I'm actually quite interested in this quest, the Gnoll is quite interesting when it comes down to what he is. Though I'm curious as to why the gods/spirits would want to have a vessel they would have to share.

What in the world is happening in here

>>68745
I suppose it's rare that both truth and dragon would share a single host... And in hind sight since they effectively break each other it's kinda reasonable to think they wouldn't. But they do in this context for the whole shield that blocks everything, spear that breaks everything myth... Originally William was supposed to be the only person able to embody the gods as he does, a sort of prophetic champion. But it pretty much sounded like it was a thing.
a thing to point out is that they aren't almighty gods... Kinda more like kamis... powerful guardian spirits, godlike even, but not like *Paff!! I just made the universe!* gods.
Thanks by the way, I'm glad folks are liking him. I was afraid the monk character would be mood breaking. I figured if D&d can do it why not? but it worried me.

Well there you have it I Fucking [REDACTED] Had a great time drawing this, I actually did draw all the way down to the bottom of the ocean but decided to cut it a little higher for decency. probably gonna get to updating the quest sometime tomorrow or later.

cute!
Draw her covering herself in shame. But update first.

What the hell happened here?

>>499907
>Huh. It's for traveling? I would have thought it was for interpersonal stuff, or orders.

it's kinda like charisma but for leadership, I suppose it could of been called leadership... In this case Eadoo's using his leadership skills to march the team on. Rather than rolling his low endurance. though it wouldn't of mattered.

the stats are based on dark herrisy right? I'm not entirely familiar with that system.

It'd be pretty hilarious if we ever found a magic artifact that works better the closer to 50 we roll, and fails at either extreme.

We'd probably never get it to work even once.

sorry for a lack of updates
exams and what not, I should be back soon

if you have some time, post lore about the world.

>>69201
>>69203
sounds good, here's the first of the lot. I'll talk about this as it seems important in the story. Once again, spoiler text is really spoilers, if you're sensitive to spoilers, don't read it

Well for starters the Black scrawl is based on the illness from Neir (Shout out to Neir! Love that game) Though only in name and face, the illness in my quest is fundamentally different, though looks similar and has the same name. (As I am bad at naming shit. You will likely notice as I eventually get forced to name for stuff) Okay that aside I can talk about the BlackScrawl [Eadooquest]

No one truly knows where it came from, whether it is merely a cursed disease or an ancient malediction sent down from the gods of death to punish us for transgressing the holy passage from life to death, the truth no one knows. Some believe that it is a death sentence for the world of the living as we know it, brought about by the followers of the Apocalypse, a cult of veneration that seek to sink the entire notion of life into the void, into the very absence of reality... Though it is uncertain if this group even exists (Yes it does) Whether the cause, it is not overly contagious though always lethal. There is no cure for the illness (save for wish or miracle).

The Black scrawl is caught mysteriously, it's still unclear for it spreads, though highly infested locations are an easy way to die. (See Eadoos tree house after Kaleb returned) The first sign of infection is seen in small itchy swellings, within the following days the swellings will darken and begin leaking black blood. after a few days the swelling stops entirely, shortly after black scrawls appear on the flesh, slowly and painfully growing and wrapping along the body until the victim is completely black. As they grow, the victim will begin to bleed occasionally from any and every orifice. over the course of three months after full exposure, the victim will slowly loose all memories, mannerisms and emotions. The body eventually dies when the soul is completely dissolved. As the scrawl grows the pain inflicted by it grows until horribly unbearable. Though towards the end it can be difficult to tell as the victim becomes paralyzed for about a week before dying. The black scrawl is seen as the greatest plight one can suffer and most victims prefer to commit to suicide before the illness spreads. (Though it is unwise, as the scrawl harnesses the soul, entombing it with the dead body as to still devour it, victims who die before being killed by the illness are greeted by months of suffering within the confines of their dead and possibly buried corps before suffering the same fate as the living) for this purpose, ritualistic suicide aided by priests is offered to victims, granting them safe passage to heaven.

Welp.

We're gonna be burning the dead from now on.

>>69303
so can this stuff also effect anything with a soul or spirit in it or just living things like people and plants
because the way you make this sound is anything that gets hit with this stuff is just plain fucked.

it has been known to infect and kill the undead. In fact, most folks speculate that it was made by the gods to do just that. It's possible that it can kill non living, though spiritual things but no records hold any proof.

> I am bad at naming shit.
You can probably get us to do that for you, if it's a problem. In dis, and in advance, even, if it would break up the flow of the story to name things every time they appear.

>>69304
You have to wonder why cultures in settings with ancient necromantic evils never seem to burn all dead by default...

>>69307
Does that mean that most or all undead have souls?

Ok so what sort of horrible injury would we have suffered to a already dead bears body if we had rolled above a 95 on that last roll. That one was above completely ruining it.

>>70015
is that wrap around his arm meant to be for his busted right arm because if so you put it on his left arm instead. Also if he doesn't like women how does he fell about Eadoo then, who is both.

He's not fond... but he finds Eadoo to be more trust worthy than most women. He finds she has a particularly male persona.

I was just going to pop by and mention a theory on the pin and chuckle at the character sheet fix, when I noticed a bunch of posts (including mine) covered in redaction marks Like a plague that zombifies and slowly consumes the soul.

what do you mean? I don't see it

oh hahaa the redactions right... yeah...

eum... but your theory of the pin... I'd love to hear it~

I'm gonna get asked what the pin does... so I'll just put it in words.

Eadoo used the one time use, roll a 01 no exceptions, in that also merged the pin to himself. Eadoo now has:

Balefully unlucky - [Eadoo's expended his luck, he suffers +10 to all luck checks, how ever being one with luck he can bend it for others around him.(+/-10 to any luck check, so long as it doesn't affect himself)when he does horns or a halo appear momentarily)

well right now I think the pin is stuck on unlucky the way things have been going

So... permanent luck penalty in exchange for luck-bending of others?

That's going to be annoying when that messes up our ballistics and charm checks, but being able to mess with foes and boot allies isn't a bad power for a leader.

skill and luck are different... luck is any check that's tied to no factor... a gamble or a draw. random variables like Williams wounds or what limb got ruined when you overran the bear. ballistic is factored by skill.

Are the horns and halo visible to anyone but himself and us? And how long do they last if they are visible to everyone.

a few moments like... 20 seconds or so

Alright, I was thinking that the halo appeared because eadoo was the first one to use it in a selfless way, or the first one to actually invoke it properly (imagining that previous holders waited for the pin to work automatically and took coincidence to be a sign). That is also why I expected a permanent boon, instead of a bane.

>>70038
I think the penalty is because Eadoo had to actually burn some of her own personal permanent reserves of luck in order for the pin to power a resurrection.

(Dear gods, we've wasted so many resources on a stupid random encounter).

>>70032
...so it's only gonna mess with our attempts at getting lucky, then. Darnit, that's half the point of playing a rogue! :V

>>70069
is this chicks... I mean guys problem also have to do with the witch? cause that bitch seems to be the bane of a lot of people's existent.

So... does Martin just identify as male, or did he accidentally stumble across a polymorph trap or wear ID an amulet of change or what.

More importantly, which way does the manliness bonus apply, and when would he be subject to his own homophobe penalty? :V

(Geeze, first a misogynist and now this? Party needs some educating).

...also, very glad we talked this guy down instead of fighting him.

[spoilers]Is she's biologicaly a women why does she have a cock bulge? isn't that the deffinition of not biologicaly a woman?![spoilers]why do you do this flynn? I bet every single herm we see will join the team and they'll all have a big orgy! Why flynn why! and then we'll get angry at you but it'll all be in good fun, and you'll get upset and we'll have to comfort you and some maybe two guys will say mean things and you'll take them way to seriously and say that everyone hates you and not update for a while and and and... We love you Flynn

No but seriously Flynn we love you like you are, dont ever change! {Bro fist and or hug}

Also you aren't alone on the project is this the first time? Who else is there, anyone from tg?

Guessing the bulge is just his codpiece. Also people did decide on gender thing when the quest started. So a normal day on tg.

Sir Martin identifies as a man. She's gained the rights that come with being a man in the medieval ages. Which for those who don't know, are significantly higher than a woman's.

Martins seduction to the opposite sex applies to women. though seducing women can be hard when... you have tits... He considers men gay if they're attracted to himself.

a simple contest to see which quest has the biggest cock.

Is the kingdom full of Bright golden blondes?

the holy empire has mostly golden blonds with bright pink skin, more specifically "imperials". it's more common to see the "lesser" races of human in the lower districts. other breeds of human such as delvish (red heads with dark skin) and dirks (black hair with pale skin)

I'm in the mood to talk more of the lore of this world. I'm gonna hit all these topics sooner or later but how about you guys choose what first.

-trolls
-sugar touched/Ash touched
-the three kingdoms of man

holy empire sounds like a load of dicks. no wonder there's a rebelion against them. Let me guess, there's very few imperials in the rebels? Tell us about these sugar tuched

File 136745778598.jpg - (269.89KB , 1200x800 , ashtouched.jpg )

to fully understand sugar touched you must first know about the ash touched... They're sister races both made at the same time and both from the same blood.

The AshTouched are infernal creatures made of hell fire and hatred. And as it is with the creations of most infernal creatures, more than half the members involved really really didn't enjoy it...

