Deep under the mountains there are some who say only the darkest of evil lurks below ground. Some say only goblins, beastmen and orcs hide waiting for naive travellers eager to quickly move across the abandoned underground tunnels for quick access to the path that leads from the most advanced industrious prosperous gnome republics to the cities of marble and elven royalty where pure sliver minted Yati coins are plenty.Yet only those who were told tales passed down by their dwarven elders and their slowly dwindling down grandfathers and mothers numbers of knew of their ancient buried city of Kazmeri. The city described as being leagues ahead of the most technological civilizations and industrial might that makes most tools sourced from the ancient city to be worth a man's life twice over.You, your brothers and sisters ([bold]Note this is the posters who respond. A group in a rough size of 500 dwarves.[/bold]) sick of burning to death steadily from the heatwaves rising in temperature every 10 or 20 years finally decide to rediscover your homeland, your culture, ancient texts and the secret of what brought down the greatest empire of all time.All you have to guide you is a single map drawn by a crazy old man clearly waning memory carved deep into a stone tablet...

Two months ago a new disease was discovered out of sub Saharan Africa and began to spread like wildfire rapidly infecting nearly 15% of the world's population worldwide. This would have been incredibly alarming if the disease had not been very mild, only giving those infected a mild cough and was only dangerous to those who were very old or sickly. The disease would have probably even been fully ignored if it weren't for how widespread it was. A month after its discovery something changed; those infected with the disease worldwide became enraged and violent. The world is crumbling and you must do your best to survive it.You are Corporal Andrew Foch of the 75th ranger regiment machine gunner, expert on infected and guest of the coast guard aboard the Cutter Richard Snyder. In the last week or so you were separated from the mixed group of special force operators you worked with by a helicopter crash, joined up with a remaining coast guard ship, secured a source of fuel for it and finally formed a team and scavenged several new firearms for yourself and the ship. Now your traveling north along the US eastern seaboard toward Newport Rhode island to join up with a flotilla in the area.

Your name is Vincent Cruz. You work in a shady government-backed facility in the middle of the New Mexico desert. In a turn of events, you are now a footnote to the Powers That Be. To them, you've actually proven yourself to be useful, thanks to a very lucky break involving one of your anomalies.After all, you're a researcher for the Abnormality Regulation Coalition (also known as ARC), tasked with containing and studying paranormal entities on their behalf. You've always had a knack with the anomalous, even before you ended up here, ever since that chance encounter with a certain HEART.You're great at making the worst out of a bad situation, at least. You've got friends, you've got cash, and you've got the attention of ARC. As long as you keep this pace up, you should be just fine!As for what happened over the last day or so?You got yourself entangled in a series of mysterious contracts from a masked soldier. You've already completed the first one with little challenge, so hopefully the remaining two will go over smoothly.You managed to stabilize NOWHERE'S SOMMELIER's condition, without outright 'resolving' her (which might've killed her if it was like IN LIMBO). She's going by Kiera now, and she should be sticking around for a good long while as a new coworker.You got two brand new anomalies, THE OTHER SIDE and STATIC ANGLERFISH. You've already met STATIC ANGLERFISH before, so you already know a decent amount of his tricks. The other anomaly is going to take a while to figure out, given that even ARC doesn't know what risk level to classify it as.You had a nice, long talk with Rudolf, which illuminated some interesting details about why you were dragged here. You also learned some fun facts about Harvester anatomy and the politics of both ARC and the SPONSORSHIP COMPANIES.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

