Welcome to “A Cold Common Quest” This is lighthearted somewhat wacky short (hopefully) adventure in a little more advanced (but not really) medieval fantasy-esque world. You, the player, will dictate the actions and decisions of our main character and his chances of success rely on your character’s abilities and if it makes some sense in context. Have Fun!

Discord: discord.gg/WzuFu8D (If you’re into that, not really important)

You’re Wilge, a young 17 years old man with no real aspirations or abilities. You grew up under the strict rule of your master/mother figure/whatever in seclusion, who for all accounts was a great witch who didn’t teach you a thing because you were a boy. Also you were just an errand boy to her and you spent more of your time cleaning her mess in the house. Sadly, your master died after 2 weeks of fighting a mysterious illness, she vanished with your home and your stuff in the process, magic works in mysterious ways.

Before dying she gave you a mysterious letter with instructions inside and told you to wait for someone of trust to come, everything will make sense in time. Old people are confusing.

And that leaves us to the current situation; you’re in the same place your home used to be waiting for whoever is coming, it’s in the deeps of a forest and is slowly snowing.

What do you do to pass the time?

You open the envelope and start reading your master’s letter.

“Wilge.

If you’re reading this it means I’m dead and this letter isn’t magical like everything else I had. I’ll go directly to the point, Remember that time I told I won’t teach you magic and you were all disappointed and all that fun stuff? Well, I’ve some good news! I was the last one of the witches of nature… or was it grass?... or forest magic?... is that even a thing? Anyway I was in dire need to continue the legacy of my clan, and none of my potential apprentices really pass the test of finding my home, so guess who’s going to get magic powers?! You!

The Instructions are on the back of the letter. Wait for Glen to start your new life with magic! And don’t go anywhere you dumb ugly impatient kid or else I’m coming to haunt your dreams, I’m a witch, you know I can and I will.

Full of regrets.

Xena.

PS: I hope your clothes didn’t disappear.”

The instructions talk about going to an older tree not too far from here. But this mysterious Glen’s assistance seems to be required.

As you put back the letter, you heard someone screaming for help. It’s close from where you are.

What do you do?

>Be a good boy and keep waiting, you don’t want nightmares.
>Go to the source of the scream and assess the situation.

You yell shut up.

“BUT I’M IN THE DANGER!” A squeaky female voice answers you back.

“NO, SHE’S NOT!” Another voice yells back.

You know there is danger out there now. You quickly build a snow wall, you called your snow fort. It’s truly a magnificent structure, Impenetrable… You have a plan b now. But a small part of you thinks it’s best to get moving to the source.

From afar you see a… thing, you cannot describe correctly, but it’s like an snowman, like a tiny head and a big body… also there is two of what appear to be thugs are trying to do something to… it.

“C’mon give us money, we’re the good guys!”

“I don’t have any money! Please! Mercy!” The female voice you heard before comes out of the strange creature; she’s not having a good time.

“It’s for the greater good!” The other one replies.

It seems they are trying to steal money from her. This is not good!

What do you do?

>Ask what’s happening.
>Tell them to stop that.
>Make a snowball and let it fall through the hill you’re on; hopefully it will become massive and crush one of them if you aim right.

From your position you ask what’s happening.

“We’re asking for donations for our good cause!”

“We’re the heroes of this land!... But even heroes need a salary”

“Heroes of what?! You’re just trying to mug me!”

“Have we even attempt to do that?! We’re a just asking nicely!”

“But I said I don’t have any money and you two aren’t listening to a word I say! Please help me!”

You ask them to stop.

“It’s for the greater good!” The one who doesn’t look tough says again, they are confusing.

Finally you ask for them for 30 % of their earnings or else…

“Or else what?! what are YOU going to do?!” The tougher of the two looks at your direction as he finishes, only to found out your plan is underway, you let slide one snowball in hopes to become massive and hit one of them.

But sometimes plans don’t work the way they are intended. The snowball becomes massive and strikes the three them alike. They roll inside the giant snowball and they hit a tree that ultimately stops their movement. Everyone is unconscious on the floor. You probably killed them…

Oh-oh… Well, ehm… You can’t be so sure if you don’t check on them…

What do you do?

Time to loot! Then leave for good. A good pay for a good deed.

You go down the hill without any obstacles, and you check on them. They seem to be fine for the most part so no burying is needed, just little bits of bloods in zones where they shouldn’t be, you’re kind of worried if you leave them like this something bad could happen to them… aside from losing this sweet money. From the bandits you steal their bag with money, just 5 silver pieces… That’s… sad… It’s not like you have so much money to look down on this.

You try to search on the girl… but she’s layers and layers of clothes! They seem to be infinite! You can’t find anything on her; maybe you should just examine her bag…

“Uh…” That’s the girl slowly waking up! You have been found! “What are you doing?...”

She doesn’t seem to come up on her senses. It’s a great opportunity for you to run…

What do you do?

>Run with the money.
>Run with the Money and her bag.

“Looting”

“W-what?!”

“No, seriously, I was trying to check if you were hurt”

“They why are you stripping me?!”

“To check your heartbeats…” You tried to sound flirty… somehow. Of course you failed, maybe next time you'll have better luck.

“Oh… Uhm…” She doesn’t look completely convinced, maybe your “help” made her wary of you and she’s completely oblivious to your seduction attempt. “I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt just because I just met you.”