It all started with a man, a man at the very end of his rope... In his dieing moments as the end of someone elses rope wrapped snug around his neck he wished and wished for someone to save him. Someone, anyone... A great devil appeared before him and offered to spare his life in exchange for his soul.
only moments after signing the infernal page he begged the devil to give it back as his shadow was ripped from his feet. He offered to gamble the souls of his family for his back. The man challenged the Devil to a duel of music.
"Curses! Curses!! Cccuuuurrrrsses!!" The Devil yelled "I cannot decline a duel of music of per the deamon code! What are your terms what's the catch mortal!"
The man pondered and pondered... "I challenge you to a duel of fiddles... But as a rule you cannot use magic." The devil shrugged. "fine let us..." The man interjected imminently "and! you must only use this... Sand! I how ever will use a masterwork fiddle that you will supply" The devil looked confused at the challenge but with great grief he could not refuse... And with that the man defeated the devil and regained his soul.
But the man was greedy, he didn't let the Devil leave... he challenged him to duel after duel, over and over... The man milked the Devil of it's magic asking for wish after wish. by the time the sun sunk into the ocean the man was little more than a monster.
The devil had never been so enraged. With what power was left in his husk he cursed the man. By his name the man and all of his descendants will never see the light of heaven. And with that he vanished running to have a specific rule redone.

And that's how they came to be.

Though the first was nearly godlike in power his descendants would only be a fraction of his glory and would be named the Ashtouched. Their skin is grey in color and taste, their hair is jet black and their eyes can be of any color or the rainbow. Ashtouched have horns and tails made of ash, they crumble easily though and are just as easily hidden. a hat and pants will do the trick nicely. They posses a hole through their chest though not in their backs, regardless of their hole the organs that would normally be in there are present though you'd have to cut around to find them... this has always confused those who would study these demons. Ashtouched live very long lives , about 800 to be precise, they're also quite hard to kill, Organs are not vital to them and they don't have blood to bleed out with. they can regrow lost limbs and bones in a matter of days and can even survive with almost their entire body gone. Some have even reported coming back from being mashed into a puddle of slimy bone gunk... Though they can be killed. An exorcism will do the trick, regardless of if The ashtouched are evil or kind. soaking the ashtouched in holy water for a whole month and seven days (regardless of how long the month is) will do it and finally thirst and choking can kill them. When they finally do die, their soul goes to hell, no matter how good or evil they were.

Ash touched are immune to any and all illness, poison and disease as well as pain. as it was one of the first's wishes. They drink ale, wine and alcohol as though it was water, they smoke herb and weeds as though it was air. how ever they can hold their breath for hours at a time see days when they sleep. Ash touched are never truly sober nor are they truly drunk. More specifically, they're always drunk, but become jaded to it early on in their lives.
Most ashtouched see life as the great ultimatum, no matter what they do in their lives, no matter how vise they choose to be, their ultimate fate wont change, some even see it as a challenge. they often Indulge themselves in every sin, every vise and pleasure thinking nothing of consequences. they never grow fat or sick, they never get hungry nor full. And without the fear of pain or death they simply live it up with disregard for lesser mortals who have a chance to heaven.

Some see life how ever, as the ultimate test, seeking to gain their place in heaven. They believe that if they deny the ultimate temptation they may be gifted with an afterlife that doesn't suck. How ever there are no confirmed reports of this ever working.

On top of being gifted with long life, health, and painlessness, All Ashtouched have special abilities unique to them selves. Though some traits may be seen from father to son and mother to daughter, their own sets of skills are unique to them.

The likes of men are scared and jealous of these demons, they're a danger to their lives and lifes. Some Ashtouched find pleasure in torture and genocide and for that reason they're killed on site.

Ashtouched are both men and women and are not naturally hermaphrodites. they can reproduce with humans and have a chance to create more ashtouched but cannot procreate among themselves.

Now that you know about ash touched you can understand sugar touched...

Man that was long! Who actully read that? Hands up.

Fun little referance to the song 'the devil went down to Georgia' there in how they got started. I presume then, that the Sugartouched, are basically the reverse, humans pumped full of angel magicks, although through a different story, no doubt...
Hrm... Would it be right for me to presume the pin melting into Eadoo happened as a sort of... Compensation due to THAT BIRD! I almost want to suggest that bird being caught and tamed by the Villian so as to ensure it's role as a mini-boss or something... Give us a chance to ride that sucker!

hand held high

So how rare are these things and are we ever going to come across one? (seeing how your mentioning this thing out of the blue I'm guess that's a yes most likely)

So then what are the sugar touched?

>Devil's can't refuse a duel
>The person who proffers the duel is allowed to set ridiculous terms so as guarantee victory.
...talk about a design flaw. Isn't this the reason that typically the challengee sets the terms, not the challenger?

Pretty egregious, really, especially since trapped contracts are supposed to be a devil's thing. Legal did not think that one through.

Yeah demons in this world seem a bit dumb.

Wait on the other hand maybe it was all a plot to end up with a race of pre-damned half demons? Who knows.

i noticed he never had a time limit. devil comes back with a fiddle of glass, and plays a song.

>>70362
Alternately, it might be plausible for the devil to be making up some or all of the rule.
A human winning their soul back is a short term setback for most contract devils, and in the long run it can be a spectacularly lucrative investment with the right setup. Once a devil gets a reputation as beatable, contracts with him suddenly seem drastically more attractive to mortals. Even if a few exceptionally clever mortals can legitimately win, they will statistically be heavily outnumbered by fools who think they are exceptional. And if the devil subtly disposes of those losers, they can ensure that people only ever hear about the winners...

SugarTouched

When the Ashtouched were created the sugar touched were as well. to honor his wishes the devil drained mounds of energy from the tides of fate. But the ashtouched are entities of pure negativity, and so the loose positive energy, unused, ran rampantly. As it was born from the tides of fate, the energy found it's way into a small girl... The mans daughter as it would have it. As the man wished and wished making himself the embodiment of perfection, delving into his own twisted ideals of pleasure, The girls body changed, warping over and over. As she slept soundly she turned into a thing of innocent happiness and childlike dreams.
Dreams of dark chocolate and sweet cream, mothers kisses and fathers warm hugs, the basking sun and cozy camp fires fueled the energy of pure positivity. the changes mirrored her fathers and by the time she awoke she was little more than a monster. But a monster of happiness none the less...

Generally plump and soft, their skin is of the purest white. their eyes are bright blue and their hair is red like cinnamon. SugarTouched skin is sweet and tender, their fat is similar to marshmallow on a hot summer day. their blood is brown like dark chocolate and tastes just as sweet. Sugar bones are brittle and crunchy, any one who once ate some easily confesses that it tastes: "A little too sweet, almost unpleasing."
SugarTouched have holes in their backs but not in their chests, quite similarly to their ash counterparts. They also have horns know as the crown, though seeing it is one of the rarest sights. the crown is possibly one of the sharpest natural forming objects in the known world and is just as sweet. Alchemist suspect it to be made of crystallized ambrosia. in response most crowns are eaten by the sugartouched that grow them.

Though most SugarTouched are plump and round, their size and shape differs from one to another, How ever like AshTouched they never get any larger from over eating or any smaller from starving themselves. SugarTouched eat and drink pleasure, they can eat mounds of gruel and die of starvation but survive on sex alone. Any form of pleasure is well suited to sustain a Sugartouched and the more the merrier. Most Sugartouched commit cannibalism, eating their sweet candy limbs only to grow them back and repeat. Some even have orgy like feasts, letting themselves be devoured over and over...
Like Ashtouched, SugarTouched are quite hard to kill, living just as long and needing just as many organs to live. Contrarily to Ashtouched, Sugartouched enjoy pain, feeling it as pleasant, contrarily to their Ash brothers who simply don't feel it. Likewise there are tricks to put them down. Starving them of pleasure can be difficult, but still does the trick. soaking them in hellfire for 666 hours will kill them and finally if a devil strikes them down they stay dead. Ashtouched can never kill Sugartouched by any means, and viseversa.

contrarily to Ashtouched, SugarTouched ascend to heaven after death, no matter how cruel, glutinous or maleficent they may have been in their life. with that in mind many Sugartouched engorge themselves in boundless pleasures. Eating, mating, playing, killing, torturing... Anything to fuel their thirst for fun, disregarding any and all consequences... even death. But unlike Ashtouched, who are on average cruel and maleficent. Sugartouched tend to be kind and innocent, seen as angels of kindness.
Unlike Ashtouched, Sugartouched do not posses supernatural powers beyond what's mentioned above.

All sugartouched are women and are not naturally hermaphrodites, they can only procreate among themselves however. The exact way this is done is a secret known only to them. reports claim that dozens can commit to producing a single child and not a single penis is needed during the process.

Well that's that... I'm sure that provoked more questions that solved.

In truth I had the melting thing planned out but exactly how it worked was a mystery to me. You guys suggested using the pin and i just made it happen.

Yeah, I've got a whole bunch of characters planned for allies and enemies. Not all will ever even make it to the quest though. But I assure that at least on ash and sugar are in the rosters.

Tgchan, overthinking it. Excellent analysis- intentional or not, what happened would seem to work in the devils' favor, long term. In exchange for one individual losing face (and some personal power?) they created a multiplying supply of pre-damned souls, and potentially lulled many more would-be deal makers into overconfidence.

Heck, the guy who wanted to win his soul back would have technically gone to hell too.

