You stand before a pair of sharp, bluegreen eyes, penetrating the dark of the forest. A cold, slightly damp hand rests on your neck, sending a shiver down your back. All around you are the shimmering yellow eyes of the wolves, silently watching you. Just behind you, resting on a bed of flowers in a heap is Mona, stable but unconscious.

"What do you say little bird? Want to learn to fly?"

The wolves begin growling in unison, low and unsettling. The voice with accompanies the eyes, slightly higher pitched than you'd expect, cackles.

"This is m home, little bird. You're te invader. I suggest you settle down, or my boys and I will have to set you straight."

As he speaks, you feel his hand wandering down your shoulder to your bicep, causing you to recoil slightly.

"I just wanted to see what all the commotion was. We heard a loud kaboom, and looking and behold, the Rangers are thrown around like grass in the wind. Without them around, we rule the forest again. We can do what we want, when we want. I figure, since you're usually with them, but now you're running away, it was you that eneed those pompous, green jerks. I should thank you. How's about you follow us back to our den, and we keep you warm for the night eh?"

Try to negotiate if he doesn't back down, tell him if what we did was such a good thing for them he should consider just letting us go as a "thank you". And does he not consider that if the entire ranger corps (something that he was struggling against) was eliminated that it'd be best not to fuck with the people who did it?


Do we have the Werewolfbusters phone number?

>>43854743
He cackles again. The wolves growl.

"It seems like you don't understand who's in charge here! I'm the king of this forest! Me and my boys are gonna eat, sleep, and play where and when we want, with who or what we want, from now on!" His cold hand leaves your arm and grabs your chin. "You and your sleepy friend there are our's now, just like everything else. You're gonna cook and clean, and do other boring stuff or we'll eat you! I've done it!"

The wolves begin barking together, creating a cacophony of sound. The voice laughs in the dark.

>>43854880
But then who will keep my bullshit in check?

>>43854873
You decide to play along, waiting for an opportune moment. He laughs, and peers around you to see Mona.

"I'll carry her if you like. It's only your first day, wouldn't want you throwing out your back already. After all, you'll need your strength, hehe."

>Allow him to carry Mona. It'll put him at a disadvantage if something happens
>Carry her yourself. He might try something

>Carry her yourself. He might try something
"Don't worry, I need the exercise anyway or I'll get flabby like those old ladies back in the city"

>>43854926
>Carry her yourself. He might try something

>>43854926
Turn around to carry her, then take a dagger out and do a nice slash work

>>43854960
With one last laugh, he turns, and begins moving away. You scoop up Mona, and throw her over your shoulder, following him by sound.

As you walk he whistles an eerie durge, occasionally accompanied by the whimpering of the wolves who are close at heel. You trek through the forest for some time, wordlessly, until coming to the mouth of a cave only just distinguishable in the starlight. He and his enter, and you follow carefully to avoid slipping.

As you feel your way through the cavern, you hear the familiar sound of flint and steel, and smell light smoke. You watch as a small Orange glow grows into a fire, illuminating the cave and revealing your would be kidnapper and his cohorts. The wloves are unremarkable, but the bluegreen eyes that pierced you are know revealed to be set in the skull of a boy, clearly yet to be full grown, with lean muscle all over his sunkissed body and a shock of red hair pulled into a tail. His clothing consists of hide and leather in the form of an open vest lined with fur, hide pants tied with a leather strip, and moccasins. Tucked into his belt is a chipped and worn hatchet, similar to what the Rangers would use in survival kits.

He takes a seat by the fire, and the wolves surround. He motions for you to sit opposite him.

>Sit

That brings me to an important question, what did we take with us? Full ranger survival gear? Just our prisoners' gear?

>>43855130
Full set of clothes, nothing else, and no armor.

>>43855112
>>43855120
You take a seat, setting Mons down beside you. She stirs a bit, but does not wake.

The boy throws a few twigs on the fire to see them catch, and then sighs. He peers at you, right into your eyes, and grins.

"So, little bird, tell me. Why wipe out your own friends? Did they turn on you? Maybe you found out something you didn't like? Or are you just a troublemaker like me?"

"What about you, what did the rangers do to you?"

>>43855250
>"We had a disagreement". Intimidate him

>>43855307
He does seem a bit more wary of you now.

