In front of you is an iron train car, roofed with light wood. Unfortunately, it's not doing what it should be doing - going from A to B. That's why you're here - to find the problem, solve it and hopefully get this car running again. Glancing around, the flat expanse of sun-bleached yellow-white sand which stretches out to the horizon reminds you eloquently that this is going to have to be a solo job. The car looks to have slipped off a rail of the long train-track which flows across this land, diverging and reforming like a great iron river. You'd spotted it from the top of the tall radio tower which forms your base of operation - it was sitting still on the track with not a person in sight. Flicking on the transmitter, you'd requested that it make a radio check-in, but none had come. So you'd walked out here yourself, all alone - a work party of one. But not unaided - at your belt hang a set of tools, some medicine, a flask of water and two specialised weapons: a shortsword and a rifle, fully loaded.
This is probably just a routine job, but it could be a trap, a ploy by bandits to lure you in.
[Reasonable write-ins are always welcome.]
>Get straight to work. That car needs to be put back on rails and moving again ASAP. No time for bullshit.
>A little time spent of caution could easily save your life. There could be anything in or around that car - don't rush in like an idiot.

Best have a look around before brushing your feet on the welcome mat, you figure.
You take a closer look at the car. It bears the name, in orange letters: Gussilli's Workshop, Limonetto. Labelling a carriage with a company name is both wise and risky on the desert railway: it helps to establish legal ownership of cargo, but it also alerts bandits to a car's contents. And you're pretty sure there's some corrupt rail overseers who'd steal enough stuff from ' Gusilli's Workshop ' to fill a whole gallery, if they could. But who's here to attend?
You study the sand carefully for any unusual bumps in the sand which might be hiding a caltrop or a mine, but you don't find anything. This place looks to be safer than a childrens' playground.
That's when you hear a groan from inside the train car. Some bastard's in there! Doesn't sound like he's having fun, though.
>Fire your gun into the air and shout "Show yourself, you yellow-bellied sandmite! Come out here with your hands up!"
>Try to sneak closer quietly.
>"Is someone in there? Are you hurt?"

You are a trader having only recently inherited your fathers farm in the independent town of Kindport.
The only issue is that your farm doesn't exactly have anything growing in it any longer due to long periods of drought and a few harsh winters. Your family has been living off of loans for the longest time now, and you owe a total of 5000 caps to a wealthy NCR Rancher by the name of Richard Clamit.
News of your father's debt is likely to spread soon enough, and you only have 300 Caps to your name. Rather it be to escape this loan or finding a way to pay it back, you've decided you need to run from Kindport and make your way in The Wasteland as a true merchant.
The only issue now is finding a few traveling partners and managing what kind of caravan you'll be riding on.
First let's decide out mode of transportation:
>A. Salvaged Boat
>B. Pack Brahman
>>355077
C. Deathclaw that we've had as a pet since birth. He will always be our friend and protector. Unfortunately, he also scares off potential customers.

Chapter Directory: http://pastebin.com/sgnYBisDWelcome /qst/-readers to Scrumptious Calem and Kuudere Serena's Tubular Voyage, a ridiculously wacky over-the-top monster-of-the-week reinterpretation of the plot of Pokemon X and Y! This story has just moved from /vp/ after being hosted there since Oct. 2013, if you're new and this is your first time with us, please consider catching up with the dropbox archives in the Chapter Directory for the latest on our lore and inside jokes or sit down and enjoy the ride with little-to-no context whatsoever! Either way, you're in for a show!
Story interactivity is simple: readers will frequently be given ABC-style choices over several intervals in the thread, the choice with the most votes wins and progresses the chapter. Ties are randomized and players are notoriously penalized for simultaneously voting for more than one choice unless otherwise stated. Sometimes, the choice will be styled as a "fill-in-the-blank", and you will be tasked with thinking of the ideal scenario for the story to continue ("What do you do next?"). The response that garners the most reader-support often has the best chance of winning. Now enough explanations, I've stalled this long enough, any longer and Gen VII will have come out, let's get right down to it! Enjoy!Salandit is cool.

"Ahh, technology is so amazing!" says the resident overweight technology fanatic as he paces up down the humble road. "With the power of science, I don't even need real Pokemon anymore! I can just catch 'em all on my mobile device! Wow!"
"Hehehe, tedious battling? Player versus player competitive combat? Trading? Forget it! With the power of technology, you can just catch Pokemon directly now! Talk about streamlining! No more needless violence, pacifists everywhere agree—this is the future of Pokemon!"
>>354110
"It just blows my mind! How do they do it?! It's nothing but fresh innovation after innovation! What's more, the gameplay gives me the perfect excuse to go outside—so it promotes EXERCISE! I can go to places I would have never gone to otherwise, meet and annoy new people, loiter in places I shouldn't loiter, get mugged in places I've never been mugged before! The possibilities are endless! And with microtransactions this inexpensive, wowie, you'd be a sucker not to buy!"

