Attack Helicopter

Crash and burn

Contemplate the poor decisions we undoubtedly made in life and the futility of existence as well as the meaninglessness of it all.

We sign off the ship to the navy, and do some minor tasks before calling it a day.

Since we had come so often as of late, there really was no stockpiled work, so we were able to finish everything rather quickly... there's still about half the evening left, in empire time.

We could go dungeon-diving, but honestly with 3 parties giving us exp at all times, it wouldn't really raise the efficiency of it by much... maybe 22% more exp?

I wonder if we could do something better with our time?

Copy pasting from last thread

Action: Scout out for animals that can be either ridden or are useable for things such as wool.

Research: The bunnys worried that their prosperity as been uninterrupted for so long that something might stop it in the future. In turn the bunnys devised a idea. They learnt that a particularly flexable branch combined with grass twisted together and notched to each end can launch things. They tried attaching the pointy end of a Sharpened improved digger onto a handle and when launched it stuck into the dirt. They dub this invention, a bow.

>>1448391
Copying from last thread

Research: better shelters/fortifications using the wood (to be implemented shortly, better to plan ahead of time)
Action: capture and begin domesticating the spiders we found to use their silk and other resources (potentially as battle mounts / hunting companions).

Other chickens had other ideas too.

also adding we should probably prioritize streamlining our system of governance. the monarchal alpha hen is fine, but a supporting council (parliamentary monarchy?) would keep the people represented and prevent uprisings and morale intact. Maybe 3 elected members to advise the alpha hen?

So QM, apologies for this discussion that took place in your thread that sounds like it should be in /qtg/ instead.
Since the other guy bailed, if you want to take his suggestion to making another one in /tg/, you could. I'd advise against it since he's tripped nearly all of my suspicion alarms without reconciling any of them.

Otherwise, I'll try attending your session this time around, but I might be late an hour or two again because of weird timing issues like this discussion you just saw.

Dear User Moderation,
>This board is for author-driven collaborative storytelling (i.e., "Quests"). In a quest there is a single author who controls the plot of the story and who drives the creative process. They can choose to take suggestions from other posters, or not, at their sole discretion. Quests can be text-based, image-based, or a combination of the two. Drawfaggotry is strongly encouraged!
The fact that I am using an RPG rule-set does not make this thread any less an author-driven collaborative story.

>User moderators are relatively new, yes. The group was formed on the official 4chan IRC, and endorsed by many of the moderators there.
Then, prior to it becoming official, the Moderator(s) should, and have not, make or add to the welcome thread, a listing the duties and responsibilities of User Moderators. Preforming this action would have taken little time and prevented the 30 odd off-topic posts in this thread.
Until that, or a notice from a Mod or Admin, please see global rule 12 and stop shitting up my thread.
Should you feel the need to identify yourself other than with the automatically assigned /qst/ ID, use a name with or without Tripcode, I don't care.
Unless or until "User Moderators/Moderation" is posted alongside notice of a rules change I will continue running RPG's, Narrative Games, and/or Quests here in /qst/.
4chan does have something similar to what you claim to be, Janitors, and should one feel the need to, they may address the issue.

Summary
Your primary arguement is that an RPG cannot be a Quest, which is patently FALSE, because it is a GAME and not "just fiction?" The fact that a Storyteller/QM uses a rules system to constrain players to the action choices the Storyteller allows has alway been part of a Quest. The fact that I'm using a codified rule set makes no difference to the fact that every Storyteller uses rules to limit actions of the participants of a Quest, codified or not.
/Summary

In any case:
This whole discussion derailed my original thoughts and now I cannot do the in-brief that I was going to post.
This individual sophont:human must now acquire thermally activated caffinated liquid solution in order to continue prolonged activity, specifically regarding query/response items and cognative reasoning of dissonant stimulus.

Such roleplaying even when the QM's off-topic, much wow.
Little touches like this are nice to see.

You drive down the snowy white highway. It's been a few hours since you've escaped that lab, and it's beginning to turn to night. Neither of you know where to sleep. Your both exhausted, and you haven't had anything to drink for a while. Not to mention the Russians are after you and your pretty terrified of even stopping...

Dominika of course, isn't the best company. First, she's quite scared of you, mostly from your brutish behavior and look, your hatred of big words she tends to use and you tend to clench up at, and how you sort of fired at her co-workers and kidnapped her. But you feel like she likes you... In a nerdy way. She sometimes breaks the silence by asking you questions about how you feel, or if you feel different at all. She's not really trying to escape at all...

