Hey there, guys.

I have idea for two quests. But I can't decide which one should I run.

That is where you come in.

>Bone Quest
>You are a skeleton. You don't know if you were raised by a necromancer who died, or whether it was something else, but you are sentient. You are capable of higher thought. You are in some sort of devastated burial ground, it seems to have seen battle recently. You see some bones shivering, while you yourself feel full of energy. It is as if this place is satured with energy that animated you.
>Become an Overlord or Benevolent Leader. Start a civilization or become a one man army. The choice is yours.

Or

>Space
>You open your eyes, the first thing you see is some wreckage of some sort. It is combination of some machinery along with faintly growing runes engraved upon it. Other than that, you seem to be located on some grey desert. As you look up, you can see the blackness of space with stars twinkling everywhere except for where you can see something that resembles a planet, for which you feel strange nostalgia. Your hand wandered towards your throat, where you could feel a strange crystal seemingly fused to it. What you should focus on is to survive and find out why you are here. But you also feel that you have the potential to change this place... for better or for worse.
>Explore the moon, find out how you got here and why.
>Turn it into a paradise or hell. Attempt to reach Earth or not. Meet Aliens, if there are any?


WHICH IS YOUR CHOICE, TG!

BONE QUEST IT IS!


You open your eyes. Or at least, it feels like you are. It's as if a veil has been lifted over your mind.

You look around, trying to see where you are. Bodies, some have already rotted away, others had parts turned to ash, in many places, you could see what looked like graves, some ruined, some still intact.

You raise your hand. What you saw was just bones. No flesh, no muscles, no anything, only bones.

Yes, you were a Skeleton. You were raised at some point by a someone, as part of a plan of a madman, before he was confronted by adventurers. Needless to say, the fight has been over for a long time, you are not even sure how long.

What you were sure, though, was that this place was saturated with the same energy that animated you. Maybe it was simply the power of the spells cast by the necromancer simply seeping into the ground. Maybe it was something else...

You saw movement. Some bones nearby started shivering, while next to them a whole skeleton was doing the same.

>Ignore it and do (What?)
>Stop it(How?)
>Watch
>>
>>42130062

>Watch
>>
>>42130151

You stand back and watch. The skeleton's spasms started to slow down, as if it began to calm down. And then slowly, inch by inch, it stood up.

The skeleton stood before you. It moved it jaw, as if to say something, but then it stopped and just nodded at you.

You raised your non-existant eyebrow and tried to speak yourself.

"What, you can't speak?"

Surprised at the voice coming out of your undead body, you nearly missed the skeleton shaking its head. It seemed to listen to you... interesting.

-----------

Over time, some more skeletons became animated, you now have a group of five skeletons, not counting yourself. All of them seemed to listen to you, and yet... Some seemed to be able to make a sound or two, but still nothing like proper speech. They did not seem dumb but not intelligent either. What could have caused this?

>This place is still satured with negative energy, it would make a good location, but you would have to see why no other skeletons are standing up.

>You have a group of 5 'loyal' skeletons awaiting your orders.

>Wat do

>This place is still satured with negative energy, it would make a good location, but you would have to see why no other skeletons are standing up.

Explore the fuck out the place take our time feel ever inch we are undead we got plenty of time it doesn't matter if it takes a few weeks
>>
Investigate the area.

have the minions collect anything interesting
>>
>>42130525

You explore the fuck out of this place, telling other skeletons to do the same. They listen.

You find other piles of bones, seemingly of different races, some were shorter yet more burly, some were taller and slender.

Finally, after unspecified amount of time, you managed to find a seemingly hollow spot in the ground. You called your skeletons and tried to dig in. You were hoping to uncover what could be there.

You dug for what felt like days, but you still weren't sure about it. You only wanted to reach the thing. With a final shove and push, the ground fell beneath you.

You looked around. It was a cavern of some sort, with what seemed like two tunnels leading off who knows where. From one, you could hear the sound of falling water. From the other, you couldn't hear anything, yet.

In the center of the cavern laid the centerpiece of this place. What looked like a black gem, floating above ground, with curved pillars whose sharp tips were pointing at the gem in question. The gem was as big as your head at the moment.

