Hello folks! Since this is the very first quest I've ever done, I'm looking for feedback and constructive criticisms. I want to make this quest a good one, and I welcome anything you can offer.

Also, feel free to discuss plot matters here too.

OP pic was requested by Shot.

Congratulaciones on finishing the story. Or at least this thread, it looks like the characters' problems are not really over yet.

I really liked this Nanquest-inspired quest, and I'm honestly left with plernty of questions.

What is the inspiration for the titular demon? And for the dark visions in the depths? What was the moved you to make the evil force behind it all overtly satanic rather lovecratian? What will happen to Maria and the ship's cook? Won't people in the mainland be spooked at a ship full of talking sheep?

>>139588
Thanks for your words of kindness!

>What is the inspiration for the titular demon?

Like any good author, I don't plagarise from just one source. I plagarise from many. With that being said, Kepholet's primary inspiration was Baphomet. This can be seen in their names, cause Kepholet (קפולט) was derived from Baphomet (בפומת).

As for the Kepho- bit, that's tangentially derived from "encephalopathy" (the wasting caused by the black water), but I decided that "Cepholet" would be too on-the-nose, so I went for "Kepholet", directly derived from the (different but related) condition of encephalitis.

As for the way I've drawn her, there's no particular rhyme or reason why I designed her that way, I just thought it'd look cool.

>And for the dark visions in the depths?

All of the visions that Nicoletta had in update 42 were directly taken from John Milton's Paradise Lost, a work often credited with being the root cause for a romantic conception of Satan. The first two visions are scenes from the poem but with Nicoletta instead of Satan, and the last one is a scene from the poem but with Nicoletta nearby Satan. I would recommend giving Paradise Lost a read if you have the time, it's a good story.

I had an idea for a new monster to act as a boss/mother figure for the Hoodlum gang: the Wooly Mammoth. Dungeoneer for scale. She can fuse Hoodlums into her hoodie to power up so she doesn't need many base runes. Instead of shaking dust from her wings like other moth monsters she has a lint attack. Gross!

For some reason this gave me an idea for the next raid. A hoodlum somehow manages to fuse/capture curi and has taken over the castle. All the slime mobs have been forced out of the castle and the rest of the mobs are fused with hoodlums. You need to help the slimes siege the castle and save curi.

The quest is marked NSFW because I have no clue what it'll contain, but probably violence and some nudity.

I'm not good enough at drawing to skip on the body just because it'll be obscured by the cloak, so here we are without the cloak. I spent so long on this... I did skip the left arm, though. I had a busy week, so I'm sorry for taking so long for this most recent update.

That's the prologue done. I'm pretty proud of what I've got. Initially it was going to be all black-and-white with important moments in color, but I think I'm really satisfied with colors as is. Switching to a pixel brush was also another good decision, so I can fill colors much more easily.

This quest is definitely intended as almost a TTRPG through questing. I like the idea of DMing, but I haven't had great success with it so I'm hoping this will scratch the itch. The Threat system is hopefully a simple abstraction of all the nuance of a TTRPG ruleset, and I'm eager to see how it goes.
>>
No. 139485 ID: a7e32a

Gonna put this on hold for now, and probably do smaller one-shots to get into the groove of questing before trying something this grand for my first quest. I've been thinking about it, and in my excitement to create something, I acted too hastily and didn't plan enough to my satisfaction. I want to share good stories, not ones I just improvise. I still like the idea I've cooked up and want to share it one day, but right now isn't the time.

Welcome to the fourth annual Questden Romance Festival, where eligible Questden belles come to get tied up with beaus! Puns aside, all Questden characters have the opportunity to find true love (maybe), and for characters that are already in relationships, there’s plenty of free sweets and drinks to have a great time!

Just like the previous years, draw your quest characters looking to mingle with other participating quest character looking for love. Woo and flirt to test the waters: will the duo be compatible, or will it fail spectacularly? Singletons are also welcome, as are established couples on a date.

Also, whether you’re a quest author or a suggestor, here’s the place to draw or write a valentine to send to your favorite quest character! Who knows, they might even react (or write back)!

Sebak: Afterwards, Sebak returns his attention to the rabbit still lying in his grasp, “So, little wrestler, seeing as I can’t find that metal gentleman anywhere, I have to ask... may I still have a dance with you?” the large lizard blushes a bit as he avert his gaze, “Though, you will have to teach me the moves, little opal.” Then, taking a deep breath, Sobak collect his courage and go all in, “…or maybe you want to go somewhere a bit more private, where we don’t have to listen to these foxes yelling, hmm?”

