>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, an old friend. Abyssals are targeting the city for conquest, Lintha pirates have infiltrated it with spies and agents, and the Realm is probably planning to get rid of you.
But things are also looking up. You have gathered a lot of allies, have a powerful Manse under construction, and are unifying Tianna in a great nation under your overwhelming charisma.

>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.

>Twitter?
@exaltedfag


Also, a few updates on my situation:

I'm very busy with preparations for my journey to England, and after that I'll be even more busy with actually working there. I'll try to get some threads in before I leave, but once I go, I'll have to take a break from the quest until October, when hopefully I'll be back to March-April posting rates, since I'll have once again what are my ideal conditions for questing.

As usual, I encourage everyone following this quest to keep an eye on my twitter for updates.

Who here would be totally on board with Regis exalting as our circle's new Dawn/Night or Slayer/Scourge in the last post of today's thread?

>>33309249
Nobody but a few stupid chucklefucks.

Who are you kidding? You ARE worried about Maka. The fact that she's an Exalted AND your mistress doesn't help with that. You wonder what's happening, and if the Abyssals somehow have something to do with this.

...But, the truth is that there's not a lot that you can do. You're just a mortal and a servant, and you don't even know where to start. You've asked around, no one knows, what next?

You sigh, reassuring yourself that's she's certainly fine. She punched a Behemoth, after all. Is there anything she can't handle?

You resolve to spend your time for yourself, and just keep your eyes and ears open. For now, you'll just wait.

So... how should you spend this sudden and unexpected vacation?

First of all, Millian. At this hour of the day, she's usually tidying up Maka's room, and should be almost done.

You head on location and knock on the door out of habit, and, as expected, Millian's voice replies from inside: "Mistress Maka is away."

"I know." You respond, opening and entering. The room is perfectly clean and in order. You're not sure if that's because Millian did a good job as always, or simply because Maka didn't sleep here. You never know, with her. "Any idea where she went?"

The maid shakes her head as she finishes to inspect a closet. "Wasn't she out dealing with Abyssals in town?"

"She returned later that night, but no one knows where she went after that." Right, she was probably already asleep at that hour.

"So she disappeared inside the castle." She notes, before blushing slightly at the thought of the implications. "...Again?"

"...No, I don't think she went on some of her... "adventures". I would have known."

Short pause as her stern gaze pierces through you. "Do you spy on her?"

That's... not what you meant. But you're not going to walk out if this without giving an answer, it seems.

>Yes

Someone of them, who is easier to approach. Maybe Regis would assume that they know where the Solar is. Or, at least, they have something useful for him to do - you know, expand the skills, broaden the horizons.

"You are?"
Remember, Millian is the one who have Maka her tabard in the first place.

(Social + Zenith = 1 4 = Botch!)

You stare back at her right in the eyes, puff your chest out, breathe in deeply, and like the real man you are, you reply, brimming with confidence:

"Er... um. Well. Y- yes?"

That sounded better in your head.

"...I'm her butler, you know." You add, defensively.

"...Yes. I know." She sighs. You thought she'd be angry, but apparently knowing that just made her... sad? Why? And why does talking with women feel like a minefield sometimes?

"I meant that I need to-"

"Can we drop the subject?" She asks, slamming the closet door, face completely flushed.

Yeeep. Definitely a mine. You need to steer this conversation somewhere else, fast.

"Oh, um... See, since Maka isn't around and we don't have much to do, I was thinking of spending some time in town." You explain to her.

She keeps staring at you. Now with less hostility, but like she's waiting for you to finish.

"You know, there's a lot of places we haven't visited yet. And I've never been to this sort of huge city before, so I was curious."

She smiles. "Well, I can show you around a bit if you'd like."

"Thanks! I also wanted to visit the temple of the Sun that Maka told us about."

"Sure. We can check it along the way. I managed to sneak just a peek at it... it didn't seem like much. But then, they ARE going to move to Pearl, after all..."

"Yes, but I wanted to meet Pyre Spark, the priestess there."

"Well, partly." Before she can reply, you add: "After all, she received Maka's Tiger Warrior Training as well, and to a greater extent than either of us. I wanted to see if I can learn something from her. Besides, we should be in touch. You know, just normal courtesy. We're all on the same side, after all."

This seems to put her at ease.

The two of you leave the castle and take a peaceful stroll down main street, amusing yourselves with come harm less idle chatter.

"...so THAT's the story behind the tabard?"

"Yes! I never thought she'd actually put it on. And now it's almost weird to see her without it. Although with that kind of body she'd make anything look good."

