You are Shax Bonemurder, Raid Leader! You've lead many raids today and as a raid leader you're proud of the leadership you showed your raid while raiding as its leader. You were on the way back home when someone troublesome showed up...

>CURRENT RAID ROSTER: http://pastebin.com/mZgVD5yH
>ABILITY TREE: http://pastebin.com/aBfqv1vP
>I'm the Boss!: 1

>You currently have:
>5/24 BtB exp
>6/24 MSiF exp
>17/18 CyRCTHaM exp

The axe was far huger than anything you've seen before, and her slight frame suggests that she'd never be able to pick it up, but she hefts the giant weapon all the same and levels it at you. The spike sitting atop the axehead suggested the weapon could be used just as easily as a spear as it could an axe.

Xab, Kuzr, and Mnar were wounded, and weren't going to be much help. You have the trolls, the golems, Nost, Truz, Bearbreath, and his lynx here. The axe-wielding girl has two elves, one in armor and one in a robe, and a bulky half-orc with two crazy looking swords that he is drawing out with both hands.

"It is sad to say, goblin, but your pointless acts of destruction end today..." The girl lets out a soft laugh, as the robe wearing elf chants a few words, her visage splitting into five hazy copies, dancing around in a circle. The armored elf lets out another chant, and the axe-wielding girl slightly glows. Uh-oh. You think you might be outclassed here. Good thing you have numbers!

What's the plan, boss?

>Rush the casters with the big guys! Those elves are up to no good.
>Tie up the orc with the golems! You'll handle the casters!
>Druid guy do some druid things to keep the axe lady away while you try to handle the rest of the folks!

"Hey, Bearbreath!" You say, getting the gnoll's attention, "Is there anyway you can keep that lady off me for a bit?" The gnoll nods and starts waving his arms. After a few impressive sounding words a bunch of vines shoot out of the ground and wrap themselves around the girl's arms and legs.

"Hmph, don't think these will hold me for long," the frilly girl says as she immediately starts straining against her bonds. You'd be more worried but you're already rushing straight at the two elves. That orc dashes straight towards you faster than you thought anyone could move, his two hooked swords at his sides. This guy isn't going to make your job easy, is he...?

A spray of colors distracts you temporarily and when you come to your senses the orc is there, both swords above his head. One of the golems crashes into him, and sends him flying. You shake your head to come to your senses and see the armored elf grow huge. The robed lady sends a straight line of fire right at you, which you manage to snap your sword in front of just in time. You feel the heat wash over you, but it doesn't manage to scorch you at all. This is a little more intense than fighting random militia!

You hear a roar and glance behind you to see Bearbreath turn into a giant grizzly, who then charges at the orc the two golems are fighting. The two trolls are heading at the armored elf lady, and Nost and Truz are with you.

Who do you want to try and fight first?

You figure the trolls can handle the one armored lady long enough to take out the real trouble maker, the lady currently flinging fire at you! Nost and Truz rush with you as you get near her. It's time for your special move that you just thought of! With a running start, you jump off the ground with the sword held behind you! Time seems to slow down as you fall towards the elven spellcaster, and you can feel the wind as you start slamming your blade in a colossal overhead chop! A ridiculous crash is heard as you land, splitting the earth and... apparently evaporating one of the images flitting about the mage. Darn.

Nost charges in, swinging his glowy hammer and another image vanishes. This is annoying. Truz is trying to circle around the mage.

The armored elf smashes Alfonse with a large mace, but between him and Snacky, they should keep the elf busy. Bearbreath is currently glowing and you see sparks flying off him. The orc is, somehow, wailing away at one of the golems and seems to be actually putting some real damage on it. With swords. How the heck is that even possible?

Some of the vines holding the axe wielding girl snap off, but she's still tied down for now. You're gonna need to hurry! The robed lady isn't gonna make this easy on you, as a giant scorpion seems to appear from nowhere next to her! The druid's lynx pounces the arachnid, keeping it busy for now.

