>>40220091
I said you'd have the option for one, but the impression I got was that people didn't really care for that idea. Besides, the impression I get is that evos are pretty mutable. We'll see what happens going forward.

Going to actually give this one a double vote period. I imagine there might be some discussion/questions coming up.

>>40220002

I'm late as hell. Thanks for running Lotus.

After this evolution we gotta get Gra on our side as well as Yra. So lots of night travel, lots of hiding and lots of learning secrets and getting treasure. Become a Twilight Kobold, home in both the Underground and under the Sun, reflecting our parentage completely.

While also completely scrambling momma's religious fervor. She hates Gra.

>>40220002
>Y

Why not, a beastial evolution will help us in the short term. Especially where we are going. When we get out the other side maybe we will have enough for our third and we can pick something to look a bit more like OPs pic. But for now Long fangs and a strong body are cool.

>>40220192
Nah

>>40220190
No worries. Partly why I gave an hour's notice on twitter, and >>40220153. I know it's going to happen anyway, but I really don't want anyone to feel robbed of choice.

>>40220192
Is it that simple though? And are we eligible for favor with Gra if we have Yra?

Also!

If we leave her side and come back with the blessing of the deity she hates couldn't she construe that as corruption? Making things much worse for the dragon in particular.

MY LOVELY LIGHT LEFT AND CAME BACK STAINTED! SHE SHOULD NEVER LEAVE MY SIDE AGAIN!

>>40220219
Oh, you still look humanoid. You're not going full Crinos. You just look more muscley/toned, less waifish and runty.

>>40220241
She's already sewing the leash.

>>40220261
Pretty sure it's safe to close the vote now mate

>>40220241
I have no idea. Depends on our QM. But I do want to try.

As for Mama, if we do come back with Gra and Yra behind us we'll be the chosen \ champion of two gods. I think that overrides a Voice with no markings. We'll probably be a Tier 3 as well by then. Mama is not going to be able to ride roughshod over us.

Though just to be safe we should become marked by 3 gods!

>>40220241
If we keep the blessing of both we could possibly argue that they arent mutually exclusive. anyways, im going to stop with the religion talk because its a bit of a topic to avoid, until the end at least.

>>40220002
N

>>40220002
No
We can't see other available options without turning this one down.

>>40220374
>>40220376
Just a note: You CAN gain the favor of multiple gods, demigods, etc. Whether they have their own agenda, can withdraw their favor, etc, that remains to be seen.

>>40220408
This is true. This is just the first one you happen to have unlocked.

>>40220408
I don't think most people realized that when they voted.

Oh well. We bulkhunk werewolf now.

>>40220444
>Oh well. We bulkhunk werewolf now.

I like this one, but i want to see the ohers.

>>40220444
More Fitbold, but the ayes have it. Writing.

>>40220444
Then they're fucking idiots because OP told us that in the last thread.
They make a vote without thinking and go away, meaning that when their choice is exposed for the stupid choice it is, they're not here to change it.

>>40220444
I'm fine with that. Our actions lead us to it.

>>40220432
>

Should likely note the evolution rules next time. It will otherwise confuse people.

>>40220482
Our actions also led us to the other possible evolutions, which are now locked out because we didn't bother to look at them.

I still want this one

>>40220478
the other RE quest is thinking of doing a dream sequence that reveals all the possible evolutions we've unlocked for it. Maybe next evolution you can do the same so people have more of an idea on what to choose?

>>40220481
Or maybe we want musclebold? Ever thought of that you prick

>>40220492
That just means they're idiots when it was spelled out in detail previously.

>>40220432
Out of curiosity, why aren't we doing this REQM style, where we can see all of them?

>>40220530
Quit being a buttblasted faggot because you didn't want musclebold

>>40220528
You don't even know if the other possible evolutions are even more physically developed. You just chose the first option to come up like the easily distracted idiot you are.

Got here late and just want to say that whilst I don't mind evolving into swolebold I would have preferred to hold out and see what the other options were.

>>40220535

REQM hasnt actually used that yet, its just been evolve or dont, he did show the second evolution types, but he didnt say how to get them

All right, let's pow-wow for a second here.

There are presently three evos you could take, but only one you qualify for. That's why the single option is being presented. You can pass it by now, but if you do you won't be able to choose to evolve again until another in-game day has passed. That being said:

FINAL DESTINATION

>Evolve
>Don't evolve

Guys, guys, you are all pretty. Insulting each other is not going to make anyone happy.

>>40220607

>>40220598
I'm actually a new reader of REQM's quest, and recently binged the archive. The difference here is that REQM also told us which other evolutions we did unlock and offered all of them at once. We're not getting that here.