But you know that she really does like you a lot though, and feels... Oddly comfortable next to you. Mostly because she's passed out, her head slightly on your muscular and hairy shoulder. You can't help but take a bit of a closer look... Not the best breasts, but a comfortable enough buttock to warrant a bit of "grasp" on... You shake that thought out of your head though, as you drive down the highway. It can come later, when she's not passed out and won't freak out...

You give a yawn, and you think where you should spend the night...

>An abandoned factory. It's large, might have some others in there, that sort of thing, but it's neraby and has plenty of space. It's not too likely to be searched.
>An abandoned farmhouse. It's nice, comfortable, rooms for you and Dominika... Nearby too, but very likely to be searched...
>The damaged barn. It'll be freezing cold, smell like shit, but no one's going to look there for you...
>Continue to drive...
>Write-In

Also... How is your general attitude towards Dominika?

>Sweet-heart Romanticist. (Douglas will tend to be at heart, a sweetheart and a nice guy.)
>Tough as Iron. (Douglas will try to hide his emotions... But have a soft and warm interior at times.)
>Neutral.
>Peeping Tom. (Douglas will have a tendency to be a bit... Inappropriate.)

like a real American.

I'm going to let anons to continue to vote on the personality of their relationship until tommorow when I get home from work.

Also, if you do choose Peeping Tom, choose a second thing just to make sure his relationship isn't defined by somewhat perverted actions.


You of course, decide to go to the barn...

Of course... Dominika is asleep... It'd be a bit of a shame to leave her here...

You have two very special things, they're both so special you can't decide a favorite. You have your rock, it'sit's special for a lot of reasons. It's smooth, it makes a pretty noise when you hit it with another rock, it doesn't try to poke you with sharp sticks or break heavy objects over your head, and it listens to everything you have to say. There are lots of rocks in the swamp, but you've had this one so long, the other rocks aren't as special.

You also have your other very favorite special thing, three chicken tendies. You used to have four, but then you ate one because it smelled so special. All of the chicken tendies smell better than anything else in the whole swamp, but that one was even better somehow. It was the most special yummy taste you've ever tasted.

Mmm, it was yummy, very yummy. Hmm, all of the other chicken tendies smell very special, and you haven't eaten. Maybe you should eat one? It would be tasty, but then you would only have two chicken tendies, and you can't find chicken tendies in the swamp.

> Should you eat one of the chicken tendies?

Previous Thread: >>1393682

If you’re a die-hard lover of canon, I suggest you turn away now. Like all things 40k, the gauntlet runs from “worshiping the printed, grimdark word” to “over the top silliness.” Most of the time it’s somewhere in between. Others it swerves hard to one side and/or breaks this model entirely. You’ve been warned in advance. I do try to keep things fairly reasonable though.

Alternatively, if you’re not at all familiar with canon or want more details on something, just ask! You don’t need to have played the original Khornette Quest to play and enjoy this one. I’m sure someone (or I) will explain any cameos that come up if you’re lost.

All rolls go against a specified characteristic in the style of Black Crusade. You’ll want to roll under the characteristic value in order to pass the check. The more degrees of success (every multiple of 10 counts as 1), the more awesome of a result. A 1 or an 8 is a guaranteed success, and a 100 is a guaranteed failure. NPCs I roll for only crit succeed/fail on a 1 or a 100.

Best of three rolls when it’s called for, with a 1, 8, or a 100 instantly taking precedence. If multiple characteristics are being rolled for each 1d100 counts for its respective test. Any rolls prior to the call for one and those not linking said post will be ignored.

I realize that /qst/ is much slower than /tg/ ever was, but I’d like to keep things moving. Voting windows will be a maximum of twenty to thirty minutes after the first vote. Same goes for dice rolling. This week we’re going to be running Wednesday (tonight), Friday, and Sunday.

Since we’re fighting another daemon to start things off, remember that you get a +5 bonus to all DCs during the fight thanks to your Malice blood! Try to keep me honest, though I’ll do my best to make sure the +5 is included.

That’s it housekeeping-wise for now. Onto the quest!

Usha nods and hops down from atop her seat on the stack of crates. Her wings flare and slow her down just enough that she alights gracefully. “All is according to plan. Now then, to business.” With a snap of her fingers, her fists become balls of raging infernos. The right burns a bright blue, while the left is a simmering red. She raises them up in front of her and takes on an offensive stance. “The deal is thus: If you beat me, I shall join your little party. If I beat you, you’ll become my little errand girl.”

“As if I’d lose to a daemon like you,” you spit. Though you are slightly amused. A Tzeentchean daemon that prefers to fight with her fists over her sorcery? It’s almost unheard of. Either you’ve walked into a very good trap, or there’s something greater at play here.

