>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.

You're just so tired. You need to sleep. So, you close your eyes and let the darkness take you.

When the next site you see is your predecessors standing side by side and watching you with sad expressions, you know that you have died.

Well, at least you remember your name.

"You're not dead," your predecessor says.

"Getting some sleep was a smart move," Gonyo tells you.

"Yeah, not sure why you think you're dead," your predecessor comments. "What kind of idiot told you sleeping with a concussion was a bad thing?"

"Look, the point I, you came close to getting killed," Avatar Wan tells you. "Try not to monologue so much during fights."

"Your father still needs to be stopped," Gonyo reminds you. "Are you ready to wake up and face him?"

>A. Yes (Wake up)

You're ready to face your father, and so you wake up.

You are still in the pit, and notice a few things immediately. First of all, the pit isn't nearly as deep as you thought. You can see the top of it just fine. Second, your head feels much better, and you seem to have far more energy.

It would be a simple matter to Earthbend out of the pit, but if your father is still at the top, he could attack you before you get your bearings.

As you consider this, some rage-filled yells grab your attention. The voices sound familiar, and you suddenly feel confident that your father already has his hands full.

Stomping on the ground and thrusting your fists skyward, you raise yourself out of the pit on a pillar of sand. As you reach the top, you see the source of the commotion.

Your father is under attack, moving quickly backwards as his foes pursue him. Felna unleashes a powerful blast of flame from her right fist that your father rolls to avoid, ending up in a crouch and stomping the ground, thrusting his fists downward and dropping Felna into a pit.

He quickly thrusts his fists upwards and begins to raise himself on a pillar of sand.

As Bulo raises Felna from the pit, Sonyo stomps on the ground and thrusts his fists towards the pillar, breaking it at the base and causing your father to fall. Your mother throws a sandblast at him as he falls, throwing him back several feet and causing him to crash on the ground.

He gets to his feet as Galda and Lee move swiftly towards him. He hurls some sand blasts their way, but the siblings easily dodge his attacks. Galda reaches him first, and lets out a hateful yell as the slashes at his throat. Your father shifts, causing Galda to miss her target.

Unfortunately for him, she still cuts deeply into his left cheek and across the side of his face.

As your father screams in pain, Lee delivers a flurry of swift strikes that leave your father sprawling on his back. He slams his elbow into the ground next to him, creating an angular wall of sand over himself, guarding him from any attacks from the front of below.

Galda and Lee begin to move around, when Felna rushes in their direction.

"Get out of my way!" she commands her siblings, who quickly do so.

Felna lets out a hateful yell to match her sister's as she thrusts her fists forward, unleashing the largest, most powerful torrent of flame you have ever seen her bend. Your father's little wall is wiped out in an instant, and had your father still been there, his death would have been certain.

However, when Felna halts her attack, yo-

>>34703152
>>34702763
>>34702751
>>34702746
>>34702711
-u see only a pit where your father once was.

Felna lets out a frustrated scream, and Galda rushes to the edge of the pit, preparing to pursue your father into it.

With their backs all turned to you and focused on the battle with your father, none of them know you are there.

"Galda, stop!" you yell as you leap from the sand pillar and out of the pit.

Her body stiffens, and her head slowly turns for her to look at you. The others quickly turn to face you as well, all of them quickly running to you. Felna throws her arms around you and hugs you tightly, crying tears of joy.

"I thought you were dead," she informs you before stepping back and wiping the tears away. "I'm so glad you aren't."

Galda surprises you by hugging you tightly the second she reaches you, smiling as she pulls back.

"I should have known from experience that you wouldn't die so easily," she comments.

"We can talk once my father has been dealt with," you tell the girls.

"Good thinking," your mother tells you. "This time, I'm going to make sure this NEVER happens again. Leave this to me."

"Mom, it's probably a trap," Bulo tells her as she approaches the pit.

"Of course it is," she agrees. "But, it is a trap set for Lee and Galda, the two who were closest to him when he made the pit. He's cornered down there, and won't stand a chance against me."

