He sighs. "...Tia went out on her own, into the Wyld. She was... very upset. Angry." He scratches his forehead, troubled. "I've never seen her so angry. Granted, I haven't known her for long. But I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of any fae she comes across right now."

"Did she say anything?"

He pauses. "Only three things. "I'm sorry". "I'll kill them all". And "I'll protect her". That's all." He frowns, looking at you, but saying nothing more, waiting for your response.

>Who are we?
Maka, an exiled noble recently Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. She's in the western city of Tianna as a guest of queen Amata (DB), an old friend. Abyssals are targeting the city for conquest, Lintha pirates have infiltrated it with spies and agents, and half the island is controlled by paranoid Lunars. Fun times.
During the invasion of Tianna's Wyld-ridden swampland (as a favor to the Lunars of the Three Rivers circle), you and Tia, your slightly psychotic Lunar Mate, almost feel prey to a particularly manipulative Fae's mindgames. As you wake up after passing out from your wounds, you find out that the battle is far from over...

>Solar? Zenith? I don't know Exalted...
This quest is as newbie-friendly as possible, and I want it to work as a newbie's intro to Exalted. If you have ANY question, ask in thread. For the setting, google "1d4chan exalted".

>Archive?
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=zenith

>System?
Dicepool-like system. When performing an action, everyone rolls 1d10 when posting. the first X rolls are considered, where X is equal to attribute + ability. Yes, this means that the more people are posting, the stronger Maka is, up to a limit of her attribute + ability.

>XP?
Attributes cost [current score x5] xp. Abilities cost [current score x3] xp, except Zenith costing [(current score x3) -1]. Charms cost 10 xp, except for Zenith-based charms (related to charisma and physical/mental fortitude) which cost 8 xp. At the end of every "session" (thread) you will be presented with a list of possible acquisitions.

You take a deep breath, rolling over in the bed. "I should probably rest until I get back all of my Essence. I burned a lot."

"Join the club." He replies, pulling the blankets back on you. "I and Talon have basically been taking turns up to now. Which means progress is slow. No one was expecting the Fae to have this much resources-"

"You've woken up!" You hear Regis' voice as h opens the door and rushes in, up to your bed, looking very worried. "Are you alright? Is everything fine? What happened? Where did Tia go?"

"...Give me a moment, Regis." You try and calm down your little butler and focus back on Zaan. "...So, what's the overall situation?"

"Lava, inundation and the action of our god and spirit allies, combined with the defeats we inflicted over the Wyld's hobgoblins and behemoths, has cut down the swamp to about half its original size. I don't think it's possible to make it any smaller with our current resources. The only way we'll be pushing it back is over several years of orderly settlement, city planning, thaumaturgical iron seals - long-term stuff."

"And in that portion of Wyld there's still two fae nobles, and their main stronghold." You mumble. "What are your and Talon's intentions on this?"

"Talon is pretty adamant. He wants the Fae slain or out of the island, and all the Wyld reconverted to Creation in the long term. And I'm with him."

"What drives him so much?" You ask.

He pulls up a chair. "...Did you ever hear from Talon or Tia about the Thousand Streams River Project?" You shake your head. "Than you need to know."

"...It's not like I'm going anywhere." You say, as Regis climbs onto your bed and sits on the ledge, eager to learn more as well.

Hello, EF! I was wondering, how would have the last session went without IPP?

"A concept that some Lunars agree on is that there is a need to restructure human society."

"...What do you mean?" That statement is both vague and loaded as hell. "Why?"

"Because it doesn't work." He points out. "The Realm is the world's superpower, and it has proven time and again to be corrupt and dysfunctional as hell. And no Threshold nation has shown, this far, any promise. The Thousand Streams River Project aims at the creation of a new kind of society. One that doesn't need the Exalted."

"...But Exalted are working towards it?"

"At first. But only at first. The idea is to build a society that can rule itself, in a just, egalitarian manner. Then hide in the shadows and let them take care of themselves. Because..." he takes a deep breath and smiles grimly. "...Because we aren't exactly the most reliable people, we Exalted. Sometimes we fly off the handle. Sometime our power drives us to madness. Because maybe the world would have been better off without us."

