We had two (one with two versions) last thread, and then another three sketches for the various dresses.

I think you're being VERY skimpy there.

>Who are we?
Maka, an exiled noble Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. She was 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 and friends, have a powerful Manse under construction, and are unifying Tianna in a great nation under your overwhelming charisma.
You just discovered the reason everyone seems to be so interested in Tianna: an enormous magical fortress lies buried underground, a relic of the First Age with enough firepower to destroy anything...

>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=Solar%20Quest

>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.

That design enthralled me. Unf.

>>36560647
Thats the problem we could pray to half a dozen gods here.
The Ocean Father, the Western god of travel, the storm mothers, maybe even Siaka.

We ain't gonna pray to the storm-bears, largely because they are assholes and we made a pact with the water court in the region and they would not appreciate that.

>>36560698
Thats actually a good reason to try to appease them, there is a whole bunch of attractive women on these ships, and they aren't gonna like that.
But we are Solars, so prayer from us is worth a whole bunch. And we might as wellt start now getting on their good side.

Only other real option would be the OCean afther or Rudhira, but no one here is a redhead.

Rolled 9 (1d10)

>>36560701
Eh I don't think she'd be a god we'd need to pray to then. I mean we're gonna be on a boat. If we were trying to rescue people from a shipwreck or whatever that'd be relevant but we're just hauling ass.

You haven't seen her sharks if you think that protects you.

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>36560713
Solar or not we're still a crazy hot woman with a team of crazy hot women. If the storm mothers notice us they're gonna go apeshit.

>>36560721
Eh, they can do business. In reality they aren't actually all that obsessive about it.
As long as we bribe them properly, they will work with us.

Rolled 5 (1d10)

>>36560732
Not sure a bribe would be worth it right now though, unless some of that phat Yu Shan corruption goes down and they want a slice of the action to avoid some "tragic accidents".

I mean we can just chill below decks as we haul ass back right?

>>36560713
Ocean Father is pretty much the only one we could really pray to if Maka knows anything about Western gods.
Storm Mothers hate our ass, Rudhira hates our ass, Siakal would demand a whole bunch of human sacrifice.
And the Stormbears are just plain dicks.

>>36560739
>unless some of that phat Yu Shan corruption goes down and they want a slice of the action to avoid some "tragic accidents"
Thats pretty much how it works. Although a prayer from a Zenith is pretty much all bribery we would need. That shit is worth a lot.

Rolled 4 (1d10)

>>36560748
Might not be enough this time though, I mean we have an urgent need to haul ass and that gives them leverage to basically name their price.

We might have to part with a not insignificant portion of our loot if they realize that they've got us by the tits.

>>36560770
If they figure it like that then not praying to them would be even worse.
But gods aren't omniscient in Creation like that, chances are they don't know what exactly we are doing here.

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>36560741
Time to make a call to daddy, then.

>>36560782
the best possible course of action for us right now, given consequences, is to just ignore the Storm Mothers and hope they don't notice us.

Rolled 3 (1d10)

When you're right you're right. I'm starting to really appreciate why Amata doesn't like dealing with the gods and their bullshit.

You unwrap your bundle and get into the dress Valeriana and Irene have prepared for you. The cloth is soft and brushes pleasantly on your skin, giving off a light tingling sensation.

Stepping outside, you find the ship's crew manning the sails. Heads turn to you, and, as if guessing that something is about to happen, they stop and wait.

"...No, no, continue. I'm just going to do some prayer on the ship's prow. I won't get in your way." You reassure them, walking towards the far end of the Fell-Shark.

You had no idea where Tia went, but here she is again, sneaking out from behind a line of barrels stacked on the deck and tied down, part of the loot you got from the Black Atoll. "You look great." She says, after a short pause spent looking at you.

"Thanks." That felt a bit weird, coming from her.

She sits on one of the barrels, hugging her knees, eyes fixed on you.

Your best hope is the Ocean Father.

You did some reading on western theology in Tianna sime time ago, and, considering everything, he seems the most approachable god in that sphere and with that level of power.

The Zephyr King is hard to communicate with, Rudhira can be jealous and doesn't like seeing women on boats unless they have red hair, Ruvia is difficult to reach, and you can't think of anyone else save for regional or local wind, current, travel, ship or sea gods, which would be more easy to persuade but less powerful.

And you're not doing this just to get a bit of speed: being on good terms with important local gods will help you in the long run, and you need to pick you allies well.

You look down, at the dark sea cutting itself on the ship's advancing prow. Time to start.