She puts her clothes back on and starts spinning on the floor like a turtle trying to get on their feet. She eventually does.

“Are they alive?” She stares at the bandits.

“Yes, they are. Just a bit sleepy.” You presume.

“Oh good, I did not want them to get really hurt. I just wanted them to stop bugging me! Is everyone on this place like that?”

“I don’t know.”

“You’re not from here either?”

“Something like that… Is your name Glen?”

“No! I’m girl! Why would my name be Glen? I’m Yoolie, nice to meet you” She tries to go for a handshake but her curl ball status doesn’t let her. You reach her hand but you only felt her plushy glove. She’s like a teddy bear.

“Since we’re asking weird questions, do you happen to know about a person called Xena? I came from a distant land where is not as cold as here and I need to talk to her, private matters.”

That’s your master’s name…

“If you tell me I’ll forgive your for attempting to murder me.” Her eyes are shinning.

What do you do?

“She went Puff along all of her things”

“E-excuse me?”

“She’s dead.” You start leaving.

“Nononono! That’s not good enough! Explain yourself! Please!” She’s almost begging.

“She died and all her magical stuff went away. Thankfully these clothes she gave me aren’t magical.”

“Wait! You knew her?! How?” She’s following you. “You’re going in the exact direction I was going! Maybe we could help each other.”

“I don’t care! Sorry! Magic won’t solve your problem and you will have to live and die with your shame!”

“Uh?! Uh?!... What are you talking about?! Shame, me?!” She looks at her body. “Do I look ugly? Did I do something wrong? Is this insulting to you? Please answer me!” She sounds even sadder all of the sudden.

“I’m busy, sorry!” You start going faster; you’re having troubles handling this.

“Wait! It’s not about that! Please! Wait for me! Friend! Wait!” She’s trying to keep your pace.

“There is something I need to—” But she ends up tripping; her face is completely buried in the snow… You start hearing her crying.

You help Yoolie getting up.

“Sorry” She whips away her tears. You said to her you need to be in another place right now and it’s important.

“I understand… But, can I follow you? You’re my biggest lead for the thing I need to do here, don’t worry, you don’t have to wait for me, I’ll trail behind you as fast as I can.”

“No.”

“I’ll do it anyway!” She gets pissy. You just scoundrel your next attempt at seducing! You need to find a better situation to get her!

You rapidly leave her behind after she got up. You’re back at your fort. No one seems to have arrived, you write on the snow fort “No girls allowed”…

“Kid, behind you.” A weird deep voice comes from your back. “Hehehe, good job out there.”

A mysterious pale man in weird clothing appears; he’s rather lanky looking and probably hasn’t slept well in months.

“I’m Glen. Nice to meet you.” He does a small bow. You bow back while saying your name.

“So that’s your name!” From afar you hear Yoolie, she got good ears.

“Sorry kid, I arrived early but when I heard her scream I wanted to see how you dealt with her.” He’s playing with a card on his hands. “Guess you’re rather unorthodox… I guess that’s good for grass user.”

While he’s talking to you, you made a snow friend for Yoolie for when she arrives.

“A snowman?” Glen looks interested.

You explain your plan.

“There is no way she would fell for that. Anyway, I heard poor Xena died. So you’re going to be her heir. Am I right?”

“I guess, at least that’s what the letter says.”

“It’s not like her wishes matter much now that she’s dead. I’ll quickly explain myself to make this short. My job in this world is to maintain balance, and if we don’t have someone with the grass ability, well our world can go bonkers. So kid, are you ready to take the test to become a Grass Magician?”

Grass Magician sounds totally lame, but magic is magic.

Are you?

“Is it grass “grass”?”

“Wait what?”

“I don’t want just to control grass…”

“No, it’s like the whole nature and plants type of stuff…”

“But why is it called grass?”

“I don’t know”

“Can I be a plant magician?”

“Of course, why not? You’re the only heir of this power, called whatever you want.”

“Then, yeh, let’s go!”

“Excellent, let’s do this, follow me to the dumb tree of life or whatever is called.”

“Wait!” it’s Yoolie… “That snowman can’t fool me for long enough!”

“How it did even fooled you?! It doesn’t move!” Glen is confused.

“There is no time to explain! I want to do the test too! I came from very far to become a grass user too.”

“No.”

“Plant or Nature User” You correct her

“W-why?”

“Not my job.”

“But you’re doing it with Wilge!”

“Because this one is my job. You can ask him to train you if you want, but I’m not doing anything else.”

Yoolie gets near you, tries to grab your hands (and fails) and asks.

“Can I be your disciple?”

“You don’t have to answer her.” Glen grabs her by the scarf. “You wait here, while we do the thing. For all I know he could die, maybe then I’ll try to take you there too, okay?” You gulp.

“O-okay… Good luck, Wilge!”

You don’t like where this is going.

Glen asks you to follow him. You do so, to the ancient Tree of the forest, in your way, Glen says to you.

“Don’t worry, you’re not going to die… probably.” That doesn’t help. “Okay, here we are. Now let me read the instructions”

You hand him the letter.

“Okay, I’ll stand here, do some magic stuff then a portal will appear, you enter the portal and your test will start.” He starts doing a weird chant an a portal appears just like he said. “Good luck, kid.”

