>Figure out and deal with the Black Witch.

A few days ago, you took your friends to the world of Shamash, and agreed to help Prince Rikar with a small rebellion problem he had. But upon going to the problem location, you discovered another magic that rent a hole between worlds... and the Black Witch is at the heart of it. Rikar is heading out in two weeks, and it's up to you to get ready.

You'd already brought Cera into this- she promised to come help, and with her Arte, she might be able to do something about it- and you discovered that Archmage Sirius isn't available. Kristoph is... but he isn't a fighter. He'd supply you with some Mithril for golems and such, at the promise of getting some of the Black Witch's strange alchemical material.

Your knowledge demon buzzes in your head, running through calculations at each errant thought you have. The advanced version of the hermetic spell doesn't hurt nearly as much as the original did, but it's a lot more annoying. At each errant thought you have, the Demon takes that as a request for information and starts trying to calculate an answer- even when there isn't an answer.

You sigh and push your chair away from the desk where your computer sits. You can't find any combat evocations that are better than what you'd already refined, with the Knowledge Demon's help. You have some heavy hitters, but they're pretty mana-hungry despite their efficiency.

It's only been a few days since you returned home to Helios, and started planning for dealing with the Black Witch. Rathod's been busy at work designing a combat golem to work on minimal magic and covered in mithril, while Brun's been doing basically what you're doing- working on combat evocations.

You haven't heard from Nel since he promised to go try and figure out the astral magic behind the Black Witches' artificial soul cores. It worries you, especially with the inherent danger that comes with that kind of Astral Magic.

The Knowledge Demon helpfully informs you that there's a twenty percent chance that Nel is dead, and another ten percent that he's merely insane. Wonderful.

Welcome to Not so Glorious Quest! This is an anything can happen kind of "fun" adventure, where you, the player, will dictate the actions and decisions of Ilin, our main character, in a medieval fantasy-esque setting. Ilin will do anything you guys say, but her chances of success will depend on how well you describe her actions, if they make sense in context and if she doesn’t suck at it. Your main objective now is to become GLORIOUS. Have Fun!

Disclaimer: My English sucks, mature themes could appear, and this (for sure) will get even more stupid.

If you’re new and you don’t want to read every single post, I recommend reading the OP of last chapter’s archive, in that there is the summary of the first chapter (with a tl;dr). I’ll try my best to include every relevant piece of information as possible when necessary anyway, since it will help to refresh everyone’s memory.

Archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Not+so+glorious+quest

Summary of Chapter 2 (tl;dr didn’t fit…):

After recovering from the shock of killing Ukhlad ; you decided to hide in a crate near the port. In the meantime Emily somehow convinced the guards that you killed Ukhlad in self-defense (Kind of true) and you got the house for you two! You celebrated by going to circus’ show.

Next morning you went to meditate at the beach, where you found a dying man (Wardell). You with the help of a random citizen (Tinco) saved him doing dumb shenanigans! Then you found out he’s a pretty weird magician dude that lost his memory.

You and Tinco decided to help him (mainly Tinco) and you present them the only magician in town (Rufo) you knew, who at the beginning of chapter one wanted you in his room to do stuff(if you know what I’m saying). He didn’t want to help them unless you did some embarrassing stuff with him that you thought it would be lewd, but it wasn’t that bad, it was mainly whisper things to him in private while wearing a cute dress. You did that, and at some point a spirit possessed you. It was the spirit of the person you were impersonating (Mishi), she was Rufo’s mother figure and was almost a carbon copy of you. Rufo got sad and you did your best to console him. He was very grateful after the fact.

You and Tinco went home because you were exhausted. There you told Emily to stop being a pig as she was eating too much. She excused herself saying it was only leftovers from before and will stop later.

You went to sleep and in your dream Mishi appeared. She was trapped inside you from before because she is a dumb spirit. You two have a decent conversation about life matters, like prostitution, how to deal with Emily’s fatness, how to get swole and how the spirit world functions. You asked her why she looked so much like you, and she didn’t know. Then you woke up and Mishi talked to you. She’s still inside!

So let’s get to it!

Is it okay to pic up girls in a Dungeon Edition

After jumping into the nearest platforms, the room began changing all of a sudden. The furtherst away platforms began risong while the ones we were at began sinking into the water.

We made a quick decision, and ordered everyone back into the shore!

PAF!
UMPPH!
CRASH!
SPLASH!!

A invisible barrier had descended behind us without us noticing, or perhaps a magical wall had suddenly appeared? As we try to jump back the short 4 feet back to the shore, we crash in mid air with a invisible barrier, and fall into the monster-infested waters!

Kya was further ahead, so she had tried opening her wings and flying to shore. Thus she was spared from falling into the water.

>Quickly climb back unto the descending platform and jump to the next set while there's still any footing at all.

