Don't Go Into The Forest. It was the Law, gospel, and a warning she had been given since she could walk. The Forest was a hundred yards from her village and had only one path disappearing into it's tall thick trunks. Two or three times a year a caravan teeming with guards would emerge from the thick branches and bring necessities that the village couldn't acquire on their own. No one else was allowed to even approach the edge of the forest. But kids will be kids, won't they?
It is the distant future: all remaining humans are in deep-frozen sleep. Their caretakers and the caretakers of the universe are the robotic warrior-poets called Panzersöldners.
Chapter 1: I want to be just like my dad when I grow up.
and so the epic game of rock, paper, scissors; commences
I studied the basics of shape shifting under my mother before setting out to refine my technique. What kind of animals did I study over the years? Pack Hunters I studied the way wolves hunt together and how their numbers whittle down their prey. As a result I have mastered taking the shape of a wolf but more significantly I have developed an experimental technique that could potentially allow me to separate into up to three separate entities. Prey Watching the behavior of mice, and other small creatures has shown me the value of a light step and sharp senses. Careful examination of pelts has also inspired me to practice shifting the colors and textures of my skin in order to blend in with the environment. Primordial Beasts There were once creatures who have survived in a time before humans were born on this earth. Terrifying feathered beings armed with incredibly long claws and unusual limbs. What little I know of these creatures has been gleaned from obscure books and carefully preserved bones. The forms that I can transform into are powerful but cannot be mistaken as any local wildlife.

I could taste the blood in my mouth as I ran. That disgusting, sharp copper taste let me know that I was still going in the thorn-lined maze of the world between home and Faerie. As my lungs began to burn, I could feel the points of the thorns pulling on my skin. It might have hurt, but not as much as staying behind would have. The brambles wanted me to stay with them, entangled for the rest of time in the madness of the world they bordered. My desire was greater. Tumbling head-first out of some door in the tangle of green, I managed to slam my self headfirst into some mirror in an attic. It was like I had been born again and thrust back into a place I no longer understood. Just how long had I been gone? Where was I? What was I? >What is this?

Your name is Winterfrost. You are a young wolf currently traveling on your own. As is tradition with the packs in your area, on your first birthday you have been banished from your packlands to make your own way. Once you have proven your worth and survived on your own for a year's time, you will be able to return home and branded as a full adult of your pack. You have been traveling south for three days now and you're getting kind of hungry. What will you do?

Whisper's Ascent: Part 1 -- Life at the Bottom
Your name is Eric Cambell, and you recently started playing the most amazing game. It doesn't really have a name, it's simply called "The Game" by the other players. You only started to play a few weeks ago. You had been out hunting in your usual spots in New York, and had only just put the finishing touches on your latest bit of artwork when you found yourself very suddenly elsewhere. The room was large, and you were sitting in a chair around a large conference table. At first you worried, the blood still stained your hands and your knife was still visible, but it was soon made clear that despite their being other people seated around the table none of them could see you. You supposed that appeared just as shadowy and indistinct as they seemed to you. It was just a few seconds before the shouting began,questions like "Who are you people", and "Where are we? Why can't I get up!" started back and forth between the confused group. You choose to remain silent. Then the large double doors at the end of the room (had they always been there?) opened and a tall, thin man stepped inside. Apparently it was raining out as he shook a wet umbrella off and placed it by a coat rack. "Hello, everyone. I suppose you are wondering why I've gathered you here" he said with a slight southern draw? More shouts from the others, some in anger, others confusion. The man waved them down. "I assure you, all will be answered in due time. First let me congratulate you on being selected to participate in the greatest event this millennium" the man shouted with a flick of his wrist. He smiled and said "I have many names, but you may call me The Game Master!" Suddenly he was on the other side of the table. "I have chosen you for this game based on your unique personalities and skill sets. You see, what I offer is literally only limited by your imaginations" he said. The Message too long.

The past few days have been exhausting, to put it mildly. Between beating thieves in the head with rocks, collecting delinquent taxes with an ex-lady knight, getting almost abducted by some weird caravan, making friends and then losing them almost immediately, making new friends to help with the loss of the older ones, and getting an actual job, you haven't had as much time to think to yourself as you used to. Then again, most of your previous thoughts were constantly of how hungry you were and you didn't have the luxury of having a "life" to keep you preoccupied with things other than that. You remember, as you look at the unfamiliar blanket laying on you, that you're staying in Kurush's house, but only until that creepy caravan leaves town. Your head's a little muddled, like you've been sleeping for ages, but you want to make the best of the day. Your name is Clovis and you are fourteen years old.

