The cold, crisp air of the surrounding environment chills you to the core. The city looks so different from above, the streetlights appearing like stars from below as you scale the sleek, ebony, dimly lit skyscraper. "Reaper, do you read me? A calm and monotone voice buzzes through your earpiece. You sigh, the effort of scaling the building slowly wearing down even on your trained muscles. Holding the earpiece with a single finger as you hang off the building with your other hand suctioned on you press down on the auditory device."I read you, Crow. This important?" You ask, only managing to mask the exhaustion in your tone very slightly. The voice on the other side tries to stifle a chuckle, "You're nearing the entry point on the 60th floor, systems picking up multiple readings on the floor just above you. Remember.. our client wants this done quietly, you grab the USB from the floor above, get back to the breached entry, get the fuck out, preferably with no unnecessary casualties. You understanding me?" The masculine voice asks. You look up, spotting the cut window still intact with it's frame you race up the remaining little bit of the building you have left. You press your hand against the window and.. CLICKThe window comes out of the frame, your one suctioned hand sticking to it, stopping it from falling to the ground and alerting someone. You slip inside the building from the breached point and take off your climbing gear, placing everything in your black duffle bag hanging off your side. Comment too long.

It’s when I’m contemplating the optimal way of wasting my life away that there’s a knock on my office door.“Come in,” I grumble, threading the slightest bit of power to the sigil on my left pointer. You can never be too cautious.The door swings open, and in steps a woman wearing a sundress with enough color to give me an instant headache. I note she has four arms, four eyes, and skin leaning on a purple hue. Must be some type of Arachne, then, but the specifics of her parentage aren’t exactly my problem. She steps right up to my desk, fearless, and graces me with a smile rife with one too many fangs.I thread just a teensy, tiny bit more power into my defenses. Just in case.“Hullo, mister wizard!” The woman says in a voice a touch shriller than I expected. “My name’s Gina, I saw the papers you placed around town regarding your services, and I wish I could’ve greeted you earlier, oh, but I’ve been so busy the last week. I adore new arrivals, and magic, and–”“Yeah, hello to you too.” I wave a hand to stop her rambling before it splits my poor head open. “You got a magic problem that needs fixing, or…?” I stare up at her.Gina pauses for a moment, brain rebooting - if she even has one - and smiles wider. “Oh, yes, yes indeed I do! You see, there’s been something strange happening! I run a clothing shop down the street, and I’ve been hearing the strangest noises. It’s like something’s scampering around, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t even catch a glimpse of whatever it might be. I’m worried something sinister might be stalking around. Is it possible your magic might be able to sniff out the perpetrator? I can pay!”A rat? Is that what she wants me to deal with; a wizard, formerly of the Star Circle, reduced to dealing with rodents? I briefly wonder what my mentor would think of me now… if they even deigned to think of me at all after the incident.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>AI Overview>Community theater quotes capture the passion, humor, and unique challenges of local stagecraft, focusing on shared human experience, the magic of collaboration, and the joy of live performance, with lines like "The play was a great success, but the audience was a disaster" (often attributed to Oscar Wilde) or "Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art" (Julie Theobald) highlighting the dedication and quirks of the scene. You love these 85IQ simps. You're the new director for the local catlic theater. Ever since you were a kid, I mean, you're still a kid because where you are, you've got to be 65 to be not a kid. But anyways, ever since you were a kid, you've participated in all the theater stuffs every season without fail. Mostly at your same local theater, but also the summer camps and your college degree, and now it's finally happened, you've been chosen to be the new director. Who even are you?>Garry Hermano>Cunty McCuntface>Sophy Artho>Steven Johnguy>Jeff Joo
>>6347129>Garry HermanoThis guy has a good range of experience, and is one of the only two characters with an actual education in directing.
>>6347320>one of the only twoone of the three*
I have nothing to add, except that I'll lurk for now.
It's been almost two weeks, has a decision been made?Yes, it's finally been made. We had alot of things to consider, but we're pretty sure we've made the best decision. The new director will beSophy and Garry.Two directors? Well, not at the same time. But they'll both get to choose and direct individually. Is Steven Johnguy upset?No, of course not, he'll probably get the leads again. Lets announce the decision to everyone.
>>6352080Go on, introduce yourselves."Hello, everyone. If you don't know, I'm Sophy and this is Garry, and we're going to be the new directors! I have lots of ideas of the kinds of scenes you guys want to perform. I want to direct a rape scene, and with your guys' performing, it will be more realistic and engaging. I haven't decided yet if we're going to make a new play or do one that already has one in it, but we're definitely going to do a rape scene. It will probably involve Cunty, but who knows who else! It could be Steven or someone who's lurking that you don't even expect! I'm really looking forward to this year!""Oh dear, I'm Garry, I'm really looking forward to work with you guys. I'm planning on directing things that have already been critically acclaimed and successful that will be a really good experience for everyone. Most of you haven't done book of mormon or wicked, and I think that's a really good place to start, instead of opera or whatever."

