>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.

uhh should we use a charm or something?

Rolled 1 (1d10)

>>38034496
We should have SHS and AiRS up, plus this roll here is a mistake >>38034402

They rolled a d01 instead of a d10

>>38034515
are they already applied or do we need to pop them again?

Rolled 3 (1d10)

>>38034526
We shouldn't need to, I'm pretty sure they are working, that's probably why Maka could parry a sword strike with an open palm.
>Baron interrupts your train of thought with a deep lunge, which you manage to parry with your open palm. The blade sends off sparks as it clashes and slides against your skin, and you and the Dusk-caste clash against each other, shoulder to shoulder.
Maka is super cool by the way.

(You have [SOLAR HERO STYLE] and [ARMORED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS STANCE 2] on.
You're also at [ESSENCE: 2/6], I didn't have Photoshop with me to edit the sheet, sorry.)

Physical + Dawn = 5 3 5 5 1 1 3 7 10 = 3 succ.

You take two quick steps towards the Abyssal, but just as you start to build up momentum to lunge at him with both hands and grab his swords, he melts away from your grasp with a flowing movement.

You're left, for a moment, with no target. And then two swords slam into your stomach, point-first. They don't pierce your skin, but the force of the impact lifts you off your feet and forces the air out of your lungs.

You catch, with the corner of your eye, Tia standing up from her seat in the cart and barely forcing herself to not jump in the fray. Millian seems suitably horrified, while Reken is clearly enjoying the fight.

Then, the abyssal slams an axe kick that locks his heel onto your neck. Your vision rotates and ends on the ground as your head opens a small crater in the rocky, dry soil surrounding you.

"...you're hard." he grins, taking a step back as the dust settles and you slowly stand back up.

That hurt.

Physical + dawn = 9 2 2 2 8 10 6 1 10 = 6 succ.

You charge at the Abyssal, building up speed and kicking up sand and dirt behind you, then leap, straight up and ahead, bringing both legs up, heel first.

He lifts both blades, crossed, to parry your strike, and chains and black shadowy hands rise from his own shadow to intercept you as his castemark erupts in a bloody glow.

Your flying kick plunges through the chains and shadows, cutting into them like an arrow through flesh: cleanly through, but they do slow down your momentum.

You connect with his guard, and you see his heles digging two deep trenches in the ground as he is thrown back, absorbing the force of the strike.

Landing back on your feet, you both stand motionless in front of each other for a tense moment.

You do have the sudden realization that he's holding back. He's clearly more skilled than you in personal combat, but he's not interested in going full-power and defeating you.

Plus, he's nimble, fast and agile, but you don't know if he's actually strong enough to hurt you. This could be a standstill.

After facing for a handful of seconds, he surprises you making a quick gesture at you, and two long black chains shoot at you from inside his sleeve, each tipped with a jagged, wide-bladed knife.

You don't even try and parry them: the blades are slow and thrown without much force, and they bounce harmlessly against you.

...then the chains wrap around your arms and torso, suddenly moving of their own accord, like living snakes, and tug you towards him.

You plant your feet deeply in the ground and grab the chains. They're terribly cold to the touch, but you withstand it, even though your hands cover with frost almost instantly.

The Dusk lifts an eyebrow in surprise.

You give a sudden pull, and he is torn off the ground and flies straight at you, with a total disregard for gravity.

You ⇨ ⇩ ⇨ + P and slam you fist, hard, on the abyssal's chin as soon as he's in range.

Your fist, however, only grazes him, ripping through chains and clothes and a bit of skin as the Dusk waves around your uppercut and slides behind you.

Following his movement, loops of chains try and wrap around your arm, but the shockwave of your fist shatters them and scatters broken bits of black steel throughout the sky.

"I don't. Not yet." He whispers in your ear as he slides behind you and you turn around to chase him. "They don't have my name. They don't know me. Mistress kept me hidden."

