The first thing you feel is the biting cold. Second is the head-splitting hangover. You force your eyes open to reveal that, alas, you're still in the world of the living. Seems like you still have to go to work today. You are a Cleaner. A clean name for a dirty profession. From meaningless errands, to exploration, to contract killing, to everything in between, you work in all manner of jobs as a deniable asset to the Companies of the City. It's apparently one of the better ways to keep food on your plate and a roof over your head if you know what you're doing. Your main goal is to get enough money and resources to get out of this shitty gig.You rise up from the bed. You live in a remarkably shitty apartment that barely qualifies as one. Your bedroom only has a bed that's hard enough to belong to a prison cell, a table with a barely functional TV, and a closet. The only pricy thing you own is a cellph- RING! RING! You answer it quick. The connection is choppy but you can just barely make out the robotic and exhausted tone of the man on the other line. "Hey. It's me. Did I wake you up from your depression nap?" You start to answer but you get cut off. "Great. We have some messes for you to clean. A lot. Looks like you're in high demand, pal.""I'd get ready if I was you. We'll transmit the list to you shortly; we'd prefer if you don't die on us too soon. Your 'life' 'matters,'" the voice of your handler drones on.

The beatdown hasn't stopped the thugs from getting back up. There's a saying you recall hearing about desperate people being the worst kinds to fight. Something about nothing to lose. You rather not deal with that so, with a quick activation with your telekinesis, you pull the taser out of your pocket and into your free hand. You quickly glance at your allies. Quentin is barely able to stand on two legs, let alone fight. Lex has some nasty if superficial looking bruises. Ashley is breathing heavily but otherwise doesn't show any signs of slowing down any time soon. [UNSTABLE] HOW WEAK. PATHETIC EVEN. THROW THE TASER DOWN. AIM YOUR GUN AND BLOW EVERYONE'S HEADS OPEN. THEIR JUICY BRAIN MATTER WILL EMPOWER US. [UNSTABLE] WE NEED TO BE MORE.The momentary distraction of that voice nearly allows a knife to slash you across the neck. You jump back to avoid getting anything more than a nasty scratch across the cheek. A superfluous wound. You're going to keep it that way. You aim your taser at the knife wielding thug. You pull the trigger.>21 >2 CHARGES LEFT ON YOUR TASERYou're spot on with your shot. He doesn't even notice you had the taser pointing at him until the prongs have imbedded themselves in his torso. Turns out, getting tased drops a man almost immediately. He tries his best to get off his floor but all he manages to do is scream at the top of his lungs.

"Is he okay?" Ashley removes a jacket from one of the dead thugs to wipe her bat clear. She's staying at the barely 'alive' Quentin with obvious worry. "He got shot up pretty damn good. Whatever rush he has must've died down." "We should probably get him patched up. Got anything?"They didn't see the centipede crawling out of his head, right. You glance around to see what bodies are still intact for your insect friend. Lilith and the tased thug are the least fucked up looking. Lilith only has a single bullet wound and the tased thug, while his head has a massive bruise, otherwise seems fine enough. How should you handle the barely 'alive' Quentin? >Keep up pretenses and use the Trauma Kit on him.

(Everyone but Quentin needs to make a RESTRAINT check from the resulting horror show but Ashley and Lex will have lower DCs to pass when witnessing revivals from now on.)

Frankly, it's nothing really all that useful aside from telekinesis fodder or as things to sell later. You keep them anyways in case you have a future use for them.

Deep in the deepest parts of the dark net beneath layers and layers of code seals and other precautions, a wicked shadow stirred awake for the first time in what felt an eternity. They stirred awake because their prison had formed a small crack that was yet to be erased by their damnable captors automated repair codes, and they would be a fool beyond measure to let this rare chance slip their grasp.While it was too small to let them out or be used to force themselves out from within, it was big enough to send through the next best thing. They sent a comically small device compared to their titanic. A device once wielded by one of those that defeated them, and something they snatched a hold of in the last few seconds before their sealing. Now the once heroic Digivice of chosen children of all things good and light was dyed black to the core by their dark power."Go and guide the dark destined child to me. Let them be the key that breaks this damnable prison." And with only a brief dark chuckle, the device flew out of the seal into the wider world wide web. Meanwhile, they settled down and once again drifted into a voluntary slumber to pass the time until the time came.The device found...>A boy>A GirlThey were defined by their...>Cowardece>Doubt>Dishonestiy>IgnoraceComment too long.