Screaming plant-people, go!

is it wrong of me to be more afraid of the sugar touched then the ash touched, cause the sugar touch freak the hell out of me. Also I can't help but wonder what it was like for that family the next day after all of this happened, Daughter seeing new daddy, Father seeing new daughter, Mother and any possible siblings freaking the fuck out.

As for what to see next might as well see what the three kingdoms of man are since in quest we are heading to one of them.

...Those guys... I've got to agree. They literally have no reason and probably no desire to even care about morals or want to do good.
As bad as being condemned without repentance is, pardon without revoke can be every bit as monsterous in it's effects on people.
I'm none too keen on the thought that Sugars AND Ash are twisted freaks, but at least they don't have the AshTouched powers. Now THAT is a nightmare of a thought!

that's creepy, yet oddly arousing. But mostly creepy. They eat their halos? isn't it super sharp? oh right, they like pain. Flynn you creepy bastard!

I think I'll tell now about the kingdoms of men... In the great lands of Allaria. smallest of the three continents. There are three kingdoms that bear humans as their master race. The Holy empire, The kingdom of Davis and Chronos [Kro-Nas].

The holy empire of man is the oldest of the three kingdoms. For as long as ever it has hosted humans at its breast. Though it shifted hands only but twice, it has always been ruled by the holy saints that are the kings of men, chosen by none other than god himself to rule over mankind, In this, holy order is second only to the king.
Though humans are the race of the holy empire, others live among them, though at the perils of discrimination. Not only elves and dwarfs but humans are subject to such discrimination. In the holy lands, imperials are noble. scarce few non imperials find nobility, Though it has happened that they "rise above themselfs".

The current Ruler is King Jacob Dukkan the third.[as poorly depicted here] Renown for his laughter that shakes the halls and his playful nature. Dukkan 3rd Is the first imperial king to bear a druid as a right hand man. Though as it is tradition he bears a merchant as his left hand. His rule brought a great advancement to the kingdoms wealth, and with it a better life style for all, Even peasants.

Though a rebellion has risen in the past years. The order of the claw follows the charismatic words of a masked leader known as Vise. She tells that the kingdom is of imbalance, that the likes of men should not suffer the prejudice that the imperials oppress upon them. That they should rise up and assume their place among the noble for what their worth and not for the color of their skin and hair! And that the kingdom of Davis, live among others, orcs and goblins, dwarfs and horses. though Vise secretly, simply wishes for war.

The kingdom of Davis is at war with the holy empire, as has it been for well over a hundred years. Though oddly enough Davis [the curious king] waved the war aside until the Dukkan resolves his issues with the non loyalists.

Erk... that last drawing was so hideous, I had to brush up on my art. if there's a resemblance in this next one it's because I based myself on the shapes and figures of various figures. I'm sure you'll recognize them...

The second grand kingdom is that of Davis. It's flag bears white and black as well as olive and salmon, as they are the very foundation of the nation.
The kingdom of Davis conquers and puts to peace. Lord Davis is a conqueror, where ever he sets foot he possesses. But though he extends his kingdom endlessly, gathering many lands under his rule, he does not change the nature of those which he conquers. Davis claims that each land and it's people have made love to his heart and pushed him to add them to his collection, Sadly sometimes by force, to assimilate villages and cities that caught his heart would be counter intuitive. instead he has them pay taxes and respect his authority. to donate warriors and soldiers. To share trade routes and offer goods to the capital. But their laws, their culture and even their religion is left intact. With this in mind many prefer to follow Davis rather than to fight him. As of late Davis has found a passion for the holy empire.

Lord Davis, also known as the curious king, is... Well just that, a very very curious figure. He has been alive for nearly two hundred years and still possess all of his youth. He claims not to know why or where his long life came from. His reasoning is not always the best how ever. Many have claimed him to be mad, a pervert and warmonger at that.
Lord Davis traditionally marries the most beautiful woman from each tribe, village, city and colony he claims. Gathering for him a large harem of lovers. Though he pleases his harem regularly he produces very few children. In the last 90 years he only had 12, the latest being a particularly normal horse by the name of Anabela. This of course is not natural! Oddly enough the king seems able to produce children with any race or being, regardless of compatibility, when they do come by. Adding on to his Curious being. Each one is gifted with a power of his/her own. Reliqu, the cat prince, is renown for his seduction and extensive army. Turka The orc princess is capable of turning water into wine and Anabela sings so well, animals often come to dance and frolic or even commit to house cleaning or solving her various misfortunes.

But possibly the oddest thing about the king... is his choice in clothes. You see... One day a leprechaun offered to have him made, the very finest clothes a man could ever ask for in exchange for thirty virgins and a ton of gold. Davis was curious as of to what he had to offer and gave him half the prime in advance. The leprechaun returned with the most beautiful clothes imaginable and a matching suit of fully plated armor. How ever they were so amazing only a king could see them. Davis was so astounded he had a volley of them made as well as his royal drown and gave the leprechaun double what he asked.
And so don't be overly confused if he wanders around naked...

it's this odd man that inspired Eadoo to be king.

how likely is it that we are going to meet any of these kings?

entirely likely that you meet Dukkan, if you meet any of the other two is entirely up to you and fate

on that note should I explain about the last kingdom?

Obvious question- which country's borders are we within? I'm guessing the empire, since it's got rebels and you said meeting Dukkan is likely.

>>70435
Okay, the only response appropriate for that guys is flat what.

>>70439

The third and last kingdom of man is Chronos, the kingdom of masks.
Chronos has no flag, they simply never understood the use, how ever many times they may of been explained in detail. It's a land of equality and massive ridges in status. Chronos is a land of sand and dust, found in the middle of the driest parts of the world.

In the kingdom of Chronos, each individual is part of a greater whole, all peasants are no more than that, peasants. Merchants are merchants and nobles are nobles. People in Chronos wear masks. Every peasant wears a mask, the mask of peasants, all peasants masks are the same. Every noble wears a noble mask and so on so forth. everyone with the same mask bears the same right and same possessions as they are the same.
To the people of Chronos, peasant is a person with a million bodies. guard has half that amount and nobles half that... the order of things go, libertin, peasant, merchant, guardsman, noble, philosophers of the king and finaly king. and to each their mask.

A libertin is a man lesser to peasants who pride being a person more than part of society. libertines have no mask of their own, each libertin has his own mask to speak of.
Peasants have simple white, square, plain masks as they are made in the most massive bulk. peasants are the absolute most numberus and hold up the entire kingdom with their efforts. It's for this reason that the peasant class is best payed for their efforts. The wealth of the peasants is not divided among the folk that populate it though, it's shared. Each peasant owns, in his own right, every coin the peasant class makes. In that every house, every ounce of food, every plate, every bed, every child, every wife of the peasant class is the property of each peasant, as they are all one, as the peasant. to the kingdom they all hold so dearly.
the same goes for merchants who trade goods and guards who keep peace. Nobles who maintain the kingdom and philosophers who guide the king. their property is owned by their class... Even the king owns his own possessions, the king does not have rights over that which is owned by the nobles or the guards or even the peasants. the king owns only what the king owns. and since he's the highest up he's payed the least... How ever since king is the class with the absolute least numbers he owns the most as a person and in comparison any one peasant is infinitely poor.

Women and children are valued at one lower than a man of that class and bear their own mask for each rank.
The kingdom of Chronos Thrives rather well, having never seen illness spread across their lands or plagues of vermin or curses. They avoid outsiders watching them closely if they must approach. And their regime must never be broken.

>>70440
yes Eadoo is currently in the holy kingdom of Dukkan.

>>70445
...yeeaaah I'm crossing this place off of my vacation destination list, it sounds way to creepy. The way they have there system set up, god damn they are just one bad day away from having everything fall down around them, and I do not want to be there the day that happens.

>>70445
So a series of castes, each of which are ultra-communistic.
...King fairytales from the previous kingdom description is still stranger in my opinion.

Is the cat prince humanoid? And what power does the princess who is a mostly normal horse have?

>>70445


Curious question, since this now has intrigued me more then anything else.

What if someone from the "Libertines" or Any other class takes a mask from the "Noble" or "Merchant" mask, and places it on. Does that mean he is now apart of that caste?

Is there some manner of deciding how someone has their mask to begin with?

Will next chapter be on the same thread?

the cat prince is half human half cat and the horse can sing animals to her aid... or just to dance while dusting old houses and doing dishes and such.

Let me get the charts out to explain why they don't mix.

in fantasy settings dragons can make half-ANYTHING even half-slimes. as in a dragon does it with a pile of acidic goo and somehow a new pile of acidic goo that can SHOOT FIRE appears.

Half dragon shambling mounds were in the official Draconomicon. That means a dragon had to go out and fuck a pile of semi sentient plant matter. Horrible flying perverts is what they are.

>>71210

well it isn't in my draconomicon so links or it didn't happen.

Nope you are right I dug mine up and re read over it. I know one of the books had a section on a black dragon who guarded its territory with half dragon shambling mounds and just assumed it was that one.

I'm ready to start a new chapter of Eadoo but I don't have the free time to update at the speed I'd like... I'll try to make time for it... but for now I'm thinking of a name for the chapter... maybe dawn of a new day... or adventure... or maybe... I'm gonna fuck that city over there and everyone in it...

How about you guys make a subtitle for it while we wait~!

Kingdom or bust, Big trouble in little Kobold, Kingbold for a day, Hmm that's all I got right now.

"Keeping our pants on this time".

>>72209
More like "no pants to keep on"

So does Eadoo wear boxers or panties? Or would the panties need to be "special" order. Now the image is stuck in my head.

