You are Smitty Werben, the versatile swordsman at the very left of the picture. You are accompanied by four other undead who are close friends and fellow warriors on the same journey you are: Escape the expanded Lordran after it merged the different worlds into a single continuity.

>Jagermanjensen (FUCK YOU BACON. GRAVELORDS RULE.)
He's the bro at the middle, your right-hand man with a mean left hook. He's the heavy hitter of the group and a devout Gravelord. Somehow managed to steal a Dark Hand.

>Bacon Bits (With a side of ranch dressing.)
The dude on the very right with the spiky helmet. He is a deft flanker who carries the sting of a hornet and is adept at close combat.

>Dragon Shit (RAWWWWRRR.)
The obvious draconic humanoid beside you and the group's wildcard. He wields a huge arsenal of random equipment and can breathe fire in a pinch.

>Greg (hey. i'm greg.)
Last one to be pointed out, at the middle-right. He is terse, soft-spoken and tanks like a castle. Big guy, even for you.

>(Tealah and Gurhen) Find an alternate entrance and sneak in

You ask Greg and Jagermanjensen to lift you, Tealah and Gurhen up onto the ledge on top of the doorway. Dragon Shit and Bacon Bits are told to barge in should anything go wrong. Afterwards, the three stand on the roof and quietly stride your way towards the nearest wall. The novices' Balder Sets give them some agility while you have to drop your Uchigatana and Grass Crest Shield to lessen the load. At a closer look, the windows are too small and gated to infiltrate. You look to your companions for options.

"Hey, you see that glass dome over there?" Tealah points out, "It seems broken, maybe we can drop down through it and give them a surprise attack."

"But there's a good balcony over here that is sure to lead through an entrance." Gurhen replies.

>(Tealah) Climb towards the broken canopy and enter through the roof.
>(Gurhen) Follow the balcony
>(Smitty Werben) Write in

Suddenly, you hear the noises of hundreds of animals all around you. You look around and find yourself in unfamiliar surroundings, but for some reason you cannot remember where you were before. You realize that you are standing in the middle of a very large forest. You can see nothing but trees in all directions.

It is a bright sunny day, but the sunlight is mostly blocked by the thick canopy of towering trees of all species. Little rays of sunlight filter down in odd places, giving the place a surrealistic mood.

Feeling a little scared now, but knowing that you can accomplish nothing by staying in one place, you decide to explore this strange place. You start walking along a natural path that you find, and after a few minutes you come to a small clearing where you can view the perfectly blue sky unobstructed. There seem to be several ways you could go from here.

“Don’t you remember? Having more than 1 waifu will ruin your laifu.”

A voice echoes in your head, speaking through your thoughts.
You’re surrounded by complete darkness, and all your senses are numb. You blink, but nothing changes. Are you… dead?

“Hey Res, it’ll be a shame if I sent you straight to hell, right? How about working for me?”

You try to say something, but nothing comes out.

“I knew you’d be excited! Let me just remove those pesky memories and send you off your way!”

A searing hot pain enters your head, slowly spreading through like liquid seeping into your brain. You cry out in pain, but you only hear silence.

W-what’s going on?

Everything’s moving so fast. It’s as if you’re falling…

Holy fuck! There is a new girl in class and she is cute as fuck. Her school uniform is totes too big on her though, and her straight bangs are so long they cover most of her eyes. What the fuck is wrong with people who don't go to the hairdresser on a regular basis? It's every woman's duty. The new girl shyly studies the floor as she starts introducing herself,
"My name is Maryse," she says, standing in front of the blackboard beside the teacher who has just welcomed her and encouraged her to start this ritual. "I'm from Osaka. My father is a famous mangaka. We relocated to Tokyo so he could direct his first anime. I hope you guys will be kind to me! Please welcome me warmly amongst yourselves!!" She bows so deeply her bangs are almost touching the floor.
"What about hobbies, Maryse? Do you have any hobbies?" the teacher asks. "It might help people with similar interests find you."
"Well, I enjoy knitting and literature. Especially 19th century English literature. My f-favorite w-writer is d-definitely Emily Brontë."
Oh God, what is she thinking? 19th century literature? Nobody cares about that stuff. And nobody says "definitely" unless they are like an adult or something. It's called "defo" for God's sake. The worst part is that she didn't say that she was into clothes and actors or something like that though. The teacher assures her she will be welcomed warmly and sends her to an empty window seat. Personally I'm not so sure. She seems like a nerd. But oh my God, how cute is she? Adooorawwwbs. I want to fucking fuck her brains out. I want to take her hard right there on her desk! Unfortunately it's math instead, which is defo the least sexy subject in the world.

