hall and head back to your room. You notice that your knees and joints don't really ache this morning, at least not as much as they have been. When you arrive back at your door, you try to sneak your way back in, but Leman Russ won't have it. He begins barking and scratching at the door knob immediately as you approach, and you give up all pretense of stealth. When you enter, Anna is sitting up in the bed and stretching her arms above her head. Then she shivers and crawls back beneath the fur blanket. She asks where you went off to and you tell her the truth, about needing something to drink and talking to some friends while you were gone. She tells you that that sounds fun. She then wiggles around beneath the blanket and pops her head out the side of the bed facing you, and pats the mattress invitingly. She looks absolutely ridiculous trying to be seductive, and you can't stop yourself from laughing. You walk over, stepping out of your boots and get beneath the fur with her. You resume your earlier sleeping position and Leman Russ hops back onto the bed, balling up at your feet. You lay there and talk about nothing for quite some time, letting the day slip by. At some point, the both of you fall asleep together again.In the dark, you hear a knock at the door. You open your eyes to a pitch black room. Night has set in, and you can't tell the hour at all. Anna stirs as well, wrapping her arm around your chest and trying her best to hold you without agitating your wounds. The knock repeats.A) Tell them to go away.B) Ask who it isC) Get up and answer
>>28768505B) Ask who it isI guess if it's important we'll get up...
>>28768505B) It's a trap. My experience with doors is that they are always traps.>>28768456Welcome to the fold!
>>28768505C) Get up and answerCould that be adventure knocking on our door? I do hope so.
Also I now request that the quest name be changed to 'Waifu Quest - and I guess we're inquisitors too'
>>28768505C) get up
Last anon left here.>>28768575I second, but only because it made me snort water through my nose.
>>28768575I request you report to the nearest Black fire heretic to be burned alive.
>>28768551>>28768554You cry out into the darkness, asking who would come to your door this late. A voice replies, "I'm sorry sir, but his holiness the bishop has commanded your presence on a matter most urgent. He asks that you dress and come to the sanctum alone, where you will be given further information."You stay silent for a moment. You've never heard of a sanctum, and the bishop has never summoned anyone this late at night to your knowledge. Anna leans up to your ear and whispers, "Don't go. Something isn't right I just know it. Don't leave me here."A) Tell the visitor you can't comeB) Tell Anna you have to go, and leave Leman RussC) Demand more information from the visitor
>>28768668You should probably go ahead and request a sense of humour.
>>28768693B) Tell Anna you have to go, and leave Leman RussBishop's orders. We can't stay in bed with Anna -ALL- day, I guess.
>>28768693C) Traaaap>>28768694>>28768668Is it me or did you answer seriously to Brutus sarcasm? Or were you being sarcastic too..It's hard to tell over the internet.
>>28768745This entire thread is sarcasm.
>>28768693B) Tell Anna you have to go, and leave Leman Russ>>28768694That was my sense of humor though, I mean who doesn't like to stand around a fire on a cold night while some meat cooks?
>>28768769The meat.
>>28768693>C) Demand more information from the visitorWe've never heard of anything like this and Anna thinks something's wrong.
>>28768795>>28768769Frost giants. Frosty. Mr. Freeze.
are previous threads saved anywhere?
>>28768879SuptgI've got this one ready to archive when the time comes.Here are the other oneshttp://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Rags%20to%20Riches%20QuestMind you, the 4th one is marked as 3rd too, some poor illiterate fool...
>>28768879http://archive.foolz.us/tg/search/text/rags%20to%20riches/>>28768745>>28768835>>28768835why so self-preserving?
>>28768693>C) Demand more information from the visitorWho dis nigga?
>>28768693gimme more info!
>>28768916We've never heard of a sanctum. The bishop has never done this before. Anna thinks something's up.Why do you think this is legit?
>>28768957Well, A) our character is shown generally as naive, B) if it is the bishop, we're fucked, C) teh lulz and D) we can take them 1v1 us irl
>>28768957>>28768942>>28768920>>28768916Actually we should tone down the paranoia.See all other quests ever.For a more recent example see what those guys over at Saiyan Quest did in the insectfolk planet.
>>28769004This is the first quest I've ever been a part of.