Question: what classes are available for Eadoo to pursue? We may be a Rogue right now, but later we may want to choose something more....Kingly.

>>72240
Blasphemy, rogue kings are the best kings. Thieves also make excellent kings.

Kingpin of course.

>>72240
Prestige class: charming rogue. Gives a significant bonus to all cha rolls, and allows us to roll cha as a stackable bonus against other rolls. :V

>>72247
Would we get circumstance bonuses for snappy one-liners?

>>72240
Rogue can eventually class up into either bard or thief... by the looks of it, you guys will be bard.

>>72247
yeah it's kinda like that.

I'm already liking this new thread
1) Name title "Keeping our pants on this time" even though the cover picture for the thread is Eadoo standing nude
2) get three post in and already ruin the title by revealing the lie that it is
3) ... I'll let you know when I stop laughing

Oh and why was Eadoo sleeping naked next to a dead rotting bear? I mean I know we're in the bear but earlier she wouldn't even let us hug him and now Eadoo is willing to cuddle with us nude? Did I miss something?

freezing winter is cold and you have a nice fur coat... though a little dirty, its warm... indeed Eadoo would be far less reluctant to hug you... maybe once her naughty bits go down though...

I'm just glad eadooquest got a third chapter and didn't get a permanent hiatus

Is Eadoo circumsized or is that part of being a Kobold?

I forget, was Eadoo a kobold or human before the Chaos Witch cursed her?

If we classify Eadoo's gender+sexuality as King, that may mean we have to replace any use of her/him with 'the King'.

Example:
>"Look at Eadoo, can't you see she's tired?"
>"Look at Eadoo, can't you see The King is tired?"

>>72925
>>"Look at Eadoo, can't you see The King is tired?"
Self-correction:
>"Look at Eadoo, can't you see our King is tired?"

first off. Sorry for the slow update rate. I do what I can when I can.

>>72925
eum... Eadoo does still have foreskin... so no... I think? hold on let me check, I always mess up the two...

she was and egg before the witch cursed her and she was born a weak small and frail female kobold instead of a big strong manly kobold... though she kept the penis she would of had, and it's just as manly and has all the vigor as it would of been/had...

I agree with us classifying he/she/it as king for Eadoo...

>>73092

Technically the witch was the one who made Eadoo a big strong manly kobold in the first place, so I don't know if that counts as cursing our king.

tell us more about random facts of the setting. nothing like a fleshed out world

havent had time lately... but I'll make time.

My personal opinion of Eadoo quest went from mildly disinterested and kinda disappointed to very interested and fully invested in only two posts,

>>74509
From what I can tell based off of my withdrawn suggestion, it seems like every suggestion is used unless it's argued down, withdrawn, or conflicting with another. And it *is* nice to be included like that, I have to say.

So, does anyone here have any good ideas on how to break Shenzi to our will? Because I don't think there will be much of a chance to reform her unless we tear down her giant ego.

I was thinking that we could offer her "services" as a reward to any of the tribe that did well at stuff we have them do.

Like whoever brought the most food back could do what they liked to her for the night.

But am worried about the whole knife in the side thing. Don't want to have it get loose or cause any extra damage to her body.

>>74550
That's easy! First we sedate Shenzi's body so she is unconscious and cannot react. Then we remove the knife and treat the wound. Then we replace our form within her in a place where it won't fall out or cause any damage.

Speaking of Shenzi, do we know what physical stats she has? Because now that we have a semi-permanent body, those are now effectively our physical stats.

>>74509
if I picked you so often it's because your posts were spot on and you should feel good about it, which you apparently do... yeah~!

>>74510
yup that's pretty much it, unless also the post kinda doesn't correlate with the current action A)talking about long term strats.

Oh man she is a bard? No wonder she took it hard when we beat her at singing.

She can dance? We`ll dance for Eadoo, and see where it goes from there.

It's kind of crazy how many people are hoping Sh3nzi and Eadoo hook up - rapey or no... not that I personally have any problem with that. Even makes a certain amount of sense from the gnoll > hyena > sexual dominance standpoint.

>>74915
...I really don't understand why it's so hard to convince people that mind control rape is an absolutely terrible thing we shouldn't even be remotely considering.

>>74918
Seriously, this. The only reason I suggested it was because I didn't know she was completely unable to resist our commands.

Look, just because she's a rapist doesn't mean it's okay to rape her, especially mindrape. Two wrongs do not make a right, especially when the second wrong is much worse than the first one.

I'm just saying I understand the reasoning. I don't think anyone is disputing that rape is evil, but it would still be an option for (possibly) getting Shenzi as a stable follower. I just think it really doesn't fit how Eadoo has been developing so far. (As an aside, the "didn't know she was under complete control" thing doesn't hold water for me - it doesn't matter whether she has "some" free will - the whole "starts out as rape but then she ends up liking it" is a creation by porn people to allow those who enjoy rape as a fantasy lie to themselves to assuage their guilt. If you're being raped it doesn't matter what your body does - it's rape and it's awful.) Either way though, I'm not judging. It's all imaginary ffs. Thoughtcrime isn't here... yet.

(Btw, I read those two responses as kind of gripes against me, if I misread, then my apologies and ignore that first bit.)

OK long-ass post incoming

I think we have two "paths" to possibly getting Shenzi as a follower / companion. We can try to outdo her at her own game and dominate her via threats of violence / violation. The up side is we wouldn't have to challenge her worldview or "fix" her personality to achieve this - just convince her we really are the bigger bitch. We also may be able to lure back the more violent gnolls who didn't accept us initially if they see we can be just as bad as the last boss (kinda doubt this though). The down side is, judging by her stats and previous behavior, it may just be impossible to dominate her this way. Her whole persona is so centered on being Queen Bitch that she a) may not be able to ever accept that we are really in charge or b) once she realizes it's true, may be so damaged by her broken ego that she's never really as strong a follower as she was as a leader (ie lost perks / more disadvantages). I think it's also important to note that probably the best case scenario ends with her just being a host body. We could never trust her without the knife.

The second option is to slowly earn her trust/respect to the point where she either accepts us as a "pack" leader or companion AS WELL AS slowly try to change her thinking and steer her away from the whole raping, pillaging Queen Bitch persona she's been operating her pack under. I think this is probably going to be much more difficult and slow, but in the long run better for us. We have the chance to come out with a very strong warrior, who (if we manage a true conversion) would be more than just a host for us (which don't forget, her as a permanent host means if we ever run into a combat situation where we really need to try to knifejack somebody else, we're going to be stuck with a rampaging gnoll with every reason to try to get some bloody revenge).

I think the key to making this work is back when she said "Shenzi: I'm not weak... assholes... I'm not...." This could be a hint that her methods of leadership and behavior aren't just because she's a jerk doing what jerk gnolls do - she's overcompensating for some serious self-doubt. (It also stands to reason that she grew up in a similar pack and probably spent a long time in a weaker position until she grew strong enough to leave / take over). If we get her to confront this and convince her that our way is a better, stronger way, (and that SHE can be stronger) maybe that will start us on the path to getting her to trust us instead of hate us. If we want to get a little meta, we also know she has a weakness for liquor and is very territorial towards other females (I suppose males aren't usually rivals in gnoll society). So possibly help her overcome her addiction, and convnice her to look at Eadoo as a male - not a weak one, but at least not a female who 'must' be challenged for dominance. (she was supposed to be born male, right?). The more I think about it, the more I doubt we'll ever be able to get her as a willing companion who also sees herself as our inferior. The best we can hope is earn enough gratitude and respect that she does us the "favor" of coming along with us to bash heads.

One final thing to consider is how Martin is going to take to all this given his homophobia. After all, if he's decided that Eadoo is a male, he may decide the same about Shenzi - in which case all of her past um, activities, with her underlings definitely would be "going against god". (Nvm the whole rapist thing, who knows which of our companions apart from Will have issues with that.)

Gnoll politics are frustrating.

According to Flynns description of the black scrawl, those who have their soul eaten loose their memories and personality, we could eat some of her memories to reformat her if things don't work.

>>74996
Yeah, I suppose zombifying her is always a viable third option, I just personally think it would be a shame to wipe a full character when we might have the chance to add her as a follower instead.

>>74919

We did become Neutral, rather then good or evil, we could choose anything we really wanted afterall.

>>75032
Guess that's true. So far we've been on the good side I'd say, and our companions are too... but, this is certainly a point where we could go the other direction and flex our tyrant muscles. Doubt we'll come to a consensus though.

Also made a more porn savy version, for you pervs out there... happy fapping~

But lets get back to serious now

It really didn't take long for this to hit serious gutter quality. It's a shame, your art is so good, and you were hinting at some iconic struggle, ut it's gotten so... disjointed. It's the non-gender binary squad with maximum tits and cock.

Give the anonymous masses control and suddenly it's bondage, submission, and rape. Porn can ruin a quest? Fine, but this isn't something the players even went straight for. First it's getting laid in the tavern (that makes sense), but from there on it's superfluous unnecessary addition of every chance possible to insert cock or pussy into it. The most overcompensating transexual isn't going to drop their pants to prove they are a man. Waking up with a hard on might be realistic, but it contributes nothing to the already meandering story.

I mean, it could still be good AS porn, but you are past the point of no return and then some by this point. This is Porn quest, wannabe king.