The tension is palpable as you navigate the chilly limestone corridors of the Hall of the Elders, ascending the now-familiar staircase and crossing over the blue carpet which leads to the massive oaken table in the shape of a half-circle. 'Sindiira Torani, Speaker of the Town,' reads the steel placard set before your designated seat. Assuming your place, you double check the fastening of your gauntlets and await the arrival of the other members of the Council of Elders for this morning's meeting, shifting your armored weight uncomfortably. How the High Captain attends every meeting in full plate without fail is a mystery.It was established last night that an army of forces most nefarious marches on Everlund, House Delyl's own forces amongst them. While the possibility of petitioning neighboring cities for reinforcements was raised last night, the High Captain remained adamant that Everlund's army is sufficient to defend it from any threats that may arise. 'We can't run crying to to Alustriel every time the city is in danger,' he stated verbatim.One by one your peers shuffle in. Prompt to arrive is Sten, who has refused to abandon his armor, opting to drape a fur cloak over himself and consider the matter concluded. Likewise, the Priestess of Corellon attends in her ceremonial armor, foregoing protection from the cold entirely. Minutes later, Emitia arrives, favoring a coat of dark fur over a midnight green dress, as befits the season. The Keeper of the Bridgers assumes his place, wearing black padded armor over a wool shirt to retain his warmth.Predictably, the High Sorcerer arrives late, and has not altered a thing about his attire, arriving in the audacious marigold robes that befit him, his black gloves pulled securely over his hands. Taking his seat, he leans the chair back, resting his feet on the table and folding his arms, rocking to and fro. "Shall we get started?" He asks.
>>6462639You consider your options. You feel reasonably confident that his intention is to duel you, although you did not have the opportunity to get the measure of his strength during your previous encounter. Moreover, there is also the matter of your sisters to consider. Vierna is at least as strong as you, as you recall, and has Lolth's favor besides, whilst Phaere assuredly has several contingencies planned. Expending too much effort here may prove unwise.A glint in the corner of your eye draws your attention away from the orc momentarily. Following the light, you are able to make out a pair of lustrous green dots from a nearby patch of forest. Perhaps your eyes deceive you, but you suspect that you can make out the silhouette of a large feline, joined by several other creatures. Patiently, they lie in wait, making no movements. It could be that they have been stalking Twice-Scarred and his retinue long before your arrival here, and perhaps even before the start of the battle."You hesitate. Is it fear that stays your hand, or are you considering the best way to strike at me?">It is time to sever the serpent's head. I shall duel you, orc, and mount your weapon above my fireplace.>[Intellect] The battle is already won, and Everlund's army is the victor.

>>6440590Perhaps it's the yearning for central leadership inherent to all hivers, perhaps it's the void left behind by the fogmen's lack of a queen, or maybe it's simply the raw charismatic gravity of Beep's strong and direct leadership style, whatever the reason, the hive falls into line behind Beep quite naturally as they make good time on their journey. The Fog Hive passes successfully through the regions of Heng and Vein before tragedy strikes just of the edge of the Foglands. Wandering bands of starving bandits have been harrying the hivers since leaving the walls of Raptor Fields, and each has fallen before the might of Beep and his entourage without posing much challenge. However, upon inspection, our own strength appears to be our undoing.

We can rebuild him, we have the technology. The most skilled robotics expert in all the three tribes is our own Principo, who crafted the stockpile at Raptor Hills himself.

Your friends and family slowly stopped associating with you. Something about a social media bubble you were supposedly in, which caused you (once an almost-respectable and mild-mannered young man) to become a jaded and paranoid college drop out who constantly talked about increasingly fringe and controversial obsessions (the WEF, Soros, et al.). You also became obsessed with an imminent end-of-the-world event. You weren't sure when or how it was all going to crumble. But you knew it would happen sooner rather than later. You got a miserable job at Amazon and worked as much overtime as you could and bought some land a few miles off a state highway in Kentucky. Over a few months, you spent every extra dollar buying supplies and stocking them up at your land. You thought you had at least a year or two before you'd need to move up there permanently. But, as it turns out, the "happening" came far sooner than even you expected. You're still not really even sure what's going on. But the power's flickering in and out, buildings are blowing up, and people are panicking. You barely made it out of town, and the journey up the interstate wasn't easy. But you finally made it. It's mid-March. So weather won't be a problem. Yet. You had shared your plans with a handful of other people, mostly people online. It looks like some of them actually made it.