>>28768998What about the part where Anna doesn't want to be left alone? Can she take whatever?>>28769004I don't think asking for more info is all that big a deal.
>>28768729>>28768769You find Anna's face in the dark, and place a kiss on her lips before telling her you have to go. She tries to prolong your stay by kissing you again but you pull away and get out of bed. You ask the visitor if you at least have time to throw some clothes on and they respond in the affirmative. You cross to your wardrobe and throw on some clean clothes. Anna asks you to put on your mail, and as much as you disagree she begs, and you give in and put it on. Leman Russ whines as you head for the door, but you ignore him and open it. Standing there are three inquisitors in full chain and leather armor. One of them slips past you into the room. You reach out to grab him but the knocker tries settle your worries. "His holiness thought you wouldn't come unless we left someone to guard your woman. We'll be posting sentires both in and outside the door. His holiness requested we bring him because you would trust him."You turn to see that the inquisitor that entered has lifted his cowl, to reveal himself as Andre.A) "Okay. Let's go then. Take care of her Andre."B) "No, nobody comes in here. Leman Russ will do fine for a guard."C) "Don't refer to her like that, or I'll have you hanging from the balcony by your bootlaces."
>>28769042A) "Okay. Let's go then. Take care of her Andre."
>>28769042C) and D) request they stay OUTSIDE the room.There are still 2 inquisitors among them we don't know and Andre might follow extreme orders (see orc babies)And she's an independent orphan girl who don't need no man
>>28769042C) It's a tr... ok, maybe it's not.>>28769036I know it's not, but it could snowball pretty hard. I'll refrain from calling everything a trap (even if it really always is a trap from OP), or from being paranoid of paranoia.>>28769030You'll have fun.
>>28769042>B) "No, nobody comes in here. Leman Russ will do fine for a guard."I don't like this at all. Make sure that she is armed and that she bolts the door after us.
>>28769042Okay maybe A with a bit of B instead of just A.
>>28769116seconded
>>28769102Or maybe it's changelings!
>>28769270Changeling Orcs?
>>28769307Orcs using Rings of Chameleon Power
>>28769325I... ok we need to be reaaaally careful now.
>>28769116>>28769147>>28769179You refuse, telling Andre to wait outside as well. He looks confused, but you shove him back out the door. The then reach into your belt and take out Dad's knife. You then lean to Leman Russ and tell him to guard the door with the hand signs you've been teaching him. He leaps off of the bed and begins to growl lowly at the three inquisitors outside. You approach Anna, feeling for her in the dark and finding her shoulder, then give her another kiss, longer this time, before handing her Dad's knife and telling her to bolt the door and not to let anyone in without the phrase 'sunflower.' She whimpers and agrees, but asks for one last kiss for luck, which you provide before going back to the door. You shut it behind you, telling the three outside to wait a moment. Sure enough, you hear the bolt slide and feel relieved. You follow the knocker down the hall, and come to a large painting of the visage of the sun hanging on the wall. He raises his holy symbol, made of gold, and the wall slides back and reveals a hidden hallway. You enter together, eventually reaching a large circular room with several elders inside. At the far end is the bishop, dressed and looking very worried.A) "What's the meaning of this?"B) "Your holiness, please tell me what's going on."C) Stay silentD) Other
>>28769344>>28769325>>28769307What if the Bishop was a Orc changeling the entire TIME!
>>28769372B) "Your holiness, please tell me what's going on."
>>28769372B) And if needed... dodge!
>>28769372>B) "Your holiness, please tell me what's going on."
>>28769372>B) "Your holiness, please tell me what's going on."And now he takes off his ring and...
>>28769372Wait....Now that this is happening....when we first got here wasn't there mention of the people being content but not happy?Why am I now taking that as a bad thing?>Shadowruns intensify
>>28769418>>28769428>>28769433You descend the staircase into the room and ask the bishop what is happening, and why you needed to be awoken to late. He frowns."One hour ago I received an urgent message from the familiar of the Head Inquisitor. The poor thing must have flown nonstop for weeks, for it died before anything could be done to treat it. The message itself, is partially addressed to you." he says, handing you a rolled up sheet of paper. It reads:"If you are reading this message, I am already dead and my body is long burnt and scattered."It goes on to detail the head's investigations of a town suspected of worshiping and sacrificing people to the God of Black Fire, and in the post script, the head names you as the one assigned to continue his work. A) "This must be a mistake."B) "I'm sorry, your holiness, but there's no way I can take on a mission this great."C) "Are you sure this is real?"C) Other
>>28769643>A) "This must be a mistake."Holy fuck we've only been in the church a year.
