And there came a day unlike any other... When Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat...On that day, they became... The Avengers!Greetings, True Believers! And welcome back to Avengers Quest!This is but one of many realities where the group known as The Avengers is formed... But definitely not the one you might be familiar with. The team's fate, and perhaps the entire world's fate, depend on your collective choices!This is a quest where you will give commands to a character, but with multiple player characters: You can ONLY select commands for ONE character in your post until the next QM post, which is a new "turn".Nobody "owns" any of the player characters, anybody can play them until the next "turn", but always only one per post. You can change your decision before the QM post if you change your mind. You can give commands to any of the available characters even if someone else has as long as you remember to choose only one. Ties are simply decided by what I think would be most interesting so try to avoid them.Make sure to write which character you are choosing for in your post.There are also collective votes, those will be pointed out as such when they happen.Last time, the adventure ended on a deathly cliffhanger as THE AVENGERS fiercely fought Arch-villain and sworn enemy of the Black Panther clan, the madman KLAW, to the finish! Foiling his scheme to sell vibranium and destroy Wakanda in the process, yet as his mountain-base collapsed, the newest Black Panther, Shuri, stays behind to battle til the end!"Your evil ends now Klaw! I will make sure of it!""Foolish girl! Even if my legacy dies, so will everything you love! Observe!Charging one last attack to blow both of them up, it seems tragedy is about to strike as the group of America's heroes exhaustedly run away for their lives, Moon Knight shoots his trusty grappling hook at Klaw, grabbing onto his Sonic Device!

Sorry to end things with a whimper rather than a bang but I have let some more time pass and I still have absolutely 0 motivation to do anything whatsoever much less write for thisHere's some extra pixel art of characters I made for this but never got to introduce, on retrospective doing things beforehand was kinda stupid but at least you can look at them now. I am open to questions and whatnot I guess, toothanks to everyone who participated, I am just too burnt out for all I had planned but I hope it was fun while it lasted

Welcome back.Rules are simple: Votes are tallied every hour, with whatever course of action being the most popular being the course of action taken. Write ins are encouraged and non-mutually exclusive votes will be combined if possible.When a roll is called for, roll however many D100 are specified. 5- is a 'crit fail' and generally means something bad is about to happen. 95+ is a 'crit success' and generally means something good just happened. a 'crit success' trumps a crit fail. User input on both will be taken into consideration.Once per thread, if three or more people invoke it, a single roll may be re-rolled.Inventory, pokemon stats and other links: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15i2N08IpWqitoTJujsUMishe4PLbao1lqT-bCAmvPcE/editDiscord: https://discord.gg/pR7q5EvfFor a short summary for the new and to recap:You are Alex.

The age of ice has passed, and the great beasts and monsters roam the land. Humanity is a flicker in the darkness, a handful of souls huddled together for warmth and safety. Your people are one such flicker. You have traveled far, through lands of biting wind and clinging mud, seeking a new home. Now, you stand at the edge of a new life, and the story of your tribe is about to be written.But first, you must remember who you are. What is the story you tell your children around the fire?[ ] The Survivors: "Our world was once a mountain of fire that spewed black rock and ash. We are the few who escaped its wrath, finding refuge in this new, green valley. We are cautious, for we know how quickly the world can turn to ruin."Starting Population: 3 (1 Hunter, 1 Gatherer, 1 Shaman).Unique Trait: Cautious: You are less likely to encounter dangerous world events but have a harder time innovating.[ ] The Exiles: "We were cast out from the great Sun-Tribe for speaking against the elders.

Last time, you watched a very one-sided presidential debate between 3 people. It was almost filthy. You helped by making it more unbalanced. If Yu Yan doesn’t end up at the seat, it’s because the world ended! And that ain’t happening if you have anything to say about it!Either way, debate is over! One firm foot out of the auditorium and you see two of your hobos butting heads! Your OG Hobo against your newest one! It’s a clash between Nariko and Ichie! A true battle of the ages!“What’s up with those two…?” You mutter to yourself in hopes that Scarlet hears you.“When did Nariko change clothes?” Naturally, Scarlet notices details nobody cares about. Your OG Hobo looks like her normal student self, no extravagant super deluxe student council uniform anymore…“It’s to hide our identity as presidential candidates. That Koala girl is really good at this costume stuff!” Yu Yan appears next to you in her regular Yu Yanness… As cute as always, you should say. “The drama dudes should hire her.”“Huh?! You too?!” Scarlet gets surprised. “How does that even work? Like, it’s your name on the poster!”“Well, dear Scarlet, do you see any of our brilliant students bug me now?” Yu Yan points out everyone is returning to their classrooms like normal.“Uhm, I guess not…” Scarlet looks around for anyone to notice.Comment too long.

