You are a Bridge Troll. A savage, dim, and obsessive creature that haunts the underside of many crossings; whether that be a simple log or a glorious bridge of stone. Recently you were forcibly expelled from the bridge that had been your family's bridge for generations. It was a creaky old-bridge that stood over an equally unimpressive river full of muck, festid mosquito nests, and troll droppings.You hardly got any visitors to tax except for the occasional ne'er-do-el for whom speed and stealth was a priority over ease of travel. They rarely paid your toll but made for comforting if smelly meals.However, after a survey of the nearby area by prospectors sent by the local lord (who paid your "troll toll" with mead and apples taken from the local village), the nasty almost-creek that was your home was found to host specks of silver and therefore a silver deposit.After that you were promptly dislocated from your home by an "honorable" knight named Sir Flikker who enjoyed shouting about noblesse oblige and chivalry while chasing you. As if they cared about any of that when you were only harassing dirt poor peasants and not a host to valuable metals.Now, after walking until your warted, ugly, and dull gray feet were full of blisters you feel comfortable enough to find a new home.Which bridge do you choose?>A sturdy log over a particularly wide and long ditch in the forest. Most of your visitors will be outlaws and woodsmen who typically don't pay taxes sadly. A benefit however there's little chance of facing any conflict from a lord or mayor here.>An old splintery wooden bridge that's subject to a decent amount of foot traffic. You'd have to pick your battles carefully here, eating or taxing the wrong person could lead to knights knocking on your bridge.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Sorry I have a major report coming up so I won't be able to post today. Hopefully I will have everything finished by tomorrow so the quest can continue.>>6042040Thank you for the clarification, it's a question I have been wondering over as well. It seems I will have to write more lengthy reminders whenever someone who has disappeared for some time from now on.
>>6042987QM, Are you alright?
>>6045561Thank you for asking. As everyone might have guessed, the curse struck again. Earlier this week, a library shelf filled with decades of red tape crashed onto me while I was doing research for my report. Thankfully, I only (emphasis by my doctor) got half a dozen broken ribs and a collapsed lung. I'm currently recovering in the hospital. If I feel well enough, I'll try to get an update in either today or tomorrow. I might consider shortening the quest if this keeps happening.
>>6047289Damn. My best wishes to you QM.
>>6047289Have a good rest and get well soon.
Through dynastic intrigue, rightful inheritance, or plain dumb luck you have found yourself in charge of one of the Imperium's millions of worlds.

Wetting your lips, you once more take stock of your audience, scrutinizing their features. The eyes of these children watch you expectantly, waiting for you to offer them a glimpse of a world that they could only imagine. It is true, that you are strange to them; that much you have already acknowledged. Yet the gravity of your position becomes apparent to you only as you wrack your brain in search of a suitable subject to speak at length of. You, Jezyrene Delyl, are the sole link between the culture of your people and these impressionable little ones. Raised isolated from their kindred in the Underdark and deprived of the teachings of their ancestors, they are surfacers in all but appearance. These unforeseen circumstances evoke an unusual sensation that radiates out from your chest, a burning need to remedy this error."Once, tens of thousands of years ago, when dragons still ruled the Realms, our people came to this world from another and made our home here. We found a place in a far-off land and built a country for ourselves, the ancient realm of Ilythiir," you begin, drawing upon the education that you received in centuries past. "This is why the true name of our people is the Ilythiiri."

Having joined them on a successful hunt that ended in the execution of every single black pirate serving aboard Captain Lore's ship, the sickened Ramza was invited to join in post-mission celebrations aboard the Skyseer by Captain Jaghatai. There, he learned the finer points of one of the games native to Gaoth, purchased a handcrafted Concertina from one of the soldiers playing music for the party, and ended the celebrations by getting blackout drunk to forget the ruthless slaughter he'd seen just hours ago. Upon waking up, he was back upon his ship with the Skyseer nowhere to be seen, and Aito's own ship was fixed up enough to set sail once more.Once he was on his way back towards Threespice, he encountered a True Dragon inhabiting the icefields that seems to have been responsible for hunting the local monster population, and attempted to entice it closer to the ship to harvest one of its valuable parts without having to hunt it. He saw minor success in that he was able to acquire some of its hairs that snagged on the ship, but more valuable was perhaps the demonstration of the curious creature as it emulated the function of Ramza's mageblade without needing one of its own - one disconnected from its body, as well.As we resume our adventures, the crew had just arrived at Threespice once more. There's no time to rest, however, as Ramza has a plan for the next immediate course of action: finally acting upon that Recruitment plan that Lobo gave him and filling up your roster of men, as you have three entire ships to see to now. There is only question that remains...who will we be playing today?>Ramza Valentine. You're cocky, charming, and killer with a Mageblade.>Val Lasombra. You're great with magic, but even better with a pistol. Not one for words, you think actions speak much louder. >Gigas. You've yet to meet anyone that can best you physically, or resist your infectious cheer.