You enter the magical realm of… grass?... Plants?... whatever…

“I’m the magical goddess of nature, I’m here to lend you the whole power of the most powerful and totally rad best elemental power…” Her voice sounds childish, almost too annoying to be a goddess.

“Do you want the power to conquer and destroy anything in your path, or the good kind that will help flourish this world out of this cold state? Please pick a door.”

Two doors appear in front of you, with a very clear message in both of them.

“PS: You’ll still need to learn how to use it, so don’t think you’ll get out of here as a god or something.”

Well… that’s okay…

You start leaning to the door of Creation… but it pisses you off that you can’t go to both, you ask the goddess if you could.

“No.”

“Why?”

“’Cause that would be overpowered.”

“But the truth of nature is creation and destruction in balance.”

“Yeah, but that would strong as hell.”

“Aren’t you a goddess, can’t you do both?”

“Of course I can! It’s just not right!”

“Does something bad happen if I pick the wrong door?”

“Yes! Something bad happens if you pick the wrong one! This is a test!”

“So what door did Master Xena pick?”

“She picked Destruction, but it’s different for everyone! Depends on your heart and soul!”

“If I stay here for an eternity does it means that I picked both?”

“No, it means you’re waiting for an eternity, just pick a door.”

“But both power sound sweet.”

“Okay! You get both if you guess right. Now pick a door, you nerd!”

You go through the door of Creation.

“See, it wasn’t hard.” As you enter you see the figure of the goddess of Nature and the source of your new abilities.

“Hello. Mere mortal, I’m the Goddess of Nature! My name is Physisrhea! I’ll bestow to you the power of… nature… yeez, it’s been a long time since I gave my magic to normal people, what happened, is nature not popular anymore in the world of magic? At least people still use my cute hairstyle, right?”

“There are not a lot magic users anymore and grass kind of sucks in comparison to Fire, Ice and Wind. And No.”

“How dare you? I’m kidding, I like your attitude. I know the future of my Element is in good hands… Now I’m only going to ask you for one thing, takes this world out of this eternal Ice Age. The Ice Goddness let their people out of control and it pisses me off that we, the great nature users, get to pay for it. I’ll make it clear for you later how to achieve it, but for now, try to get stronger. Good luck, my cutie.”

You woke up outside of the tree.

“See, it wasn’t that bad.” Glen says while looking like complete utter poop, it was a draining task for him, maybe you didn’t need to waste so much time. “It was a bit exhausting, but I’m fine.”

You two went where Yoolie is. Who was patiently waiting with the snowman.

“Are you teasing me when you wrote that girls aren’t allowed, right? I really need to become a Grass User.”

“Nature Magician.”

“Anyway, kids, my task here is done. I’m going home now.” He walks away from you two.

“W-wait! There is so much that needs to be explained!”

“Not really, now the heir of nature magic can guide his people to do what he wants or live in seclusion like his master, it’s not my task to interfere anymore, and this ritual is only to establish a new heir for the power, so girl, you just need to follow this guy to get what you want, anyway… see you guys around.” He vanishes…

“What a mysterious guy…” Yoolie says concerned. “So what are we going to do master?”

“I don’t remember accepting you as my student.”

“Don’t be like that! I know you have so much to teach me.”

“I don’t even know what my powers do…”

“We can find out together!” Yoolie seems happy.

No, she has a pretty "unique" hairstyle. That line of dialogue was just a reference to Shimilia (At some point she was supposed to be Shimilia but I scrapped because I don't want any ties between both worlds), nothing more. I don't know if this is a spoiler or not, but I draw Yoolie without her winter clothes just as evidence.

“Ugh… Okay, you can be my apprentice for now…”

“Really?!”

“Yes, but only if you give me half of your clothes.”

“Huh?! Why?!” She blushes.

“You can barely move like that…”

“B-but it’s so cold here! I’ll freeze!”

“You’ll freeze if you never adapt, so give me.” You help her “undress” there are so many layers of clothes… After the seventh one you stop.

“I-I’m r-ready!” she’s shivering…

“Ehm, I’ll try to make a house like my master did.” You put her clothes on the snow

“S-she m-made h-her h-h-h-home?” She’s barely dealing with this.

“Yeah… That’s why it disappeared.”

You close your eyes and concentrate to create something really cool for your new home, in your mind you visualize a great fancy mansion.

“S-something i-is happening!” Yoolie exclaims while you try to keep you cool. You feel the earth moving around you, like it’s trembling…

“M-master I-it w-worked!”

You open your eyes and see you new… home. One of trees has a big hole inside like a cave; at least it has a door somehow.

“T-that’s a nice first attempt!” Yoolie tries to see the bright side. “H-how did you do it?”

“I just thought about it…” Can you even replicate this again?

“M-maybe next time try to do it with your eyes open.” She gets inside “the house”. “C-c’mon! g-get insi—ACHOO!” she will catch a cold… You took her clothes and got inside as well.

Inside looks better, you expected something like a cave, but the whole thing looks like a normal house, it has a wooden floor and everything else is shaped nicely. Yoolie takes out her bag and leaves it on the floor.

“W-what’s next, master?” She’s stretching

“I’ll try to make a fireplace with a chimney” You use your abilities to make it, but ended up making a hole that goes up of tree thing you got here.

“I think you’re only deforming this tree.”

“What do you mean?”

