You're Tupolev, the Merchant. All your peers warned you to stay away from the Misty Mountains for strange things happen there.But you saw a profit opportunity during war time by going through the mountains to avoid the worst of the fight. However, by the time you left the mist, the land was unrecognizable.None of your old maps made any sense anymore.You sent some scouts out and they confirmed - you're in uncharted territory somehow.The question that remains is: what did you bring to these strange lands?

Your name is (write in), and at only 25 years old you are the best and highest-paid football player in the world. There’s still a long road ahead before you’re widely considered the GOAT, but deep down that’s already your reality — just another fact. With your recent achievement of a fifth ring and another MVP, even the most stubborn critics accept that, at your current pace, your coronation is inevitable. Your idol Tom Brady can only watch as you reach his numbers at lightning speed. He respects you, admires you, and says that in five years there won’t be any serious debate left — you’ll be crowned while still in your prime. Your impact on football is something incredibly rare in the world of sports. Hopefully nothing bad happens to you before that.…Taiwman, late February.You’ve been celebrating the championship for days in a nonstop party.

Well, here we are.You were woken up from a midday nap by the grinding of the brakes as the train arrived at X-X Station (pronounced "Double Cross," according to a clerk), and thus missed the first opportunity to queue for a quick exit from the car, as you were still quite drowsy and groping around to ensure that your possessions had (also) arrived unperturbed. Now you have queued behind a pair of rotund priests (Reformists, you think), as they gingerly step onto the platform and lose themselves in the sea of people. There are more people here than you've ever seen in once place, at least since you were a child. It's hot: hotter than it would ever get in Iscthymia. At least it's a dry heat there. Here you can feel every layer of clothing beginning to drip. But you can't take off your jacket just yet. It's dangerous, you think.If there is one thing you hate it's traveling over-encumbered, so, in the spirit of new beginnings, you packed only the bare essentials. There's a nagging feeling of regret as you begin to intuit that perhaps you wouldn't know what would really count as essential in this new chapter of your life, in Chaotzakka, with its fourteen million people. These are things you would've pondered on the train ride had you not dozed off immediately. You're carrying a hardshell briefcase, a backpack that's coming apart at the seams, and a little bum bag crossed over your shoulder. You lift your patrol cap to see more clearly; you don't want to remove it as your hair is almost certainly a mess, but the material is itchy. The cap and bag are from your year of mandatory civil service. The backpack is from your school days. The briefcase used to be your dad's.You're trying to get used to the smells and sounds. It seems like everything ticks, rings, or thuds in this city. You are buffeted by a blast of hot steam and struggle to breathe for a moment. Unlike a country bumpkin such as yourself, city-dwellers know to back away from the train as soon as they get off. That's why they call the station the "sauna." Just a little sample of that big-city wit for you.You thought you'd checked that you had everything before getting off the train, but a sudden irrational panic grips you and you fear having left your most important possession behind. But of course this isn't the case; you can feel its weight on your right hip. Still, just for assurance, you reach down with your free hand and grip your>Blade>Pistol>Staff