Yay for small wins.Maybe she saw some things in there she’s hoping he remembers to make him more like her.

You can't help but chuckle. "Yes, it is a big deal. You can not only see Spirits but can speak with them. Even I can't speak with all of them and I had to die and be blessed by a Dragon to even begin to understand them. This is unprecedented and quite possibly undocumented." You explain as you finish another set of steps and move down. "Just how long have you been able to do that? Was it when you became leader? It could be your natural abilities being heightened by assuming responsibility of one of the holiest, former holiest, sites in China." "Waitwaitwait! You can't start asking questions! I don't have my materials!" Ming says waving her hands to get you to stop. "I need my books! I need ink and brushes and...I'll be right back!" She says standing up and running back up the mountain. You shake your head in amusement and watch her leap from rock to rock all the way back to the Jade Palace.It doesn't take long for Ming to return, arms full of empty scrolls, ink bottles, and a various other writing instruments. Fortunately for you, you had done this exercise long enough that you had made significant progress on the steps. You were about 2/3rds down the mountain steps. "Ok! I'm ready to do some research. Let's see..." Ming sits down and crosses her legs rather than trying to sit politely. Her tail swishes from side to side and she plays with her hair as she thinks. "I think I remember noticing movement near the end. A few weeks before the city was attacked." She says as she starts quickly jotting down notes. "I just thought it was me being tired or maybe it was Xin just trying to scare me.""Xin? I don't think they're capable of such a thing." You muse. Ming throws an empty scroll at you. "You need to pick that up now and behave." She says. "I don't know when I was able to talk to them. I just kind of always have been.""What about the bigger ones? Do you see big ones?" You ask. Ming shakes her head."No. All I see is small ones." She says. You think for a moment."But there are bigger ones. Do you ever see anything bigger? Maybe like a large gust of wind that seems to move like no breeze should or something more dragon shaped?" You ask. "Some of them look a bit humanoid but eventually they start to become less and less regular shaped." You explain, waving your hands vaguely to indicate the strange forms spirits can take.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6048365>Explore the area a bit. See if we can find a few fragments of the alter to put back together.>When we're done, Call out to him. "Great Shenlong, Master of the Wind, Your friend is here to answer your summons and offer what solace he can. Please, reveal yourself!"He will hear us from his grove.
>>6048426Going to try and at least tidy up the altar. Writing.
You look at the devastation around you. You were no artisan nor a crafter so you had no idea what parts belonged to the altar or what belonged to the little homestead Bao had built for herself on this island. Still you felt compelled to try your hand at repairing the ruined altar. You grab pieces you think might have been part of the original structure but after a few moments, you realize that the exercise was a futile one. Still, you couldn't bring yourself to give up so instead you do your best to try and build a tiny shrine as best you can. Grabbing fallen twigs and with some sharp stone you managed to make some tinder. On a hunch you dig around the debris and manage to find some small fire starting equipment possibly meant to light candles and incense. With your small little offering fire, along with a few odds and ends you manage to scavenge. You give a small prayer to those who were lost before standing up and calling out into the heavens, "Great Shenlong, Master of the Wind, Your friend is here to answer your summons and offer what solace he can. Please, reveal yourself!"The winds pick up and lightning streaks across the sky. Thunder explodes high above you as the skies seem to scream out in anguish. There is a roar that reverberates throughout your very mind and soul and Shenlong ascends from the sea of clouds. You stare in the infinity as the endless coils of the Lord of Wind shift, ravel, and unravel upon themselves as the head slowly descends down from the heavens towards you. "Shenlong! Would that we could meet in better times." You shout upwards. "When I heard you called for me I came right away to offer whatever could to ease your pain!" A bolt of lightning strikes the ground a few feet away shattering a log and sending splinters everywhere. A fire bursts froth but it's immediately smothered by a combination of the intense wind and rain that suddenly overtakes the small island. Shenlong roars once more before his voice and presence brings you to your knees.
"Tai Lung. Long have you been a friend to me and my children. You have looked after them, treated them as equals and with respect. I now call upon you now not as a friend but as my champion." You hear both above and behind you. You manage to shift your body enough to see Bao approach you. The wisps that flowed out of her eyes now a burning flame, her hair ragged and messy and her clothes torn and aged. Her face is twisted in fury and grief while tears not her own pour from her face as she speaks in both their voices. "Long have we tolerated mankind's presence upon the other realm since our departure generations upon generations ago. In return for their worship we blessed them with the means to sustain themselves, with protection from misfortune, with good health. But this sacrilege goes too far! Our children slaughtered! Their lives twisted into a foul mockery of the natural order!" Shenlong roars once more and more bolts of lightning strike the island. "It is clear that they no longer deserve our blessings and will retreat into this realm forevermore. But I will not stand idly by and allow this injustice to go unpunished! I call upon you, Tai Lung, find those responsible for this crime and kill them! Let their souls be rent from their corpses so that they may face eternal judgement at the hands of their victim's fathers!"You struggle to remain on your knees as you feel the situation start to spiral out of control. If the dragons left the world completely, you had no idea what would occur. Could life even continue? Would they simply be at the mercy of entropy? Who would the people turn to in their times of desperation?>What do you do?>Write in
>>6050728Fuck. I don't really blame them, because he's a right to be angry. But to allow this would be. . Catastrophic. I've got to go some old testemant shit.>"Great Shenlong, You would have me slay every man, woman and Child that touches the soil? Render them all dead whoever feels the sun on their skin, air on their face or stone under foot?"Give a pause for him to deny, or ask what the hell we mean when he's given somewhat specific directions anyway. But if he says No, then refrain with>"Then You wish for every soul in china slain"? And after another refusal, we can ask again about mongolia, or about the ignorant of the tribe who have nothing to do with it but be related. Best move to the counter before his temper frays.>"If these people are not guilty, why ought they be punished? Are Bao and I the only souls left on the world who are considerate of you? Shenlong, I'm sorry for what happened on the mountain, for the pain it caused you, the deaths of my friends and Sang Po and my stupidity in allowing it to happen under my nose. But while your anger and hurt is more vast than I could fathom in an eternity of meditations, I know that extends to your mercy, your love and your benevolence too. Don't give up on those who still hold true to you, People like Bao's mother, Like the Library and it's peoples, Like the old monk of Zhangzhi [I've no idea if that's how you spell the triad city]. In ages to come your wrath will cool and the Monsters who've done this will be in the grasp of the courts, please, Do not reject a world with good for all the bad which surrounds it."That's the first part. . . for what he asks of us. . . well shit, we came to offer him what would ease his pain. And he seeks vengence.Could make an argument for his ageless nature, that the wheel turns slowly but inevitably. But he knows that.The pragmatists choice is just dispatching Renshu and Xin.