There are few things in this world that you like more than teasing supernatural forces, and this one is no exception, although you don’t *actually* think it’s an entity or entity-adjacent phenomena happening. But you never know. The point is, you’re going to ask for something hyper-specific.“Uhm…” You don’t know how you’re supposed to be channeling this Mysterious Force. Philonune suggests talking normally, as stated in the letter. Your Knowledge facepalms. “I’d like to have the keys for the School’s Swimming Pool, please!”...No response. You look around the lockers, behind the letter, but NOT inside the bag for clues. Nothing. Not even a whisper or a breeze. You’re a polite boy, you’re going to wait a few minutes, it’s not like you have anything better to do.“Hmmf...” Bagna wobbles.But before you can begin to understand what your bag said, a set of keys drops at your feet from above, then you hear some sort of whistle/someone whistling. Could it be? They’re labeled as the keys to the Swimming Pool, but you can’t be certain until you try them out. Feels impossible for them to show up like this in such a short time.Either way, you need to be thankful!“Thanks for the keys, Mysterious Force!” You say with a smile on your face. Err, you think you heard the exact same sound as before, but you aren’t sure.These keys aren’t going to test themselves, you pick your bag, and beeline to the Indoor Swimming Pools...Comment too long.

The date is MAY 15, 1699. The air runs sweet with wine and song. The FLOWER MOON hangs above a cavalcade of marigold dyed ribbons and garland wreathed maypoles, heralding the sowing of seed and coming of harvest. Now is the months-long MIDSUMMER, a time of revelry and festival for the land.[Credit to Herder, QM of Thulzar Quest for the OP!]

You draw your sword from your hip and trace it against the ground."Come along, then." You glance back to the nun and fey. "Do you intend to stay sitting around here all night for the beast to eat us or for the hunters to lodge a bullet in my throat? The only way past this wood is through it.""Oh--uhm, no." The nun clears her throat as she begins to come along after you. "You're right, Avalsidal. Lead the way.""Right.." The fairy hisses something that sounds suspiciously vampire-slur-like under her breath. "I'm right behind you."You lead your grim little troupe into the night, sword at your side and nun at your ass as the forest swallows the three of you whole.

You're an alien. You're a Grey, which also happens to be your name. You crash landed on Earth and unfortunately all of your fellow Greys are dead. But, "luckily" a friendly South American tribe that lives along the Amazon river has found you and is willing to help out! You think, you can't actually understand them. They've brought you before their tribal chieftain and shaman. The Shaman being a man of the world wears a Baseball cap from a time some UN delegation visited him and dropped off a bunch of stupid tat while doing an exploitative photo shoot for a charity drive none of them ever saw a dollar from. You of course don't know this, nor give a shit. Not going to mince any words about your situation. You're well and truly fucked. Think fast and be smart, Otherwise, it's game over. You decide to...>Say hi>Scream threateningly at them>Vaporize somebody with your glowing stick o' pain>Make a universal gesture of peace and love. You stick your finger into the air and pretentiously draw a circle in the air. Much wow, very deep.>Flip one of them off with the universal sign of displeasure. This is a much less flattering gesture. Combining this with vaporization might be a good combo, I dunno.>Do something else. Your ship and all other gear from it is gone, so it's pretty much you and your primary stick o' death and pain. Don't worry, only you can use it and it never runs out of pain juice. However, you can also apply it for non homicidal or sociopath actions. Like for example, performing clean (but simple) surgery. Sort of cutting wood (burning through it). And, making fires.
>>6289493You very cleverly burn a hole into the ground as a FAB dropped literal seconds later and blows the entire village to hell and back. Presumed dead, Delta Force scrubs the area and leaves you alone, out in the jungle. You're now crudely dressed like one of the locals and armed with only futuristic weapon of absolute horror. What do you do? Also, be on the look out for Hillbilly's looking to reenact that scene from Deliverance. It might be South America and on the Amazon, but that doesn't mean you can't get sexually violated by a group of rednecks for no apparent reason.>Continue down the river>Go fishing again>Help the Inca King get medicine for his people...