>>6356321>>6356420A lot of the damage that Heliopolis had gotten in canon came from the fact the Archangel was pincered by D-Type mobile suits and had to use its weaponry within the colony to defend itself...

(THIS QUEST'S CANON IGNORES THE EXISTENCE OF OTHER M, PRIME 4: BEYOND, AND CERTAIN PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS COMPLETELY)The year is 2XX1. In the wake of the Carrion Wars two years prior, the Galactic Federation has shattered completely. After the Civil War For Human Supremacy, the Galactic Federation was divided in two. The ousted old guard who welcomed aliens among it's ranks and leadership, and the new Federation for a new age. Many sweeping changes have happened as of late, the Federation now has a strict no aliens allowed policy for recruitment, combat, and leadership, the only exceptions being contracted bounty hunters.Just five months ago, our best soldier, Samus Aran, the sole inheritor of the now-extinct Chozo's technology, secrets and power suit betrayed the Federation and went AWOL when assigned to destroy a weapon of mass destruction being built by old guard insurgents along with their leaders. Her power suit has technology and equipment beyond anything we can comprehend, let alone assign to our troops, so this is an unacceptable loss. She must be found, brought to justice for her crimes, and stripped of her Chozo technology and secrets.This is where we are sending out an open invitation on DarkCommNet to FOUR bounty hunters, regardless of species or affiliation, to take on this mission of utmost importance. Your mission; travel to Kriken space, where there are rumors of a bounty hunter with a power suit and technology matching the description of Samus Aran has been taking contracts, many of which involve illicit activities and in some cases, assassination, and making a name for herself as "the hunter". We want her brought in dead or alive, and outside of Kriken Space. In the case of the former, please ensure that her corpse is intact enough to ensure the retrieval of genetic and organ materials. We cannot give you access to military support or formal supplies on your mission to Kriken space, as they are highly territorial, aggressive, and will declare war if Federation involvement is suspected, which we cannot afford with our current resources after the Carrion Wars. We can, however, ensure a handsome reward of nontaxed Galactic Standard Credits, as well as a blanket pardon for any past and future crimes committed.Please fill out the application below if you are of interest:>Name>AgeComment too long.