"Is that what you believe?" You ask, neutrally.

"I have not a vested interest in the Thousand Streams River Project, but I have promised Talon that I would have assisted him. I honestly don't know how far he believes in its ideals, but I know he wants to, over time, forge the northern tribes into a proper nation that will fit into his idea of how a nation should be." He looks up to you. Regis does, too.

Damnit, I wanted a thread of Tia's shenanigans as she nursed us back to health, not her flying off the handle doing what we did essentially.

>>30951007
>I don't know. Exalted are human too, and both us and mortals have the same basic human flaws.

It doesn't, but, for example, Maka is built to be a charismatic and inspiring leader bar more skilled than any mortal could be.

Ah, forgot about the Sid factions, but IIRC Bronze is majority?

>>30951213
Bronze was always a 95% majority, Gold faction was just a few Solar apologists.

Only recently, as Solars have been returning, Gold faction has started to grow and gain influence.

There are also Independents, who just want to concentrate on the properly Sidereal work, and apparently a few Sids have formed a "Silver Faction", that supports the Thousand Streams Project and sometimes help Lunars, but they work in secret.

>>30951213
They are, but for an organisation like that Numbers don't count for as much as they'd like.

"...Well, I don't... I don't know. He obviously put more thought in this than I did." You reply. "But..."

"But?" He seems interested to know about your doubts on the matter.

"...But, well, both the Exalted and the mortals are human. We are more powerful, but... we have the same flaws. I don't really know if such a plan is a good or a bad idea, but I'm sure mortals can be as evil, or as good, as we can be."

He nods.

"Besides, leading from the shadows has never been my calling." You grin.

"The return of the Solars has really wrecked the Project for a lot of Lunars, for that reason." He nods. "You're meant to be, you're MADE to be shining heroes, examples for humanity. To lead from the front, to inspire, to stir hearts and minds. That doesn't work particularly well with the Thousand Streams, you can guess."

"So... I think I'll sleep a bit. I can't be of any use like this. I have to rest and recover my Essence." You tell him. "...Can I ask you to look around for Tia for me?"

"Sure." He nods. "That girl can be a handful, I imagine. I was going to get out there anyway. Samiel should hold the fort until you feel better, and Flow is trying to carve a path from the sea to here to regroup."

"What about those two gods?" You ask, trying to not giggle as you remember their antics.

"Probably the same. Until we can move the ship again, this is our rally point. I've managed to create an island of stable Creation all around it, and it should hold for a while." He stands up and turns to the (repaired) door. "You can rest."

"I'll keep guard!" Regis cheerfully promises, pulling an iron knife from his belt.

"...Thank you." Feeling safe, you slowly drift back to sleep.

[Healed 1 HP] [Full Essence Recovery]

You wake up some time later, feeling more rested. Your wounds still hurt, but Zaan's treatment seems to have sped up your recovery by quite a bit: most of them are scarring and quickly closing up.

You stand up from bed and unravel your bandages, waking up Regis in the process.

"I wasn't sleeping!" He shouts, startled.

"...It's okay, Regis. Nothing happened." You calm him down, amused. "Though I should probably get dressed..."

After losing both your tabard and the gossamer clothes you had stolen from Garnet, your total wardrobe right now amounts to a pair of armored gauntlets and nothing else, in fact

And it's not like the ship is going to have a vast selection of clothes, you imagine.

You send Regis on an errand to find you some clothing, which in turn draws the attention, once the words spreads, of... pretty much the entire crew.

They waste no time in finding, scrounging, some skilled sailors actually making you some improvised outfits, and commenting and giving advice on what you should wear.

That (barring the panties), is my exact mental Image of Maka

>>30951732
That's pretty good, and looks practical.

Though given Maka's rather infeasible chest, how would that chest shawl work?

Would she just tie it the same and let it drape over the top, leaving considerable underboob?

So support, but then again, the Maid's comments come to mind.

She would just need a somewhat longer chest shawl.

Regardless, being a chest shawl, it would flip up whenever we do things like jump or fight, just like that tabard.

>>30951845
>Would she just tie it the same and let it drape over the top, leaving considerable underboob?

