>I guess Kaktus really liked I Am
Fun fact, I’ve actually had the idea for a eating / transforming quest thing for almost as long as I’ve done quests. Heck, there were parts of Rune that started toying with the idea before it died. While I admit there are parts of I Am in this quest (Because I Am is great), I was probably more inspired by this really old quest that I can’t remember the name of anymore. Of course, the whole shapeshifting monster that eats people is hardly a unique idea. I guess the whole “we are justice, only eat bad people” is my own spin on it?

Anyway, for that quest I can’t remember the name on, I would be grateful if someone were able to give me a name on it. Hopefully this quick description will be good enough: The protagonist is some kind of eldritch monster that can change shape, whom start off the quest by eating some elf lady who’s just found the secret treasure room he’s been hidden in. He then goes on to fight a bunch of mole men and save some fungal woman whom become the love interest. The whole thing is set in some kind of underground and there were this other huge monster thing as well I think? Oh, and paladin eating. Lots of paladin eating for some reason…

Sounds like you're describing SketchyQuest / Oblitus.

>>120033
Yep, that’s the quest.

>Sounds like you're describing SketchyQuest / Oblitus.
That’s the one… and geez, 2011? I started reading this thing before I even started making quests then. But thanks for finding it for me, might need to go back and look at it for old times’ sake.

I have this strong feeling you're referencing the opening of IT with Drago...

>>120488
Oh shit, you are right, now i am worried.

I can't believe so much of this thread is spent with people other than Ema.

>>120498
Yeah i noticed this too, but i feel it may focus more on her as people die horribly the plot progresses and Ema starts doing more things or others do less

>I have this strong feeling you're referencing the opening of IT with Drago...
They all float down there, don’t they?
>Oh shit, you are right, now I am worried.
Hey, just because someone is about to get horrible murdered doesn’t mean you need to worry.

>I can't believe so much of this thread is spent with people other than Ema.
It’s just to introduce the other characters, their goals and Ema’s next meal their current problems. The character jumping will lessen a bit after this section of the quest is over… probably.

The reversed name evil twin of Kaktus thing, mentioning of vampires in the quest and Al’ucark's name reminded me of the whole silly "Dracula/Alucard" backwards name thing. "Al’ucark" sounds kinda like Hiver-ized "Alucard," which is "Dracula" backwards, so my bet is Al’ucark is the quest-world's version of a vampire. Rather likely odds considering his behavior so far. Though, I suspect I read more into his name than actually was there.

>>120538
Going by that logic, that would mean Al’ucark’s real name is Kracu’la!

>>120506
This just make me more worried! I don't want good characters to die! Not all of them, at least.

I'm wondering if there was some meaning to Kaktus using the "?" character icon for Ema speaking in >>/quest/866671 instead of her actual character icon or if Kaktus just made a mistake.

...Well, fuck. I'm deeply regretting suggesting Ema should stay with Oran and watch while he tested the blood, inadvertently putting us in a bad situation. I also regret that I wasn't fast enough to get in my post before it got to the point Ema has to choose whether to eat Oran or not. If I had then Ema might have been able to distract him and get him away from the test by flirting and claiming she is interested in him and watching was a excuse to get alone with him to get frisky. Might have worked, might have not, but I missed the chance.

>...Well, fuck. I'm deeply regretting suggesting Ema should stay with Oran and watch while he tested the blood, inadvertently putting us in a bad situation.
Hey, stop blaming yourself for every little thing that goes wrong. You worry way too much every time something unplanned happens, you know. Instead of blaming yourself, take what is given to you with stride and find a solution instead. Especially when it come to this quest, as a rather inconsequential story written by some random guy isn’t really worth getting stressed over, trust me.

>>120842
Hey, it's a chance to get an ally in on the secret. While seducing him may have solved her life-force need, it wouldn't have advanced the in-the-loop (currently: zero) allies list, which is a huge help for ensuring she doesn't go hunger-crazed.

And a limited amount of stamina, too.

Haha wait a minute, is A Feast of Souls set after Strange Bedfellows? Athena could be a descendant of Kronos and Briannah.

>>122341
Yeah, i thought of that, especially because of the eyes and the accent. It could be a interesting crossover.

>>122341
It's pretty much certain Athena is a descendant of Briannah and Kronos or Krotos(, since they both married Bri.) Her surname is "Mediean," which is the same as the Risavian royal family's, as shown in Kronos' character profile in >>/questdis/92354. Also, the nugget of concentrated wickedness that Ema smelled deep in Athena is most likely Xuv's magic that makes a hybrid like her possible.

Now the question is how long has it been. Bri wanted to name her first daughter Beatrix, so unless she had twin daughters in this timeline that'd put Athena as a later child. Maybe the next child Briannah, Kronos and Krotos had, maybe the one several down the line, maybe Athena's a grandchild of them, or maybe even a later generation. So at the very least it'd be about twenty years since the end of Strange Bedfellows, to account for Athena being a adult, but it could also be much longer since then.

>>122341
>>122353
>>122369
Actually, back when the wiki still said “First Day of Harvest” before it was changed to “A Feast of Souls”, the wiki described the quest as becoming an adventurer to help Prince Kronos defeat evil.

And since only 10 years have passed since the events in Thread 1, I think it’s safe to say that Kronos is still alive.

Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Athena is a fake name because she wants to hide her being royalty from everyone because everyone knows that royal family members make good ransom hostages to try and get lots of money from the royal family.

>Krotos
Unfortunately, only Kronos has that ability. Any child that Krotos fathered would be a pure Varkian with a surrogate Varkian woman.....obviously with Briannah’s permission.

.....unless in between Strange Bedfellows and A Feast of Souls, they somehow found a way for Krotos to also have kids with Briannah?

>>122369
>As you look at her, you can see the traces on her. Something made out of pure, unrefined darkness have been there… you can feel your hand shake a bit as you feel it. There is… or has been… something so vile… something so terrible in there that it wasn’t of this world. But now… now it’s just… wrong? Something is wrong with her!? It’s like she doesn’t fit with the rest of the world. What is she?
>There is… or has been… something so vile… something so terrible in there that it wasn’t of this world. But now… now it’s just… wrong?
>has been
Xuv?

>>122373
Makes sense. Xuv had plans to possess Kronos' kid, likely as a backup plan in case the ascension failed.

