>Welcome to Avatar Quest. Here are the rules.

Decisions are made by vote. Each vote has a ten minute interval, after which, the option that receives the most votes it the one that is chosen.

There are no write-ins unless explicitly stated

Some options require rolls. In that event, rolls will be out of 100. Whether rolls succeed or fail is decided by the first three rolls. If one passes, then you succeed regardless of the other two. Rolls will really only occur during training, or when trying something new.
All decisions are final. If you regret voting for something, too bad. Think carefully before you make decisions.

Try to keep waifu bullshit to a minimum.

>A poll out of curiosity

You stomp on the ground in front of you, and focus on the spot where the Firebender is standing. Thrusting your hands downward, you open a pit beneath him. Caught completely off guard, he falls into the pit with a loud cry.

"Watch, this is my ancient technique of throw rock!" you shout.

"Ancient technique?" a familiar voice asks. "You came up with most of your tricks a few weeks ago."

Your rescuer finally gets close enough for you to see her.

Felna puts her hands on her hips and looks at you with a mixture of amusement and concern. "So, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"

"Well, first of all we've got the people wanting to start the civil war, possible external kingdom spies wanting to weaken the kingdom."
"Then we've got the these guys, who say they're agents of the queen because I said a bunch of baloney at the rally to win crowd support."
"And now I'm going to go and see the Queen and iron it all out, hopefully without dying."

"Trouble?" you ask, "What trouble? I was just taking a leisurely stroll through the city."

Felna snorts. "Right, nothing like being throne off a roof to help you relax."

She walks over to you and looks you in the eye, her expression serious. "What's going on?"

"The usual," you say. "People want to kill me. Not my fault...again."

"Why do they want to kill you?" she asks. "What's the situation? Beyond people wanting to kill you, because, let's face it, that's pretty typical for you."

"Well, first of all we've got people who want to start a civil war," you inform her. "Possibly external kingdom spies wanting to weaken our kingdom. Then we've got these guys, who say they're agents of the Queen. They want to kill me for supposed treason because I said a bunch of baloney at the rally to win crowd support. Now I'm going to see the Queen to iron it all out. Hopefully without dying."

"Shin, if she sent people to kill you, is going to the palace such a good idea?" she questions, pointing behind you.

Turning around, you see the Airbender leaping across the rooftops towards the palace.

"I think she'll be expecting you, Shin," Felna warns. "I don't think you should go. But, if you're set on this, and you need my help, I'll do my best to make sure you make it inside."

"I shouldn't," you admit. "But either this gets dealt with tonight, or war breaks out. And I can't let that happen."

"I understand," she says after a few seconds of silence. "I can't let that happen when I can do something to stop it, either. I'll make sure you live long enough to see this through, if you'll accept my help...again."

You throw your arms around Felna and give her a hug.

"Thank you," you say. "I could use the help."

She smiles as she hugs you back. "Well then, looks like I'll be in charge of keeping you alive, like usual."

"I don't suppose you brought everyone else along with you?" you ask as you step back.

She shakes her head. "It was just me, Galda, and my dad that came here. I don't think either of them will be much help; my dad won't be eager to go near the palace, and if we bring Galda, we'll just be getting a blood bath, not the best conditions for negotiating."

"Have you and him pretend to capture me and bring me before the Queen"

Deciding not to waste any more time, the two of you begin to make your way towards the palace, leaving your wounded and trapped foes behind.

"Not that I'm complaining, but why are you guys here?" you ask Felna as the two of you travel.

"Our parents figured we could use more people to help with the settlement, and my father volunteered to come here and recruit them," she explains. "Galda was asked to come, and I volunteered to go as well."

The two of you move quickly, and soon the gates are in sight.

"Once we get into the palace, find Galda and your father," you instruct. "Get out of the city. If things don't go well, a head start would be very useful."

"Are you nuts? I'm not abandoning you in there," she replies.

You see a pair of guards standing at the gate, their eyes focused on you and Felna as the two of you approach.

Wanting to handle things peacefully, and not start trouble where it might not already be, you calmly approach the gate and ask to be let in, rather than attacking the guards.

"Of course, Shin." one of the guards tells you. "You are free to come and go as you wish, but who is this with you? All visitors must have permission from the Queen to visit."

>B. Just say she's a friend of yours

>>33919706
>D. "This is Felna, Galda's sister. I believe she is already inside with my father?"

Let's avoid saying her name, please.

Ten minutes later, Felna is a hostage and whatever we do we can't save her.

"She's my girlfriend," you tell the guards.

The two exchange glances.

"Okay...." the one says. "Well, I'll go speak with the Queen and see if she's allowed to enter."

He walks away, while the other guard remains at his post. Next to you, Felna clears her throat.

"Yes," you tell her.