Up to now you've mostly considered your relationship with Millian something strictly professional, or, to be more precise, you never thought much about it at all. But you have to admit you feel comfortable with her around.

And she seems to enjoy your company as well. It's weird. You've never had someone your own age around you, or...

"Oh, we're here."

You're shaken from your thoughts by her voice. "...This is the temple of the Sun?" You ask her.

She nods. "I told you, it's not much."

"I can see why they want to move over to Pearl. I wonder how the work there is going on."

"They're Exalted. I'm sure they'll pull off something completely amazing." She replies, stepping inside the small, dusty old temple.

You follow her. "Miss Pyre?" You call out. The words echo, but no real answer comes. The building feels deserted. The blinds are shut and the inside is dark.

"...Did we end up here at the wrong time?" She wonders. "But it's almost noon, they should be getting ready for prayer..."

Maybe they've already packed up and left for Pearl, you think. But, before saying that out loud, you realize it's unlikely. They would've at least locked the door.

"...I hope this isn't the Immaculates." Millian mumbles, now visibly spooked. The floorboards creak under her steps as she walks to a window and tries to undo the latch keeping the wooden blinds closed.

"I know they had a history of bullying and threatening the people of this temple, but I thought Maka had-"

Your words are cut short by a sudden gust of wind, slamming the door closed.

Full of dread, you pull the handle and try and get it open. Nothing. The metal feels cold and dead to the touch.

You turn around. "...Millian?"

"...I can't open the windows, either. Are we locked in?"

You kneel in front of the door. You've had some experience of burglary, and you know your way around a locked entrance.

...And this door isn't locked. The mechanisms are broken.

Or rather: they're frozen solid.

"...Something evil is going on." This feels like one of those circumstances where you feel justified in saying that without fear of sounding corny or over-dramatic. "...I'm sorry to have dragged you here, Millian."

"Don't be silly. You didn't drag me. And neither of us could have known." She deftly grabs a nearby broom, left propped against a wall, and decapitates it with a kick, leaving her with a sharp piece of wood. On your part, you unsheathe your cutlass, feeling nonetheless inadequate.

Whatever is going on here, it's obviously supernatural. And doesn't want you to leave.

"...Wasn't this place supposed to be holy?" Millian wonders, trying to sound brave. But you can tell by her voice she's scared out of her mind, pointing her improvised spear at the darkness.

You're not any better. "Try telling that to... whatever this is." you mumble. If only you had a torch or a source of light...

"...actually, that's a good idea." You whisper at her. Just as you do so, you see... something.

Red eyes suspended in darkness. Smoke and frost. A cold breeze passing on your skin. A shiver on your spine...

"What?" The presence is just behind Millian, drawing closer.

"THE ALTAR! RUN! NOW!" You shove her aside, just as the presence suddenly gains weight and substance.

You hear its feet slamming loudly on the wooden floor, which creaks under its weight, and feel a terrifyingly cold blade sliding effortlessly into your side, piercing through your ribs...

[Health: -2] [3/5]

For a moment, your mind goes completely blank with cold, fear and terror. You hear malicious laughter echoing in your ear...

...Then, suddenly, it turns into an annoyed scream as Millian slams her pointy stick deep into its semitransparent body.

For a moment, you're entranced with the sight of this ancient, ghostly warrior, ethereal blade in hand, staring at the piece of wood embedded in his chest. You can even see the part of the former broom handle stuck inside him, albeit with some difficulty, like through murky water.

Before you have time to react, the presence turns immaterial again, dissolving in fog and smoke, and the improvised spear clatters to the ground with an eerie noise.

You both take that as your cue and make a mad dash for it if what you hope to be the right direction.

Shit! He might actually bleed to death from that!

>>33311426
I don't know if ongoing damage is a thing in this system. We've never had to worry about bleed damage before, even right after Deled's water dickery turned most of our internal organs into jello.

but this is pretty bad, hopefully we can turn this around

Rolled 10

>>33311455
In Exalted, exalts don't really have to worry about bleeding to death - they can reflexively choose to stop bleeding - but mortals do. Mortals are every big as squishy as in real life. Regis has a serious chance of bleeding to death, having permanent disability, dying of an infection, and other horrible fucking things that happen when someone shoves a piece of metal roughly through part of your body.

STOP WASTING OUR CRITS, JESUS.

Along the way, you stumble and trip several times, your strength failing you. You feel cold and numb all over. But, with Millian's support, you manage to slam open a door and break into a dimly lit room - still better than the total darkness near the entrance.

