After a short exchange you and Canis decide to travel across the continent to rescue your brother from... Actually, thinking back on it, you're not quite sure what your plan was, exactly, but you decided to do it, and then did it, and that's what counts!

After getting the necessary supplies from some very scared and confused NPCs, you and Canis took a horse and cart to the entrance of the city and recruited fellow players to help you across the continent. This is where you met Trove the pirate and Judicature the Swashbuckler. Lilac and Takeshi also joined the group before you all left on your adventure across the continent.

The first night was mostly spent talking. You remember following a voice, off to find Judi singing to herself, quite badly. After a very awkward conversation, the you went to bed.

The next day you were caught in a sand storm and had to seek refuge in a mansion in the middle of the desert, a place which Judicature stated as being “The best quest in the game.” The mansion, however, lacked the quest which was supposedly based on Clue.

After being ambushed by a level 90 necromancer, who seemed to be able to change her voice on a whim, Judicature guided you and the rest of the party through the many secret passages in the manor. After reaching the roof to rescue Takeshi, who was going to challenge the summoner to a duel, you meet face to face with the summoner, only to stun-lock her and sacrifice her to a rampaging Coyote.

Fleeing from the destroyed mansion, you rode the rest of the night along side Judi. The two of you talked about spaghetti before being interrupted by a tree with players hanging from it. After making your way into town you talk with the locals only to find out that NPCs are conscious, but more importantly, booze gets your drunk.

>>39429560
Judi then increases her guild rank thanks to some help of yours, you are challenged to a duel by Takeshi and win, are arrested by the sqeaker for illegal PvP (which was a lie), got possessed by a raid boss by the name of the Man in Black, and woke up in a cart heading for the city of Boulder.

Halfway to Boulder you came across three dwarves belonging to the guild <Swag Bros.>. They informed you of a race that would be held. Lilac seemed determined to enter, so you and the rest of the party rode, day and night, to reach Boulder as quickly as possible. Judi sacrificed her own HP to hasten the journey.

After reaching the city, you and Lilac got into an argument over the theoretical vehicle. You wanted a steam engine, but Lilac threw her hands up and proclaimed it too hard, saying that she was giving up. You did not like this at all, and yelled at her. She yelled back at you and the two of you decided to go your own way.

You wandered the city, looking for a new blacksmith to partner up with, which is when you found Tabula of the <49ers>. The two of you worked tirelessly on a steam engine, creating a mighty land-ship you named The Big Red One, or the BRO for short.

You entered the BRO into the race while Lilac entered a small electric car. On the day of the race, you instructed your crew to ride without you while you searched for a map. A grinning, toothy man was more than happy to oblige a map to you, at least that's how you remember it.

Catching up to the BRO with the cart, which you end up leaving behind as you climbed up. Using the map as a guide, you blow through shortcuts and end up in first, but at the last second Lilac pulls ahead of you and wins, at the cost of her life, though, as her car caught fire.

Heading into the city temporarily, you find that Coyote had destroyed pretty much everything, but had also revived The First Man, which appeared to have placated the shapeshifter.

I LOVE YOU TINY SHEPHERD

>>39429590
That is when The King in Iron attacked. It was a mighty beast that seemed unstoppable until Judi pulled out a wand from the murder mansion and shot the creature, killing it instantly, which showered you all in gold.

Heading back to Boulder, you are told that you would be proclaimed the winner instead of Lilac, which Lilac did not seem to mind. She had commented that she only entered to prove to herself she could do it.

When you reach the city, you deliver a victory speech about freedom, adventurers, and land-ships! It was amazingly American. It was then that you and Lilac were commissioned to make a new model of land-ships for the <49ers> under the price that you would be able to have the first one built for you free of charge.

As the ship was being built, you and Lilac were invited to the castle of King Oberon, who offered food to you and the guests you brought with you, which seemed to put everyone into a highly hallucinatory state. You, luckily, did not eat. This left you the only sane one.

As the only sane one, the king rewarded you with a play on what happened during the last moment of the race. After that point you and the king exchanged words over the world that Adventurers came from. After which you left the castle, your party members following you out.

That night, the king had abducted Lilac with the help of his secret agents called the Umbra. What was worse was it turned out the Lander Canis had fallen in love with was a member of the Umbra.