You swing your fist around, and he ducks just below it. "Not gonna last long. They'll get to me, sooner or later. But for now... They don't Whisper to me. And they can't hear us."

"The dead titans at the heart of Death itself." He whispers, with icy breath, as you grab his neck and slam him through twenty centimeters of rocky ground.

"I heard about them." You whisper back, as you let him wrest itself free with a roundhouse kick to your arm. The impact is hard enough to numb it a bit. He backflips up on his feet and immediately shoulder-checks you ten meters back.

"They eat our names and take a hold on our souls." You hear as you both roll on the ground, crushing and shattering rocks where you go. "But I had lost mine before mistress gave me the Black Exaltation."

"Smart."

"It was an accident, but a lucky one." After a brief struggle, he elbows you in the back of the neck, grabs you across the waist from behind, and lifts you up. His swords, moving on their own accord on the chains, drill into both sides of your ribcage, pointed at the heart, spraying sparks all around.

"...What do they say?" You wonder, suspended in the moment of silence.

"Murder." He whispers back, before suplexing you. "Crush. Kill. Destroy. Burn everything down. Ruin Creation forever."

You're left on the ground, the air completely knocked out of you, your sides sore and black and blue.

You slowly stand up, batting rocks and pebbles and dust out of your dress and cracking your hurting neck left and right.

"...What does this have to do with me? I ain't no Abyssal and a still have my name-"

Baron catches you by surprise. You thought the fight was over now, but apparently no one told him. He grabs you by the ankle and lifts you entirely up off your feet, leaving you hanging for a second...

"You killed them."

"...It wasn't me." You manage to reply, caught by surprise by the sudden reversal of the entire world around you.

"They don't care." He slams you on the ground like a sledgehammer, holding you by the ankle, squeezing it almost to the breaking point.

"They remember you." Then he lifts you back up and hits you back on the other side, and does a bit of back-and-forth slamming you around.

"And they want you to destroy everything good around you and inside you, and then to die in a fire."

He lets you go when he finds Tia's Skullopener held straight in front of his throat. You roll on the ground, your head spinning.

"They whisper to you, too." He takes one step back. "You can't hear it, but you sometimes you'll act on it."

You awkwardly shuffle your head around as the world around you slowly stops spinning.

Tia slowly lowers the daiklave.

"So." unconcerned, Baron sheathes his blades. "If you ever listened to voices in your head you didn't want to hear."

He offers you a hand, to pull you back up on your feet.

"Voices that made you blind and deaf, voices that made you ruin everything. Even if you didn't hear them."

Tia slowly steps back.

"Then you and Tyrant have a common enemy." He smiles weakly. "So, what about those voices?"

You grab his hand and take his help to stand back up.

"That never happened." you reply, confidently. "I'm sorry, you're wasting your time here."

He bites his lower lip, letting your hand go. "...I see. There's no chance to see eye to eye on this, then."

"Afraid not." you shake your head, patting dust off you some more, walking back to the cart. Tia follows you closely. "This is all a huge waste of time for you all, sorry."

He looks down, sullen. "You're probably right."

"For me as well." you exchange glances with Millian, who is wearing a very worried expression. "Now, what do I have to do to get Regis back?"

"...at this point there's no reason for you to go and meet Tyrant, so he's useless to us. I guess I'll go and order him released." he also glances briefly at Millian. "I might be a pirate, but I'd like to think I'm not so low as to start a war while keeping a hostage I got in good faith."

To be honest, I don't think the urse has been that relevant inthe quest. Oh, sure, she fucked some people, doesn't mean it was curse based decision.

Unless you mean the curse is us, there has been no instances of the urse happening (that I can remember, at least). Everything has been our choice, which is the opposite of the Great Curse.

>I want to meet Tyrant anyway. I need to tell her something.

Wait, didn't we hear whispers when we were on the Titan ?

Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>38036746
The orgy was the curse happening, EF straight up told us that.