"To me? Nothing. They hunted my boys. Culling, they call it. Thinning them out just for following their instincts. I didn't have any way to challenge them, but I was smart enough to keep my boys safe. Now though, we've got free reign. We can pick this forest clean of meat if we want."

Still if they just hunt everything down there will be no more forest to speak off, and if there are no more prey there are no more predators. It's in his interest that they don't just kill everything, well they can still kill a lot just not - everything - .

>>43855522
He rolls his eyes.

"Please. I'm not an idiot. There are other forests to hunt in. But this one will last well beyond our lifetimes. It stretches across the entire northern continent, though the Rangers only oversaw a swathe of it. Either way, I want to thank you for freeing us. Not by letting you go obviously, you're my prisoner now. But, we're awfully good at fInding things. Name it, and my boys will track down anything you like. If it's in the forest, we can probably get it to you in a day or two."

So how difficult would it be to make a fatal and painful poison the wolves couldn't detect with our training? I hope we can make them regret letting us cook.

>>43855633
The boy turns to two of the wolves and whistles at them. They stand and rush out of the cave. When you turn back to see the boy, he is smiling.

"So! I guess we should do something now. We've never had a prisoner. We usually eat what we catch. Hm." He turns to one of the wolves. "What do people do with prisoners? Whip them? Make them do funny tricks?"

The wolf tilts it's head as if to respond with uncertainty.

>"You should tie us up."

You tell him Mona needs to be looked after. He shrugs but agrees.

You turn to her and begin examining her. As before, you detect not external injuries. Her flesh seems warmer than usual, and the longer you look at her face the harder it is to look away, even though you're confident it is unchanged. Her breathing is normal, but she does seem to be mumbling in her sleep.

You find a few leaves to pile into a pillow and wrap Mona's coat tightly before putting it up. It will be a cold night, but you'll have to make do.

When you turn back to the boy, he is peering pensively through you. He seems tired, and nostalgic.

what's his name?
What's he thinking about?

>>43856246
>>43856231
This.
Possibly add if he knows Russel

>>43856246
He looks at you directly, and shrugs.

"I was remembering my mom. I only knew her a little. I barely remember her face. She used to curl up with me when we slept. My brothers and sisters too. But they're all gone now. It's not like I even knew what she was really like, I just miss the way she would nuzzle me and sing to us." He stares into the fire for a while, silent. You break the tension by asking his name.

"Me? Russel. Son of Russef. Son of Russan. That's what mom said. My dad died before I was even born. Monks hunted him down, I think. Dunno why. Well, that's not true, I know why. I just don't know... nevermind. I'm tired."

Russel turns and flops over on top of one of the wolves who whines a bit. Others come and form a loose pile with Russel near the center. They close their eyes and begin drifting off.

You lie down beside Mona, hoping to both protect her and share warmth. It isn't long before you drift off. You dream of a river.

Sunlight hits your face the next morning. You sit up, and see that the cave is empty, and the fire long burnt out. You are hungry and thirsty.

>>43856640
You stand and dude yourself off. Exiting the cave, the warm sunlight trickling through the trees is soothing, and allows you to get your bearings much more easily than last night. It isn't long before you realize there are at least four wolves following you either. They seem to pose no threat, so you attempt to dismiss them.

Eventually you find Mona's Trail. It seems to lead randomly through the forest, until eventually you spot her sitting in a bed of flowers beneath a crooked tree. You approach her, and she looks up at you with apathetic eyes.

"Hey. I guess you woke up. That kid said he was gonna get food."

Mona shrugs.

"I'm fine I guess. Got all my limbs. Kinda sore. Hungry."

You ask if she recalls last night.

"Yeah. I got caught, and they locked us up. They were gonna kill us. I came up with a plan, then it goes black. I assume I passed out. But on the bright side, I can do this now."

With a simple wave of her hand, Mona causes every flower in a large radius to bloom at once, then wither and die.

"That's something I suppose."

>"How did you do that?"
>"Mona, that was dark."
>"I'm just glad you woke up."

>>43857005
>"I'm just glad you woke up."

>>43857007
That she sacrificed a part of her humanity/soul, probably emotions, or her ability to feel joy/love, something along those lines. The "my love is all I have to give" bit before the manabomb was what made me think that.