"Good, just so we're clear," she says before smiling sweetly at you, planting a kiss on your cheek, and strolling calmly towards the gate.

You turn and follow, and the two of you wait quietly there until the guard returns, Queen Alara accompanying him.

"Welcome back, Shin," she says, stepping beyond the gate and walking up to you and Felna. "And who is this lovely young woman you have brought with you?"

"My name is Kurna," Felna replies, giving the Queen a polite smile and a bow. "It's an honor to meet you, your majesty."

The Queen smiles. "The pleasure is mine. I apologize for the delay; Shin did not inform me that he would be bringing a guest. Still, you are welcome here, Kurna."

The guard stand aside, and the Queen escorts the two of you inside the palace.

"Shin and I have some things to discuss," Alara informs Kurna as the three of you make your way to the stairs. "But first, I need to know if I should prepare a room for you, or if you will be sharing one with Shin."

"Irrelevant," you tell her. "We have better things to be talking about right now."

Glancing at Felna, you see a look of relief on her face as she walks with you and the Queen to the second floor. The Queen leads the two of you up the next flight of stairs and onto the third floor.

"I take it that means you've been to the rally," the Queen guesses as she leads you into the throne room, gesturing for both you and Felna to take a seat at the table.

"Either your guards are overly zealous or someone's playing us. You didn't have anyone else at the rally, did you? Because if you didn't you've got an information leak."

Wait a second. The benders who attacked us called us Avatar shin, right?

But does anyone aside from the Queen and his aid know this?

>>33921616
Kana and Narlonok do. And I imagine rumors have spread since our defeat of Ming. Or there could just be a spy in the palace who overheard.

>>33921616
maybe the airbender's a villian. It'd be confirmed if he claims guruship and starts calling himself Laghima

>>33921656
Or Galda's father, who randomly appeared for no reason, would have told someone.
Since everyone back there knew, didn't they?

>>33921692
Yeah, it is a bit weird that they showed up in town just as this happened. Though the stated explanation could be sincere. The new wave of settlers that came with our father are likely all the Queen's people, Ren might have wanted to recruit some of his own supporters. And it could have gotten out from him even if he's not behind the attack. Like, say, he was using the "fact" that he had the Avatar's support as a recruitment tool.

>>33921447
Fucking KNEW it was Ren.

>Masked man knew who we were
>Ren, Galda & Felna just happens to be in town

You tell her everything that happened tonight at the rally, and the events following it, including Felna's rescue, though you do, of course, refer to her as Kurna in the story.

"If you don't change your policies, you'll be forced to execute your own people to slow the rebellion," you conclude. "And that may only make it happen faster."

The Queen is trembling when you finish your story. Not in rage, not entirely even in fear, but in what looks to be grief or disappointment, or both.

"I...I can't believe this," she says softly. "I knew some people were upset about my policies, but this.... and you say a group of benders tried to kill you after the rally?"

"Yes," you confirm. "Considering how polite you're being, and the fact that you're not immediately trying to execute me, I imagine that you're not behind the attack. But, I also imagine it's riled up anyone who saw it. You need to act now."

"But, you said they called you the Avatar," Felna points out.

"Right, and who in this city outside the palace knows who you are, other than....Kurna, here," the Queen says with some suspicion.

"What are you implying?" Felna asks.

"Just that the timing of your rescue was a bit convenient," the Queen answers.

"I had nothing to do with the attack on Shin!" Felna insists.

"Look, the point is, either your guards are overly zealous, or someone is playing us," you interrupt "You didn't have anyone else at the rally, did you? Because if you didn't, then you have an information leak."

"I didn't have anyone else at the rally, and nobody who knew about it left the palace today," she assures you. "Did you tell Kurna about the rally before you went to it?"

>>C. Kurna had nothing to do with the attack

>>33921985
"No. The only people who knew were you, me, Lathic, and your guards."

>>33921985
>D. "It could just as easily be Lathic. However polite he may be, he considers you a pupil, and he might have sent those men there himself since everyone knows he acts with your will. Additionally, there was an airbender on the scene who swiftly fled. I have little doubt he could have beat us back here."

A pause to let that sink in, or for her to deny it vehemently.

"Let's put aside figuring out who it is. The fact remains someone attacked me, and I was nearly killed in the attempt. Your policies must be changed, and then these rebels will have their entire foundation pulled out from under them."

>>33922114

"I did not. I have trouble believing she was involved with it, though. If she hadn't come with me to support my story, then maybe I'd be worried she was trying to manipulate me. But there's no point in rescuing me from "your" benders just to help me clear up the confusion. The smart thing to do would have been to convince me that coming back here was too dangerous. And she's pretty consistently shown herself to be smarter than I am. So I don't think she'd make that mistake if she were part of this."

