What's so great about it?

...or at least it would be if I wasn't stuck in this shreep pen, cleaning up after these filthy things.

I may have misled you, listener, when I spoke of my own magical influence. I have not yet been promoted to the rank of wizard... exactly.

But I shall become one soon!

Of course, that all hinges on being able to cast a spell by myself, which up until now I've not quite been able to do.

But I-

The wizard Adan sends his telepathic voice through the air to me, prying into my thoughts. He demands that I return to the tower at once.

Today must be that day!


What will you do, Apprentice?

>>12606063
to the tower!!! we will ride there on our trusty sheep!!!!

>>12606063
REMOVE YOUR OWN HEAD

>>12606063

To the tow- wait. LOOK AROUND, see if there's anything useful to bring along or pick up on the way there. Also, what do we have on us now?

Kick one of the sheep and taunt it with the knowledge that it will never be a successful wizard, then go to the tower, cleaning ourselves up as best we can.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

So what exactly do you have? Items? Abilities? Are we good at anything BESIDES being a fail magician and cleaning sheep shit? Stuff might be good to know.

Only too late do I remember that shreep fear water!

Gods of old, protect me!

>>12606219

...is this where we start rolling? if we can't make the sheep cross then JUMP TO TOWER or SWIM TO TOWER. Again I wouldn't mind having a handle on our items + abilities so that I at least have an idea of what to do before a 'get candle' 'your arms are too short to reach candle' situation pops up.

Ugh, Sir Percy. Always a do-gooder.

"Do you need help, my lady?" he asks in his grating voice.

What will you do, Apprentice?
>>12606214
You're not very good at much besides forking shreep shit at this point. And as far as equipment, unless you want to go back and get that pitchfork, you have nothing but that little (empty) pouch on your torso.

>>12606250

Hit on him and ask for entrance to the tower.

>>12606219

wat

>>12606250

Accept help politely for now. Ask him how his family/any close relations or friends/that sort of thing is doing! It's always useful to have people on your side... until you get powerful enough to manipulate them later.

>>12606271
>>12606279

Basically a combination of these two- be polite, not too obvious and don't turn him of while getting help to enter the tower.

"Hmph, well, thank you. Very nice of you."

Sir Percy pulls me forth from the wet grass and I rise to my feet, graceful as ever.

He speaks at length of his trials, dragons fought and bandits routed. As he begins to speak of how often he visits his dearly beloved mother, I cast a glance toward the Tower and imagine its fearsome lord smoldering within.

What will you do, Apprentice?

>>12606361

So Sir Percy likes trials, huh? Well, he can have one. Flatter him a little with how brave he must undoubtedly be and then say something like 'oh, then you would be the perfect person- since you're here- I need to get to that tower in the middle of the lake. Help me out?'

Then ask him if he knows of a boat. Or if he'll ferry me across. Something like that. If he wants to be a do-gooder then we can use this.

"Of course you may enter the Tower," he says. "Of all beings, only wizards and their servants may enter."

>>12606361
Bemoan your difficulty in reaching the tower and ask for his (valorous) assistance. Bat your eyelashes afterwards and thank him graciously.

Knights eat this farm-daisy-damsel stuff up.

Okay. Okay, we can do this. Have we swum across the lake before? We're pretty fit, right? Scooping up shit and all.

>>12606523

I've swum across it before, but I fear I'm turning into a fish from all the water I breathe in.

Perhaps something else?

What will you do, Apprentice? Hurry and swim across or float a barrel?

>>12606539
Well, it seems our young apprentice doesn't show much promise in the field of diplomansy. Can we swim? If not is there any debris we can hold on to while doggie-paddling to the tower? It doesn't look at all far from the shore.

>>12606575

Can we cut a barrel in half and make a makeshift boat from it? If not then just grab a full barrel, float as far as we can and swim the rest of the way.

>>12606575
Float this mythical barrel....

>>12606616
and then use it to cross either lumberjack style or just paddle from ontop

The water is freezing, of course. It comes from the strange cloudy mountains in the north, beyond the villainous swamplands.

My teeth rattle painfully as I float across the empty water.

>>12606669
well if it cold going faster will speed be out sooner and warm ourself with exercise...

By the time I arrive at the foot of the Tower my clothes are thoroughly soaked, and a biting gust of wind completes my discomfort upon rising from the guardwaters. At least my lower half has been largely cleaned of the sheeple muck, though what remains has turned fetid from exposure to the water. The wind does little to carry the stench away.

>>12606692

Next time, guys, we roll higher on diplomacy checks.

rolled 35059 = 35059

We should have ridden the sheep across...

Sheep can swim right?

>>12606729
I refer you to >>12606219

However we probably could have gutted the sheep, used its hide as a sail, its bones for a mast and filled various organs with air to help keep the barrel afloat.