[MAJESTIC RADIANT PRESENCE] [ESSENCE 5/6]

You walk up to the barrels Tia is sitting on, and untie one from the rig, lifting it up in your hands. Dried tobacco, by the aroma.

She cocks her head, looking at you as if wondering what you're about to do, but just watches as you set it down closer to the ship's prow and then walk up to the very end of it.

Now, the crew has stopped again, looking at you.

You begin your steps. You don't have a dance planned, moving on instinct and improvisation. The light, rolling movement of the ship inspires you, suggesting steps and movements to your limbs.

The space available around you is narrow,but, rather than take it as a limitation, you work around it as a challenge. You lick the barrel up in the air, landing it on the top of your head and keeping it balanced for a few seconds before letting it fall down, upright, on the tip of the prow. Then, you leap on top of it, finishing your last steps on that tiny, raised platform.

"Lord of the West!" You call out to the dark sea, as your castemark blazes in full view and breaks the dark of the night, spreading a soft glow around you. "I need to talk to you. My name is Maka, Chosen of the Unconquered Sun!"

And from the black sea rises a black mass of water, then a white spray as a figure rises from the depths of the ocean.

You see before you, his feet planted on a circular isle of pond-like tranquility in the middle of the sea in front of the ship's prow, a handsomely rugged middle-aged man. His skin is dark green-blue, his hair as black as the ocean at night, right now, and flows from his head down like an endless wave of water.

"Hail, Maka, Pillar of Heaven." He salutes you, raising a hand. His figure is well-proportioned, but entirely out of human scale, as his eyes are level with yours despite him standing on the sea's surface. The ship is still advancing, driven by its sails, but somehow the god keeps standing still at a fixed distance from you. "It is good to talk to you."

"Likewise." you reply, trying to hide your nervousness. Despite everything, he's an extremely powerful god and it's the first time you deal with someone in his league like this...

...Well, the Unconquered Sun doesn't count. He's different.

"Accept on my and everyone's behalf this small gift from the spoils of our victory." You tell him, throwing the barrel of tobacco at him.

He catches it, the wooden container smacking on his huge hand, which then closes around it. "Thank you. I receive much prayer, and many sacrifices, but few are as sweet as this. Why did you call on to me?"

Rolled 7 (1d10)

>>36561621
And we have been rather Militant in our endeavours.

I reallz also think we should inquire about the gods opinion or disposition towards the Lintha and the Abyssals.

I mean, we most likely want to consider a preemptive strike on the lintha once we have the Abyssal situation covered, and we are going to war on his waters with the damned Abysalls so those are rather pertient questions since we might have some support from his side in our war or know what to stay clear of or whatever. Just to make sure.

And especially if we go Pirate Queen Maka to get a massive Naval power knowing about his disposition to our enemies and disposing them in conjuction with him if he dislikes them should give us a nice home field advantage in these waters if they cooperate with us, against future lintha, Abyssals, and perhaps later on possible Realm Expeditions.

Rolled 7 (1d10)

>>36561579
For Zenith castes, in the First Age Zeniths used to be called that because they would mediate between the gods and the mortals, providing stability throughout the realm.

>>36561694
Actual support is probably asking too much, he is literally the busiest god in the west.
That he sows up to us in person at all is a huge sign of respect for Maka and her position.

He definitly won't support us against others this directly, because it gets him in trouble with other western deities. Gods of his power just don't do that.
We can get a favor here and there if we ask for it and make the proper sacrifices.
But he won't work against others on our behalf.

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>36561720
I'll bet the only reason he's met us in person is because we're a zenith solar who just led a force that destroyed a lintha hell ship that would regularly pollute his ocean.

>>36561694
Abyssals maybe, depends on how good with the Western Courts the Tyrant is.
But definitly not Lintha or anyone else, the Lintha heavily bribe local gods and have been doing that for a long time, he is powerful, but he spends nearly all his time keeping the Western Courts together.
And while Maka doesn't know it, helping her at all is already a serious political risk for him, one of the reasons we asked him is because he likes Solars and is powerful enough to carry that kind of political baggage.

>>36561741
We might be the first Zenith or Solar who prayed to him since the Usurpation.
Thats probably the important part.

Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>36561720
Well, not constant intervention, but being favourably disposed to do us a favour now and again, it should be a nice bonus on big or important things that happen on the seas in the west.

Knwing that he personaly likes our work too and likes getting rid of Lintha and Abyssals means that us continuing to do so will form some sort of relationship between the two of us, he grating us the ocasional favour, we ocassionaly taking our a problem he cannot inervene with but dislikes or something of the sort.