Weekend updates will probably be more spaced-out in the future.]Well, if Galick knew who your dad was, you may as well find out who else did. After a moment of doubt, you ask Garrett straight up: did he know him?Garrett meets your gaze with an inscrutable expression. A moment passes before he answers... "Sorry, but no. I mean, I knew of him. But, if you're wondering, I didn't know about this connection when we met."That's kind of a relief.The two of you rejoin the table amidst a newly-enlivened conversation. Hassan whispers at you again, though. "Hey, why the hell does everyone here think you killed that monster back in the Zone?" You don't know how to respond to this."I mean, not that I mind, but..." He does seem to mind a bit. "People here have been fed a different version of events. Nobody here seems to know about Maggde."You wonder if the Talons decided to downplay their role in today's disastrous excursion for the sake of damage control. But then again, Chernabel and Umaz were also there, and it's not like the giant smoke cloud wasn't visible for miles... do people think you pulled off a miraculous feat, or have they assumed that you're some kind of prodigy? How exactly do they think you managed to incinerate that monster?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
QM? You okay? It has been a week and a bit.
"Gill and Kane, stay here and keep watch. Alert us if anybody sails near the wreckage. The rest of you, with me."“Yessir, boss!”Two men split off from the group and stand guard by the gaping hole that had allowed you all an entrance. It was a miracle the remains of the ship were afloat at all, nearly half of it shorn off by Sea Devil knows what. You count yourself lucky you weren't a part of the battle and count yourself even luckier that you and the rest of the bandits got here first. Somehow, you doubt even your imagination can conceive the type of loot a ship from the fleet of an Emperor of the Sea might contain.You proceed down the hallway, avoiding the gouges in the flooring and the dagger-sharp planks sticking out of the walls. The primary instinct that strikes you is to hover at the back of the pack, but there seems to be constant jockeying for position over there - no good bandit welcomes a backstabbing - so you stay where you are and keep your eyes and ears open. This wasn't your first job with these guys, but that was no invitation to let your guard down.The boss kicks down a door and steps inside a room up ahead. With furtive looks at each other, the rest of you follow suit and funnel in. Scattered gasps and murmurs fill the silence of the chamber.The chamber was chock-full of glittering, glorious treasure chests."Boys... we hit the JACKPOT!" The boss of the bandits nearly stumbles; such is his excitement in approaching the nearest chest. The rings on his hand clink together as he reaches for the clasp that separates riches from the ragged. One more step...Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Across the stars there exists a legend walking among the myriad species of the stars, and his name is Zarus.Zarus is a creature that is known as a human, a species that came from somewhere unknown. In truth, they aren't too much unlike those of the intergalactic community, with meager lives only a fraction as long as yours, of flesh and blood and with hands and feet, spacedust given fleeting form. Only, Zarus himself isn't like other humans - at least, not to your or anyone else in the galaxy's knowledge. Zarus is the most powerful of all psykers in the galaxy. This is by far, no contest. He doesn't perform acts as directly lifting his enemies and sending them flying, no. His reality changing powers are matched only by his warped perspective and inflated ego. Many have tried to kill him, and the world itself bends over backwards to protect him. Bullets sheer by him, laser weapon systems malfunction as they pull the trigger, bombs spontaneously detonate before he enters their blast radius, and other psykers lose their powers as he draws near. Some speculate you could catch him off guard with orbital bombardment or destroying the very planet he stands on, but the empires of the galaxy know he is more precious alive than dead. If it weren't for his self-centered attitude and racial prejudice, he would have had any seat he desired in any empire of his choice, but he prefers the free life of a gun for hire.If you were to believe the man himself, he was once part of a crew of fifty men sailing through the stars, incidentally struck by debris of an ancient errant missile smashing into a nearby asteroid. The lone survivor, he landed on a fertile planet in the process of colonization and took it as a sign he was still protected by his gods. The planet he refused to name, but rumor has it he calls his home the "mystic city of Agartha." Many have gone to search for it. Some empires are running vast intelligence operations to acquire any information they can about the city. You know better than to actively go and find a planet where there may be hundreds, thousands, millions of humans just as capable as Zarus in the psychic arts. Their elevation to a spacefaring race would upheave the order of the entire galaxy.So of course, you came across the planet on pure accident.