Welcome to RE: Kobold Quest

QM Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/lotuseater1031

Ask me Questions: http://ask.fm/Lotus_Eater

Character Sheet (Make Suggestions!): http://pastebin.com/4HUVEXh4

SYSTEMS:

Rolling: d100, best of three, roll under, degrees of success (roll compared to DC/opponent rolls and the amount by which you succeed/fail will matter). 1/100 are crit successes/fails, and override other rolls. A crit fail and success on the same roll means the remaining die result will be used.

Win/Lose by 10: Slight Success/Failure

10-20: Moderate Success/Failure

Greater than 20: Extreme Success/Failure

Voting/Writing: Ten minutes for voting, 20-40 minutes for writing as needed.

Final Destination: If a vote is tied/contended, I will call for FINAL DESTINATION, and present the most popular options. For those who don't know, you must vote precisely in the form of ">vote" without additional commentary. This extends 4chan's native post delay from one minute to five, and prevents samefagging or vote padding.

Exploration: While I have a general outline of what's going to happen, sometimes there are instances where things are left to chance. In those cases, I'll call for 1d10, and take the first given. Low rolls are beneficial encounters, with the higher you go being more dangerous. A result of 10 can actually be threatening to the character, and should be treated as such.

Combat: You will be called on to make both an offensive and defensive role, unless you choose FULL ASSAULT/DEFENSE.

>>40220607
Wow seriously Lotus? It was just one very vocal fag not wanting to evolve and it clearly won last time, Now you're just inviting IP fagging

Long and short of it is he doesn't want this one so he's starting ten kinds of shit to make sure it doesn't happen.

>>40220771
Pretty sure a few people switched over when they saw that it wasn't a one time deal.

Besides, 9 votes?
In a quest this populated?
I doubt any samefagging was involved.

>>40220811
Fuck off, I bet you're one of the samefaggers

>>40220734
I could just be a dense motherfucker right now, but in your second sentence, do you mean REQM is no longer going to use this method of evolution?
I though he just asked player opinions and took them into consideration, ten kinds of shit seems like the wrong metaphor. My memory is shot today though so i could be wrong.

>>40220624
>>40220639

>>40220811

salt on both sides, goddamn.

I bet it is actually one very persistent troll trying to stir up shit.

>>40220760
Oh well, i guess we just have to hope to be able to look more human/shape shift or something in the future.

>>40220869
More like there are multiple IP fags

>>40220836
Blame the QM for not posting the fucking rules.

>>40220823
Sorry. Been in class all day.

I don't recall REQM ever letting us choose evolutions.

He'd give us hints as to what there was and then say good luck.

We had a million votes to hunt for people trying to get that wolf spider evo iirc. But in the end we did more protecting/saving and ended up with the skull butt evo.

>>40220869
I wouldn't be surprised. I think Lotus picked up his first shit poster last thread.


>>40220876
Why would we need to look more human? We're a proud Kobold.

>>40220002
You charge after... well, you... but there's no trace of her scent, no sound of her footfalls on the snow or the loam of the forest floor. There is only the wind, the pounding of your heart, and the exhilaration of the hunt driving you into the dark forest. Despite the dark, you can see everything! The moonlight lances through the canopy, dappling the ground with silver pools that illuminate the boughs and trunks as you rush past, pursuing... you don't know what, but it's near! There! Ahead! You come to a stop, low growl making your prey raise her dusky amber head. You see fear in her eyes. You hunker down, creeping closer. She's unawares... perfect. You move into just the right position, long tail swishing. She's skittish, but it's too late. With a fearsome howl, you leap from the scrub and sink your fangs into her-

================================================

"OW!" You jolt awake, drool hanging from your chin as you blink the sleep from your eyes. You look about confused as Djanna rubs at the inside of her thigh, eyes closed tightly and hissing in pain. "Nadia, what the hell!?"

Huh... wow, something tastes like oiled leather. "Huh?"

"You bit me! That hurt!" You see blood trickling from a couple shallow puncture wounds in her thick scales, even through her trousers.

Is it really that hard the believe that some people wanted to wait and find out about what else we could have evolved into? Not everything is samefagging.

>>40220897
Calling it for apologetic pup. Writing.

>>40221005
It's kinda hard to believe that when the voter count rises dramatically on a FD vote

>>40221019
Or maybe people are joining the thread? It just fucking started.

>tfw no cute tomboyish foxbold evolution

>>40221051

Fuck off this is kobold quest not beastfolk quest

>>40221019
Given that the poster count was 18, and there were 9 votes?
I find it hard to accept that argument.

I'm confused.
Aren't Garou a type of werewolf?

>>40221005
>Is it really that hard the believe that some people wanted to wait and find out about what else we could have evolved into?
It obviously is to some, because any opinion different from their own MUST be a samefagging troll.