“Like, you’re just changing it, you’re not materializing anything like your master did… I think.”

“Then Yoolie, your first task as my apprentice is to make this place look… habitable.”

“H-how?”

“Just give it a home feeling…”

“I’ll try!” Yoolie goes for her bag and takes an axe out of it. How in the world that thing fit in there? Then She goes out of the house. After a couple of minutes Yoolie is back with some tree trunks and branches.

“You’re lucky I’m a very skilled person!” It seems she’s getting used to the climate. She starts assembling furniture with the best of her abilities. While she’s doing it, you ask about her.

“Hehe, I knew you were curious.”

“Of course I’m curious, you came here out of nowhere…”

“... Well, I came from a family of very skilled wizards!” She says with pride. “And my parents wanted me and my siblings to learn elemental magic, and since we’re four of us… we had to choose one… I ended up with grass, I don’t know how much you know about this master, but magic is not a thing in the world anymore. Only we, people of high intellect, are the ones who keep perpetuating it.” She made a big bed with some of the wood she collected; she’s starting to make a table.

“Wait if none of you knew elemental magic, what kind of magic does your parents know?”

“The regular kind”

“Regular kind?”

“Like magic missiles! Invisibility! Those kind of stuff!” You don’t really get it. “D-don’t stare at me like that! I’m not crazy!”

“So, that’s kind of my thing, I’m here to learn Grass magic.”

“Nature Magic”

“That! So I can come back home and bring back the lost knowledge for elemental magic to my parents’ school.”

“You didn’t mention that your parents have a school”

“Uh… Sorry, I’m bad at telling stories… So I got here to learn from your master, I was about to pass her test! But then those thugs kind of ruined for me. Oh, did I tell you my parents’ school of magic is the last one in the world?! And it’s the biggest too!”

“No you didn’t.”

“Now you know!” She cheerfully smiles. She made a table now. “I don’t want to be mean or pushy or bossy… But could you get us something to eat? I’m going to keep working on these, don’t worry. But I don’t have any more rations with me and you talk about how everything you got went puff! So I don’t think we got any food.”

She’s right, also you could go to the town and search for any magic book that can help you learn more about your abilities quicker.

“I’ll see what I can get…”

You left the “house”. It stopped snowing and is still morning…

You hope with the powers of Nature you’ll easily find food! While working only based on your feelings is never a good idea, today is the exception since you’re just getting used to this. You get near one of the trees around you and touch it, then with patience and determination you think about getting your food… slowly everything around that tree starts moving… like assembling himself to be something completely different, you’re playing with a power you have not yet understand, but somehow, it kind of worked, a bunch of fruit gathers around you moved by the roots and branches of the trees, like some type of offering around you… You ended up deforming a bunch of the trees, and you don’t know how to turn them back to what they looked before.

Well you got what you wanted…

“There he is!”

You heard someone yelling, you turn around a bit and see the two thugs from before.

“So, you playing games with us, huh?”

“You like beating the good guys you scoundrel?”

“You think your actions don’t have consequences?”

“We only wanted more funds for our organization of peace!”

“And you almost kill us with your snowball trick!”

“You’re going to pay for this!”

“By giving us the food!”

They both are cracking their knuckles. How in the world they found you? You’re close to your home, but you don’t really want them to know where you live.

What do you do?

“Who are you people?” you said it with no tact at all.

“We’re the defenders of peace! We’re the innovators of magic! We’re disciples of Master Reihan, the greatest hero in the world!”

“We’re best wizards in the world! We’re the Heroic Fist Elemental Magicians!”

“The what Element?”

“Fist”

“Like you guys punch stuff?”

“Y-yeah…”

“That’s not magic.”

“You outdated part of the past! This is a NEW era!”

“And we’re part of it!”

“And you’re not!”

“Okay, that’s enough… Eat Nature, Bitches!”

You used your new found ability to modify the trees to move the roots and trap both members of the Heroic Fist Elemental Magicians (HFEM).

“This is bullshit!”

“We can’t move!”

“So what does the Fist magic can do in this situation?”

“I DON’T KNOW!” The girl one starts crying.

“HELP! HELP! HELP!” The other exclaims in terror.

“Clearly your magic has failed you. Follow me and become my disciples and you can learn actual magic or else…”

“O-Or else what?...” The guy asks.

“I’ll encase you in bark for a while and make you guys pretend to be trees.”

“Uhm…” Girl doubts.

“Well, sign me up Master!”

“Oswald, what the hell?!”

“Don’t call me that! Remember, it’s “OZ”!”

“I’ll call you whatever the hell I want you when you’re acting this dumb!”

“I don’t want to be encased into a tree!”

“Don’t you have any morals?!”

“We were mugging a fat girl! What the hell are you talking about?!”

“We were collecting funds! Remember everything the Boss did for us!”

“For you maybe! He didn’t do jack shit for me!”

“C’mon Oswald!”

“Shut up, Ursula!”

“It’s “UZ”!”

“Are you guys done?” You ask them both.

“Ehm…” UZS has doubts.

“C’mon master! Let me out!” Slowly you put OZ in the ground. “Uff, thanks for that! C’mon Ursula we need to start a new life.”

“You’re dealing with this very easily!”

“Yo, who cares? We only wanted to survive in this damn world! Maybe we could have a real purpose now.”

“There is no point in surviving without our boss! I refuse!!” She refused your offer.