After math class, during recess, my entourage of girls surrounds me as normal. We're talking about what happened in the latest episodes of our favorite j-dramas and whether Katori Shingo and Atsuko Maeda have really broken up, like the latest gossip magazines are saying. All of us would rather know about the new girl though. As the most popular girl in class it's my responsibility to take the lead here. Honestly I wouldn't rule her out this quickly, but I'm attracted to her and nobody must know of my lesbianism. That would be the end of my popularity! It's best to not take any chances and just make her a bully victim from the first moment. Since Midori tried killing herself last month, the girls have been reluctant about bullying her lately, so this is kind of perfect anyway. Any group, after all, needs a proper enemy for it to be stable over long periods of time.

>I need to bully the new girl, both so no one will know I'm attracted to her and find out about my lesbianism, and because my clique has been without an enemy for too long. How should I start bullying the new girl? There's about 10 minutes until next class starts.

Old thread, in autosage >>217495
Sorry for the slow update, I had things to do these days. I will try to wrap this up by today

“So…”
You try to strike up a conversation. Chit-chat has never been your forte, but the situation demands it.
“You… You’re Koko, right?”
“My, aren’t we the bold one”, she replies, smiling. You made a small mistake there, addressing her by first name. She doesn’t seem upset, but you decide it’s better to rectify that impression “Oh, excuse me. Everybody referred to you as Koko and I…”

“You didn’t quite catch my surname, I see. You can call me Kaga, while you’re Hikari, did I get that right?”
“You sure did, although I don’t mind being called by first name. Kaga, could I ask you something about Banri?”
“Uhm, sure. But don’t get the wrong idea, there’s not much I know about him. We’ve only been together for a short time”.

You curse your bad luck. Maybe the guy knew more? It’s too late for what ifs.
“I understand. In any case, have you noticed anything… strange about Banri, recently? Anything odd?”
She reacts by widening her eyes and clenching her hands, a telltale sign that you’ve hit the bullseye. “Why do you ask me this?”
“There’s something strange about him, and what’s more, it seems like you know something. I am here to help, I just want…”

Kaga stands up, interrupting your speech.
“I don’t care about what guys like you or Linda think is the best. If Banri has a problem, I will fix it! I am his girlfriend after all!”
With this, she leaves, indignant. It was a failure on all fronts, but you have a clue. An odd name, quite certainly foreign: Linda.

You stand up and head for a random corridor. You have nothing better to do than wandering through the campus like a haunting ghost.
‘That’s not too far from the truth, is it?’. Your stomach grumbles however, remind you that you’re definitely alive. You now regret turning down offers for food.

A girl dressed in a strange, punk-rock fashion suddenly appears in front of you. She’s not a ghost or anything of the sort, but there’s some hostility in her expression

>’Hm excuse me, where can I find Linda?’
>Ignore her and move on
>Write-in

Ishtara tries to make herself familiar with this new place, that her new subjects call Essukur Salmat.

The New Land of Mankind.

She tries to find out as much as possible from her few hundred subjects, to get an idea what this new world is like.

They describe the greater surrounding area as arid and mountainous , only the coast is really humid enough for agriculture.
Countless barbarian tribes live in this world, many of them, while not at our border, are still in our immediate vicinity.
These Barbarians have been initially mistaken for Demons due to their red tinted skin, but they turned out to be much more civilized, yet somehow even more primitive, than the Barbarians back at home.

There also appear to be a very dangerous race of Cow living in this world, which the locals call "Bison".
They're stronger than Hippos and share a similar level of aggression toward Humans, however, at times they appear to be almost timid, so they may be domesticable with our abilities.