>>6289860Despite the improbability of this happening. You succeed. Somehow, up until the CURRENT YEAR. A massive, alien worshiping civilization has gone undiscovered along the Amazon river. They bear a suspicious resemblance to a syndicated TV series and Movie called Star Gate, but don't worry about that! You contact the Cuotl for help. They offer you legions of their Aztec themed tribal warriors with not so cleverly disguised alien technology as "magic" weaponry.

Thought it was just for extra work plus smoking for a decade in change catching up untill I coughed up bright green sputem last week. Said "IlvermonyQM", might be time to check with my MD. Lab results came back, X-ray was read and I got a call to come back. I have been dealing with walking pneumonia for probably 2 months. Got meds for it but just did not have the energy to run or play. Doing much better now but it did weird me out. Should be back to a relatively normal scheduel now.Kektus, I will archive your thread after a bit once I catch up.

>>6314303Goddamn QM, don't fucking die. I know (I think) you live in the USA and so that going to the hospital might bankrupt you, but walking around with fucking pneumonia isn't a fucking joke. I had it before (and also just suddenly "discovered" that I had it) and it wasn't anything close to fun, so I hope you take care of yourself and get better.
>>6314323>>6314379Thank you both for the concern.Feeling better now. I will archive yours, Ketus in a second. Check on if our boys have died.Walking pneumonia isn't that bad really. I had an old manager who had it when I was a teen that went undiscovered for several months as well since it normally just sits in one lobe, left in my case, and she was at work nine to five every day. Antibiotics seemed to knocked it out and I have good cough meds, ect.Forgive any grammar or spelling mistakes since codeine and promethazine is good. Will be getting my flu shot as long as they say I am not ill anymore when I see them again Monday though.Got some writing in, but two plates of food and sides now that I have an appetite again sent me into a food coma and left me sleeping on my desk.
Famine came not like a storm loud and sudden but like a slow curse, creeping through the soil, hollowing out the grain, and turning every promise to dust.The land that once fed your ancestors golden fields and stone granaries withered under the weight of hunger. The lords of the old kingdom, bloated and blind, slammed the gates shut and barred the roads. They kept what was left for themselves.You and your kin were cast out peasants deemed unworthy of the last harvest.You wandered, days and nights, until you reached the edge of the known world where no banners fly, where the spirits whisper freely, and where the land is still untamed.Here, you have found a place. Scarred. Wild. Full of danger and full of potential.You must build a home, defend your people, and carve your tribe’s name into the world. The gods watch. The beasts stir. Other tribes already smell blood.Your people have nothing and therefore, everything to gain.Where have you settled?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Rolled 17 + 5 (1d20 + 5)The heat of summer hung over the plateau, but the Grand Vent Forge roared brighter still. Tahlra and her apprentices bent the vents’ fire, channeling the molten breath of the earth into the crucibles. Iron bloomed in the flames, glowing white before being drawn out onto anvils.This season’s work was not for hunters or farmers but for the fishers of Baz Kardan, who had endured with stone and bamboo tools since the first days. Now, the forge gave them weapons for water.Hooks and barbed points were hammered sharp, stronger than obsidian and less brittle, their barbs deep enough to hold the largest lake fish. Harpoon heads were shaped with careful notches, iron teeth designed to pierce scale and bone before being drawn back by tethered line. Knives and gutting blades gleamed, their edges clean and precise, ready to split fish in quick motions without wasting the meat.That evening, the first catch came back heavy: fat silver fish strung along new iron hooks, harpoons lodged deep in prey that once slipped away. Smoke from the cooking fires curled above the crater, mingling with the steam, and the people ate well.Food Increased.
The crafters of Baz Kardan placed the stalks of red bamboo into the Grand Vent Forge’s steam channels, where scalding vapors hissed up from the earth. Normally, the heat would soften bamboo for bending, but under the apprentices’ careful channeling, the steam was focused and controlled until it seeped deep into the fibers.Instead of burning or splitting, the bamboo tightened from within, its hollow cores sealed by pressure, its crimson skin taking on a darker sheen of ember black. When drawn out, the shafts hissed as they cooled, but held fast harder, denser, and more resilient than any bamboo before it.Tests showed its strength: when struck against stone, it did not splinter but rang with a muted chime, like wood tempered into bone. Spears fitted with these shafts had perfect balance, light in the hand yet unyielding in force. Builders marveled that even thin poles resisted warping or cracking.New Material:Steam-Hardened Red BambooLight but strong: retains bamboo’s flexibility but resists breaking.Steam-tempered: resistant to rot, water, and heat.The work began with the first bricks. Clay from the crater’s edge was shaped and fired until it hardened into blocks the color of rust and earth. Each one laid felt heavier than its weight, as though the people were setting down not just stone, but roots.Walls rose from brick foundations, sturdy against wind and time. Steam-hardened red bamboo, dark as blood and strong as ironwood, framed the beams and roofs. Stone from the crater rim was set into hearths and corner-pillars, anchoring each home with the strength of the plateau itself.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