>>39429613
You, Takeshi, Trove, and Tabula decide to assault the castle along with the rest of the <49ers>. Not having the time to carefully scale the walls, you crash the BRO through the gates, causing the mighty land-ship to explode into a shower of teeth and fleshy substance. Not wanting to think too hard on what had just transpired, the group charges their way into castle. Tabula took care of the animal-headed butlers while the rest of you went for the king himself. Although the king was a low level noble, he had someone protecting him. Aideen, the Lander Canis had fallen in love with, was not only a member of the Umbra, but was also an unused raid boss that was still stuck in the coding.

While Aideen defended her king against you, Canis, and Takeshi, she did not foresee a hallucinating Lilac striking the king through a wall. With the king dead, Aideen disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

With the castle being raided for all useful materials by the <49ers>, all you could do was find a handful of books about Adventurers from the perspective of Landers pre-databasing.

Returning to the city of Boulder, Canis swore that he would go out and find her. It was not shortly after that your younger brother called you to tell you he was on his way to Boulder and that he had passed some Lander named Aideen. Canis, being informed of this, instantly began to chase after her. When you sent Judi to go after him, she instead gave him her horse, sending him even faster away from you.

It was not long until the <Morning Star> came to investigate the entire King Oberon debacle, and with some words from Judi, you seemed to have been found innocent.

Then the land-galleon is complete. It is named The Manifest Destiny, and a party is thrown atop it to celebrate the completion of the first land-galleon. This is where you meet Tarot, Edifice, and Carnegie, three old school players who hadn't played since vanilla Elder Tales.

friendly reminder that you never wrote that smut

>>39429631
After the party, you wandered outside to city to relax, only to be verbally accosted by a familiar elf woman. Symbology, the fake-named, had returned, much to your hatred. She informed you that she was looking for Lilac. You took her to your dwarf friend only to find out that Lilac had no intention of leaving with you for Big Apple.

After some discussing, you tell Lilac she should do what she wants, but she would always have a place on your land-galleon.

With the land-galleon complete and ready to launch, you pull the thing out of the city with your entire crew. Lilac had decided to come with, along with Symbology, Tarot, Edifice, and Carnegie.

A small way outside the city, you meet your brother who had a flavorful pizza for all of you.

Your course was then decided. You would head south to Pueblo to head around the Frontier the ensure the Manifest Destiny always has a road to drive on.

When you reach Pueblo, the city of the spider-people, you spoke to Grandma Spider, who told you how the night sky was formed, and the interesting substance of Star Water.

It was then that you began to scheme. There were so many opportunities in this city. Spider silk air-ships, spider silk underwear, star water lanterns, the possibilities were endless!

That's when you noticed a streak of light across the night sky. A star had fallen, and with it, star water.

You and your brother ran off together to get it, but when you got there, a very rude elf was there waiting.

>>39429655
And now back to our regularly scheduled Quest

“Stop!” You shout at your brother. You get between him and the elf assassin named Watershed. “He's just some asshole from the internet! Ignore him!”

Your brother gnashes his teeth, but does not charge the elf.

You open up your friend menu and call Judi.

“What's wrong?” She says.

You whisper, “Get the crew together and drive the Manifest Destiny to my location.” CLICK.

You turn to the elf and look him up and down. “So.” You say to him, “Mind giving me that water you just got?”

“Depends.” The assassin replies, “What'cha want it for?”

“Lighting up some rooms.” You reply, “Walking into walls isn't fun.”

“Sure is a lot of work for something torches can do.”

“Torches just aren't my style.”

“You expect me to believe that?”

“Well, it is the truth, so, yes.”

The elf glances between you and your brother. “<Swich Licour>, huh?” He comments, “So, I take it this has something to do with getting food with taste in it.”

You shake your head, “No, that's just silly.”

“And how am I supposed to believe you?”

You want to comment on the fact that you are far more intelligent than this man, but you think it best to state something else.

“Taste some.” You say, “It won't taste like anything.” At least you don't think it will taste like anything. At the very least you'll know what happens when someone drinks star water.

