Nobody steals from a pirate.

((Previously, I've been micromanaging each soldier's equipment, which has started to become overwhelming at only thirty men, once there's fifty or a hundred I won't be able to use the system I've been using. So I've devised a different way to keep track of soldier's statistics. Instead of saying 30 sword slightly trained bandit scum, I'd say:

Bandits, (30)
Exp: 1
Pay: 2 p/w
Inv: Sword, Clothes

The name, is the type of unit, the number between the () is the quantity of the unit, exp is the experience of the unit, (0 is untrained, 15 is masterful), pay is the amount of crowns they demand per week, and Equ is the equipment of each individual, and Arm is the armor of each individual. This system will make it easier to keep track of things, and organize the soldiers into squads and armies later on. I'm sorry if you liked the other system better, but this is the only way I'll be able to keep the quest going, I hope you all understand.))

> Durwin's Warband, (28 men), (71 crown weekly wages)

> Bandits, (8)
> Exp: 2
> Pay: 2 p/w
> Equ: Swords:(6), Clubs:(2) Horse:(8)
> Arm: Mail:(4), Clothes:(4)

> Bandits, (12)
> Exp: 1
> Pay: 2 p/w
> Equ: Clubs:(12)
> Arm: Clothes:(12)

> Deserters, (4)
> Exp: 5
> Pay: 5 p/w
> Equ: Swords:(4), Crossbows:(4) Horse:(4)
> Arm: Mail:(4)

> Peasants, (3)
> Exp: 1

> Equ: Clubs:(3)
> Arm: Clothes:(3)

> Ex-Guard, (1)
> Exp: 5
> Pay: 5 p/w
> Equ: Sword:(1), Crossbows:(1) Horse:(1)
> Arm: Mail:(1)

(cont.)

They're a capable force, that's for sure. If you felt like it, you could level an entire township with this army! But that'll have to wait, for now, it's time to revel in your victory. You give a stern command, "Break open one of them casks!" which your men are only to happy to oblige. Several hours later you've each shot off the crossbows a dozen times in gambling matches, beat each other with fists for the hell of it, and held a strange, yet festive dance when it turned out one of the peasant volunteers played a lute. Things are beginning to quiet down, and it's starting to get dark. Your men are huddled chatting around campfires, and sleeping in the wagons. The prisoners are divided into three groups, men, women, and children.

You find your eyes drifting over to the second category, two women sit, tied to the wheels of one of the older wagons. Yuth, the elderly trader, has fallen asleep, and Vaelyn, her sultry young granddaughter, lies tied to the wheel. Her tanned skin gleams in the firelight, and her short, blonde hair cascades down just beneath her shoulders. You find your eyes peering lower, and lower, and you find yourself feeling rather bold all of a sudden. You know you'd planned to take her after Yuth and Erbin had finished doing business in Orht, but, it's a rather cold night, and you're feeling lonely...

> Do you sleep with Vaelyn now?

> Yes, you've been eyeing her for quite some time now...
> No, the mead must be getting to you....

>>859058
> No, the mead must be getting to you....

>>863297
MC

NPC

To be clear, the top total votes will determine MC. Three choices per post sound good, though.

>Acrobat
>Animal Handler
>Actor

You awake to a monotone chiming that belongs to your alarm clock. Straining yourself to reach it, you place your hand firmly on the snooze button and immediately roll over into bed again. You remember having a huge migraine last night, the most painful you have ever experienced. You have started getting them recently, but you wonder if school stress is making them worse. You also vaguely remember having a strange dream about a desert and time travel, but it’s hard to remember any details.

Whatever the case, your mind wanders to your sister, your mother and your school situation. The clock starts ringing again in short order, you silence it again, this time sitting up in the same motion. You rub your eyes and notice the details on your clock briefly.

You remember your mother buying you this alarm clock for your birthday, which she had the name______________engraved on the bottom.