[[Hello again, I'm alive. I'm having a turbulent day today. I was lucky to be able to continue now, My new neighbor lent me his Wi-Fi. Long story short.]][[Before continuing with the runs, I need to clarify several of the meta posts that were left pending.]]>>6345999[[I understand your concern. Since I met you, I've noticed that you're a guy who tries to explore what's possible and what's not. You have my full support for that. The premise of my world is to give you as close to free will as possible. But with that comes the weight of responsibility and consequences. You can try whatever you want, literally anything you want. You can start an unjustifiable massacre, you can start hunting down characters, simply because you want to. I'm not going to stop that. I'll simply narrate the consequences, but I can't guarantee you'll like them. I won't act in bad faith towards you; I'll just be brutally realistic, it's different. But if I may say so, I'm very proud to have had you as a player, even if you never participate again, I learned valuable things from you. I had to make drastic changes to my machine simply because you were playing intensely on it. That was wonderful. I hope that from now on I can implement even more.]]>>6346025>dice rolling system[[I didn't mention it, but at any point in the game you can request any type of roll as many times as you want, as long as you have a well-founded justification for each one. They will be subject to evaluation, but in practice I am certain that all your requests will be approved.]]>regions and NPCs[[They're already predefined. Biomes, culture, population, but it's all blank. They exist, but they're gradually coming to life through your actions. For example, I already had a prince with a family, kingdom, and location, but that was all. Then someone with my registration "did something" with him, and now he has this mark, and this prince, technically speaking, It belongs intimately to this player. And now, with the context created, I can feed this prince lore without mercy. The people around him now exist within a context created by that player. I currently have a story based on pre-defined goals for this character to follow. This is literally his life's journey. That's what he exists for, after all, his player wanted it that way.]]Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6346026[[I've been thinking a lot about this post. I confess that looking at it now, I needed the time I spent getting here just to reflect on what you said and give you an appropriate response, even if you're not there to read. Out of respect for your disapproval of the superficiality that ChatGPT brings to my words, I will only use Google Translate in this post.]]>about not being able[[The only thing I can't do competently is narrate in English, because I don't know how to speak English. It sounds strange, but I'm at a stage of learning where I can only read and listen, but I can't express myself properly, let alone narrate. The most I can do is narrate and then translate with a translator, but even then it will sound awful. In that respect, there's no way I can even argue against it.]][[I can count on my fingers how many times I've been a gm, but I've lost count of how many times I've played. And every time I play, Especially when I create something new adapted to my system, it stays in my head as a learning experience. So I go on and on, creating entire villages in my head with just one character that I create. One thing I can say with authority is that being a gm is for those who enjoy it, because it's not easy at all. If you are committed to bringing an experience to your players, you will have struggles. I feel the weight when you represent them in your actions, just as it offends me because it's as if I were against it, as if I were a cancer that competes with and tramples those who deserve space. But I have no intention of stopping. What I can do is learn English and try to create 100% personal narrations, using the system to facilitate immersion in the world. Putting an ID into an individual player's head so they can play however they want without worrying about destroying the world or my head is something that ChatGPT provides me with.]][[Know that I understand your premise and that I will use your message to one day actually narrate 100% organically and without a translator, just don't expect that to happen today. Not in this robust and complex system.]]
>>6346263>>6346271[[You know, I wish you'd just been up front about being ESL, I know a lot of anons here are assholes about that but I can understand why it might make you feel insecure or want to rely on ChatGPT. I would still rather bounce, I need to focus on my own quests I'm running anyways, it is hard like you said. You've got my very express permission to use Horatio as an NPC, I hope you do something interesting with him and he becomes a memorable part of your world.]]
>>6346140[[If you change your mind, your adventure will be here.Since, despite your disappointment in me, you've genuinely shown interest and enthusiasm in my work, please tell me, the only thing that bothers you is the fact that I use AI to narrate for me? If not, what else could I be doing to redeem myself?]]>>6346234[[Your work is very good, and I'm interested in going on an adventure that includes you in the world. The problem is that I'm not prepared to deal with other races; it's going to be a tremendous culture shock, even if I establish 100% tolerance between races (which it wouldn't be so interesting in my opinion). I don't want to dismiss anything you've posted; I can imagine a whole world inside your head just waiting to be extracted and used here, but I need your help to understand what you mean by "elf." What is your basic understanding of what an elf is? Where do you draw your inspiration from?]]>>6346419[[Nah, your character has a lot of potential and can do a lot more. I can create NPCs, and you are the soul of Horatio, and as honored as I would be to use you as an NPC, I simply want to see him alive, doing things that go beyond my perspective and control. We just get started. My biggest mistake and disrespect was not creating my own NPCs to bring your journey to life, something I corrected that day but haven't had time to narrate the continuation yet. I studied tribes, the influences of the season on the environment, and I did some simulations just so you wouldn't feel abandoned in a void without existence. Even if you don't come back, you added a lot to my life and I will always be grateful for knowing Horatio.]]
Within the walls of an abandoned café, a scheme begins to form, the take down of one of the most prominent figures of the city’s underworld will soon go underway. Preparations are happening, and you’re at the heart of it. After your short date with Celia concluded, she asked for a favor, to force her biological father to face justice: the head of the mafia, Gianluigi Youhao. You’ll be handsomely repaid for your efforts.The assault team consists of 5 key members: You, Aurora Dewitt, Charlotte ‘Crossbill’ Summers, Celia Youhao (?), and Beanie Hedgehog. Beanie Hedgehog consists of 4 key members: A Beanie Hedgehog doll, Veranica Mouseson, Liu Yeong, and Lydie Zexian all inside a trench coat. During your review of the potential threats, it was revealed that one of the biggest ones is the man you defeated in a Go-Kart race, ‘Titan #1’ Jielun Zexian is Loud Lydie’s brother. Small world.Shortly after a barrage of questions for the Golden Peak Academy Ace (that went unanswered), the second degree sisters returned to get up to speed with what had been discussed.To recap quickly, the three threats discussed so far are: -Former Assembly Member and Current Ka-Shing lackey — Joe Riddle.-Former Assembly Member, Former Prisoner who you liberated during the raid, and Supposed Member of the Youhao Clan — Sasha Langdon.Comment too long.