"There's nothing for us down there, wait for the Queen's army to deal with it, he's committed treason on multiple levels, we do not need to deal with the problem."

>>34704231
We're in charge of the settlement now that the previous governor has gone insane. We do need to deal with it. Even ignoring the fact that the Queens army is pretty far away, and he will have escaped long before they arrive, and then the Queen will be like wtf why did you just leave one person alone for days while my army travelled over there, you're not in charge anymore. And even that is assuming he doesn't come back to kill us in our sleep.

tl;dr: ur dumb

>>34704104
>>34704069
"I'm going with you," you tell her.

"Absolutely not!" she snaps. "He's already nearly killed you once today, I am not letting you be put in harm's way again."

"You said yourself that there's nothing for an Earthbender to worry about," Lee points out. "Besides, two on one will give you a much better chance just in case he is prepared."

"I still don't think the two of you should go down there," Bulo tells you. "I have a really bad feeling about this."

>>34704635
"He's got a point," you tell your mother. "Let's just bury him and keep smashing the ground until he's just a splatter."

"Ruthless and efficient," Lee states. "An interesting suggestion from you, Shin."

"That carries risks of its own," your mother cautions. "We might not be able to tell if we hit him."

"Then why not just open pits everywhere until we find him?" Sonyo asks.

"That gives him too much chance to fight back," your mother tells him.

"We've already proven that we can take him easily if we can force him into head-on confrontation," Galda reminds her.

You mentally scared Shin so bad with this father betrayal shit that you turned him into a complete pessimist, I hope you're happy Somnius.

>>34705099
>>34704959
>>34704917
"I'm tired of being patient with madmen," you tell the others, not really giving much thought to how insistent you are in murdering your own father.

"Good call," Bulo tells you. "Let's end this now."

You begin the attack, stomping forward and thrusting your hands upward, raising two massive pillars of sand near the pit before slamming them back down to the ground. Your mother and brothers begin imitating you, and soon you have done this to a wide perimeter around the pit.

"If he didn't escape, he's dead by now," Galda tells you, sounding a bit sad. "You should probably look for a body."

>A. Ask her what's wrong

I'd lost my own father near when this quest started. Shin's arguments with his father were heart-wrenching.

Full on shock time?

So we can all agree that Shin's alignment has shifted after this debacle from Neutral Good to True Neutral?

>>34705431
>>34705422
>>34705393
>>34705340
"I won't stop until there's no body left," you tell her. "Then, we can start rebuilding."

You and your family continue to smash the ground, wanting to leave no chance for your father to escape or even survive.

"Are you even listening to yourself?" Galda asks you. "Shin, you've never been this cold, merciless, or brutal. This isn't you."

>A. Your own father tried to kill you, that tends to change a person

>B. It is now

>C. Ignore her, keep doing what you're doing

Dude. Monologues a shit. Seriously.

Let's not do this now.

>>34705708
We could mention how she decided to fight us again after we respectfully let her live.

>>34705642
This pls

>>34705708
You have to admit that would completely rekt her

>>34705642
Please no...let's save the monologues until we're actually having a debate.

Monologues are obnoxious things and have made us seem like idiots before. It's doing the same thing now.

NO, monologues, I demand a stawpoll or a real vote to prevent samfag over the monologue option.

>>34705642

>>34705866

>>34705875
does go with it mean continue pounding Father to dirt or say the monologue? because voted go with it thinking it means continue pounding our father to shit.

>>34705866
If we don't explain our actions wouldn't that risk alienating our friend? In fact, why don't we do a combination of C and D and justify our actions while we do them.

>>34705875
you need to be more clear with what we are voting for somnius for >>34705924
this reason

>>34705924
You deserve to have your vote counted as the opposite of what you meant if your reading comprehension is this shit.

"Go with it" is voting for monologuing like a bitch.

>>34705949
How about we just stop.