>>28769643A) "I'm just a new guy, wouldn't someone more experienced and strong be needed for something so important?"
>>28769643C) Ask for a map so we can locate the town on it and then look for the town that was already burnt down. See if there is any connection between the two
>>28769710Also ask for information about the town. Are they faithful servents? What do are their strategic location? Do we get food or other things from them?
>>28769773What is the town's strategic location*
>>28769643>A) "This must be a mistake."Oh shit. He did name us his successor, just seems fishy that we would succeed him so quickly.
>>28769681>>28769692You exclaim that this must be some sort of mixup. That you have only been a member of the church for a little over a year."I know, child. But you have become strong in that year. Improved your skill at an astonishing rate. The elders have been watching you grow, and connect with other members of the church. We thought it might all be a coincidence, or that we were simply giving into our biases. But one event showed us the potential you truly have. When you journeyed to the Black Fire village, you were trapped without food or water for nearly two weeks. Your comrade, Scipio, nearly starved. You however, were not only able to stand and walk, but to fight. You fought hundreds of men and women with only your bare hands and the Strength of the Gods. But most impressively, you channeled with no symbol."A) "The brands on my back served as my symbol."B) "That doesn't mean I'm ready for this!"C) Stay silentD) Other
>>28769964A) Or did it? Dun dun dun Sol's Chosen
>>28769964A) "The brands on my back served as my symbol."B) "That doesn't mean I'm ready for this!"
>>28769964>A) "The brands on my back served as my symbol."Perhaps it had ought to be SOP for inquisitors to tattoo holy symbols on themselves
>>28770004>>28769995My theory is it's the old "it just gave you confidence" deal.
>>28769964C) Silence is golden
>>28769992>>28770004>>28769995You explain that you were branded with a holy symbol, and that you used those brands to channel the Father's Light. One of the other elder's speaks, "Foolish boy! Do you think it is so simple to channel the might of the Father? Do you not think we would brand all brothers and sisters if such power were so easily obtained!?" You think on it for a moment. The bishop continues, "It was not the brands that served you that day. Yes, they were the outlet of your power, but it was you alone that gave them the ability to serve as symbols. It was your focus on them, not their composition. Do you know why we use gold, silver and bronze to craft symbols of the sun? It is because people value those metals, giving them purpose in the minds of those who use them. Furthermore, the shape of the symbols is crafted carefully, for creating one is in itself a method of channeling the Father. You are no ordinary brother. You are something more. Nothing else could prove your power and skill. You even learned a high level chant of the paladins, one only ever learned through instruction from the elders and years of study."A) "That's impossible."B) "You assume too much of me."C) "This is so much to take in."D) OtherB)
>>28770013Perhaps, but shit, if that is all the more that is necessary, perhaps a self inflicted brand had ought to be a thing we put on ourselves. I mean, shit.
>>28770182D) Ask them what needs to be done.
>>28770182D) "I suppose I'll have to do it then. What's the mission? And even more important, can I take anyone with me?"
>>28770182C) "This is so much to take in."Donnel Tinhead has come far from a simple boy from a farming community.
>>28770182>C) "This is so much to take in."Ok, so enough about me. What do we know?