We've even seen it in others, how Tia was willing to kill other peoples and how not!Maka's first thought about who was trying to kill her were her circle mates, or just all the bad shit that still happened in the First Age

In case anyone had forgotten, the Great Curse is real and is affecting us, even if you think so far it's harmless it's only going to get worse and we have a chance to mitigate it right now by realizing it's real.

"Do whatever you want, I'm tired of this charade." You reply, looking away from Millian. "There are no voices from beyond Death whispering to me. There is no curse." you mumble to yourself, staring into the distance as you climb back onto the cart.

"Maka...?" Millian is very distressed. You see she,s almost about to break and cry.

"Don't worry. Everything will be alright." you reassure her. "They're not going to hurt him."

"Maka." Tia whispers to you, but you lift a finger to silence her.

"...what about me?" Reken asks, worried.

"I'll free you when Regis gets back to Tianna."

She exchanges glances with Baron, and he nods before walking away, back towards the black airship.

"...seems fair." she mumbles.

You turn the cart around, taking care not to break a wheel in the broken landscape, and head back towards Tianna, sad that you had to waste so much time trying to find a solution where there was none, but still a bit relieved that you didn't waste as much time as the abyssals tried to take up.

For the entire trip back, Tia looks at you, frowning. It's an odd, pensive look, one that you don't often see on her.

>What? You mad at me or something?

Your tears are delicious. But I'm afraid you don't have the willpower to resist the curse.
But seriously, this isn't even railroad. EF wanted us to proceed and discover more, this pretty much the curse fucking everyone's plans, even his.
I can only imagine how frustrated he is right now, poor EF.

How can you honestly believe that? We are not discovering ANYTHING with this, nor proceeding to do anything.

This is EF deliberately being an antagonistic fucktard and railroading us AWAY from what we were doing, what we came here to do.

and that is why I dislike the Great Curse. It robs players of all agency, both in the original game and this quest

>>38037063
No he didn't, he didn't give us a chance for anything, if he did he wouldn't have just outright ignored every single vote after that update and steamrolled straight through with this bullshit.

Of course, I'd also like to avoid the topic of the curse entirely, I don't want this quest to become Undo the Great Curse 3.7 Maka Edition.

Okay, can someone explain the Great Curse to me?

I mean, I thought it was supposed to make the Exalted act like a version of themselves with all their bad traits up to eleven.

The curse is something that helps an exalted character be cooler and more awesome by giving her a flaw that is compared to insanity.

It's actually a pretty cool mechanic.

>>38037213
>Also, what were we supposed to do? Lie about hearing voices?
I have no idea.
The Baron's logic doesn't make much sense to me. The Neverborn aren't our common enemies and we can't ally against them because we don't hear their voices? Wouldn't them wanting to destroy all of creation be enough reason to make them our enemy?

By canon yeah that's more of less what it is, but this quest isn't Raw and like any Storyteller EF can change any part of canon to how he wishes, something less gamist it looks like, liek with the Raksha he made it less rules-y and more narrative-y.

Ugh, fuck. That's the most cliche shit in exalted games and this will really bring down the quest, imo.

>>38037213

I honestly don't think that ever actually mattered now, sadly like this entire thread. A shame to see such a great quest go this way.

>>38037236

And how are we supposed to know when it happens?

What the fuck were we supposed to do?

Why is it happening now?

>>38037251
Well you can thank your wonderful QM for that then, its entirely up to him and in his hands, as you can see nothing we, the players, say or do matters at all anymore.

>>38037267
>Why is it happening now?
Because the QM wanted to stir some drama with it and it horribly backfired like the terrible idea it is can only be expected to do.

After a whole five minutes, you pull the reins and stop the cart, unable to withstand Tia's inquisitive gaze any longer.

"Okay, what." You ask her, irritably, turning around to face her.

"You're overreacting." She notes peacefully.

"You're one to talk." You reply. "Since when have you been the voice of reason in this outfit?"

She scratches her head. "You're just acting weird."