You stop smashing the ground, and, a few seconds later, your family does the same. Galda sighs and repeats her advice from moments ago.

"You should look for a body," she says before turning and walking towards her family's home.

Bulo and your mother begin opening pits around the one your father created, and it doesn't take long for a body to be found. Broken and lifeless, he is already lying in a hole. Perhaps you should just bury him again and make it his grave.

"Well, we got him," Bulo says, sounding a bit relieved, but also sad.

"Good; the last thing we needed was him coming back once our guard was down," your mother says, perhaps a bit callously.

"Should we just rebury him?" Bulo asks.

"I say feed him to your pet turtle," your mother answers.

Lee looks at you. "If you want to give him a proper burial, there's plenty of room outside the settlement."

"He tried to kill you," Felna reminds you. "It's your call."

Well since everything seems to be going back to the status quo were no situation (even his father's death and betrayal) has any bearing on Shin's personality I can see we didn't learn anything over our short death and hiatus.

"We're going to give him a proper burial," you announce.

"Why?" your mother asks. "After everything he did, does he really deserve it?"

"The father I knew should be honored," you tell her. "The man that tried to kill me shall be forgotten."

Your mother sighs, but nods. "Very well, do as you wish."

You remove your father's corpse from the pit and carry it from the settlement. Your brothers, Lee, and Felna follow you as you find a spot and make a hole, placing your father's body inside of it. You retrieve something to mark the grave with before covering his body, standing over your father's grave.

Oh father, I have no idea why your warm embrace suddenly turned into that of a power corrupt hungry maniac who had no regard for his children, family or anything else.

I also do not know how your wife and generally all your family is so apathetic to see you go, I guess you acted like a real fucking cunt while I was away for that one whole week.

Sure we can. We did it fairly well for the first part of this thread...then monofag came in.

>>34707287
We both know it's not going to have any lasting effect on our personality like it should, it's just going to be swept under the rug and forgotten. I doubt we will even get a character development arc were we go on a journey of self discovery.

>>34707354
Though we're the Avatar, we are an Earthbender. The Earth is patient, quiet, and stubborn--and in this, there is no need to speak. Remain silent, but reverent.

Example A) of bad monologuing. Example B) Was revealing we were the Avatar to the crowd.

It was obnoxious, which is what a monologue is. Unless you're in the middle of a debate or an oration, you should always have small statements that leave others a chance to respond."

>>34707762
>You really can't do surppressed emotions very well, can you?
There's no implications that it's suppressed at all.

>>34707750
That was more one guy making baseless assumptions, and everyone else bandwagoning because he looked like he knew what he was talking about. If people had slowed down and thought, "Hey, do we really know that all the stuff this guy is saying here is true?" rather than screaming THIS, that wouldn't have happened.

>>34707799
>what is sad and angry and hurt and lonely

We just killed our dad after he tried to kill us. That we aren't scorching the landscape in white fire is proof enough of suppressed emotions.

>>34707827
I didn't mean us, I meant everyone else.

>>34707820
It's what I see happening for every one of these monologues. Seriously...I put up a few large posts during the debates that go well, and everyone assumed a monologue is perfect.

I've been doing one line posts this entire thread, and they were taken at the start, but now we can't seem to shut the fuck up for a few minutes.

Even now, we have the option, right there, to shut up and brood over our father's grave after we kill him...and what happens? Monologue. Keep talking. Fucking shit character, man.

>>34707875
I think the monologues are retarded too. I just got in this argument because >>34707526
left the impression that he believed we would die or something if we monologued again, and I try to never miss an opportunity to call someone a retard.

You stand over the grave of your father, and find a familiar song coming to your head. You remember singing it with Galda and Felna after they lost their own father. It only seems appropriate that you sing it about yours.

"Leaves from the vine...." you begin.

"Falling so slow..." Bulo adds.

"Like fragile, tiny shells...." Sonyo chimes in.

"Drifting in the foam...." Lee sings.