You wake up in your college dormroom. It is quiet. There is no sound, no light, aside from the light coming in from the window, and no signs of anyone else. You can't remember what happened last night, or the night before, or the night before. All you know is that you go to college. You are a male, about 6 feet tall. You have dark brown hair and wear glasses. You don't feel tired at all, but you also do not feel awake. You would think that after waking up, you would at least have to pee. But it literally feels like nothing. All you can feel are the bedsheets that cover your body. To your left, you have your wardrobe, your desk, and your laptop. There are no decorations, and no signs of trash or debris. What time was it? What day was it? Your mind feels hollow and you can't place your finger on any memories.

Hi! I'm from /tg/ and not only do I like the slower pace of this board but I really like the people here! I've got this quest I was working on from the /tg/ board and I'm going to post a link to the archives AND recap everything that happened there for everyone. It'll be slow because I'm also trying to redraw EVERYTHING to start out with so that I can more easily move things along instead of drawing a whole bunch and then wearing myself out. I'll still be drawing during the quest but I'm just hoping I won't have to do a ton of work. I'm not the best artist in the world but I'm trying so if something is super off feel free to let me know. Also I'm not very sure of myself so long drawn out text walls. But here's the first one.

Ruins and ancient tombs make ready lairs and nests for all manner of creatures. This results in many would-be heroes seeking out forgotten valuables that may rest deep in the darkest recesses of these places, then subsequently dying and adding more to the pile. This cycle ensures any given dungeon is almost never devoid of riches to be plundered and the stories of those who enter to find their fortune inspire more potential fodder adventurers. A life of riches and adventure or a dusty pile of bones for some other adventurer to pick through in passing. There is no middle ground. Which will you be?

It been a day since the announcement from the government that had basically damned every breaker in the nation to being hunted by everyone else. Already there were reports of riots occurring in major cities across the nation, in no small part to the panic caused by the very idea that people can warp reality at will. It can't help but be noticed by you and your crew however, that most of those riots are occurring in the east. Most likely D7 stirring up trouble. Everywhere else just seems to be in a state of shock, uncertain what to do, although the panic is slowly spreading. Thankfully, even without orders from you, your organization is already actively helping to calm the panic by taking any breakers it can find and taking them to safety, and barring that, warning them against using their powers. At least until you can come up with a plan. Which is what the hastily put together strategy meeting is for. You assembled in a conference room scrounged up from somewhere, and all of the inner circle is here, talking quietly amongst themselves while you brood on things in your head. Everyone here was someone who'd received a... what had the doc called them? Reminders. They'd received a Reminder from you, a focus you'd tuned and handed over to them to keep hold of. some wore them openly, like Cass and Aria. Others preferred to hide it away, as Elizabeth and Chris did. You find your attention drawn to each in turn, noting things that had changed over the past few months. As always, Cass is the first one to garner your attention, and despite her protests to the contrary, her life is improving in leaps and bounds. Over the past few months, her suddenly highly protective, if no less violent, personality, has polarized a lot of people around her, either they came to love her or hate her.

As a denizen of the deep cities, you've spent your entire life in a known environment. Everywhere you've ever swam, slept, and lived has long been found, explored, and mapped by countless Mer before you. In spite of this, or perhaps because of it, you've always been fond of the whole notion of adventuring. As such, much of your free time has been spent wandering and exploring to the best of your abilities. You've never found anything of importance. But this. This.

A single drone snaps into existence above a small planet. Nestled into the sweet spot that exists at just the right distance from the sun, this particular system had been one of the last lost to the invaders. The last bastion of hope. And it had fallen, just as quickly as all the others. Now, though, after two decades of waiting. Two decades of preparation. Humanity would set forth to reclaim what had been lost. The drone spun lazily on its course, descending rapidly before settling itself into orbit above the planet. It was the herald of humanity's return. As it arrived at its final destination, its task done, the drone sent out a single signal, back across the endless voids of space to the massive fleet waiting in the closest system.

In a certain fledgling universe, on certain desert planet, a husk of a man just began his quest to free himself from the approximately two hundred thousand years of torture he calls his life.