C)
>>28770241>>28770262>>28770283You nod in acceptance but deep down, you are still conflicted. This is too much for you to come to terms with so suddenly. You ask the elder what you must do, and where you must go."Sending you as you are now would be killing you slowly. You are in no shape to fight, and no magic of ours can make you strong again. However, there is one who can return you to your full capability, and perhaps gift you the power you will need on this quest. Step forward and kneel." You comply with his wishes, and he places his hand upon your head, tilting your face toward the floor. "Oh shining Father of Light, we present to you this brother, who has shown himself to be blessed by your hands. We ask that you give him the strength to make his journey and do your work. He must avenge our fallen brothers and sisters, using your holy might to guide his blade!" You feel a burning heat pour from the bishop's hand and force it's way into you. Your aches and pains fade away, and you can feel your body mending and strengthening. The heat pulses through your body, giving you vigor and confidence. It makes you feel as though you are immortal and invincible. When the bishop lifts his hand you rise to your feet and feel the strength of the sun as if it were right above your head. One of the elders approaches you with a longsword held out. It's guard and pommel are gold, and bear marks of the sun. The sheath is white and lined with gold. You take the sword in hand and pull it from the sheath, revealing a shining blade with a marvelous edge. You hold it out before you, and in front of your very eyes it comes alight with white fire.You have learned the evocation "Holy Fire"cont...
>>28770563I KNEW THERE ARE OFFENSIVE LIGHT MAGIC.Goddamn, I thought we had to go and make some ourselves. Create smite evil so to speak.Or better yet.Goldion hammer. It a move that turns the foe into photons.Or light. They the same thing.I wonder if they got mobility spells?
>>28770655Paladins in Pathfinder have a mount they can summon. Clerics get airwalking. So maybe?
>>28770563You swing the blade a few times to feel its weight. It is slightly heavier than the one you're used to, but it feels good in your hands. The bishop interrupts your examination."You have been blessed greatly by the Father himself. This evocation has been lost to our church for near a thousand years. We had begun to think it not but a myth. There is no doubt in our minds that you are chosen. Your quest begins tomorrow, at the stroke of midnight. You will ride south, to the desert, to find the town where our brothers fell, and find the prophet spreading word of the Black Fire God. We will prepare horses and rations as well as maps for you to take."You ask him if you must travel alone on this quest. He councils with the elders on this matter. They all seem divided on this. Many of them say that with this new threat looming,and fewer members joining the church every year, a man less is one more advantage the enemy has. After much deliberation they settle on allowing you Leman Russ, as well as three companions. You choose:A) AnnaB) AndreC) DianeD) Scipio
>>28770666I was thinking more like that one piece guy that turns to light.He turns him into light and moves at the speed of light.
>>28770698abd
This is a tough question - I'm a bit torn on bringing Anna, since we want to keep her safe and all, so maybe Diane, Andre and Scipio?
>>28770698B)C)D)
D) ScipioIt time for revenge. Revengence.Tell anna the news. This time, we aren't getting captured.
>>28770698A+B+C)I have a feeling this place will become dangerous for our friends if they stay here, it feels like it's safer to take them with us to fight evil heretics rather than stay here...
>>28770698>A) Anna>B) Andre>C) DianeCouple's Quest!
B) AndreC) DianeD) ScipioAnna is too inexperienced for this mission. She just recently joined.Also, waifu but we stick to then first excuse. It makes sense.
>>28770784B-but incest...
>>28770698B,C,DBetter to leave Anna here behind the walls of the city.
>>28770784>Andre and DianeThats incest yo.
>>28770698A)
>>28770794I need a picture of the Lannister family with "What could go wrong?" across the top.
>>28770831
>>28770698>A) Anna>B) Andre>C) Diane
>>28770751Changing my vote toBCDsince people seem to think it's gonna be safe here for her.
>>28770872brilliant
>>28770746True to your reputation
>>28770910Well, he's technically protecting the waifu. Unless you want us to leave her here so she can be harmed more easily.>>28770896>>28770872
Well guys, soon I have to go catch a plane but I'll be on this thread with my phone on the way there and if I can midflight.Please don't fuck everything up while I'm gone.
>>28770952Have a nice trip, mate. We'll probably not fuck up, no promises though.
>>28770910Adventure is upon us and i'm not going to let some little girl ruin it by dieing or something. Better to leave her behind.
>>28770993Too bad Lemann is going to die though.
>>28770993Well, I suppose that's a good motive too. But yeah, gotta protect the waifu even if for different reasons.