Well, having in mind all this hypotheses, i believe that it could happen one of two things: She will most likely get possessed by Xuv, and she is trying to find a way to stop this, OR, that "evil aura" is just residual, and nothing will happen to her, at least not related to Xuv. I am more inclined to the latter, because Xuv was supposedly vanquished by Kronos.

>>122370
>Actually, back when the wiki still said “First Day of Harvest” before it was changed to “A Feast of Souls”, the wiki described the quest as becoming an adventurer to help Prince Kronos defeat evil.
I checked the wiki revision history for the A Feast of Souls page and there wasn't any description like that. But Xi said something close to that description in Boldly Coming, in >>/questarch/859367.

>And since only 10 years have passed since the events in Thread 1, I think it’s safe to say that Kronos is still alive.
But we don't know how many years it had been since the end of Strange Bedfellows before the start of the first thread of A Feast of Souls. Could have been at minimum about a decade, to fit the minimum amount of time it'd take for Athena to become a adult if she was the first or second child Briannah and Kronos (or Krotos) had. But it's also possible it was much longer time and Athena is a grandchild or great-grandchild of Bri and Kronos (or Krotos.)

>Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Athena is a fake name because she wants to hide her being royalty from everyone because everyone knows that royal family members make good ransom hostages to try and get lots of money from the royal family.
Then she's doing a piss poor job of it by not hiding her royal surname. Maybe she thinks she's far enough away from Risavia that most folk that aren't nobility wouldn't know about the Mediean royal family of Risavia. Or maybe she feels she doesn't have to hide her name.

>Unfortunately, only Kronos has that ability. Any child that Krotos fathered would be a pure Varkian with a surrogate Varkian woman.....obviously with Briannah’s permission.
I took a look at the Strange Bedfellows epilogue, and it looks like I was wrong. It appears there was just speculation and no evidence shown whether Krotos got the same power of cross-species fertility that Kronos did. But in the intervening years they coulda found out if Krotos did get the same power by just keeping Kronos from, uh, a specific position during sex if and when they wanted another child.

>>122374
And since Old Man Life swooped in and ate her and the rest of the warped Six immediately once the Rune of Eternity hiding her was gone, she's never gonna get the chance. ...However, it may have left a easy entry in Athena and Bri and Kronos' (or Krotos') offspring for a vile entity to swoop in and possess 'em. Depends on whether Xuv put a lock on the "backdoor" she put in 'em keyed to just her or not.

>>122377
>I checked the wiki revision history for the A Feast of Souls page and there wasn't any description like that. But Xi said something close to that description in Boldly Coming, in >>/questarch/859367 .
Oops, my bad! I knew I read it somewhere, I just couldn’t remember where I read it.

>>122370
>Unfortunately, only Kronos has that ability. Any child that Krotos fathered would be a pure Varkian with a surrogate Varkian woman.....obviously with Briannah’s permission.
Ah, I just remembered that in Briannah, Krotos and Kronos' three-way in the epilogue, Krotos was the one, and only one, who got vaginal with Bri. It was because he didn't want to end up raising Kronos' kid if the three of 'em didn't get to marry. Krotos was also the one taking full advantage of that vaginal permission while Kronos got oral when the two's father walked in on their three-way, so him and Bri coulda conceived a child right during that. And then at the wedding, a year or less time later, Bri was already pregnant when they took their vows. So whether she, Kronos and Krotos kept the same restrictions on Kronos as they had during that first three-way up until they knew Bri was pregnant is unknown. But if they did, it'd definitively answer if Krotos had the same power as Kronos.

>>122380
I don’t think Bri and Krotos would’ve been that cruel to Kronos to make him wait that long.

I think once Helios gave his approval for the wedding, Bri and Krotos took that restriction off of Kronos. But, yeah, that does make it hard to tell if Krotos got the same blessing or not.

.....then again, Beatrix was a name agreed upon by Bri and Kronos. But now that Krotos is also involved in the process of choosing a name for a baby, he might’ve had just enough influence for the child to be named Athena instead of Beatrix. Or it’s just her middle name or something like that? I don’t know.

>>122383
>I don’t think Bri and Krotos would’ve been that cruel to Kronos to make him wait that long.
Ah, but it wouldn't have been as long as until the wedding, or even until Briannah's pregnancy started showing. It would have only been until a pregnancy test would have given accurate results, which, according to what Kronos thought in >>/questarch/727821, is only a few weeks. So, I'd be between two to six weeks before Kronos' restriction was lifted. That is, if those three were actually thinking about figuring if Krotos was cross-species fertile too and didn't forget about it once the three-way marriage was a go.

>.....then again, Beatrix was a name agreed upon by Bri and Kronos.
It was the name Briannah wished to give her firstborn daughter, if she ever had one. Whether the Bri in the timeline of the rewritten-world had the same wish as the Bri from before the world rewrite I don't know. But the Bri in this world carries the feelings and memories of that world's Bri and I think she would honor her wish.

Also, Kronos would want his first daughter to be named Beatrix because that's the name she had in his dream before he came back from death. Oh, and in the BTL game in Boldly Coming the names of Kronos' twin children were Beatrix and Beathor. (>>/questarch/871751) Maybe they'll be the canon names in the Strange Bedfellows world, maybe not.

>But now that Krotos is also involved in the process of choosing a name for a baby, he might’ve had just enough influence for the child to be named Athena instead of Beatrix.
"Athena" sounds like a Risavian name, like Kronos or his father name, Helios. I suspect she was named by her father (whichever one of the two brothers it was,) since Bri got to name their first child (or children, if this timeline's Bri had twins.)

I do find it notable that Athena speaks so much like Briannah, with a Zadian Empire accent and manner of speaking, even though she came from Risavia. How come it wasn't mixed and tempered with the Risavian way of speaking and accent?

>>122385
>How come it wasn't mixed and tempered with the Risavian way of speaking and accent?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Athena would look better with horns I think.

Isn't it amazing that we live in an age where we can argue about how/when a bird prince impregnated a lizardperson in our literature?

Please be patient with the next update as my computer just experienced a massive meltdown and needed to be completely reset. Luckily I managed to save all the quest files, unluckily I didn’t manage to save the programs I use to make the updates with, so bear with me as I have to relearn new versions of programs I haven’t updated in several years. Hopefully the next update will come tomorrow if nothing bad happens.

>>122896
Good luck! We will cross our fingers!

>Wait a minute, is A Feast of Souls set after Strange Bedfellows?
Yes, it is.
>Now the question is how long has it been.
That is for you to find out in quest, isn’t it?