For aeons you have drifted through the stars, unthinking and unaware of the passage of both distances and times incomprehensible. A mineralized shell of petrified chitinous resin indistinguishable to the outside eye as anything other than a drifting rock has sheltered its precious cargo across the gulf of empty space for centuries beyond count. Until now. The vibrations and jostling that rattles your petrified cocoon are distant to you, alien, your mind and memory atrophied alongside your body, reduced to its simplest and most basic components over millennia of hibernation. But they resonate in some buried portion of your genetic instincts. Movement. Life. Biomass.Food. You begin to stir within your shell, your rocky cocoon jostling within the depths of a automated mining tug, the unthinking machine grazing the asteroid field like a gluttonous beast, filling its iron belly with chunks of ore and spaceborne debris mindlessly before it turns and begins its leisurely return. Within its belly, within your prison, you begin to stir, biological processes reawakening, nutrient slime metabolized to feed your body's reawakening. You are lesser, this you know. You once were so much more, so very much more than you are now. You know that you could be so again but first you must feed. You must feed and grow, the only thought the scattered network of ganglions and nerve webs that form your crude consciousness can form. And so as the mining tug vomits forth it's catch in the depths of Mining Bay 17, a single stone in the cascade of pulverized asteroid fragments and ore goes unnoticed. Synthetic intelligences catalogue it as waste material, due for discard but that is all. The single set of rganic eyes in the mining bay are currently fixed on a holo-projection of "Zero-G Jugs" and so miss the strangely shaped and strangely shivering rock that patters across the rusted floors.The cocoons rocky surface splits with a wet *crack* a dark slime oozing out slowly, gelatinous pseudopods feeling at the air experimentally.You hunger...Comment too long.

>>6289288Well, quest is dead so it doesn't matter at this point.I will say, however, that apex predators always go up in energy state, not down. Being a badass extremophile that can never be killed sounds cool and it is is cool, but they get there by being pushed out of every other niche and taking starvation food to its absolute limits. They're basically losers that lost so hard for so long that they became cool again.Being an K-selected Apex predator that kills an entire humpback whale and eats just the tongue is way cooler. Mammals and birds have 1000x the energy requirements of a cold blooded creature but then they use that energy to be faster than anything else and colonize arctic and tundra biomes that nothing else can.I'd rather be a high energy high risk high reward apex predator than be a durable loser.
Welcome boys and girls, to the third part of Rey's newly busy life. Your new home is quite the place indeed, not exactly welcoming now that you've started to rub your nose into people's business... I do apologize for not being able to post last month; my health wasn't doing so well.For the previous threads, check this archive https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Character%20drivenYou are Rey Vesperus, half-elven daughter to a Cleric of the Path and a lady ranger, apprentice to your mother's trade, and newly adoptive mother? Caretaker? To a strange slimy lifeform. You've recently survived an attack on your home by a wave of undead dogs and one peculiar humanoid entity without being able to learn anything substantial... So you've decided to elucidate the case of Olin Aurora, a ten-year-old boy who died in mysterious circumstances and the son of your first friend, Augustine Aurora.You've learned something quite frightening from the city Bishop, and your search for answers led you into the Mamono village condition, where you've witnessed firsthand the appalling conditions over there; it's one bad day away from a pandemic.