Meh, I think it's alright. Flynn set a general vibe and we kinda just followed it. And it wouldn't be . Flynnquest without blatant pornography, but in his own words, let's get serious now

I think it's fine; and if someone doesn't like Flynn's stuff, they are free to follow a different quest. As long as a quest has fans, who cares about content? There are others I've checked out that don't stick for me; but it's all a matter of taste.

I think a sex quest is fine if that's what you set out to make, but if I recall, Flynn had eventual problems with previous quests due to their slides into porn distracting from what they were intended to be. It wouldn't be good for that to happen again.

Like, quest authors have to shepherd their suggesters a little, you know? You can indulge the sex suggesters a bit, sure, but do it too much and then all the other suggestions will fade away and the quest will grind to a halt.

Eh, I enjoy it either way. Sex, serious quest. Serious sex quest, All good.

I suppose that's true, but I don't think it's something to worry about here. Flynn has been updating very regularly, so clearly he's working hard on this. It's early to be calling doom and gloom, and personally I don't think we've really diverted from the story at all. Just worked out that the story involved some sex. Like Flynn said, now we can move on to the next thing. (Also, there have been many many many many sex suggestions ranging from vanilla to "quick rape everything in sight" that Flynn *has* glossed over; so I'd say he's herding us pretty well.)

>>75448
Also this, for me personally. And Flynn did a full spoiler for those who have disagree and don't want to read or see anything.

>we should have a body drawn. Artists spirits! Do your things

Why didn't I think of that??!
If anyone wants to submit a drawing of what your spirit form looks like feel, free to do so as of now. If you're not very good at drawings you can simply describe your idea and maybe a friendly artist will make it happen! If you like to draw but don't have ideas maybe a friendly thinker will show you the way~

By the way, I do speak 5 year old doodle, so don't be shy~

>>75718
Finally got around to sketching out an idea for how Gatling might appear to others in dream / telepathy situations. Initially was thinking a dichotomous good/evil version of a kodama from Princess Mononoke basically, but after the head it just kinda turned into this. I'm thinking he would appear to be made of a tarry / goopy ectoplasm gunk sorta stuff with a transparency and consistency that could vary depending on which aspect of his persona is at the forefront - when good he would perhaps be less tarry and more wispy and shining a golden light like a typical portrayal of a good spirit. The "snake" eye is actually the good side, and at the moment is dormant - appearing almost to just be painted on and not a real eye at all. When "open" it would actually be more of a beautiful slanted cat eye shape, golden or amber and the evil side would be just a very basic circular shape with a violet pupil and no iris.

Being a purely spiritual entity, his body would be malleable and theoretically he could reshape himself to appear differently, but I think things like color and texture and his head should remain semi-static so there's consistency in how he appears. I figured worm/snake works since he's in a lot of ways a spiritual parasite, latching onto host bodies. Could even work in a slow change to the chains / manacles on Shenzi and eventually have it turn out that was Gatling all along - wrapped all around her like a giant leech-octopus-tubeworm beasty, just appearing as chains because that's how Shenzi's mind interpreted his presence.

Aesthetically this is all a bit creepy, and I left room on the canvas intending to do a more "cute" or friendly version he might adopt when he's trying not to freak folks out - his idea of a smile. But I fail at making a cute that matches Flynn's stuff, so I'll leave it for another.

Oh, and tail hand because he wants to say hi, and thingamajig on his head because I was going to make it more pronounced and flipped forward in the cute mode... but I leave that in the hands of Flynn who is much much better than I for cuteifying things. (Assuming this is used at all - was fun in any case.)

well here's my best efforts to recreate your submission but make it less creepy... I think I made it more creepy... and didn't capture it's essence...

>>76125
Well probably just replacing the snake body with typical ghost body (transparent tattered cloth/armor with no legs) would help if you wanted to cut the creepy down further. I really like how you did his head. The embedded halo especially.

Actually I will agree, the horn/halo thing is quite an interesting look at the neutral based feeling of it.

Though I think the evil eye should be an inverted good eye. Black iris with a yellow pupil

Ditch worm body, something more humanoid. Better for embracing/hugging/cuddling etc.
Also invert the eye color, yellow on black.
For possible clothing. Our good side could be dressed in formal wear. While our evil side is clad in tattered/ rusted armor. Which would accent our bi-polar nature. In that we call for peace at times, and at others cry for blood.

File 137895861436.jpg - (378.92KB , 1600x1200 , Gatling 2 b copy.jpg )

Running out of steam here, so I'll throw up what I was working on. Very sketchy still, but you can get the gist. Think Gat's apparel should be sort of in grayscale, so the cape is sort of the neutral - tattered, but not too dark and still beautiful and imposing in a way; the armor bits almost look like a photo negative, so dark they seem to eat the light around them; then a monastic / paladin looking robe under it all and down one arm - loose and regal, like something a buddhist monk might wear.

Legs or not, could see it going either way - could also just pull a casper and have his robe fade more and more as you go down.

Was going to make his "evil" arm a little grotesque and furry. I don't think a completely human anatomy is the way to go, but his other arm and hand would be more human.

A bifurcated tail could be cool too (thinking of the first image of the first thread) - starts as one, then splits half way down with one tail being demonesque and the other being... a lion? dunno

*I'm also not completely sure about whether his body should have any difference from side to side... it's kind of been done a lot. May be better just to let his face and clothing/armor communicate his dual nature*

I'd say just leave the dual-ness on the face, and dress us in a suit. A nice suit can scream good or evil, all depending on how you present yourself.

It's kind of a classic for the trickster to appear that way, and that's basically what we are.

Like a modern business suit? I kinda think the clothing should match the setting (fantasy/medieval). There haven't been any anachronisms so far, so it would kinda clash to have Gat in a 3 piece.

I'd say that of a noble. A noble can be good or evil, power corrupts, they say. Generosity or greed. Give or take.

a friend of mine, who would like to remain anonymous, payed for a series of drawing, a commission I gladly accepted. Basically it's a what if scenario of the encampment events. I like to call it the game over series. It's non cannon but falls withing the very possible events... the next series I'm making for him is during, or rather after the tent sex scene...

There's more pics I didn't post on e621... somewhat more explicit... Hens why he wanted to remain anonymous, and also to avoid making a ruckus on tg. I could post them on 621 or maybe post the tamer ones here... your call folks...

>>76916
I don't know. It had potential in the beginning but it's gotten pretty gross and now it seems like it's a quest in service of its messed-up perversions. I guess that's Flynnmerk for you.

Well you're entitled to your opinion, just remember others are as well and some of us are fine with the "perversions" and have faith that the story will continue. Personally I think Flynn dialed back on how explicit things have been lately; but I suppose you're bothered by Roz getting bedicked? (If so then yeah this might not be the quest for you. Could have been titled Eadoo's Quest: the Endickening).

>>76947
>others are as well and some of us are fine with the "perversions"
>this might not be the quest for you

But the issue with quests is, quests need their suggesters to help guide the way it goes - and a variety of suggesters, at that. When certain things turn up that can turn some people away - for example, penises - they need to be handled carefully. If you're clumsy about how you're using them, it can lead to a big mess and a disappointment on both sides. You have to watch where you put them and make sure you can maintain your stamina. Don't push it too far or for too long.

That's enough innuendo.

Seriously, though. Certainly, one shouldn't shy from any subject, especially one that's important to the story you want to tell, but you need to be careful. If you stray into territory that repels some people, and push it too much, they most likely won't say anything - they'll just stop reading and stop suggesting, which makes it hard to realize that it's happening. Then, that leaves you with only suggesters who are ok with it. And in the specific case that said content is sexual, the people who are ok with it are often the people who actually want it, which means that they'll make suggestions that lead to more such content. If you follow those suggestions, you can end up pushing away more of the border people, further lowering your readerbase and eliminating the people who would suggest "away" from the sexual content. Eventually, you can end up with a majority of readers whose primary interest is just in the sex, and since those readers are helping guide what happens, the actual story falls by the wayside and eventually dies.

In short: you need to pace yourself with some subjects, or you can end up in a declining cycle of diminishing readership that diverts the whole thing into a doomed porn quest.

>>76948
Can't really argue with anything you said regarding the danger of devolving into a porn quest by slowly alienating those interested in things besides porn; however I do think Flynn handled this most recent unexpected penile intrusion as tactfully as possible and thus feel safe thinking that the quest shall continue with no more than a 50/50 porn/story ratio ;D If he were only catering to the porn folks we would have had Roz's dick slapping us in the face for the last three panels. Personally my penis would have been okay with that, as he's a friendly fellow who likes to meet pants-comrades, and I'm sure Flynn would have no problem with it, so I can only assume that Roz kept it in her pants because a) it made sense that she has no interest in flashing it around and b) Flynn is aware that there is such a thing as too much penis, and for some of his readers that starts at 1.

As an aside, the transgender/intersex aspect of many of the characters is part of what makes them interesting for me. When handled well it adds a whole facet to a character and allows for storytelling about situations that might not normally even occur to the average individual. If you've never actually met a transperson then you probably have never considered what their view is, what their life has been like, the sorts of conflicts they may have gone through, the things that are harder, the things that are easier. Gender dysphoria is a hell of a thing, especially if the person is in a society where most are hostile or ignorant of the condition. Granted, that doesn't seem to be the case here thus far, but it still makes the characters more complex. Would Martin and Roz's relationship be as interesting if he were a genetic male?

Anyway, just my .02.

>>76867

If doing commissions offsite is what's wrong with tgchan, I don't think trying to fix that would leave many authors...