>How come her accent wasn't mixed and tempered with the Risavian way of speaking and accent?
Risavian didn’t have any real accent in Strange Bedfellows because it was the language focused on, just as the language that Ema speak doesn’t have an accent either, even though they are supposed to be completely different languages. So, because reasons, that’s why.

>Athena would look better with horns I think.
Maybe… but then she wouldn’t look so much like Xuv, would she?
>Isn't it amazing that we live in an age where we can argue about how/when a bird prince impregnated a lizardperson in our literature?

>>122899
Walways look on the bright side of life! *whistle*

>>122898
Why would she need to look like Xuv? Xuv is dead like three times over.

>>122901
Xuv was attempting to take over Bri and Kronos’ child in order to be born again, which would’ve brought her back to life. That would’ve made their child look like Xuv did when she was alive.

>>122903
Yeah, that was the reason behind Xuv granting Kronos the capability of cross-species fertility. Though, since his and Briannah's children only encompass Sakkilian and Vark physical traits they don't completely look like Xuv did when she was alive (as I assume her form in >>/questarch/763477 showed.) But leaving out two pairs of eyes and one pair of arms and substituting legs for Xuv's Serpens-like lower body, Athena does look like Xuv.

Hey, don't male sakkilians have internal testicles? As far as I can remember they do, but Danus was drawn with external ones in >>/quest/883452. I figure that was just a oversight.

>>122953

I am fairly sure that a penis is not considered an extremity, but a sex organ. And i don't have an external member either. It is internal, just like the rest of my brethren.
If by any chance you are talking about the doodle Harbard Grim did, is how he imagined me.

>>123231

Yes, that would be the case, indeed.

It's nice to see that Oran hasn't freaked out as much as we thought he would.

We're not giving anyone booty unless they're a good boy!

>>123591
But they’ve gotta experience the booty in order to understand why they need to be good!

This is indeed a great conundrum.

>>123592
It's clear that Oran wants that booty already.

>This is indeed a great conundrum.
To give booty or not to give booty... that is the question.

I say he gets no booty until he makes a real attempt at improving himself. Ema should be able to tell if he makes any progress, considering she could tell when he even started thinking about doing bad shit.

>>123671
I agree. We need to make everyone like lizard dad. lizard dad is good and pure.

I think we really need to talk about who we will be eating in general. After all right now we've really only dealt with people who are mostly really good or really bad. Oran is a good example of an every day person, sort of like the hooker we came across and sort of wanted to eat. Most people in the world arn't perfect. Would someone stealing a loaf of bread to feed their children be enough for us to eat them? What if the we knew the baker's children were also starving and needed that loaf to keep their mouth's filled? Lots of grey spots and if we're not careful we might kill a good amount of common people who only have done some wrong.

Thicc.

>>123804
That waist is unsettlingly thin.

>>123806
Yeah, I agree. I saw the same issue earlier to a somewhat lesser degree in the side views when Danus was eating out Ema.

>>123806
>>123808
Ema did tell us that despite being a glutton, she never really could pack on the pounds when she was alive.

Now that she’s undead, she’s pretty much stuck with that unsettlingly thin waist.

And you’d think being the daughter of a blacksmith would give Ema some killer abs, but from the looks of things, she doesn’t even have that.

>>123811
Alternatively, since there's no scale reference to compare to in this image, it could be said she has a normal sized waist and that her ass, thighs, legs and tail are absolutely massive.

>>123826
Yeah, that’s true.

>That waist is unsettlingly thin.
Looking back at it, yes, she a bit to thin.
>Yeah, I agree. I saw the same issue earlier to a somewhat lesser degree in the side views.
This is because it started out as a side view before the crossed legs came out a bit different than I anticipated. I guess she’s turning her upper body away from her legs or something?
>Alternatively, since there's no scale reference to compare to in this image, it could be said she has a normal sized waist and that her ass, thighs, legs and tail are absolutely massive.
Or that. Her body has supposedly a very hard time putting on weight, at least in the stomach area, and Vivi needed to go somewhere, right? Geez, that’s kind of dark, actually…

In other news, my computer finally gave up completely and I won’t get a new one for a few weeks. Luckily I still have my laptop with most of the quest stuff on it, though the next few updates will probably be without images thanks to this.

It’s not that dark, considering we already made that same assumption with Bri before the timeline was rewritten.

>the next few updates will probably be without images thanks to this.
Well that sucks.

>my computer finally gave up completely and I won’t get a nthe on
It's like an epidemic, you are not the only one.
It has happen the whole year.

I can't tell if my approach is that of a buzzkill, realist, or both.

It mildly irks me how much of a hard inversion attraction for Sakkalians is.

Butts 'n' boobs 'n' hips are relevant to mammals 'cause they're all part of storing calories or giving birth or breastfeeding or stuff.
Those're either not relevant or still applicable to females for reptiles.

For generic reptiles, attractive males would probably be fast and colorful; the former because males are generally smaller than females, and thus less tough, and the latter because, much like a peacock's plumage, it actually hampers them; if you can survive with ridiculous colors, you must be a real good pick to mate with.

>>124624
Yeah they do seem to have a hard time in those aspects. I should know :V

So I've a question. Seeing male and female roles are switched in this universe, does that mean that the bandits we killed earlier would have been like a roving gang of women?

>>124695
>does that mean that the bandits we killed earlier would have been like a roving gang of women?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>124695
Is more that they are different than switched, especially in the case of the Sakkalians, the rest seems pretty much the same. It is like in nature, where the female animals are bigger and, in consecuence the roles are diferent in some cases.

>It’s not that dark, considering we already made that same assumption with Bri before the timeline was rewritten.
So does this mean people will start trying to eat people to make her butt bigger? Hmm…

>For generic reptiles, attractive males would probably be fast and colorful.
Sakkilian females do prefer smaller, more leaner males and there is a reason why their makeup is so colorful, after all. As for the males, larger and muscular females are generally considered better mates, while big, plumps bums are popular as they make laying larger, healthier eggs easier.
>It is like in nature, where the female animals are bigger and, in consequence the roles are different in some cases.
That is the main reasons why their gender identities are so different from ours.

>Does that mean that the bandits we killed earlier would have been like a roving gang of women?
The Sakkilian might have been considered one, maybe, but the Varkian would very much have been a normal, generic male bandit type.

>>124782
>So does this mean people will start trying to eat people to make her butt bigger? Hmm…
I’m pretty sure we were already told in quest that wouldn’t work. So, no, we won’t be doing that.