Grand Zen-Oh, the omni king and ruler of the omniverse has declared there will be a massive tournament to be held in his honor. A grand affair between several universes, each battling it out for the very right to exist. And at the forefront of this grand spectacle will be the Saiyans of Universe 7, who Grand Zen-Oh has grown fond of watching battle. Twenty eight years ago, the Saiyan race were annexed into the PTO as just another race, one of many sent to conquer other worlds. Now, the Saiyans are widely regarded as the strongest warrior race in the entire Seventh Universe, defenders of the PTO led by their strongest, the “Dragon of New Salda” General Karn and his family.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to well over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the best hope for his universe's continued survival. No one warrior can hope to battle eight other universes' strongest fighters alone and hope to prevail, one man's power and skill won't be enough to overcome the looming threat of extermination. But this coming battle will be the ultimate test of how you've lived your life until now, the choices you made not only for yourself, but for the fate of your entire universe.Character sheets and other info: https://controlc.com/46ec566dhttps://pastebin.com/u/GrandDragonQMArchive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Saiyan+Conqueror+QuestHelp fund quest art commissions and get exclusive side stories as well as artwork by joining the patreon for only $1/month at https://www.patreon.com/GrandDragonQMQuest rules are as follows(unless otherwise noted):>30 minute vote times>Pick ONLY ONE option when votingComment too long.

I cant even post because the fucking captcha keeps throwing random shit on the screen that has no consistency for anything! AM I SUPPOSED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE BACKGROUND THAT SHIFTS EVERY TIME, AM I SUPPOSED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIZE OF THE SHIT ON THE IMAGE THAT IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH ONE, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE THOUGHT BEHIND THIS?! I gotta skip this run DG, this shit is fucking infuriating because it makes no damn sense. Make Gookmoot and character so we can murder him slowly with Force lightning.
>>6349271from my experience it's the amount of shapes, how big the shapes are, which shapes have no pairs, if the letters are different colors or if they're mirrored, stuff like that. Pretty sure it doesn't stop bots though, there's probably something they do to the site itself to slip by and start shitposting. Or maybe they just borrow IPs of humans that did enough captchas and start spamming.

Five more ranks to go and who's to say you'll survive long enough to reach the top?If you're going to die here, at least you're going to die at the top.

It's the only life you've known so you might as well get comfortable with it.As for a recap of some notable things that happened recently?You accidently stumbled across Liz getting herself involved in office politics. While you don't care about getting yourself entangled in them, you decided to keep an eye on Liz to make sure she won't do something she'll regret.You also learnt that one of your coworkers, Ashton, is an aberrant cannibalistic human called a 'Harvester'.

I suggest against buying favoritism. I really don't like the whole "ARC fabricates some good information about us" to impress companies.