I'm not saying the quest has gotten that far, I'm just saying hey, be careful. I'd say that even 50/50 porn and story, as you say, is a dangerous level.

See, porn quests are always doomed. It's a simple matter of biology; people who want to read porn either are horny or become so when they read it; and when they're not horny, perhaps because they've satisfied themselves for the evening, they stop wanting to read porn. If you don't have enough non-porn, then you won't be able to engage their interest enough for them to stick around when they're not horny. And in general, it's when they're not horny that they'll make actual story suggestions, whereas when they are horny they'll just want to make suggestions that lead to more porn. And the more porny the quest is, the more likely they'll be horny by the time they read up to the section where they can make suggestions. So you not only have the problem of alienating some of your readership to begin with, but you can put your remaining readers in a mental state where they won't care for much except making porny suggestions. This is why so many sex quests have died. They are, at the very least, harder to keep going for very long. And it can be a honey trap, because sex quests often provoke enthusiastic praise from their audience.

Again, I'm not making condemnations or saying you need to get rid of certain things, and as you say, transgender characters (for example) are entirely valid and can be very interesting; and I'm not saying this quest is under some cosmic destiny of failure or that it's a bad quest or anything like that. I'm just trying to air a bit of advice: stay self-aware, and take some care.

>>76977
Actually the 50/50 was a joke, hence the winkin' smiley. ;D I think the ratio is way lower than that throughout the whole quest, unless stuff like half-nude semi-tribal gnolls counts as sex. Anyway, I respect your opinion and can't really refute your conclusions re: the dangers of a porn quest (I just don't think Eadoo's qualifies). I also respect the levelheaded way you expressed your view. It's a nice change to see legitimate constructive criticism/advice on this board rather than the usual polar opposites of flames/trolls or mindless praise/white knights.

What object?

Any other suggestions?

I didn't get time to work on anything yet, but I think it should be something lighthearted and humorous since that's always been a strong point of this quest. Ideally it would also show or symbolize how Eadoo's group has grown, since that's probably the biggest thing she's accomplished since the start of the quest. Just throwing out a few things off the top of my head: different characters as floating heads like the Brady Bunch intro. Or a few members of our party playing an intense game of poker with some of the villains (maybe strip poker but pg rated with just some folks down to their underwear and so on). Or maybe just a sort of zoomed out scene from camp in the evening with different characters getting up to different activities - some might be playing a dodge ball sort of game, some might be gambling, some might be listening to a story, some might be drooling while Bacon cooks, etc.

You could also do a sort of continuation of the chapter 2 picture - a similar scene with Eadoo standing on a high vantage point, gazing out across the land - except this time with all of her companions surrounding / backing her up.

You could also do a variation on "Pose as a team, because shit just got real" a la

Has a very Legend of Zelda feel to it, with the pointy ears and fairy. Not that that's a bad thing.

File 138427987584.jpg - (420.47KB , 800x935 , money explained.jpg )

Welp! I figure it's about time I make concrete on how money works in my quest... As we're about to spend some of it.

The Royal imperial coin is very wide spread throughout the land of Allaria, though it depicts the kings head and emblems, it is commonly used by other communities, such as dwarfs and elves, as the coins are made of precious metals, though their face value might not be exact when not in the hands of an imperial merchant.
The imperial measurement for coinage can easily be seen as flawed and meaningless, but the reason for such strange increments is that the actual value of the coins, are its weight in material. For such reason, many imperial merchants prefer trading coins by weight and not face value.
The coins have names based on their backside, copper coins are known as teeth, silver coins as rooks, gold coins are called crowns, adamantine coins are known as Thrones and empirium coins are called empires... Though empirium coins are very rare and scarcely traded.

Copper coins are the bread and butter of the peasant folk, most men work full weeks for a handfull of teeth and can barely sustain their wife and kids.
Silver coins are the work of currency, the more common of the coins, a rook or two could have a quality suit made and a spare few could cover to buy a good sword.
Gold coins are the dreams of adventurers, a single coin is worth a family's food for a month. toss a few crowns around and a house can quickly arise from nothingness.
Adamantine coins are polishes to a glistening turquoise, coveted by wealthy merchants, they serve mostly as currency for mass trade. The rare metal is found deep below the magma sea.
Empirium coins are the rarest of all, its said that a single coin could buy an empire, hence the name.

measurements:
12 copper = 1 silver
40 silver = 1 gold
20 gold = 1 adamantine
128 adamant = 1 empirium

current standing:
Eadoo has 7Sc 8Cc (the elf gave him a fair sum hopping the best for him) + about 4Gc in pelts
Shenzi has 29Sc 53Cc
Martin has 2Gc 15Sc 30Cc
Banzai has a great sum but refuses to tell how much "no offence, but last time I told a "good friend" exactly how much money I own, he tried to kill me in my sleep" (though most of his wealth is in the vaults of the imperial merchants guild)

>>77592
That's actually pretty neat. Seems like you put a lot of thought into the money system. I wonder whether Banzai is in the adamant league of merchants yet... It's also nice that we seem to have enough to give everyone in our party some tlc/r&r. Let's spread the wealth and put a smile on as many faces as we can.

Changing the subject off money for a second,(Even though it is cool, and I love that Banzai is a merchant, and I wanna see him use his skills and do cool merchanty things) I noticed on the http://tgchan.org/wiki/Eadoo's_Quest page it lists Gatling as being a "Level 6 male/female Sentient Shard" when Gatling reached level 7 in the second thread just after taking over Shenzi and gaining the gnolls as followers.

I am also wondering why Gatling started as level 5 to begin with, level 5 with nothing to show for it but taking longer to level up to higher levels and gain new abilities. At level 5 we had no abilities, no stats, nothing. Unless it's all 'forgotten' and will come back later it makes little sense, every other character has at least their level number of abilities, and we are level 7 with only 2 abilites, and we don't even have stats, wouldn't taking control of a living creature be an opposed mental check of some kind(will or something?)? We should at least have mental stats, elsewise what happens when we face a dragon or some kind of nearly all powerful being? Stab knife in and auto-control them?

And supposing along with these telepathic powers we gain telekenisis at some point(it'd be so cool if we did) to stab ourselves into things should all our allies be incapacitated, we'd probly need physical stats for how powerful a stab or throw or whatever we could do too, but if it's a psychic thing it could probly be substituted for mental checks, since it'd be a power of the mind(s) thing.

Anyhow, just wondering what's up with level being wrong on that page and less abilities per level than anyone else and no stats is about.

>>77609
>Unless it's all 'forgotten' and will come back later

Bingo~

But yes you are right, you should have some mental stats... I'll think something up real soon, I should of done this sooner! thank you kind sir for bringing this to light~

>>77610
What about fixing the level? It says level 6 when we made level 7. Much as I like being able to make another level sooner than later I feel like it should be kept up to date and not forgotten. And while being OP and auto-mind controlling anything is cool, I honestly feel like it'd be more interesting if some highly intelligent and willful creatures might be able to resist long enough to remove our shard.

But like if they are forced to keep fighting with our allies and don't get a moment to remove us, we might get another check to try and take over. Though, so far Shenzi has been the only living thing we took over, and she probly wasn't that hard. But if it was a wizard or necromancer or something with a powerful mind, it should be harder. I would think since we wouldn't really have physical stats, our mental abilities might be something to be reckoned with though, for our level anyhow. Min/maxing for the win, all mental stats and no physcial ones at all.

>why's the level wrong?
Because it's really easy to forget to change the level when copy and pasting new feats into the wiki.

And because the stats on the wiki are reader-complied references, not the DM's notes, nor maintained by him.

And because the wiki has like 1.5 active members maintaining it and I don't spend all my time double checking a single quest's minutia.

Geeze. Fixed.

>>77614
I'm sorry... I thought it was maintained by Boy With The Broken Halo

Yeah sorry about not supporting my own wiki page, I tried once but cant remember why it didn't work... I think I tried to make an account or something, but that didn't work for some reason... I'll try again~

It's fine, the number of authors who actually maintain their own stat pages is pretty small (and mostly limited to very stat and mechanics driven quests). There's certainly no obligation.

(And my response was probably testy-er than it should have been, anyways).

Wait, 1,228,800 copper is enough to buy an empire?
If it takes a week to earn a "handful", then lets assume "handful" means seven. So it's 1 copper to feed a family for a day. Equate that to 4 adults.
The absolute minimum cost to field an army is the cost to feed it. So one empirium is 307,200 soldier-days, or enough to keep an army of 3,413 fed for 90 days. Wages and equipment would cut that down significantly.

That's not enough money to run a nation, but it could be enough to hire mercenaries to conquer one for you. Or, more realistically, bribe a monarch to abdicate the throne to you.

>>77641
Good math~
I'm glad you asked about the empirium. I've been meaning to post a series of walls of text depicting more of the lore in my quest, I guess I'll start with The War Of Empirium!

the posts will likely have more than one image to break up the walls into smaller fences of text. but don't expect amazing artwork, its just for show and tell.

>>77641
Another thing to consider: medieval nations are small. We're used to today's superpowers like Russia, China, and America with armies millions strong. That doesn't appear to be the case here. Medieval nations were commonly little more than city-states, and armies and wars were much smaller than they are today. An army of 10,000 was considered immense.

Let's say you have an army of 1,000. One empirium coin could keep them fed for most of a year- 307 days, 4 hours, 4 minutes, and 48 seconds, to be oddly precise. That's probably enough to pay officials, keep a smallish standing army, and have the option of hiring a decent force of mercenaries if needed.