Welcome to Frost Bite, a quest about how not to freeze in the sub arctic world.
Before we begin we need to build our character.
Firstly, is our character:
>Male
>Female
>>362953
Male
Starting a little late, eh?
>>362953
>>Female
At the side of the great grey Windriver Mountains, behind a dark and little-explored forest of pine, stand two marble pillars, their tops obscured by a growth of vegetation. Vines climb over their surface, and at their bases are small pieces of rubble. Between them grows a small tree which blocks your view of the doorway, which opens on to a staircase that descends down into the earth. It is quiet and a chill breeze rushes over you from the mountains.
>What is your sex and class, adventurers?
>>361275
Any gender, it's no one's business what's in our pants anyways, we're too high class to fornicate with them anyways.
>>361328
We felt like wearing our finest dress today. So technically we aren't wearing pants, but still, we don't mind being called she or he or it. We are high class, and we don't mind.
Solving this clue will only be the beginning of a much bigger mystery that will prove to be difficult for the average person. Good Luck.
Mr. 3
>January 1 2017 a true mystery will begin. Follow me @TheHiddenClues
You faggots owe me 10 minutes
>>354847
>January 1, 2017
Op, do you seriously expect anyone to keep track of this crap?
>>355358
Yes, because I will.
Disclaimer:
Mods, the 3-thread rule should include the ability for an OP to request that old threads be removed from the catalog. One of my players was banned because we wanted to sage the old threads away. /qst/ isn't making enough new threads and my first quest thread is still standing. Please discuss anything relevant to this rather than just deleting threads and banning posters, give us a warning.
With that somber business dealt with, let the tale of the tribe of Rog continue.
A summary of past threads:
>The Old Gods are gone, our shamans' magic along with them
>We settled by the coast and developed our copper-age civilization into the bronze age, slaying a Water Dragon, peacefully annexing a goblin mining village and accepting in a warband of demons as settlers
>Racial tensions have not subsided, however. From the east a priest has come, bringing the words of his Pantheon of New Gods, whose power he has displayed before us through magic
>That priest offers knowledge, power and the Gods' blessings to the tribe if they follow the ways of the Gods
>However, that includes forbidding our demons from spreading their demonblood and converting mortals to demonhood
>A war is brewing over the discord among the factions within our tribe
TO ALL FACTIONS
Before the war itself begins, submit a description of your faction and its Assets and declare yourself to be either Pro-Pantheon, Pro-Demon or Neutral.
Use this time for diplomacy - try to get factions to join your bloc and such.
Discuss military strategies at your own peril! I am privately in contact with the leaders of the two blocs and they have told me their plans for the war itself. Were those plans to be leaked to the other side, a counter-strategy could be developed! That is why when the war begins, I won't openly reveal either of the sides' plans when the turn has come in the name of keeping military secrets.
Prepare yourselves for a wild ride! One side will be victorious and another will lose - such is the nature of war. If your faction ends up being destroyed in this war, you can always start a new one after it is over.
Our civilization's stats
Year 73, early Spring
>>Population:6700 humans, 750 goblins, 620 demons
>>Food production:7/10
>>Food stockpiles:7/10
>>Resources:8/10
>>Morale:5/10
>>Buildings: wood and straw houses,stone and brick houses, sheep pens, wells,stone walls,wooden walls, granary, great forge,dirt roads, docks, barracks, arena
>>Economy:advancing fishing,medium agriculture,medium husbandry,improving textiles, improving crafts,bronze, horses, silver, Dragonmarks, trade
>>Culture: festivals, writing on stone, slew a dragon, improving arts, Lawstone
>>Military:Bronze-armed militia, chariots, demon warband(250 expert warriors), 180 hoplites
>>Navy:6 biremes, many smaller boats
Again, I repeat - not a good idea to reveal your side's war strategies right now, but you can use this time for diplomacy, give your demands etc.
Writing the scenes now.

You control the great nation of Valornia, a state in a world filled with nothing but Pokemon. You make the decisions on what will be done either politically, technically, militarily, socially, secretly or financially- as long as there is an open slot for an action, it will be done.
Quick Summary:
- Valornia marches through Arthunbrook to Daberly where the two armies separate to form a large pincer movement to take the north and south of Zureis.
- Due to some sabotage, Valornia had gotten the Zureis alliance to crumble. Most of their allies peacing out on neutral terms, allowing the south shore nations to reinforce when needed.
- Misdreavus have been civilized

Your armies have finally split apart and are in two different provinces completely.Rolling for encounter. 35% for both provinces.