“Well, say hello to your new ho—“ While slowly moving her into the tree, she yells.
“NOOOOO! I ACCEPT! Please…” She’s crying.

“Don’t do it master, she’s just scared, she’ll bite you when she gets out…” OZ is being a homie.

“You idiot!” Her expression changes! She’s probably lying.

“One more chance before you say good bye to sunlight, c’mon we have all the fruit you can eat.” You hear her stomach growling. “I know you want it.”

“No…” She’s embarrassed.

“Also, what morals you guys have? Your boss is a bandit!” You argue.

“No! He’s not! He’s pure! A champion of justice!”

“He made you mug people! For money!” You reply

“Y-you don’t understand!”

“Yes, I do, he used you for his own benefit.”

You encase the top of her head in bark so it looks like she’s wearing a helmet.

“C’mon, free helmets! I’ll be a good teacher”

“Eugh…” Her stomach grumbles again.

“C’mon *nom* you want food *nom* we haven’t eaten in days!” OZ is eating a bunch of the fruits you collected.

“E-eat with your mouth shut!”

“Real last chance, I’ll be a good teacher, I promise.” You look directly to her eyes, after a second she evades your eye contact.

“O-okay…” no malice comes out of her voice. You let her out in front of you and give her a fruit.

“Bon Appetite!”

“T-thanks.” She starts eating the pear you gave her, she looks embarrassed.

To be completely honest, none of the people that have joined you so far (Including Yoolie) are loyal to you. So keep that in mind.

So what do you do with your new apprentices? (You can do whatever you want with them).

You wonder if you should test them if they are worthy…

“Do you have a home we can freeload in?”

“Our headquarters is where we live, but I doubt they let your live there without making the oath to the Heroic Fist Elemental Magicians (HFEM)”

“Oswald! You aren’t supposed to tell him!”

“Oh, sorry! Wait, no, he’s our boss now! Where is your loyalty at? And it’s OZ!”

“Ngh…”

You should test them 100%.

“You don’t seem very loyal to me…” You interject

“You can distrust UZ, but you can trust me 100%!” Oz is tired of playing games with his partner.

“…”

“Then this is going to be formality for you. I’m going to test you guys.”

You make grow 2 bushes. You’re getting used to this.

“You see these bushes.” Both of them nod. “I want you to cut them into the shape of a fist.”

“Pfff… that’s easy! That’s one of the test we had to make when we joined the HFEM!” UZ says proudly.

“I barely pass that test…” OZ murmurs.

After a couple of minutes and with your help, they transform those bushes into fists.

“Now I want you guys to burn them while saying “Fist mages suck! Plants rule!””

“W-what?!” UZ is concerned.

“Fist mages suck! Plants Rule!” OZ did it almost immediately; you wonder how he started the fire.

“Dude! The hell are you doing?!”

“Just turn the page already! Sheesh, you’re so melodramatic! That’s why everyone at the base called you a crybaby!” OZ winks at you, he’s lying.

“T-they did?” She looks heartbroken.

“Seriously, why do you think I’m the only one pairing with you? You were the only one who bought all the bullshit our ex-Boss says. Everyone else did it for the money!”

“B-but… w-we need to save the wor—”

“Just burn the bush.” He hands her a torch.

“… fist mages suck… Plants RULE!!” poor UZ, she was tricked.

The fire intensifies in front of you three, OZ as a sign of renouncing his old way of life burns his team’s poncho… UZ does the same. Maybe you can trust them now. As the bushes continue to burn into ashes you reveal to them the last step to join you.

“Well, this is not everything you guys need to do. You have to apologize to Yoolie.”

“Who’s Yoolie?” OZ asks.

“The girl you tried to mug, she’s my apprentice too.”

Both of them gasp.

“We’re sorry!”

“Yes, He’s right! We didn’t mean to!”

“Apologize to her, not me.”

“Yes!” Both of them exclaim at unison.

You guide your new apprentices to your “home”, both of them are carrying the fruit you collected before.

“Yoolie, I’m back with the food and—“

“We’re sorry!” OZ says to Yoolie.

“So Sorry!” UZ says to Yoolie too.

“W-what?!” Yoolie is confused.

You explain the situation to her.

“Just don’t do that to anyone else ever again and I’m happy!” Yoolie says to the ex-thugs, who quickly nod in agreement. She doesn’t seem to mind at all about what happened before, maybe she was too stressed out before.

“I think that’s settle. Ehem, your first order as my apprentices is to help Yoolie to make the tree livable!”

“Roger that!” Both of them start helping Yoolie…

They somehow are managing to make the place to look comfortable. Still lacks important things like… beds, cookware… you get it. Maybe you should get to the town and get some stuff, but it will be very unwise if you ask everyone to leave with you as they are working to make this place even better.

“We need to get some stuff from town, UZ you come with me, Yoolie you’re in charge until I’m back and keep an eye on OZ.”

“Yessir!” Yoolie exclaims happily.

“Why me?”

“I have to make my least loyal member…. Loyal-er! So follow me.”

“Wait, before you guys go…” Yoolie interrupts you two and hands everyone one piece of the clothing she was shielding herself with before.

“So you don’t get cold!”

“Thanks!” OZ says while hugging himself in his new piece of clothing.

“...thanks.” UZ is confused but wears it anyway.