>SAVIOR LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM ACTIVE
>CONVERSION PROGRESS: 23.751% COMPLETE

An endless series of words scroll across your sight as it feels like someone is tearing your heart out from your chest, your screams stop as you no longer can pull air into your lungs. Panic sets in amidst the pain that if you do die, than it will be experiencing this unending hell for the rest of your life. A small mercy being granted to you as your senses and eyesight slowly grow dim.

“Wow, she’s actually taking.” you hear a voice say as you black out.

“That means we won’t need to subjugate her. Prep the Ghoststalker armour immediately, we’ll put it on her then assign her to group 14.” another female voice says before you finally black out.

******

“And that’s what I remember of how I became an Alchemical. The rest I already covered with you during the institute escape.” you finish up talking to Maggie while cloaked in the middle of the park bench.

Maggie can be seen furiously writing down what you said word for word on her pen and paper, before finishing up. “Here I was thinking you wouldn’t live up to your promise for that interview! What a difference compared to Exigents! Most of those say they often feel fulfilled with some new sense of purpose or duty after receiving their gift!”

“I envy them, I was only filled with pain, confusion, and more questions than I got answers for.” you say seeing the slowly turning fall leaves in the park over the view of the lake. The park right now is empty as a ghost, the only things here are the geese in the center of the lake, ignorant of all the problems you face.

“I wonder if that’s because you were a manmade Exigent of sort. I mean until Dragonblooded the only people capable of fighting off the elemental courts were friendly elementals. It's only with the developments of recent technology and the Dragonblooded that they were pushed back.” Maggie says gazing upon the lake with a big smile on her face.

“I know I know I read the reports, something about when becoming an Exigent the god’s goals has a massive impact on their behavior, etc... They often want to change the world, and here I am just trying to escape an island.” you reply to Maggie.

“Well no you shouldn’t think of it this way. In a sense this... this is your call to a higher power after you can no longer live in your home. It's a form of catharsis.... A spiritual Laxative if you will.” Maggie says.

You give her a hard stare even though she wouldn’t be able to see it. “Can’t you say anything that isn’t vulgar in a conversation for once?”

Maggie laughs as she waves her hand.“Na! That shit ain’t me! If I can’t do something to both inform and shock or disgust someone in a conversation in one way or another than I have failed as a journalist. Besides even if you don’t believe what I just said you can’t deny your talents right? Have you seen any improvements lately?”

“After many life or death struggles, I have actually.” you reply to Maggie.

TUTORIAL: MARTIAL ARTS MASTERY BONUS

Whenever Hibiki completely learns a martial art style, she’ll have the ability to learn a Mastery bonus! Style bonuses are powerful buffs to the charms of a particular martial arts and generally towards encouraging a particular playstyle. Be careful with your selection, because once you decide the effect is permanent!

- “When my enemies are unaware of my presence, many will fall.” (Vanishing Ninja: Hibiki becomes able to use the style from stealth far more effectively. Liquid Steel Flow does not end if one uses it to make a decisive attack and KO’s the opponent while Shining Star Execution gains the mute keyword and doubles 10s on damage rolls when made from stealth.)

- “Battle may be chaotic at times, but so long as one is patient and moves at their own pace to the eb and flow of battle, you will be victorious.” (Patient Master: For the daredevil. While Single Point form is up Hibiki may pay 2i to delay her action on purpose, waiting to be attacked. If she is than she the turn she delayed to clash that opponent with +1 automatic success to the roll and rerolling all 1s on the damage roll. Additionally if Hibiki just manages to parry an attack (meaning the opponent misses by 1 or less) and Hibiki may activate Horizon-Swallowed Star Flash as a special form of counterattack (and still gains the +1 bonus for winning a clash). This is called the “Just Guard” technique.)