>>28770740>>28770746You make your decision, and tell the bishop that you will tell them yourself in the morning."I warn you now. Once you begin this journey, there is no way to know when or if you shall ever return here. The shadows gather even now, sharpening their blades, poised to knock the Father of Light from his throne. There is no doubt in my mind that before this chapter in our history is over, this city will become a battleground. For all I know, we may be wiped out before your quest ends. There are no more safe havens in the world now. Our defense here will only be a prayer, and not all prayers are answered. Tomorrow at midnight, be at the front gates with your chosen companions, and your walk through the darkness shall truly begin."With this, the elders disband and you return to your room. Anna and Russ are relieved to see you, and Anna runs to embrace you. She won't budge for anything, and you are forced to lift her into the bed. When she asks what happened, you say nothing, but tell her to sleep well tonight, and you will let her know everything you can in the morning. The next morning you rise with the sun and pray alongside Anna. She leaves you to train in the garden, not knowing of your healed wounds yet. It is time to choose your companions for this quest. As you reach for the door, you recall what the bishop said. "There are no more safe havens in this world." You decide to speak with your friends first, before you tell them the news.A) See Scipio firstB) See Diane firstC) See Andre firstD) See Anna first
>>28771063d
>>28771063D) See Anna first.While hopefully she's not coming she needs to know that we will be going on a dangerous mission.Also, off now. Comments for the next 3 hours or something will all have to be done on mobile.
>>28771063A) Scipio
D) See Anna firstWhelp, this change things.
>>28771063>>28771063D)>>28771063>>28771080>>28771099>>28771105>>28771111No more safe heavens.. we must take Anna with us. Sorry but he's confirming my fear.
>>28771063>D) See Anna first>"There are no more safe havens in this world."Better that we die together, back to back, than leagues apart, alone and afraid.
>>28771117Hmm, you're right. Who'll we leave behind then? Because if there're no safe havens then we do have to bring her.
guys.Scipio got to stay. His love is at town and he is a paladin. He is built to defend the town while we attack.
>>28771146I think we should leave behind the only person who could probably survive alone because he's just that much of a badass.Scipio.I mean the guy's muscle is probably arrowproof.
>>28771147Fuck that, he should come with us and leave the baby killer there.Yes, I still hold a grudge.
>>28771167Hmm, Andre did kill a baby. But we also did. Should we leave ourselves here?
>>28771200Look at it this way. If the town is attacked by a army of babies we should leave behind a expet.
>>28771214>>28771214expert* Dammit fingers stop doing that!
>>28771214I don't know why but I imagined an army of baby vampires coming from the sewers.
>>28771134>>28771080>>28771117You decide to find Anna first and foremost. You walk slowly through the halls of the Holy Palace, taking in it's beauty for possibly the final time. You haven't truly appreciated the marvel of this place since you first arrived. As you pass through the cathedral, you see several small children praying with the clerics."There are no more safe havens in this world."The words ring in your head like the church bells. You feel an emptiness in your chest, thinking that even these children may someday soon be faced with true terror. You shake the thoughts from your head and continue your trek. You arrive in the garden, and see Leman Russ sitting in the grass watching as Anna practices her archery with blunted arrows and a ring of flowers. She seems very focused on hitting her target.A) Stand and watch for a whileB) Go up to her
>>28771291>A) Stand and watch for a whileHopefully she is ready.
>>28771291B) Go up to her
>>28771291A) We might have to recruit her with us to a suicide mission to keep her safe from impending doom...
B)Guys, we are on a time limit.Get a move on.
>>28771291>B) Go up to her
i haven't been in since the second episode, but when did you fags decide to start making out with our daughteru?
>>28771571When she made out with us.
>>28771468>>28771460>>28771331You decide not to waste time with nostalgia and approach her. As you walk, it becomes clear that she is aware of you, but she pretends not to notice. She stands still, facing the target of flowers, without notching another arrow. It seems she expects you to do something, but there's no time for romance at the moment. You tell her that you need to talk to her about something urgent, and that you can't spend all day here. She turns and sees how serious you are, and nods. A) Explain that you're going to be going away for a whileB) Explain that you want her to come on a mission with you
>>28771619B) It's dangerous, very, very dangerous. But it still might be safer than staying here (unless OP pulls a double 'fooled ya', but we are safe if it's a triple)
>>28771619B) Shes going to come with us, it could be safer or at least give us more time together.
