Kattleya wakes up in her humble abode, a floating house in the ocean city of Nereida, with the sound of her entrance bell echoing through the wind.

"Kaaaat!" she hears a youthful voice calling for her as she yawns and walks through the house, scratching her belly with one hand as she opens the door with the other, and she's confronted with three of the local children, their faces morphed into pleading full with pouting lips and teary eyes.

"Mister Furball Two is missing again! Can you help him pleeeeease?" one girl asks, and Kat smiles as she feels her magic waking up alongside her mind. She's a [ b ]Witch[ /b ], a [ b ]Cat Witch[ /b ], and it's her job to deal with the town's problems. But first...

>"Sure, kiddos! Where have you seen him last?" (Kat is altruistic and genuinely a good person, and will help people in need to the best of her abilities just for the sake of it)

>"You guys can pay?" (Kat is opportunistic and lazy, and normally only bothers herself with things if rewards are involved)

>"He's a cat, he'll come back when he feels like it. Now, shoo!" (Kat is apathetic and antisocial, and doesn't like to bother with other people, more interested in her research — napping)

The world is flawed.
It is not imperfect though, just purposefully made that way.

Life is full of suffering and conflict, a race where the living fight to find meaning and solace, either by giving themselves and each other meaning, or by taking it from those weaker.

An unwinnable race, a race against time, a race against “The World”.
A losing battle from the moment one is born, the pure soul is slowly drained of its myriad colors, then cast away once it has been consumed.

There exists a gate beyond “The World”, and past that gate is the infinite.
A cold and unfeeling infinity, impartial and silent, an infinity where despite the existence of suffering, you witnessed the radiance of all souls of all ages.

So you, [????], decided to bring “This World” into the infinite.
Not for anyone in particular, you… don’t exactly have many people you care about to begin with, not out of resentment for the life you had to live, after all that’s just how life in this world is.
Simply because you felt like things should be as they are beyond the Gate.

She's working on unlocking intangible things while you're making weapons, she's also an axis too low to get any real enlightenment... That said, she may have a bonus somewhere from this but you'll have to find out where it is.

Since you mentioned [fire rebirths and settles into earth] I made the initial step have fire, as birth is needed for "rebirth" to have any meaning... The 1 fucked everything up anyways heh heh heh.

”Jinwu, Why did you fail?”


You ask the girl, who responds with a harrumph as she turns around again, you have half a mind to keep walking around her until she drills a hole in the emerald, but you don’t know each other enough to justify such teasing, she may take it as you insulting her when you don’t mean to.


”Don't pout at me, I'm not criticising you… The first step to finding the answer is figuring out what went wrong so we can do better. Walk me through the thought process, the Vermillion Bird is reborn in the flames exactly so it can avoid dying the same way twice.”


”I’m not pouting! And besides, what does the physical world even mean? Don’t give me a ‘Oh just feel it it’s easy’ argument, I’m not buying it. ”
”No one says it’s easy, if it were then you would see way more core formation cultivators out there, now what was your approach?” You press further to get an answer out of her, the less time she can spend upset the better.

”...You hear me? No one in Qian dares talk to me like this, consider yourself luck-” ”I have an idea.” You interrupt the young lady and give her no time to dictate the pace again, giving her a gist of your idea, she quiets down after hearing you out.


”Care to try?” You ask, and she takes a little time before answering ”...Okay.”


The two of you prepare all the materials required, fortunately there is a piece of abandoned furniture that had been painted red, some water, one of the metal orchid’s petals and sand. You do an initial demonstration, taking time to explain the process and reasoning behind each one of the steps as Jinwu listens intently, once you’re done you make sure she is able to make a suitable tower, which is what takes the longest to do as she is not knowledgeable about Feng Shui and you’re not the best at it either.


If you can take anything from this so far is that at the very least this practice has helped her relax a bit, she doesn’t look stressed like she usually is.


”I’m starting.” You nod in acknowledgement to not interrupt her focus, and she lights up a small piece of wood.

You see a different kind of transformation cycle after every attempt, that of Jinwu’s expression alternating between a nervous wreck and ice cold focus. Failure, contemplation, adjustment, failure, contemplation, adjustment. Her movements eventually become natural and the ritual is perfected, she speaks her understanding after each failure, which progresses and is deeper and more eloquent, her senses and yours dictating that this should be the final attempt, the enlightenment is within the palm of her hands so why is it that she can’t grasp it!?


