"I must."

"The part of me that's still inside."
Welcome to Heavens Tower, how high will you climb?
The premise:
/mlp/ posters are randomly found unconscious by Climbers inside a crazy magical tower. They're evacuated to Prisma, the town built at the foot of the gigantic tower, where adventurers aka "climbers" make a living out of selling stuff they found inside the tower, risking their lives through the many floors filled with monsters, magic and mystery.
It is now your choice to decide what you'll do with that new life: You can live as an ordinary citizen in the town, or join a group and go for expeditions inside the tower.
Create your character, choose a role, buy weapons and gear: This game is supported by Nina-Chan, a bot written entirely for this very purpose, it is both a game master assistant and a database, to ensure Quests are both a breeze to lead and play!
Feel creative? Want to draw, write, GM or just play? Heaven's Tower continues!

I like the style
Well, we managed to survive the quest.
I thank everyone for bearing with me. I hope everyone had a good time and that killing the boss gave you a thrill.
>>27247426
Here's the map, things have changed in the midst of writing to tender better to the story.
Bump for the road
part two of my quest should happen today if everyone is there
Louffy's two part quest saw its players rewarded with XP, here's the new XP ranking for active players.

World building time.
We know a little bit about the area so far. The town is dwarfed by the tower and has several amenities to travelers passing through and climbers. The area is also considered neutral by all countries in the world. Perfect for diplomacy and/or gunrunning. There's enough trade to keep the townsfolk happy, and the rains probably replenish the aquifer beneath the town.
Beyond the massive white tower and town, in the dusty reddened clay area contains an abandoned mine. That's inhabited by things that eat ponies. If you dig deep enough. Joy.
Then there's the basilisks and fungal abominations about ten levels deep.
Finally, in our current Creation lies the W̶i̶l̶d̶ Myullen Woods. Probably not as dangerous as the Everfree because it doesn't contain an isolationist deer kingdom like the comic. Probably because the ghosts of this equine Aokigahara keep them away. With its medicinal plants making up the ingredients for the healing potions that are needed on a constant basis, at least some of the area is kept an eye on. Until the guards wind up dead. And beware of that rumored centaur wizard that wants to drain unicorns of their magic. Bad juju.

Making the exterior a giant plain white pillar seems lazy now. It also needs some roosts for the pegasai to lay their eggs.

Soon there will be power. There will be more leveling! I demand OP weapons!

and then Heaven's Tower became Precure.
Yol proved to be a very convenient yet maybe a tad insensitive mare. Yol sees an issue, Yol fixes the issue, a few broken bones aren't one of them.

>party had to be saved by an NPC
Is this the first total wipe in our adventures?
>>27255555
Confirmed
>>27255555
quads can't stop you from being wrong
Basically someone wanted to take control of the Last Wish so they made the NPC that we've never seen before, but owns the place, die via suicide/slenderman
Then all hell broke loose and two of us ended up shooting random ponies and then Yol came in and OHKO'd a bitch and Duskie realized all this shit was NC anyways for... A lot of reasons
>>27255555
Respectable quints
>>27255693
>all this dumb shit
Good on Duskie for saying no.
That's worse than the plot of Batman v Superman.
>>27256053
It's more a matter of "You dan't use a NPC/Pandora to justify choices and tropes that are only your decision to avoid any legitimate consequency" than a personnal choice based on the validity of said choices. To keep it short: don't godmode.
>>27255693
>Then all hell broke loose and two of us ended up shooting random ponies
wait, is this about that tavernkeeper who was found dead? how do you go from invetigation ponies to shooting standoff?
>>27257383
Through magic mind control bullshit of course!
>>27257497
no. the fags that went along with this should be deported.

If you're not discussing the game, can you at least discuss how Rarity is best pony?

The magic hat and cape combo is so last year. You need to upgrade your horse.

Thank you for proving my point that those who like Trixie are uncouth. I pray only one day you see that the best pony is Rarity and you realize the error of your ways.
>>27262208