>>77649
When you say War of Emperium, I instantly think of Ragnarok Online. Because I recall that just before I quit they introduced a feature called War of Emperium, wherein guilds could battle all out to overtake and/or defend castles. In RO Emperium is a goldish gem said to be so gloriously resplendent that it's said just owning it is a sign that one is chosen by fate to wield great power. Essentially you need one to form a guild and become said new guild's leader.

I hadn't linked this Emperium to that Emperium until you said War of Emperium, are the two related?

Time for some mother fucking lore~!

Okay, the War of Empirium, Very important time for humanity, not a good time so to speak, but an important one no less. Well kiddies lets first learn a bit about humanity first, so we can get situated.
The life of humanity is separated into junks known as ages, starting with the age of the birth of humanity and ending with nothing at all. I'll briefly explain these chunks, but I'll go into further detail some other day.

The age of birth - The age of Birth marked the very first human, at this time humans were partially sentient animals, brimming with potential and gifted with sin.

The age of Rising - gifted with the power of creation, humanity began to thrive slowly.

The age of Ascension - humanity is at its peak, ruling over all of Allaria as the dominant species, second only under gods.

The Age of Strife - humanity perishes rapidly, leaving a staggering 28 000 survivors. (the story of EadooQuest takes place in this age, how ever it has been many many generations since the dawn of the age of strife, and humanity has risen in number and power, they remain how ever a weak existence in the grand scheme of things.(exact number of humans unknown, but estimated around 720 000(on Allaria that is, the smallest continent, however outside contact has never been made and will not be relevant in this campaign)))

The age of unknown - quite simply it's unknown, as it has not yet occurred, Every previous age was once known as the age of unknown and from the age of unknown, new ages with spawn.

During the age of Strife, humanity was scrambled. Angry, scared, savage... From the 200 Guilds of the old empires whittled down only 16. These 16 guilds fought for land, food and resources, blood shed was common-play and the little of humanity cracked like brittle clay...
But from these dark times came a single man, of imperial race and brandishing a sword of pure empirium, proclaiming himself king of all humanity.
He brought with him riches and resources, the source of which has always simply been "divine". Under his banner he assembled the 16 great guilds into nations. Appointing them to lead humanity back to its age of glory, rather than slaughter it.
The king divided his immense fortune into 16 equal parts and shared them among the new nations. each having enough to feed, shelter, commerce and even enjoy many years to come, and opening a new possibility for these empires to thrive.
As a final act of faith in his empires which would form his kingdom, he offered his holy sword. smelting the empirium blade and refining it into a black metal. with it he minted 16 coins of one ounce each, and these coins would represent their ultimate wealth. Each coin was worth the entire empire and each guild master was to keep it precious.(though their value went down with time, at the origin their value was = the empire)

This ultimate act of faith would cost the king dearly, as with the sword fading, so to did vanish his divine power, and his immortality. Even so he lived three human lives, he would eventually find his end.
And through out the kings life, manny generation worshiped his being, and faithfully fueled humanity in peace and cooperation. But only five months after his death, the guild masters turned, bewildered byt he death of their god emperor and fueled by lust and greed.
The War of Empirium would outbreak in the following year, and the 16 nations slaughtered once more. Armies clashed and burned the lands in search of the black coins, and after 200 years of onslaught, one single man held them all. his wealth absolute, proclaiming himself king of empires and richer than 16 empires. and so under his banner assembled the entirety of humanity. His heir would rule in succesion for much time to come...

Though as we know, eventually humanity broke into three great parties, (as shown above) but what remained of the holy empire of man is what we see in the story.

The war of empirium took place roughly 12 generations ago.

>So... what shall we speak of next... The origines of humans? Elves? Dwarves? Kobolds? something else~?

Hrrm...
Kobolds
Elves
Dwarves
And from there we will see~ Seems like a good order of things to go through.

I'm curious about gnolls as well - especially after we've been told they weren't always the roving bands of mercenaries/bandits that most are today.

just a kind of question about rolls -- I don't know if this has been answered. but, when you apply the changes, yknow +10 cuteness and such... they actually make the result worse, since you make the higher the number, the worse the result. I was just wondering if this has come to your attention, and all that...

>>78013
I thought that for a bit. Not the case, it's a bit odd. That bonus doesn't apply to the roll itself, but rather the number it needs to be under. So if you have a +10 bonus and need to beat 75, the roll itself is unaffected, but it instead needs to be lower than 85 now.

>>78014
yes that is right

I`m sorry for the delay, its been a while, ive been meaning to update... school was coming to an end, and I needed to study for my finals, surely you can all understand? I will gladly post more of my quest after a few ideas for royal garb have brewed... until then I will tell more of the history of Allaria, I would gladly tell of the gnolls, there is much to say.

More lore~!

>Kobolds<

the birth of kobolds dates back to the age of accession. An age of great advancements and discovery, when man ruled in peace and harmony, not only with itself but with all, both nature and aether... During the age of accession, Humanity was at peace with nature and its inhabitants, the word wild did not signify at state of being but meerly a region of non construct. Treaties and alignments with the elves formed great bonds between humans and nature, and it's said that during this time there was no hunting and no farms, animals were free to be as they desired, but in exchange, they would sacrifice their flesh to humanity, a tax in exchange for peace.

During this time man was king of all beings on his holy earth, all but one; The mighty Dragon, that which ruled over the lands before man, remained an enemy to humanity in its great ascension. But, in an attempt to overthrow the age of man dragon brought its own ruin. The dragon, being impervious to attacks made itself immune to magic, becoming immortal... This angered the gods... and so the dragons were made sterile, humanity would win the fight against dragons by attrition, they would only have to wait for the mighty dragon to wither into dust... But man was kind, humanity forgave the dragons and offered to save them in exchange for peace. The finest alchemists were assembled to cure the dragons of their divine wrath, as magic would not suffice.

The alchemists found it impossible to break the divine locks and opted instead to create homunculys of the mighty beasts. But the creatures would not bend to their own spirits, the gods curse was strong indeed. so man needed to find a noble untapped soul to bind to the dragons body. many years and many trials failed to give life to the immortal creatures. one such attempt, mixed man with drake forming the dragon born, another fused dragons to hounds, forming the kobolds, and another with snakes creating the hydra. but all failed be be dragons... until an impure though crossed the minds of man... using ambrosia the alchemists created a single perfect dragon, but it too was steril and humanity could not produce enough ambrosia to safe the dragons... How ever this satisfied the dragons, they accepted their fate and slept, frozen in obsidian in wait for an age where man could produce the nectar of life and effectively safe their race. How ever... Mans age of acention came crashing down before that day would come...

The kobolds who survived the fall of humanity divided into three... Many travelled far to the west in search of new lands, others stayed in the south and the rest ventured to the east, into the obsidian barens... (as shown in pic)

the western kobold is more of a wolf than the rest, its long flat snout is dominant and its fur is black or blue. Though not the brightest, western kobolds are the strongest, tallest and posses the most vivid survival instincts, able to craft surprisingly effective weapons. They live in small nomad packs but are rarely hostile towards one another, Western kobolds are not territorial, despite leaving markings where ever they go. these scent trails serve to attract other tribes for trade, both of resources and strong men or fertile women. The tribes support each other with a mindset that when in need, another tribe will come to their aid. Western kobolds cherish the memories of their fallen very dearly and often commit to cannibalism of their brothers corps, believing that their ancestors souls will live on inside them.

Southern kobolds, or cutebolds as sometimes refereed to, evolved with an "everything's going to be fine" mentality, which did not get them very far. they do not posses large colonies and often times have difficulty getting by. Most kobolds live in tandem with goblins and mites, mixing in with other vermin rather well, causing riff raff for adventurers and dwarven colonies alike, but other kobolds form into farmsteads and try to make an honest living, though rarely successful. though most kobolds are not quite smart, they often times strongly believe to be very bright! Which may be the cause of such dumbness, as they often teach others of their findings and share their understanding of the world to their kin.

The more scaly kobolds crew to resemble their draconian kin. During the fall of accession, the western kobolds journeyed to the obsidian barens seeking to rejoin the dragons. Living in the obsidian barens made the kobolds ruthless and vicious, cruel as needed to live in the wastes... Often western kobolds form large, massive colonies in crevasses, numbering in hundreds to thousands. protecting their lives with all sorts of crude devilish creations, how ever these kobolds rarely live long and their greatest threat is themselves. unlike the western kobolds, the denizens of the obsidian barens constantly biker and struggle against one another and do not posses the slightest remorse for the death of their own kind.

>unless someone wants to know a specific culture, I'll probably explain the gnolls next<

oops. should of proof read that again... last paragraph speaks of eastern kobolds not western.

1) there's less and less postage in my quest. (I suspect its because there's less to say or too much to read.)
2) I don't post nearly enough (this causes more blocky walls of text and it makes attention more difficult.)
3) I'm tired of drawing such elaborate artwork for story time. (When I finish I'll colour and masterize the pics.)

Moral: I'm gona switch back to line art and basic shading. see yah soon~

I think it's working nicely so far. Should keep some of the stress off you and keep the updates flying. :D

And when you do add the finishing touches and colors it makes that panel pop out and grab attention. Like the nifty lookin knives.

>Less postage

Ohhhh man, are you in for a surprise.