>>28771619>B) Explain that you want her to come on a mission with youEmphasize that she has discretion but also relay the words of the Bishop.
>>28771644>>28771668You explain to her the details of your mission, who the elders think you are, and what is going to happen. You also tell her about your wounds being healed and learning Holy Fire. Her face goes from serious to fearful during the course of the story. At the end you ask her to come with you, because you fear you may never get to come back. She looks down at the grass and wipes her face with her sleeve. You allow her a moment to think, not wanting to rush her into a decision that will change her life."I had nothing before you found me. If you leave, I'll have nothing again. I don't want to spend another day without you. Of course I'll go." You embrace her and she responds in kind. The two of you stay there in the sunlight, and let your fears drift away as you focus only on one another. When you finish, you tell her that you won't be leaving until tonight. She asks to spend the evening together, in private while you have the chance. You tell her that there may be other things to take care of, and she nods. You leave her to her training and go to meet the next person.A) Find Scipio nextB) Find Andre nextC) Find Diane next
>>28771786A) We should say goodbye and warn him.thenB+C) They'll probably be together, so we can recruit both at the same time.
>>28771810Seconding
>>28771810A) Find Scipio nextTo say goodbyeB) Find Andre nextC) Find Diane nextTo join us.
>>28771972>>28771884Eh, I've got support on this one it seems.
>>28771810>>28771884You head to the weight room, where you suspect Scipio to be spending his morning. Your suspicions are confirmed as you find him lifting two iron bells in the far corner. You approach him and ask if he has a moment to speak."Sure, but do you mind if I keep going while we chat? Last night she said my biceps had gotten a little soft lately, so I really need to keep this up"You tell him about the Black Fire worshipers, and how the elders believe they may attack the city sometime in the future. You also tell him about the journey you're about to leave on, to try and stop things from getting too bad. He stands up from his seat, dropping his weights and demands that you bring him with you.A) "No, the city needs you, and so does that woman."B) "Okay. Be ready to go by midnight."
>>28772028Ax
>>28772028>B
>>28772028A) "You must promise me to protect this place, but if all else fails, at least save some of the people and come find me."
>>28772071>>28772054Eh, changed your mind Wrenloft? Do you think we should split up the siblings? I think if we did that we'd have to take Diane with us since she's a caster but I'm pretty sure Andre'd die.
>>28772074This
A) "No, the city needs you, and so does that woman."
>>28772028B STANDS FOR B READY TO GO
>>28772028A) "No, the city needs you, and so does that woman."
>>28772028B) "Okay. Be ready to go by midnight."
>>28772108>>28772071You two agreed.The end is near.
>>28772120Shepard the Reapers are coming!
>>28772074You know what? I agree. I agree to the point where I think we should leave everyone here except for Russ and Anna.The more people the leave behind the stronger the city will be.
>>28772137What if Reapers invade our fantasy world and turn orcs into cannibals.
>>28772192Don't you mean turn orcs into world class chefs?
>>28772207Made me laugh.
>>28772070>>28772074>>28772105>>28772117You tell Scipio that as much as he feels he needs to be with you, this city needs him to protect it. He must stay here and protect the people, and the woman he loves. Scipio grinds his teeth and falls back into his seat. He runs his hands over his face and across his head, then looks up at you and smiles. He stands and extends his hand, and you shake, agreeing to meet back here in the palace someday. He returns to his training and you leave the weight room.A) Find Andre nextB) Find Diane nextC) Finish
>>28772238>B
>>28772238B)
>>28772238C) Finish
>>28772252>>28772269You head to the study to look for Diane. You find her standing near the practice circle, demonstrating a ritual to a group of novice clerics. It seems to be a simple ritual to make drinkable water, but many of them are having trouble. A) Wait until she has a break in her lecture, then tell her about the missionB) Leave her.
>>28772353>A
>>28772353A) Might as well watch it, do we know this one trick?
>>28772353A) watch and learn
>>28772353Questions OP:How long do you plan on going today?When are you coming back tomorrow?What description do you want for suptg?