- “I realize that I now live in a world where I pit steel against mystic arts, so I have learned how to rend those arts asunder.” (Slayer of Magic: For those who use to crush magical support an opponent has. If the opponent is crashed than Hibiki may activate Six-Demon Scabbard Binding for a special effect. By succeeding at a gambit at a special difficulty Hibiki is able terminate ongoing non-permanent charm or sorcery spell the opponent has once per crash. In addition Void Slicing Wind can be used in conjunction with a clash, allowing Hibiki to teleport up to extreme range [Roughly the horizon])

- "My skills are overall better, but I've yet to decide an area of focus." (Decide later, can do so at any time)

>What is this quest?

Alchemical Blade Prequel Quest, a quest set in the Modern version of Creation from the Exalted setting, focusing on how the robotic Alchemical Exalted came to be within the setting. If you love hints of Cyberpunk and high action quests, then you may enjoy this quest.

>Who are we?

The quest is mainly going to be played out in flashbacks, in which during the flashbacks we take control of the Moonsilver caste Alchemical Exalted Junpaku Hibiki, while in the current time you play as “Anonymous”. The game will take place within the city of Versino within the central continent of Creation Meruvia. Labelled as a dangerous and murderous science experiment gone rogue, you need to evade forces of the mightiest army within Creation sprinkled with the powerful Elemental supersoldiers known as the Dragonblooded, trying to find out who is responsible for what you’ve become and how to escape their clutches once and for all.

>Alchemical? Moonsilver? I don’t know anything about Exalted, much less Modern Exalted...

I’ve made this quest to be as friendly to newbies as possible, and I also see it as an introductory guide to the World of Modern Exalted. You can google “1d4chan Exalted” for information on the general vanilla setting, but what I’ll be using is the Modern Version of Exalted as shown in “Shards of the Exalted Dream” book, in where its Alchemicals are quite different than those of Vanilla Exalted. Feel free to ask any question about Exalted in the thread and I will do my best to answer it.

>Archive?

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Alchemical+Blade+Quest

>System?

Dicepool system. When performing an action, everyone rolls a number of d10’s based on what the action is (I will list the pools for most actions, but if you want to have a roll for an action, ask and I’ll make the dicepool for it). The first roll is the one that’ll be used, but if someone makes another roll for a different action and more people vote for that, I’ll be using that one instead.

>This seems hella complicated, is there any way you can boil things down for me?

http://pastebin.com/NexXpPC1

>XP?

Favored Attributes cost 4 XP per dot to increase (Underlined on stat sheet when released) while non-favored ones cost 5 XP. Abilities themselves cost 3 XP per dot to increase naturally. All charms cost 6 XP per purchase with Dedicated slots costing 4 XP each and General ones costing 6 XP each. At the end of every “mission” (In game objectives set by either me or some goal the audience desires) you will be presented with a possible acquisition list of charms. Experience can also be gained by developing the character, learning about the world, or just in general things people find interesting.

Heljik speaks.

"Perhaps there is truth in your words, Marius."

The evening goes on peacefully, as the council discusses how to change the pantheon after so many years of dedication. It will take a long time, but it can be done.

>Allow the farmers project to continue next year after we stocked up our food storage first to prevent famine.

The plan is set. Food begins to be stored for the next year.

>Research METAL magic and metallurgy in general.

The College gets to work on researching possible magic with metal. The study will take 2 years to finish.

>Put a farmer and a mage on botanic research of useful plant life in the surroundings.

Research is begun, which will take a year to finish.

>Have our warriors host mock battles for entertainment and to keep our population /fit/.

In order to do so, an arena must first be built. Some warriors send in a request for one to be built in order to host these fights.

>EVENT 1
Scouts return from the expedition and report the existence of a growing group of bandits in the north east.

>EVENT 2
The diplomatic delegation has returned, escorting Mirai's leaders into the keep. They include a prince who stands with a regal stance and a young woman dressed as a cleric who accompanies him.

>How will you receive them, and what do you want to accomplish with their visit?

>You have 5 actions for the half year, besides the necessary action needed to be taken above.