Jeez, this is just troublesome.

You can't get a clean hit while those images are there. "Hey, Truz! You ain't doin' anything so get to work tossing rocks at these copies!" Nost is flailing wildly at the images, but only the ones he hits actually disappear. Truz spins up his sling and starts launching rocks as quickly as possible. The first three swing through air, but the fourth lands with a solid thunk.

The elf lady stumbles and falls over with a comical shout. Now's your chance! You dash towards her and go for another Megaton Sky Hammer Attack! The results are messy and best left undescribed. You hear a clap of thunder as lightning blasts through the half-orc. Who is still standing afterwards. And has somehow whittled one golem down. He's some sorta monster!

The armored elf lady has managed to beat Snacky down with her mace, and the troll is just twitching on the ground. Every goblin knows you can't keep a good troll down for long, though! Alfonse keeps determinedly attacking the elf, who seems to be mostly unhurt.

The vines from the other half of the axe girl's body snap off. Only her feet are wrapped up now. Which she hacks away easily. Her dead comrade doesn't seem to upset her at all, and she has a manic grin on her face as she turns to you. Uh oh!

"Bearbreaaaath! Can you tie her up again, please?" Bearbreath just roars. Oh, right. Bears can't talk. You hope he is saying, 'i'll get right on it, boss'

Ack! She's coming right at you! She must know you're the boss. Well, you do have a natural boss-like quality around you. She kicks off the ground and comes rushing at you, axe held down like a lance, before planting a foot and swinging it in a wide slashing arc! You can hear it tearing through the air as you dodge backwards. Woah! Even if you blocked that, you're not sure you'd be standing. Now you know how your opponents must feel!

"Your sword is as ugly as you are, monster," The girl begins with a laugh, "Unlike my weapon! A family heirloom only those with the blood of nobility can wield. It's beauty is incomparable to a crude slab of pig iron like yours." She giggles.

"Wow," You reply with a sniffle. That actually hurt your feelings a little! "That was just uncalled for, really, I think."

"I've been trained since birth to use this! Hundreds of techniques have been drilled into my mind and body!" She takes a strange stance, holding her axe out and downward, with her fingers on the end of the weapon in a strange gesture, "Take this!" She spins twice and brings the axe down over her head in a chopping motion.

What an elaborate chop! Truly, an equal to your megaton sky hammer! But... isn't it just a chop? You side step it easily.

This lady is a bit of a large ham, you think?

Wait, so she's nobility? Wouldn't that mean she knows a bunch about the whole city of Manderlin? That could be useful for the whole army, right? If you're the boss, you need to think about the big picture! Now that's boss thinking!

You dodge a few more wild swings. Her moves are really showy, but they don't have the primal killer intent you've been facing your whole life. She's got an annoying laugh, "Oohhh ho ho ho ho!" It rings out as she continues her onslaught against you. Still, it is hard to find a moment to get in there with the storm she's kicking up. Honestly, if you weren't used to fighting with a huge weapon you'd probably be pretty intimidated, but what she is doing is honestly amateurish. Heck, she is making a lot of mistakes you were... Wait. You've got an idea! She is going for another wide horizontal swing, so you slam your blade firmly into the ground. When her axe arcs into it, they collide with a ear shattering clanging sound. You feel your teeth shake, and your head is rattled, but you were ready for this! It takes a second, but you wrench your sword out of the ground, which has now been shoved a couple of inches, and dash to the axe-girl.

She's currently holding her head and staggering about.How ideal! You swing the flat of your blade just as she looks up to catch the sword on her face. She sprawls backwards, and lays there unmoving. Hope you didn't kill her! Time for prisoners!

The orc neatly dodges away from the golems, runs over to the girl and scoops her and the axe up. Whoa, where did he come from? Bearbreath launches another bolt of lightning at him, but he dodges. Lightning. And starts running off faster than you can imagine. Okay, yeah, you'll let that one go. The combined forces quickly take out the remaing elf. Well, that went better than expected? Let's head home!