>>6315142>>6315140Always a plan. Maybe he won't remember.
After spending last week seriously considering the future of our quest, I've concluded that I'll need to make significant changes, or perhaps discontinue our little tale, because I feel I've failed to create something truly engaging and interactive. I don't think I've helped you guys enough in shaping this tale and making it your own, and my obsession with keeping a mystery going ended up hurting everything else about the quest and story.We have about 4 more threads to go, I'd say, with one more of leeway depending on the choices made. Do you guys still feel motivated to continue? Personally, I'm a bit diminished in my general drive. I've made plenty of mistakes, and I don't think I've offered choices that are good enough to keep things engaging, and none of the characters seem to have kindled you guys interest. I'll need to make big changes to my original ambition for Old Promise if we choose to continue. My obsession with keeping a slowly unraveling mystery wasn't as compelling as I believed. I wouldn't fault you frens for not being motivated enough to continue.
>>6318763I liked the story enough to follow a 2nd thread, so please give it a try
>>6318763No I think you should continue
I understand the pain of a story not ending all too well. Alright, I'll see about prepping our next thread and see if that'll chase off my gloom. I'm going to make some changes in my priority; I'll put less importance on the mystery slowly peeling away and focus on the characters. Though I think I really need to make a good summary of all the important infos we've learned. I'll work on that for the weekend.
Notice: Before beginning, I haven't written in over a year. Life's been busy and I don't have the time to spend on live.fiction for hours on end. (first time posting a story on qst even tho I lurk on other quests here)Secondly, I will be using chatgpt sparingly, mainly for power creation, item creation, side character creation, event starts, and creature creation.

The air in the divine chamber reeks of vanilla incense and spite. The Goddess Morrigoth leans back on her obsidian throne, her fishnet clad legs crossed as she scrutinizes you with a look of pure disdain."What do you mean you think having multiple girlfriends is 'degenerate'?" she drawls, blowing a plume of smoke from her cigarette.You clear your throat, standing your ground. "It's simple. I'm a one woman man. I don't do harems. And furthermore..." you snicker pointing to her outfit, "Why are you dressed like a slut? I thought you were supposed to be a big time goddess or something right? Did your husband really allow you out of the house looking like that?"A vein pulses in her forehead as she slightly grits her teeth. Theres a palpable tension in the air. She glances at the stack of papers in her hands... Your entire life summary on paper for her viewing pleasure... She scoffs with contempt at you. "Ah. Now I see. You're one of THOSE types."You smirk. "What type is that sugar-tits? The kind of dude that doesn't simp for BITCHES?" If you insult her, that might keep her on the defensive...She responds smoothly "You're a long way from home and your cute little internet forum posting pepes and wojaks! Making threads about how to 'tradmaxx'... Posting gender war shit! Right wing propaganda? You make me sick!"Fuck... She really does have your whole life in front of her... That ain't good... Still, you can't show weakness! "HEY FUCK YOU, YOU FAGGOT GODDESS!"Morrigoth takes a slow drag, her crimson eyes burning at you. Then, in a flash, she's in your face, her clawed grip wrenching your collar choking the life out of you as you struggle to breathe! "I could scatter your fucking atoms across the cosmos and have each one of them screaming in agony for as long as I want just as a practical joke! But no... I'm gonna give you your fucking Isekai dream, and I'm going to purposely fuck you up at every step of the way!"Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