Why are you pitting playable characters against each other WTH Kaktus!?
It wasn't cool when "Detroit: become human" did it and it's not cool now.
Now we play her either like she want's to get eaten or sensibly and get her to kill Ema.
NOT cool, Kaktus. not cool.

>>124837
AHH but now comes the dilemma of what will happen with our characters, not only Ema but the secondary ones as well!
And since there is a lot of us, not everyone will choose to do the same thing. Who knows, maybe somebody can suggest that certain character should do something that could kill another and some of us could like it. I like it! Lots of opportunities and outcomes.

>>124838
Not what I meant. Someone already made the suggestion to have Tana go first, instead of the hired muscle and the moment we see Ema someone's gonna suggest to go reeeeal close to her and jump in her mouth.

>>124839
Tana is an asshole, why do you care if something bad happens to her?

Besides, this is most likely one of those situations where whoever goes in first will be eaten before they get a chance to defend themselves.

Guess we just have to wait to see what Kaktus has for us.

>>124837
That you do not like it does not make it a bad storytelling technique.

>Why are you pitting playable characters against each other WTH Kaktus!?
Because it’s fun seeing you guys fight each other interesting to see things from another perspective at times.
>Now we play her either like she wants to get eaten or sensibly and get her to kill Ema.
It’s called roleplaying. Try to make suggestions that she might actually do and… dive into Ema’s maw because why not?
>It wasn't cool when "Detroit: become human" did it and it's not cool now.
You mean it wasn’t cool when Fahrenheit did it (or Indigo prophecy for you Americans out there)?

>AHH but now comes the dilemma of what will happen with our characters, not only Ema but the secondary ones as well!
There is no plot armor in this quest, just so you guys know. Your suggestion might change a lot of things in the end.

>>124837
It's hardly a new thing. There's plenty of examples of times quests have allowed suggesters to influence or control characters who are working at cross purposes.

To quote the old advice page in the wiki:
>In general, /quest/ tries to actively help whoever they're currently suggesting for (even in cases where this character is actively working against the interests of another character they were suggesting for previously).

>>124844
Mr Kaktus, you are diabolic.

It's certainly not the first time Kaktus did this through his quests, though I cannot remember exact details. Relax though, things either work out alright or the world ends through destructive fire.

>>124856
Either is fine with me.

AH SHIT I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO MAKE THEM GO FORWARD OR NOT! Wasn't expecting one of them to acctually be nice!

I for one love this sort of story telling. One has to remember that everyone has motives. Few people do things just for the sake of evil. A drug dealer might be pushing to keep their children fed for instance. In the end, our main character is just as an evil being as most of the people we are eating. We just are seeing it through their eyes so we are drawn to them. If this was another story, she would be the enemy. Makes one need to think hard about actions.

>>124892
Well I tried to keep her away, and similar suggestions went through just fine, but I guess none of that mattered?

Kaktus, when I suggest for someone to do something it's because I want them to do something. Not to take some offhand remark after my actual suggestion and use that to REVERSE MY SUGGESTION. That actually PISSES ME OFF.

Okay can someone give me a rundown of this quest? Is this fetish fuel? I saw someone get eaten, people's heads were potatoes and meat?

Plot? I am rather confused.

>>125243
I suck at explaining plot, so unless someone else wants to explain things to you, then I’d just recommend that you go back and read the previous threads and see for yourself.

>>125243
The main character is a "Wraith", a shapeshifting undead creature brought about by a grave injustice. Wraiths are obsessed with bringing justice to the guilty, especially whoever was responsible for the circumstances of their creation/awakening. Wraiths are also tied to a weapon or pair of weapons, in this case a pair of swords. The swords seem to contain some sort of central guiding voice and a ton of hungry souls which sometimes threaten to push the Wraith into eating too much or too soon.
She has an urge to eat sinners, which grows stronger in the presence of those who have deeply sinned, and the hunger grows stronger over time in general to force her to regularly eat sinners. Overeating results in the Wraith growing used to overeating, increasing needs over time. The hunger can be abated somewhat by consuming blood or sexual fluids, without any negative side effects.

Thus, Ema wants to eat bad people and fuck people she doesn't want to eat.

>>125245
You got that mostly right. Ema is part of a "Elder Wraith," not a plain Wraith. The Elder Wraith inhabits the ancient, indestructible blades Ema carries and is able to form full bodies itself rather than possessing those that touch the weapon it inhabits.

For the full info, check >>/questarch/869691 and the following few updates for what Oran found on Elder Wraiths and Wraiths.

>>125243
For some definition it is going to be fetish fuel. Kaktus quests do have a habit of turning into sex romps.

The masculine/feminine role reversal is getting a bit confusing. Do all races share it? Is Karn a heterosexual transgender, or just the universe equivalent to a tomboy.

>>125251
We talked about this around this part >>124624.
Not a tomboy, more like an amazon but reversed, if that makes sense?

>>125245
>>125247
>>125249
Alright, alright I think I get it. The thing that confuses me the most is the whole, eating someone the same size as you and they just, disappear or something? Their belly do not expand at all, I guess it's not a traditional way of doing things?

>>125283
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-Q45kE9Hw8

Sorry about the accidental double-vote - again, my bad.

Am I the only one that thinks Oran is going to end up like Dr. Connors in Spider-Man?

He might end up turning into a monster when he tries to regrow his arm!

>>125632
But he's already a reptile.

>>125633
That’s not the point.

The point is that Oran could end up turning into some kinda undead monster if he’s not careful!

>>125634
That's ridiculous.

>>125635
But still possible!

>>125634
I bet he would like that.

wow, what a shameless self-insert on that shelf

smh y'all need some restraint


/s in case it wasn't obvious

>>125749
I guess this is a good time and place as any to ask, but how can i "censor" what i write down, with the black bars, i haven't learned that yet.

You put the text in spoiler tags, ie "spoiler" "/spoiler", using brackets instead of quotes.

See https://tgchan.org/kusaba/news.php?p=faq for a list of useable tags.

Is anyone else legit concerned about the 7 enemies Ema currently has? I legit can't think of 7, but here's my attempt:

Duchess (fucking duh)
Vamp-Hiver (saw us drag Tana)
Prosti-Food (clearly has irons in the fire that we won't like)
Dick Guardswoman (on the "eat soon" list - because the prostitute suddenly became more urgent, you get to live yet another day)
Tunu(???) (currently friendly, but if she finds out...)
Yate(???) (obtuse as hel and not telling us everything, doubt he's one of the 3 allies)
Madame Whatsherbeak (did some shit, possibly knows what we are, if not who)

... Okay, some of those were last minute, but whatever. I was serious about those question marks; is there anyone I'm missing? I'm thinking the 3 allies might be Oran, Karn, and either Danus or Justinia.