>>43857154
Probably emotions yeah

>>43857050
>>43857066
Mona looks at you with cold eyes.

"Love. Sounds sappy, but it worked. Unfortunately, becoming a fully fledged which isn't as easy as that. I lost a lot more than I thought. I've been sitting in this dumb field for a while. I used to like flowers a lot. Now? Nothing. All I can seem to think about is being hungry, tired, cold, stuff like that. I guess when I cashed in, it took away all my passion. Now I don't even really know why I gave it up for you at all. Powers are nice though."

She waves her hand again, and the withered flowers begin to burn blue, then blow out as if a breeze rolled past.

Does she feel boredom and pleasure still?

>>43857255
"Dunno. I'm alive. I can do real magic now. Being a witch is different from being a sorcerer. They can't conjure things for their own benefit. Me? I can kill a squirrel with a thought, but it wouldn't even effect me, so why do it? I guess since I have nobody else to stay with, I have to tag along. I'll probably be useful though. Or not. Whatever."

Mona stares at the burnt blossoms as a small bird sets down on her head. It pecks at her, and she merely winces and sighs.

>Shoo the bird and hug Mona
>Leave her and find Russel
>Ask something

>>43857305
I'll add that she doesn't feel any passion. I won't split hairs, but suffice to say she is unable to feel anything akin to excitement

But can she still feel physical pleasure?
Like "yep being warm is better than cold" or "good food is still better than bad food"?

She has her instincts. Survival and companionship. But she can't feel sad when someone dies, or happy when they're with her, or angry when someone does something to harm her.

>>43857440
I see.

>>43857333
>Shoo the bird and hug Mona

Shit man, I don't want best girl to be apathetic all the time.

You hug tighter.

"You're hurting me."

You ask Mona who or what she gave her sacrifice to.

"I dunno really. I guess a demon? I'd have to look up which one, but either way it's not like I can just ask for them back. Besides, my eyes don't itch from crying now. I'll probably never cry again. Hm."

Your hugs seem meaningless to her. They still mean something to you, perhaps.

So, how would you guys run a game based on R2RQ?
My vote's a 1 player session using FATE.

>>43857786
You hug Mona a while longer, to no avail. When your arms are finally tired, you escort her back to the cave. There, Russel is using a small knife to carve a boar.

"Welcome back slaves. I eat first, because I'm dominant, but you two still have to cook."

Mona sighs. She looks at her hands to see the bit of dirt on them, then shrugs.

>>43857922
I think it's possible to run with a party as long as they all start more or less close by. You can run their formative years (say one goes to be a ranger, the other decides to be an inquisitor, and another chooses to make a witch) in the first session and after that they actually form a party.
Could use a modified Savage Worlds too.

>>43857923
>cook and eat

>>43858021
I was thinking more in regard to how the quest in r2rq is usually rather personal to the central characters, and waifuing. I suppose you could also have the others be the other characters like maurice, russ anna etc.

>>43857933
>>43857933
>>43857953
You challenge Russel. The wolves perk up and begun growling, but he stops them wit a whistle.

"It's alright boys. I expected this much. I'll put her on her back before she can swing at me." Russel stands, Wiping the blood from his hands onto his vest. He cracks his knuckles and neck, and gruns, baring dagger sharp canines. His eyes are ice cold and lethal.

Well that's mostly because of the format here (quest), you can run a similar "feel" with more people. I just don't recommend having too many players, ideal would be 1 to 3, the rest should be NPCs.
Important things would be the chargen/formative years too, if you really wanna drive it home with the feel of the quest.

You take a threatening stance. Russell smiles, and suddenly leaps over the boar carcass an fire pit, lunging at you like stag on the chare. His for is crude, but the raw speed and power behind his attack is overwhelming, and you both go tumbling out of the cave.

Russel is upon you like a swarm. He scratches, ripping apart your sleeves as you defend, and leaving painful cuts. Using your training, you pin him, but as you try to get a good grip on him, his body shifts fluidly into the sgape of a wolf, albeit a young one. He dashes away and changes back, wiping saliva from his mouth. He pants heavily.