>Attack the nearest monster

>Help Honoria out of the water

Well, this is awkward as fuck…

You find yourself sitting in the same VTOL that dropped you off not an hour ago--/seriously/, only an /hour/ back? Your fire team occupies seats either side of you while semi-professional shooter and all-round dickbag Kilgore tries very hard to burn away your skull with his gaze alone. His mob are distinctly less hostile but no less wary for all that. Even your own lot seem on edge--the rookie in particular keeps sneaking glances at you and it’s all too clear that he’s pretty weirded out.

He’s far from the only one.

Over to your left, Julian clears his throat before asking, “So, uh… what exactly happened in there, boss? And what’s with the getup?”

This game has been a hell of a ride.

> [[ Underground: Averron Observatory – Overlook // Neutral Territory // PVP Disabled ]]

You stand on a balcony overlooking the Underground. The view is as brilliant as ever, but there is no eerie silence as usual, no faint whistling of subterranean winds. Instead, there are hundreds of voices, the echoes of a crowd aggregated far below you. Nameless and Identified, a diverse mix of classes and appearances, types of weapons you’ve yet to even see before now, are constantly arriving from the outer branches.

The Averron Observatory – created personally by yourself and a group of allies after a successful raid and a duel with a corrupted spellcaster – is the staging area for a war against the creatures that now infest the underground. Troglodytes and other hideous protohuman beasts, cast out from an ancient subterranean realm known as the Earthsea, have found their way upward into the branches of Averron. They infest the hunting grounds, and will soon threaten the civilizations you've worked to create.

Your goal? Find the seam from which they pour, and have the city’s best Artificers come up with a way to seal it for good. The mass of people below you has assembled in search of opportunity; in a city like Averron, and presumably in any other city, it’s easy to be just another ground-down face in the crowd, and to become complacent in the assumption that there’s no way to be important other than to be in a top guild or to be excessively lucky. Unrest, in fact, has resulted from the distribution of fame and the exclusivity of top guilds.

Thus, for many of the people down there, this is more than a shot at experience and loot: it’s a chance to earn recognition and prestige on a battlefield of Averron’s finest.

“Alright, everybody listen up!” Griselda stands atop the M4A3E8 Sherman, addressing you all. “Tomorrow is our exhibition match with Gertrude.” Everyone cheers and applauds, apparently excited at the prospect of facing Gertrude Pool herself. You’re a little skeptical if you’re honest. “But today, we’ll be getting to know a few of our partners from across the ocean, St. Gloriana and Kursk Girls Boarding School. Allow me to introduce Rosehip and Orange Pekoe!” The redcoated girls bow to you all, and everyone politely applauds them for arriving to help the team. “Rosehip drives a Crusader III tank, and Orange Pekoe a Churchill VII.”

“What about ZES?” asks Serafina.

“They aren’t participating,” says Griselda. “Anyway, I want everyone to introduce yourselves. We’ll be setting up a bit of an exhibition fair today around dinner time, so everybody keep yourselves cool and limber.”

Iris is the first to properly introduce herself. “Iris Blackbourne.” She curtsies properly to a bemused Rosehip. “I see you are the Commander of St. Gloriana with Darjeeling’s graduation.”

“Mmmm…” Rosehip grabs Orange Pekoe’s shoulder. “Actually, we are co-commander. I defer to Miss Orange Pekoe however on orders! She is the brains and I am the mighty brawn of St. Gloriana!” She looks down at Iris’ tea. “Oooh, is that black tea?” Iris nods. “Ha! Can I have some!?”

Iris smiles a little. She motions one of her club members to pour her some tea. Rosehip immediately downs the entire thing in one go. “HAAAA! That’s amazing!” Rosehip exclaims.

Iris stares at Rosehip. Yeah, she’s not going to have a great day.

Regardless, neither are you, you suppose. Friday seems like it’ll be busy.

Welcome to A Song of Storm Throughout the Centuries: House Deschain Quest. Unlike most A Song of Ice and Fire Quests, this one won't take place (hopefully) in any single point in time. but throughout the course of Westros History starting with the reign of Aegon the Unlikely to the War of Five Kings. During it you will guide both your chart the fortunes of your House and perhaps the Seven Kingdoms.

House Deschain is a premade house located in the middle of Dornish Marches. At the beginning of this quest, an uneasy and unpopular peace has been forced on the Marcher Lords by the deceased King Baelor Targaryen, one championed by Prince Daeron II but also being plotted to be brought to an end by King Aegon IV. You will be starting as Ser Wil Deschain, having just earned his knighthood and is to attend a tourney at King's Landing. While under the impression that Aegon IV will announce the successful start of yet another Dornish invasion, he is about to receive tragic news.