I'm not legitimately sure the vamp hiver is an enemy.

>>125754
Thanks! I take a read later!

>>125756
I don't know about the noble in the sewers, could be, bu Justina is definetly not an ally, not yet at least, Danus on the other hand would be our first ally, hands down.

>>125756
>Duchess (fucking duh)
Just to clarify, the super-evil smelling Vark ruler of the city is a baroness, not a duchess.

>Prosti-Food (clearly has irons in the fire that we won't like)
>Dick Guardswoman (on the "eat soon" list - because the prostitute suddenly became more urgent, you get to live yet another day)
My money is on the prostitute planning to or having already sold Ema out to (Dick Guardswoman) Terroza, so if Ema followed through on a meeting with Terroza she'd be walking into a trap and ambushed.

>Yate(???) (obtuse as hel and not telling us everything, doubt he's one of the 3 allies)
I'm on the fence about Yate's position. Like, it gave the herbalist those totems of Past, Present and Future (The "Continuity Brothers" we know from Strange Bedfellows) to protect her, but are they to protect her from those three knowing of her and/or meddling with her, or protect her from those that oppose those three brothers? Is Yate one of their champions, one of their opponents, or a double-crosser one way or another? We have to find out more first.

>>125773
>Just to clarify, the super-evil smelling Vark ruler of the city is a baroness, not a duchess.
Correction: The Baroness is a Sakkilian, not a Vark.

>>125793
Oh, you're right. Guess I got her mixed up with Vivian?

>wow, what a shameless self-insert on that shelf…
Hey, don’t get jealous over my OC (do not steal) just because he’s the son / daughter of all the characters and have all the powers!

>Is anyone else legit concerned about the 7 enemies Ema currently has? I legit can't think of 7, but here's my attempt…
You can have enemies you haven’t actually encountered personally, you know.
>I'm thinking the 3 allies might be Oran, Karn, and either Danus or Justinia.
Aren’t at least one of those extremely skeptical of Ema at the moment?

>Oran could end up turning into some kinda undead monster if he’s not careful!
Since when has ever having some amateur scientist worked on something probably illegal and very dangerous ever gone wrong? Especially when he himself is the test subject?
>I bet he would like being an undead.
Only if it’s the sexy kind (like Ema) and not the person eating monstrosity kind (like Ema… wait…)

>Only if it’s the sexy kind (like Ema) and not the person eating monstrosity kind (like Ema… wait…)
Get your facts together Kaktus.

So i guess we need to pay more atention to Oran and Kharn. Those two are a dificult bunch eh?
I you ask me, Yate and the herbalist are alies. Yate might hate Ema, But they are still helping her, for now, and for some reason. Danus can't be argued. He is best husbando.

Best husbando died in the prequel.

>>125853
You are going to have to remind me who that was, there was a lot of husbando material in there.

>>125862
He/she is talking about Tidol, which was this guy: >>/questarch/858773 .

>>125875
Ohhhh. Well, i mean, maybe? We didn't get to know him well, the poor bastard.

>>/quest/906896
Look, as far as I'm concerned, we dealt with a perceived threat, we chose violent actions to maximize expected success, but most importantly, it's done. I just want to talk about future actions stemming from this.

For me, this isn't about righteousness or justice. It's about making the best out of a bad situation. You're trying to state a finality of the opinions from this encounter, a sort of "absolute" in our justification of what we chose. That's what scares me; by justifying every portion of our actions with a "they deserved it" attitude, we also mask the various aspects of our decision.

You cannot perfectly describe this situation with one "I killed a bad guy" sentence, it was made of different factors and actions:
1) We recognized them as members of the guard, and chose to make them our enemies.
2) We used supernatural powers and physical eavesdropping to confirm their guilt in child murder, with minimal probability of error.
3) We had multiple pacifist options, but we perceived the guards as a threat to the safety of others, including allied forces.
4) We had the option to spare them, but doing so would add complications, the most pressing of which was time.
5) Consuming them would cause personal problems with hunger increase.
Do you doubt my train of thought?

Good, so do I. Trying to tie all of this up with a "my actions were considered good, therefore all of this was good and rational" is something you celebrate at a Deadpool movie, not real life.

>>126033
You are right, if we are concern with morality painting the problem in black and white is too simplistic. I wouldn't approve this line of reasoning in the real world mostly because of the lack of Ema's supernatural moral detection.
Of course, the biggest problem with "I killed a bad guy" sentence isn't that it can't be correct, but we can't trust it to be true coming from others. Since in this case Ema would be justify her actions to herself I don't see the problem. But, if we ever try to explain to others better to stick to the facts.

Ultimately the problem isn't about interpret her actions as necessarily good, but taking responsibility for what could be though as collateral damage. Ema isn't good, she is a morally dubious monster, and her purpose is to punish the guilt, not be the hero.
It's possible that the consequences of killing murderous oppressive guards is ultimately bad because there could be other threats that justify a tyrannical regime. That doesn't matter to Ema, because her goal is to dispense justice, severe punishment for severe crimes.

Maybe a confrontation with the kid could be interesting to the story, but it's not beneficial to Ema nor to the boy, so why would Ema seek this encounter? As fas as I'm concerns she should try her best to avoid such confrontation and only face it if led by events outside her control.

>>126033
>>126040
So there is a decision to make about the child? This will not only make changes in the world around Ema, but probalby within Ema herself. We can influence this aspect of "monster that just enacts justice" or "someone that tries to make the right thing". I think it is an interesting view that we should keep in consideretion, for the roleplaying aspect of the story.

I have some society questions.
So do Sakkilian males have what we would consider feminine voices, and females masculine?

Is human masculinity and femininity the same as how we know it?

Which gender is dominant for Varkians? Most birds have dominant males, but the Varkians seen so far seem to indicate otherwise (or they could either just be into that or it could be a case of when in rome do as the romans do). Was Vivian really a peacock? She seemed more like a bluejay and female peacocks are usually brown.

From what I have gathered, Serpens male and females are both submissive and the third sex is the dominant one (and has a hood), is this correct?

>>126057
Hang on, the Vivian thing makes sense if she was born male and had a sex change rather than being born as a female with a penis.

