>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.
After your victorious campaign against the Wyld, you have carved a space for yourself on the island. You have allies, respect, resources. Now, your only question is: what to do with them? Pursue the creation of a kingdom of your own, join with Tianna as a sign of alliance and reward to their hospitality, or use them to sponsor an expedition to retake your homeland?

>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.

Kindness rendered should be repaid with interest.

Alliance and reward to their hospitality is the most appealing choice.

Gem is important but using Tianna as a tool to reclaim it just doesn't sit right.

QM notes: I apologize, but after running a bit of scenarios and playtesting I must inform you of a few changes in system mechanics.

Since we established the mortal maximum to be a score of 3, consequently training charms can boost stats and skills up to your own score or 3, whichever is lower. The cap for mortals with awakened Essence is 4, however, so training charms can train them up to there.
There are several ways to give a mortal awakened Essence: alchemy, meditation, asceticism, Wyld-questing, artifacts, and gods or certain Exalted using certain charms on them. Two such charms are accessible for Solars at Zenith 5 and at Twilight 4.

The Twilight version is a medical/occult procedure. It has no particular limit on how many people it can awaken, and they develop their own Essence. The Zenith version is a blessing from the Unconquered Sun: it can only be maintained on [Social + Followers] people at a time, and the Essence is Solar-aspected (making them sorta-Solar-half-castes). This version is more powerful than the Twilight one: slightly larger Essence pool, and also grants a few Exalted-like benefits (increased resistance to illness, wound infection, blood loss, healing complications, and Wyld mutations).

By the way, people complaining that there is no reason to increase attributes are absolutely right. I'm introducing a few changes. (Keep in mind that, like I said in the first few threads, this "system" I'm using is still untested and being developed as we play. I'm relying on your input and suggestions for this, after all.)

HPs, rather than being fixed, are 2 + Physical + Ox-Body.
Every point of Physical beyond the first grants a +1 damage boost in combat per scene. These can't stack with each other, and the damage cap on a single hit is still 3 (post-soak).
Speaking of damage boosts, up to now I've been activating them on my own, when it felt suitably dramatic. Are you fine with this, or would you like to control this directly, or establish a fixed rule for them (i.e. always use them when available, use them every other attack, etc)?

Social-type backgrounds are capped by your Social score. Also, every time you increase Social, you automatically (or rather, naturally over the next few days) acquire a number of background dots (not necessarily Social-type backgrounds!) equal to your new Social score. This is, of course, above and beyond any backgrounds you obtain in the normal course of play.
Additionally, your Social score is your "damage" in social combat.
Let me explain how social combat works.
Every person has a list of things he cares about. People, issues, ideals. A small subset of them are basically invincible unless you manage to completely break them (a long process): these form their Motivation, the core of their being. The stuff that make people say "I'd rather die than [___]".
To make a very obvious example, Maka is clearly in Tia's Motivation, and no amount of persuasion will get her to betray it.
All other issues are called Intimacies and rated 1 to 10. These are important but not life-defining. People might still be willing to risk or give their lives for them, but it IS possible to persuade them otherwise.

File: 1396604773338.jpg-(92 KB, 1000x750, Sunburst.jpg)

In social combat, you either want something short-term ("let me through this locked door, mr.

Guard") or long-term ("be my friend"). If it's short term, a successful attack will usually get you

what you want unless there's a Motivation or strong Intimacy against it. If it's long-term, you're

either building a new Intimacy or destroying an old one. In both cases, your Social is how much

points you shift with one attack. You can only move that many points in a scene, so powerful

intimacies must be made - or dismantled - over time.
Unnatural Mental Influence attacks, on the other hand, ignore this system and outright make or

destroy Intimacies in a single blow, unless the target can spend Essence to deny them.

Essence pools are equal to 3 + Mental + any charms increasing maximum Essence. A higher Mental also

speeds up recovery from all sources (natural breathing, Manses and Demesnes, Hearthstones).

(Thinking of something else, but nothing comes to mind.)

>>31255035
Zenith 5 it is, then. Having an army at the peak of mortal potential is good enough, sidekicks as Awakened we don't need a fuckload of.

>>31255052
Always use boosters when available. No point in saving them up, really. Unless you decide to cruelly exploit the decision with higher-damage-dealing reinforcements at some later date.

About TWTT, it's a nerf. Ok, that's fine, but since it was nerfed after we got it, is it possible to refund a proportion of the XP we spent? Like getting 2 XP back out of the original 10?
>>31255052
For damage boosts, i say the current system is fine, dramatic timing is nice and fun.

Social...well i don't like the background capped by attribute but ok, fair enough. Give and take. Getting extra dots is a fair trade for what is almost an XP sink.

We don't need a refund. The entirety of mortal human potential for killing shit is a difference of four dice. Our soldiers with identical strategies to the enemy will kill three times as fast and last three times as long. Glorious golden Solar strategy and inspiring peptalks will extend that farther.