>>864048
Action 1: Slay the bandits in the name of the gods!
Action 2: Deal with the prince and cleric for profit and friendship
Action 3: Strike the earth!
Action 4: Chisel a mightly statue for extra culture gains
Action 5: Have a feast, you can never have too much feast

>>864054
What will the statue represent?

After sleeping like a log the whole night, you and Leah find yourselves extremely hungry when you wake. Neither of you took the time last night for dinner after yesterday's events, and it's only just now catching up to you. The two of you head down to the cafeteria, where you find the Elric brothers already at a table. They wave you over, and you both take a seat next to them.

"Hey guys, so we neglected to tell you some good news we got yesterday." Edward says. "With all the excitement, we kind of missed our chance to address it."

"You know how I got the ability to use transmutation without a circle yesterday?" Al asks. "It was because I regained my memories of seeing the truth. And while I was there, I saw my body! It's still there, in the gate! All we have to do is find out how to pull it back out."

"There's also the less pleasant detail that when we tried to revive mom, Al's soul was put into the body we created." Ed adds. "Until I gave my arm to pull it back out and bind it to the armor. And I'm wondering, if it costs so much just to move a soul around, how are we gonna pull Al's whole body out? Anyway, we'll keep looking into it. It's just nice to know his body is still there. It's the first tangible bit of hope we've had towards getting it back. At least, since the Philosopher's Stone was a bust."

All of you sans Alphonse go on eating, though at one point you could swear you saw him sneak some food up to his helmet. That would be ridiculous though, so you convince yourself you saw things wrong.

Once you're all finished, you get up and head out. Mustang wanted you to go see Yi sometime today to discuss things, but you don't actually know when that's supposed to be. In fact, if Mustang is going to be under increased surveillance, he may not get a change to come and discuss anything at all. You still aren't aware of the fallout from yesterday's incident.

>A.Go straight to Yi, you'll at least be able to get his take on things

>B.Go check out what the situation is like around the Lieutenant Colonel

>C.Ask the Elrics what they'll be doing

>D.You may be under watch yourself, even. You should do something else (Write-in)

>>B.Go check out what the situation is like around the Lieutenant Colonel

so what I'm thinking is, for now, try digging a hole and hiding in the ground; and later when the skeleton loses interest using ambush or avoiding it all together

>>857902
We should do this.
>>857893
We should also see if we can train our skills ourselves.
It seems our absorption skill is just too low.

>>857902
I dodged out of the way and dug down. Digging is really easy. I can just move things out of the way just enough to fill the space. I'm a natural! or the skill is great, but whatever. The skeleton hacked at the ground for a bit after I pulled my slime off him and then it suddenly stopped. I think I'm safe.

Training my skills would be good, but I've been absorbing all kinds of things and it's only gotten better one time after killing another slime. On the other hand I have gotten better at using the skills I have with practice. This isn't included in my skills, but I learned to focus my absorption on one place and that made it more useful. I also learned to manipulate slime from my encounter with the other slime.

Some of my skills I don't understand at all and could use some practice.

“Let’s get to work, then,” Mikail says as he loads a drone up with one of your C4 blocks. “Nab one of them not paying attention, and find out what’s going on.”

The tree of you nod in response, and Solomon and Jonas withdraw their suppressed sidearms, vaulting the broken chunk of wall into the resort.

Turning right immediately, and enormously conscious of how obnoxiously large Egor is when you’re trying to sneak around with him. Solomon points out a man behind the corner of a building, taking a leak. You move to grab him, but Egor catches on a branch in the unkempt yard, and the man turns around with a yelp, his pants dropping around his ankles. You and Hyun leap at him, tackling him to the ground before he can get off a proper shout.

It’s clear he doesn’t speak english when you start asking questions, but Solomon begins speaking in Arabic, and the man begins blathering nearly immediately.

After a few minutes of exchanges, the man seems to relax, and Hyun turns to speak to the rest of you.