>>126057
discover's author's other quests

ohhhkay, i think i am starting to get it now. You can just ignore me.

>>126060
Quite the cultural shock eh?

>>126069
Not really. I mean, i am still reading, but it does confirm that Varkians have similar masculine/feminine ideas as humans do.

Is Will We Dream dead?

>So do Sakkilian males have what we would consider feminine voices, and females masculine?
Sakkilian voices are rather similar to human ones, not counting that females usually have a bit deeper voices thanks to their size, though preferences are rather different. Females usually prefer males with lighter, softer voices while males prefer females with deeper voices.
>Is human masculinity and femininity the same as how we know it?
Human centric societies are generally more male dominant, though the constant exposure to the other species cultures does change things, both ways.

>Which gender is dominant for Varkians?
Neither, for the most part. They do easily change depending on outside factors, which is why they are more female dominant in a Sakkilian society as seen in Feast of Souls.
>Was Vivian really a peacock?
Vivi was blue with green tail feathers. Make of it what you will, but Varkian aren’t exactly like other species of birds, are they?
>Hang on, the Vivian thing makes sense if she was born male and had a sex change rather than being born as a female with a penis.
Vivian was born male in a female centric society, in a rather well off family that really wanted a daughter. Her parents tried to remedy this fact with magic and a strict upbringing, which left Vivi less than… well afterwards.

>From what I have gathered, Serpens male and females are both submissive and the third sex is the dominant one (and has a hood), is this correct?
While the third sex, Ovales, are generally a bit bigger than the others, Serpents generally value skill and expertise above things like looks and size. That’s why Tunu is attracted to Oran and is willing to look past his awkwardness and lack of arm, as someone with his kind of education and mind is very attractive to someone that lack one like her.

In fact, Tunu does kind of desire for Oran to be the more dominant one in the relationship, as she sees him as someone above her, but as Oran hasn’t had a lot of exposure to Serpents culture and norms (or any other norms about romance), he is a bit lost on what to do.

Kaktus, I haven't said this before, but i just want you to know that i love the universes that you create, at least the ones i have been following. They are so alive, so well thought. I am having a blast with this quest!
Just wanted to let you know.

Hey, Kaktus, considering how the quest is starting to look like the military is redacting their secrets, I think it might be best if from now on we stay in control of Ema instead of switching to the person we want her to eat. That'll help cut down on the people purposefully sabatoging the quest.

I mean, it was an interesting mechanic when it first showed up with Tunu, but now it's getting really annoying with Terroza.

But if you really want to keep switching away from Ema, then it might be better to switch to someone that could help Ema eat whoever she's targeting.

Either that, or keep these swaps short? Like, okay, seeing through the prey's eyes as they inevitably get eaten is fun for a while but the longer we stay with them the more people are going to either get bored or frustrated due to the prey not being dead yet and thus our suggestions being mostly pointless. I mean the only thing we seem to be accomplishing right now is inflicting temporary harm on the birdbrain or the glutton.

>>126357 >>126358
Yeah, I'm in favor of these.
The swaps can be fun, but when it's someone we're about to eat, it doesn't feel like it's doing much other than wasting time.
Playing as Drago or Oran is fine, but Soul-Vore Victim #23 tends to be rather boring because we know exactly what's gonna happen in a moment.

>That'll help cut down on the people purposefully sabatoging the quest.
I personally don't see it as "sabotaging", but i do have to agree, it is getting kind of tedious, all this arguing. Making the swap of characters shorter might help. We obviously can't agree on how to interact with the antagonists.

Does Kaktus is died?

>>126536
No, just this quest.

Kaktus is currently working on a different quest called “New Horizon”. That’s what you should look at if you want a Kaktus quest.

>>126537
Wait, is it really dead or just on hiatus?

>>126541
I’m pretty sure it is.

Hiatus, he's got about three stories he's currently working on, and he tends to rotate between them every so often.

>>126543
He’s only got 2 quests now. I’m pretty sure he dropped this quest because of how toxic everyone’s arguing got.

And I’m not sure about what >>126357 was saying, about some people purposefully sabotaging the quest, but it kinda looked like that was what was happening.

Don't put too much stock in anything 91ee5f says. I'd recommend at least waiting for a definitive statement from actual Kaktus.

Oh man, i sure hope not. I was really getting into this story. Guess i am going to have to see that other one. I'll be late, but whatever.

Feast of souls is on a small break because I needed some rest from it, mostly because things kind of got into a rut and it started dragging a bunch. (There might also have been a bunch of university stuff popping up in real life as well).

I have started working a bit on an update, but I’m currently focusing on New Horizon at the moment, so we’ll just see when I get the time / desire to actually finish it.

>>126550
I’m glad to hear that you haven’t given up on Feast of Souls and I look forward to what you come up with next.

>>126550
Oof, that is a relief. Keep up the good work Kaktus!

>>126550
Alrighty, good to hear.
Might wanna mention that arguments are more for disthread than the quest itself in your next quest post.

Kaktus, is there any real logic behind when Ema gets too hungry? It seems arbitrary and unpredictable. Nothing we've done has worked to manage it.

Question: why aren't the swords directing Ema towards older and weaker sinners more often? Everyone she has eaten so far has been relatively young and hip.

>>128437
Too easy, and not fun to fuck.

>Kaktus, is there any real logic behind when Ema gets too hungry? It seems arbitrary and unpredictable.
The three major factors are time, power usage and sheer gluttony.
She will get hungrier over time, which is pretty obvious, but she will also need to feed more often the more she uses her powers, so things like regrowing limbs will pretty much starve her.
She will also react to the presence of really evil people, as her body really wants to enact Justice upon them and thus it makes itself hungry to force her to feed.

>Question: why aren't the swords directing Ema towards older and weaker sinners more often? Everyone she has eaten so far has been relatively young and hip.
The only one the sword is directing her towards is whoever is responsible for the slaughter of her village. As for old, evil people, they are generally people with power and not some thug running around in the street, thus making them harder targets to find. Heck, the baroness is supposed to be someone that’s beyond their middle age.
>Too easy, and not fun to fuck.
Also, that.

Anyone else getting an error with the latest image?

>>128899
I’m pretty sure that’s Kaktus’ April Fool’s joke. There isn’t an image or any text behind the spoilers.

I'm somewhat off put by Athena's looks.
I get she's a weird hybrid, but everyone knows that bird + lizard = velociraptor, not "normal lizard with feathers".

smh my head, Kaktus.