Miles of highway condense together in your head as you watch the yellow lines pass under you. You hated long drives, especially with passengers that don’t appreciate your music taste. You reached into the console and pulled out your pack of cigarettes with the lighter inside. You put the last cigarette in your mouth and tried to light it but with no success. “Almost got it,” you whispered to no one in particular. You kept steering with one hand as you grabbed the lighter and lit it, letting the smoke escape out the slightly cracked window. You were almost coordinated enough to use your telekinesis to smoke. To your right sleeping in the passenger seat was your resident telepath, Denise. Sprawled out in both seats behind you was the precog, Cassandra. That’s how you knew it would be an uninteresting trip, based on how relaxed she looks. It was just going to be a routine mission, a snatch and grab. You didn’t care for the details of who you were kidnapping, you only knew he was a natural psychic. He must have been caught in the act of using it, intentionally or not. About one percent of the population are born with a certain organ attached to their brain stem known as the Sigmata. Most who have it won’t even realize they are mutants with its effect being so weak. The powerlifter who unknowingly channels telekinesis into his muscles to help with his lift or the charismatic celebrity who everyone loves for no particular reason, both examples of natural born psychics that are harmless. They can still far outperform any non-mutant but have modest achievements and don’t break the veil of secrecy. On the other hand there are some psychics who have to be controlled, the pyromaniac who realizes if he focuses enough he can start a flame with his mind or the dictator who could compel people to commit genocide with his voice alone. To make these people disappear is the job of the secret government organization known as the Department of Psychic Studies.
>>6347911>Destroy DPS's extraction systems and let the alien scan my intent freely to prove that we will limit and not abuse our powers
>>6347911>Agree. Humans are too violent and dangerous. Strip psychic power away from us, we cannot use it responsibly.
You had an idea, you projected it,“Intent.”Intent was the key, psychic powers could be used for good and not violence. You would use them to save the world. The alien seemed to dismiss you,“Insufficient.”It wasn’t good enough for the alien. One human’s intent wasn’t a promise for humanity. The massive alien turned around, ready to fly away. You had one more try.“Love.”The alien turned around and cocked its head,“Incomplete.”It didn’t understand. So you projected your memories. Denise saving you from the robber, her bandaging your hands, laughing in the restaurant. The alien straightened out like it understood,“Bond.” It was getting there, you projected the fight with Darby, how you did it to protect her. The choice to drop the pillar knowing it might kill you as well knowing it would keep her safe.“Sacrifice.”Yes, it was beginning to understand. Humanity had the ability to self sacrifice for those they loved. Therefore violence was not the end but the means. You tried again,“Love.”You were a psychic soldier, who knew no parents, and were raised for one purpose which was violence. Even you were capable of love, so humanity was capable of being saved. The stars in the alien’s eyes twinkled,Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Eventually the fleet arrived, Roswell projected one last message to you before disappearing forever. Roswell extended his hand and waved it awkwardly, a practiced human behavior but a meaningful gesture nonetheless.“Farewell.”With that he flew upward into the massive starship that sat just out of the atmosphere. They left a signal beacon, so that all psychics could continue to use their powers for good. The ships disappeared from all detection systems, nobody knew where in the universe they went.As you pushed the waist high snow from the outside of the cabin, Dimitri popped his head out the door. “Aiden, you come inside now. Work more later.” Inside Denise and her mom Petra had prepared the reindeer meat into a great Christmas meal. The fireplace burned hot, warming up the whole place nicely. You sat down to eat as you were starving from all the work Dimitri had made you do. You couldn’t help yourself and you dug in. “Aiden, pass salt.”You gripped it with your kinesis, but not quite dexterous enough, you spilled it. Everyone laughed,“Use hands next time.” Petra asked Denise something in Russian you couldn’t understand, she looked to dismiss it. Dimitri didn’t seem to mind translating, “She says when will you marry?”You got taken by surprise, blood rushed into your face, maybe it was too hot in this cabin.“Oh.”Denise was not having it, “Dad!”Comment too long.

