Regard his manly beard being incomplete with out ribbons depicting his dorfyness

Stab self with spear.
Die.
End retarded quest.

Ask where dorfen women (If they exist), buy their clothes or where is the fortress tailor.

The hell? I make dresses and robes all the dam time in my fort. It's the only thing my dwarves WEAR besides copper plate.
Hmm...
Ask about cloth. make Toga.

>>4988340
... I don't think that will work too well but I can't think of anything better.

>>4988403

Perhaps ribbons are the wrong word here...

ask regarding "manly manly strips of cloth died pretty manly colors"

How about vengeance, then? What do dorfs know about that?

>>4988415
There we go!

You know, Olan's really gone out of our way for us here. We should thank him.

Hug Olan. Promise him the finest elven booze when this is all said and done.

Gnoll needs to call his tribe to help him draw.

>>4988356
Maybe your right. This has been the most boring quest I've ever read. I am ashamed... and hungry.

>>4988562
Your a cruel cruel man jack.

Maybe we can tie that cat into a ribbon?

All I can think about is how hard I would impale Moonleaf.

Apologise, beg forgivness, state that we are used to elven men, who wear pretty dresses and ribbons all the time. Ask to continue with training, for only such a dorfy dorf could possibly ever hope to teach us the ways of the spear needed to avenge our father's death.

Oh well, I take it as a learning experience. Maybe I'll be able to make something less bland in the future. Really get things cooking. Get down the the bare bones of it and chew some things over. Although, it's really gnawing at me to leave it like this.

Hey... some of us are enjoying it...

Go out with a blaze of glory! Jump ahead five years to when Moonleaf is a goblin-slaying valkyrie badass come face to face with the demon king of all goblins! Dont just give up.

Don't just leave us hanging Gnoll.

>>4988688
You make me sad Gnoll. You really do.

Use SPEAR on DORF. loot RIBBONS.

>>4988688
Next quest should be about a Mind Flayer with a Beholder mount.

You're just going to leave it like this, because someone said he didn't like it? Don't leave us like this Gnoll, this quest is unique in it's own way.

Moonleaf is innocent and funny =(

>>4988688
I call bullshit. That elf doesn't have that much meat on any limb.

wake up and realize it's just a bad dream! do it moonleaf!

sage for * quest

piss off back to furaffinity

>>4988851
If the author doesnt enjoy what they are doing, shitsux regardless. You made the right, and funny, decision Gnoll.

Fuck Dorfs, I want some elfquest damn it, none of this uber-manly bullshit, I want a flawed, relatable screw-up with a heart of gold. Don't you dare fucking abandon us Gnoll.

I swear to god, if we don't get ourselves some goddamn ribbons and a frilly fucking dress, I'm going to be pissed.

>>4988892

This. Listen to this man, Gnoll. Stop mucking about with the dwarves.

>>4988892
I WANT MY MAGIC GIRL WAND. Haters can go be Chaotic Stupid somewhere else.

>>4988851

Agreed. Moonleaf is my favorite Quest right now. Don't quit just because some people don't like it.

>>4988916
But this quest is already DORF DORF DORF

Duly noted that Gnoll has taken to eating characters of quests.. this is not looking good on your report gnoll.

What a strange dream. Must be all the stress.

Fuck Yeah! Gnoll, you are king of my world.

>>4988973

Find a Nizard learn black magic !

>>4988973
...
Have we just been raped by dwarves?

>>4988973

Ask around to see where we can find some of those cloth-strip-thingies Olan has in his beard.

Thaaaank you Gnoll!

Have Moonleaf drink some of that delicious alohol the dwarf is carrying, to calm down, and figure out what to do next.

>>4988973

80s style training montage! Learn some kickass spear moves! Next time we see a slime, we're going to give him whatfor before having to be rescued!

I love how the doors are like, three dorfs high.

Go the local armorshop. Mayhaps they will have a frilly dress for sale.


Shit, we dont have any money do we?

>>4988713

Yeah advancing the plot by moving ahead in time sounds like a good idea. What is a weak little elf girl going to do against a horde of goblins but die sideways?

That way we don't have to worry about leveling up or anything.

Ask Olan for the direction of the nearest human settlement, feeling spending time with the dwarves are not good for your mental health.

>>4989114
Get raped sideways.

try to learn magic from the craftman.

im sure they can also charm a magic dress for us to keep decency while losign much of it.

also, try to learn singin related spell. we will be some sort of macross oriented bard-tress, right?