>>6339473>>6339586>>6339619One of your crewmembers remarked how you have been ordering them backward, that they should have laid groundwork for the world's politics and the colony beacon first. Nonsense. You had to make sure that the lifeforms on this planet would complicate matters- which, as you are all now well aware, they are very capable of. You are a larger form of life than others, and as such your ships are scaled to a large degree, but the common form of those sky beasts are comparable to one of your scouting ships in size, the largest of which is a rather large fraction of your superyacht's size; which is no small feat, and would nevertheless wreak havoc upon the exterior should it get close. Clearly they have never heard of looking before leaping.Now that you have marked off certain regions as requiring clearance to even be near, you can perform more safer tasks. Now, you will humor that crew member by sending him on the scouting ship to identify and "acquire" some multilingual and knowledgeable Agarthans. The Agarthan tongue is familiar to you, so one of them is the easiest starting point to learning other languages and cultures.It may be risky; none of your casual observations have shown the average human performing the reality-warping acts of Zarus, but perhaps they may not have been pressed to...Conducting Human Abduction.

>>6341354>Investigate Colony BeaconOff to the forests of southern Agarthan territory, a thick natural border between the metropolitan area of the golden megacity and a nearby desert, there is a now overgrown crash site of a small colonizing ship of your origin. The initial scan of the area was bleak, but the scouting returned grim results.Your kind descended onto this planet in the most haphazard and reckless fashion aboard this space-faring ship. It is mostly intact, but inside the ship are bodies snapped out of shape in ways even your kind cannot recover from. They clearly died on impact.Most colonizer ships are staffed with a crew of 50, bearing themselves, capsules containing the future of your species, and relevant beacons to beckon the automated colonization system to wherever they deem fit to plant their roots.This vessel had no distinct mission, just to survey and mark outer regions of the galaxy for viable planets for assimilation into the empire and to lay the groundwork when they do. Whether or not these planets were occupied were of little import; the way your colonization works, hovering over the planet and beckoning resources hither would have been enough. Under zero circumstances should it have even attempted landing. Checking the itinerary, the crew included mostly standard volunteers and experts in colonization, but also a very peculiar VIP; an admiral of repute, one who had went missing nearly a decade ago on a personal leave.After triple-checking the nearby surrounds, your crew has found 48 bodies of your kind. Between the horrific mangling of the bodies aboard and the natural decay of particular features, none of them are even remotely identifiable. Any survivors made zero attempt to seed this planet and zero attempt to escape it. No landing program or poor piloting can be the cause of this. All in all, the report offers a chilling suggestion: someone with authority of the controls had put the nose down and said good night for themselves and everyone aboard. What would compel someone to perform such suicidal assassination has been beyond your kind for eons. To convince one of your own to end the lives of their peers is... unfathomable.You dread that the perpetrator lived to tell the tale, and collect whatever reward they had on the admiral's head. Or that the Agarthans found the wreckage and extracted two bodies of your kind for whatever purposes they see fit. Frankly, you do not know which would be worse.

And if! With the legendary Calamity Cola, you’ll be at 100% in a second…You drink the evil beverage to recover all your stamina. “Busy again?” Beth woke up as well.“Yeah, sorry…” You lament. “Relax, my beloved. I have you covered…” Beth snaps her fingers. “Don’t forget to return to me once again.”You reappear at the front of the Prisoner’s house with your casual clothes on! Oh, and with a breakfast box. Looks decent. It’s like you were expelled out of Beth’s domain back to the silly real world…It’s pretty clear that, with the thermostat still broken, it’d be better if you part ways — and do your own thing. The problem is that you weren’t here alone! Maybe you should ask them to bring those lovely people over?What do you do?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

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.

They had taken your challenge to learn how to solve the communication barrier with a society that did not know the sky above their mines existed, yet alone of the worlds beyond their worlds with great gusto and had devised a novel means of breaking that barrier. Which they had done themselves, to prove it'd work. They'd started by sending dummy distress signals near to the surface, which allowed the abhuman miners to realize the source must be coming from beyond their world of rock and stone.And then followed by sending transmission to the groups that had figured it out, and providing proof of a world beyond their mines. Somehow, this was not met with skepticism or derision by the rest of their societies, but rather a rush to be the first to make contact with the "Uplanders" as the underground dwellers called the aspirants and you supposed everyone elseThere was some grumbling, when an Astartes that had been left on the planet to watch over and run the boys through drills had happened upon and discovered what the aspirants were getting up to, but the response from the rulers of the four blocs, which were formed by councils of elders that represented the interests and vendettas of various clans and families, had been one of intrigue and praise for such "Clever little beardlings".

