Char Sheet : Next Post

You are Whitefang, the alpha of your pack. You and your pack are in deep trouble. You were trying to expand your territory before the start of spring, and wandered into a twisted hell of a forest controlled by a nightmare, and the only refuge in the night from it was a human den of stone. And something else has its eyes on you and its shadow entangled in yours.

>What a nice description of me.

You were separated from half of your pack and went back for them alone. You managed to rescue the two sisters from the clutches of Nadel, die Verdrehte, but when you returned, Schatten and the female wolf had been brought inside the human den at the wishes of the voice.

>I needed someone to help me, and you were running the wrong way. I figured Schatten would put up a better fight. Guess he was a runner not a fighter. And I think he’s dead right now.

You followed them into the human den, through a tunnel in the cliff. First, you searched out the source of the voice that had been whispering to you.

>Me.

When you freed it, it latched onto you, and all of the humans went on full alert. You ran as they started to hunt you down, but only managed to find Schatten. When you tried to find the female wolf, you took a wrong turn. Schatten tried to backtrace, but the humans got to him. Back the way you came, you can hear him barking in fear and pain, surrounded by humans. On the way you were going, you can hear the female wolf howling for help.

>Go for the female wolf
>Go to help Schatten

We can breed more legends.

>Schatten

I swear to God, if you dumbasses choose the normal wolf over the vampire wolf that fought Hasdrubal with us and was most of the reason we won.

There are two sisters to bone!
>>
can we divide our forces ?
like, send the two sisters in aid for Schantten and we go for the lone female.
>>
>>29730283
Fuck you nigga. Wolfu saved our life

>Go for the female wolf

besides, I think Schatten has a chance to survive this
>>
>>29730316
That sounds like a "All or nothing" kind of an option. Where we risk everyone.

I can't really asses if it is a good idea or not
>>
Welp, as is typical of this asinine dormitory, the dryers are busted and overloaded so I'm going to be intermittently busy with that

>>29730316
The Sisters aren't going to leave your side unless they leave the castle
>>
>>29730283

>Go for the female wolf

I'd like to help Schatten, but Wolfu saved our life once when we needed it. We should save her.
>>
>>29730105
>Go to help Schatten
BROTHER
>>
>>29730362
Schatten saves us from Hasdrubal.

>Help Schatten
>>
>>29730627
Nuh-uh
Wolfu literally brought us back from death. The Hasdrubal thing wouldn't have escalated this far if Schatten hadn't pussied out and helped us take down the hunter during the first encounter.
>>
>>29730678

Yeah, she basically did a "kiss that brings back from the grave". You can't go more romantic than that (or destroy the mood by replacing "kiss" with "licking")
>>
>>29730814
>"licking"
Don't be talkin shit about wolf kisses
>>
Well, you're tied. Perfect excuse for me to continue fighting for dryers

And really, both of them have saved your life
>>
>>29730954
lets roll for it in case everything goes wrong we can blame the dice
>>
>>29730105
>Go for the female wolf
We had Schatten, he chose to turn right back into the soldiers that we really don't want to fight because they're armored and shit and there'll be more of them. There's a good chance we can't help him at all. Leave him.
>>
>>29730105
maybe i'm overthinking this, but
>bark in fear and pain
-> about to get killed ->last chance
>howling for help
->running away / about to get captured ->can be saved later

>Go to help Schatten
>>
>>29731056
hmm, you might be right

Okay, I'll change my vote from here >>29730362
>>
Rolled 2, 1, 18 + 3 = 24

Schatten has the vote, you'll be charging six humans. The sisters will hang back and stay out of the fight at least at first

With that said, please roll Fight

For those of you new to Wolf Quest, first three d20, take the highest, modifiers are added, in this case +3

This is a roll to not get hit by arrows

You turn and dash back for Schatten. The only reason he’s being attacked is because of you. He wanted to follow you to find the female wolf, and you went the wrong way. When he finally broke away, the humans had caught up. The sisters follow behind you, but when you approach the sandy area with the wooden dummies, they lag behind. You burst out on your own, and see the six humans.