Given Maka's considerable size (and assuming the shape in the Statcard pic is accurate), I expect it would be barely enough to cover the nipples, leaving the majority of the breasts as underboob.

I'm thinking it should also have a few nods to being a Zenith priest-monarch.

The amount of free clothing and fabric accessible to you on board is colorful but the craftsmanship is limited, even considering how eager to provide you the crew is.

Some fans of your previous "jacket and boots" look vouch for wearing a long coat. Other produce clothing more fitting for a male pirate, which you unfortunately have to reject because it would fit you badly (except for the barechested varieties, which you do consider for a while).

But then, you decide on a colorful silken shawl, in red and yellow and with hanging blue gemstones, which you drape around your neck like an oversized scarf so it hangs over your chest, and then partially wrap the rest around your head like a turban.

As for the lower body, a suspicious pair of panties are produced. You have to wonder who kept them and for what reason, but still, without many other options, you try them on. They're quite a bit too small for you.

Agreed. I'm thinking a hybrid of papal and royal coats of arms, but with Exalted/Zenith symbolism and imagery. Let's see what the Zenith symbols are supposed to be...

>Anima Banner:Zenith Caste Solars bear large, bright-gold circular caste marks. Their animas are a brilliant, burning white or a majestic gold.

>Associations:The season of summer, the colors of gold and cobalt blue, the southern direction, the element of earth, the half moon and the Maiden of Serenity

>Sobriquets:Resplendent Suns, Pillars of the Sun, Solar Thunder, Golden Bulls, Hammers of Heaven, The Blasphemous (derogatory)

So, white, gold, cobalt, the South, earth, the half moon, summer, pillars, thunder, bulls, and hammers are all things strongly associated with the Zenith caste.

I think we can make a coat of arms from that.

I don't think we should be wearing panties that showed up from out of nowhere while we are in the Wyld. And we need a shot skirt because of swamp and stuff.

I'm thinking we wear a simple, white stola/toga.

What do you think for our coat of arms/anima, though? A blazing circular golden shield, white bulls supporting a cobalt-blue gemstone with a brilliantly stylized sun-crown on it? With the gem conveniently at a height to frame our head, and the crown sort of hovering above and behind it?

Thoughts?

You tie some iron plates over your gauntlets, replace the panties with a short skirt made from some of that elegant fabric draped around your waist and tied to one side, and head upstairs on the deck (while some passed-out pirates are forced to stay in the infirmary).

"Maka." You find Samiel upstairs, talking with Alexei, Rubeni and Quint. "...They told me that a lot of stuff happened while I was passed out. I'm sorry."

"...Don't be." You reply. "I'm the one I knocked you out in the first place. But anyway: I'm heading out. I'm worried Tia might do something stupid. I need you to stay here and defend the ship: Flow and Smoke might be here soon. This is our gathering point: defend it."

"Of course." he nods. "You going alone?"

We should probably take one with us so we don't go out there with complete mooks. But the rest should be more or less safe here as long as something insane doesn't happen.

Yeah, I know, it's Wyld.

"I'll just take a small group of 10 volunteers. I'd like you people to stay here." You say to the captains. "Help out Samiel."

"Alright. Be careful out there." Rubel nods, turning to the crowd. "Any volunteers to go out with Maka?"

Everyone steps forward.

"...In the Wlyd? Full of monsters and Fair Folk and incomprehensible reality-changing energies?"

Some of them step back.

"Transforming your small intestine into snakes, turning your eyes to glass, bugs crawling under your skin, your nails growing inside your fingers... Ok, you're down to ten volunteers now. You guys, get some extra weapons and armor, the iron talismans of protection Zaan made, and move out."

A few minutes later, everyone is ready. You climb down from the ship's hull and walk into the Wyld, focusing your mind on your own reality.

[Integrity-Protection Prana: 4/5 Essence]

Your men, a mix of pirates from all three crews, are festooned with a variety of iron weapons and carry some armor, mostly light chain. They crowd around you nervously as you push out of the small island of Creation centered on the Bloodshark, and back into the damp, dark swamp.

Mental + Zenith = 6 9 6 8 2 9 = 3 successes

You carefully explore your surroundings. The ground is a sludgy mix of soil, dead grass, and dirty water. Dark, gnarly dead trees stretch their limbs to the overcast sky.