You paused, sensing a torrent of her thoughts and feelings and translating them to be understandable to Shrei who does not know her as intimately and deeply as you have come to "overly fond of the idea of my alliance with the frost maiden's family, but we agree that the forces of discord must be opposed, wherever they are found""Discord" Shrei repeated, eyes fluttering but never closing, never shutting entirely, even as fresh rivulets of blood bubbled beneath them from the prolonged eye contact she forced herself to endure, staring into the sea of your soul through your all revealing eyes "I, presume that this is your people's term for the darkness""That which is destructive, that which is chaotic, that which is born from the darkness and turmoil of the hearts of men, the shadow of sin and the presence of evil. Atrocity embodied, foulness personified, and many other equally as contemptible forms" You answers and knows Shrei understands"We priests of the still waters think of them as pollution. Grime. Slag. Muck" She answers and you give an approving nod, nearly applauding before you halt the motion, thinking better of lightening the mood and turning such a grave conversation casual and light "Then, if you are aligned with this frost maiden in opposition, then she must be of clear waters""Order, purity, righteousness, but less beneficial forms as well. Withing light, there is dark, and within dark, there is light" You say, remembering the rival daemon princes you battled and the earnest, uncorrupted but mad love between the Butcher King and his bride as well as the force that pushed Elazar to dishonor himself and act so barbarously in the pursuit of eradicating the taint of chaos"Then she is the second" Shrei assumes, you hold up a hand, and with a monkeyish grin and wag of the finger, cackling as she blundered as if the mistake was a punchline of a great joke, you corrected her kindly, still laughing.Comment too long.

>>6352949"Myself" And then, mercifully, Shrei blinks and breaks herself from the durance she'd forced herself to endure simply to stand her ground against your request to be shown to the dragon's heart, an impressive shown of will and sense of duty that'd surely have brought tears to the ancestors supporting her, if they could still shed such things. Shrei's jaw wags and before she can ask, you explain"And aha, that is not a riddle" You say, catching her flatfooted as you continue, explaining to the best of your abilities what exactly the giggling maid is to you, as she is different from the golden sea of your soul. for once, she is much more talkative and free spirited and is her own person unlike the sea which is a grand network and root system of spirit and soul stuff that connects to the souls and hearts of others."I've so enshrined my charming blithe spirit, the innocence and joy of my heart, that an avatar of sorts was born". Shrei still does not understand. Perhaps..."Why must innocence be discarded? Why must one grow old and mature, and harden and grow cold. Simply living is reason enough to celebrate and be forever joyful" You repeat the insight and fragment of true enlightenment the maid revealed to you, that had granted you strength beyond the ken of discordant minds And alas, Shrei does not have eyes to see the peak before her and just parts her lips, dumbly staring at you as if you've suddenly been dressed in the regalia of a court fool."You are not ready" You sadly admit and she regains her composure, shaking the confusion of your, to her mind, meaningless statements and nonsense explanations"Your thoughts are uniquely your own, love. I doubt there are many who could keep up with your train of thought, or understand the logic of it. Remember when you decided the most effective move in a fight was to turn yourself into a living cannonball while fighting what remained of my degenerated sister, Kuan Im?" Kanzeon chimes in as Shrei, notices she's bleeding and casually, nearly carelessly wipes away the tears of blood sticking to her cheeks and drying into her veil Comment too long.