He looks at you with a raised eyebrow, then holds the star water in his hand. It is so viscous that it is practically a gel. He puts his lips upon it and sucks some of the water in. He sloshes it around in his mouth before swallowing. “Well, it did taste like something, so you're fuckin' wrong, but...” He shivers, “Can't say it tastes like anything I'd want to tas-” He words are cut off by a bright blue flame spewing from his mouth. The blue flame consumes his faces and then his stomach suddenly bursts open, more flames pouring out. Before you can full comprehend what is going on, the elf has turned to a charred skeleton, his HP at 0, and his inventory and gold plopping onto the ground.

You and your brother glance at each other, and then stare at the star water. You delicately pick it up and place it into your bag.

“So...” Your brother comments, “Should we take his stuff?”

The way I figure it, he's gonna come after us, and any dude could swipe his gear from his corpse over there. Or any monster or such. If we really want to make it up to him, we can send him a message telling him where we are so he can pick up his stuff.

“Might as well, I mean, it's right here.” You and your brother go about picking up his inventory. He had a small amount of gold, only about 100 gold pieces. He must have just hit a bank, or maybe bought something. He also had a bunch of vendor trash; was he farming something out here? A bunch of potions of his level, which is not uncommon.

That is when you notice it. The sword. It is artifact level. One step below the highest tier in the game, but he shouldn't have been able to drop this unless he neglected to bind it to him. It is level 90, max level in the game, and has no one bound to it. You couldn't bind it to yourself, though, as you don't meet the level requirement. Your brother couldn't even bind to it just to spite the guy, even if he wanted to. Monks can't use swords.

Your brother looks to the sword, then looks to you, then to the sword, then to you. “You should cast Return Home before he shows back up. He'd kill you for that sword. Hell, I'd probably kill you for that sword.”

“You'd kill me? Really?” You respond.

“Well, not you-you, but the you that is not you with the sword.” He explains.

“What?”

“Okay, so, if you weren't my brother, or anyone I really know for that matter, if you were instead some rando I've never seen before, and I knew you had that sword, I'd probably kill you.”

“Yeah, but you can't even use it.”

“Yeah, but it's clean. No one's equipped it yet. I could sell that for tons of gold.”

You look at the blade.

“I think I'll find that guy and give it back.” You comment before swirling your hands in the air. A magic circle forms around you as you cast Return Home.

“Really!? I mean, it's super fuckin' good, though!”

“Yeah, but it'd be a super dick move to steal it, and I'm just a regular dick.”

With that you vanish in a flash of light and find yourself just outside the city of Pueblo. You jump into the city as quickly as possible in case the assassin was waiting for you to teleport back.

You open up the friend menu to add that assassin, but it dawns on you that you don't remember his name. Waterbed? Water...med..al? Water....shed? Watershed! That was it!

You add the name to your friend list and hit the call button.

“Hello?” The voice on the other end answers.

“Hey, it's that guy you were trying to get the star water from. I have your... uh... sword.”

“DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT SWORD!” He shouts.

“Woah there, guy. I already have it, but-”

“But... But I was out there for so long... I... It's less than a hundredth of a percent drop chance...”

“I... I could tell it was rare so...”

“Why would you do this to me!? What did I ever do to you!?”

“Well, you were kind of an asshole to me and my brother.”

“B-but! But I... I forgot to equip it...”

“I could tell, which is why I-”

“Please, just leave me to wallow in my misery.”

“Motherfucker, I am trying to give you this thing back! It's still clean! Not soulbound to anyone! Do you want it back or not!?”

“YES!~ Yes! I want it back!”

“Then get your ass over to the entrance of the city!” You hang up the call. This guy is almost as bad as Takeshi. You ponder a moment. Well, he is not that bad, comparing him to someone like Takeshi is very insulting.

Thinking about Takeshi, you remember yelling at him earlier today. Perhaps you should apologize to him. Your mind wanders some more.

Now that you think about it, it's been a while since you've talked to Canis. What could he be doing now? You should probably talk to him too while you're thinking of people to talk to. Trove too. Trove said he might have figured out how to make booze taste like real booze, perhaps that should be investigated.

Suddenly a thought goes through you like lightning.

SHIT~! You completely forgot that you called in the Manifest Destiny to your location! You open up your friend menu once again and hit the call for Judicature.

RI-

“What happened!?” She says. “Were you killed!?”