You're not sure how following tracks works in the Wyld, or even if it works, but what else can you rely on?

The fact that there are fishes made of liquid glass swimming in the water, and around you flutter butterflies whose delicate wings are expertly crafted from tiny bits of human skin mounted on a silver wire frame, is not reassuring on the logic of this place.

However, after you and your men have searched around a while (and found some even stranger things), you stumble into a shattered bone knife and a bit of dark red blood spattered on a tree.

A bit further ahead, a cut on a tree's trunk, like an axe blow missing the mark.

"I think we're on the right track, boss." One of the pirates mentions, handling the knife in his hands. Another pirate slaps it out of his hands. "Don't touch that stuff."

As you follow the track in the thicker part of the forest, you come across a shattered tree covered in blood.

No, not shattered - it's been cleanly cut in half by a single blow. The cut is perfect, with no splintering.

"Something tells me she's passed by here."
"You don't say."

Less than twenty meters from there, you stumble into a massive pile of hacked bodies of hobgoblin lizardmen, most of which look like they've been passed through a very sharp blender. There are bits scattered everywhere.

"Alright, yeah. You're right. DEFINITELY been through here."
"Told ya."
"Shut up, you two."
"Are they... dead?"
"What do you THINK, genius?"

From here on, it's very easy to see the rest of the track. Just follow the cut trees: she basically blazed a trail.

You wonder if she did that to leave a track on purpose, or she was just venting.

Mental + Twilight = 8 6 4 10 = 3 successes

By now you're quite paranoid of fae trickery. You order your men to stand back, and approach the corpse pile.

The bodies are slowly melting and vanishing, returning to the stuff of the Wyld. Despite this odd behaviour, it seems to be nothing more than a giant pile of corpses.

Looking around better, you find the distinctive footprints of Tia's stiletto boots into the soft ground. It was definitely her.

Nothing you find in there seems suspicious, so you decide to move out, with your volunteers, along the path.

You keep travelling following the trail for about a hour (you THINK - it's hard to gauge the passing of time here) until you reach a more open, less forested plain, where the ground is more solid - more grassland than forested swamp. Of course, purple grass is kind of unusual, but you've seen worse in this crazy realm.

However, you hear and see, moving through the fog, not much further ahead, what appears to be a rather large party - which is, doubtlessly, partially made up of hobgoblin lizardmen, as you recognize their distinctive vocalizations.

Pretty sure we can only get up to six dice for Dawn stuf without using charms. We don't have an applicable charm and there's only one success in the first six dice.

No, I mean the difficulty.

No way only an 8 passed on a Dawn skill.

Rolled 1

>>30953558
...what? 7+ is a success, with 10's counting as two successes. Exalted uses a fixed threshold for measuring success on a die.

>>30953568
We've gotten way more successes on lower-than-sevens in the past before. Tons of times.

Rolled 4

>>30953589
...no. We definitely haven't. 7, 8, and 9 are one success, and 10 is two successes. You're very wrong.

>>30953568
not quite. 7 is 'standard' difficulty out of combat, 6 is 'standard' in it. But depending on how easy or hard something is, that difficulty can be raised or lowered, and sometimes multiple successes are also needed, even though one successful die roll normlly gives you an average success

>>30953589
Per die:
Rolled 7-9 = 1 success
Rolled 10 = 2 successes

Now, if no successes are rolled for a given action, but at least one 1 is we botch, sort of like a critfail.

Most actions require some number of successes to be rolled and the outcome is affected by the number of extra successes we rolled or failed to roll.

Rolled 9

>>30953689
Sidereal Exalted. Solars are the chosen of the Sun, Lunars of the Moon, and Sidereals of the Stars - the Maidens of Fate, specifically. They get powers based around manipulating fate/probability/physics. They can do things like hide in teacups, shoot a handful of sand out of a bow, and dodge by having always been having tea all afternoon instead of fighting you in the first place.

In-character, almost no humans in Creation remember they exist, because they broke the part of reality that lets people remember they exist. Exalts have less of a problem with this, and gods don't have any problem remembering them at all. Still, there's basically a 100% chance we've never heard of them in-character.