>>12606729

Afraid of water, remember? It would probably have kicked... and shat in the water...

Anyway, let's go see the wizard Adan. It's his damn fault for calling us in the middle of muckracking so he can put up with the smell.

As I ascend the stairs beyond the gate, strange lights flash and dance in the darkness, lighting my path forward with impatient flickers.

From just beyond the light's reach, bent and horrid things call out to me in voiceless whispers, promising me all I dream for the simple task of opening their doors.

What will you do, Apprentice?

>>12606780

Ignore 'em, go to wizard, we're late already and we stink of shit. Anyway this isn't the first time we've been in the tower and if we've ignored them before we can ignore them again.

As I enter the highest reach of the tower, Aden's inner sanctum, the shreep offal is blotted out by the harsh sting of his alchemical mixtures. Beyond that, the strange odors of animals from the far corners of the world.

Of the wizard Adan, however, I see nothing.

And by sunset I mean our hovel.

I begin to fear the thing has misled me, and fear creeps into my breast, but a moment later I feel a swell of strange longing and my hand springs forth with witchlight. In the flickering glimmer a recessed door reveals itself to me.

Oh whups.

Which are you doing, trying out the secret tunnel or going back out the front door?

Also we're getting close to wrapping up this session, methinks. I'm getting pretty beat.

>>12608071

Oh secret tunnel! Also I had fun, thanks for running this. Anyone archiving it?

The creature's words were true, and I find myself spirited quickly to the shore, emerging from a shrouded doorway that only reveals itself to me with my newfound gaze.

My faithful shreep remains exactly where I left her, and whatever strange fate has befallen me doesn't seem to discomfort her. With a kick, she leaps upward, rearing her vacant gaze to the gathering dim.

As the beast gallops under me, Adan's cruel words ring out in my mind again.

From inside my heart, a chill whisper promises me even greater power.

And that, my good listeners, is the end of our tale for the eve. The hour grows late, and we must part our company for slumber.

>>12608200

Awesome. ONWARD TO BECOMING THE DARK LORD and all that!

Hooooo boy...

Didn't expect people to want to have anything to do with that book! That was a fun turn of events for me.

Sorry for fading out at the end. I probably started a little late, because my head is swimming right now.

Part 2 should get started a little sooner, I hope.

Any questions or complaints? I know I was super-slow; side-effect of the tireds.

From here on it's up to the players. I started this quest with the intention of drumming you out of the wizard's tower and setting you loose in the land to do as you would.

Then you went and made a deal with that thing. Awesome.

So next game (maybe tomorrow night?) will be a new day, if you feel like exploring a bit.

>shreep go DURRRRR

I spent a long time building the shreep before I was satisfied with their idiotic open-mouthed gape.

"DURRR" and the occasional "BAWWW" are exactly what I had in mind.

How did you get skeleton Bobs head to 'float'?

>>12608391

We've got one friendly skeleton whom we totally have to try to restore to his original state, dark whispers of power and a book of blasphemy. I'd say we're set to make that tower ours and become a legend at the same time! However that works out.

> "DURRR" and the occasional "BAWWW"

This is somehow hilarious.

>>12608411
>How did you get skeleton Bobs head to 'float'?

Sticky-tack, the miracle substance that I use to get all those great special effects. In this case, I stuck some on each end of the closest long object I had at hand (a short axe) and angled the skull so it blocked the sticky-tack and the axe. I made sure it was at an odd angle to the wall behind it to add to the illusion of being suspended in the air.

I am amused by the quality of your work OP. The camera shots are well thought out, and you seem very versed in the ways of Legos.

Are you aware of the Lego-Studios kit that was sold for a while? I got the thing when I was young, and much fun was had.

>>12608633
Legos are fairly hard to come by where I live. I've always been jealous of people who can go to toy stores or actual Lego stores and get kits that K-Mart doesn't carry.

However, today I got the chance to buy some of the second wave of Lego minifig singles, and was able to net the prize I was hoping for. Pic fucking related.

In fact, the gods of Denmark saw fit to include a third maraca, for him to share his Latin goodness.

I mean seriously. How can I *not* want to use this guy?

>>12608694
Those maracas are manly and mexican as hell, OP. Good find. I'll jump into your next quest, and try to steer us toward meeting them.

Said kit was something for making stop-motion, and it had allot of good tid-bits like using that sticky-clear plastic for moving objects. You could have probably put it to better use then me.

>>12608694
That is amazing! I didn't even know lego made those :O
I came in after the story was over and wasn't going to post anything. I got really excited and then devastated when i realized it was over. I love these threads, keep up the good work! I'm just going to imagine we go on some crazy adventure and some how time warp and that was us locked in the cage in the tower. I know its kind of a played out theme/idea but what can you do?