If we can do it, we would have a permanent source of meat in this foreign land.

What will our Queen Ishtara do?

This is a thread created for the discussion of Quest threads, as well as sharing of advice and guidance for aspiring or current QM's.

Older thread: >>203023

Communication:
--IRC Channels--
[The Cabal] #QMC @ Rizon.net (slightly related to quests; enjoys worldbuilding and politics)
[The Hugbox] #ques/tg/enerals @ Rizon.net (barely related to quests; enjoys Larro quests and anime)
--Discord--
[/qsg/ Discord server] https://discord.gg/0zE5SDpEB4RQRNyY (mostly new questers, little advice to be had)
--Twitter--
[QuestMaster Directory] https://twitter.com/Eisenstern/lists/quest-runner-directory (post your twitter link in Spooky/Lively to get added; accounts that spam quest-unrelated messages may get removed)

Basic Advice for QMs:
>Read other quests. Learn from their mistakes.
>Use prompts. Don't remove prompts unless your players are creative with write-ins or they'll stop posting.
>Only give options you want to write. Yes, they will pick the joke and demand you run with it.
>Use a majority vote. Don't use last number of their post or highest roll to decide which option is picked.
>Rolling goes after the option is locked in. Players otherwise choose the best option that can't fail.
>Read your update out loud before you post it. Don't spend hours editing your update because of this.
>Chargen kills quests. Usually. Hide it or remove it until you git gud.
>Never demand your players name anything. They either disappear or post the worst suggestions.
>Don't feed the trolls. Shut down their stupid write-ins before they sink your quest.
>Don't meta-talk during the thread. Save anything not about clarifying the vote until the session's done.
>Don't fear failure. Experience helps more than any guide. Don't get too attached to your premises.
>Don't be afraid to stop. If you're not having fun, don't force yourself. Tell your players and try a different idea.
>Make a Twitter so people know when you're running; so your quest doesn't fizzle out for lack of votes. Link it at the start (and end) of your thread. Give at least several hours notice before running. Use UTC for times; not everyone lives in America.
>Don't be afraid to ask for advice in the IRCs/Discord. In there, you know who's giving the advice.
>Don't write in the 4chan reply window; you'll lose an update someday. Use a word processor that autosaves and back up your previous updates with a private pastebin or file upload.

Which parts of your QM's setting engage you and which ones turn you off?

Thread2: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/200563/

You knew just how resistant she was to change. You knew just how much of a bad idea it might be to change her. "I'll accept Fujiko for who she is." Fujiko already believes you have accepted her and you will do just that. "I want to get to know her more and I want to protect her." You made up your mind that night. You made up your mind that you'll protect Fujiko. "I'll protect her."

The next morning when you wake up, you still felt a bit under the weather. So much so that you decide to stay home. "Hmm maybe I'll ask Fujiko to take care of me again..." You whisper to yourself. However you can't make Fujiko skip school twice in a row. "Ah, I'll take care of myself this time."

You give her a text. You tell Fujiko that you are still sick and that she doesn't need to take care of you. "Then... I'll visit you later after school then! I'll take notes for you!" Your lips curl into a smile. Right away you could imagine Fujiko with a concerned face. You didn't even have to see her to know what kind of face she was making at that moment.

"Thanks Fujiko." Then, right after you text Fujiko you go back to sleep and you try and spend the rest of your day resting. You are only woken up when Fujiko visits you after school.

"Good afternoon Ryu!" Then, once again, she tries to nurse you back to health. She would stay with you until after dinner then she would go home. Then that night, you give Aya a call to keep her company. The two of you would just talk about little things, just enough for her not to think too much about her situation.

"Eh!? You are sick too?! Jeez... You should be more careful you know!"

"I know." You tell her.

"Is anybody taking care of you?"

"Yeah, Fujiko is."

"Ah, I see." Aya sighs. "Ah, anyway, my physical therapy is going to start soon... Will you... Will you be able to go with me? Umm.. To cheer me on?"

"Hmm, when is it?" You ask her.

"Ah, it's going to start this weekend."

[ ] "Hmm, I already have plans this weekend."

[ ] Try and squeeze in time for both Fujiko and Aya.