>>4989005
Moonleaf asks for the location of a tailor or the ribbonmaker, either one.

The response is less than pleasant. Dorfs just plain don't like elves...

It's dangerous to go alone. We need either an escort or some actual training with our spear.

Cut some of our hair.

Make fake beard.

Ask again.

>>4989148
how much money we have? we may need to take a trip back to home to get equipped correctly.

if we wont find bard-tress stuff, we can ask for useable dorf stuff. act dorfy and ask for stuff and trainning.

Get annoyed with the dwarves mean attitude, ask Olon for the direction or a guide to the nearest human settlement.

Our problem stems from the fact that they don't like elves.

The sollution, therefore, is to stop being an elf.

We need to disguise ourself as a human or dwarf of some sort.

Attempt to hug the Olan.

definetly get out of this place, we should maybe ask olon to tag along

Psst... Hey elf...

>>4989269

This seems perfectly innocent. Let us investigate the strange berobed figure.

What we need is an illusion spell to disguise ourself as a dorf.

>>4989295
Maybe this strange dorf wizard can provide!

>>4989269
It seems a good part of the voices in Moonleaf's head are completely retarded.

Nevertheless, follow the shadowy fellow because it appears to be plot-y. When close enough ask what's up

The dwarf's intention seems genuine and harmless! Let us investigate!

>>4989269
Oh god deviant dwarven Ribbon Cult, I'm calling it.

We're about to get ambushed by gnomes, arent we? Sneaky sneaky gnomes who stole our idea of dressing up like a dorf.

>>4989311
Damm, you you just doomed that potential prospect. Not a twist goes unabated!

>>4989311
I'm predicting that he just wants to teach us magic but Deviant Dwarven Ribbon Cult was too much to resist in a plot hook.

>>4989269
follow strange man, eat strange candy, gain magical powers.

what? it works like that on anime.

>>4989326
Specifically Dark Gnomes, because an Dorf Fortress worth its salt is carved into an Evil Biome mountain.

>>4989311
If all else fails, wear a KILT.

>>4989269

Wait, what does that sign above the door say?

We can read dorfish, right?

The dwarf starts rambling about how odd it is to see an elf in the fort. How amusing and random it is.

It's kind of dark in here...

Oh shit, we're about to get eaten by a grue!

Grab a torch, hold it up to the dorf's face. If it turns out to not be a monster, claim that elves dont have good low-light vision.

>>4989392
ask him if he can train us to bard-tress level.

and not sell soul to satan or something.

Hug dorf.

>>4989422
Why not? It's not like we're using it.

also id like to point out that we have low strength to do proper use of spear. use a bow as a primary weapon.

>>4989392
So, um...Xom is amused?

Listen politely to the strange man's ramblings. Its the elven thing to do.

>>4989449

Its too close range to use the bow.

>>4989458
and then request for him to stop cutting trees.

After listening to his rambling politely, ask him if he knows anything about magic, since Moonleaf seems determined to learn some.

>>4989455
OH GODS HE IS!
Oh wait... it's just an altar statue.

>>4989483
While hugging.

>>4989479
i didnt ment to use now. and if thats the case, i do belive the hallways arent appropriated for a spear. we should try to go legolas on his ass.

from a stereotype to another. i think im goin gary stu.

>>4989504
Well, this place just became more frightening for our little elf female.

>>4989504

Oh, fwew. We're just inside some sort of temple then.

Explain to the nice dorf that we are on a mission of vengence! Tell him our backstory and our current plight. Ask him if he can be of any assistance, and if so, if there is anything we can do in return.

Then hug him. Seriously.

>>4989500
moonleaf has no physical aptitude. its either char or int based classes for her

gnoll can we get the status screen of now? or nothing changed?

>>4989504
Remove golden cane. Pawn it.

>>4989540
This plan is insane and cannot possibly end well

For some reason I almost feel like supporting it, however

>>4989540

Really? What on earth makes you think defiling one of those shrines is going to end well?

>>4989540

Are we a kobold? no.
No stealing from Gearthundered.

>>4989536
I can support this proposal.

>>4989536
while crying and detailing the death of moonleaf father with the little mishapen on killing a kobolt right before suffering alcohol induced coma.

>>4989504
Worship Xom
*Advice Xom.jpg*
You weren't winning this run anyhow.

>>4989540

Agreed, get the Golden Cane. It's so deliciously shiny, you must eat it!

His eyes! Like Gimlet's they are!

Steal Golden Cane, XOM will be amused; hope that you are granted a relevant ability like Innate Cane-Fu.