"This is what I love for! Hunting, fighting, killing! Those are the rules if nature! I didn't tame this pack with kisses, little bird!"

You egg Russel on. You can see his features grow more animalistic. His teeth sharpen, and his nails grow into true claws. His eyes also seem to glow faintly.

He comes at you, and you attempt to counter his wreckless charge with an uppercut, but as he moves his jaw transforms, and your forearm is caught in a set of vice like jaws. You wrestle Russel away, but your right hand is near useless now.

Russel begins slowly circling.

"If only, if only little bird. Give up and lie on your back now, with whatever you pass for a tail between your legs, and I'll let you eat tonight."

Russel comes at you again, and you manage to bring the fight to he ground. The two of you grapple, and eventually you manage to blind Russel using the dripping blood from your arm, and get in a few critical punches to the sternum before he escapes. He stands clutching his side now, but is still a threat.

"Damn it, if you didn't have that blood you'd never stand a chance. Still thiugh, it's nice to have a real fight. Let's finish little bird."

You put Russel in a headlock, and despite all his struggling, the wind is gone from his sails. He slumps over, coughing, and wiping his eyes. Behind you, the wolves begin barking.

Russel gets down on all fours with his head the ground, and his rump raised.

You deny Russel his barbaric ritual. He falls over, defeated. One of the other wolves pads over and attempts to steal your claim, but Russel finds enough strength to kick it in the jaw, sending it scrambling back.

Holy shit guys come on.

You are aware the IP count exists, right guys?

Be less blatant and stupid.

OP should roll a d2 to decide at this point.

>>43859449
Hey, Shep's back!

>>43859344
You take some provisions for the road, as well as wrap your wounds, and bid Russel farewell. He and his pack howl together, seeing you off in ceremony.

You make your way to the south, back toward Dragonfell where you were born. As the north is nothing but wasteland and you need a poultice, civilization is your best bet. The trip lasts to days, and when you emerge frim the thick treeline, you begin heading for the nearest road. Along the way however, you notice something.

There appear to be tracks, heavy boots, creating an organized pattern near the road. They mark a patrol.

Not too much, got a session I'm GMing tomorrow. Still have a cult temple to plan out.

well, looks like the gang's all here.

>>43859530
You follow the tracks for a few hours, until you spot a small camp. Tents are set around the glow of a campfire, each baring the symbol of the church of the heavenly god. From here, you see five tents and four occupants, taking a meal together.

I'm pretty sure they're friendly, I doubt they're going to pull swords on us or anything, especially if we're open.

>>43859559
Yep. Man it's close to two years already, can you believe it?

>>43859556
Good luck with that, mate, hope your session goes well.

Anime is here, 3 posts before your previous vote. His name is stealthy because it starts with an A.

"Can god spare any aid for an injured traveler?"

>>43859621
Yes, yes I can, just as it is easy for me to believe that something isn't butter.

Been a long time since we've all been here. S'nice.

>>43859588
>>Approach silently, without Mona
Half suspecting she'll wander in moments later, not giving a shit.

>>43859636
You and Mona approach together, as travellers. The four, a knight, a cleric, an inquisitor, and a squire, see you and give you the usual rough greeting. Seeing you are unarmed and injured however, they take you in and help get your wounds treated. The cleric, an older man in robes, asks where you obtained such awful scratches.

Jesus, it's been a long time since Brutus has been in a thread. There're definitely a few others we're forgetting though.

>>43859752
I think the rest were all Anonymous.

>>43859715
Didn't Sargeras play a couple of times?

>>43859699

>>43859804
I forgot about that guy. Did we first see him in the third story arc?

>>43859699
>>Wolves

>>43859715
Damn. I'd forgotten about him.
Now I feel like more of an arsehole than usual.

>>43859823
That or the second, not entirely sure.

>>43859716
The cleric tuts.

"Poor thing. We've come to cull the beasts, in fact. Traders have complained of wolves sneaking into their wagons and taking food in the night. If they've actuallu attacked a traveller, all the more reason to cut their numbers. With less competition for food, they'll stick to hunting game."

The squire, a plucky young boy in leather, asks you a bit about yourself, but he is interrupted when footsteps and a commanding voice ring from just outside the camp.