Sorry, under this new system, last almost twice as long.

Rolled 5

>>31255287
The difference between a hypothetical pool of 8 and a maximum pool of 6 isn't ' Just two dice. It's 25 percent or 1/3, depending on which direction you slice it. They go from being able to have a dice pool twice the size if a hardened veteran to only half-again as large.

That's definitely huge, regardless of whether or not a partial refund is justified.

It's all really important to Maka
Tianna has been good to her, Amata took her in and expected nothing back
Gem is her home, Maka calls herself a queen even after being exiled, it's her past and it's her backstory, Gem has any family she left behind, if she left any
But most important is that it's what we want to do, we're not obligated or forced it's our choice to do these things

As you spend your time staring into the horizon and thinking, a plan forms in your mind. It's something you've been thinking now and then, but you never acted on it
Now, however, might be a good time.
You HOPE it's genius. It sounds like that in your head. Maybe it's just silly, though.

You share it with Tia, and while her enthusiastic approval doesn't do much to persuade you that your plan is entirely sane (knowing her not exactly intimate relationship with mental sanity), it convinces you to see it through.

Your heart now more at ease, you turn around, leaning on the parapet, looking at the crew working the ship.

Your trip back to Tianna is going to take the better part of a day, and is a journey in calm, safe waters. Even though the deck of a sailing ship is not very comfortable place, you think it might be useful to try and train some of your mortal followers.

Your understanding of Essence, especially as you led your men during the last battles, has recently brought you to develop a new Power that should help you train them faster and more efficiently. It's still untested, though.

Apart for members of the Bloodshark's crew you know as passing acquaintances but are not very familiar with, on the ship with you are Regis, your young butler, and Rubeni, the ship's captain. You could try training, for half a day...

>Regis.
>Captain Rubeni.
>A volunteer from the crew.
>No one, you have other stuff to worry about.

"...Hey, Regis, come a moment here." You call out to him.

Regis, who was sitting on a barrel staring idly at the sea, probably dozing off, is shaken back awake by your voice and leaps down from it. "Uh- yes!"

"How was it with Dancing Smoke and Yaraon?" You ask him, inviting him to lean on the parapet with you.

"It was weird." He admits. "I never though gods were like that."

"Um, about that. I think Smoke is a bit of a special case." You giggle.

"But, it was amazing. I never met a god before. Spirits, Fae, Exalted. The last few days have been incredible." He says, excitedly.

"And dangerous." You reply. "If you want to stay by my side, you'll have to understand that it's going to be risky. And I might not be always able to protect you."

"...You want to send me away again?" He whimpers.

"No." You pat his head and ruffle his hair, trying to cheer him up. "I'm saying you'll have to get stronger. I can train you, if you want."

He looks up to you in amazement. "Will I become as strong as you?"

"Okay, maybe not THAT strong. But certainly stronger than any other kid your age. Stronger than most grown-ups, too."

He looks incredibly eager.

"But." You lift a finger to admonish him. "You have to promise you'll be responsible."

"Yup!" He nods energetically. "I promise! I won't bully people."

Yeah, of all people he probably knows best how it feels like to be pushed around by those stronger than you.

Well Tia was already wiping the floor with everything two threads ago, so I say go for it!

You begin by putting him through a basic training regimen, or at least what you can get him to do on a ship. After stretching and warm-ups, you start giving him weights to lift, pull or drag, in the form of boxes and barrels that can be found around the ship mostly.

At first the people of the crew seem to not take the training they're seeing you put him through seriously, and you suspect that the only reason they don't outright point and laugh is that they're afraid of you.

Regis seems to have noticed as well, but he apparently doesn't care, and goes through with it, following your commands

The crew turns to genuine curiosity when they see him bench-press a half-full barrel of water, something that would take some effort even from a muscular adult.

His progress during the training is incredibly fast, and you guess he can only sustain the strain you're putting his body through thanks to the Essence you're weaving into him.

Interspersing the weight training with stretching to give time to his muscles and body to adjust, and in order to not make him too stiff, you spend the rest of the day closely following him. You take few breaks.

As night falls, Regis collapses on the deck, utterly exhausted.

Your Power works, it seems. Though you'll put its results to the test once Regis has had a bit of rest to be sure. But still, you've seen the kid go through some improvements that normally would take months of effort and training, in a single day. It's not surprising that he'd end up destroyed at the end of it.

You pick him up from the deck and put him to rest in a hammock in the crew's quarters. He's worked hard, and deserves his rest.

What about you now? You should be in Tianna's port by dawn.

As you take a turn under-deck, you notice, in the darkness of the unlit ship, Dancing Smoke stealthily creeping up to a door.