“Do you think you can do me another favor?” you asked.Ember gave you a hesitant look and a cautious nod.“Great. Here’s what I need…”—---------You swung through the park, faster than you normally would, but not so fast as to arouse suspicion. You had to make a conscious effort to avoid using your newfound power of flight to propel yourself through the air.That, and you didn’t want to set any trees on fire by accident. Your control was far from perfect, and you were still working on developing those skills.Similarly, Ember wasn’t terribly confident in her ability to create whatever you asked. Which, in this case, was a jamming device to halt Screwball’s stream and momentarily distract her.After everything you’ve seen, you had every confidence in her. But just in case something went wrong, you sent her ahead to intercept the criminal e-celeb. You couldn’t afford to leave that particular stone unturned, and you had your own signal to pursue.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Awww fuck it's the classic teenage girl scenarioIf I can't tell my bro something he likes is shit, we're not bro enough, but for teenagers especially these things can hurt, sometimes it's just a matter of tasteBetter to be honest than lie though in my opinion, though you could always word it in a way that doesn't sting as much
Also some other deep seated issues but I don't even know how to handle those so I won't, it's not me that has to deal with it :P

That's the thing: anything that you like will be cringe to someone else, so you might as well keep your mouth shut or else someone might say that every aspect of your being is cringe and sucks.">"The main difference between us, and Nazis, is that what we like doesn't hurt others or ourselves. I make sure to keep my targets to abandoned or low-frequency places so I don't get caught, and I never steal. Kuro likes Anime, Manga, and Weeb shit. She doesn't hurt anyone by enjoying it and it enriches her life by making her happy and occassionally teaching her life advice.">"In all honesty, you ain't wrong for spitting from the heart. You just gotta learn that other people's hearts are different than yours, they don't speak the same language as yours. Once you have good Heart-to-Heart communication skills, you can tell all the niggas you want that their stuff is cringe and they'll listen to you this time. But you better be ready for what they'll say back.">Do I even know what Blanc likes?>If not, ask "Speaking of: What do you like, my Blanc Nigga?"If only the Désirés could be as empathetic as the Imeredalas. Unfortunately, things will be even harder for us, but I will try to keep this family happy.How ironic that a girl who specialises in breaking into things has the task of strengthening and reconstructing something as fickle as family. But perhaps that's why my wish involved reconstruction as well...
fuuuuuck i didn't make it to post miharusmiharu in the morning!
My dad not being around is expected, he's a cop.But Shaniqua isn't here yet... I fear the worst might have happened to her.>>6051732Do we not all have deep-seated issues? I just have the unenviable responsibility of dealing with multiple people's.
Last time, you and Suan De chased a hobo girl named Ichie across the city and its sewers, who was demonically possessed by a ghost of allegedly evil nature (Hell bent on revenge of some kind) that was sealed in the secret room your apartment supposedly always had. It was a thrilling, disgusting, and unnecessarily difficult chase that left you on top of a random building in front of the homeless shelter. After using diplomacy effectively, you convinced the ghost to relent control of Ichie’s body.But the story didn’t end there, Ichie herself wasn’t cooperating in the way you needed. A very stubborn gal. You wanted everyone to retreat back to your apartment since you’re all soaked in sewer water. Showers are a necessity.But she wasn’t hearing it because she’s a snobby pants and couldn’t go out there drenched and stinky (Even though you’ve seen her rummaging through garbage), the thing