The firestick in her hands is completely burned down and carried away by the evening winds, leaving her no option but to stop. She turns her back to you and walks into the building, her dejected silhouette looking even smaller than usual.


The heart devil speaks once more “She IS hopeless, and you keep denying it. Enlightenment is still enlightenment, even if it isn’t earned with one’s own hands, just do it.”

Everyone loves mister bean

Your name is Johan, no last name given. Although you had to admit that self-nomenclature was of little import at the moment.

Especially now that you were in such a surreal landscape, one that was ever shifting and turning. It was a place were neither day nor night reigned--yet both divided their realms in the sky in an almost perfect line. What remained of the moon brightened your way in spite of this paradox; the newly minted stars speckled the sky like... well, stars.

On the subject of the heavenly bodies, the moon itself was shattered in the sky, bleeding out a waterfall of clear-dark liquid onto the mountain that it was closest to. The theater that was once proudly upon it was in shambles, barely recognizable. These three changes were, somehow, direct consequences of the actions of your lover. You intended to speak with her about that later, preferably after you all stop running for your lives.

The once strange and twisting town, placid as it also once was, was now slowly inundated with a deluge of moon-water, overwhelming the streets and alleyways until merging with the ocean. Said sea rose into the ports and piers and made the canals overflow. Market stalls were extricated by the water's force and slowly drifted away, roads became slick with a dark tinted water, buildings became flooded. But oddest of all was that the winding, changing, shifting and almost living town had now gained a semblance of stagnancy despite being overwhelmed by a flood.

Two people tailed behind you: Jeremy keeping a steady pace while Mimi was quickly catching up to you. While Jeremy was a good friend and a decent enough fellow in your eyes, though to be fair you'd only known him for less than half a week, Mimi was the person most close to you. And she was your aforementioned lover. While the idea of having a girlfriend was something you never really considered in your mind (at least not in a conscious level) there was definitely some romantic tension the two of you shared with each other. Now that you thought about it, it was mostly at Mimi's insistence and assertion to be close to you that served as the catalyst to the relationship. At the very least, that strange aversion and frustration you held towards mimes was slowly being eroded, thanks to her.

Your name is John James Green, mutant vagrant, and you love your cute mutie girlfriend.

You recognize that there’s a part of you that loves her the way a person might love a rare gemstone, and that part of you is getting harder and harder to ignore… but then you look past her and see why you really adore her. She’s a beautiful person. Not just her sleek hair, green eyes, and amazing lips. But her soul. You know it’s corny, but it’s true. You don’t think you ever felt this way before, not even with Victoria. Victoria was comforting, relatable, but Laura is… like a support beam you didn’t know you were missing. It’s for that reason that when she asks you to tone it down, you promise to do your utmost and seal the promise with a peck on her forehead.

“I’m sorry. I’ll try to be more careful in the future. I promise. I’m just glad you’re not angrier at me. Aren’t you the least bit peeved?”

Laura thinks it over for a moment. “No.”

Much as you dislike tussling with things in the dark, Vlad’s got a point. Whatever’s down there might make its way up here. You gotta take care of it.

“There any chance we have an RC car with some kind of camcorder?” you ask.

Vlad simply shrugs.

“It was worth a shot. I’ll see what I can do about it.” You answer, “But just in case, go tell Laura where I am, yeah?”

“One hundred percent, man, count on me.”

“Good man. If I don’t make it, she gets all my stuff.”

You take your first steps into the tunnel and feel your irises switch your vision to infrared, making sure to open your ears wide for any noises around you. Your hearing has gotten so sharp that you can still hear the pipes underground where water and gas carries, sounding out like rivers contained in super long vases. The creaking of the underground infrastructure seems almost timed to a beat.

The familiar scents hit you first. The last time you were down here, you were surrounded by that cloying stench of must and disuse. Then there was that timorous thing… you’d prefer not to reminisce. The tunnels stretch down into the dark, and your perception makes it seem like a yawning blue portal, with occasional flecks of red dotted movement and the sound of skittering paws. When you come up on a rat, you ask it what’s been going on.

How are we doing this?

Votes are tallied every hour on the dot.

You have three basic Approaches that function as a base for your character's strengths and weaknesses when facing problems, represented after the three Noxian principles.

MIGHT — Strength, vigor, health, constitution, resistance, resilience, brutality, violence, combat.
GUILE — Dexterity, agility, precision, charisma, stealth, persuasion, illusion, deception.
VISION — Will, perception, magic, occult, intellect, knowledge, wisdom, strategy.

