Previously, on Avatar Quest......

After several weeks of helping to run the settlement in your father's absence,you were informed that the Queen wished to meet you, and after saying goodbye to those you wished to say goodbye to, you departed. After being escorted to the capital, you met the Queen in her throne room. She was very happy to see you, and she acted very pleasantly towards you. After answering a few questions, you demonstrated your Earthbending for her against one of her guards. The two of you spoke for a while longer before she showed you to your room. Falling asleep, you were confronted by the previous Avatar, who seemed rather unimpressed with you. The two of you spoke for a time, trading quite a few insults and accomplishing very little. You woke up and visited the Queen, who revealed that she knew you were the Avatar. The two of you briefly discussed the implications of that, during which time you admitted you knew nothing about leadership or being the Avatar. The Queen introduced you to one of her advisors, Lathic, the son of Avatar Gonyo. The Queen left the two of you alone, and you discussed your distrust of the Queen with Lathic. He told you the history of Queen Alara and Ren, and gave his account of the Queen's side of things. You decided that you should try to help Alara and Ren work things out, but that you should first see the city for yourself.

>Welcome to Avatar Quest. Here are the rules.

Decisions are made by vote. Each vote has a ten minute interval, after which, the option that receives the most votes it the one that is chosen.

There are no write-ins unless explicitly stated

Some options require rolls. In that event, rolls will be out of 100. Whether rolls succeed or fail is decided by the first three rolls. If one passes, then you succeed regardless of the other two. Rolls will really only occur during training, or when trying something new.
All decisions are final. If you regret voting for something, too bad. Think carefully before you make decisions.

Try to keep waifu bullshit to a minimum.

>All threads are archived on suptg

"I want to get both Ren and the Queen's side of things, then try to get them talking and working things out," you tell Lathic.

"It's worth a try," he says.

"I also think I should see the city and its people," you tell him. "Being here is little better than a gilded cage, and makes her policies little more than words on paper."

He nods. "I understand. Try speaking with the Queen, see if you can convince her to let you roam the city. If not, come tell me and I will try speaking on your behalf. Or, come speak to me if you ever need advice or simply want to talk. I can usually be found here."

With that, he takes deep, calming breaths, returning to meditating.

>A. Visit the Queen

>B. Go to the training area

>C. Go to the kitchen

With Lathic returned to his meditation, and a basic plan in mind, you choose to pay the Queen a visit.

Leaving Lathic in peace and passing the training area, you make your way around the palace and go inside, climbing the stairs until you reach the third floor. When you reach the door and knock, the Queen immediately calls for you to enter.

You find her sitting in her throne, looking somewhat surprised to see you, but not displeased.

"Hello again, Shin," she greets. "I hope things went well with Lathic. But, I wasn't expecting the two of you to finish speaking so soon. Is everything alright?"

>A. Tell her you wish to see the city

>B. Tell her you liked Lathic

"I liked Lathic," you tell her.

She smiles. "I'm glad. He is a good man, and I believe that he can teach you much."

"I want to see the city," you say, changing the subject to your reason for coming here.

She leans back in her throne and nods. "Of course, now that we've actually discussed this Avatar business, you are free to come and go as you wish. I only ask that if you choose to leave the city itself, you speak to me first. So, what is it that you wish to see in the city?"

>A. Tell her you've just been feeling a bit homesick since you left on that expedition

She rises from her throne and walks over to you. "That is a wise course of action, but before you depart, there is one matter left to address."

Behind you, the doors open, and both Kana and Narlonok enter the room, eyes trained on you. The doors slam shut behind them as they approach.

"Kana, Narlonok, good to see you," you greet the pair. "What's this about?"

"We have come to complete a task the Queen has given us," Narlonok tells you as he and Kana get closer.

Kana steps past you and produces a small brown pouch, which she hands to the Queen before stepping back behind you alongside her brother.

The Queen holds the pouch out for you to take.

"What is this?" you ask, eyeing the pouch.

The Queen chuckles. "Just take it and you'll see. Honestly, you could have answered that question yourself in the time it took to ask."

You still aren't completely sure you should take it.

"I don't want to spoil the surprise, go head and take it," she insists.

"The Queen told you to take it," Narlonok points out.

"It's rude not to accept a gift," Kana adds.

You reach out and take the pouch from her, quickly opening it and looking inside. A few gold pieces fill the pouch, which you quickly close, looking at the Queen.