>>28772353A)
>>28772433>How long do you plan on going today?Until people stop coming or I feel like the story has come to a decent stopping point>When are you coming back tomorrow?About 16 hours from now, give or take>What description do you want for suptg?Sunbros make love, not war
>>28772368>>28772391>>28772418>>28772446You watch as Diane performs the ritual. You missed the beginning, but you can figure out some of the basic ideas by reading the circle and listening to her speak. Eventually she comes to a point where the students have to draw the circle on paper, and you call her over. She greets you warmly, and begins to ask about your day before you interrupt her to tell her about the mission at hand. She says nothing, but nods as you speak about your gift, and where you are going to go from here. She asks if you spoke to Andre about any of this, and you tell her no, at least not yet."I'll go with you. But I have to at least ask. Don't tell Andre. I know he's a big talker, and I know he works hard to be a good fighter, but I don't know what I'd do if something happened to him. He's my little brother, I want him to be safe."A) "There is nowhere safe now."B) "I can't promise not to ask."C) "Okay, I promise not to say anything. But you'll have to tell him something, I won't lie to him."
>>28772520C)
>>28772520C+A) "Okay, I promise not to say anything. But you'll have to tell him something, I won't lie to him. And truth be told, this place might not be really that safe anymore, I think staying with our loved ones and people we trust is the best option for everyone right now."
>>28772520C) "Okay, I promise not to say anything. But you'll have to tell him something, I won't lie to him."
>>28772575Seconding this.
>>28772520>C) "Okay, I promise not to say anything. But you'll have to tell him something, I won't lie to him."
ABCAlso, someone is spreading the word of black fire.Like someone who isn't mind control. We need to find the source, and if we can, bring him alive to beat the truth out of him
>>28772574>>28772589>>28772608You agree not to ask Andre to join you, and Diane thanks you. She begins to cry, and you try to comfort her, but it doesn't seem to help much. She tells you that she's going to spend the evening with Andre before she has to go, and that she'll see you at the gate tonight. You leave the study and arrive at the cathedral. There, the bishop performs noon prayers, and you join him. Today of all the days you've prayed, the golden light of the sun shining and bouncing off of every wall in the room, you feel that your words have true weight. You feel like they aren't just words taught to you by the clerics, but true words of power and meaning. After you finish, you have the evening to use as you see fit before you must sleep and prepare for departure. After thinking carefully, you choose:A) EatB) PrayC) LoveD) Train
>>28772698C)
>>28772698C+B) Ask Anna to come pray with us.
>>28772698B) Got to show that sun god some lovin to yo.
>>28772698>B) Pray>C) LoveWe had ought to spend our time with our fiance, as this may be the last peaceful day we get for a while.
BCAlso, we need to tell Andre of the mission we are going.If he asks, he comes. We aren't going to lie.
>>28772727>>28772736>>28772825You find Anna in the garden, still practicing at the bow. This time you take her by surprise, approaching and grabbing her from behind. As you rest your chin on her shoulder, you tell her that you want to spend this final night with her alone, since it may very well be the last chance you have to do it. She tries to speak, but you tell her not to waste words. You tell her to bathe, put on only her robes and meet you in the cathedral in half an hour. She nods and the two of you separate as she rushes to put up her training gear and you head toward the bath yourself. There you see Andre, but true to your word you speak nothing of the mission, and focus only on cleaning yourself up for the evening. You scrub hard and apply sunflower scent to be extra certain. Andre asks why so much detail, and you explain that you want tonight with Anna to be special. He smiles wryly and offers to leave a bottle from his own small collection at your door, but you decline, saying that you want nothing to dull your senses. When you finish, you head to the cathedral and see that Anna is already there. She kneels before the visage of the sun in only her robes, her hair still damp from the water. You silently kneel by her, and the two of you join hands as you pray. You pray for luck, mercy, forgiveness, health, strength, courage, hope, guidance, and for Anna. You finish in a little over half an hour and the two of you walk back to your room. Once there you shut the blinds and put out the candles on your desk. Sight will only distract you. You both sit on the bed and share a kissing embrace. When you pull apart, Anna speaks something into your ear, and you repeat it back. The two of you spend that evening repeating those words back and forth, in the dark beneath the blankets, as you blend together in the darkness.You awake in the darkness again. There is no sound, but you know what time it is. It's time to leave this bed and this room behind.Cont...