Hey, Kaktus, I enjoy your quests, but lately it feels like you're needlessly slowing things down for some reason.

Because it feels like everytime we want to do something, we're always interrupted by 9 or 10 different things all at the exact same time before we get a chance to do the 1 thing we wanted to do. Couldn't you just let us do something without any complications for once?

Like what's happening right now. All we had to do was go into Tertian's house, grab what we needed, and get out. Then we got interrupted by the bug on a drug. Now I'm just waiting for the other 8 or 9 interruptions before we can finally get what we want and leave. And then get some more interruptions before we finally get to sleep.

>>129578
Now that you mention it, that does seem to happen a bit too much. But not to the amounts you're talking about.

Needs more foodstuff mugs. I suggest you trace over some food porn.

... Maybe not literally. Maybe.

>>129623
Foodporn is the only thing that turns me on.

>Hey, Kaktus, I enjoy your quests, but lately it feels like you're needlessly slowing things down for some reason.
The main reason is probably because of my awful posting schedule recently. When everything takes something like three days to even start to resolve then even small discretions gets cumbersome. That and the bad schedule make me come up with too much unnecessary crap between updates. I hope I’ll get some motivation back and start updating more regular in the future.

>I'm somewhat off put by Athena's looks. I get she's a weird hybrid, but everyone knows that bird + lizard = velociraptor, not "normal lizard with feathers".
Personally, I’m not too happy with her either. The main problem is that she’s supposed to look like Xuv, but her design doesn’t work as well without the skull. I’ve think I’ve said it before, but she might get a design overhaul in the future if she gets a bigger role in the quest.

>Needs more foodstuff mugs. I suggest you trace over some food porn.
I might just make a few more food mugs in the future, just to enable multiple unnamed enemies in one conversation. Maybe one for each species? Hmm…
>Foodporn is the only thing that turns me on.
Foodporn really heats up my… oven… because I get hungry. But you do you.

>>129643
>Athena stuff
Neat, good to know.

>Athena stuff
Nice, I wouldn't mind a magic change at all.

I think she'd look better with horns.

>>129660
Horns are hot!

>>129661
I do not see why she would have horns.

Clearly, she should be an avian dinosaur of some sort.

Where, oh where, has our Kaktus gone?

This quest is full of lies!

"Eat people to gain powers" is one of the main things this quest promises and yet, we haven't gotten any new powers! The only thing we got were memories of old lives, memories of people we ate, and the forms of the people we ate to turn into.

We can't even use Terroza's fire magic, even though we have her memories, because Kaktus said, "No you can't use her magic because you don't know how to use magic. But instead you can have a chance of Terroza's personality taking control of you!"

Come on! If we have Terroza's memories, then we should also have her memories of how to use her magic! Let us use her fire magic!

Or at least give us some new undead ability we can use, like being able to paralyze people from long range by locking eyes with them or being able to hypnotize someone into telling us what we want to know or just give us something so that we don't have to keep trying five hundred different things to get a single scrap of information that we need to progress the story!

Why are a bunch of suggesters intent on outing Ema to Corvus, a stranger of unknown motives and attitude? It'll so likely go bad and then we're stuck up shit creek 'cause Corvus is too pure for Ema to scarf him down to keep him from blowing her cover and bringing the guards down on her.

>>130869
Frustration and impatience, I'd guess. Kaktus has been roadblocking us a lot more in this quest than in others.

>>130866
If you want a quest to improve, then you need to offer up constructive criticism. This is not constructive criticism, this is just a bunch of complaining.

>>130871
What? Constructive criticism involves giving suggestions for improvement, which are right there in the post.

>>130871
That is constructive criticism.

>>130866
We've only got vague, instinctual memories, which isn't enough to cast anything but simple, reflexive magic, I'd guess.

Plus, we did get a bit of a magic boost.

It feels nice knowing that my silly alliteration has become a running joke now.

>>131008
Because it was funny.

But the real question is, now that we know we can combine forms, once we interrogate all of the info out of them, how thicc will we be when we combine all three of the thicc thief thots forms?

>"Eat people to gain powers" is one of the main things this quest promises and yet, we haven't gotten any new powers!
You guys did choose to focus on strength at the beginning, so Ema has been steadily become stronger and a faster eater as the quest goes on. The second fight with Karn was supposed to show this off, but people didn’t want to show off any inhuman strength (Insakkilian strength?), making it a lot more even instead of the curbstomp battle it would have been. Ema has gone from just being able to throw a persona few meters and having to paralyze and slowly eat someone to ripping apart safes with her bare hands and eating people in mid-fall, after all.
>We can't even use Terroza's fire magic.
That would be something a more intelligent person would be able to do. Ema instead learned about her strength magic.
>Kaktus has been roadblocking us a lot more in this quest than in others.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I’ve not trying to go out of my way to block any path, but this quest has recently been rather slow and stale with its plot. I’ve tried to remedy this by rushing a bit through the Uredo / library thing, so we’ll see if things get a bit better.

>It feels nice knowing that my silly alliteration has become a running joke now.
Bad busty bandit bird babes deserves dauntless diabolical diatribes.
>But the real question is, now that we know we can combine forms, once we interrogate all of the info out of them, how thicc will we be when we combine all three of the thicc thief thots forms?
Why stop at three when we can go even further? Maybe add a bit of Justina to the mix and sprinkle some Tertian on top. Let’s create the bum to end all bums! LET IT BECOME THE BUM TO END ALL WORLDS!

>>131010
>Maybe add a bit of Justina to the mix
Not yet. She hasn't really done anything to deserve getting eaten.

>and sprinkle some Tertian on top.
I don't think a Varkian and Sakkilian hybrid form would be good for us to use. We'd have to keep ourselves completely covered all the time, just like Athena.

>Let’s create the bum to end all bums! LET IT BECOME THE BUM TO END ALL WORLDS!
I am both terrified and amused at the thought of doing that.

>>131010
>That would be something a more intelligent person would be able to do. Ema instead learned about her strength magic.
So we can’t Falcon Fire Punch anyone? That sucks!

>>131011
>no hybrid forms
>We’d always have to completely covered like Athena.
I’ve gotta agree. We’re trying to not stand out too much.

Hey, speaking of Athena, didn’t Kaktus mention giving her a design overhaul? I was thinking of how that could be explained in the quest and I thought of something.