"I'm not sure if you were aware, but there was a rather large bounty for Ming the Bandit King," she informs you. "The reward would have been larger had you managed to bring him to me alive, but you still earned fifty gold pieces for killing him. I figured that fifty gold pieces is a bit much to be carrying around at once, so I put five of them in that pouch, and had the rest put in a small chest in your room. It's all yours to use as you see fit. Congratulations, and thank you for bringing Ming to justice."

Nah, it's the first age of mankind. We're still flush with native metals right there on the surface with little need to mine them and extract them from ore. Currency is essentially fiat at this point.

"Thank you, your majesty," you say.

She laughs. "Why are you thanking me? I'm only providing payment for a sorely-needed service to the Kingdom."

"You know, I actually tried to take him alive, but I didn't manage it. It was my first time using Firebending in combat, and so I misjudged the line between 'in too much pain to move' and 'dying from shock'," you explain. "I'm sorry."

"It's an unfortunate mistake, but considering the kind of person Ming was, I see it as an acceptable one, as callous as it sounds," she says.

"So, why did you want Ming alive?" you ask.

"He could have told us much about his gang's hideouts, the locations of his lieutenants, where his stolen goods were stored, and so on," she explains.

"What will happen with the bandits now?" you question.

"Ideally, Ming's lieutenants will fight amongst each other for dominance," the Queen answers. "When a new leader finally does emerge, the bandits should be fewer in numbers and resources."

"Her majesty had hoped for a Queen sweep, but this is still a much better situation than what we were in previously," Kana tells you.

"She finds your work satisfactory," Narlonok sums up.

"Please tell me if there's anything further I could do. Given the speed with which they attacked us it seems our settlement is near one of their major hideouts, so it would be a natural place to base further efforts from."

"I'm happy to help," you tell her. "Please tell me if there's anything further I could do. Given the speed with which they attacked us, it seems our settlement is near one of their major hideouts, so it would be a natural place to base further efforts from."

"Yes, basing from that fortress seems like a good idea, based on what we have heard," Kana agrees.

"I'll have some more soldiers sent there at once," the Queen assures you both. "As for what you can do to help, Shin, I will inform you if I find any place your talents could be well utilized. Sending you on the hunt now seems counterproductive."

She turns her attention to the guards. "I want a dozen more soldiers sent to that settlement at once."

"As you command, your majesty," Narlonok says with a bow.

He and Kana leave the room, leaving you and the Queen alone.

"Shin, while you're out in the city, could you perhaps do something for me?" she asks.

>A. Of course

"Provided it's within my capabilities and doesn't conflict with my morals, of course. Sorry, that sounded flippant. I've just gotten a bit wary of making promises since I learned I was the Avatar. I don't want to disgrace the position by breaking my word."

>>33853121

>>33853146
>>33853190
"Of course," you answer.

She gives you a grateful smile. "Thank you. I'm not sure if you're aware, but some of my policies have created division in my Kingdom, particularly between benders and non-benders. It's been relatively minor so far, but I am concerned about it evolving into open hostilities. Recently, however, it has come to my attention that a group has emerged, advocating cooperation between benders and non-benders for the good of the Kingdom. I'm curious about them, but if I show up with any of my guards at one of their meetings, it might give off the wrong impression. I hear they are having a meeting tonight, and I was hoping you would attend, then tell me about it."

"I will," you tell her.

"Thank you, I really do appreciate it," she says gratefully, producing a small piece of paper and handing it to you.

"The Bender-Non-Bender Alliance welcomes all who wish to work together to make this Kingdom better for everyone," it says. Below that simple message is an address and a time.

"As I said, you may come and go as you please, so long as you do not leave the city without speaking to me first," she reminds you. "But, I would like to hear about this meeting as soon as possible."

"My Queen, do you happen o have any weapons I may borrow?" you ask. "I'm a bit reluctant to use my bending in the city."

She looks amused by this request. "Shin, you and your family are famous in this city for your Earthbending, so long as you don't use any of the other elements, you should be fine. But, I'm sure I can get a weapon for you."

It takes a few minutes, but the Queen has a dagger delivered by one of her guards, which she then gives to you. It's rather simple looking, but the blade is nice and sharp, which is really all you need.

Now armed, and with permission to leave the palace, you do exactly that, heading out to explore the city. Passing through the palace gates, you decide which part of the city to visit first.