“No, no. False alarm, I suppose? Doesn't matter. My brother is still off in the middle of the desert, though, so pick him up and bring him back here, I suppose.”

“Oh...” She seems a bit depressed. “Okay.”

“Something the matter?”

“Well, I just thought, you know, I'd gather up everyone and save the day, but now I'm going to need to tell everyone that we're... not... saving the day.”

“I'm sure you'll do fine explaining to everyone.”

“I... may have said somethings to some people that I shouldn't have to get them on the ship...”

“Like what?”

“Like... I'd...do terrible things to them?”

You can't help but laugh at trying to imagine Judi of all people act so aggressively. You can only conclude with the mental image of a nervous Judicature saying, Get into the ship or I'll do something terrible! If you don't mind. Please. I'm sorry.”

“What's so funny!?” She complains.

“You.”

“Oh.” You can tell from her voice she is already embarrassed.

“Just explain that I'm the fuck up and I'm sure they'll be fine.”

“Okay...”

“I'll see you back at the inn when this is all over, okay?”

“Okay.”

You hang up with a click.

“YOU!” You hear behind you.

You turn to see that elf assassin, Watershed. “Me!” You respond.

Oooooh, even if its not bound, would the flavor text kick in? Its no one because it keeps getting passed around? Its not one then, and there would be no name since its not a person?

I thought we already worked that one out, one of the NPCs was called Outis.

You let go of the sword. “Uh, yeah. Be more careful next time.” The people seem to stop bowing to you, and instead start bowing to assassin.

He looks about the growing crowd and puts the sword into his bag. The people instantly look away and continue about their business. You and the elf share an awkward glance before going back to looking at the Landers.

You comment, “That was weird.”

“Yeah.” He responds. “So, my sword works like in the description, then?”

“Huh? What did it say in the description?”

“That people think you're a king or something when you have it.” He pauses, “Didn't you read the stats?”

“I just saw it was level 90 and Artifact tier, I didn't need to know anything else.”

“True enough.”

“So, you gonna equip that thing?”

“Hm? Oh! Right!” He pulls the sword from his bag and holds it in his hand. He pulls on the handle to unsheathe it, but the blade does not move.

You are very confused until you look up to his name plate.

Watershed

He screams, “Are you fucking kidding me!?”

“Wow.” Is all you can respond with.

“This is bullshit!” He shouts.

“Yeah... I'm glad I found out what that did before I became curious about it.” You ponder: It would probably be an even more powerful fuel source that coals or hydra breath. You look up to the star water strung throughout the town like street lights. No one seems to be especially concerned about their presence, so they are most likely not flammable. What is it about being consumed that causes such a violent reaction?

“You used me as a Guinea pig?”

“In all honesty, I didn't expect anyone to be dumb enough to drink water that came from space.”

He pauses for a while. “Touche.”

“So.” You continue the conversation, “Ever think about joining a guild?” You point to the <1st Panzer Division> floating above your head.

“Oh. Uh. No. No thank you.” He responds, “That's not my style. I prefer being more mercenary.”

“Ah. Well, so be it.”

“I...” The conversation seems to have gotten a bit awkward. “Look, I owe you one. I you ever need a favor, I got you, but... Look, I need to get this thing to the bank before the same thing happens again. After than I need to get back to leveling, so I gotta go.”

“Oh, yeah, that's fine.” You are not quite sure how to leave an awkward conversation like this, so you just turn around and walk away without saying another word.

After you are a distance away, you look up to the night sky and think, What should you do next?

No. I was simply distracted, and the scene is dragging on a bit.

You open up your friend list and scroll down to Canis. It had been a long time since you talked to your best friend. You've not drunk to your friendship for a whole week! What blasphemy is this!? You need to get a drink before you call him.

You close your friend menu and head into the tavern. From the door you shout out, “Put a shot of all your liqueurs into a mug!” The bartender makes for you a horrific concoction of everything. Perhaps it is lucky that none of it has a taste. You plop down some gold, probably more than the concoction is worth, and take the mug in hand.

RING

RING

You see Canis is calling you!

You answer the call, and the first thing you hear is “To friendship!”

“How did you know I had a drink?”