Cane the hermit with an item from his own holy alter idol for more amusement; be rewarded with ElfBeard.

>>4989553
>>4989540
Just need to get a little closer to the completely normal shrine that was like that when she got here...

Use Golden Cain as Magical Girl Wand. See if we can use it to turn cat into talking cat.

we are NOT worshipping xom. we MUST keep the elfhood intact.

all things considered, ask if theres a means to return to our home safely, from there we can get proper bard-tress equiepment and training to extract sweet vengeance from silly kobolts.

with a dorf sidekik.

and pretty magical dresses that always get thorn but never enougth to show all.

and magical singing.

What do the elven legends say about xom? would we recognize a statue of him?

>>4989635

Agreed. No Xom worship. He wants ammusment, he has to tune into the thread same as the rest of us.

That said, let us not forget ourselves here. Hug statue.

>>4989647
im pretty sure we would just from the funny stories of dorfs transmutated cuz he drank the whole barrel of it.

Don't worshop Xom. Grab golden cane, investigate it.

What's the strange dwarf doing anyway?

This is clearly a statue of a fox dancing. What could be more elven than an animal frollicking about? Let's dance with the statue. It'll be good for our elfyness.

>>4989619
Goddamn, he can chomp her head off in one bite...
Ask him what the key to enlightenment is.

>>4989627
> The Secret Ribbon Cult of Gearthundered speaks of a prophecy, a Lanky Beardless Girl holding aloft a Golden Cane, clothed only in Ribbons and Lace.

what can a xom worshiper teach us? asides xom hilarious antics, that is.

>>4989661
HUG RUBY
*advice xom*
WATCH THE HUG BLACKHOLE

Hug Tom.

I mean... Xom.

Say a prayer of thanks to the gods as we take the cane. This is a shrine after all.

Xom is a primordial force of chaos, representing the ephemeral, shifting nature of all things, worthy of deep respect... Officially.
Unofficially, Him and his followers are a bunch of whackjob lunatics that ruin everything!

Hug the concept of referencing to Ruby Quest. Obtain its cane.

>>4989766
and we will keep it that way.

ask for help and trainning to the cleric of xom. promisse to help the fortress by gettin even on the assaulting kobolts.

>>4989766

Oh, good.

Let us respectfully take the cane then and get the hell out of here.

>>4989787
Wouldn't Xomites approve of salting kobalts?

>>4989766
Well then, we must get revenge! Pawn the whole statue piece by piece! Destroy the monuments they build to this promoter of chaos!

next ffs. the cleric is clearly a plot device to teach us bard-tress class stuff.

>>4989766

Great. Follow Xom. Ruin some goblin shit.

>>4989787

I think its gobbos, dude.

Steal the cane, discreetly make a run for it!

>>4989805
i belive not, because the temple benefits from the dorf fortress wealth. the safer it is, the more dorfs can visit it.

Taking the cane would be extremely stupid and would piss of Xom. But doing extremely stupid things amuses Xom. I think we entered a paradox guys.

>>4989807
You don't get revenge on Xom.

That is not even conceivable, not even an conceited Elf would think to even attempt such a thing.

Look over there! A hideous mutant Dwarf and his army of GCS-Riding Kobolds!

*YOINK 'n RUN!*

>>4989824
you talk as if xom werent a paradox.

chaos god of chaos aside. wheres the darned cleric?

>>4989824
But it's not stupid if you know it's Xom and that Xom is amused by suicidal actions, meaning that Xom will be expecting it, meaning that Xom won't be amused.

Wear statue on head.

>>4989831
You.. think we can't take on Xom and prevail? What?

Step into the altar and command.

>>4989839
Good point.

Take the cane.

>>4989841
dudes we are not eldrad to measure dickness with xom. forget the freakin altar, ON with the freakin plot.

we need means to get even on kobolt/goblins, gerrin xom in the middle would pretty much nuke everything we where working for, including doing it with a elf character.

We must entertain mighty Xom! Dance around naked! It is our only hope!

Gnoll, did you stop for the day again? you've really got to tell us if you do, some of us are sitting up late.

>>4989912

Cliffhangers are all fine and dandy, but yeah, seriously, I have to be up in a few hours.

I'd just apriciate if he told us if he quits for the night...

Gnoll is obviously rolling the decision die throughly and preparing an epic continuation. Stay faithful, sisters.

Kinda a newfag here...

Does Moonleaf quest go out on a regular schedual or anything? or is it just whenever Gnoll feels like it?