“They have about twenty hostages,” he begins, “keeping them in a conference room on the fifteenth floor. VIP’s from different organizations are in the top floor penthouse. They’re limited to mostly small arms and personal explosives, like grenades. There are a few MG points in the hotel, and a handful of RPG’s held in an armory.

“What are they planning, and where,” you ask Hyun, and he barks a few words to the hostage, who responds immediately.

“Going to sacrifice them in a few hours, huge pool on the penthouse floor,” Hyun answers. “Any other questions,” he asks the three of you.

‘Not really,” Dove says as you and Jonas shake your heads.

“Good,” Solomon says as he draws a combat knife, and dives towards the man, driving the blade deep into his throat. He lets out his death rattle as his body goes limp.

>He had an AK on him. You can take it if you like, but it will be dropped if you switch to your glock or Egor.

"Well, we have two options," Solomon says. "We can hit the barracks for the bulk of their troops are," he suggests, pointing to the respective building, "or we can hit the bar where most of the officers are likely to be. Either way, they'll be hurting."

"Or we could split up and hit both," Jonas suggests. "That would really fuck things up, but we might end up in trouble."

“You’ve almost got ‘em, Gohan! Pull harder!” Goku shouts excitedly.

“U-uurrrwwaaahhh!” your son shouts, pulling on a fishing rod and landing a fish the size of a bear on the shore.

“You got it! Yaaaay!” Peppa cheers, quickly bonking it on the head with her Practice Power Pole. Izumi giggles gleefully, riding Icarus above the scene.

You sit back, smiling at the scene with Chi-chi and your brother. Raditz sits curiously. “Huh. Never took you folks for the type to go fishing.”

“So that IS something they do on other planets.” Chi-chi comments, smiling like she just won a bet.

“What, you think Earthling monopolize on such activities?” he asks with a quick laugh.

Hard to believe that not too long ago your lives were on the line defending Brench. Chuu Lee’s been trying to relax as much as she can, given her newfound fame. Vegeta was furious with her when he found out what happened... but he seems to have accepted his loss, begrudgingly. Tarble and his wife should be meeting with the Brench leaders by now to see what they can do about the soldiers attacking their respective planets, and with his new Scouter you gave him he should be contacting you all again soon enough.

Things are probably going to get dangerous again, you don’t need your Foresight to see that. But for right now? It’s best to relax while you can. You all have earned a bit of peace and quiet.

>A. Take up a fishing pole, give it a go!
>B. So, Acer, Chi-chi, I’ve been thinking about the kids and schooling...
>C. Say, Raditz, how have you and Tights been doing?

Let's rock.

[s]The original gods have completely exhausted themselves making Creation and either completely have ceased to exist, or are powerless incorporeal beings that potentially can be filled with power through prayer. However no one has any knowledge of them, since the Gods were careful in making their Creation cool. Magic will be a bit different in this civ quest but is doable. Requires breeding and being careful and time.

There is also Crafting that will be an option opened up a bit later when I feel we have the capability of it. It will be making unique/special versions of what we already can make generically[/s]

HAHA.

TIME FOR TRANSHUMANISM.

First things first: Traits and you being a Cyborg.

Thanks to the advancements made by Vinson Dynamics, you now have +2 to all of your stats. You now also have new trait: Cyborg.

[As a Cyborg you are stronger and faster than a normal human being or pilot. However, you are more affected by Arc weaponry and electricity]

The second thing is that you can now choose a single trait from this list.
>Cold Hearted: Thanks to your augmentation you don't exactly feel... loving anymore. You are immune to charm and more resistant to seduction.
>Eagle Eyes: Thanks to your training as a sniper, you are unusually perceptive of things.

Also, you get to choose one Cybernetic Augment that can give you another +2 to a stat, or a +1 to your Primary Skills. You can also write in if you want a split between two stats.

Next post will be about your time in the Academy.