>>6352951You....aren't entirely sure of her logic and are quite confident her elders would disagree vehemently if they learned of her decision or heard her declare you a foundational pillar or living ancestor. And what that means, is still hidden from you despite peering into her mind. From what you can gather from her surface thoughts, she believes her lineage was spawned from one being separating itself, like a stone being cut and reshaped. And, that reminds you, faintly of the reverse process that created Kanzeon and her sisters"....I'm going to hope that's just superstition and misremembered history turned to myth" Kanzeon herself mutters, as Shrei stands before you, beaming as her maids, one by one reawaken as she waits for you to tell her to lead you to the heart, seeing that you share an enemy in the "pollution" as she conceptualizes chaos and are an equal to her own ancestors in her eyes.What do you do, Lieren?>Slip away from the diplomatic talks, to be lead to the Dragon's heart>Wait until the talks have ended to seek the heart>Ask Kanzeon to travel in your stead, as there is still much for you to do>Beckon Giggling Maid and your fallen companions, and have Shrei escort them to the heart insteadComment too long.

Yes! A drama-free picnic at the special recharge point is exactly what I need right now! And I might be able to increase my Meal Preparation skill!Cady smiles at Ren and Deline. "Why don't we have a pool picnic?"Ren blinks. "A picnic?""You mean at the waterfall pool behind the academy?" Deline presses her elbows against her sides and squirms in place. "That sounds like so much fun!" She stops and looks at Cady. "But what are we going to eat?""We can stop by the marketplace and pick up what we need." Cady smirks at Ren. "It'll be cheaper than the café!""That's very considerate, Princess." Ren looks up at Quadi. "You want to come with?"Quadi slaps the power droid's top surface with a clunk. "Some of us have work to do."Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Cady turns as they walk through the marketplace and holds up the bag in her hand toward Ren. "Um... thanks for buying this, Ren.""I always pay on dates." Ren's grin catches Cady off-guard and her face flushes before she can turn it away.Deline peeks into the bag "What are you going to make with those yargle eggs if you're not going to cook them?" "You'll find out when we eat!" Cady glances over her shoulder and quickly looks away from Ren's grin. As she does, a familiar nametag catches her attention."Master Cynto!" Fili is already looking at them when Deline calls and waves. "What are you doing here?"Ren grins at Fili. "Even Jedi Masters have to go shopping, huh?"Fili smiles at Ren and turns her hand up as Harn appears behind Cady. "We thought it might be nice to have a droid at the academy." Fili tilts her head toward Harn. "Any luck?""They were too expensive."Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6351446>You should come with!One does not simply pass up th chance to see your hunky jedi instructor in the pool, Cady. Besides it's not like this is an exclusive date with Ren since Deline is there and this will probably let Ren try to pitch the droid idea at them more so he should be down for it. (Assuming he's going hard with this to try and use the funds to buy Koe's contract?)
>>6351446>W-would you like to come with?Even if we can’t handle it, better to die chasing your dreams than live an empty shell.Also might be a good opportunity to “let it slip” that Ren has some force potential.