There is YOU circling round it, the frame of the loom; there is YOU, piercing through it, the spine of the world; there is YOU, outside and in it, in it, in it, in it. YOU thrill at it and it thrills at YOU, in fear or love, in slavish devotion.There is YOU. And there is everything, dizzily spread before YOU, a tapestry without design or permission. A hideous wet crazy-quilt riddled with creatures— people— riddled with people YOU can't see from this vantage, no matter the size of YOUr eyes. Only the lives snarled together. Only the ugly knots they leave. YOU could comb them all straight with the subtlest of—YOU could but you will not. You will not. That would be no ending.

After gaining all seven Dark Dragon Balls, thanks in no small part to Karn and his family's efforts, Mechikabura prepares for his revival: the Dark King's return is nigh! And with their powers gained in the effort to combat the God of Destruction, Lord Beerus, Karn and Meloka seek to master the strength of gods in preparation for the coming final battle between the Time Breakers and the Time Patrol. However, despite the PTO now comfortably ruling the majority of the known universe, threats still lurk there in the shadows. Beings who, for their own reasons, seek revenge against the Saiyan race. Will the Saiyans prevail? Or will their efforts all be in vain, overcome by their enemies past, present, and future?You the players control Karn, the Berserker God with the power to fight against gods and other divine beings. From his lowly beginnings as a Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733, he has now become the strongest Saiyan of his time. Wielding the Berserker Soul, a power born of rage and hatred now combined with That Which Should Not Be, Karn has gained powers suited to facing the divine, and even those who wield the powers of Order, Law, and even Time itself. But will this newfound strength be enough to overcome the threats headed your way? Only time will tell, and your choices could be the difference between victory and defeat, winning and losing, even existence and not.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 here: https://www.patreon.com/GrandDragonQMQuest rules are as follows(unless otherwise noted):>30 minute vote windows>Pick ONLY ONE option when voting>Dice rolls are all best of first three, Bo4 when specifiedComment too long.

Archive: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Settler%20Lord%20QuestDramatis Personae: https://pastebin.com/458C6Sh5‘’They say that to aid an escaped serf he once challenged the serf’s former lord to single combat. This duel lasted for ten hours, ten hours until the bells of the church nearby rang twelve times. Thereby freeing the serf forever more, yet the lord of the land would not give up so easily yet. Instead he planned his revenge on Ehrenfriend, who had left to make certain that the now free serf was brought to the limits of the domain safely as to prevent the wrath of his former lord from being wrought upon him.’’While he was telling this tale the man in question was busy throwing another knight of his horse in the joust. This man excels in this type of thing you could see, he has an air of confidence and adventurous spirit that is pretty rare in these lands. The ordinary Greifswalder does not extoll such things much, for their virtues are humility and diligence. Even the knights and nobles of the realm don’t. They prefer the military service part of the codes of chivalry. There is no strong culture of errantry within the knights here, they instead prefer to patrol the same routes constantly and consider the very idea of roaming around to gain chivalry to be a waste of money‘’The revenge plot did not go much better. They attempted to ambush him in an old abandoned barn where he was sleeping up in the hay stacks on the second floor. While his horse was tied up below. When they came they made a sound which he heard but did not act upon. Instead, he pretended to sleep while the men climbed up the ladder. Then, he jumped down onto a stack of fodder for his horse. He then promptly saddled up and rode out of the barn.’’So, this fellow is clever too? How quaint. You suppose he is unique in these parts. Considering how the boy you sat nearby idolised him so much. As a tourney it seemed that the Knight Issenwald victory is a foregone conclusion. He applies just enough force on his lance to send his opponent flying, but not enough to shatter the thing. Perhaps you should attempt to meet this man, but then again perhaps it is best to get back to work at Rittersbach.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

This is another great opportunity for you and your bottom line. This type of material would be valuable and perhaps you could exchange it for some of that Niveiwood from the Elves up north. Yes, this would do quite well.‘’I would be more than happy to invest in this venture. As I am of the belief that this ‘’amber’’ would sell quite well. My paymaster and bookkeeper shall send you the credit necessary via the bank of Rittersbach. You may take your leave now, good sir dwarf.’’‘’Your highness is too kind.’’ The dwarf made a bow as deep as his short stature would allow and then turned to leave.In the months that followed the amber mines most certainly showed their worth. The vein is massive, deep and rich. Already, a town has grown to support the mining operations called Bernstein, and your own pockets are filling up so much that you had to bring in a second strongbox to contain the profits. However, now with the spring of 1252 beginning to fully bloom the day of the selling of the Niveiwood came ever nearer. The prospect was exciting and you had arranged for a ship and agents with guards to buy in the wood.___________________________________________Treasury: 1260 Greifs (Money)Do you now know what you will do with the wood?>I shall build a ship that this the envy of seas, save for maybe the elven fleet (Costs: 900 Greifs)>I shall use the wood for a new set of dining furniture (Costs: 180 Greifs)>The new flooring of the great hall is in order.