You hear Millian slamming the door behind you, but you have the suspicion that it's a completely futile gesture. However, once your eyes decide to work again, you realize that you made it to the alter room. Little more than a wooden desk with a black cloth covering it, embroidered with the golden eight-ray sunburst of the Unconquered Sun. On the altar rest two golden (likely brass) candelabra filled with a forest of lit candles, dripping and almost entirely exhausted.

"...We're here, I guess." You mutter weakly. "I hope this will hold him at bay."

"What WAS that?" Millian tries not to panic.

"...It looked like a ghost. It had a horned helmet... or maybe horns himself. Curved sword. Weird armor..."

"Why would a ghost haunt a temple of the Sun?" She drops to her knees next to you. "...You're bleeding."

"Thanks, I noticed." You mumble, trying to stay focused.

You hear Millian ripping her dress and feel her trying to bandage your wound, but you keep your eyes fixed on the door.

That creature can turn immaterial, so there's no reason he shouldn't try to attack you again. Unless...

You are interrupted by the most wonderful sound in the world right now: something slamming loudly on the door.

"...Why are you grinning? He's trying to break down the door!"

"Because he can't walk through it. The altar IS protecting us." You try and stand up. Everything hurts and you're all covered in blood, but Millian seems to have done a good job.

She pushes you down, forcing you to sit, and then quickly moves to a nearby pile of chairs, pushing them against the door. "That's good but now stay down. You need to rest!"

But why the fuck would a tiny shadowland have formed inside a shrine to the UCS? That's just about the last possible place something like that should happen.

Rolled 5

>>33311644
It formed everywhere EXCEPT the shrine.

Something fucked up happened here - but, considering the appearance of the ghost, it might have been an ancient thing that got reawoken by Abyssals/Maka's fucking around with the Directional Titan. I'm expecting a lot of ancient things thought long buried to start unearthing themselves as the situation beneath the island becomes more and more apparent.

Rolled 8

>>33311671
No, it's still inside the shrine, just not in the room with the alter proper.
That would mean that some fucked up shit happened in this building, and the cult was a good bit weaker than we thought before we arrived, if their prayer only managed to consecrate one room. A cult in good standing would have that effect over the whole building and probably banish weaker ghosts in the alter's presence outright.

You look at the altar. Maybe...

"...Can you hold him?" You ask Millian, who is busy piling all sorts of things onto the door.

"I can try." She stops a moment, turning to face you. "Why?"

"I want to try something." You reply. And then: "You look good with a short skirt."

She blushes. "You- you stop trying to be brilliant and try and find out what the heck is going on!"

You turn back to the altar and search around a bit. Finally, you find what you were hoping to see: drawers hidden under the cloth. And spare candles in one of them.

"...I've never been a very religious person." You whisper to the candles as you start lighting them and replacing them on the candelabra. "Always thought gods wouldn't have much reason to care for me, so it was only fair to act the same to them. Besides, what would I have to gain from them?"

"But I guess you just saved my life here. You probably didn't even notice it, but still, I should thank you. I have no idea how to pray, but..."

You are interrupted by another crash on the door, louder and stringer. But the barricade holds.

"...Unconquered Sun, please see us through this. It's all I ask." You conclude quickly, then lift up the altar and bring it to the door. "Move aside, Millian." You ask the startled maid, putting down the altar as part of the barricade, the candles still on top and burning brighter than before.

The room is definitely better illuminated right now, and feels warmer and safer. The ghost has also stopped trying to batter the door down.

"...We're safe?" She whispers.

"We're trapped." You reply, ignoring the pain and looking around. There are two other doors, leading to the back of the temple, and now that you have more light you can see that the entire altar room is a mess. There's been a fight or struggle of some kind here...

Mental + Twilight = 5 8 4 = 1 success

Taking advantage of candlelight, you and Millian begin to search around the room, not feeling safe enough to move to another part of the building.

And, now that you have once again silence... you can hear a weak, whispery noise coming from the floor...

"...Can you hear that?" you ask Millian.

"On it." She grabs and extra candle and begins searching. You follow her.

After a couple of minutes of searching, you find the source of the whispering: a bundle of heavy blankets thrown in a corner of the room.

As you undo them, you are caught completely by surprise by what lies underneath: Pyre Spark, pale and shivering.

"...Miss Pyre? What are you doing here?" You ask, trying to shake her. But as soon as you touch her shoulder, you pull our hand back: she's frighteningly cold, as cold as dead."

"...Pyre Spark? Can you hear us?"

"Is she..."

"No. She's breathing, and I feel a heartbeat, but she seems... She can't notice us?" You lean closer, trying to listen to her whispers.