What do you wanna do when you get there?

Except the gnolls, they were already level the second. Please select their skills. ...What's that? Oh? The players only control Shax? In that case, please observe the skills your loyal raid members have taken!

Gneb levels up! Gneb takes Momma Oughta Be Proud! Though he has a coward's heart, Gneb will eagerly perform any acts of heroics he think will impress his mother!
Kuzr levels up! Kuzr takes Vigilant Kouhai! Always watching from afar, Kuzr will do anything for his senpai. He is content to protect them from the shadows, though he dreams that one day senpai will notice him...
Rund levels up! Rund takes Whipping Boy - NO MORE! He's ready to discard his former status as whipping boy, throwing that identity in the trash can. Allonces is a hero, and he will be one, too!
Xab levels up! Xab takes Toughness! He gets +2 hp per level, counting previous levels.

Mnar levels up! Mnar takes Two Weapon Fighting! "That half-orc looked super cool, I wish I looked that cool..."
Truz levels up! Truz takes Accounting! There is a lot of loot going around. A gold boom. If he can institute an economic system with him in control, the profits will be enormous!
Nost levels up! He takes Skill Focus Perform (Harp)! Everyone calls him stupid, but he weathers their insults willingly, for inside him is the heart of a musician.

Mliboopadoop levels up! He multiclasses into cleric! He can't cast anything good yet, but he can cure minor wounds! He won't let a Kuo-Toa die in front of him again!

Snacky levels up! He chooses to eat his skill selection.
Alfonse levels up! Allonces decides that he takes Skill Focus Craft (Calligraphy) to write truly elegant invitations to her tea party. Shax still hasn't gone to one!
>>
Milda levels up! She takes Divine Metamagic Extend Spell! Might as well get a bit better at protecting those idiot brothers...
Dorle levels up! Dorle takes Chemical Warfare! What if he mixed his sister's cooking with explosives...
Mani levels up! Mani takes God Damn Cobbling! My fucking feet hurt all the time from this marching god dammit

Wow! This raid is truly impressive, now! You obtained a bunch of magic scrolls of indeterminate content! You've obtained several pairs of comfortable shoes! You've obtained a dead soldier's locket pciture containing his true love who was waiting for him at home! You saw the axe girl's panties when she fell over! She can never get married now. You've gotten so much jewelry that it has started to lose all meaning to you. You've obtained an unidentified magical sword! You've obtained an unidentified magical hat! You've obtained an unidentified magical WIZARD'S hat! You've obtained several wands of magic missle! Some idiot just had four of them in his house. You've obtained two pairs of magical gloves! You've obtained Witch Boy's weird anatomy books with lots of pictures of naked women. You've obtained several unidentified potions. You also got jewels equivalent to two thousand gold pieces.

It's time to settle in after an intense day of raiding! The camp is filled with snores from all the exhausted goblins. You'd never snore, though. That's something boys do, obviously. You wake up and stretch languidly, eager to face a new day. The morning people are up, cooking lavish breakfasts with the influx of new supplies. It makes your mouth water. While all the people who are grouchy in the morning stay in bed and grumble that everyone is making too much noise.

You've eaten probably your entire bodyweight in chicken by the time you realize that you ought to do your job. Didn't you promise the witch boy you'd give him his stuff? What'd he even say he'd do for you in return? Just 'things' right? Now that you've seen the kind of books he keeps, you're kinda worried what things he had in mind...

Still, you might as well keep your promise.

You grab a leg of roasted mutton and head over to Milda's place. She's squabbling with her brothers.

"Hey, Milda," You say, knocking on the door frame, and chewing a huge chunk of meat.

Mani and Dorle stop fighting and give you a salute, "Mornin' boss." "Heya Shax."

Milda gives them a matronly stare and walks over to you, "Hey. What's up?"

"Was just wonderin', you know that Witch in his creepy hut? Where'd you put his stuff from that list?"

Milda looks around their makeshift building. "Oh, I've got it over here. Why do you ask?"