You put the sweater he gave on the table, and say you’re not chilly yet, but you thank her anyway.

“O-okay.” She didn’t know how to respond.

“C’mon let’s get going.” You say to your new pupil.

You and UZ left the tree together, you are not sure what the plan is when you get there since you only have like 5 silver pieces, but you will manage somehow to get what you want. In your way to the town that you have visited like 3 times you tried to start a conversation with UZ.

“So what’s your deal?”

“Like… what I want to do in life?”

“Yeah…”

“I just wanted to do good deeds, I was saved by my boss of my street life and he showed me the good path… Hey, you know about Raforstead? The town?”

“Don’t change the subject.”

“No, it’s important”

“How so?”

“You know how weird that town got…”

“Not really.”

“You don’t?! Well you’re in for a surprise… Anyway, the closer we get, we gonna get face to face with one of my br— ex-allies, that town got evil and they are protecting the perimeter. We have to battle townsfolk every day, stuff is nasty.”

“Why?”

“Uhm.. uh… oh… I don’t know… But it’s for a good cause I swear!”

From afar you see a barricade; the symbol of the Fist Magicians is on it.

“We can trespass it to get to town even though we— I mean, my ex-buddies are guarding, it’s not like people don’t pass the dumb wall every day anyway. I know a small opening, we often use it to buy things in Raforstead.”

UZ is not joking around; it seems there is something weird about this whole place.

(I was busy doing the drawing to notice the vote swing, I’m sorry.)

“…I need some answers, where is the control tower?”

“No, you don’t! At least not right now! This is the best time to trespass”

“Why?”

“It just is! I never question these kinds of things! Okay?” She’s visibly uncomfortable, like you’re breaking everything she stands for.

“You never ask questions? Do you just blindly follow orders?”

“I-I do not blindly follow anyone! I have my reasons!”

“Like what?”

“I want to help people and save the world!”

“Okay, Then tell me what’s your ex-boss’ plan to do it.”

“His plan is to save the world!”

“No, that’s the objective! How he plans to achieve it?”

“I don’t know!” She’s shaking.

“Did he brainwash you or something?”

“Just follow me please…” She starts to scratch her head in pain. UZ is not enjoying this conversation at all.

“I’ll put it on hold for now, but we’re going to the control tower later.”

“…”

You leave at rest and follow her.

“… We have to go through that hole” There is a big hole in the wall behind a tree, almost like they though the tree was part of the defense.

“Ladies first.”

“…” She gets inside, you trail back. “Let’s go, the town is ahead.”

To your surprise the whole town doesn’t look like anything bad or weird happened here, the only unsettling thing here is a big tower in the middle.

“M-m-master…” She blushes and hides her face under the coat she’s wearing. “We’re do we go first? We can’t carry a lot of things and we need to get out of here quickly if you don’t want to pass the night here.”

“"Master", uh? Nice to see some loyalty coming from you.”

“I-I mean, you trusted me with the whole shortcut thing, someone else could have thought it was some kind of trap… s-so is the least I can do… But don’t get used to it! I still don’t trust you”

“You don’t trust your master?...” She stare daggers at you “Okay, okay… I think we should get…”

“I think we need a beds, cushions, pillows, and cookware. Stuff like that. We need to make our new home better, and then we will search for supplies for the month.”

“Our home?...”

“What? You want to sleep outside?”

“No…”

“Then let’s get going.”

“Okay…”

“Where do we buy stuff?”

“In that store, don’t worry; I’ll take care of it. But first I need to go somewhere else!” She quickly runs away, you try to follow her, but she’s too fast.

You go inside the general store in the meantime. Inside looks like an average place, nothing too big or fancy, but you’re only searching for supplies.

Since the endless cold weather started, people have develop new forms of maintaining food around here, usually they sell it for packs that last like a month per person, the few Ice Mages in the land are the ones responsible of doing this, of course this is secret to masses (you don’t really know why), they are not expensive, but the taste can vary depending if you’re lucky or not. Well, that’s information that Master Xena told you when her grim days started and she was “worry” about you. Its 5 silver pieces for a pack of supplies inside, the owner didn’t seem so thrilled about doing business with you. You wonder why.

After consulting the prices, you decided it was best if you wait for UZ outside. UZ appears with a pillows and cookware; the pillows are inside the biggest pot she’s carrying.

“Where did you get that?”

“Home…”

“You went to the base?”

“No, my normal home… I just took it; I know my mom doesn’t mind. She has tons of these stuffs laying around and I took the old ones.” She doesn’t seem to be lying.

“I guess that’s good.” You take it from her hands. “Don’t worry I’ll carry it, about the supplies, its 5 Silver Pieces for a month of supplies per person, I think we should—“

“Give me the money I’ll bargain with the shopkeeper.” She extends her hand. You point to your pocket. She takes the money from you. “Are these…”

“I was...”
She smiles. “You don’t have to explain, In fact… forget it, I’ll get back soon!”

You wonder what that was about.

She gets inside the shop, after 5 minutes, you see UZ running with 3 boxes on hand! The Shopkeeper is running after her. Without thinking through, you run after her too. Eventually, both of you outrun the man and get to a safe spot.

“Did you steal that?”

“Something like that, it’s more like retribution. That shopkeeper is not a good guy; he has always been an asshole to everyone! Always selling cheaper to the bad guys, upping the price for the townsfolk, and he knows he’s the only one receiving the monthly supplies here since he always uses his thugs to beat down every other cargo that gets here.”