"I've heard you're one of the Lunatics," says Ranier the Eel, "and on behalf of the city I need you to do me a minor favor regarding that bunch." I'm just about the only Velesian living in the cavern-city of Suncove, so he must have singled me out. He can see my tail thrashing in nervousness as I look up at him. Ranier, the city militia captain, is said to have ears everywhere. Favors, contacts. I mutter something non-committal and he goes away, having made his "request". I'm left there in my hole-in-the-wall shop, alone, suddenly questioning my vow to make this life more interesting than my last one. My name is Mallow Roseson. I face north each morning and pray to Lord Veles. But since I left home I'm out of range of His Trees of Souls, so if I die here, that's it. Great Oak and my village by Lake Fortitude both wanted me to stay because of my skill with the Weave. Said it was my patriotic duty to the race. Nuts to that! I do want to help the race, but if anything I'm doing my people more good by living here in human lands, being a proper citizen, than by weaving spells in a city full of other Velesians. I've been trying both to get rich quick and to not offend anyone. That meant joining the Lunatics, a social club for merchants and tradesmen. They've gotten a bit political lately, what with increasing interference by the politicians of Griffin Keep against Suncove's own Duke Gaubert. I'm sure their grumbling isn't important though. Oh, who am I kidding? I keep gnawing on ideas as though there are voices in my head, for how to handle Ranier's favor: spy on my friends and colleagues. Their next meeting is in a week. What should I do about that? OOC: I'm new at this and have basically no visual art skill! Critique and forgiveness appreciated.

The twins are… coping with the death of their mentor and the rest of the expedition. Veechy’s taken to the bar and started speaking to passing travelers, merchants, mercenaries, and even beggars.

Alia is alternating between translating the papers we removed from the ruins and sulking in bed. Both of the twins are planning something in furtive whispers between each other but they don’t seem to be in the mood to share their thoughts with me. Those ruins have me concerned though, I’ve never seen active constructs in all 40 years I spent down here.

In the openly corrupt province of Sunwine Veechy kept an ear to the ground to find the right judges, ministers, and officials to bribe for relative safety from the predatory nobility. In order to survive off of what was found in the ruins Veechy needs to find a new patron interested in Deep Elf ruins. Alia A genius when it comes to translating the arbitrary dialects of ancient documents.

-"Excuse are you all right" -"It's seems to me that you'r dosed off for moment there..." -"You look very tired... hard day at work?" -"I see... oh... who am I, heh" -"My name is not important (it ether way too long to remeber) and and I'll be your waiter tonight"
Once upon a time, in a strange, distant land, there was a modest little island in the middle of the sea. On this modest little island was a modest little kingdom known as “Talefall.”

Warm felicitations, (Brother/Sister) and welcome to our table! Sit where ever you like; room for you will be made. It's been so long since we've had an addition to our Clan, I expect the whole family is quite anxious to meet you. Please, come with me, and I'll Introduce you. Before I do, and you'll have to forgive me, but I'm a little short of sight. You see, before a relative is inducted as a full-privileged member... Well, you could be anything, really. The possibilities of youth are quite blinding. Do you mind giving me some form or image to look upon? a: Accept and describe yourself b: Accept but decline to define yourself c: Other (write-in.)

This quest will be updated as fast as I can draw the updates(Think Lagotrope speed). The building has been under siege by the police for almost 2 days. Several shots have been exchanged between police and the suspect in the building. The suspect has already shot several police and SWAT officers and should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. Three SWAT teams are minutes away from breaching the building. You are in Element A which has fast-roped onto the roof by helicopter. Elements B is breaching the front entrance and Element C is breaching the rear entrance, both on the bottom floor. You have just finished Looking under the door with your snake-camera and it is clear.
It's been almost a half an hour now, and yet you still cannot bring yourself to do it. Ever since the train pulled into the station, you knew it wouldn't be easy getting up and off. Nothing is easy. Your mind races to contemplate several items of interest, including what your plan is now, where you'll sleep, whether this story will remain in second person, and how soon before those Metro cops come in and beat the tar out of you, just to name a few. You're a man of the moment. And this moment calls for action! As soon as you decide what kind of action needs to be taken, you think you'll be just fine staring at your grainy reflection in the train window.
So, hello. Novice writer here. Before we begin, pick a name and one of the below; Birdfolk; A tiny bird, as of right now, standing some eighteen inches tall. The world is largely inconsequential to him, as today is a big day. Swamp Noble; A tough-looking man, with a medium length of hair to boot. Dissatisfied with his position, he decides to do a little something about it, hands on. King's Knight; Whilst not -true-, the title remains. He must personally guard the man of power in this wintery wasteland. Today went kind of wonky.