>Oh hey, good news!

“Whitefang! Is Whitefang!” the three humans in the back start shouting as you charge them. They hurriedly grab up their bows and take aim, but all three of them go wide. Fear has returned to their voices. Three of the humans have their long claws in hand and are surrounding Schatten.

The black wolf is stabbed, slashed, bloodied, and nearly dead, but still standing. He growls deeply as you take their attention away. When you leap into the air, all of the humans are watching you and can do nothing. You tackle one to the ground and gouge his face with your fangs as you pin him down. Schatten wastes no time and trips another of them to the ground.

“Is Whitefang the Terrible!” the bowmen shout.

Human blood is back in your mouth.

>Go For The Throat
>Chase down one of the bowmen
>Tackle the other human claw user
>Other
>>
>>29731427
Attack whoever is attacking Schatten, by him time to suck their blood.
>>
>>29731427

>Tackle the other human claw user

They will have trouble firing bow close-quarter and it's better to prevent Schatten from being stabbed to death.
>>
>>29731427
>Go For The Throat
easy kill
>>
>>29731427
>Tackle the other human claw user
yeah, he's the immediate danger
>>
>>29731501
yeah but it gives time for them to attack Schatten.

Also, can we use Blade dancer against claws? I assume we can since it is a bladed weapon.
>>
>>29731523
sucessfully pin down a human, procede to do not kill him.
why? Schatten is doing fine.
>>
>>29731652
there are more than one of them
he only pinned down one
>>
>>29731427
Go for the throat, we need to follow through with our attacks

Oh, my apologies, I should clarify

Go For The Throat and Sword Dancer are both active since they are tied to you and not your legend

How have you people not noticed that the shadow thing isn't a legend? It never said it could help you in a fight. It was begging for YOUR help. It is in fact ACTIVELY IMPEDING you. It can't even fucking physically manifest. It has displayed no powers other than communication.

maybe that's because it CAN do things, but you currently can't communicate back to it really

Maybe it's not friendly

Maybe it's actually trying to get you killed, hence the -1 to all rolls

Maybe that's just not something you'd think about as a 3 Int wolf

Maybe I wanted you to think about it rather than assume I gave you a survival button

When the human beneath you fell, he cracked his head on the ground, putting him in a daze. The danger is still on the ground. When you look up though, the four remaining humans are watching you, and calling for help. The nearest is the one still wielding the claw. You snarl and dash over to him. When he stabs at you, your trained body easily dances around the blade, but two arrows find their mark. The sticks rip into your lungs, spilling blood across the ground and in your breath. You cough and spit up some of the blood, but continue the attack.

You tear the human to the ground just as the last one gets to his feet. The bowmen are preparing to hit you again, despite that they might hit their ally.

>Keke, you should have thought this out more dumbass wolf. Now I’m going to get stuck back in that crystal. And your entire pack is going to die.

Then you hear barking. The sisters are standing just on the edge of the clearing, ready to dash back to safety, but they’re drawing attention.

>Go For the Throat
>Attack the Bowmen
>Flee
>Other

>>29733019
Yeah well figure out what it wants from us later, a 3 int wolf probably has other things on the mind right know

It's easier that way, we can't be slain by arrows anyway and those will definitely hit.

With practiced ease, you slide your saber fangs deep into the human’s throat and end his life. He had been about to stab you with his claw, but his strength fled as quick as his blood. You give him an extra bite just to be sure as you watch the bowmen. They were aiming at you, and one still is but he is uncertain. The other two have taken different aim though.

You snarl, but don’t manage to distract them as they loose their arrows. One flies true as the sisters flee, and catches her in the flank. The two of them flee, trailing blood. You are uncertain where they plan to go, there is no way out.

>I have to be in the area to open the door, and it seems you will hardly survive this. Oh, a friend is coming.

Behind you, the first human you attacked is already on his feet and attacking you. He curses your name, but misses his attack.

Then you hear the sick sucking and cracking and twisting of sinew that herald’s Schatten’s blood drinking. But when you look, he does not appear stronger for it.