She's not stupid enough to do something this convoluted. We're the one who makes terrible decisions, not her.

>>33922372
Let's divert attention away from that then. Forget the part about lathic, just point out there's no way to know it yet, as there's too few facts.

"No, the only people who knew were you, me, Lathic, and your guards," you tell her. "The fact that Kurna is here is highly coincidental. And I know that's why you're suspicious of her, but I have trouble believing she was involved with it. If she hadn't come with me to support my story, then maybe I'd be worried she was trying to manipulate me. But, there's no point in rescuing me from "your" benders just to help me clear up the confusion. The smart thing to do would have been to convince me that coming back here was too dangerous. And, she's pretty consistently shown herself to be smarter than I am. So, I don't think she'd make that mistake if she were part of this."

Felna smiles at the compliment, while the Queen nods. "You're right. I'm sorry for what I said to you, Kurna."

"It's alright, your majesty," Felna tells her. "I can hardly blame you for not wanting to believe that your own people are involved."

The Queen sighs. "But, it's beginning to look more and more like one of them is. The question is; who?"

"Well, it could just as easily be Lathic as Kurna," you comment. "However polite he may be, he considers you a pupil, and he might have sent those men there himself since everyone knows he acts with your will. Additionally, there was an Airbender on the scene who swiftly fled. I have little doubt he could have beat us back here."

The Queen looks at you in outrage. "Lathic is a dear friend and my most trusted advisor. To even suggest that he would do something like this is ridiculous, not to mention insulting to an honorable man."

Even as she says this, however, you can tell that her mind is carefully considering the possibility of what she just said.

>A. Ask to speak with Lathic

>B. Ask if she has any ideas

"Regardless of who it is, execution will help little as it is"
"You need to destroy those laws post-haste, if you really wish to set up laws which help benders then we can iron some out, however in it's current form we are are achieving huge unrest."
"I suggest you put this in place today, within the hour if possible. Spare no expense in doing this"

>>33922567
This. Learn to politics people.

>>33922505
>D. "Which is why we need to keep an eye on him, while those other two guards are found. If he proves innocent, we apologize, and he will understand. He's a wise man, and if we are honest once this mess is done, he will forgive us. For now, the guards that escorted me here."

>>33922505
>D. Dialogue writein
"My apologies. You are right, I do not know the man as well as you do. The same courtesy of trust you extended to Kurna I should to Lathic. I am just...scared, I suppose. People keep trying to kill me. This Avatar mess is more trouble than it's worth. Though if Avatar Gonyo would appear to me as a spirit guide like the third Avatar did, it would greatly ease my fears."

>>33922644
Even if we slice off his head and it is him, the problems remains that the unrest is still there.

Remove the unrest and there IS no issue.

>>33922567
Agreed. Let's remove the root of the problem and assuage the public. Once that is done, then we can deal with the traitor.

We need to isolate Lathic or the Guards first, however. One of them is the traitor, and once the laws are done I don't want them running off.

>>33922699
Just because those are the most comfortable options doesn't mean they're the only ones.

You're waifu a shit

>>33922567
Definitely this.

First thing is first, gotta fix those laws.

"Can you think of any fall out from the bender faction from changing these suddenly? Anyone who has benefited greatly from these laws?"

>>33922505
>D. Dialogue writein
"I merely am suggesting that he might be concerned for your welfare. I am an outsider, and I have spent considerable time in the presence of your brother. And Lathic knows better than anyone else alive how dangerous an Avatar can be. I would be worried, too, if I was in his position. Would he send assassins after me? Likely not. Would he send observers ready to act if I turned out to be hostile to you? That I can believe."

>>33922763
if it is the Queen, she's really dumb. It would have been a lot smarter to not have had this conversation

>>33922810
Agreed.

And if Ren is behind it (which I'm not doubting) we'll simply kill Felna, kill Ren, kill Galda, and have the Queen's elite guard at our back.

>>33922860
>Killing anyone
Stupid move, especially if they're royalty.
Best idea would be to execute a proxy, blame it on him and work out what the problem was between Ren and the Queen.
If a problem persists, then an accident is in order. Executions or blatant killings won't help us

However, in its current form we are achieving huge unrest. I suggest you put this in place today, within the hour if possible. Spare no expense in doing this."

"You're right," she says, still trembling, and looking to be struggling to hold back tears. "I've failed to do what I hoped with those laws; all I've managed to do is cause unrest and distrust. I'll write out an order for the laws to be repealed, and make a statement to the city tomorrow."

The Queen leaves to get what she will need to write out her orders, leaving you and Felna alone.

"I have to be honest, this is not what I was expecting," Felna admits.

"What do you mean?" you ask her.