>A. Go to the residential district

>B. Go to the market district

>C. Go to the city gates

>D. Go to the address on the paper and wait for the meeting

>E. Go to one of the local inns

>F. Go back to the palace

Let's try to find some basic gossip and rumors as well as general feelimgs going through the city. What better place than a inn?
>>
>>33854041

>>33854041

>>33854187
>>33854179
>>33854161
>>33854149
You decide to visit the market district.

You find it to be as lively as ever, with countless merchants selling their wares at stands, and even more selling them from within shops. You spot a weapons shop nearby, and a clothing shop. You hear the sounds of people trying to get the attention of potential customers.

"Finest jewelry in the Kingdom!" one shouts

"No finer water to be found!" another announces.

>A. Go to the weapon shop

>B. Go to the clothing shop

>C. Go to the jewelry stand

>D. Go to the water stand

>E. Keep walking

>F. Stop where you are and listen to everyone

>>33854382
>F. Stop where you are and listen to everyone
>>
>>33854577
>>33854396
You stop where you are, wanting to just listen to what everyone is saying. You mostly hear people shouting about how great their goods are, or negotiating prices, but you do hear some conversation worth noting.

"Fifty silver pieces"

"Fifty? You only charged the last man twenty-five!"

"He's a bender, Queen's law. So either show me some bending, or pay me my fifty silver"

You hear another pair nearby speaking about the meeting tonight.

"..be there?"

"No, he's still away with his family, I heard a few of his top people are going to handle the meeting tonight."

"I wonder if they can hold everyone's attention as well as he can"

"We'll find out"

The pair walk out of earshot.


>A. Go to the weapon shop

>B. Go to the clothing shop

>C. Go to the jewelry stand

>D. Go to the water stand

>E. Start walking

>F. Stay where you are and listen to everyone

>>33854683

So a tariff is imposed on non benders?
>>
>>33854683
B: Clothing Shop.

My thoughts are the following; our family's rather well-known for bending, yea? So, if we show up to the meeting as is, they'll know who we are and be more... hostile, ya know? More closed. If we go shopping and get a small disguise, maybe new clothes and a nice hat, they won't know a thing and our mission will be more successful.

>>33854735
doubtful
it would make much more sense to just give benders discounts
although 50% is huge, way more than expected
>>
Let's pay for him!
>>
If the Queen was wise and did not want to appear unfair to nonbenders she should of subsidized the Benders with military conscription with high wages, not through price fixing at the markets.
>>
>>33854775
It's basically an enormous tax for just not being a bender.
>>
>>33854775
Yeah in retrospect that is more obvious, also is anyone slightly unsettled by the fact we have yet to see a single non-bender adviser in court?
>>
>>33854735
>>33854767
You follow the pair, trying to be as quiet about it as possible, and listen in on their conversation.

"Well, even without him here, we've got almost a dozen new members in the past week," one of them, a short, skinny man with a bald head points out to the other, a young woman with long brown hair.

"Yes, he should be pleased," the woman concedes as the two round a corner.

"You know, I can never seem to remember his name," the man comments.

"Are you serious?" the woman asks.

"Come on, help me out here..." the man whines, his voice becoming quieter

>A. Go to the weapon shop

>B. Go to the clothing shop

>C. Go to the jewelry stand

>D. Go to the water stand

>E. Just wander the district

>F. Stop where you are and listen to everyone

>G. Go to the residential district

>H. Go to a local inn

>I. Go to the city gates

>J. Go back to the palace

>K. Follow the pair around the corner

>L. Approach the two men arguing about prices
>>
>>33854918
And like I said, it would make much more sense to just give a discount to benders.
>>
>>33854827
But taxing nonbenders for not being benders is so much more blatantly Immoral, we might not have caught on otherwise.
>>
>>33854983
>C
get some bling
>>
>>33854984
call it a discount all you want in the end its still nonbenders subsidizing benders through government mandate.

AKA a tax.
>>
>>33855002
shuuuut up
If som is anything other than a total retard 50 was the normal price and only benders get a special price of 25

>>33855064
except in that form the tax is far less than 50%, since benders are heavily outnumbered by non-benders.
>>
>>33854983
Recasting
>B: Clothing Shop.
>My thoughts are the following; our family's rather well-known for bending, yea? So, if we show up to the meeting as is, they'll know who we are and be more... hostile, ya know? More closed. If we go shopping and get a small disguise, maybe new clothes and a nice hat, they won't know a thing and our mission will be more successful.
>>
>>33854983
>K. Follow the pair around the corner
>>
>>33854983
>B. Go to the clothing shop
We've been wearing the same set of clothing for like, a week now. Let's get changed.
>>
>>33855097
I wonder what the ratio actually is? That's never been clear. The writers have stated that the Fire Nation had a relatively low proportion of benders to non-benders, and that the Air Nomads had a near 100% bending population, but the average relative proportion has never been said as far as I can remember.
>>
>>33855211
It was stated by that one dude that benders seemed to be in danger of dying out, so I'd imagine the ratio is rather low.
>>
>>33855175
>>33855099
You stop following the pair, and make your way to the clothing shop.