She starts to get uncomfortable when you stare at her like you’re doing, even though you're not looking mad or anything.

“C’mon, it’s not like you have high morals Mas— Ehm…” She stops mid-sentence. “I mean, you stole my and OZ’s money, what’s so different in comparison? At least the shopkeeper deserve it...”

She got you there.

What do you do?

You’re not really into the moral debate if stealing is right or not, but you don’t want her behavior to get worse, so you told her that’s is all good, but you don’t want her to keep doing it as this is only an exception.

“O-okay, I don’t enjoy doing bad things anyway, unless they have wronged me first.”

“I mean… have you confirmed these rumors about him?”

“Like, duh, why do you think no one helped him?” Good point.

That’s good enough for you.

“Let’s go home, it’s getting late.”

“Yeah, we have to hurry! We can’t leave after nightfall.” She’s somehow content with the resolution you two came with.

You two start moving, while running you spot weird people in extravagant outfits…

“Who are those?” You ask while running/jogging.

“Those are the bad guys, don’t stare at them, you don’t want to gather their attention.”

“You have so much explaining to do when we get back. This whole place is iffy.”

“I will.”

You and UZ are in front of the great fist wall (?), the sun is starting to set.

“Tch… They started patrolling now.” UZ bites her nails.

“Keep going!”

“Okay!” She gets through the hole. You follow her. At the other side, both of you are spotted by an Fist Magician.

“Yo, what the hell UZ? where is your poncho?”

“Ehm… Uh…”

“And who’s this guy?”

“He’s… uhm…”

“Did you anything to her?!”

“Yeah, I attached her with plants until she agreed to be my minion.”

“I thought I was your disciple…”

“Details.”

“Are you playing games with me boy? Because I’m bad at them!”

“No, I’m not.”

He turns his attention to UZ again.

“You skank! You betray—!“ You hit him with one branch you keep enlarging from afar, he falls on the hole you made while he wasn’t looking; then you close it and plant a tree helmet on his head.

“HELP!!” You ended up knocking him with a punch left him unconscious.

“Thanks for making time.” You say to UZ.

“I don’t like being a minion.”

“Let it go, it was only a joke.”

“O-okay, master…” she’s still embarrassed.

Sadly for you, this whole thing caused a small ruckus in the fort, you’re not exactly surrounded by Fist Magicians, but with the stuff you’re carrying, you’re going to have a hard time dealing with them.

“So UZ, you a traitor?!” One of the Fist Magician asks.

“I…”

“SHUT UP!” He yells. “Everybody you know what to do with Traitors!”

Everyone around starts calling UZ names. Poor girl is having a hard time dealing with this.

“I knew I shouldn’t have betrayed you…” She says while tears pour down of her face.

“BUGS, SHUT IT! A REAL HERO IS GOING TO TALK!” An intimidating voice comes from the crowd of thugs. “Hehe, Hi bugs”

“Boss?!” UZ didn’t even hesitate to call him that.

“Of course it’s me! Dummy! The Great Reihan is HERE!! I see we will have to postpone our attack for tomorrow since we have to deal with this.”

“Boss, I—“

“SHUT IT! Didn’t you hear me before?! A hero is speaking! Have some respect! Well, what do you know about respect, you traitor?” He keeps belittling her. You tell him to tune it down.
“Ohohoho, you have guts, insect. So tell me who are ya?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“Not very heroic, I see… Real heroes tell their names upfront. I’m Reihan, boss of the Fist Magicians and Hero of the land! Don’t worry apart from an insult here and there I’m not going to hurt you or Ursula.”

“What do you want from us?”

“What I want? I want you two to join me of course, we the Fist Magicians are here to save the world and the more the merrier! Of course, all the credit goes to the one leading this thing, me! Because I’m Glorious! Hahahaha. What do you say? Goes for both! Heroes give second chances! But no third is going to be allowed…”

You can tell he’s evil as fuck. Like there is no other way to say it, just look at him! His eyes are all black and stuff! What do you do?

>”No, if you excuse us.”
>”Dude, you’re like evil incarnate. I’m not going to join your thing.”
>”Fist Magic is not real magic, so no.”
>”I need to know more about what you’re trying to accomplish to decide.”
>”It’s not like you’re going to take a “no” for an answer.”
>”Yeah, why not?”
>Write In.

“… You’ll have to explain your plan more in detail to me to even consider.”

“Minions aren’t supposed to know much. Leave it to the real hero.”

“Then I’ll have to decline, I couldn’t ever work with someone so dishonest…”

“Excuse me? Heroes don’t lie!”

“Hero? You? You look so stereotypically evil it isn’t even funny!” Every Fist Magician bar the leader gasp.

“QUIET EVERYONE!” Now he looks pissed. “Could you please repeat what you just said?”

“Why? You heard me loud and clear. Also Fist Magic is not real magic.”

“…”

You go pass him and say “Go punch a tree into existence, then maybe we’ll talk. C’mon UZ, we’re leaving.”

“O-okay…” She follows you.

“Wait, kiddo.” He grabs your shoulder. “You have guts and I can respect that. But you need some schooling.” He cracks his knuckles.