A tall knight, clad in full plate and helm, approaches. Their tabard bears the sign of a First Order Paladin, one of the most skilled fighters and commanders in the kingdom. The knight approaches and extends a hand.

"Well met, my ladies. It is a honor that you bless us with your company."

The inquisitor speaks up, saying it is rude to greet someone masked, and the knight agrees. They remove their helmet, revealing

>A man

>>43859930

>>43859823
There was also a Gewitter, although I know there was another guy with a funky name.

>>43860074
alright guys, I'm out. Try not to destroy Dragonfall while I'm gone.

>>43859989
Another helmet lies beneath the first, this one much more lavish. The knight sets aside the first helm, and begins removing the next, revealing the face of

>A man
>A woman
>A third helmet

>>43860137
>A man
Don't want to wear the gag out.
>>43860120
No promises.

>>43860137

>>43860137

It's helmets all the way down!
Eventually shows up without armour later in the quest. Nobody recognises them.

Starting to wonder here..

>>43860167
This helmet is a bit worn, but clearly sturdy. The knight sets the second helmet down and begins removing the third to reveal

Iunno, a way too many helmets gag strikes me as a Sans thing. I was almost imagining a short slide whistle each time he took one off.

Guardsmen aren't exactly bright.

Sooo... two votes for skeletons, two men, two women, a robot and a blue elf.
This knight is an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a helmet, wrapped in another helmet.

>>43860547
Don't forget the third helmet.

Maybe he opens and it and you can't quite understand what you see. Afterwards you even forget what exactly it was and give vague descriptions like "well it was there"

Eldritch knight?

>>43860547
A genderfluid blue elf with adamantite skeleton and built-in AI. Get to work.

>>43860284
Beneath the helmet is the face of a man, strong with regal features. His hair, sand brown, is carefully combed and swept back. The only blemish visible is a small scar just above his eye.

"I am knight Roland, Paladin if the First Order. A pleasure to meet you both. Please, you must be exhausted. Stay with us to tonight, we insist."

How much longer do you guys wanna go, I feel a good cut coming on

As long as you think will do for you to reach a good end point, Rags.

>>43860699

I'm still good to go for a while now, but if it's getting late there/you want to cut soon, go ahead.

>>Accept
I'm easy. I can go a while yet, but if there's a good stopping point, I won't begrudge you taking it. We can pick up whenever you feel like running next.

>>43860746
You accept, and take supper with the Knights before turning in, taking on of their tents with Mona. The two of you, dead tired, collapse into a bedroom together for lack of spares, and our begin to fade.

Just as you feel consciousness fading, Mona shakes you. You turn to see her face come very close.

"Nothing. Hm. If I ask you to do me a favor, would you?"

>Of course
>Not now
>Depends what it is

>>43860913
>>Depends what it is
Is she trying to feel again?

>>43860913

>>43860913

>>43860940
You pull away from Mona just a little to breath, but agree. She turns onto her side to face you fully, and closes her eyes.

"Kiss me."

She holds totally still, offering her lips as if they were a pen she was loaning away.

You catch on quickly, and come up with a game plan. Mona was your first kiss, and so going back again doesn't seem too daunting, but you're still a bit nervous to perform.

You close you eyes and reach a hand up from beneath the fun blanket to hold her jaw gently. You come in slowly, softly touching your lips to hers, and trying to do what you think you'd enjoy.

You play with her lower lip, run a hand through her hair, and attempt to tease her by pulling away briefly now and again. Mona is unresponsive at first, then counters by wrapping an arm around you and setting her hand in the small of your back. She uses her lips to part yours, and inserts her tongue, until the two of you are gently entangled in each other. You begin to feel a bit strange, but continue, trying to make her respond strongly. You even go so far as to feel her breast, which she seems to enjoy, as she lifts her tunic and places your hand on her bare skin. You do everything in your power, using both hands and mouth, all leading up to placing a hand on her inner thigh, but at that moment she pulls away.

"Nothing. Hm. Goodnight."

Mona turns over and says nothing more, leaving you dazed, breathy, and a bit frustrated. You consider tending your own needs, but decide it would only be awkward with Mona beside you, and so you merely get some sleep

>>43861303
Rekd. I kekd.

Go see if Roland's got some to give

That or find Russel's knot