is you can turn people invisible, but she’s so narcissistic, she never heard your proposition until you abruptly showed her by making her hand invisible. That bluescreen’d her. Once that happened, you just grabbed and took everyone to your apartment. You were willing to carry them both, but Suan De declined, merely using your shoulder for support. She needed to touch you anyway if you all wanted to leave the building without being noticed, but you could tell she was leaning on you. She was too tired after saving everyone from the sewer geyser. It was taxing on your body, but nothing that bad.You’re all back at your apartment! All safe. All smelly. You’re glad Ruby didn’t see the hole! Phew!“Meow.” Bradford Jr. welcomes the gang. He notices the smell but doesn’t care all that much.“...Who should shower first?” Suan De expects order.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
With no other options left, you all have to leave the apartment. Craig says that he’s going to check every room in the building, he’s suspecting that this isn’t the only hidden room in the building. He’ll start with yours, so, it's goodbye for now.You propose to the hobos to go to Matilda’s dojo since it’s awfully close to here, and it used to be your base. Naturally, you give your Martial Arts Teacher a call to arrange the visit, and she agrees to it on the condition that you cook dinner. You accept, but have to do a quick store trip to get the ingredients. It doesn’t sound like she’s there at the moment, so this detour will give everyone time to get there.And yes, all the girls agreed to come over. Ichie doesn’t mind as long as she conceals her appearance (she’s wearing one of your hoodies), Suan De is curious about what this supposed Dojo looks like, and Ruby... uhm… does not want to be left alone. That simple.Eventually, the gang arrives at the dojo. You introduce everyone to your blood sister, the only one who didn’t know her is Ichie. Matilda seems to have just dropped by.“I didn’t know you two knew each other!” You had no idea that Matilda and Ruby have some story together, you don’t recall this at all.“I have run errands for everyone in your little group, Johnny.” Matilda doesn’t find it surprising if you paid attention. You thought the extent of the ‘Matilda and Osgood’ interactions peaked here when she and the others beat the shit out of him for what happened to Ajna! Good times!“Yes, we exchanged more than pleasantries a couple of times.” Ruby smiles. “I thought she would get rid of the van, silly me…” Her smile vanishes.“How’s your hobo doing, Johnny?” Immaturetilda strikes again as she asks about Suan De.Comment too long.

>>6035727“Woah! This little hut is so much nicer than what I imagined!” Ichie is impressed by the place being clean. “I’m Ichie Saionji! It’s a pleasure to meet you!”“Hello. Saionji, you say?” Matilda is less than cordial for some reason, but Ichie is too busy living in her own world to care.“Yes, the sole heir I may add!” Ichie says with a smile. By the looks of it, Matilda wants to tell you something about your newly acquired hobo.Before you can get into anything, Oliver rushes over with an expression that can only be described as panicky!“Master! You’re finally here!” The former terrorist shouts. “You brought Johnny and his pals too! Good! It’s a huge emergency!”“When is it not?” Matilda is used to this guy being all melodramatic.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>6051975From my limited perspective, it's a matter of a strong opening post + little to no character gen to get swamped in + regular updates. Get all three and you'll probably get some players.
>>6051975It's my experience that with an unknown/untested QM, a quest will get many votes if the premise is easy to understand and exciting. Thoughbsome of it is luck, too, and a goodnopening post is more likely to snag someone who gives it a quick glance. Same with an OP image: it isn't the be-all end-all, but in the fiest few days when it's building steam, a distinct and eye-catching OP is kore likpey to get curiosity clicks.