Well, "stealthily" is a bit of a big word for that, considering that parts of her glow in the dark. Probably "silently" is more appropriate.

"Oh, Smoke." You call out.

Startled, she turns around and makes a "Sshhhh!" noise and motion.

You approach. "...I wanted to talk a bit with you, actually... but, what are you doing?" Then you lift an eyebrow. "Isn't that Samiel's room?" You ask, nodding at the door she was peeking on.

She nods with a large grin.

"...I've been noticing you seem to bother him a lot." You mention. peeking into the room as well. It's dark, but Samiel seems to be peacefully sleeping in his hammock. "Is there any specific reason why you're stalking him?"

"He's just cute." The goddess replies in a whisper. "And most of what we gods do would probably be considered "stalking" by you humans, but we're usually dematerialized so people don't notice."

That answers to a lot of theological questions you might have had, actually. "But, really, Samiel, cute? He's more... I don't know, he's all grownup and serious."

"But that's what makes him cute." She giggles. "He tries so hard. He's so earnest. He tries to be cool. And he's so easy to embarrass"

You're sensing a pattern here. "...So, he's like Yaraon?"

"Exactly." She points out. "Well, not really the same, Yaraon's more on the cool side and Samiel's more on the hardworking side. Plus, they're both kind of bad with women it seems."

"Well... he gives that idea." You respond. "...You think he prefers men?"

Her grin becomes downright predatory as she slowly opens the door. "Not for long."

You quietly sneak into the room, taking advantage of the darkness, and conceal yourself in a corner. Dancing Smoke sees you moving in after her (and gives you a wink), but Samiel is none the wiser.

She walks up to the hammock and gently brushes his cheek, and he jolts awake with a little scream.

"W-what- YOU." He shakes his head, now fully awake, frightened and confused. You imagine that Smoke's partially-glowing shape in the darkness must be quite spooky if seen all of sudden.

"In person, sweetie." She replies.

"Wh- what do you want from me?"

"Oh... just some fun together." You can't see clearly from the angle, but you'd guess she's unbuttoning Samiel's shirt.

"You are- what?" The poor guy's confused as hell.

"Is this your first time? Don't worry. I'll be gentle~"

"Alright." He grabs her hands. "What do you REALLY want?"

"...Is it that hard to believe me?" She wonders, now genuinely intrigued. "Or do you have some kind of hang-up? You're so stiff all the time..." And after a glance, she adds: "...pun very much intended."

Okay, you have to admit you had to force yourself to not laugh to that one.

He lowers his guard, and lets go of her hands. "...I'm not sure I want to talk about it."

"Could be a good chance to get over your problems." She replies. "I'm here. I'll listen. I've got nothing better to do. 'Sides, I'm not sure there IS anything better to do on this ship than to hear you talking about yourself while I gently undress you like thiiisss~"

"Oh, I'd like to hear about it too." You stand up.

Samiel's gaze darts from Smoke to you and back to smoke. "...Is this gang rape?" He jokes nervously.

"If it were, I'd have brought Tia along." You point out, stepping closer. "...I still might, though."

"I don't see how all th-this c-concerns you." Dancing Smoke, professional molester, is on the offensive, as Samiel tries to keep the situation under control, and fails miserably.

"Because we want to help you." You reply, closing up to him on the other side of the hammock. "Well, I'm sure Smoke wants to help you, too." You smile.

"A-alright, I'll t-talk, now Smoke... please stop doing that."

"No way." Dancing Smoke, professional molester/therapist, replies. "This is part of the treatment. Besides, if you didn't like it, or you didn't want it, you would've put up a struggle." She licks her lips. "Now be honest. There's nothing to be ashamed of, right? We're all consenting adults spending a cheerful night together. You're, what? Thirty? Fifty?"

"...I'm eighteen years old."

You and Smoke stare in each other's eyeballs. She breaks out in a giggle, with you quickly following. "Alright, technically adult."

>>31257852

>>31257863
exactly. Tia wouldn't go slow enough that we could enjoy his stuttering

As an aside, Samiel is really surprisingly competent for an 18-year-old.

I'm also thinking his habit of being a stick-in-the-mud is less him actually being a stick in the mud and more him doing his best to be serious and professional despite being significantly younger than everyone else. He's probably just overcompensating.

>>31257852
Tia can enjoy being gentle. Besides, you should be worried about whether Dancing Smoke is going to use her tail on him, not whether Tia will try to monopolize us.

Not true. Tia rushes with us because we're her Maka and we can take it. But we've seen that she does have a softer side and enjoys extended foreplay, we just also like skipping to the main course. But Sam's a blushing stutterer, you have to pause and appreciate that...and poke the skittery mouse with your claws just enough to make him jump and squeak.

>>31257899
As a Dragon Blood there's a good chance Samiel is sturdier than Dancing Smoke.