I know this was rushed I just can't prove it
You are a CANONICALLY HOMOSEXUAL wizard man. You have an EPIC STAFF and also a WITCH'S BROOMSTICK which feels PRETTY REDUNDANT you think. You were thinking of hitting up a REDBOX to pick up a straight-to-dvd BROOMSPELL which is something like a MOVIE (your broom doubles as a DVD player)But first, what is your name?
>>6343495as a GAY WIZARD myself, I am more fond of STEMcel PhD holders as with that I can JERK OFF more regularly
>>6344034The bonebeast waits patiently as you fire off an email using Wiz.com>GAYRO, I AM ABLE TO COVER THE COSTS, JUST PLEASE HURRY ASAP!! I NEED YOUR MAGIC IMMEDIATELY!!!!That should get the lad out of bed. However, you're not really sure how you can restore his magic. In order to gain a smiting lightstuff constitution one must absorb a DYING WHITE DWARF STAR. Maybe you should search for something more readily available for him to reconstitute with in the mean time?
>>6344847Take the skeleton apart, put the bones in my anus, and start an Onlyfans
>>6345719Yeah start only fans to collect money to purchase a dying white dwarf star
>>6344847Sword? Use the sword? Although sword magic may not be the best against these bonebeasts....
Your name is (name), you are from a small unknown village, in some forest nobody cares about. Your village has a small church where you and your family visit every weekend, your father is a farmer like most people here, wheat's the largest export in this village and what keeps everyone fed when there isn't a drought.You have 2 siblings, your older brother and your older sister, you never really connected with them, and you think they may actually dislike you, you are quite a bit younger than them.Your mother is too weak to farm and so she is the village weaver, she learned how to weave from your late grandmother, your mother has also inherited some books from your grandfather, so you and your siblings are one of the few literate people in the village.When the taxmen come every half-year some merchants also follow them due to the taxmen's guradforce, you like to borrow and read some books from the nice merchants before they leave, you are too poor to afford to buy books, so you are quite grateful that they let you just borrow and read some books, you think it's a novelty to them to encounter a literate villager.Aside from all of that, you are quite a loner, you never really connected with anybody in the village, not even your parents, but you aren't bothered with that, you prefer being alone with your books.You always dreamt of leaving your backwater village, you always thought higher of yourself than most of your peers, that could be a contributing factor to your isolation, but nontheless you held that belief your whole life.When you were a child you already hoped for something better, 'how could no one here aspire for something more?' you've asked yourself time and time again, there had to more to life than farming and praying.You never had the opportunity to leave the village, your father would always shout at you that "It's too dangerous to leave! you'll die out there!", of course you never believed him, but rules are rules, you wouldn't want to incur your father's wrath by going out.Comment too long.

The radiant summer sun shone down upon the verdant sylvan landscape; these fair meadows and groves had an ethereal quality that was, of course, a vestige of the faewild of old. The sight of its remnant had been among the most enchanting things you had ever seen.And yet, you couldn't help escape the burden that was so heavily laden upon your head; the crown may be kept safely in the vaults under the Albrechtsburg, but its weight never quite left your head. It was among the elder days of the 13th century, the year 1275 to be exact. And the kingdom of Greifswald was at peace. Still, as far as realms were concerned, yours was still young, for it had been but thirteen years since the formal proclamation of the kingdom, though in truth, it has existed as a polity since 1241, though only as a dukedom. 34 years of an Adlershorst upon the throne, though the lineage stretched back further; by the standards of the continent, the royal bloodline was virtually new money.Now, in the waning years of the 13th century, the king and court are engaged upon a tour of the northern fiefs, solidifying alliances and ensuring the loyalty of vassals. Yet things are not as they should be; monks travel and do not greet their king, and nobles leave their estates and disappear, only for them to resurface in strange and secretive gatherings. It wasn't rebellion, or at least, it hadn't been able to coalesce into one, but your suspicions were brewing.War you knew; compared to the soldierly simplicity of that life, dealing with the two-faced members of the aristocracy was something you had grown into, but you still perceived the practice with distaste.It is not that you don't enjoy the pleasure of conversation with some wine and roasted pork, but you would prefer it without the threat of walking yourself into a verbal trap, where you would need to extricate yourself with utmost courtesy.All in all, the tour has had mixed results; the count of Hoenstein had provided you with some useful information regarding one Oskar von Schmallhausen and a Hedwig von Merckhayn, though what they were up to is a bit of a puzzle. On the other hand, your visit with the burgrave of Dornheim was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. You said a few things were maybe a tad bit high-handed, he retorted in kind, and you left as soon as you had come, before he would tear up his contract of vassalage to you or do something worse.The matter left a bitter, though perhaps sour, taste in your mouth, and you didn't really feel like continuing this tour, or at least wanted to speed it up for your sake. If anything, the nobles should come to you; if all of them were in Ritterbach, there would be no more of this. But what was started should be seen through...General links of varying importance.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
"You're not really human, now are you?" You took a closer look once more at the amber eyes, the weird teeth, and the strange elongated ears. He had the touch of the fae about him, though less through inheritance and more through mutation. "I was born a man, but I was lost one day; trying to find a way to overthrow you, I was nearly killed, but then a black wolf found my scent…" You connected the dots, so Narmamorë turned this man into some kind of half-fae. Presumably to make it easier for him to fight you and to make him tougher. "Narmamorë would have betrayed you, you know." "Oh, but I would've betrayed him as well, damn fae; his aid was welcome, but he turned me into a freak. Well, go on! Have you nothing better to do?" He tried to break through his ropes, but he was unable. "Yes, yes, now if you would give me a moment." Greifswalder law states that no man could be punished without a trial. But thankfully, being king, you held wide legal and judicial prerogatives. So you quickly wrote a verdict in shorthand. "You stand accused of murder, high treason, conspiring with foreign entities, impersonating a knight, fleeing persecution and violating sumptuary law. The court finds you guilty and sentences you to death by quartering, to be carried out immediately." You declared in a blunt manner.He said nothing; he simply hung his head in defeat. The courtyard of the outpost was too small for the horse to run through, so it was done on a nearby field. Four workhorses were brought up; four men were given coachman's whips, and the Pflugfeld was tied on his limbs. "One, two, three, Hah-Hah-Hah!" The men yelled as they whipped the horses into a full trot. It didn't take long; he screamed in pain for about half a minute, but he soon was ripped apart. Three limbs came loose, and the last horse had both a limb and a torso; if this didn't kill him, the dismemberment surely would. He would be cremated so none could find him, and this matter could be forgotten.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