"I don't know where it is... I don't know where it is... I don't know what you're talking about... She never told me anything... I don't know anything..."

"Is she in... a trance?" Millian wonders.

"Seems like that. Not a good kind of trance. Something got her. And... is asking questions."

"So this isn't just an incident." Millian gestures to the... well, your entire situation. "It's a planned attack."

"Damned Abyssals." You mutter.

You're out of your depth here. You have no idea what you should do with her.

You and Millian drag the frozen priestess closer to the altar and try to warm her up a bit. You briefly consider starting a fire of some kind, but quickly realize that it would turn the entire building in a smoking ruin. Bad idea.

"She seems to..." mumbles Millian, leaving the sentence hanging. You can see it for yourself, however: She regains a bit of color and warmth, and seems to sink in a deeper, more peaceful sleep. But no sign of waking up, quite the contrary.

"...What's going on with her?" The maid grumbles.

"...I don't know. I'm not sure." You reply. Your wound seems to have stopped bleeding, but it still hurts. And feels so cold...

You feel like closing your eyes...

You jump up, startled awake.

"...What?" Millian asks, scared by your sudden jolt.

"...Millian...? Did you... Did you hear that?"

"That what?" She seems more and more worried.

"The... the voice. That horrible voice?"

She slowly shakes your head. "...Are you alright?"

You're not alright. You feel cold.

You can hear him walking around the temple. Stalking it. Looking for a way to enter the altar room while materialized...

"I said I don't know!"

"Alright! Sorry. Didn't want to pressure you."

"...I wasn't talking with you, Millian."

"Who were you talking to, then?"

So cold. So sleepy...

You force yourself to stand up.

"...Are you alright?" She asks.

"I'm NOT alright! Whatever got Pyre is getting to me, too. I hear... voices. Questions. And I don't know the answers, but I don't know how much this ghost cares."

"...You mean he wasn't sent here to cause damage... but to-"

"To find the Titan." You reply, instinctively.

"Titan who?" She asks.

"I have no idea... And it's not a person. I think. It must be a place. It's asking me where is the entrance."

"...If something's large enough to be called a "Titan", don't you think we'd have seen it if it was on Tianna by now?"

"I have no idea!"

"No, I was talking to the ghost."

Enough of this. You rip the blankets off Pyre Spark and toss them on a pile of books and shattered wooden furniture. Then, you grab one of the two candelabra...

"Wha- what are you doing, Regis?"

"Trust me. I have a plan." You lie, tossing the lit candles on the bundle. It catches fire rather quickly, producing a thick smoke that makes your eyes and throat sting. But at least you feel alive again, even though your side and torso is so cold...

(cont.)

...so cold? You quickly inspect the sleeping Pyre Spark, and your suspicions are confirmed: she has a shallow but visible stabbing wound on her back. The skin around the wound is discolored, as if frostbitten.

"...Of course. It got me when he managed to wound me with his sword." You realize, while Millian tried to break down a window.

You feel the cold spreading, the pain dulling, and the questions in your head becoming more and more powerful. You need to do something NOW.

You know what you must do now, but you don't like it one bit.

You hold your cutlass' blade over the roaring fire as it starts spreading, attacking the wooden pavement, the furniture, licking the walls like hungry tongues.

You take a deep breath, undo your bandages, and, once the flat of the blade has turned to a dull red glow, press it against your frozen wound.

Your scream draws Millian's attention, and she finally notices what you're up to. "Wha- ARE YOU INSANE?"

The smell of burnt flesh fills the temple. It feels weird to think that it's your own. You're even amazed that you can so much as think right now.

The pain washes over you, and you feel as if it had dragged something dark and cold away with it. Your head feels suddenly clearer.

"...No. Not anymore." You reply, shoving the blade back in its scabbard (metallic, fortunately for you) and picking up the fainted Pyre Spark in your arms.

"And now what, genius?" Millian screams in a panic. "I can't get the window open! We're going to burn in here?"

Physical + Night = 1 7 8 4 4 = 2 successes

You briefly put the priestess down, grab the frozen-shut window blinds with both hands, and rip them out of the frame. The sunlight shining in Tianna's streets and alleyways greets you.

Millian falls silent, and you chuck the blinds into the fire behind you and pick Spark back up.

At least the alarm is out. Now, you have to wonder, will that ghost give up, or-

Nope. Forcing itself to a solid form, the ghastly shape of the horned warrior emerges from the fire blazing from the temple's window, screaming in anger.

Huh, I expected a Mental+Twilight Roll for cauterizing our wounds. That's why I voted against it.

Only if Millian get to be his Lunar mate.