You find it occupied by a few other shoppers, and the shops owner, who stands behind a counter and watches as the people browse. You take the time to look through his selection of clothing; simple shirts and pants, hooded robes, dresses, suits and expensive looking clothes, and shoes.

>A. Look at normal clothes

>B. Look at robes

>C. Look at dresses

>D. Look at suits and expensive looking clothes

>E. Look at shoes

>F. Leave
>>
>>33855250
Yeah, but that's due to major losses after the recent wars. I'm wondering more about the relative birth rate of benders assuming a population of equal starting size.

seconding.
I'd suggest a robe for us-it's easy to move in and conceal things inside of, plus they help us look the part of the Avatar when we want

Get dad nothing, he sold us out to the Queen. Maybe get mom a necklace with the family symbol on it?
Bulo gets a how-to guide for talking to women
Daggers for Galda sound good. Maybe one at least as fancy as the one the Queen gave us, in case of fancy gatherings.

don't know what to get everyone else

>>33855532

We should get Bulo something mocking. I suggest a life preserver, if those even exist this early.

You grab a set of white clothing, and walk up to the counter. The shopkeeper takes a look at what you have, and then tells you that it will cost ten silver pieces.

"Well, unless you're a bender, then it's five," he adds.

>A. Pay 10

>B. Demonstrate Earthbending and pay 5

>C. Pay 10 and look at more clothes (specify)

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Pay 5 and go look at more clothes (specify)

>F. Forget it, leave the clothes and leave the shop
>>
>>33855796
The problem with the chew toy is size. It's head is bigger than our entire body, we'd need to give it a literal stuffed bear (well, platypus-bear) to chew on for it to get any enjoyment out of it.

It offends our aesthetics to pay less just because of our powers. We're flush right now, anyway.

Sneaky =/= incognito.

I'm going with >>33855852
>>
>>33855892
We're not trying to be stealthy, though. We're trying to be distinct from our usual look. If people associate us with bright white clothing there will be a disconnect when we go back to our usual clothes.
>>
>>33855825
D.

"Cheaper for benders huh? Why not just make it free?"
*Slap him in the face and walk out*

>>33855930
>hey look, the asshole known for wearing clearly visible all white get him.

yeah pretty inconspicuous alright

>>33855852
this
and also buy a robe
next stop-dagger shop
>>
>>33855825
>F. Forget it, leave the clothes and leave the shop
>>
>>33855999
The point of the clothing is to make people not recognize us. If they notice us, we don't give a shit, as long as they don't know who we are.
>>
>>33856027
seconded
and voting that showing our bending and paying full price is how we buy everything today, just so we don't vote for it again

You say nothing as you fish a gold piece from your coin pouch and set it on the table. The shopkeeper takes it and gives you ninety silver in a large pouch as change.

As you take it, along with your clothes, and make your way to the exit, you turn back to the shopkeeper.

"By the way," you say, "I'm a bender."

You demonstrate this by creating a pillar of Earth right outside the shop, lowering it as you exit. You then decide what to do next.

>A. Go to the weapon shop

>B. Go to the jewelry stand

>C. Go to the water stand

>D. Wander the area

>E. Go to the residential district

>F. Go to a local inn

>G. Go to the city gates

Dagger for Galda, what should we buy for best grill Felna?
>>
>>33856171
F. Go to a local inn

Best girl Galda gets fancy daggers, best girl Felna gets fancy gloves (she's a monk when not firebending, right?)

>>
>>33856348
>>33856282
You make your way to the nearby weapon shop, which is mostly empty outside of you and the shopkeeper. The selection is rather extensive, including daggers, swords, axes, maces, spears, bows, javelins, and throwing knives.

>A. Look at daggers

>B. Look at swords

Get Galda a pair of daggers, preferably a twin set. Then get Shin a suit of armor, lightweight scale or lamellar would probably be best.