>>36561508
Ask to be sped back to shore by a favorable current, and for Rakan's save return if he's still alive.

>>36561762
Its generally not a good idea to rely in any capacity on gods, especially not gods as powerful as him. Amata got that right at least.
We should be happy with the occasional thing we can get, when we can get it. But most likely this will be ur only personal audience.

"I ask for your help to return this fleet to Tianna as soon as possible, with the utmost speed." You tell him. "I fear that agents of the Deathlords might be attacking it as we speak."

"I will grant you that boon." He nods solemnly. "I suspect that you must be rather in a hurry right now, then."

"I am."

"It would be my pleasure to exchange words with you once the situation calms down. There are some things I would like to ask you, and others I feel you should know."

You try and mask your surprise. "Likewise."

"But it's something that can wait a few days. When you will wish to visit my Sanctum, consider yourself my guest. My temple in Tianna will await your visit."

"There is one other thing I would like to ask you, a personal favor... A Terrestrial fighting alongside us has been lost at sea in the battle, by the name of Rajan Hazaakaa."

"I will send my underlings to search for him around the Black Atoll. Whether he still lives or not, they will endeavor to return him to you."

"Thank you, Ocean Father." You bow to him, and, likewise, he bows back to you, before vanishing back into the sea.

All of sudden, you feel an acceleration that almost knocks you down, and even the entranced sailors behind you struggle to keep the balance, and some actually fall down in surprise. (Tia seems unconcerned.)

Your ship, and all the others in the fleet as well, pick up speed, moving at an amazing pace, far above what either wind or oars could propel them. In unison, the sailors on the deck raise cheers to you and to Ocean Father.

Now, it's just a matter of waiting.

A sneaking mission to rescue the former royalty of Gem, not exactly a cake walk, even for an Exalted

>>36561909
There is two charms we would have to buy before we could get Sun King Raidiance.
And Maka has really no use for Tempation Resisiting Stance, her Temperance is probably 1 or so.

>>36561846
>>36561865
Well, as soon as we deal with the Abysalls in a way that leaves us in a secure position we would have to shore up their loyalty and their cooperation as a team so when we send them to get our family we can make sure they are properly motivated on a personal level and are willing to do it beyond just our say so.

That and we should send them as fast as we can do because captivity in conditions akin to the ancient world, even for former royalty or tyrands is not nice, especially for them, since they usually end up in a ceremonial beheading or strangulation.

>>36561921
It is, but each Celestial Exalt is a huge resource to invest, so we should be careful in who we can afford to not have around.
Mikahil could be vital in negotiating with the Tyrant if we can.

I actually don't think they'd have been executed. The tyrant will want to keep them alive on principal.

If he executed the previous ruling family when he took power then he could expect to be executed if he loses power to a usurper.

He hadn't executed them by the time Karan escaped, so I assume they are kept around as trophies.

>then he could expect to be executed if he loses power to a usurper
He can expect that anyway, thats how it works in Gem. They had way too many usupred family lines coming back to power after generations, so they just kill them all by now.

You leap off the Fell-Star back to the new Tianna flagship (you don't remember the name) and head underdeck. You remember hearing that Karas dropped his few things here.

Even though you won the battle, your fleet is not exactly in good order. You lost your flagship, took a lot of damage and losses, and filled your holds with loot, so the entire trip back home is confused and disorganized, with people being spread across the entire fleet, resting and patching themselves up wherever there's space.

You stop in front of the door to his quarters, hearing him talking to someone.

"...and they have this theater with undead actors, so that they can actually kill them on stage! They even redid some popular plays in an extremely bloody and gory way to exploit that."

"...Did you go and see them?" That's Samiel's voice.

"Pssh. Of course not. It's not like I was free to walk around at leisure. I'll admit the idea was brilliant. I mean, I don't understand how people can watch normal theater, it's so dreadfully boring. At least seeing some silly fop spill his guts on the scene can be entertaining the first couple of times I guess. But still, it's all part of this big ruse, this attempt to make Skullstone look like a decent, civilized place. Hide the nasty stuff behind a curtain of civility."

First of all, what makes you think they have no interest in men?
Because they didn't fuck any yet? maka hadn't shown any interest in men for many chapters too, and yet that wasn't considered a reason for her to be bi being "Outr of character".

You're the only one projecting here, projecting your gay onto characters who are not, while trying to justify it by pointing to completely different character like their sexuality changes someone completely differents sexuality.

Play the character and respect the character, or fuck off with your metagaming That Guy shit.

This is literally the first time they interacted.
And Maka got two wifes, plus Irene.
I see no reason why Karas can't aspire to his sisters standards.