"Thinkin' bout handing it over to him today. See what he wants to do for us in return. Wanna come along?"

"Sure," the dwarven lady says while rummaging through her stuff, "I'll get it all together, and we can head out whenever you're ready." Neat. That's one down.

You try to find where Bearbreath is at in the camp. Mr. Fetidclaw has more or less started integrating with the rest of the raid no problem, and you see him with a few of the boys swapping stories. "Hey, do you know where Bearbreath has gotten off to?" You figure if anyone knew it'd be him. The gnoll tips his head behind him. "Sits out in the forest, not anywhere near the camp. Says the spirits don't like this place or something." Oh.

It doesn't take you long before you spot the giant cat, and Bearbreath shortly after. "Hey, Mr. Bearbreath! Wanna help me deal with a witch?" The gnoll is in the middle of eating some kind of stew, and just cocks his eyebrow at you curiously.

"A witch? Sure, I guess. Are we killing it or recruiting it. I really can't tell with you." You don't know either. You hand him some mutton, which he eats as he comes along. You give him the short version of the story.

Finally, you're back in your basement and you see Allonces is well enough to be having tea with Alfonse. "Hey. You tired of being cooped up in here?"

"oh my god yes please find something for me to do" Well that was easy. She's still covered in bandages, and wont' be much use in a fight, but might as well drag her along before she drives the whole camp crazy (she only drives you crazy). Still, you manage to get everyone together and start heading out! You still have your map, but that doesn't mean anything!

From now on we should always take a tracker with us when we go somewhere.

Oh boy, forest adventures?

This right here is why OWQ is one of the best quests on the board.

Bravo for getting the comedy bang on.

Something feels familiar about all this. Well, not the area you're in. You've got no idea where that is. But this familiar feeling of being lost. Out of place. It is a melancholy feeling, a nostalgic sensation that-

"Shax! Where the hell are we going?" Allonces cuts off your train of thought. 'shut up stupid, we're going to the witch boy's house!' is what you'd like to say, but you have no idea where that is.

The good news is that map is now supremely useless, so you don't need it anymore. Being free of that sort of mental burden is liberating.

"Hey, you're a druid, right, can't you, like, commune with the wild or something to get us on the right track?!" Allonces is starting to panic, and shouts at Bearbreath.

"Unfortunately, no. There is something here torturing the spirits of the wild. I admit to being agitated myself by it..." He trails off as he enters a clearing. You're not sure what the fuss is, so you follow after him.

The clearing is filled with the bodies of wolves. Dozens of them, recently killed and bleeding. The air smells like madness. Oh, right, wasn't this part of the side quest or something?

"The hell happened here?" Allonces says, approaching the clearing before Bearbreath stops her.

"I would not approach, if I were you. Who knows what insanity lurks here."

What's the plan boss?

>Well, this is neat but we've got business to take care of! Try to get back on track.

Well, I would approach. So do that.

Sorry elfy, we're probably going to get you killed here.

A side-quest interrupts our side-quest!

This seems like something we ought to have a ranger for.

Guess I'll count up votes? Writing.
>>
>>30590150
Out of curiosity, how much loot did we bring with us to be identified in the end?
>>
>>30590186

Just the hats and gloves since that is all you'd use. You don't care enough about the other stuff, but you'll get Whoop or someone to look at it later.
>>
>>30590205
Good, not much we can lose in a fight.
>>
>>30589903
>>Well, this is neat but we've got business to take care of! Try to get back on track.

>Check surrounding area and Nah tied!

You glance around a bit. Allonces isn't up for a fight, but this seems recent. You ought to at least look around while it is fresh, you guess.

"So if you don't want us entering the clearing, mind if we look around a bit?" Allonces looks pretty nervous. "Just a quick check to see if we can gather any clues quickly."

Bearbreath seems to be deep in thought, but after a moment he says, "It shouldn't be a problem, whatever fell influence seems to be concentrated in this area."