If you’ve played the one of the dozens ASoIaF Quests you know the drill. I will be using the Game of Thrones version, as well as a few of the expansions like OOSP and a few house rules which started in other Quests and to be continued with my own eventually. Any questions or concerns on how things are being done, feel free to bring up. This is my first Quest and I'm learning the ropes as well.

Everything feels cold...wrong even. There's no noise, no one's talking or doing much of anything besides looking down Thunder's broken form, where Simon had gingerly left it on the table of the hotel lobby.

Besides Blues hysterical and frantic crying. I can barely stomach standing around right now, I can feel my heart breaking with every new panicked and scared noise she makes as she looks down at her older brother. Her emotions meld into mine, and I just feel...weak like when I was in my old body. I don't feel good, I want to throw up, cry and huddle in a corner somewhere until everything just goes away.

Sam is sitting in the corner, covering his eyes so no one can see him crying. Lucy is sitting on my shoulder, holding me I guess to try and make sure I don't break down like our adopted little sister is. Minor just watches, like she isn't sure if this is real or a nightmare, her big purple eyes filled with sadness and tears. Smiley has her mask off and is sitting against the table looking forlorn, covering her ears with her hands so she doesn't have to hear Blue break down. Berry is Praying, clasping her hands together as she mummers and sniffles between each drifting chant.

Poi pocks the old hiver's stiff arm curiously, like she's trying to wake him up and doesn't quite get...what exactly is going on with him. Bailey is holding Toora to her chest so she doesn't have to look at the crumpled mass of chitin and broken bones lying on the table in front of us.

I manage to force my sorrow away enough to actually look at my...my now dead friend.

He seems...different, withered somehow. His face is coated in dried blood, his cracked lips stretched into a smile under his blank, foggy orange eyes. His nose is shattered, as is the chitin helmet that grew around his face like a knights helmet. The rest of his chitin is buckled and bent, like he's been smacked by a hammer or ran over by a train. He limbs...are, well they're so broken they look more like noodles than anything else now.

His feet are practically skinned from scratches and road rash. And as I put my hand over his heart, those mantis like blades under his wrists are shattered.

Blue falls over him, hugging his head to her chest as her thoughts enter mine. Fear, confusion, heart wrenching grief, loneliness, anger...It hurts.

"Well...he fought pretty fucking well" Sam says clearing up the silence "I managed to catch his uh...last moment I guess, I swear he looked like a star lil blue, never seen anything that bright when he..well when he did whatever the fuck it was he did there at the end"

Blue doesn't respond and just cradels her older brothers head as little green walks up to me.

"You know the way of our kind, my queen" He chatters "He's nothing but meat now"

You and Lulu continue "dueling" for at least an hour. You're not sure when they arrived, but a small crowd has gathered in the courtyard. Most of them are the ex-prisoners, but there's also Derrick and Marybell.

The crowd hasn't really bothered you. You've been having too much fun getting the hang of guarding with your soul.

Lulu releases another burst of water, and you immediately start charging your defense. But this time, when the time to release it comes, it... doesn't.

The water hits you in the chest, soaking your shirt and knocking you over the sword behind you.

"Huh?" Lulu asks. You hear her and a few other people walking over. "You looked like you were pretty spot on there, what happened?"

You sit up and swipe your wet hair back. "I dunno. It felt like it was charging, but when I tried to release it it just didn't" You say. "Is that normal?"
"Ahh..." Lulu says. "You're sputtering since you've used too much soul. Which makes now a good time to stop"
"Last time I just passed out" You say. "Why is it different this time?"

"Last time it was just the blade" Derrick says. He offers you a hand up, which you accept. "Spells are different"
"Oh..." You say.

Another pair of hands offers you a towel, which you take as you follow the hands up to the person they belong to.

"Hello again" You say, before you wipe your face off.
"Good evening" The arachnid from the prison replies. "You looked like you could use that"
"Thanks" You say.

Far off, nestled in an otherwise small Japanese town lies the Dark Gate Academy. An institution of tremendous size, the Academy holds a long kept secret. Unknown to the outside world, this unseemly town is home to a tear in our reality. A gate between our world and a bizarre dimension known as the Darkworld. The inhabitants of this hellish world breach this gate and attempt to flood into our reality and spread throughout the world on a regular basis. However, the Dark Gate Academy is home to students of truly extraordinary abilities. The ability to sense the presence of these evil Darkworld creatures, and defeat them in combat, sending them back through the gate.

They cannot close the rift between our world and the Darkworld, but the students and staff of Dark Gate Academy have dedicated their lives to using their amazing powers to hold back the darkness that plagues our world, even if it costs them their lives. They have risen up to the challenge and in secret have become great heroic defenders of the world as we know it.

For many years, Dark Gate Academy has held back the forces of the Darkworld, kept this unspeakable evil contained within their walls. But a dark cloud approaches, and times are about to change. A new chapter in the tale of Dark Gate Academy is about to begin.