I don't really care who Karas gets with as long as it's not Maka, incestfags are the worst.

I really recommend just reading the threads, some pretty cool stuff came up since then

>>36562129
anon is on the internet and exagerating, but not untrue in the essence.

In the books it is alwazs noted when one has a preference for men or women and it is never siad that somone swings both ways. Thus meaning that swinging both ways is assumed to be the deafault setting, just as how we see being hetero the default.

And just as romans cared only about who penetrated who, and not if they be man or female, since being penetrated was by default submissive and they had a hard on for dominance.

Difrent cultures have diffrent ideas of norms and normality, and diffrent views on what is healthy sexuality.

>>36562140
Easily 90% of this gay stuff is clearly just to rile up the incestfags because they get the saltiest about this kind of shit

For some weird reason it seems like there are a few anons who think that its this incestfag V gayfag war, when its really not that complicated at all, its simple faggotry of the highest order in all its forms and permutations and nothing more

Rolled 4 (1d10)

>>36562155
Not the anon that's arguing but I honestly think it's cute, not that I think anything we talk about concerning other characters will come true, it's all suppose to be harmless fun

"So... were you just locked in a basement somewhere? Or did they put you to work?"

"For the longest time, I thought they had actually forgotten about me. Well, us. I was locked up in a cell with another fifty or so people. Some debtors or criminals, some slaves bought in bulk, some victims of piracy who ended up being part of the prize... they fed us some grey sludge once a day and that's it. When they remembered, at least. In three weeks, half of us were dead. And... not normal dead."

"What do you mean? Dead of what?"

"Maybe hunger, maybe sickness, maybe weakness, maybe just hopelessness or infected wounds, but every time... when someone was about to die, he started screaming. When you heard the screams, you knew someone was dying. Even while sleeping, they just jolted awake, screamed for a minute or two, bam, fall over dead."

"That's not... was that sorcery or something?"

"No idea. I don't know anything about that. But... I heard something from another prisoner there."

"What?"

"Well, they use human flesh for crafting. They use the bones as well, mixing them with steel or enchanting them and shaping them. Eyes are recycled, since high-maintenance zombies need replacements. Teeth and nails are used for decoration and precision parts..."

"...I think I get it. They use everything from the human body. So..."

"...So what about souls? Do they use them too?"

"Do they... rip them off?"

"I have no idea. But, if we were betting, I'd put my money on "yes"."

There's a short pause.

"Did Maka tell you about the Abyssal problems we have in Tianna?"

"A bit. I also asked Amata earlier. Seems like a mess."

"Think they do stuff like that too?"

"...They're Deathlords. Why do you think people call them that? Heck, they call THEMSELVES that. How bonkers do you think someone needs to be to call himself a DEATHLORD?"

And you started at the bottom anon. This issue has been dealt with and argued to death several times over and was put to rest in the story and you keep bringing it up despite everything telling you it ain't happening.

[spoiuler] I think they would be a cute pairing, they have a lot in common and complementing personalities. But the simple fact is most of the people bothering to argue against the bigotistic idiots do it just to rile them up. [/spoiler]

Citation needed. Karas's sexuality has never been nailed down. He's hardly had any characterization at all so far aside from 'protective.'

It really hasn't at all. Nothing ever prevents them from hooking up at any point. Unless one of them takes a vow of chastity or something like that.

So that somehow overrides the fact one is already in a relationship and the other is so far from what he's said, not inclined towards that way, nor do they want to see each other that way?

I don't even care about the argument but thats just flat out untrue, he has barely any characterisation at all, let alone a setting in stone his one true sexual leanings. Which would be bullshit in Exalted anyway.

Ask if Karas would be willing to make some leaflets or flyers or whatever with us about what life is REALLY like on skullstone.

Rolled 8 (1d10)

To try and move the conversation topic to something less mind numbingly dumb

On Exaltedfag's ask he mentioned that we haven't actually talked about the second demesne we have, the one we're suppose to dedicate to Flow and the water court.

I actually want to get a full powered hearthstone from that one, but for the manse design I was thinking about a sort of comfort house/hot spring sort of thing

>>36562209
>So that somehow overrides the fact one is already in a relationship
Äh, yhow does it need to override anything? It didn't bother Maka. It didn't stop him from sleeping with maka even though Maka was the lover of his own mother and sister. Let alone Tia being there.
> the other is so far from what he's said, not inclined towards that way
I bet if someone would have used this argument for Maka not sleeping with any guys, you would have gotten really mad and claimed that just sleeping with women so far doesn't prove she is only into women.