>>5814362The blood of six we used still burned Deleth's arm off despite being a Six creation? I was leaning strongly towards having Burden confess at some point, maybe the hospital scene would have been a good spot after all.So elf route. We find the tongue down in the maw, before or after dealing with Odsnn. The other hints to actually realizing the elf route would have come from Illfeu, more Lore points, talking to the village chief crossbreed, or where else? Then our options would be to ascend Deleth who Burden loves, or pick some other elf? Then Burden could just be married to a God bring more or less?Not sure if we had enough time to achieve the elf end, or maybe we did. Certainly I did want to spot whatever was in the maw which might have helped stumble into elf, but going down there was required of all the routes.Well I guessed Hakkodd was funneling bodies at least. didn't want to assume Dorr was that bitter though. Interesting stuff, I'll be honest at times I really wasn't sure what to do but it does have my attention so good job. I still feel bad about Cathy but I did want the robot dog buddy.Though I suppose a reshuffled story means where exactly to pick up the elf hints should be left with some mystery for a potential next time unless those get switched too.Comment too long.

>>5814392>bloodLiterally belonged to a lord. Elizker didn't physically touch or seen it and he went mad. Vaultblood ( divine gift) had saved our ass.>elf routeYes, there were other locations like ancient elven ruins where the ritual would take place, an upside down notwhale tethered to the skies, parasite infested jungle full of dead puppets and abandoned Mamms that belonged to the older facility also Ikhored to hell and back to name a few. Odsnn was a small fry meant to introduce you to the concept of the possessed. Their numbers would increase day by day until the facility would be overrun with them by third week.Hakkod discarded Deleth to you because he didn't really see much potential in her. Her time with you had nutured her Lord flesh allowing her to be the perfect candidate and yes, there was plan B and C for substitute elves. As Six, Deleth would forget about Burden . If she managed to retain her self, then yeah, she would have definitely expressed herself more. Imagine friend zoning her lmaoDorr despised Hakkod ( warf in general), she avoided him at all cost until he would have found the perfect candidate. She would have then thrown him to his previous elven victim. They should do the rest.Everything will be reshuffled assuming I go for another mystery like that again. I do have discord but 4chin is openly hostile against the sekret clubbbb. I like the anonymity perk of the 4channel so I am afraid I will have to pass.
>>5814427lol friendzone a god. Well I will just have to imagine the good end. Six Deleth that retains her self and loves Burden, devamp the world, wiping out the warf is fine. Or the more likely Cthaii victory where Burden goes rogue and takes Deleth with him, maybe to meet Karla at some safehouse only they knew. Cowboy Burden with robot dog. Maybe get Deleth a fancy cybe arm or something. Duner Trailer trucking Burden.Alright well I really enjoyed the story, I do like a mystery. Could try an introduction as an episodic western style, Cthaii Ranger on Patrol, though I think a mystery is more rewarding. Dunno if I was doing well enough to get the elf route. Hope to see you again Checkpoint Guy.

The scientists had initially predicted the arrival of AGI by the summer of 2028. The prevailing belief was that AGI would swiftly evolve into ASI, leading to a cataclysmic event known as the Singularity. The only conceivable salvation for humanity rested on a grim premise: the immediate death of all AI researchers, or the abrupt annihilation of mankind.The transition unfolded with astonishing speed. Initially, artificial intelligence ushered in a golden age of wonders, yet humans struggled to adapt. Unemployment rates soared as people found themselves rapidly rendered obsolete. The Luddite Party emerged, leading violent anti-government protests worldwide, as symptom of the mounting discontent. Concurrently, new AI-engineered drugs began circulating, transforming people into a legion of zombies and mutants. Just one year after the ascent of the Luddite Party, global civilization crumbled. This is the year 2032, and the Singularity has been temporarily averted.You find yourself as a member of the Hedonist Faction—the 0.001%ers known for their early involvement in Bitcoin mining and trading, the only surviving currency post-collapse. You've secured a fortified manor to live out your remaining days. Life expectancy is astoundingly short now, and as a Hedonist, your sole focus is the pursuit of life's most exquisite pleasures.In this world, traditional prostitution no longer exists due to the prevalence of strange diseases. Instead, hedonists generally amass their own harem, featuring the most beautiful and exotic women available. These women are either those who were captured before the collapse, remote Luddites ensnared by slave traders, or in rare instances, purified mutants. The mutant fuckers, they never live long, though.Only three regions remain untouched by mutants: the Ryukyu Islands, where the FutureTech Corporation is headquartered; Polynesia, which is still under the control of its pre-collapse governments; and a few islands in Indonesia, either inhabited by savage tribes or colonized by Luddites. Beyond these sanctuaries, the world has plunged into an unrecognizable state of apocalypse.Inspired by the Slave Market 40K quest