To perform a roll you just have to roll 2d6, plus whatever points you have in the most appropriate Approach for what you're trying to do.

2-5 - Failure — Suffer all of the appropriate consequences.
6-9 - Complication — The action is partially successful. Something goes wrong in the process.
10+ Success! — The action succeeds without problem. The higher the better!

Mars. Shattered terraforming spikes encircle habitats half-buried in chlorate sands. A wan sun peaks through an skyline veiled behind drifting dust.

Your pilots stir, stretching pale limbs against the tug of centrifugal gravity. The mission briefing pulses in your mind like an imprint.

"Both MOCA and GCC dont want this Arcology gone. Strategically MOCA cannot allow the plague to spread even more, GCC cannot lose an Arcology without even putting a fight, or at least without having evac GCC personnel."
"This is an occasion for us to destroy two terrain processor units, a decent strike against the plague. More importantly the entire Arcology is at risk. Two TPUs are more than enough for the Plague to force it self inside and swarm it."
"The GCC will play defense only for sometime, and will bother evac only their own. Countless martian kin are at risk. There is only one option for us."

Darkness, to Ninety-Nine the absence of light mattered little to her, not when she could see fine regardless of the environment. A lot of time has passed since she was ordered to wait in the Hunting Grounds. Ninety-Nine’s tail held on to a thick branch as she hung upside down. She wondered why the chaplain took so long when he was never late for training.

“Bah… I’m so bored.”

Then it struck.

From the shadows, deep within the artificial jungle, a whisper of a bolt rang ever so softly. The bolt hit her chest, knocking her off the balance. Ninety-Nine’s hips twisted and her feet aimed for the floor first. The wet mud squelched underneath Ninety-Nine’s weight. Her tail lifted up and her eyes opened wide.

Enemy, no… Battle-masters, that was a bolter.

The vox intercom throughout the jungle crackled before it spoke.

“Your new test, Ninety-Nine. You have faced xenos of various size and hunting methods, now it’s time to face the most dangerous killers, astartes. Your goal is to engage in a mock battle and win.”

Her experience against her battle-masters were limited, with few engagements against traitors and in sparring. In a mock engagement? Not once. Ninety-Nine head tilted to the left, then to the right, she did not hear the familiar weighty footsteps of the battle-master’s armors.

With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.

You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier 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 over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power. Wielder of the Berserker Soul, and the powerful Stand Divine Dragon Force, you're fully equipped to handle any threat that comes your way. But what will you do when the threats aren't always physical, when you can't simply punch all your problems away?

He could be behind it. Or another group, one who's been on the fringes of the time conflict since it's inception and their fighters have been accused of being of one side or the other.
If someone were hiding, Broly or Kori would have probably sensed them. Hopefully. But it's a sticky situation.
>>6367863
Manipulators be manipulating.
Yes. LER, while powerful, gets the most impact for the simplest fate to overwrite. And its strongest ability is its power to tell Fate "NO".
Yes. And yes again, thanks for pointing the wrong names out. I'll be typing one sentence, my mind on something completely else occasionally and the wrong name gets put down. Was really good about that lately too.
Bingo. There are too many variables. And the intermissions/epilogues, at least those visibly connected to the main plot, will be a bit more open-ended like this one was for awhile. Don't want to spoil the surprises you don't know IC, after all.
If the mind control/trance ability goes that strong, it will be impressive and hard to counteract. Without a direct negation of the ability, like Towa's messing in Karn's head to make him un-mind-controllable, or King Cold's wish for the same for himself and his sons.
>>6367866
I should clarify for everyone OOC, the way the technique works is by combining everyone PRESENT's minds together, if forms that sort of umbrella. Like a smaller ki being dwarfed and hidden by a larger ki, only someone with specialized skill with telepathy or with mutant-tier exceptional ability can reach them.

Maz and Kayle (especially), Tastu and Tomi. A lot of the new developments with Maz and Kayle have been locked behind the Patreon. I know that they have new powers due to some sort of new affiliation with Caulifla and her divinity. But I have no idea what those powers actually are, what their role / relationship with Caulifla is, etc. At this point, they're almost DLC kids, rather than main-story children of Karn

You’re ANTON PEAS: mild-mannered frycook, stage magician, extradimensional tourist, and now a mafioso mulcher!