They work as secret agents/ninjas for the Bureau of Destiny in Heaven.

Any other questions?

>>30953689
The Sidereals are the Exalted of the Five Maidens of Destiny: Mercury, the Maiden of Journeys, Venus, the Maiden of Serenity, Mars, the Maiden of War, Jupiter, the Maiden of Secrets, and Saturn, the Maiden of Endings. There are only 100 of them, and they oversea the Loom of Fate in Heaven, which directs destiny for Creation.

Because of their connection to Fate, they're particularly good with Charms that bend reality. They also have impressive martial arts.

You order your men to stop and lay low.

Form out of the fog emerges a group of lizardmen. They're carrying, by hand or on pulled carts, boxes, chests and bags of various types. An enormously muscular monster with two deer heads grafted on an oversized human body accompanies them.

At the back of the column, a fae apparently made up entirely of a mass of water (or some other liquid, given the distinctly blue tint) held together in human shape is riding on a small but elegant black sedan chair carried by four of the largest lizardmen of the group, apparently made of lacquered wood.

"...Halt." she orders, stopping her entire group. The lizardmen drop their baggage and draw weapons nervously. "I can see you." the Fae says. "Come out, I have no intention to fight. I'd like to have a word with you."

You emerge from your (apparently insufficient) hiding place. The lizardmen snarl, but stand still. Your men follow you out of hiding, clenching their weapons and making superstitious gestures.

"Well..." The fae brushes back her liquid hair. "I've decided to call it quits. Dorian was a good lord, but he's too tied to this place to know when he should give up. I've managed to wrestle myself free from his control, and now I have every intention to leave the wreck you've made of my place and find another home. You win, Exalted. Just let me through without giving me trouble and we can both be on our merry way."

Swear upon your Heart that you will not harm, directly or indirectly, myself, nor anybody currently assaulting the Wyld, nor anybody they know, and I will let you pass

How big is their group?
Because if she's leaving I'm okay with letting her go, after she swears she isn't going to hurt anyone else on the island and is going to leave and never come back

Ask where she's going, if she plans to leave Creation then we'll have no issue with doing this.

Contagion is ultimately the god's fault.And solar twats would have kaboom'ed everything, if not based sids would bravely cut their throats in sleep by way of dragondinkies.

basically what simulates a Soul for fae nobles, as well as giving them independent thought and the concept of emotion

"I'm totally not trying to trick you, nuh uh!"

Contagion was launched by the Dowager. What do gods have to do with it?

Rolled 1

>>30954112
The Fae do not have emotions, they are just a hungry reality maw, they fake emotions and stuff with graces, that are objects.

The Hearts Grace is their Will. Without it they have no free will and they have the will of the one who has it to a greater or lesser degree depending on interpretation.

>>30954120
With that line of logic everything is the fault of the Primordials, in the end

>>30954177
not really. The gods murdered a bunch of dudes that can exert considerable influence after being dead. It's not the fault of the watch dogs that can't see over the fence, that these dead people are leaking gas into the lawn. It is more a direct fault of the original murderers though that these dead people want revenge.

>>30954091
Remember how last thread EF reminded us that no non fae on the island even know what Graces are? Yeah, that's a thing you should account for.

>>30954035
>Implying Solars and their nearly destroying all reality every week because they were bored was any better
But seriously, we should keep the splat arguing/fanwanking out of these quest threads. This is what the general is for.

>>30954039
>Attack her party
FUCK dealing with Fae. Seriously fuck every bit of it. I don't care if she's being truthful, there's way too heavy of a chance that she's trying to trick us. The only good Raksha is a dead one.

Asking for a tribute would just guarantee her betrayal. Narrative Wyld, and all that.

>>30954120
There was no guarantee that the Path of Gold would have destroyed the world, but it was directly the fault of the Usurpation that the Deathlords exist, and even without them life in the Shogunate was significantly worse than life under the Deliberative. For one, since mortals could no longer have a chance of being your next life, life got significantly worse for them.

At least the Lunars have been trying to make Creation a better place. The Sids are swamped just trying to keep it from getting worse.

>>30954039
Did we not fucking learn from last time not to trust Fae who pretend not to mean us any harm? Fucking kill it.