So, this is how it ends then? Somehow I always thought I'd go down fighting, die a hero's death in the war. Not wind up a sniveling coward to terrified to even put up a fight. Gods, I'm pathetic... I'm never going to go home again, am I?

Deep within the depths of the multiverse lies a dangerous anomaly known as the Puzzle Dungeon! Travelers from all of known existence are pulled from their homes and forced to run this impossible gauntlet! Rumors abound that at its core it contains a power more valuable than anything else in existence... power that could elevate the one who secures it to a higher status than a god! Of course, with an infinite amount of dungeon delvers, it's merely a matter of time until the dungeon is completed. But the dungeon's traps seem nigh infinite themselves, and many will fall before one is victorious...
You are Thessel Shault After weeks of wandering the wraithlands aimlessly you cannot believe your luck! You seem to have stumbled upon an unoccupied fount. Not only does it seem to disperse the clinging fog that is the trademark of the wraithlands, Founts are known for their usefulness in aiding construction and possess a number of other useful properties to those that possess them! Now perhaps you can realize your dream of building a mighty empire without interference! Of course, it would help if you had some idea of where to start....

A little black barn owl sleeps exhausted in his armchair. He has had a very long, grim night. As he had difficulty sleeping, he helped himself to sleep by means of fine wine. He still has duties to tend to, though. The sun rises through the distant window. He cannot stay locked in his armchair all day. That's for Saturdays. What shall he do, then?
Your name is Eric Cambell, and you recently started playing the most amazing game. It doesn't really have a name, it's simply called "The Game" by the other players. You only started to play a few weeks ago. You had been out hunting in your usual spots in New York, and had only just put the finishing touches on your latest bit of artwork when you found yourself very suddenly elsewhere. The room was large, and you were sitting in a chair around a large conference table. At first you worried, the blood still stained your hands and your knife was still visible, but it was soon made clear that despite their being other people seated around the table none of them could see you. You supposed that appeared just as shadowy and indistinct as they seemed to you. It was just a few seconds before the shouting began,questions like "who are you people", and "where are we? Why can't I get up!" started back and forth between the confused group. You choose to remain silent. Then the large double doors at the end of the room (had they always been there?) opened and a tall, thin man stepped inside. Apparently it was raining out as he shook a wet umbrella off and placed it by a coat rack. "Hello, everyone. I suppose you are wondering why I've gathered you here" he said with a slight southern draw? More shouts from the others, some in anger, others confusion. The man waved them down. "I assure you, all will be answered in due time. First let me congratulate you on being selected to participate in the greatest event this millennium" the man shouted with a flick of his wrist. He smiled and said "I have many names, but you may call me The Game Master!" Suddenly he was on the other side of the table. "I have choose you for this game based on your unique personalities and skill sets. You see, what I offer is literally only limited by your imaginations" he said. T Message too long.

You're exhausted. The floor you took to sleeping on didn't help, nor did what you had to do last night. Funerals were never such nice things. Your cup of hot tea only helped so little. That was normally the straw that broke your needy back, but last night it did little good. You only fell to slumber when a mysterious heaviness fell upon you and you konked out on your carpet. And no, the impact of hitting the floor last night didn't help either. Yet you slept, face buried in dust knitting yet to be cleaned. The sun rises through your window. It hits one revealed eye, and you groan. You really don't know what to do at this time in the morning. You have an inkling, but you don't want to follow it. But maybe it'll come to you if you just lay down for another minute or two. Laying down sounds nice. Not as heavy laying down. And you still feel drowsy. Not like you want to open your eyes just yet. The black is calming, after all. { Now, what do you need to do . . . ? }
SETHRINE: So Keira, this is the thing that those stooges wanted? That’s a hell of a lot to pay for one of these little nubby things. And where the hell are all the security robots?