The whispering in your soul catches your attention. Cailan, Champion of the Arena, is approaching.

On one side, you have the three bowmen. They’re scared and weak, but know you are on the brink of death. Before you is the last human claw. But then your nose catches the scent of more humans. And one smells of blood and sweat and fucking. You glance back as three more humans step from the den you passed through to find Schatten. Two are weak like the others you killed. But the one in the center is Cailan. Cailan stands with nothing to protect himself from tooth or cold on his chest, and is marked heavily by scars, but holds two claws in his hands.

You snarl before turning and running. Schatten is already ahead of you. The bowmen loose their arrows, but miss the both of you by large margins. Cailan and his allies do not follow you thankfully. You meet up with the sisters and see that only the one is injured. Thankfully, she’ll live. The four of you take off along the stone wall, searching for your way back out.

>How disappointing. I guess I have to let you out if I want to get out of here. Although I’m not too sure how much of a better gig you are than what I had going here. Sure, you’re strong. But you have no head for battle at all.

The four of you flee down the steps of the stone construct, back to the gore room beneath the sand pit. The rats are scurrying like a storm, but still part for you to walk among them. Then you hear a human female laughing. Her laughter is echoing in from above, through the grate. You slowly look up as blood starts dripping down.

The female wolf is impaled on several spears, with her chest cut open and heart torn out.

The door out slides open.

You bare your fangs, but your pack is simply too weak. You can’t continue the fight. Sorrowful looks pass among the pack as they file out through the cave. You’re the last through, and you glance back through the grate to see Cailan stride up the female you had seen earlier. Blood is dripping from her mouth and both of them are nude. At last you recognize her name Caecilia, the Beautiful.

>Now that’s now you build a legend.

With your tail between your legs and two arrows in your side, you run away. The stone door seals shut behind you. When your pack emerges on the edge of the cliff you can see the humans in their stone den running about with fire and fear. The night has only half passed and they still look for you.

Nadel still controls the forest though.

By the way, how's my writing?

And I don't mean by the standards of questing, I mean by the standards of professional writing.

Like a good 40% of why I QM if not more, some times like 99% unfortunately is for the writing and I don't want to suck at it, I want to improve
>>
>>29740264
o-okay

sorry i wasn't in the thread.
your writing is enjoyable, i guess i'm not really the best judge around but hey, i've seen way worse
>>
>>29742458
I don't think he wanted to be judged against other QMs
>>
>>29740264
Sorry I am late again dammit.

Anyway I enjoy it, I feel you do gore very well and the world is quite ruthless, as it should be for a wolf. (as we have all been reminded just now)

Your writing things as seen from the perspective of a wolf seems to be good as well. (though honestly I don't have much to compare to on that one)

Also surprised we are fucking alive. Even with our legends, perks, and intelligence (sometimes intelligent anyway) we always manage to walk a razor's edge between survival and death. Our decisions really do affect affect which one we get closer to, though some day the dice will slip (they almost did here.) and we will die horribly.

Next round we must get revenge for Wolfu. I vote hit and run terror, though moving at night is more complicated due to the twisted.
>>
>>29740264
You Realize that wanting to improve without suxking at it is not feasible, right? You have to be able to make mistakes and be able to look at each and every one of them, scrutinizing every horrible line of text you've produced, in order to pinpoint possible mistakes and finally to excel at it. It is you who has to be your harshest critic, because no one else will be as thorough as you.

You probably heard all of this before, I'm just repeating because I know you will get nothing other than compliments aksing this thread, and compliments sometimes may act as enablers to stagnation, which I'm sure you wish to avoid.

>>29748389
Thanks

>>29748475
My problem is I struggle very much to differentiate between what I intended to invoke with my writing, and what I actually did. When I start reading what I wrote, I immediately call up exactly what I meant to write and lose the ability to tell if that's what I actually conveyed. I could pull up writing from ten years ago and do the same thing.

All I can manage to edit is foreshadowing of things I didn't know would happen at the time and cleaning up technical aspects.

So I really fail at being my own critic, I just know that I'm pretty bad still. Questing has definitely improved my sense for tension though