And I kind of want to get Shin a tetsubo
>>
>>33856457
personally, I'm thinking laminate. light, easy to move in, and a chest guard with vambraces and shin guards wouldn't be to extravagant

Oh damn.. I like that anon. I'll definitely second that. Its also good for "non lethal" combats
>>
>>33856594
I'd rather have a regular staff, personally. Can do all of those things without slowing us down as much. Aang sure got a lot of mileage from his.
>>
>>33856594
plus, since its a big smashy stick, it doesnt matter if fire and rock crush any edges or fuck the temper
>>
>>33856486
i can dig
>>33856493
especially tetsubo Avatar-we can spar with Galda and learn to be a good fighter without bending and then move to threesomes with her and Felna
>>
>>33856493
eh I'd rather have a crane fan but a Tetsubo would be pretty neat.
>>
>>33856637
aang was a flighty poofball airbender. we are stronk, like earf.
>>
>>33856637
I support a staff.
Flexible, non-lethal, and unassuming.
>>
>>33856666
get Felna a crane fan for firebending
>>
>>33856629
anon, polygamy's wrong
its polyamory
>>
>>33856692
gaaaaaayyyyyyyy.

staffs are better for fire anyways. helps with flame blades. you need aoe? just dragon breath
>>
>>33856633
>Huh what's a tetsubo?
>Googles it
>Two handed big ass studed mace

Non lethal my ass
>>
>>33856633
I would hesitate to call a tetsubo a less than lethal weapon, let alone non lethal.
>>
>>33856717
either way, trying for it is going to end with a dead avatar. or a single one.
somnius dont fuck around
>>
>>33856692

>>33856717
But anon you're forgetting best girl Turtle shark

>>33856726
>Crane fan
>Not stylish as fuck for firebending
>>
>>33856729
>>33856731
Well broken limbs are a lot less lethal than a shit ton of fire to the face. And is a lot easier to do pinpoint strikes.

Agreed though, its significantly more less than lethal than non lethal. Better than a blade anyway.
>>
>Not a single person suggested a glaive
>>
>>33856798
the tetsubo has choices.
sure, it can be used like a staff. break a rib or two, smash a leg in.

but also it can crush skulls and murder with relative ease. thats useful. its like swiss army combat.
>>
>>33856771
not in this time period. Assuming Avatar somewhat mimics real history when it comes to social norms in the same way it does technology (which it has in the shows), having multiple wives would be accepted and even encouraged so long as the husband could support them all. I think the acceptable limit is usually around six or seven in most cultures, except during the Qing dynasty due to multiple inheritance laws

You decide to take a look at the daggers, for some reason wanting to get Galda a set as a gift. Why you're getting a gift for someone who nearly murdered you and regularly assaults your brother, you're not quite sure. Maybe it's a peace offering, maybe a gesture of friendship, or maybe you just owe her a new dagger.

You spot a set of twin daggers with golden hilts, priced at four gold pieces.

You spot another twin set with decorated hilts, each dagger having twin dragons coiling around the hilts with their faces touching each edge at the bottom of the blade. The set costs two gold.

You spot a single dagger with the same design priced at one gold.

You also spot many plain daggers and sets for much lower prices.

>A. Get the gold twin set

>B. Get the twin dragon twin set

>C. Get the twin dragon single

>D. Get a plain set

>B. Get the twin dragon twin set


>H. Look at maces
I do believe a tetsubo would be under maces
>>
>>33856894
We definitely owe her a dagger. She lost one in the bandit's skull when we fed him to Shark-Turtle. Which now makes me wonder if Shark-Turtle is okay. I assume so, it would have become obvious by now if there were sharp shards of metal cutting up its stomach. Maybe it crunched it up to harmless bits.

>>33858392
seems a good match for the kind of bender Shin is, not saying we can't try something else later but I'm really not interested in flexibility in a weapon
>>
>>33858522
Same here. I think a tetsubo seems like an appropriate weapon.

I just don't really see Shin using a bladed weapon. If Shin is going to use a weapon other than his bending, it makes sense for it to be a weapon that can be variable (to a degree) in its lethality. Theres not a massive amount you can do to make bladed weapons less lethal.
>>
>>33858664
im votving tetsubo as well. just not those lame ass ones.
were not JUST an earth bender. were the avatar. flexibility is key almost by definition
and clubs THAT heavy don't have as much flexibility in their lethality as you'd think. id rather not carry around the obvious military death weapons, pls.

>>33858664
Blunt weapons will kill your shit almost as hard as bladed weapons