You can hear Canis chugging on the other end before a sudden exhale. “I didn't!” He says, “Also, you're behind one drink.”

“Like hell I am!” You begin chugging your own drink until it was finished. You gasp for breathe and slam the mug on the bar counter. “God damn I missed that!”

“Another drink, please.” He says to presumably a bartender.

“Yeah, me too!” You say to your bartender, who is quite confused. “I mean... Another, please!”

The bartender hands you another boozestrocity.

You both say, “To all the drinks to friendship we missed!”

The two of you down another drink.

“Another!” The two of you shout.

“So, where are you?” You ask.

“We're in Brotherhood and- Did you know they have sports teams here!? Some guys were playing football! We need to start a football team!”

“Fuck yeah! We'll drive tanks! Tank-football! Tankball!”

“Would that even be legal?”

“What are they going to do? Arrest us? We're in tanks! They can't do shit! Tankball for life!”

“Yeah! Tankball! The ultimate train-wreck sport!”

“And we're not even drunk yet!”

“I know, right!?”

“Oh.” You pick up another much of monstrous booze, “So how are you and Aideen doing?”

>>39436288
“Uh, we're doin' good! She has a kid she has to look after now, so there's that.”

“Where'd she get a kid?”

“It's...” He suddenly starts whispering, “It's Oberon's son. He's also named Oberon, apparently. Seeomg as his dad's dead, I guess that makes him King Oberon now.”

“Oh. Oh wow. That's gonna be a thing.”

“Yeah. She doesn't even want me mentioning it to anyone. It's kinda a secret thing right now.”

“Huh.” You whisper back, “So you're looking after, King Oberon II?”

“The 13th, actually, but they just call him King Oberon.” He whispers back, “Apparently this thing is pretty common, but that's not the weird part. The weird part is that every Oberon has a wife named Mab, and every single time, they lose their wife somehow and go mad. Like, every time. Apparently the third or fourth Oberon realized there was a pattern and started trying to figure out how to stop it, but he couldn't. It was around the 10th Oberon that they just stopped telling them about the curse. One apparently got super into Adventurers to see if he could somehow steal Adventurer...hood from an adventurer to bring his wife back.”

“Huh.” There is an awkward silence. “To adventurerhood!”

The two of you drink once more.

“So,” He begins, “How are you and Judi doing?”

“We're good! We're in Pueblo right now. We're going around the Frontier right now. We'll meet you when we come back up north from Dixie. Then we can all head to Big Apple to meet Zachery's perverted guildmaster.”

“Hot!” He says, “But is Judi okay with that? Unless she IS okay with that, because then I feel like you're winning at life.”

“No, no, it's nothing like that. She's his girlfriend.”

“Oh! So how do you know she's perverted?”

“Because she offered to make it like that.”

“Oh. OH! Oh wow. Wait. Does that mean Zachery is winning at life?”

You instinctively shake your head, “No, no. Zachery actually DIDN'T like that.”

>>39436311
“Ooooh....” He lets out a small sigh, “That's not going to be for them”

“You think so?”

“You gotta make sure that kinda stuff is compatible or else everything ends up wrong. Sure, you say to yourself, I don't need buttstuff, I'm totally good without it. But that just makes you want it more! Then next thing you know the two of you are yelling about shit that doesn't even matter just because you're just high strung because you want the butt stuff. It's science, man. Trust me, I studied this shit.”

“I'm not sure if that constitutes science.”

“It constitutes something CLOSE to science. And that something is buttstuff. The holiest of things that are like science.”

You grab another filled mug of booze. “To buttstuff!”

The two of you imbibe once more.

END SESSION

Sorry for a pretty short session. It's been too long. Next week, though, things will be much better.

Remember that we love you TinyShep. Please don't leave us again. But we'll still be here anyways if you do.

It's great to see that Log Horizon Quest is back.

>>39436557
I have no intention of leaving again.

You're making me cry tears of joy.

Don't cry. Now is not the time for tears.

It is the time for paranoia

I guess we really did find No one. But what are the walls?

>>39434187
>>39434211
there seems to be something missing between these two posts, how did we go from him not being able to unsheathe the sword to talking about star water?

Also, welcome back Shep.

>>39437575
He used to be lvl 90, then he drank the starwater and went down a level.