“How bold,” Ignacia says, tracing a finger along Sebak’s shoulder. “I see you prefer one dance to the other. Do not worry, I will lead you…”

Ignacia hops out of Sebak’s arms and takes the lead, parading him around the dance floor.

Soon the music slows, and their dance is at an end.

“Ah, pobrecito!” Ignacia laments. “The night comes. I must remain alone, for I cannot risk you being made a target of my many ninja and vampire enemies. Such is the lonely life of a luchadora.”

Ignacia dramatically steps into the shadows, where there is an alleyway exit.

Sebak: “Wait!” Sebak shouts after Ignacia, reaching out towards her in desperation, “For someone as strong as you, Luchadora, I am willing to stand my ground against any evil or villain that might mean you ill, no matter how hard it will be!” but his pleading falls on deaf ears, as the rabbit leaves through the door, disappearing with it to who know where. A single tear slide down the Volin’s cheek, but it is followed by a slight smile, “Goodbye, little wrestler, our short time together was lovely…”

But as he’s about to turn around, he spots something on the ground! I seems like the Lucha left something behind for him to remember her by, a small memento for their time together! An artifact formed from a strange metal that Sebak has never witnesses before; a near perfectly symmetrical cube created by what he can only assume is an expert blacksmith. Then, on the side, there is a perfect likeness of the stunning lady he just met, something that can only have been carved by a master! Clearly, a masterpiece like this can only be commissioned by royalty, making the mysterious masked rabbit none other than the queen of her nation, the nation of Luncha! But, what does those cryptic words carved into it means? It has to be some kind of ancient spell written in a long forgotten arcane language, right? Better show it to our Warlock, Sebak thinks to himself…

With a light touch, Sebak picks up the ancient artifact and hold it against his chest, content to know that a powerful royalty was willing to gift him such an amazing and awe-inspiring object.

Sebak: “I swear to you, little rabbit, that I will keep you in my memories always…” the Volin muses to himself, “…until we meet again, Queen of the Lucha!”

And with that, Sebak leaves the festival of love, happy in the fact that even if he did not find a beautiful maiden or a strong warrior to bring back as a mate, he found something far greater in his new connection with the Lucha Queen, not to mention the powerful artifact she gifted him, which will surely aid his tribe!

Maybe!
Personally, I think the whole potential propaganda part means that it's a bit further than that.

A few things I'm wondering about but not sure there's a good chance to explore;

What do these kids learn in class? (Do they have a history class at all? I'm guessing that there's something really off there, but nothing we'll be shown.)

People from Outside (Are they real? Are people allowed to come into Cattenom, but not out? What happens to Adults not in the know?)

Where do they get their produce? (Is everything made in town/nearby? Do they get shipments from... Outside?)

The Library's Forbidden Section (A goldmine of information most likely, with some reasonable things to be forbidden mixed in, but I'm not sure anyone's going back or would know what to look for. Hell, I don't think I'd know where to look, but... y'know?)


...But I gotta keep myself impartial, it's "Just fiction", right?

Yeah, so I'm thinking if we want Frankin to enter his "mother's room" getting him to lower the temperature on the thermostat to get him as cofortable as possible to convince him to go in his mom's room, and to prepare him for what he is going to witness is going to be super important. I think we're at the point where we'll need to take risks and small sacrifices if we are going to make significant progress, and i feel while it is garuanteed he is going to get in trouble, it probably isnt going to be a huge loss (maybe at most grounded for a day, much like how Roger was out of commission for a day) but this is going to be worth it if we want Franklin to maintain his composure and convince him to do things he doesn't want to do.
>>
No. 138506 ID: e51896

I'm not going to mention this to Franklin just yet until we dealt with the dr. dad situation. Don't want Franklin's mind to wander while dealing with Dr. Dad

but doesn't Franklin's dad's from the flashback sound a bit different than his current dad? the present dr. dad sounds a bit more eccentric than the dad from the flashback.

I think this is leaning towards the doctor turning out not being Franklin's real father, which could mean the mother we saw on with him picture was probably not Franklin's real mother...

I posted this in questden discord, but ill post it here too (spoilers) i noticed that Franklin, or Jordan in his past life on that recent flashback in the hospital was bald in the hospital bed, and earlier in Jhonen's notes on Franklin's skin samples, he had erased words that there were traces of radiation on them... from that info, i think Jordan may have died of cancer, and the traces of radiation Jhonen may have discovered on Franklin's skin samples were from radiation therapy.