"Back against the Lintha you were seriously thinking about cutting my legs off to keep me out of the fight." You remind her.

"I was being stupid back then." She admits. "You're being stupid right now."

You take a deep breath, trying to calm yourself. "I should go back home." You tell her.

She doesn't reply.

"Nothing will change anyway. Deathlords are Deathlords. It's a waste of time. It's not like I have a free choice. It's not like this entire crazy plan can work. It was all doomed to fail from the beginning."

"...Why are we going back?" This time it's Millian asking you.

"I don't have a choice." You reply.

Tia sighs loudly. You drop the reins and cross your arms. "Okay, what?" You ask her, like a challenge.

"I'm not going to marry a woman who gives up so easily." She says, looking at you straight in the eyes.

"Pfft." You try and suppress derisive laughter. "It's me. You're going to marry me anyway."

You immediately feel bad about saying that. You feel bad about THINKING that.

For a long minute, you just want to dig a hole in the ground and bury yourself.

In utter silence, under Tia and Millian's gaze, you pick the reins back up.

I think that's very poor in a dramatic sense to get "ahahaha now you act like a bitch" without anything happening, like us feeling more and more angry, or a clear mental monologu showing how our thought are twisted, or a description of how we percieve things in a different way.

You pick up the reins and drive the cart back on the road towards the airship.

Tia says nothing, she just keeps looking at you, like she's studying your facial expression.

The silence gets embarrassingly long and empty.

You decide to break it after a while, when you reach the point where Baron was waiting for you. "...Tia, I-"

"You don't have to say anything." She interrupts you.

"But-"

"It's alright."

You drive the cart past the broken terrain. Time passes. You make good way, alone with your thoughts.

The panorama around you turns downright ghastly. You see skeletons marching in ordered files and ranks, under black and silver banners. You see the sky turning black and cloudy, and the soil grey and lifeless. And, in the distance, but growing bigger and bigger with every spin of your wheels, the black shadow of Tyrant's airship, resting atop a black, dry hill.

Finally, you reach it. Tents and flags are littered around in the orderly chaos of a silent, lifeless army camp.

On the side of the ship, a large steel arch opens like a gate inside the bowels of the beast.

An old acquaintance is waiting for you there, standing in the middle of the passage. He looks surprised.

"Baron told me you turned back."

"Do you ever hear voices in your head?"

>>38037584

what.

what

tahw

are you telling me that all this was because one dude posted five words with a spoiler?

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>38037559
>>38037612
This.

>>38037583
I wish you and the other spies the worst death imaginable.

Rolled 7 (1d10)

>>38037559

Forgot my die

>>38037642
It was probably EF who posted that, but yes, its all because of that and EF.

Rolled 3 (1d10)

>>38037642
Maybe?

I think anon is just theorizing.

It's impossible to put everything you're feeling in one sentence right now.

You shrug lightly and say, dimissively: "I changed my mind."

That'll have to do.

He grins. "I'm sure you heard the question a lot of times already. You're probably sick of it."

He doesn't say it, but it's as if he did.

>"No."
>"Yes."
>"Maybe."
>"Honestly? I don't know."
>"What about you?"
>"Can we skip this? I'm quite in a hurry."

>>38037652
>anon
You mean EF posting as anon, as I bet he was the one who posted that one post that seemingly brought all of this about.

>>38037559
>I changed my mind.
>I have a question for you. (what?)
"Do you ever hear voices in your head?"

I may be remembering wrong, but wasn't Maka super irritable for no real reason throughout the last couple threads? That may have been foreshadowing.

>>38037652
>>38037650

so the Baron was right and there is effectively voices that make us fuck up, but it's completly meta?

Rolled 9 (1d10)

>>38037676
>>"Yes."

>>38037676
>"No."
there are no voices, stop focusing so much on voices

Rolled 7 (1d10)

>>38037676
>>"Yes."

>>38037650
No, that was me.