"So, you sound like you have a story for us." You grin, leaning on him, gently stabbing a finger in his cheek. From this angle, your tabard should give him a fairly nice view, and, predictably, that combined with Smoke's gentle, warm touch, breaks him down in next to no time.

"...I've had a story."

"What kind of story?" You and Smoke ask him almost simultaneously, like old aunts eager to hear how their cute nephew is doing.

He is... slightly less eager. "I almost married into House Mnemon."

You sigh. No way this is going to end cleanly. "...Arranged marriage?"

"Not really. Mom didn't want to do it while I was still a kid. She wanted me to decide, once I grew up. But... she didn't have a lot of choice at the time. The island was doing poorly. Drought. And..." He pulls up his pants, struggling against Dancing Smoke's grip. "ARE YOU HERE TO LISTEN TO ME OR ARE YOU JUST HERE FOR THAT."

"Aww, why can't I have both at the same time?" She pouts.

"...Go on." You poke him.

"...There's not much to say, really. We needed an ally. I was thirteen. Got engaged. She was a fey years older than me. The first times, when we met here in Tianna, she seemed so kind. So gentle and sweet. And I really wanted to help mom out. But..."

"Let me guess." You reply, ironically.

"There's not much to guess. I spent half a year in the Realm, in the Mnemon household. Once there, everything changed. I was treated like a servant. Made fun of for being a "lost egg", practically a barbarian to them, to be educated back into society." He clenches his teeth. "The actual barbarians I've fought with yesterday were a lot better than them. And that... that harpy. I was just a toy for her. She just wanted Tianna as a colony, as her playground. Her grandmother promised her that she'd get to rule it if she married me."

That story went south quickly. "...What happened then? Did you leave?"

"...I didn't. I didn't want to ruin the alliance mom had to bargain so hard, to stake so much to get."

Even Smoke has stopped molesting him, captured by his story. "...But, how...?"

"Mom found out." He replies. "She found out that my letters home weren't really mine."

"They didn't even let you wrote home?" You ask.

"Oh, they let me write, but I have no idea how they changed the letters before they were sent." He replies bitterly. "I just know that mom and sis found out."

"What did they do? Did they break the deal?"

"They couldn't." He explains. "If they did, well, that would've left me stranded in the Realm. I was basically a hostage. So what they did was instead say that she was so pleased with the alliance that she wanted to make the engagement into a full-fledged marriage, on condition that it was to be celebrated on Tianna."

You gulp.

"Yes, I don't know by what miracle it didn't end in a war." He sighs. "My mom... she called off an alliance, and almost started a war with the realm, because of me."

You guess that that's why he's so serious about his job and duty. He really wants to make himself useful, after being just a pawn in this kind of horrible alliance scheme, and after her mom risked and sacrificed so much for the sake of his happiness. Not something many monarchs would do.

Smoke is actually holding back tears as she hugs Samiel. "...You had to go through so much... I understand now."

"Now you see..." He struggles out of the chokehold. "...I just want to be left alone."

"No." You point at him. "You don't really want that."

of course, that chart is silly as it says that putting sam out to stud with essence 2 gods or elementals will result in an army of DB in a single generation.

So If Tia's gotten Maka preggers, (probably), we're going to have a litter of little beastman babies in a few months.

New plan guys...

If she gets Maka preggers while in beast form, yes. Otherwise they'd just be normal human looking spawn.

Only if she's in her beast or warform

You nod in response. "Threesome." And grab her wrist. "And Samiel's in charge."

"...What the heck are you talkin-" He's interrupted as you gently help him down the hammock.

"Would be way too crowded with three people on that." You wink at him.

He's left speechless.

"Come on, you're a man." Smoke hugs him from behind, her hands snaking their way into his clothes. "You're young. You have... needs. Needs that's not right to leave unattended. It's all right to cut loose." She whispers in his ear. "Don't be shy. You can pretend I'm your old fiance... It's alright to take it out on me~"

"Or me." You close up on him from the front. "For tonight, You have both of us here, at your service..." You invite him.

It takes a bit of warming him up (figuratively at least), but once you get him going, you have to admit that he really cuts loose.

He clearly had a lot of pent-up anger and frustration to let out.

And we reopened our wounds. Again. Goddamnit.

Only if she was in animal form while doing it - which is a possibility. But yes, they would be silver children.

On a related note, Maka is probably already pregnant. EF had her note in character that Tia hasn't been paying any mind to contraceptives, and we haven't exactly been using a ration of maiden tea.

So, assuming she is pregnant for the sake of discussion, what's the plan for keeping the bab(y/ies) safe and well-cared-for once they're born? A Tiger-Warrior nanny trained in Falling Blossom? Hiding them away somewhere isolated and safe? Never letting them out of our/Tia's sight and defending them with our life if need be?

Nah, Sam was in as bad a shape as us, I doubt he could do that without hurting himself