>Touch the Gem.
>Explore the Tunnels(Which)
>Climb out and do(What)

You sent three of your skeletons down the tunnel, while you walked up to the gem. You slowly raised your bony hand and laid it on the gem's surface.

Immediately you were assaulted by an urge to consume, a feeling of forever being hungry. The power of absence of life. It wanted to use you, it wanted you to be its vessel, a slave.

>Give in
>Resist (Roll 2d10 +2 First 3 rolls)

>Might be stealing this system of rolls from other thing

>>42130946

>Dominate it!!

Rolled 2, 3 = 5 (2d10)

>>42131036

Rolled 9, 8 = 17 (2d10)

>Resist

Rolled 10, 8 = 18 (2d10)

>>42130946
no its my slave turn it into a loli vampire
>>
>>42131151

>18+2 = 20 vs higher dc 18 - SUCCESS

You felt furious. Was this thing trying to make you submit? Submit after you finally managed to regain sentience? This was not going to happen.

You let the fury fill you with strength as you pushed back against whatever urges or feelings this thing was shoving into you. It recoiled, as if burned, but you kept going. You let your mind envelop it, surround it, before you squeezed and said, your voice booming within the mentalscape.

"No. You shall submit to ME!"

The presence seemed to cower before you, retreating. What you could feel from it as it happened was acceptance.

--------

You regained your sight and saw that you were in the cavern, just like before. Except now the crystal seemed to glow as the pillars changed shape into that of ribs. You took your hand off the crystal, yet still felt something like a connection to it. The power that filled you before, now it was stronger than ever. Was this gem the source of it?

Your group of skeletons you sent out still hasn't come back.

>Investigate no sound cave(with who? Or by yourself?)
>Investigate water-sound cavern(with who? Or by yourself?)
>Experiment a bit more with the gem
>Try to talk more to skeletons(Bout what)
>Climb out and explore beyond the 'burial grounds'

>>42131424
Experiment with the crystal
Perhaps it gives you magiks?
>>
>>42131424

Oh, also.

>You showed that force who's the man... skeleton... SKELETON MAN! Your Will is up by 4.

>Experiment with the gem

You stood next to the gem, your arms crossed, as you tried to seem in some way superior to it. You touched it, once again feeling yourself be energized, before you lifted your hand up. It was glowing, slightly but it was, even if the glow was dissipating. In this manner, you put one of the two remaining skeletons next to the gem, letting them touch.

The skeleton seemed to shake, as if it had a seizure, before jumping away from it. It seemed to glare at you.

"Are you crazy?! I could have exploded or something!" It then covered its mouth with its hands, surprised. It could talk properly now. Perhaps that is what the other skeletons lacked? Enough power? Either way, the voice sounded vaguely female

"Well, you didn't, so there's that... And you can talk. See, everything is better!" With that, you had the other skeleton touch the crystal, repeating the process.

You have two intelligent skeletons at your disposal. The three-skeleton party is still missing.

>Investigate no sound cave(with who? Or by yourself?)
>Investigate water-sound cavern(with who? Or by yourself?)
>Experiment a bit more with the gem
>Try to talk more to skeletons(Bout what)
>Climb out and explore beyond the 'burial grounds'
>Something else

>>42131640

>From the submission of crystal, your felt more energized.

>Unlocking ???? 1/???
>>
>Investigate no sound cave(with one intelligent skeleton )
>>
>>42131640
>>Investigate no sound cave(with who? two intelligent skeletons
>>
>Investigate cave of no sound with two intelligent Skellys

And so you ventured forth, in order to save your minions and potential friends. Onward you journeyed into the dark cave.

For some time, nothing happened. You noticed small dark violet crystals set into the walls, but nothing besides that. You kept going down the tunnel...

You went further and further, noticing that with each step, the tunnel was going lower and lower. Your companions seem to be getting worried as it seems that there is no end to this tunnel. Maybe the other skeletons just... kept going and they still haven't hit a dead end or anything?

>Go back
>Continue forward
>>
>>42131960
>>Continue forward
>>
>Continue forward
>>
>>42132015

You continue forward. You would have to explore the fuck out of this cave eitherway, and so the best thing to do is to get it out of the way.