it's not even choice of horse anymore, you're just a snot-nosed PRUDE!
>>27262208
best pony is Derpy. you're welcome.
>>27262246
I will concede the point that Derpy is best background pony.
>>27262217
>still name calling.
Now that's just being rude.
~~Throughout your day as you either trot around the dusty and quaint pony filled roads of Prisma you come across several colorful flags, bundles of balloons and colorful striped stands filled with prizes, sweets and homemade foods and snacks - all kinds of carnival-like decorations being hung across the roofs and over the streets all around town. Especially around the round-about that goes all around the massive tower, its support beams and curved corners covered by decorations. Little marshmallow natives of every color and color combination possible, horned, winged and non, flocking gleefully to the local tailors, coming out of them with odd festive looking masks to hide their faces, and frilly dresses of a multitude of colors! But, "Why?" you ask yourself...?
It doesn't take long to find out. Either by stumbling across the many notices that have been stuck into the Fallen Climber's notice board and across the entire street adjacent, or by asking, you find out that there is some kind of festivity looming for all of tomorrow!~~
>>27262787 continuation
"THE GRAND CLIMBER ARRIVAL FESTIVAL!"
was written in a blaring red capitalized fancy cursive, with a very, very well done (pic related) styling the middle of the sheet
"Dear climbers, Fillies and gentlecolts.
Tomorrow, (May 4th), is once again the very special day in which we celebrate the anniversary of the very first arrival of our new friends: The Climbers, who everyday risk their lives in the Heaven's Tower and going where nopony has gone before in our stead in the search of answers and adventure; so that, one day, they may find their way home. Until then however, we can only hope that our hospitality, gratefulness and this town-wide party will be enough to give them that glimmer of hope they need to continue fighting!
everypony who participates in the festival is asked to wear body body covering dresses of a variety of colors and lenghts with masks - any kind from (funny to spooky) and color - to signify that, even though their real identities were taken away, it's whats inside that matters.
Free food and sweets will be served at the stands the Hall will set up around the tower and near the town hall alongside many games to challenge your friends!
Festival officially starting at 1 AM of tomorrow and ending in that same time for the day after. Main Event starts at 16:00 PT at Prisma's Heavens tower."
>>27262799
>tfw your horse hasn't got the money for clothes
I'm s-sure that the m-mud is co-colorful, r-right?
I see no way that the slice of life story can possibly go wrong.
No way at all with people from 4chan
On a board about equine cartoons
When normies are working
And people are still VAC banned from TF2
>>27262799
how long will it take until someone starts to shoot people again?
>>27265209
I will shoot them dead with my fashion sense.
Carnival style
Party time.
>No matter where you look, Prisma looks special today: most ponies wear masks and some wear costumes too, garlands are everywhere, and you can hear people singing in a tongue you've never heard before, jolly songs, sad songs, it's some paradox that makes you feel homesick a bit and yet soothes your heart at the same time. Ponies are talking, having fun, dancing in the streets. Prisma shows you a face you've never seen before. Even Pandora's entrance is decorated, and fillies and colts are having mock battles in front of it under the benevolent eyes of the makes guards and their monster masks.
>You can go and see the different stalls, there's cotton candy, games and generally folks talking every where. Those of you who don't have masks can come and pick one in those stalls, there's a lot to choose from, surely you'll find something you like. The mare who sits at the mask stands looks vaguely familiar, but you can't tell who it is with that strawberry shaped mask on her face, it has eyes and a mouth, and it looks bored.
>All of a sudden explosion sounds startle you! A few fireworks detonated, a ballet you'd never imagine started up in the sky! Magic fireworks seem to be a thing here, you can see colorful figures moving and dancing, fighting and dying during the few seconds they remain ignited. Oh! this one looks like a sword fighter piercing through a slime!
>Whenever citizens meet costumes and masks they didn't see yet, the stop and bow a bit, repeating the same words to one another "Lost not to all". It is very clear and obvious how and why this tradition took place, you're suddently realising how much this makes sense and was necessary for Prisma, hopefully you'll feel home more than you've been since your arrival today.
>carnival
>not stuffing ponies into pillow cases
One job OP.

I feel like I should leave.
Today we find out that Charter is the main character of HT. Duskie is the spiritual and experienced guide. second is Louffy, the tank bro cliche. WhiteLight is the the over excited girl that leaps in to battle. Booze is the shady guy, wearing the cloak, smoking at the street lamp. Lights is the partner to whitelight, the guy that discuss's manga with her. Direct_Current is the background fore ground character. Marw is the waitress helping the warriors after the battle cliche.
I'd add more, but i don't really know any other characters.
>>27274712
i feel like you should fix your mistakes and continue roleplaying because nobody will care about your mistakes if you correct yourselfthen again that's what they told Sigmund Freud and look where that went
>>27274712
Nah mate, Stay. We need more horses.
It'll be bare with out you.
>>27274935
Pic says all.
>>27274712
why?
You did something a bit weird IC and we worked with that, the problem was "solved". The rest is all about IC and how you make your character deal with what happened. From my point of view as long as no fundamental principle of the game was compromised the RP is valid and makes for interesting situations.
So no you're welcome like everyone else.
Pony is best pony and should join a fight club.
Discuss.
Pony is stronk.
We've been at this for about a month, guys, and we aren't dead!
>>27280970
Nope we aren't, we inf act have more players and people connected to the IRC than ever, more than 10 round the clock [not including me nor nina] and above 20 at our best.
we have 27 active sheets [meaning no banned, dead or disabled characters (due to rerolls)]
at the moment [9:44 PT] most of us are asleep and you can see on the pic how long ago people were active [talked, connected ot pretty much showed they were alive] at this very moment. those who have 126 days+ of inactivity have in fact not connected since the timestamps implementation [I set 120 days ago as the default time]. So we can say we're pretty active for a brand new community.
Piper is likely not coming back [which isn't a problem given her attitude imo] but I let her sheet open as she was never banned.
Artovos came in the beginning and never came back for unknown reason.
Tonic was never very active even on 4cannon so I assume it's just normal for her.
Cinnamon dust is shying away a bit because of an IC incident although I'm sure she didn't leave.
Fireandhooves is a mystery, he used to be very active, despite his unique behavior, I hope nothing wrong happened to him.
Gulla made a sheet and didn't come back since.
Mary is busy with work.
The rest is here and active on a daily basis. And that's still a solid base.
Thanks for your participation. [side note: we're not trying to become huge anyways, just having an active and sound playerbase is more than enough regarding my personnal goal for HT.]