But I'm going to ask him if he goes back to the IRC, faggots had to make him quit.

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>38037681
She was.

>>38037676
>"Yes."
No gloating.

>>38037676
"Well maybe if someone actually took the time to explain what tell they're talking about? I've always sucked at koans."

Rolled 4 (1d10)

>>38037676

I don't think lying is going to help

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>38037676
>"Yes."

Oh for fucks sake can we please move on already? All you're doing is dragging this quest through the mud and turning it into Exalted Quest: Crusade Against the Curse Edition, like every fucking other campaign or story.

Rolled 5 (1d10)

>>38037676

>>38037676

Bah, there still are no voices.

>>38037681
>I may be remembering wrong, but wasn't Maka super irritable for no real reason throughout the last couple threads? That may have been foreshadowing.

...You might be on to something.

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>38037681

Nah, Maka was pretty nice with the first general, and incredibly patient with the second (who was trying to annoy us, among other things).

>>38037676
>"No."
making them think the GC manifests in the form of voices is only going to hurt us in the long run

Rolled 1 (1d10)

>>38037676

I'm willing to say something is up.

>>38037676
>"Honestly? I don't know."

>>38037676
>>"No."
>"I don't hear voices, but it's notthat what matters. It's 'can they hear me?' that does."
The implications of them actually watching a solar is far greater than anything else.

I hope he does, he was fun to talk with and I also had some things to discuss with him regarding fanart and such, a pity the trolls have to shit everything up as always. Hopefully he goes back to it when things have calmed down. I'm going to go do some errands and let this thread and things blow over hopefully.

"I an pregnant and do not feel like this shit right now."

>>38037727

we had a tea party that ended in a hug and we weren't even rude when the other tried to make Tia distressed.

>>38037681
You're remembering things wrong, she wasn't like that at all, only in this thread for these last few updates.

Rolled 7 (1d10)

We're willing to talk about it

It's something, specifics aside something happened.

This has long since got way more confusing than you're comfortable with.

"...No... I don't think so? Yes? Maybe?" You reply. "I'm not a hundred percent sure. My head is a mess right now. What about you?"

"...I do, but I'm closer to their source then you are." He admits. "They might be clearer to me than they are to you. Maybe less sneaky, too." He steps aside. "...If you feel ready. The Tyrant of the Doomsday Machine is waiting for you."

Please, no GC plot. That's an awful plot.

Let's get this clusterfuck over with so we can brainbleech this thread and this retarded situation from our minds and memories.

Too late anon, no breaks on EF's GC PLOT train. I guess this means another down the toilet.

I mean,

Rolled 10 (1d10)

Just for the chance to call it a Nega-Twilight.

>>38037821
Just because you fon't like it doesn't make it real anon

>>38037846
Doesn't make it any less shit and detrimental to every single story it is featured in, just like this one.

Well, fuck. Here's hoping it will go back to the background after this thread.

Nowhere else to go now.

>>38037908
With how EF has done things this thread, I doubt it will, though I really fucking hope it does go to the background and never becomes the focus ever again, but it would seem that the Abyssals plot is all about fighting the Curse with the Titan, which would be fucking appalling on EF's part to reduce the quest to another GC plot campaign.

I really really hope I'm wrong though, but its not looking like it sadly.

I wonder if the same people who complain about having to solve the Great Curse are the same who complain when Maka suffers from it.

"The GC forced use to do a thing, QM is a faggot."
"How about we get rid of the GC then?"
"Fuck no."

>>38038010
some people just dislike the GC because temporary insanity is a very cheap way of adding drama

>>38038010
>"How about we get rid of the GC then?"
>"Fuck no."
Every single story and quest and campaign I've seen always ends up being about getting rid of the GC, and it is always shit and it always ruins the story and the fun, there are very good reasons why most of us don't want to touch the fucking thing with a 100 foot pole, it is toxic.

>>38038010
People don't want to quest to get rid of the GC, they want to retcon the GC out of the game.