As you continue, you begin to feel something you didn't pay attention to before. Warmth. Heat. Giving only a momentary thought about HOW you can feel temperature as a skeleton, you start to wonder why it is so hot. Somewhere, in the distance, you see a red glow. You continue forward towards it.

You enter another cavern, of similar size as the one with the black gem, except instead of a gem and pillars, you could see a pool of lava in here. The three skeletons you were looking for were lying on the ground, the bones have been charred, some even became ash.

The pool of lava has began to rise, or rather, something rose from it. Lava falling down, obscuring it, only allowed you to see a somewhat humanoid silhouette.

"More of you, dark-spawns, intruding upon my domain? I shall deal with you as I dealt with the ones before!"

>Diplomacy it (2d10+2)
>Attack it(2d10+3)
>Run away(2d10+3)
>Something else
>>
Rolled 8, 4 + 2 = 14 (2d10 + 2)

>>42132176
>Diplomacy it
>>
Rolled 8, 3 = 11 (2d10)

>Attack it
>>
Rolled 4, 6 + 2 = 12 (2d10 + 2)

>>42132176
>Diplomacy it
>>
>>42132278

>Diplomacy 14 vs lower dc 14 - SUCCESS

"We did not mean to introduce, please don't kill us... again!" You scream out quickly, terrified at the idea of once again dying.

That gave the being a pause and finally the magma that was covering it revealed... a creature made out of rock, covered in glowing lines of lava.

He bent down and stared at your small, compared to his, form.

"An intelligent skeleton, and not a lich at all... You don't seem like a puppet or anything of the sort... And yet you are filled with that energy that other undead are. What is it that you want?"

It seems his curiosity won out, giving you a while to attempt a thing.

>Talk to him(Say the thing you want to ask her)
>SURPRISE ATTACK! (2d10+5)
>Just go away...
>Something else

That 'her' in the talking command was supposed to be him. That was a remnant of previous version of the thing, but I realized that you didn't roll high enough to have a fire giantess or lady elemental of fire waifu.

Also, image.
>>
>>42132503
Talk to her.
Compliment her lava
>>42132547
Fucking make it a lava waifu!
>>
>>42132575

Hm, interesting. As long as you provide the line for this flirting/seduction, it will happen.

Also, when you say it, roll 2d10. Depending on what you say, the bonus or dc can change
>>
Rolled 2, 4 = 6 (2d10)

>>42132636
your pretty hot ;)
>>
>>42132716

Hoo, boy. I am giving you guys time to think of something clever. Come on TG! SEDUCE ME!
>>
Does anyone know where the quest thread general has gone? is it no longer allowed? I want to discuss ideas for a new quest but I don't know where to talk to people about it.
>>
>Talk to him(ask about lyches and how there magiv works. oh and why theres a tunnel from here to the surface. ask about him as well)
>>
>>42132924
>No good line = No Waifu
>Going with the questions.

"I know not much about liches, beyond the fact that they are those who have defiled their soul, binding it to an object to achieve immortality, yet have their body remain a husk. I can not tell you much about magic, for I only feel energy in you and the power of fire... As for the tunnel... It was built by a necromancer that sought power, yet he dug too deep and did not expect me in his attempt to expand his base. I feel his power in you, and yet none of his will."

He pondered you asking him about himself.

"I am but a spirit of fire, living here, for it is where I have been bound." He pointed a lava finger towards a far off wall that seemed to be covered by a giant slab of stone.

"I have been imprisoned and bound here by magics of the dark elves. In order to look no longer towards their towns, I have covered the entrance to them..."

He is now staring at you, still wary but more likely just curious. After all, it seemed as if he was lonely.

"As for if you were asking for elementals in general, we are spirits of no gender, our bodies being the form we choose out of our elements. This is form I feel most comfortable with, now, as I was given no information with which to be able to choose my form, other than those of the dark elves I have seen and their monsters."

>End of Part 1, cuz it is late here and I am tired.

>EXP +10 made crystal your bitch.
>EXP +5 non-violent contact with the Elemental

See ya next thread... Maybe