"The Queen," she answers. "From the way my father always talked about her, I expected her to be some sort of raving lunatic, foaming at the mouth about killing nonbenders. But she seems...nice, and actually concerned with the people as a whole, not just benders."

"I was surprised too," you admit. "Apparently her bad reputation was earned more from paranoia than evil. I get the sense the falling out with her brother affected her more than she lets on."

Felna tenses, then sighs and nods. "Well, if the way it affected him is any indication, I shouldn't be surprised."

>>A. Ask what she means by that

so Ren's basically throwing a tantrum now?

>>33923276
>>A. Ask what she means by that
>>C
Several at the rally knew him and what happened to Galdia, While I'm not sure if him talking to his sister right now would be for the best, his statement in her favor may help quell others fear of her. Or Galdia will try to slit my throat again for even suggesting it. Whichever comes first

>>33923276
>C. "They came to blows, she said. She's been afraid and betrayed and all other things towards him ever since. So when a little girl evades all her security and walks up to her, carrying a weapon and claiming to be his daughter...she thought Ren has sent his daughter to kill her."

"Or she's an amazing actress and has me fooled."

>>33923375
I think what she means is that Ren's probably been sad, paranoid, and bitter ever since the incident

"What do you mean?" you ask. "I've only got a third party's side of all of this so far."

"Well, dad had always been critical of my Aunt, always talking about how foolish her laws were, how they were pointless and would only cause resentment," she explains. "But after what happened to Galda, his opinion of her got even lower. He constantly called her a monster and a tyrant, and talked about how her laws were nothing but pure oppression and would lead the kingdom to ruin."

She leans in close. "He even started talking about that group you mentioned. I think he might have even gone to some of their rallies. He always talked about how they had the right idea, and how someone had to take down the Queen."

>>33923817
"How did you feel about that growing up?" you ask.

"Well, I never knew my aunt, so I could really only go on what other people told me," she responds. "Mostly my dad spoke about her, and what he said was never flattering. And, after what she did to Galda, I hated her, and was terrified of her. My dad didn't make it any better by telling me that if I didn't keep my bending secret, she would take me away from my family."

"What did your father think of benders in general?" you ask.

"Well, actually, his opinions of them were a bit like Galda's, though less extreme," she tells you. "He basically thought that bending was useless in most cases, and after what happened to Galda, he gained the opinion that they were all monsters who would gladly go along with the Queen for their own benefit, regardless of what it would mean for nonbenders. There were exceptions; after all, he knew I could bend. And, since we've met you, he's said almost entirely positive things about you."

"Their leader knew me by name, and the guards knew I was the Avatar. Felna, if there's any chance he was there I need to know. People WILL die if things don't change, and the kinda of change those people wanted will only lead more to their deaths. I'd rather see all of you on my side but I have to know"

So is anyone else expecting that when Shin goes to sleep tonight Gonyo will visit him? He's already kind of disapproving of us, I'm sure accusing his son would get him riled up further. If he does show up, I suggest claiming that we did it that way on purpose to draw him out.

"Do you think your father was at the rally tonight?" you ask.

"I doubt it," she answers. "He was going to the residential district to recruit people to help at the settlement."

"Their leader knew me by name," you remind her. "And the "guards" knew I was the Avatar. Felna, if there's any chance that he was there, I need to know. People WILL die if things don't change, and the kind of change those people want will only lead to their deaths. I'd rather see all of you on my side, but I have to know."

"I told you, my father said he was recruiting people for the settlement," she says in irritation. "So, Galda and I went for a walk. She thought it would be fun if we played a game of tag in the streets like we used to, and took off. I followed her and wound up on the street where you were being attacked."

true, but not all of them heard our name or saw our face. whoever wanted us to not reach the Queen after the rally knew who Shin was and what he looked like

>>33924495
I just want Shin to have thoroughly annoyed every Avatar as payback for making his life so complicated. This is my interpretation of why he kept asking obvious questions of the third Avatar despite the fact that he should know the answers. He was playing dumb so as to aggravate the guy.

"What did your dad say about him?" you ask.

"That he's the kind of leader the people need," she answers. "And that he can rally them to bring down the Queen."

You get the feeling that she's tired of this line of questioning, and so you change the subject. "Where are you guys staying tonight? It may be a good idea to let them know you're alright before word gets out that you're around the palace and people assume the worst. I'd offer to take you home, but after you helped me in the streets, it may not be safe."

She smirks, leaning back. "Afraid that I can't defend myself? I seem to recall taking out three benders by myself, Shin."

She yawns. "But, you're probably right. I should contact them. I'll send a letter explaining things and ask the Queen to provide me a room for tonight."

Her cheeks color a bit. "Not if I killed you first."

She rises to her feet. "I'm going to go have a message sent to them, then ask about a room. Sleep well, Shin."