>>28773089You wake Anna and tell her that it's nearly midnight. Both of you slide out of bed and dress in the dark. You don your mail, robes, boots and guards, and finally set your new sword on your hip. Anna takes the old one, along with her bow. You tie the scarf she gave you so many months ago around your neck and tuck it into your collar. As you are about to leave the room, you whistle for Leman Russ to follow. He is already in his pads and muffler, and is not hesitant to show his excitement at being able to go somewhere. You three walk down the silent halls until you get to the main gates of the Palace. 3 horses and a wagon are set before the gates. One of the horses is a strong breed, attached to the wagon to pull it along. The other three are riding breeds, saddled and ready to go. Atop one of them is Diane, wrapped up in her robes and hood. She looks up at the dark night sky, whispering something under her breath. As you round the corner outside the gate, you see the bishop.A) "Is everything ready?"B) "How much time do we have before we leave?"C) "Where are we headed first?"
>>28773205A, B and C, in that order.
>>28773205A and CADVENTURE IS ALMOST HERE!
>>28773226>>28773262You ask the bishop if everything is prepared for your departure, and as a response he hands you a list of the things you've been granted for the first leg of the trip.3 riding horses, 1 workhorse, 1 wagon, 60 days single serving rations, 3 winter coats, 3 bedrolls, 1 everburning log, 1 endless waterskin, 400 gold pieces.He then hands you a map with your travel rout marked in red. The first town you must pass through is only a week from here. Your ultimate destination is the desert to the far south, where rumor has it the church of the God of Black Fire got its start. You and Anna mount your horses, and you look over to Diane to make sure she's alright. She seems very distant.A) "It's not too late to turn back."B) "It's not too late to go back for him."C) "There's no more time for tears. We have a mission."
>>28773442>B) "It's not too late to go back for him.""I think it best if you keep your loved ones at your side and your back than untold miles away. Fetch Andre so that you do not need to wonder how he is.
>>28773442B) We could use more help, and he can handle himself.
>>28773442b
B) "It's not too late to go back for him."
>>28773442>C) "There's no more time for tears. We have a mission."IT'S GO TIME!
>>28773479>>28773481>>28773486You tell Diane that if she runs, she can grab Andre before they get another horse prepared. She looks at you stunned for a moment, then her eyes go wide and she slides from her saddle, sprinting as fast as she can back into the Palace. 20 minutes later she emerges with Andre, half asleep and wearing only half of his armor. Diane helps him into the cart, where he finishes dressing and falls asleep again next to Leman Russ. As she get back to her horse, Diane thanks you while wiping her nose. Finally it is time to leave. The bishop wishes you speed and safety. You head out on the road and make for the south gate.A) Slow and steadyB) Quickly
>>28773639B) Slow and steady only won the race because the rabit was too cocky.
>>28773639>A) Slow and steadyNight riding might be hazardous. We would lose a lot of time if we had to off a horse.
>>28773639A) Slow and steady. Going to fast = breaking something, going to the wrong direction and other similar problems
>>28773713>>28773734The five of you begin your ride out, keeping the horses at a slow trot. As you move through the town, you hear shouting and music coming from several inns that seem to be open late for patrons. Seeing all those people cheerful and vigorous makes your chest feel empty again. You worry about what this city may become if you don't complete your journey quickly. It begins to weigh on you like some beast digging its claws into your shoulders. Yet as you look to Anna and Diane, you rediscover your confidence. There is no doubt in your mind that this mission will be successful. You will complete it because there is simply no other choice. You look back and see Leman Russ string up at the sky. When you follow his gaze you see that you have a full moon to ride by. Perhaps the Moonchilde is also looking down on you, while the Father slumbers beneath the horizon. Perhaps all the gods have cast their chips into this game.So that wraps it up for tonight. you guys get to wait nearly 16 hours for more! Especially Brutus! Suffer! The good news is that once I start the thread up again tomorrow, I'll have that night and all the next day just for you guys! So be ready for that.

>>28773824Also> Perhaps all the gods have cast their chips into this game.Time to fear he who brings the night.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxNwZ0_xvP8