You have Milda watch Allonces while you and Bearbreath check out the surrounding area. Most of what you find is just blood or tracks, nothing overtly suspicious sticks out. "What, uh, do you think the problem is, Mr. Bearbreath?"

"It appears to be unnatural, for certain, and the problem is elemental in nature. Though of what kind, I'm not entirely sure." Well, that isn't much help. So there might be some sorta rogue elemental force in this area, then? You'll have to keep that in mind.

Before too long, you call off the search and meet back up with Milda and Allonces. "Not much out there, that we can tell." The druid shakes his head. "Just be glad that we didn't run into them in the middle of their frenzy. That many wolves could have probably taken us all down." Oh, that's a good point. You'll have to keep that in mind.

Anyway, back on the trail. You and Milda brainstorm and tell Bearbreath about what you remember the surroundings of the Witch Boy's house was like. He says he'll do his best to try and get you back on the right track.

You can't MAKE us finish the quest! We'll be walking around for a while longer!
>>
>>30590475
Thanks anon, that makes me feel fluffy inside!

But seriously, what the hell is up with this quest. This is the most consistent I've ever seen in any quest ever. Goddamn.
>>
>>30590500
Just make us end up back at the camp and force us to take a tracker with us!
>>
>>30590608
It's cursed with the most dreaded curse of all, confirmation bias.
>>
>>30590629
That is a thing, I suppose we could actually add up all the rolls in past threads and get an average to get actual statistics. But that'd be a pain.

Gimme a sec, I'll do exactly that. I don't have much to do today.
>>
>>30590725
praise be anon

>>30590725
Good man, I wouldn't include rolls outside of the first 3 though. Just the ones that are valid for the quest.
>>
>>30590725
You really shouldn't bother.
>>
>>30590759
I'm counting all first threes and all used rolls so we can see how bad crits have screwed us.

>>30590791
> I don't have much to do today.
Besides, I'm curious too.
>>
>>30590394
Woo! Actually in time for this quest. Here have a loli Guts.
>>
Okay you've been out here for most of the day. Night is starting to fall, and you don't really want to be creeping around in a forest at night. Especially one with a bunch of crazy animals, a rogue elemental, and a perverted witch boy in it. So you tell everyone you're setting up camp.

You have a hard time going to sleep, and it didn't help that the cat decided to curl up with you, and then Allonces decided to curl up with the cat, and then you had cat drool on your armor and Allonces drool in your hair. Gross!

You woke up to the smell of something cooking. It smelled nice. You yawn and rub your eyes. You wonder who is cooking. The lynx had left already, but Allonces was still snoring in your ear.

"Hey, Raid Leader," a familiar voice calls out. Oh, it is that dark elf scout lady. She's cooking some of your food! How rude! "I fixed this for you."

"Thanks you say," and immeidately begin eating it. You're still a little offended she took your food.

"So, uh..." The dark elf lady begins, a little confused, "What are you doing out here? With, like, three other people." She looks at the gnoll, and gives a pointed look at Allonces, "Two of which I didn't even know were part of your group." She didn't know about Allonces? You think you told her... but I guess she never met the girl.

"I was out hunting for a witch," You say, between bites of food. "But I got lo-" Wait, should you be admitting that? "I got caught up securing the area. Can't be too safe, you know!"

The lady just chuckles, and grabs some food for herself, "Look, as long as you do your job I don't mind. Speaking of which, how has it been going since the last time we met?"

===========================================================

Stopping here for today! It was fun, but something came up! Sorry!

We'll spend points next thread.

Thank you for playing, and reading, and being a great audience! You can see when I will run again on twitter, and I hope everyone had fun!

Maybe I'll give you all my results next thread. I'm missing LGA right now!

And ya, it seems like it's just confirmation bias so far.

>>30590925
Thanks for running Chief!

>>30590925
Thanks for running!

We shouldn't forget to mention the gnolls as potential allies for the upcoming surface invasion. We should also explain the power struggle, perhaps our bosses will send someone to help with that and secure the alliance.