>>79272
Iknorite? Funny that a quest some people said was going to suffer a death by porn is now generating a pretty good discussion about morality and personal rights.

>>79276

I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet, we'll have to see if the "discussion" even mattered at this point.

>>79286

Discussion was fun though. I enjoy my bleaker morality discussions.

>>79296

Problem is people are still trying to treat this like it's the worst thing that could've happened, which means the discussion's done very little.

>>79303

This was my choice's intended outcome. A blank slate to work work instead of a cruel, abusive murderer. Much more malleable and useful.

I love the fucked up twists this has taken. The course of action we've supported at every possible point so far has been so cloyingly sweet that it's nice to have just how fucked up we've behaved in the name of doing "good" being treated like it.

I also like how despite our consistently poor judgement we seem to really be impacting the flow of things. Yeah, main plot is sort of asserting itself but there must've been 8-10 updates with us dicking around with Creep.

If you are not getting distracted by every possible sidequest you are doing it wrong.

The fact that one thing that actually could be good happening and suddenly everyone acting like we just murdered a puppy is honestly pretty hypocritical and disturbing if you really think about it. Taking over Shenzi and using her to have sex was good, but making it possible to make her a good person is suddenly bad. Suddenly everyone wakes up and realises we've been some lecherous and bad shit but when something potentially good actually happened. I think there's some people here with some really mixed up ideas of what good and bad really are, and it shows in the responses to this event. Inb4 Big Dumb Argument.

>>79335

*doing

Also going to mention that I suggested we try a less monstrous option before this, but no one wanted to do it, or at least no one tried to back it up.

>>79335
Well right back at ya. The sex thing was posed to the real Shenzi and she wanted to get a beejer so I don't think that was evil. Lecherous maybe. As for the response to the current events, I think those of us saying what we did was wrong feel that we essentially murdered the real Shenzi. While we may have had no other choice, it doesn't change what we did. Now that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to help this new person who is left after our scouring of Shenzi's soul, but it's important we recognize what we did as evil in nature if not intent or results. We shouldn't make a habit of reprogramming every potential enemy who comes along. I have to believe that such a repulsive act will eventually damage and corrupt us into something antithetical to a heroic quest.

Just my view, and you're just as entitled to yours. I'm just glad the quest is generating these discussions. If people can have strong opinions over actions we take, then I'd say the quest is doing well.

>>79337

>Right back at ya
>We killed the real Shenzi
>Reprogramming every threat

I'm going to say it again, this wasn't my idea to begin with. I put out the idea that we could change things differently but no one else wanted to try. When the only two options being accepted are the mind wipe and outright death, which do you honestly think I'd go for? Out of all three options it was the most neutral at best. I'm calling people hypocrites because we've been doing things that could be considered bad but only now after the choice was made, again a choice I didn't even come up with, are people suddenly saying how terrible we are.

>>79337

Hmm, death or mind wipe. The choice was made and both were acceptable outcomes for a murder.

Also Heroic can mean many things to some, you have to remember that Greek Heroes did horrific things at times yet were still cherished. I feel that if we need to do evil to help the 'good' king Eadoo we should be the ones to do so, without imparting it upon our king.

Can we just agree that lil' Shenzi is adorable? I like to think we can all agree on that. I hope.

I just wanna dress her up in cute clothing and give her a bow she's so adorable.

>>79342
Lol yes. If I were home I'd probably quick sketch her in a frilly dress with a bow, holding her flail kind of awkwardly.

As for the discussion, I suppose part of where I'm coming from is also disappointment that there was no getting Shenzi to come over to our side through dialogue. That was my hope from all the way back when we decided to knife jack her rather than kill her outright.

Still what happened happened and hopefully we can help the new Shenzi be a happier and (morally) better person.

As for being the shady dealer so Eadoo doesn't have to, I have a feeling we may have to... it's just that given Gatling's nature I think it's important we strive to strike a balance so that our demonic side doesn't begin to dominate our nature. We lost control for a while when trying to save Shenzi - if we keep feeding that side then who knows how voracious our appetite will become. The day may come where we may have to fight constantly to not consume our hosts as soon as we are thrown.

Gatling is powerful and dangerous and clearly capable of great atrocities. That may be what Eadoo needs to achieve her goals; but it's up to us to keep it under control.

on a side note my color and communication teacher informed me that this years pantone color of choice is "Radiant Orchard" and she tells me I should spam it everywhere~

There's been a few mentions of what seems to be a god of Gnolls in the quest, can we have some more info on what the gods of the setting are?

File 139208782334.jpg - (162.06KB , 800x533 , gods.jpg )

in the setting of Allaria there's a good bunch of gods. The fact is that ultimately there's infinite gods, since a god is just a manifestation of faith. Not to say they aren't real, Gods are as real as we make them. We shape them just as much as they shape us. In one line of thinking, all gods are one simple energy, but its not to say they're not one single mind that's interpreted many ways, acts of killing amongst gods is not uncommon and has happened on many cases. these god killings have massive effects on the world, dramatically changing all they touched into twisted wannabe versions of the victors power. Gods scheme and plot and shape the world to a degree, most changes happen over thousands of years, but sometimes they happen very quickly in a matter of seconds, gods are finicky things, but typically avoid contact with the real world.

As said there are many gods, here are a few:

-The nature spirits are widly venerated by pretty much everything from elves to orks.-

Silva : The tree goddess, the bringer of life. Her love is great and endless, she spreads hope and care, Silva cherishes most of all those who have sinned, but have redeemed themselves. She steals souls from orcus's forge to give life, hoping some may find redemption. She is the forest in all it's glory, worship of Silva can range from prayer and benevolent actions to tree hugging or worst...

Natio : is a fertility goddess, her lust is contagious and spreads into the wild, causing even tame animals to crave the sins of the flesh. she is both man and woman and typically described as indescribably beautiful, resembling your mother and bearing many breasts and phalluses. Worship of Natio consists of exess, lust, and depravity. Ranging from simple acts of passion to grand orgy.

Orcus : is the death, the end, the ravager, the grue. He takes the souls of those who no longer need them and leaves those too tainted by greed, depravity, sloth and pride, leaving them to wander the empty planes. Orcus loves the souls of murderers, cannibals and rapists above all else, coveting them endlessly, for their souls will forge the blade to end all things. Orcus whispers into the dreams of hero's guiding them to evil and pushing them to exterminate evil. Orcus is darkness, nothing else.

-The gnolls have two gods-

Yurra : the sun, he punishes those who are foul, his long rays smite and burn those who should not be (vampires, demons, ghouls...) Those born under his light are his children, they act in his name, giving justice on a smaller scale.

Saoul : the moon, she brings night and shelter, benevolent care, seen as the mother of all things. her signs guide the gnolls and the western kobolds who also worship her. her cover of stars bring shelter from the harsh desert sun and make life possible.

-there are several human gods, throughout history and occasional worship, but lets focus on the big guy-

Magnus : The one true god, the golden eagle, the god emperor, the saviour of mankind. Men believe that Magnus created man in his image and for this they are destined for greatness, the world is their birthright as Magnus deems it so. he is justice and conqueror. His image is that of the king, when the king is no more another is chosen by Magnus and so his image changes. Worship of Magnus is done in temples and altars, typically sacrifices of money, representing your labour your dedication, that you give of yourself to god and that wealth is not of import to a faithful man. Under Magnus's design, men may never covet another man's body, How ever women are permitted as they hold little significance to him. In that women always are seen as lesser under his rule.

There are other gods, but I either didn't think of much for them or didn't even come up with them yet...

Hope you enjoyed, and what next?

>>79613
>god emperor

Hehehe, I see what you did there. Anywho, I think most of them would be permissable in Eadoo's kingdom. And out of them I think Saoul or Silva would be most likable to his majesty.

Also, I've been wondering what these artifacts we've heard about are. It's been slightly implied they have to do with dragons, which is interesting considering the kobold race's supposed origins. Dragonwrought, anyone?

>>564660
By the way: As we have a save and a continue option, can we reset the plot midway to come back to the last save-point?^^

that is an option, you have three save slots.

>>79943
Are your plot notes and world notes expansive enough to handle such a clock-rewinding event?
Can I save-scum the final dungeon?

>>79613
Can loser gods surrender themselves to the victor to preserve themselves in some pitiful format, or to prevent radical change from magically hitting the world through their loss and death?

What happens if we quit?

>>79971
Yeah, I'm pretty clear on what would happen if you made sepperate saves and such. Intact i planned for such events from time to time, besides, the best games make you play through twice if you want the good endings~

as for gods, theyre a rather lucid thing, and yeah when a God kills another they're absorbed and part of them can change the victor. It all depends on worship and if and how worshipers change.

>>79973
You'll return to the title screen. We're upon you can continue, start a new game, fiddle with the options out check out various extras.

>>80008
Mind officially blown. I always wrote all that off as just some nice frame fluff. Now am torn between wanting to continue to see what happens next and wanting to fix mistakes.

hey, just noticed my screen has been slowly getting more and more fucked over the past lil while and I only just noticed how the color of my posts.
I thought i was drawing in a soft purple but turns out I was using a hot pink.
I am sorry, I will fix it from here on out.

I'm kind of experiencing huge mood whiplash.
There was a deeply moraly questionable choice,
and then there is Eadoo deepthroating Shenzi over on e621. :/

Easy to cure that. One is the quest, the other is a porn commission. Let Flynn make some $ and just stay off e621 if you don't like it. I mean why are you there if you aren't looking for porn? Lol