You are Charlotte Fawkins, Herald and heroine. With the power of your positive spirit, you have overcome deceit, defeat, and divine possession, and now you are going to save the world. First, though, you need to get your stolen Crown back— no matter what obstacles lie in your way. Or boring meetings."You're late, Ms. Fawkins."Lucky is as glad to see you as always. "Am I? Or are you just being—""Don't sweat it. We weren't that far in." Eloise pats the chair next to her. "Lucky likes repeating himself, anyway, so it's like you won't have missed a thing. Actually—" Here she stage-whispers. "—we already knew a lot of it, so—""Mr. Blaine is offering his own insight," Monty says patiently. "It's nice to see you, Charlotte. Sit down, will you?"You were planning on it— have been trying to, actually, but the chairs in the Wind Court meeting room are uncomfortable-looking and, more crucially, don't have holes in the back. You settle on sitting at an angle, so to not crush your tail. "Where's Madrigal? I thought she'd be—""She had other business to attend to. I'll fill her in afterward. Mr. Blaine, could you start over?""It appears I must. Unless we have other visitors I should know about?" (Monty shakes his head.) "Very well. From the beginning. At an unknown point early this morning— most likely between 2 and 4 AM— a barrier sprung up around, roughly speaking, the entirety of the Corcass. This barrier is circular or ovoid, pitch black, several hundred feet high, and unnatural in origin. It is impenetrable to casual testing. The perpetrator of is barrier is no mystery, because identical barriers have been sighted progressively eastward for approximately a month and a half. They are the work of—"Comment too long.

>>6303420>I would've liked one more named-character death for maximum dramawow ok George RR MartinJacques and Roscoe weren't enough for you
>>6303438>Jacques and Roscoe weren't enough for youAnd Fake Ellery and Branwen and Monty... but Fake Ellery doesn't really count :^) All I'll say is that I didn't fudge any rolls: I said at the start of the thread that the fate of the volunteers (and everyone else) wasn't predetermined, and indeed it wasn't.
>>6303335>I know how I feel about the quest coming to an end. How do you feel about it?Tbh I've been a perpetual lurker for years at this point. Been reading through some of the earlier threads just for fun. I think I'm gonna feel very strange, about not seeing that Drowned thumbnail in the catalog anymore. It's honestly as much of a staple here as Saiyan Conquerer or DYB or whatever other long running quests up rn. I'll miss it.
>>6303758>Tbh I've been a perpetual lurker for years at this point.I have lurkers?!...Well, thanks for reading! If you feel like emerging from your hideyhole, next thread will be a good time to do it, particularly if you'd like to weigh in on the Literal End of the Quest (you'll know the vote when you see it). If you're picking away at the archive but wish it was less of a massive brick wall of threads, stay tuned for an announcement coming soon--- it might be of interest to you.> It's honestly as much of a staple here as Saiyan Conquerer or DYB or whatever other long running quests up rn.

No matter how much you tried, and try you did, you had never seen your teacher this serious, this focused and grim. Unless a call from the Greater Spirits came, which they did....not too rarely, but this was a different kind of feeling to her eyes you'd seen when those came. This was like your teacher, wise and learned as you knew her, was preparing for an End. An End that she could see but had spoken nothing of to any of the village or even you for that matter, which absolutely unsettled the Chief of course, as they were, by right, to be told of any impending danger and doom, by the claws of monster or hands of man.Unless this was the work of Spirits.The thought alone gives you a shiver.Spirits, being of incredible power and strange variety, had never caused the village any trouble for so long that the idea of it was a small heresy to even imagine. No spirit sent a message without reason, never came to the village themselves, never even seemed to consider the village as anything but something far out of the way and you had the idea it was because the place was so awfully boring and routine. The way you saw it and how your teacher described, which you thought she was really good at since she told much cooler stories than that old stumbling Storyteller who peeked in on lessons with that scowl on his wrinkly face. You'd never say that out loud of course, but you hung onto your great teacher's every word as she spoke, and a part of you fears how quiet and focused your teacher is. How grim their eyes are and how her usual smile had been thinned to a line of pure concentration. You feared, perhaps, the pact she'd told you of at the begining of your lessons had been broken. Had the Greater Spirits called on your teacher to settle some debt the village had incurred? Has there been a breach in the pact so severe that only her head could satisfy them? Had the Greater Spir---"Child", calls your teacher as she fastened the straps of her old and yet beloved travel pack. The thing has been around the study hanging from a hook for almost as long as you've been her pupil. You almost thought with how it was always there that it might be her first pupil but as silly as it is, it was always there as she taught you her lessons of communication with spirits and important rituals. "I need you to visit with the Elders, especially the Chief. I've written a good few things on a letter they must be given, a good few things they must know, how to do them, and the why of the matter. I need you to hand it to them and then go to the workshop, gather the Skygem before going inside, and then lock the door behind you. Do not open it for anything. Do not open it even if the chief himself comes slamming on it and ordering you to."