Whoa, when did we get so Hearts of Iron?

The map is just for reference. The only arrows that you need to worry about are the yellow and green. All the others are Valornian ally states, Kalisia, Muinal Knights, Albrinn and Nordhalen. I control these armies. You may make changes to the plan but with a vote.
Can't have someone fucking it all whenever they want can we?I play a lot of HOI so a map like this helps keep everything in order. Reality is that the armies are just going province to province normally.
I am god, and I'd like you to help this poor soul.

The world was once ours and we shared it equally. The forest was our domain and it stretched between all four corners of the world. We lived in peace and upheld the balance. There was death, but no suffering. It was all part of the circle of life. However, all that changed when the creatures with the Red Flower came to this world. Humans, the Guardians called them. They came in the night and burned down our forests, killed our guardians, raped and pillaged our lands. There was no end to their crusade against us and no reason behind their cruelty.
We, the creatures of the forest, were brought close to extinction before our salvation came: The World Tree, the center and the roots of our Forest that once spanned the world, called us all back to it. Within its borders the last Guardian, the Great Horned Owl Kafuu, placed three barrier spells that would keep the Red Flower out and whoever wielded it. Before he fell into a deep slumber from which there would be no awakening, he placed the new role of Guardianship upon the red-eyed Awoo Race. They would guard this new forest realm behind walls of magic until the end of time.
After three centuries of peace, the first of the three barriers were broken and we received a grim reminder that the Humans would not stop until all Creatures of the Forest lay dead.
You are Lin, a 17 year old Awoo girl who dreams of becoming the Strongest Guardian and assuming the mantle of the Hero that will save the Forest Realm and all those who live beneath the World Tree!

“He volunteered to join Team 2 as the replacement of Kun and he has been approved by representatives from both the Realm Guardians and the Tree Guardians to be the one to keep an eye on Raubtier.” Rushi explains himself to Mei’s irritated outburst.
“So I’m the one holding the leash.” Chao’s arrogant voice is followed by a confidant smirk, almost forcing you to punch him hard enough to make him puke his guts out like the Oni did yesterday. However, you won’t. Not in front of these officers. Your relation with them is bad enough as is. You need to prove yourself useful, not a problem.
I already did that by killing the Grim Knight and making the ‘Father’ flee with its tail between its legs. What more do they want from me!?
“Before we start with the mission debriefing, is there anything else? I don’t tolerate interruptions.” Rushi’s gaze wanders across the room, moving from one member of Team 2 to the next. Mei, Jin, Heim, and Chao don’t seem overly inclined to open their mouths and postpone the inevitable any further.

Welcome to HGQ!
Fast clarification on the map!
The Star = Sensei's lake.
The Hole = The Crater
The Gravestone = Gran Gran's crushed hill.
The point of Interest/The upside down triangle = Lin's current position.
There's an unknown amount of km inside each hex that makes up the lay of the land.
I can explain any other symbols that seems out of place as well if anyone asks.

>>You have nothing to ask/say.
As it nears sunset, you stand next to the old, frail, and almost dead tribe leader. You know that he has come down with some sort of curse from the gods, and as he speaks, he seems to be getting worse as the sun lowers behind you.
"I am afraid that I am passing along to the other plains. The plain where only the astral ones lie. As I have been leader of this great tribe for many passings of the sun and moon, I believe that you all know that it is my responsibility to protect and guide all of you. And now, I must give this responsibility to my own kin."
He jesters to you, an able bodied tribe member, known for assisting when assistance is needed, and for passing judgement when their father is unable. You knew that you would be given the staff which grants control over the tribe. But, as you have just reached maturity in the tribe, you feel as though you shouldn't have been chosen. Surely your older brother or sister should've been chosen instead?
You stare blankly at the crowd of tribe members. 13 females, 17 males, 10 children. Surely one of these other members would be more fit to rule?
Never the less, as the sun fully sets, and as the moon rises in front of you, your father, and tribe leader, signals for the ritual to begin. Slowly, starting with the men, then the women, a pile of wood slowly grows in front of you.
Then, the children walk forward, and gently pour bowls full of animal fats, and herbs that are known to emit a fine smelling odor when burned.
Finally, you slowly walk forward, and strike pieces of flint together, creating a spark. The spark lights the pile of wood on fire, and you have to take a step back, to avoid being burned yourself. After all, this fire isn't for you.
Your father bellows out into the night sky, "Astral gods, those of which reside on a higher plain than our own, I hope you accept this sacrifice, in your names."
You then watch as your father slowly walks into the fire. You stand there, forcing yourself to not cry, and to not pull him out, as he screams loudly as the flames ingulf him. You then tell the tribe to return to their homes. The ritual is complete.