She was looking for transformation potions in Oran’s shop, right? What if they weren’t for making her look like a regular Sakkilian? Maybe the potion is for keeping her current hybrid form? And when the potion wears off, she changes back to her normal form, which can be Kaktus’ new overhauled design for her.

How does that sound?

>>131010
>Create the ultimate bum!
Couldn't we spread it all around instead of focusing only on the bum? Like, we could make a more well-rounded (literally) form, to create a fat Varkian lady.

I could see us being able to pull off a jolly fat Varkian lady with a "D'ohohohoho" anime laugh.

Huh. We met Corvus Inkfeather, but who's Karkan Inkfeather?

>>131044
Probably his brother that died in Dalriver.

Well who the heck did he exterminate then?

>>131045
No, Corvus' brother's name is- er- was Corvak. Ema thought about him midway through >>/quest/943155 and his name was also in the first thread of the quest.

>>131044
But also in >>/quest/943155 Ema mentioned that she didn't think that Corvak and Corvus' father was in Dalriver at the time of the massacre. Their father's name might be, or might have been, Karkan Inkfeather.

Ema also remembered that Corvus and Corvak's father traveled all the time back then and that he is (or was) black feathered while their mother was wasn't. (I'm using both the present and past tenses because we don't know if their father is still alive.)

And Corvus decided to drop his family name... either to put Dalriver behind him or because of some disagreement with his father.
I have a feeling we'll be meeting Karkan at some point.

>>131048
With how much he was away from Dalriver, it's possible that he put his family there to keep 'em safe from whatever he was doing. Considering the quote from the start of thread 4, he may be (or have been) a vampire hunter or he's (or was) somehow involved in destroying or attempting to enslave Yate's kind.

Of course this is a whole lot of speculation and it might just pan out that he was a travelling merchant or some other benign job that kept him away from his family and Dalriver for almost all the time back then.

Of course Oran still refuses to change. Even after all the warnings, he's still being an idiot. He even refused to change when we were controlling him that one time!

It's almost like Kaktus is purposefully making Oran act like an idiot because he doesn't want us to try and help certain characters become better people. I refuse to believe that Oran is dumb enough to continue making drugs when an undead monster is telling him to stop and has threatened him multiple times!

That's some really bad writing.

Oran's problem is that he's greedy, lies habitually, and has very little sympathy for others.

I *was* put off that we convinced him to stop selling drugs while controlling him, then that got retconned or something.

>>131055
>Oran's problem is that he's greedy, lies habitually, and has very little sympathy for others.
That’s true, but shouldn’t something as important as wanting to not die override all of that and get him to stop? Because you’d think a death threat would’ve worked the first time and not need to be repeated like we’ve been doing with Oran.

>>131056
He also thinks he's better at lying than he actually is and thought he could just hide it.

>>131057
But we’ve also proven to him that he can’t lie to us. So why did he continue to attempt to lie to us when he knows he can’t fool us?

>>131058
Because there are some people who are very stupid when they think they are being clever.

He also cares a lot about Karn, we could use this.

We shouldn't push Oran too hard. Keep in mind they always have the choice of reporting Ema to the guards.

>>131072
They didn't do that with Tunu, they won't do it with Ema. Besides, what are they going to say? There is this lady that wants to eat me? She has done it before?

>>131072
I think we should apologize for what we said. We said some unnessecarily cruel things to him.

>>131076
Less cruel then the acts that he's doing that are killing people.

>>131077
Still doesn't change the fact that threatening to punish Karn for Oran's actions is wrong. We shouldn't have done that.

Before we make a big mistake rushing Justina out of the home of the vampire she just banged, I'm going to remind everyone that the city has a nighttime curfew due to folk disappearing after dark. Said disappearances are most likely due to vampires or city guards nabbing folk to sell 'em to the vampire nobility. So we may be rushing her from the relative safety of a vampire that is fed enough he wants to keep up the facade of being mortal and wouldn't harm her before she leaves at dawn into the hands of a hungry vampire or captured for a vampire noble's larder.

>>131470
>wouldn't harm her before she leaves at dawn
Why are you assuming he’s not going to feed on her as his breakfast? It’s still important for Justina to leave right now!

>>131471
Alright, I'm being too damn hopeful. Scratch staying.

>>/quest/952162
Can I say this disturbs me? There's a focus in absolutes.

Hey Kaktus, would you be willing to make extra stuff for Strange Bedfellows? Your smut's gotten a lot better, and I'm still a bit salty over the cockblocking with Belseth.

>Hey Kaktus, would you be willing to make extra stuff for Strange Bedfellows? I'm still a bit salty over the cockblocking with Belseth.
If people show some interest I might go back and draw some lewds, sure. Just not at the moment, as I have enough trouble finding time / motivation to update the quest normally as it is.
>Your smut's gotten a lot better.
Why, thank you. It’s good to hear someone appreciate my art.

>Can I say this disturbs me? There's a focus in absolutes.
Wait, Kome of all people feel disturbed? That’s new.

Also, I forgot to change my name to Kaktus for the longest time…

First bug lewds! But yeah I'm glad to see your art improved as it is too

I support bug lewds!

Kaktus, you got a gallery anywhere, or are you a mysterious entity known only to TGChan?

>Kaktus, you got a gallery anywhere, or are you a mysterious entity known only to TGChan?
I am currently just another friendly neighborhood poster here on this board, mostly because I mostly only draw for updates for my quest anyway. So no, I don’t have a gallery, never thought I really needed one.
>I support bug lewds!
Bug lewds require all the support it can get. There is a frightening lack of bug lewds out there… and weird alien lewds as well.

And I apologize for not updating for a while, but all my creative juices was spent moving my D&D group from a physical version into a digital one. Hopefully my normal update pace will return now that’s done.

>>132426
yessss
More bug lewds!

bug lewd quest when

As the current New Horizon thread is drawing to a close, I’m just going to post this is all my dis-thread to see what people is interested in seeing next. Whoever wins isn’t guaranteed to picked, but I will take it into consideration. Multiple picks are welcomed as well. (I’ll probably shift between 2 quests at once for a while if all goes well.)

For those that are unfamiliar with some of those quests, here’s all the wiki’s:
https://questden.org/wiki/A_Feast_of_Souls
https://questden.org/wiki/New_Horizons
https://questden.org/wiki/Boldly_Coming

As for Boldly Coming in particular, I’d like to continue and finish it, but I can’t find a way to change its current state into something I actually want to do, so sadly I’ve taken the decision to reboot it and try again, this time with some more experience behind me.