"Little soldier boy...." Felna adds her voice

"Come marching home..." Galda sings solemnly as she approaches behind you.

"Brave soldier boy," you sing as one, "comes marching home...."

A single tear falls down your cheek, leaving your face and soaking into the sand beneath which your father sleeps forever more.

Galda puts a hand on your shoulder, her expression one of sympathy and understanding of your pain.

Leaving the others, and the grave of your father behind, you slowly walk over to the lake. Standing on the shore and looking out at the water, you try to clear your head, but find it exceedingly difficult.

Pleasant memories of your father dance through your mind, stretching as far back as you can remember. You remember he and your mother teaching you to read, to Earthbend, playing with you in the city, taking you for walks through the forest and telling you all about the animals. You remember them telling you stories about your adventures, and your father always telling you how proud you made him, and how he knew you were going to do great things.Thinking of all the good times makes it hurt so much worse when you consider how things ended between the two of you.

You need to find a way to come to terms with your emotions, or at the very least identify them. You stand where you are, trying to figure out, until you finally figure out how you're feeling.

>A. You feel drained; you've been hurt and betrayed by so many people you cared about

>B. You feel resolve to become a better person than you are, to make the father you knew proud and stick it to the man he became

>C. You feel simple bitterness. How could your own father do that to you?

You feel, hurt, bitter, and angry at your Father and the choices he made, but at the end of the day who he chose to be doesn't change who you are. You feel resolve to become a better person than you are, to make the father you knew proud and stick it to the man he became

You understand what you're feeling; bitterness. The betrayal stings. How could your own father do that to you? The more you think about it, the more you realize it wasn't just him. You've been hurt and betrayed a lot lately. Ren, a man you considered a friend, betrayed you, tried to use you as a pawn, and ultimately tried to kill you. The Queen, despite all you did for her, kicked you out of her palace. Felna threw you under the bus to avoid being caught in a lie.

This constant betrayal and hurt just leaves you feeling drained.

Wanting to take your mind off of things, you decide to practice your waterbending.

Holding your hands out towards the lake, you slowly raise them, water following your motions and lifting into the air before abruptly falling back into the lake.

Irritated, you give it another try, with similar results. You try again, and the same happens. That just figures; nothing can ever go right, can it?

I vote that we meditate. Get in touch with ourselves, the spirits, and our past lives. Perhaps there's some wisdom and comfort from such introspection.

The previous avatars helped us get out of this, maybe they can help us figure out how to deal with it.

We mustn't tackle Waterbending with stubborness, we must learn how to flow, and when we learn how to make the water flow with earthbendng, we can try waterbebding.

>>34709698
>C. Try Waterbending again, resolve not to stop until you can waterbend

You resolve not to stop until you've managed to successfully waterbend.

Unfortunately, it seems your resolve just isn't enough.

You spend hours upon hours attempting to waterbend, but, rather than slowly getting better and managing to do it, you seem to be getting worse. It eventually reaches the point where you can't even make any water raise into the air. Your frustration and bitterness grows, until finally, there is a change.

A section of the lake freezes solid.

Beyond the surprise of what you just did, you also feel a bit uneasy. You get the feeling someone is watching you, but your friends and siblings returned to the settlement long ago.

You get the feeling that it would be in your best interest to return to the settlement. Unable to shake the feeling that someone is watching you, you keep ready to fight as you begin walking away from the lake and towards the safety of the settlement.

As you walk, you think you see movement out of the corner of your eye. Turning to look that way, you see something leap out of the trees and move into the forest. If you go after it now, you could probably catch it.

You want to know what's going on, so, you decide the best way to find out is to follow the mysterious figure into the woods.

You don't get far before something lands on your back, knocking you forward onto the ground. You feel the weight get off of your back, and look up to see a woman standing over you.

She looks perhaps a year or two younger than the Queen. Her brown hair stops about an inch above her shoulders, and her brown eyes focus on you as she gives you a predatory grin.