Just theorizing, I was thinking about similarities between awakening, Cat's power, and Magitech runes

Awakened people's power has an element affinity that are categorized by color according to Mint, while magitech's scripting manuals each represents by color what kind of rune it is as well.

Also, it seems whenever Cat awakens someone, they sometimes have a vision before receiving their power (Willamina seeing her great grandmother in her vision) and when Chi finished her rune, she had a hallucination of a node in the sky sucking up the light in a grassy field.

maybe these are just awakened powers in rune form or something.

Made an EDMANGO’s QUESTS thread. So feel free to speculate there now.
But, as clarification. The AVERAGE human soldier is like a normal human person who doesn't exercise at all in this setting. Just a normal person who was conscripted to be a guard for a town. Which, is still pretty fucking crazy for a 9 year old to be that strong. But you did pay for it, so you get what you paid for!

I have two questions for ya, Edmango.
First off, is there any overlap of concepts between Shards and Catalyst? Stuff like Karma and Soul quality and such, im wondering if theyre a thing in both, mostly just for artifact purposes.
And second, How do you feel about uh, Non character specific Awakened ability suggestion? Just like ideas for ones that might be around in the future somewhere.

There’s overlapping concepts yeah. Soul treasures are just like extremely rediculously rare. And sure I love awakened power ideas. The more the merrier! And if you don’t mind can you suggest in the Edmango’a Quests thread? Wanna have that one be the main one convos happen in now if possible.

Cat can get an ability that lets him Awaken someone who's already got a power, right?
He should do that, and then see if he can Awaken each of Myriad's clones.

Also, Myriad needs to find an artifact that can erase memories, that'll allow her to avoid the "trauma issues" involved in absorbing clones. Split before absorbing, absorb a bad-memory clone, erase the memories of the clone who absorbed, then un-split. Result: recovered clone slot with no new memories recovered, good or bad. The absorbing clone could report anything important before it gets erased.

Alright, so: Titans are super ridiculous powerful. Almost anything that it is possible to do, most Titans can do.

Each individual Titan, then, has their own particular nature: Autochthon is the Great Maker, Gaia does Life, the Ebon Dragon is the original Creature of Darkness, et cetera. Having a particular nature confers certain disadvantages: if you gave Gaia a steam engine she would go WHUH WHAT IS THIS and break it by accident or something, because anything synthetic is antithetical to her nature. But contrariwise, within the bounds of their particular nature, they can do literally anything, possible or not.

For an example from the Exalted source material: time is unbreakable. You can bend it to make time go faster or slower, or you can skip ahead, but you can't go back. What was done remains done. This is the ultimate order, the ultimate hierarchy: one moment follows another. But what ho, the one example of the past being messed with comes from She Who Lives In Her Name, who as the Principle of Hierarchy is specifically bound to these concepts. By destroying part of herself, she released flames which retroactively burnt things from existence from the moment they had come into existence. It was a subversion of her nature, which is why it was a self-violent act, but nevertheless part of her nature and so something that she, but not another Titan, was capable of doing in defiance of its impossibility.

So Saulanna can potentially do anything, with enough Titan's Will, if her eventual nature as a Titan encompasses whatever impossible thing she wants to do. And if said impossible ability is not countered by another Titan's impossible ability? But then it would probably just be a question of which Titan is stronger.

Hello! It's great to see that this story is still going on.

It's probably already been brought up before, but notice how the selection of slaver souls is going from "outright evil" to "only tangentially involved in slavery" to see how far Saulanna will go?

Seems like Saulanna's motivation so far has been to remain independent and not be manipulated. If she ever hangs out with the Lu -- uh, Moon Heroes, she could learn about a (massively hypocritical) project of theirs that's meant to help everyone become independent of Heroic meddling. Might be a worthy cause.

Time to start up one of these dohickeys to answer peoples questions, dump lore and any extra art i done did do.

First question yoy most likley have "where the hell are we?"

Welcome to Tharn, a world dreamed into existence by a mysterious and powerful being known only as the Dreamer.

The being's thoughts, emotions and subconscious concepts manifest as places, people and Gods while its imagination flows through the land as the winds of Magic, ebbing and growing to thebrythm of the dreamers life outside.

In this Almost Real world, anything can happen. And probably will..

Waking/Sleeping Ages.

The waking/sleeping age refers to the state of the Dreamer at the time, during a waking age the dreamer is awake, magic slows to a trickle and things get boring. Boring but stable, its a good time for farmers and miners as you can be reasonably certain that the crops/gems you found yesterday will still be there tomorrow, and that the only threats you'll face transporting them are bandits and rival guilds.