In the year 1987, crime and corruption in America is an epidemic. Drugs and guns flow into the country from everywhere in the world, and the gateway to it all is the coastal paradise, Heat City. This is a place of shining high-rises and shadowed alleys, sunsets and smog, neon and blood, ruled by ambition and greed and power. Here in Heat City, you can get whatever you want -- if you can pay the price.

Looks like you've had long enough to process things but if it wasn't clear you're dead. Whatever life it was you were living before this, it doesn't matter because it's over. I'm no Grim Reaper, and there isn't a pit of torment or a hall of infinite good feelings, just another spin of the wheel. Maybe you're familiar with something like this from the imaginations of people in your old life, but to be clear your next life is going to begin and honestly it could be like anything. Some worlds have magic, some might be just like the one you left and others might not even have multicellular organisms and normally I can't tell you which you'll end up in, but the last few went uh, badly for the reincarnated so I'm going to be more hands on this time. In any case, you won't remember me or your old life. That's not to say you're starting off as a blank slate, you'll retain this level of consciousness even if you turn out an amoeba. Why? Because it's boring otherwise.Anyway, I might as well let you choose.>Pre-industrial Fantasy>A Modern World(Thought I'd try my hand at running something again because I had that itch and I'll never learn to do well if I don't try)
>>6038458>>Ask about resources to achieve the emperor's will
>>6039200>>6039328If he has any sense he can't expect you will be able to do what he wants all on your own so you ask about what will be made available to you to accomplish this task. To your relief he answers that all that is written on these Others in the empire is yours to study as well as ritual materials, living expenses and travel expenses. As a potentially powerful servant to the Emperor, you will now be borrowing some of his authority and status while acting on his behalf, but it also means you will be closely monitored and in a sense kept on a leash if you show any sign of disobedience. It still isn't clear where the lines are drawn and may prove difficult to navigate until you get the hang of it, but you suspect your situation is not much different from the mages now.But you are welcome to live in accommodations that are slightly more luxurious than the lower level house staff for as long as you are not sitting on your hands. More specifically, you will have claim to one of the guest rooms to have to yourself, can request assistance to some degree by the staff and may dine after those of higher status have begun to eat. You will be taught matters of etiquette to avoid offending others or causing embarrassment but it's nothing unreasonable. But where to begin?>Seek sources that can tell you what the Others are>Seek sources that can tell you more about their particular sort of magic>Seek sources that can teach you more about the type of magic that is considered more normal >Write to people (who?) to learn what has happened with them since the war ended before you look any deeper into this matter of Others>Something else?
>>6039381>Seek sources that can tell you what the Others are
>>6039610You decide to focus on finding out what the Others are, and although the books within the Emperor's estate and the capital are many, you are ultimately forced to leave for other cities. Ultimately you spend months traversing Carthagos and learn from both written and oral sources to acquire as complete picture as possible. The answer you find may have given you more questions than it answered.The Others are the inhabitants of another, parallel world to this one who are known to be tricksters and terrorize largely helpless folks in their plots and games. They come in many sorts that are distinct from each other and range from helpful if properly respected to extremely hostile but most love to make deals and most you should never make a deal with. Some can be repelled or slain by substances from this world and others can be restricted by rituals but without specific knowledge one can only hope they aren't targeted. Their deals are supernaturally binding and in cases where one is able to violate the agreement the backlash from the violation can be catastrophic. Perhaps more personally interesting is that they are kin, a fact that has caused much distrust and fear as you traveled away from where you were more known. The reason for your mother's exile as you now feel certain it was are still unclear to you, but the power of their deal making magics could be reclaimed by you if you could figure out enough about them. While different matters, all things to do with the Others are related so you have gotten enough of an idea to feel certain that obtaining these magics is what the Emperor is after, but are you doing it just to survive, out of a growing loyalty to this country, or because you could avenge the slight against you and your family by turning these powers against the Others?>Seek out sites connected to the Others and try feeling out your way to understanding them and their magics>Dig deeper into sources on their deals and magics >Look into the magic of this world in hopes it will help you understand the magic of that world>Something else?Apologies for my absence, I'll probably just have to be here when I can.