>Let's run.
Back to the Palace to Find Irene or Samiel.

Run boy, run!

>Take Pyre and run, I'll hold him here.
There's no exalts around to help yet, and we're a TIGER WARRIOR. Let's do this.

Rolled 4

>>33314311
>Let's run.
We out of here

>>33314311
Time to book it like a motherfucker. Take side roads, but not alleyways. If that thing chases us into the main road there's going to be panic and collateral damage, but we still need a pretty direct route to palace.

Pyre was a better Tiger Warrior than us and look what condition she's in.

Rolled 3

>>33314412
Doesn't mean we aren't the only one who could possibly hold him back here.

>>33314412
Remember? Her wound was in the back. She was caught by surprise. We aren't.

>>33314388
You realize the kid is almost dead, right?

>>33314388
You say that as though it means absolutely anything. Tiger Warrior training isn't intended to let us fight shit like this; it's intended to help us SURVIVE the process of RUNNING THE FUCK AWAY FROM THINGS LIKE THIS.

If we stand and fight, we're fucked. It's a ghost, we have no charms, holy gear, or even a particularly good weapon. If we book it and find Maka, she has a charm that literally amounts to "fuck that ghost, no save, and also every other ghost in the general area."

Rolled 9

>>33314447
...and? He's still the only one who can stand up and try to protect people. And that's EXACTLY what his sole hero/role model would do.

Rolled 7

>>33314426
We are already heavily wounded, if we die here
no ones gonna save Milian and Pyre.
Fighting would be the glorious thing to do, but running is the right thing to do for others.

>>33314463
His sole role model is fucking superhuman and probably not to hot on the idea of her subordinates throwing their lives away grandstanding for no benefit

Rolled 9

>>33314311
>Let's run.

Rolled 2

>>33314447
and you realize he's a pirate right?

and all his training and experiences with Maka have told him that his job is to get people out and find those who CAN fight the big scary things instead of just being another mook to squish

>>33314463
Not really. I don't see Maka dying for a bunch of random nobodies who may or may not be in mortal danger.

She was just a human when she decided to stop a soulsteel dreadnaught with her bare hands.

You know, in the first thread?

This is exactly what she would do, powers or no.

Rolled 7

>>33314537
and we ain't her, we're her butler

Rolled 10

>>33314515
I'd wager on them being safe. The ghost appears to have been sent specifically after people who were involved with Maka. Running away and leading it with us (and hopefully into the waiting Charms of some Exalts) would be the safest thing to do for the bystanders, actually.

Rolled 6

>>33314560
She's still our sole role model and hero.

And we're still the only one that stands even a snowball's chance in hell of protecting people.

Rolled 2

>>33314537
This is why I am not a fan of PoV switches, because we don't know how to play the character and can't play the character properly, we know and play the MC, anything else and the voices in their head erode their 'wholeness'

Rolled 5

>>33314311
> lets stand and fight.
Honestly we aren't THAT badly hurt, and this thing will only hurt more of Makas friends if we don't stop it. Plus meido already hurt it so we know it can be killed.

Rolled 9

>>33314571
Except we don't stand a snowballs chance in hell against a ghost here.

>>33314537
And her willingness to do outrageous stunts like that is one of her defining character features. Her character features. He isn't Maka.

>Young Regis asks Sol Invictus for help to get through this ordeal
>Wounded but brave, stands his ground and fights an angry ghost with his trusty saber.
>Exalts as Dawn Caste

Rolled 9

>>33314622
Exactly.

Rolled 10

>>33314574
This has nothing to do with proper roleplaying and everything to do with dice. If we had been rolling hot all thread every anon here would feel it was Regis duty to protect meidos and follow in Makas footsteps

>>33314311

I think this was my vote >>33314339, but I'm not sure.
I'm changing it to
>Take Pyre and run, I'll hold him here.
Have them get to the palace and alert Samiel or Irene
>>33314622
What you Ecalt as has more to do with you personality and what Exaltations are available than the deed you performed to exalt.
Regis would probably be a Night Caste.

Rolled 9

>>33314665
It wasn't your vote

>>33314656
If he had full health, sure. He is close to death now.

Rolled 4

>>33314665
This was my roll.

I change it to
>roll over and die

Rolled 1

>>33314681
Well then I don't know which one it was.
The important part any way is I originally voted for
>Let's run.
and am changing it too
>Take Pyre and run, I'll hold him here.

Rolled 1

>>33314311
>Let's run.

I honestly don't want him to exalt as Dawn Caste,not for this, Heroic Mortals can be just as cool and interesting, not everyone needs glowiness.