“Ah, but the fates will it!” she cries.

Typical Tzeetchean, you think. I’m sure if I don’t shut her up fast she’ll use every opening to claim every blow and counterblow is by some grand design.

The two of you glare at one another, the tension thicker than a Rhino’s armor. Then you both move at the same time…

After shambling around, barely aware of your surroundings you stop as you get to a small clearing between the blocky houses.
As you look up you can see drawings made with chalk both on the walls and the ground, this place probably serves as the makeshift playgroud of the children that live in the area.

''Hmmmm...''
You ponder to yourself.
''A playground...''
You whip out a notepad and write this down for future reference.

''Indeed.
A playground would be nice.''
Someone speaks up from behind you and in your surprise you almost drop your pencil.

Turning around you spot a familiar figure.
''Oh... Aaroniero!
...
Why do I get the feeling we didn't just bump into each other randomly?''

He chuckles at that.
''Becuse we didn't.
I finished the plans for the underground tunnels.
Unless the diggers bump into particularly loose ground I'll never have to touch that stuff again.''

''I see...
So that means Vanguard is online...''

''Yeap.
But it's still in its infancy.''

Project: Vanguard.
The next stage in the evolution of Vanaheims security.
Up until now the city was preparing its defenses against outside attackers.
Vanguard is meant for threats coming from within.

A surveillance system meant to watch over the entire city, guaranteeing the safety of the citizens and easing the burden of the Exequias who patrol the streets day and night.
Of course you didn't like the idea at first but the necessity of the project was apparent.
So with two conditions you gave the project the green light.
First: is that the privacy of the citizens won't be disturbed in any way.
And second: that the thing won't be kept a secret.
You've earned the trust of the people through hard work and you won't throw it away like that.

''And it has to be said...''
Aaroniero resumes.
''That this is just a test.
To see if it's even possible to do.
Only a handful of cameras are active.''

''Good.
Hopefully it'll take a while for it to develop.
The later we reveal this the better.''

''Agreed.
But thanks to this I found out about your little ''trips''...
Care to explain, or is it a secret?''

He must be referring to you regularly moving to Karakura town.

''It's not a secret.''
You shrug.
''It's just not public knowledge... And before you even ask, yes. My wife knows.
I'm practicing.''

He raises an eyebrow at that.
''Practicing what?''

The BLACKED band
Tyrone
A powerful, muscular, angry black male. He's aggressive and doesn't take nobody's shit. He loves capturing and raping any women he finds, hence the Warband's name BLACKED.

Tyrone originally came from a small village in the Sub-Saharan Africa, where he was captured by slave raiders and enslaved, brought to America to fend for himself at a young age. Before long, the innovative young Tyrone escaped, and began forming his own warband to take revenge on his slaveowners. Tyrone led his warband and slew his former slaveowner, and then forcibly BLACKED his slaveowner's wife on top of that. Thus, began the BLACKED Warband.

Strengths:
+Very muscular
+Good-looking
+Charismatic
+Black

Weaknesses
-Hot-headed
-Racism
-White women

Gear:
Heavy armour, massive halberd and combat drugs to amp him up into a berserker rape frenzy.

Ambitions: Make a ton of money, and go around BLACKING as many women as he can.

Acquiring and Improving Spells & Skills:
1) Study, research, explore, train or take classes to discover and learn new spells.
2) Training an already learned spell or skill will raise it further to the next tier once enough [Progress Points] are accumulated.
4) The progress threshold is based on the Fibonacci sequence (1,2,3,5,8,...)
>Usually Spell and Skill tiers are named as Basic => Intermediate => Advanced => Expert => Master
>Alternatively you can label the tiers as T1, T2, T3 and so on.

Spellcrafting:
Spellcrafting involves fusing spells with various skills, knowledge and even other spells that your character has learned together creating a new spell or skill.
>The name of the resulting new spell will be determined by the QM. By default it will be "Cast A B C..."
>Your dice roll will affect the result of the spellcrafting. Lower rolls will result in weaker or negative version of the intended spell and vice versa.

Social Interactions:
1) Role playing with other players is a free action. Role playing with NPCs, however, will cost an action point to do so.
2) Collaborative Player-to-Player actions like trading, tutoring and PvP, will cost an action point to do so.

Combat:
1) Post 2 actions like you normally would. Your opponent will roll their own 2 actions.
2) To defeat your opponent, you must overcome their defensive or evasion roll and vice versa
>If you have not rolled an evasion or defensive roll then your opponent must pass normal DC to hit you and vice versa.
>If both combatants attacked successfully then it's a Double KO.
>If both combatants defended successfully then it's a Stalemate.