You heard right! Life’s been a whirlwind ever since you woke up in ZORAL: a fantasy world shrouded in perpetual darkness. There’s your fuzzy memories, of course, not to mention the fact that your gun-crazy ex-girlfriend LIZ somehow found her way in after you! Oh, and let’s not forget how your soul’s being held hostage by the eponymously-named RED: an archdevil who–in return for the demonic power you inadvertently pilfered on your arrival–wants you to slay THE FOUR LORDS OF ZORAL: a rogue’s gallery of godlike tyrants, monsters, and all-around persons of low moral fiber!

Thankfully you’re not alone… you’re more popular than ever, in fact! There’s TZAH-TZIE, of course: your feisty ladyfriend and a brash bard, VOLKA: Grand Marshall of a neighborhood safety group called THE LAMPLIGHTERS whose kindness is only matched by her dizzying size, MOROOK: a quiet, but competent ranger and Volka’s half-brother, REZALITH: once a fearsome foe, now one of your most powerful–and loyal–allies, OTI: skilled sorcerer with a chip on his shoulder, and TOPPEL: a manic mage with a penchant for less-than-ethical experiments and running into trouble!

Your arrival in UMBERAL: the gem of the North and self-proclaimed ‘City of Tomorrow’ was anything but uneventful. Despite being watched by the cold, unyielding gaze of ARCHMAGE TRIER: one of the many lords on your death docket, Umberal is also well-known for being home to the infamous SPICE CARTEL: a criminal enterprise whose reach spans all of Zoral… and maybe even beyond!

Well, it did, anyways. In search of ways to defeat the aforementioned archmage, your search inevitably led you to cross paths with the cartel, along with their leader, VHALE NESSURMOS--Tzah-Tzie’s ‘betrothed’ and Five-Star jerk! The feud reached its breaking point when he and his lackeys kidnapped your favorite catthing, and in a climactic clash in the cartel’s compound you managed to not only best Vhale and reclaim your girlfriend, but also acquire NOTES on how to defeat the seemingly-invincible archmage!

The battle may be won, but the war is far from over: Vhale’s lieutenants may not be as dead as you hope, and their troops won’t forget the blow you struck any time soon! Not to mention you’ve got an appointment with TRIER at dawn whether you like it or not! For now, however, all you can do is sit back, relax, and watch as your spunky Spinner’s concert comes to a close!

Ears still ringing from the bardic brawl’s aftermath, THIS is where your tale continues…

The maze + Trier fight! I thought it was creative, and properly epic.

I like your style, and don't think I have any comment here, really.

I am deeply curious about Anton's memories at this point, and I am also eager to see more of the Starcloak organization...
>Happen next
Anton will make new friends and buddies and pals :3
>Fav character
Anton! He is the character that makes me laugh the most. Really enjoyed his banter with the Starcloak council, in particular, I read them in the voice of the council of nibblers from Futurama LOL
>Least fav
That's mean I won't say
>Other questions
What are some of the inspirations for Zoral and it's various species? Where do the outlandish spellings come from? It reminds me of Jim Henson stuff, specifically Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

Thanks for the kind words--I know it isn't always giggles and gags, but I'm glad my spergery manages to brighten up your day a little! Genuinely appreciate it, man.

>Inspiration
Obviously it's hard to nail down without contaminating people's images of the characters and locales (honestly I really like seeing what people imagine the races/areas are like either written or drawn or otherwise), but I do have a few inspirations that I come back to.

When I was younger I played Elder Scrolls: Morrowind religiously. I'd played Ultima, Fable, Baldur's Gate, etc, but Morrowind stuck with me not just because it was well-made, but because playing it for the first time blind is... well, it's like being whisked away to a whole other world. It's not just wolves and pine forests and goblins--Morrowind is just completely and utterly alien from its environments to its flora/fauna and even its food! The cities are unique, the world is MASSIVE, and all-in-all it was a life-changing experience. I was FLOORED when I tried to make sense of it all--and that's what I kinda imagine when writing Dark Quest. That, Rayman 2, the Oddworld Series, and this game called Arx Fatalis definitely shaped a few things.

As for critters, I'll admit I was inspired by a few things--Dark Crystal and Morrowind for sure, but I also took some inspiration from Star Control 2 (great game if a little dated) and the old D&D Monster Manuals my uncle had growing up. Take a look at 'em some time--they're WEIRD!

Lastly, the spelling: since Anton's able to comprehend most languages due to his weird 'gift', I kinda chickened out on stuff. That said, I try to attribute certain things in the quest to specific 'languages'--certain critters like Tiijheks (mimicking flying cunts from a few threads ago) come from Skogese whereas Niiski (tentacle boar things) and Aakusi come from Durhish (Durher language) since those pricks came from the forests, mainly. There's a few other examples, but long story short it's a lot of BS and a little imagination, but adding in some local flavor, whether it's food or fauna, makes for a much better fantasy setting if ya ask me.