You are a PATRIOTIC MEMBER of the shapeshifting SKRULL RACE. Your benevolent EMPEROR has decreed that, due to an ongoing skirmish abroad, it would be wise to DIVERSIFY their species with all manner of SUPERPOWERS. To this end, they have sent you to a little planet called EARTH that is overflowing with these SUPERPOWERED BEINGS. Your job is to bring back a FULL TEAM'S WORTH of SUPERPOWERED BEINGS. (According to your superiors, a full team constitutes at least four SPECIMENS-- superpowered beings.) At least one of these SPECIMENS must derive from your own successful EXPERIMENTS (but you shall be rewarded handsomely if you can replicate all of your captives' powers). This must be accomplished within the next TEN YEARS, or else you shall be UNCEREMONIOUSLY EXECUTED for your PATHETIC FAILURE. The more captive SPECIMENs, the better... but they must all be returned to the Throneworld ALIVE so that you can properly demonstrate their capabilities to THE EMPEROR. <><><><><>To acquire SPECIMENS, you must take advantage of your THREE MAJOR STATS: CHARISMA, MIMICRY, and GADGETRY. These MAJOR STATS are more thoroughly explained in the RENTRY, but, put simply: CHARISMA will help you lure in your victims. MIMICRY will help you hide from the authorities. GADGETRY will help you experiment upon your captives and turn them into SUPERPOWERED BEINGS.In addition, major stats must be balanced with two MINOR STATS: POPULARITY and SUSPICION. A high POPULARITY can supplement your CHARISMA by making people more willing to trust you, but may also attract unwanted attention. High SUSPICION means GAME OVER-- avoid increasing it as much as possible.GADGETS are the key to your SUCCESS. They bestow POWERS upon your captives, after all. What POWERs, exactly? You can't know until you use them at least once!The application of these POWERS is somewhat reliant on a GADGET's QUALITY, which is determined throughout its creation through a series of rolls. A low-quality GADGET will malfunction very often, leading to very suspicious EXPLOSIONS coming from your headquarters and possibly harming your SPECIMENs, while a high-quality GADGET will rarely malfunction and sometimes grant BONUSES to particularly successful rolls.Rentry for further reference: https://rentry.org/skrullquest

So, much to my dismay, I think I'm going to have to put this quest to rest.My schedule has not cleared up; my real life has been intruding more and more on my free time. This quest, although I've really enjoyed running it, demands an amount of time that I cannot dedicate to it anymore. Most entries take 2-4 hours at minimum, with some tougher ones taking up to 5-6, and my current options are either to keep running (by heavily rushing and/or condensing entries so that they only take 1-2 hours to make), stressing myself out and leaving me unsatisfied with my work, or to put this down and maybe come back to it in the far future (when I'm hopefully good enough at writing and drawing to make entries a little quicker and/or better). This really was intended to be a one-shot, and more comedic and lighthearted than anything else, but I overestimated the amount of time I'd have left to dedicate to it past the first month or two and underestimated just how much time it'd take to even put out one entry a week (let alone every one or two days). Hopefully I won't make that mistake again.All that said... thank you all for reading, no matter how brief this was. This quest was blessed with an enthusiastic audience that stuck around until the very end, and I couldn't have asked for more. Hopefully I'll be able to do you all justice someday. -Z'RIM THANKS YOU FOR YOUR STALKING EFFORTS AND HOPES TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.-GLORY TO THE EMPEROR AND G'OME DEPOT

Though is I may offer a word of advice, maybe start small with something with a very condensed scale and less art and mechanics? It was all very good, but no wonder it ended up being so high-effort.
>>6457504Thanks for letting us know and thanks for running! I definitely had fun and would welcome it if you ever came back to this quest.Farewell Z'Rim and GLORY TO THE EMPEROR AND TO THE SKRULL RACE!