You are VAPOR, sent to the desert planet of KHEPRI in the search of water for your reclusive civilization. After being saved by Kheprite locals, BUREL and LORA, you now head to Burel's home. Unfortunately, you find yourselves attacked by a small group of RAIDERS.

Deciding you can't shoot either of your targets, you do the next sensible thing. Putting Burel's LASER NAGANT away, you leap towards the RAIDER BUGGY DRIVER. The distance between Burel's hovertruck and the RAIDER BUGGY was short enough for you to make the jump and kick the RAIDER BUGGY DRIVER on the side of his head, knocking him out. However, your landing has made you sit awkwardly on the driver's seat and lose control of the buggy, dropping behind Burel's hovertruck and into the RAIDER HOVERTRUCK, making its GUNNER lose a bit of balance and stop firing momentarily.
You see the situation and think to yourself "This it it! I can take down these two guys now!" You take the gun of the unconscious RAIDER BUGGY DRIVER and set your helmet into COMBAT MODE, which is almost the same as RECON MODE in function (and visuals) but targets the enemies and shows how much of a chance you have of hitting them. Both the RAIDER HOVERTRUCK GUNNER and DRIVER have an 80 and 75% chance to get hit, respectively. But before you can pull the trigger, you visor has not targeted an ARTILLERY SHELL coming from the sky, most likely launched by the RAIDER HALFTRACK who is at the very back.
The ARTILLERY SHELL has a 30% chance to be hit, but its chance slowly increases as it descends to your location. And you have only one magazine in your gun, which may not be enough to take out all your targets. You try to desperately think of a plan.
>Fire at the RAIDER HOVERTRUCK GUNNER AND DRIVER, hopefully getting out of the way of the ARTILLERY SHELL at the last second.
>Fire at the ARTILLERY SHELL and think of another way to deal with the RAIDERS behind you.

Hello and welcome back to Mortal Kombat Konquest! Today, we'll be continuing our adventure with the new generation of Lin Kuei: Tundra, Frost, and Vapor.
Tundra: Zian, the son of the legendary warrior and Earthrealm defender, Kuai Liang, AKA Sub-Zero. A well meaning, if somewhat sheltered and naive, young warrior. He has been sent on a quest to Outworld, but this was interrupted by the untimely invasion of Onaga.
Frost: An orphan taken in by Sub-Zero as an apprentice nearly fifteen years ago, she was frozen solid when she attempted to take the Dragon Medallion for herself. Now awake once more, she has been given a second chance by the Grandmaster to redeem herself.
Vapor: Born of the union between the enenra known as Tomas Vrbada, AKA Smoke, and the edenian Jade, Andela (Codename Vapor) is a shy girl who has recently become more outgoing due to her time as a crewmember on the realm-hopping nethership, the Dragon Wing.
However, at the end of our last entry, our three heroes were separated by the terrible storm that protects the lands of the ancient cryomancers. Vapor was carried away by the blasting winds shortly before some beast of the snow forced Tundra and Frost apart. This left Tundra on his own, whereupon he was rescued by an ice giantess and brought to her cave. Upon waking up, she managed to communicate only slightly with him and brought him through the storm to a floating mountain of ice.
Our story begins with Tundra having climbed the mountain and discovering a city forged of ice, which is perhaps the last remnants of the ancient cryomancer civilization. As he presses onwards, thoughts about his friends and their condition worry him terribly...

Our story continues now!
Before you lies an incredible sight: a city made entirely of ice. The sky here is bright, even though there is a thick white mist that surrounds the city. Against the white of the fog, the ice-blue towers, spires and buildings stand out, allowing you to see the intricate details of them even from the edge of the upside-down ice mountain you are standing atop. You breathe heavily as thousands of thoughts assault your mind, wondering about what you might encounter, what it took to get here, but most importantly: that you are now alone.
Frost and Vapor are both gone, and possibly dead. You know they are both strong and capable fighters and members of the Lin Kuei, but you can't help but worry. They are your friends, your teammates, they are part of your life. But they are not here, and you are, even though they should be. They set out on this journey with you, and should be here to witness this sight with you.
The magnificent, yet quiet and seemingly abandonned, city lies before you, waiting to be explored. You close your eyes and take a deep breath as you ponder what you should do next.