Anywho, thank you again for asking! Still don't have a date for the next thread, but I figure it'll be up by next week. Thread ain't going anywhere til' then, but yea.

Thanks for running the game Bones.
I haven't been regularly voting since the captcha became cock and ball torture,
but I still read the thread every day.
In fact, this is the only thread I still read on this forsaken sight.
What I'm trying to say is that there must be heaps of other lurkers appreciating your work.

>What was your favorite part of Thread 8?
The Starcloak trial.
>What could be improved in the future?
I still hold that loosing is fun.
>Who/what do you wanna see more of in the next thread?
Rezzie, even tho TT is still best girl.

I guess the next thread will dedicated to a double-siege?

Hey, glad to hear it! Thanks for reading and the kind words.

>How do you not get burned out, whats your secret?
The short answer is I DO get burned out. All the time. I got burned out writing Bones, burned out writing Slice, and to be quite honest there have been bits of Dark Quest where I've contemplated just calling it. Still do.

Burnout is part of the process, I think. If all you do is writewritewritewrite you're gonna see that creative spark dim a bit. Granted that shit is necessary for quests--how else are you gonna get past the hard parts without writing, right?--but anyone who says they don't get burned out is lying, full stop.

I try to write things I enjoy. Characters, jokes, story elements. It's a stupid non-answer, I know, but everything I write is a product of love, even if it's stupid in practice or contrived. Simply put, I write because I enjoy it and I enjoy what I write, but ultimately even in the best circumstances I DO still get tired. I DO still have second thoughts. Excitement for what you're writing can only take you so far.

So I try to balance things a bit. I like to go outside, I play video games, I read, I watch stuff. The best advice I can give is that /qst/ is slow--GLACIAL, in fact--so taking a day or two off when you need it is crucial to give your brain the time it needs to relax.

It's a slippery slope, of course--sometimes you take a break and it lasts forever. That said, some of my better ideas have only come to me when I've stepped away from the quest for a bit to percolate a little. It's a lot like going to the gym--you need to let your muscles rest a bit and build up again or you'll never see them grow.

Anyways, there's a long, meandering answer to your valid question. I do get burnt out--definitely very burnt out right now, in fact--but the best advice I can give is to remember why you started writing in the first place: what did you enjoy about it? Players should like playing, obviously, but at the end of the day the QM should have fun with the process too.

Why does no one react to her?

I was just calmly sitting by the campus fountain, when I saw a young woman walking around. She frequently kept looking around, her arms tightly crossed and firmly pressed against her chest. Even from here I could tell that she was cold, which wasn’t surprising given the fact that she was nude. At first I thought that it was a dare of some kind, but then I saw that no one even acknowledged her presence. I could’ve believed that some people would ignore her, but it made no sense that this many people would ignore her on a place as crowded as here.

I saw her walking up to a girl intensely reading her textbook, as she put her hand between the reader and the text.

No reaction.

She jumped in front of two guys, wildly waving her arms to attract their attention.

No reaction.

She boldly stepped behind a college professor and whispered something in her ear.

A reaction at last, one that both surprised the professor and scared the woman. The young lady almost shrunk into herself while grabbing the skin just below her throat, while the professor only kept looking around to find the origin of the whispering.

Welcome back for the struggle of our species!

The concept of this questline is simple: on the first phasis, (You) evolved the biology of a Xenos species of 40k, the Under Hunter.
Under Hunter current sheet : https://pastebin.com/tKCdQ6Vt
On the second phasis, a few players played their own Civ builder.
https://pastebin.com/LLBm1mjj

Those provide contest but are not mandatory for play. If you want to catch up :
https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=40k+Minor+Xenos+Quest

Now, we are back in The Crack... And we'll play an influent individual!

This quest will be about one particlarly influent individual, and her fate that will shape Hunterkind forever :
Easy difficulty - winners of the Tribe Age
>A BurningGrass military leader and her unification of Hunterkind through military conquest

It has been 100 years since ancient beings, known as the Old Ones, walked the Earth with their two strong feet. Now they are gone and we animals now rule the remains that they left behind. With our new knowledge of sword and sorcery, we were able to survive in peace for a while, but then came the three factions.
The Apes: Strong giants, claiming to be as just as the old ones and believe they should be the ones to rule over the new world.
The Pigs: An intellectual but slothful group who wish to rule the world with an iron hoof and remain kings while the others remained as dumb animals.
Then there the Lizards: A fast and large group that want to set the world a blaze. Trying to forget the harsh past that the old ones left.
All three sides wishing to go war and destroy one another to bring in what they believe to be true peace.
But, unbeknownst to everyone, there was another group. One that was trying their best to find a way to heal everyone. To bring back order.
You found it.... and now you are taking care of it.