Sad.. scared.. hate.. Impressions: Endless darkness. Shards of essence, fading into the distance. A grand beam of light, impossible to comprehend, too far to touch. Warmth, fading. A single drop of heat and family, falling from what-was-you. Instinctively you try to protect it, but you don’t know how, and it is torn apart by the beam and the darkness. Loss, too huge to survive. Gnawing pain. Darkness. Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
You are Mephistopheles, the Compromising Aspect of The Dragon. Many mortals whose fates could have altered the course of human history have faltered, fell and faded away for listening to your gentle whispers. For some time you've been the paragon of your craft and a champion of your kind's doomed cause... But all that is about to change. You've felt more of that hated divine influence work harder and faster on the face of the Earth than ever before. The Messengers have been lengthening their stride and quickening their pace, and even the Grand Architect seems to have been suddenly taken by the condition of his footstool. It's not just you who feels things are coming to a head... and The Fallen have to follow suit if they're going to make any sort of lasting brand before the Great and Terrible Day. To be concise, The End is near... And there's much work to be done.
Ashes to ashes . . . Dust to Dust . . . From whence we came . . . to return we must . . . You see before you, in your pre-existence, a tree. Deeper than blood, looking to have long since died, a firm appendage pressed against it confirms a flowing feeling. It lives. But it doesn't breathe. It simply is. There is nothing definitive of the dark sky above. You can see neither the ground you walk nor the sky to guide, but the light that the blood-dried tree before you gives. More specifically, the light from the strange fruits left upon it. It's odd. But you feel as if this tree is familiar somehow. A voice, softer and sweeter than the skip the stone makes in the pond, funnels through your mind. You have been brought here for a reason, Starbourne. You have no need to fear. None of you do.

The party really pulled out all the stops with the victory celebration tonight. The hours spent playing patty cake with Mindy were especially invigorating, particularly after you consumed some evidence off her beautiful anatomy. You haven’t had this much fun since college. The smoggy night air of the lower district fills your lungs as you step out of Mindy’s apartment. You turn and give her the usual goodbye slap and tickle as she retreats back into her home. CLICK! A flash of light invades your eyeballs. As you turn to look at its source, you hear the rustling of the bushes as the intruding paparazzo runs off with his prize picture. This does not bode well. If that picture hits the papers, you’ll be the first person to screw up the new regime and the party leader is going to be extremely cross with you. He may even decide to remove all your kickbacks and bonuses for this year. He may even kick you out of the party. … Come to think of it, your wife might not like the idea of you having an affair either. Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
You are a cargo delivery boy trying to make good time on a morning shipment. And by Amnboreo-ra's grace, you have really messed up.
Once, there was a mighty empire, hundreds of years ago. The empire was great, and spanned many continents, more than are known even today in this world. It had amazing technology, some may even call it magic. But as the empire grew, it warred with itself. In time, it split apart, and it launched its own mighty technology against itself. Few survived. The land itself was scarred forever, and man was never the same, twisted and mutated beyond recognition. These lands are now more dangerous than ever before... Are you a true human, a remnant of times lost? (More choices will follow) Or are you a Mutant, borne of this new age? (More choices will follow) (Yes, this is an import of the /tg/ quest - but I hope to take this one in a different direction, with the different pace that is here.)

Year: 0AD Month: January. You are a young and headstrong man who has recently inherited land from your late father. The emperor of the land has decreed that with your late fathers land and his military grant you create a safe haven for at least five other war veterans to live.

Getlx the Prince of Scintillation sits gross and monumental in his throne room as his servants float before him on dull red spits of hell-stone.

Two figures move through the darkness of a manor house in the northern city of Senegha and settle in front of a large safe. "Right here," says a male voice. "Can you get it open without waking up everyone on the block?" "Of course," replies a female voice. "Just keep it down and let me concentrate." The female kneels in front of the safe and rests her fingers on the cold metal, a light blue glow radiating from the point of contact. "Sam, come on. Someone's going to see that," says the male, glancing at the closed over door and large window in the study. "Okay, Al. Maybe you'd like to do the magic from now on? If not, can it. I'm trying to work here." An aura of cold radiates from the safe and the metal creaks and strains from the sudden shift in temperature. "Almost there..."

You shouldn't be concerned, but this place was your home for so long; It's only natural that you'd want to visit, and maybe see if you can correct the path J.R. seems to be taking. >Unfortunately for you it's going to take much more than a bit of correcting to get this town back under control, but just how far are you willing to go?

WARNING: ADULT CONTENT: NUDITY AND ADULT SITUATIONS. NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR MINORS. There are those who think themselves above the Gods. Those that deserve to be brought down among the many, who must be stripped of their airs of greatness. They must be humbled, humiliated, their fall as great as their rise.