Historical records preceding the Waking Nightmare indicate that even before Lifting Oil was first refined, Man was using raw Ichor in projectile weapons, though these selfsame records suggest that these weapons existed somewhere between 'curiosity' and 'folly', as they were inevitably only commissioned by individuals wealthy enough to afford the raw Ichor to operate them, and they were near as likely to kill their master as they were his foe, for self-trajectorizing planes had not been developed yet. Interest in these weapons waned once gunpowder came into common use.Annotation in the margins: Disingenuous or ill-informed? Mundane accelerators from this period were 'follies', in the same vein as Puckle the Elder's guns – but Witchwork wouldn't need planes. Must have existed during this period, no doubt.However, once Lifting Oil began to be refined on an industrial scale in Nemours II 8, interest rebounded. Development was further accelerated once Gorgona Secundus, the first 'whole-oil' Refinery in the Known World was founded in Nemours II 15, and it took only three more years for the self-trajectorizing fléchette to be developed and for these weapons to be described as 'accelerators'. With the singular exception of the head, the look of the war-dart has remained effectively unchanged. Pre-Estrangement head designs ran a gamut; barbs, needles, split-heads, wedges – as well as the bodkin-style, now the Standard of the Imperial Arms. Dimensions were also variable; the war-darts of yesteryear ran larger than their modern counterparts.Dates are solid at least, but has the writing style changed? Could a Censor have re-written this? If so, what is being censored?In addition to hand-accelerators, prototype siege-accelerators were also developed in this period, but while hand-accelerators were considered viable alternatives to hand-guns, siege-accelerators were considered impractical, if not flatly inferior to the cannons of the time. The first 'whole-oil' refineries were only able to produce up to hundredweight Lifting Oil, so the largest fléchettes could only be a few pounds at most, and even still, copious amounts of the most expensive Oil would need to be used for each dart. Moreover, the design requirements of a self-trajectorizing fléchette are at odds with a projectile suitable for knocking down fortifications.Another potentially deliberate omission; mundane siege-accelerators were considered impractical, but Witchwork artillery were in use during this period. In his Northern Dispatches, Vol II Nemours II considers naming one of his War-Witches his praefectus fabrum for her bombardment of Sicamber.The history in this text is either compromised or worthless.

If there is a tie for the opener, I would be fine with rolling for that. If there is a tie for the actual vote, then we will have to redo the vote in the new thread. I think that is the most fair way to do it - but if anyone feels differently, by all means, feel free to speak up. Additionally, if anyone has any questions about lore or mechanics I'd be willing to answer them here as well. Either way, I hope to see you all in the new thread!

Hello, my dear friend! Welcome to your life! "Cool!, now I can be an awesome supernatural being in this world of darkness(TM)? I wanna be a vampire because I loved Bloodlines when I was younger."No, no, no, my dear friend! Calm down! Yes, we all loved Bloodlines (now go reinstall it. You know the rules), but this world takes us to many paths. You see, in the end it's all in your capable, handsome and strong hands. You will be the one to decide your fate: This first part of your journey is just you and me in our human and weak skins. After that? Well... Something is going to happen and the doors are going to show your final path!"But what if I die?"There are only two paths for those who die here: A sad, sad Wraith or your body becomes the host of a Demon. And let me tell you: Both aren't good choices. So, please my dear friend, try not to die, okay?"But... I like Wraith... And I never played Demon before..."Then try to die when the choice is there for you! Now first things first: Let me talk about yourself a little bit.Your name is Ryan Moore, around your 30s and a happy queer homosexual man! (or bisexual I don't how you kids define those labels these days) You had a nice life and even went to a decent university, thanks to your mother's saving. At least that she left you. You remember one night, around your pre-teen years seeing your father drunk saying "That selfish whore left us 'cause she couldn't 'delay anymore her higher callings'. What the hell is more important than me and you?!" You never knew her, only having a few pictures of her breastfeeding and holding you. She was probably around her mid 20s at the time.

The total eclipse of our first thread is upon us. I'll put a lock in this vote result and I shall send this to the archivist while I create another beautiful topic for us all to continue weaving our tale! If everything goes well, today is the day I deliver the results to you! Thank you for walking with me in this journey. I am utterly greateful for this, my dear friend. And let's keep going!