“The power of the Fist magicians comes from one’s soul and in the depths of your consciousness. Channel your SWOLENESS and then… BAM!!”

He punches the air and small projectile comes out. Like a ball of pure energy, it isn’t impressive at all as a technique and his damage is questionable as it barely affected the snow that it made contact with. It was so pathetic you don’t even want to try to use the wooden helmet to incapacitate him…

“It’s a new era… and our magic is very real, my magic is very real! The magic of Reihan the savior of the masses! Don’t forget it! Now get the fuck out before I use you and the traitor for a squatting session.” You struck a nerve… He doesn’t seem in the mood to fight you. You don’t know how anyone can take him seriously after what you just witness.

What do you do?

>”Whatever this whole thing is, it’s dangerous and stops now. C’mon I’ll fight you one-on-one.” (Boss Fight!)
>”Your magic really sucks, bye.”
>Leave with UZ in silence, you have stuff to do.
>Write In.
>>
>>958916
We have found followers of Ilin it seems. They look like heretics though. SWOLE is not for bullying.

>”Your magic really sucks, bye.”
>Prepare to, if he does anything, grow a tree right under him and leave him hanging up there
>>
>>958916
>Write In.
Put a constipated look on your face and make a bunch of plants take the form of a big angry person behind you to make it look like you have a swole stand. If it needs to look kinda hazy (I don't remember) use pollen to obscure it a bit (and aggrevate people's allergies).
But don't fight him, just flaunt it and walk away.
>>
>>958941
Those losers probably don't even know what a stand is.
>>
>>958916
Oh man, he's an evil Ilin.
>”Whatever this whole thing is, it’s dangerous and stops now. C’mon I’ll fight you one-on-one.”
>Cover ourselves in bark and wrap barbed vines around our knuckles.
>Add some Poison Ivy to our bark armour so he'll get rashes if he touches us.
>>
>>958944
Why bother making plant armour when we can just attack him with plants without going anywhere near him?
>>
>>958953
Then he'd bitch we never fought him in close combat. We need to completely break his spirit.
>>
>>958916
>”Whatever this whole thing is, it’s dangerous and stops now. C’mon I’ll fight you one-on-one.” (Boss Fight!)
They taint the SWOLE with their evil.
PURGE THEM NOW.

Boss fight let's go

“… Your magic really sucks, bye.” You and UZ left the are—

“WAIT!” Reihan yells at you. “You’re a really annoying insect, you know? You like stroking nerves and shit talk! These bad vibes are… not good at all! You took away our dumb skank and then you disrespect us. That doesn’t fly here. No, no! There is no way in hell you’ll join the Fist Magicians with that bratty attitude and your backstabbing tendencies.” While he’s talking you began creating a tree under him, it’s not big, but it can grow if necessary.

“I’ll leave you with a warning; don’t interfere with my plans, okay? That town is going to be saved they like it or not! But I don’t want Ill will between us, and as a sign of goodwill, we will let you in if you want, okay?”

“But why boss? Just crush this big mouthed idiot!”

“QUIET BUG, I’m not in the mood to fuck with Grass Magicians now.” He stomps on the tree you were making. “I’m no joke kiddo. Have a nice trip.”

“L-let’s go please.” UZ whispers to you. She still cares about them and doesn’t want them to get their asses beat.

“No… you know what. These whole Fist Mage shit has no place here. C’mon, whatever your name was, fight me…”

“I-I just let you go! This is unnecessary!”

“Heroes don’t back down.” You proceed to armor yourself with wood.

“Gang, quick! Smokescreen time!” As soon as he says that most Fist Magicians drop some smokescreen bombs to the floor. “Sorry kiddo! Fight Smart! Not hard! I need to know the potential of your powers! See you later! Cough* cough*”

“Boss, we told you not to talk while we are in the smoke…”

“SHU— cough*”

Somehow they all disappeared… UZ grabs you by the clothes and pleads you to leave.

In your way to your base, UZ started to talk.

“T-thanks for not going after them and crushing them… I know now what the true difference between real magic is and whatever my ex-boss has. They got no chance against you.”

“You’re right.” You said with confidence. “But why you care about them? They called you a skank and bullied you.”

“…It’s… my final thanks for what they did for me, but from now on… they can go to hell for all I care!” UZ says with confidence. “I’ll do real good with real magic! I’ll really save the town from those bastards!”

You feel her loyalty growing for you. That’s good… I guess. But there is a lot unanswered as the lack of information about what’s going on doesn’t let you understand the situation as a whole. To be honest, do you even care about what’s happening?

You’re back at the home. It really does look like a home now! And… oh god, poor OZ looks like a nerd now. They both welcome you and help you both put the new stuff in its place.

“Hahahaha! What happened to you?!” UZ just noticed and laughs at OZ.

“S-shut up!”

“I cut his hair and made him a nice outfit! He looks super dope!” Yoolie says cheerfully. “Now it’s your turn, Ursula.”

“W-wait!!!” Yoolie grabs UZ and gets her behind a curtain. You can hear her cutting her hair.

“Do I really look that dumb, master?”

“Yes.”

“… I thought you were the encouraging type of teacher…”

“I’m new at this.”

“… Are you—?”

“I’m not going to apologize.”

“O-okay…”

I guess you can talk with OZ… In the next Session of A Cold Common Quest!... What a shit ending for a thread! But that's all we got! Thanks for playing!