>>4989963
i belive its every night at about the same time. could be wrong tho.

also i just had his insight.

we worship xom. we CHARM xom. we become his magical girl.

serious antic would happen, and the main problem is to keep self as an elf rather that his plaything.

or maybe a magical girl with vestigial wings, glowing skin and 4 eyes.

>>4989963

Because I'm such a gentleman... it runs whenever Gnoll feels like it, usually without advanced warning. You can read the previous threads on the archive, located here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html

>>4989984

So.. Beardbeard the magical girl? Now there is a disgusting image. In the name of Xom, I punish you.

>>4989984
I do not believe convincing and pacifying Xom causes trouble for us.

>>4989985

Thank you kindly, Gentleman.

>>4990010
>pacifying Xom

>>4989984
We won't mutate unless we do something that will obviously mutate us.

>>4990010
me no gets engrish. we cant pacify him, hes unpacifyable, like that dammed worn dice that always drops 1 when you dont want but somehow still manages to make you go trhu.

>>4989996
thats the idea. we would need to become a mary sue for it tho.

>>4990030
short of xom gift? and xom healing surge? and god knows what his clerics can do to us?

>>4990042
>unpacifyable
Yes? What about it?

>>4990068
We just have to not drink kay-oss ale, get xom healing, or piss off a xom cleric.

>>4989392

WATCH OUT IT'S A GNOME!

>>4990093
Also, not touch Xom.

Gnoll probly just got bored of all the 'HOLY FUCK IT'S XOM, LET'S DO SOMETHING REGARDING HIM' posts.

>>4989619

Ask the statue why it moved
advicexom.jpg
Then take its cane

>>4990245
Look at me introducing an instance of Xom! Everything's in control!

Where the fuck is Gnoll?

>>4990297
Killed by some Level 1 powergamers.

crap its true. how is he gonna handle xom?

I swear this guy has ADD lately. He'll start a thread, post a few pre-made pictures to get us back on the railroad, and then when we start to do something totally awesome like become a magical girl or worship Xom he takes off again, not to be seen for another couple of days. Then, when he finally does come back, it's back on the railroad, with only minor input from the players being taken into account (IE "the dorf is angry because he doesn't know where pretty dresses are and won't talk to you about being a magical girl.")

Either he draws VERY slowly, or his heart just isn't in this. Maybe it's best for everyone if this failure just isn't brought up again.

>>4990514
he draws with too many details. he speeded up recently but its still slow.

also hes not warnin when trhead is ending. so far we had about 80% rails indeed.

xom would change that?

Kobold Sheogorath?

>xom would change that?

Probably not. When we had the thread where Moonleaf was going to go be a magical girl, it took a twist towards awesome. I still remember the picture, with the Dwarf being all like "Why don't ye just go and sing in the trees or sumfin ye annoying git?" and Moonleaf is all like "MAYBE I WILL!" Suddenly, it looked like shit was about to get awesome.

Then she just goes and cries for a little bit and choo choo, back on the railroad.

So, no. Gnoll'll be all like "Moonleaf isn't sure worshiping Xom is a good idea!" or some crap like that.

I HOPE YOU'RE READING THIS, GNOLL, BECAUSE I REALLY WANT YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG.

>>4990533
>>4990514

Hey now, don't discourage the guy. I was quite entertained tonight, and I'm very much enjoying the story. If Gnoll is losing interest in the story, then he needs to take it somewhere interesting to him. I think thats why we were brought to Xom. A little chaos may mix things up. I think dropping it is pretty much the worst thing Gnoll could do at this point. At the very least we need a little conclusion, some closure. If Gnoll is bored, let him add things to spice it up. It's his story after all. I'm sure once things get going a little better all this railroad talk will peter out. Gnoll will be more invested in the thing, and will put the additional effort in. Everything will balance out, and until then... well, its Xom, so who knows.

Don't give up Gnoll, I'm rooting for you.

Maybe Xom would turn us into one for his own amusement, without worship.

But then, Xom's Magical Girl Idol does sound kinda nice. Think of all the attack names possible.

Either way, I say we dance with Xom/Xom's statue. He looks like a proper gentleman. Either that or provide music to dance to.

I'm tempted to accuse Gnoll of being a huge troll, but I'm holding out on the belief that he fell down some stairs and is receiving medical attention.

>>4989766
and now we know
AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE

ummm, can we please avoid getting anywhere close to the altar of horribly mutagenic chaos magic? I would prefer our elf girl to not suddenly become a trap.