A D&D Homebrew Adventure.

The paladin nodded once more.

"Just so, your majesty. Next, of major importance is the discoveries my party has made while delving into the Old One ruins. We discovered a...technology company, of the old age, called...Xenarus. The ruins were guarded by a soulless intelligence called 'AI', as well as deranged golems made entirely of steel that pose as harmless shopkeepers, but can burrow through meters of rock, earth, steel and concrete. They fight by strangulation and powerful thunderwave spells, guarding vaults of untold wealth and technology. In these ruins, we discovered the truth of the old ones, the fall of their civilization, and the nature of how the draconians, whom we know as the lizards, came to be intertwined with theirs."

Mog paused, to gather his thoughts. He intended to reveal much of what they knew about the ancient past, without revealing Maggie or the other humans in their midst. Ideally he'd pin all their knowledge that they'd gleaned from various sources onto their one dungeon delve, shortly after meeting Maggie. It gave more credence to the truth, than the real scattershot method of how they actually came to possess all this info, the talks with the rabbit tribes, Swift, the various humans, Arsene, Superman, the video in the bunker, Lincoln, etc.

Having grounded himself in what to do, he continued...

Part (1/2)

We usually end here, so I'll stop for now. Are you free tomorrow? I'll continue then, and hopefully post my speech, and then we can wrap up. If not, like I said, I'm not available this Thursday, but it turns out I will be free the Thursday after this one, the 30th. I was worried the thread would drop off the board, but taking a look at page 10, we actually have another 20 or so days before we have to worry about that.

Ah, darn. Unfortunate. I'll see you on the 30th then, or if you can't make it then, then on the 29th, or the week after that if you can't make either of those dates.

Stay safe buddy.

Welcome back.

Rules are simple: Votes are tallied every hour, with whatever course of action being the most popular being the course of action taken. Write ins are encouraged and non-mutually exclusive votes will be combined if possible.

When a roll is called for, roll however many D100 are specified. 5- is a 'crit fail' and generally means something bad is about to happen. 95+ is a 'crit success' and generally means something good just happened. a 'crit success' trumps a crit fail. User input on both will be taken into consideration.

Once per thread, if three or more people invoke it, a single roll may be re-rolled.

You're tempted to grab Waterfall, since Euphrates would be a terror with that move when she evolves, but there's another move you settle on instead, since it'll benefit more of your team.

Jacky snorts when she sees your choice.

"Ironic." She notes with a smirk.

"Glad you didn't have that while we were down there." Gareth says. "...Please don't use that while we're caving." He adds with a pained wince.

"Don't worry - I won't." You assure as you tuck the copy of TM 26 into into your own TM case.

The year is 5 AB (After Bloom), and you live in what is now called Biltmore City, a community of survivors settled in the ruins of the historic Biltmore Estate in Western North Carolina.

The year was 2009, and the time was 3:31:54 AM EST on Friday, April 10th when The Bloom occurred. In the span of 12 minutes and 49 seconds, the entire Earth experienced a super-rapid forestation of all terrestrial surfaces.

Trees erupted from the ground and into full maturity, regardless of any manmade materials present - asphalt roads were obliterated, buildings were toppled, and underground structures were perforated with roots. All human infrastructure was rendered essentially inoperable and unsalvageable due to the density and ubiquity of the trees. Some areas burst instead into fields of exotic flowers, and buildings or vehicles therein were merely engulfed by vines, instead. In many other places freshwater springs surfaced inexplicably, generating ponds, creeks, or even rivers.

The biodiversity of this perpetual forest defies common logic. Banyans, alders, acacias, eucalyptus, olives, and towering sequoias can all be found inside of the same ten acres, regardless of geographic location, sometimes twice or three times their 'natural' size. Animal life appeared in much the same manner, out from behind trees or from warrens revealed by new roots, equally diverse and at home in all locales. Lions now prowl the slopes of what were the Rocky mountains and pythons hang from the branches of magnolia trees in the now forested Siberian steppe.

The most devastating element of The Bloom, however, was what it did to the human population.