During a sleeping age magic surges to a torrent, miracles become commonplace and things get..interesting, your crops may grow a hundred foot tall overnight or uproot themselves and run away while the gems you found hatch into carnivorous bugs half way to town..
A good age for the adventurer as monsters and dungeons are Everywhere, good coin for those tough (or dumb) enough to face them.

These ages last roughly a thousand years each, and seem to correspond to a single day in the Dreamers life, 2000 years equalling (what is believed to be) 24 hours dreamer time.

During a waking age the odds of rising after death grow to about one in a hundred thousand, in a sleeping age they fall to one in a hundred, right now Sidah has good odds for coming back as long as no one beheads her...

The edge and the dome.

While large, the Dreamland is not infinite (unless your in the land of the dead but that's a special case).

Go far enough from the mainland and you will begin to see things become increasingly unreal, eventually reaching the "Edge".

This marks the place where Tharn dissolves into pure Dream stuff, the weave unravels and everything becomes nothing.

Surprisingly, it has been found that this fringe is inhabited, signs of camps, towns and Even small cities have been discovered by the few willing to explore that far, and the dwarves of the frozen north whisper tales of "boarder folk" who watch at the edge of vision.

The truth of these claims has yet to be verified.

This dissolution also occurs when you travel upwards, into the sky.
Interestingly explorers have reported that even as their forward probes begin to dissolve the stars and moon are no closer.

This raises several questions as to the exact nature of the stars, moon and sun, with the previous hypothesis of a "dome of the sky" being proved false.

Hoy, Penn! I have questions about AI development.

First, are there different grades used to classify how "strong" an AI is? Like, maybe at the bottom you just have your regular chatbot that isn't really intelligent, and as it goes up you go to things that are smart at their jobs but not good at anything else, and up near the top you'd have things that can at least try to comprehend and figure out how to deal with things they haven't been prepared for before? Or maybe there's a different system.

Second, how simple is it to make an AI? The method to make CAI AIs, at least, seems to be very organic, as it were. It seems like it's less putting together a mechanism and more like growing, or cooking, or... fermenting? With something as complicated as an intelligence, something that can learn and adapt, it has to be a process that takes time, and must be sensitive. So I wondered: if, for example, you took the same base AI generating program and gave them to two people, and one was someone with a proper professional setup who kept a clinical distance and was always observing the AI as it grew, and the other was some dude cooking it up in his back room computer who liked just chatting with it about anything in a friendly casual way, and sometimes just left it by itself for long periods, would you end up with two significantly different AIs? Would they be different at more than a superficial level?

If so, can AI developers be identified by the AIs they've made? What I mean is, could a certain AI's quirks and mannerisms act as a sort of "signature" for their creator. Like, if you lost a usb drive with one of your AIs on it, and Arza found it, and we assume for this scenario there aren't any tags or notes or other identifiers on it, could Arza interact with/study the AI for a while and eventually go "hmm, this looks like it might be one of Penn's"?

Any character: Asking for a friend who has a knife to my throat.

If you have a baby in your hand, and you know someone who hates you is about to burst into the room, which of the following scenarios would be the funniest:

-You're about to bite into the baby
-You look up and say "Ah, perfect timing! Could you get me some barbecue sauce?"
-*spitting and gagging* "THIS TASTES NOTHING LIKE CHICKEN"
-Throwing it at them

Belenosians: Does a tendency towards certain horn shapes tend to run in families? Milo and Navanna were siblings, for example, and seemed to both have a front-two-small-back-two-large shape.

Speaking of horns, are there any cultural connotations to using horns in a certain way? Like, is grabbing someone by their horns considered especially rude, or is it considered particularly vicious to actually attack someone with them, when size/shape/situation makes that possible?

Finally... have you guys come up with special pillows to accommodate horns when sleeping? Because it seems like a lot of you would have trouble lying on your back, and others trouble lying on your sides. Lying on your front seems the only position where they couldn't potentially be a problem, but that's not usually the most comfortable for most species. Unless it is, for you guys?

I see that rogues have generation numbers. Does that mean the number of generations since their ancestors went rogue? If an x-gen and a y-gen have a kid, what generation are they on? Are there any significant differences in behavior and empathic dependency between generations?

As for you my friend I suggest you self-reflect. Look in the mirror and as yourself do I make enough money could I do better or should I recycle plastic? But the truth is to not use mirrors because they steal human souls. The things that you see in the mirror are just dubblegangers, humanity should never have looked at its own face or its own refraction. What is skin but a piece of paper that the world uses to write your life, with every scar that time won't heal your mind will remember forever.