In times of old, there stood many a great kingdom or realm, their lines proud, their kings great, and their works were legendary. It was a time of greatness for all, from all classes and races, for it was a time when the yields were abundant, the cattle fat, and the weather favourable.This changed, however. A creature with a heart pitch-black and eyes of darkness and despair that rise and shrink with hate. All despaired at his coming and the hordes and legions he brought with him. Crowns were broken, castles slighted, and the kings lay broken. Like a vile black hand, his reach seemed boundless; with his fiery red eyes, his gaze kept his subjects obedient, and from a dark tower, this lord of evil watched over his realm as the land fell into darkness and despair, with hope fading like a dying ember.But embers can flare up, and like the phoenix, a new generation of heroes and their hosts of light broke the chains, shattered his armies to the winds and finally brought an end to his reign of terror. As the morrow broke once more, it was thus proclaimed that nevermore should his name be uttered, nevermore should his remains be seen, and nevermore should there be fear of his tyranny. And so, the people rejoiced in their newfound freedom, rebuilding their shattered world with hope and determination for a brighter future. His artefacts and symbols, buried deep beneath the sands and earth, were so well hidden that not even the most fanatical cultist would find anything.And yet in that lies the danger; dead though he may be, there are still those who revere him as though he were a god-king upon this earth, and his ilk have a tendency not to stay dead… There are still whispers, mutterings and vague prophecies about his return, though none have come true as of my writing this tome…. His name was struck from the lists of both paper and mind, so one would never again say that name which struck deep grief into the hearts of all peoples…. I shall end this book with a warning: if he does return, do not try to fight him; run. Run to the nearest authorities and alert them; fighting him alone shall surely be your doom, even if he's weakened, but the worst thing you can do is to let him speak; his words shall gnaw in your mind, his arguments shall be so persuasive that you will drop your weapons, and he shall weave a web of deceit that will ensnare even the strongest of wills. Hearken unto him, no matter his guise and form, and before too long you shall find yourself in eternal servility.

You were led out, Erassyl and Mortharn behind you, being led into the courtyard, where the sultan was burning corpses and emblems of the snake cult. He had also burnt both their bodies, and the heads of both Samarda and Nafiri now hung on a pike.The Sultan himself was lean but powerful, a man with dark eyes with a silverish tint; his beard was dark and short, and he seemed to have a permanent frown on his brow. "What's all this then? The hag had a dragon in her dungeon and an elf? You must come from far, both of you, which makes me suspicious of you." He sternly eyed the three of you. "But great sultan, we were prisoners; surely we can't be on her side. The horrible things we had to endure under her cruelty were too much, my friend." You pointed to Mortharn, "has lost his tongue, so please, show some mercy; we have been bereft of it for so long." He scratched his beard, considering your words carefully. "You have my sympathy, but I know of your ways, dragon. You may leave, for my god forbids the killing of prisoners, but I do not wish to see you again, do you hear me?" He stared you down with as stern a glance as a mortal could muster, and you saw the silver in his eyes shine.>Very well, I shall retire into the mountains, far away from the civilisation.>Now, now, I can be of use for you; I am a dragon after all.