You see his face. Sharp razor slit eyes etched onto a hulking creature’s giant head, which would give children across the galaxy vivid nightmares, stare into your soul. It produces no feeling of horror or fear, nor any other natural response, because you know him. Those eyes that are locked onto yours are dulled, empty, lifeless. The vacant glare causes your heart to wither in your chest. It was you, you did this, you killed your closest friend. A man who has saved your life, and you killed him. Now his face is slack, muscles relaxed, and his eyes are barren; all that vigour and life that he carried around with him is forever gone, never to return. It was your choice to kill him. Sith Lord Yvalok presented the options to you. During your months on Lao training as a Sith Acolyte you, Vulfstahn a child of the extinct Sith people, have shown a wild potency with the Force which is unequalled by your supposed peers. This rare talent caught Yvalok’s eyes and has him captivated with your development, wanting nothing more than to see you flourish. The ancient human decided to gift you hate through a choice: slay Urr’tal in a duel or watch as Yira gets gangraped. You gave the withered husk of a Human your answer. With a slash of your sword, you betrayed Urr’tal, ending all the myriad great possibilities he could have achieved in his prodigious lifespan. The Sith Lord that would be nothing but a frail old man if not for his mastery of the dark side of the Force stands above you as thick red ichor spews from the Whiphid’s severed neck. Forced onto the hard durasteel floor by a burst of lightning, you are enveloped by the growing pool of your friend’s blood. His decapitated head rests in front of you, not able to steal your eyes away from the lifeless face as his matted fur stains from his bleeding. Yvalok monologues and lectures, but you can’t hear him. The unblinking eyes have stolen your world.
>>6350265Fuck Yvalok.Pride comes before being humble under that cunt. We do as we wish, not as he wishes.>Bend the knee to SeyraNo. Prison rules, we are currently on even footing. We made a whole song and dance about us being in charge and the consequences for contradicting us.You'd undo ALL that we have worked on with her to now capitulate of OUR OWN FUCKIN' VOLITION! Unacceptable. Completely Unacceptable.We have Hela as our tutor, use her, and use the fact that she's now out of protection to try and extort more lessons from her.
>>6350087I, for one, like the idea of inter-academy competition.>>6350275>>6350273I also 100% agree: fuck Yvalok.
>>6350273I meant more the change in dynamic, weither it's hitching ourselves to her rise, or figuring out an angle to gain from her fall, returning the favor is simply a given in that.>>6350275I think I misspoke, I was thinking less a capitulation and more an exchange of skills, we have more talent in the force and by our own admission already during the duel, she is the better duelist, but if this undoes any of our hard gained work obviously this shouldn't go ahead.
Is there a chance of more soon?

>>6337519Black Pete sounds like he is based on the old version of Sinterklaas' helper here in the Netherlands>>6337523It's kind of early to end the thread though, we're still pretty high on page 1 while 4chan only deletes after page 10 but that is up to you. Just know you can't have more than (I think) two active at a time and a thread is active until it drops of from board 10 whether or not people post in it
>>6337877Sadly, I've only prepared one adventure for now, so I'll need some time to make more plot beats. It could be a couple of weeks, but it could also be a month or so.Also you're correct in that Black Pete is based on Zwarte Piet
>>6337877I think it is three active quests at a time. Modpost says it is five, but I'm pretty sure it is three.>>6337523I'll get around to feedback some other time. Thanks for running this though.
You are the self-proclaimed KING of the WASTELAND. Ever since the great BIG BOOM in the far off year of 2007, the world has gotten pretty nasty–ruins and mutants litter the desert wasteland all around you, roving bands of warlord kings and factions in all sorts of endless wars.You never did much mind, though, as you kept to yourself in your reclusive “castle” (a pre-BIG BOOM convenience store) with your friend and roommate, DUKE NASU, watching one of your 24 copies of SUPERBAD (2007) and pumping iron–that is, at least, until a demolition company drove up to your front door. You found out your castle was apparently on land that fell under the titleship of a “GUN KING”, who sought to evict you and bulldoze it into the ground. You took ownership of the demolitionist’s wrecking ball and drove out to the GUN KING’S castle to confront him on the matter.You managed to infiltrate his castle whereupon you engaged in one-on-one combat with the king, PANZER GRAAD–however, defeating him only led to the appearance of another freak, the “MUTANT KING,” who kidnapped your dear friend DUKE NASU to bring him to its kingdom. You need to get him back.LAST THREAD: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2021/5005718/

"Consider this a tip for a tip. How about some info on the MUTANT KING?" You lean in, your voice low. "I'm looking to have a little meeting with it.""Hmph." A few tentacles sweep up and bring the mags up to its beady little eyes. "Well, between you and me.. that crown is going to put the king in a foul mood. Nothing quite sets the MUTANT KING off like things like that.""The crown? You mean.. like royalty puts the king in a bad mood?" You lean in, almost singing your forearm on the squid's steaming flat top."Not the crown. The shine." He hisses through his teeth. "But I've said enough.