>>40221087
Depends on the setting.

>>40221107
...fair.

>>40221098
We had 22 votes on the FD vote. Before it we had 7 IPS which spiked to 12 then 18.

We just now got 22 IP's which still includes the Host ip.

Now that we're off Final destination votes the vote count has dropped again.

>>40221130
I actually voted twice on the FD cause I was told my first didn't count.

>>40221107
One of the settings say that they can choose between 5 forms so with luck maybe we have that setting... Though that seems a little too good for a first evolution.

Guys.
Do you really want Lotus to have to tell us to shit the fuck up again?
I mean, fucking Christ.
Shut the fuck up. Both sides.

Every fucking thread, I swear...

>>40221181
Far as I understand it. It's going to diverge from the initial/home setting thing because Lotus appears to be doing his own thing.

I wouldn't expect him to hold to the core material.. because honestly the story was awful.

>>40221182
Atleast we're not arguing about mom again. I'm glad we left that behind and don't have to think about it ever again.

>>40221182
This is just something we will need to accept and move on.

>>40221233
SPEAKING OF MOM
Nah, I'm just kidding. But I need to write a lot in this spoiler to look properly butthurt.
I like cheese. Who else likes cheese?
OH! I bought cheese curds today. I'm going to eat some.
Kumquat

Not to meta this, but evolution arguing seems to rip these quests apart. There must be a better way to present evolutions without screams of samefagging left and right when something doesn't go their way

>>40221357
Yeah i tried to bring it up with him on twitter last night

>>40221396
From what I read you wanted to remove it from our actions completely. Which I think defeats the idea entirely. Then it's just leveling classes.

I think the QM should just evo is period and not let it devolve into votes at all.

But the discussion is going to start a bitch fit.

>>40221357
Personally I'd do it like actual evolution, instead of Pokemon evolution. Small changes based on choices and actions.
Things like
>you notice your teeth are sharper
Or
>You've developed a conveniently camouflaged pattern.

>>40221357
Eh, all I've had to do is post what I want and then come back a few times to see if it's died down. In a thread or two no one will even mention it.

>>40220897
Your eyes widen and yup, that's blood you taste under the oil. You whimper, tail swishing behind you. It feels a bit different, but no time! You bound to your pack, reaching out and hey, do your paws seem bigger and OH GOD YOUR CLAW JUST TORE OPEN THE BAG AND EVERYTHING IS FALLING APART AAAAAAAARGH!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Dragon-sis first, freaky mutations later. You grab the small wooden case from the bottom of your bag and bound back to Djanna's side, sliding to a stop in the grass and snapping the case open - carefully, this time, a bit more mindful of what evidently must be come kind of freak bout of superpowers. Djanna looks up at you and gasps, her mouth opening and closing slowly as she sputters. Clearly, she's going into shock. Your already heightened sense of panic goes into overdrive as you grab a small roll of cloth bandages, turning and lifting the dragon girl bodily and oh god you have no idea what you're doing and NO DAMN IT NADIA WE ARE NOT GOING TO CRY! We are, however, going to whimper it seems.

Djanna snaps out of whatever had momentarily made her lose herself, and takes the bandages from your hand. She drops her trousers, quickly and clumsily ties off the bandage, and cuts it off the length of the roll with a claw. The dun-colored cloth is quickly spotted red, but the pressure seems to have done the trick at least, and the flow of blood slows. She redresses herself before gripping you by the shoulders. "What happened to you?"

You look at her, confused for a moment, before you look down at your hands. They don't seem that different. Larger, maybe, and the golden color has become a bit darker. Your gaze travels to your arms and HOLY CRAP! You stand quickly, taking in the whole of your body. Just yesterday, there was barely anything to you - a mere slip of a girl - but now?

>>40220897
OHGODI'MSORRYLEMMEFIXIT!

>>40221357
Whatever it is would have to take into account people posting from their phones, which may change IP's as they move between towers.

The IP counter went up right now even though there's no voting going on, making it far more likely that the increased number of IP's is due to more players arriving late, or their IP's changing due to their cell network

>>40221422
You look around your back at your tail, the curl at the end straightened, leaving it long, fluffy, and sweeping. You swish it back and forth experimentally, the muscles in your hips and lower back tensing and relaxing in time. You feel... good. Really, really good! Like you could run a marathon! Two of them! Your muscles are like coiled springs, ready to release a barage of power at a moment's notice. You're more toned than cut, to use the language of your old coach, but still! You even have-

Your hands press to your chest in surprise as you look up at Dj- damn it. Even with your strange changes, she's still just barely taller than you are.

"I... I don't know. Mama and papa never mentioned... I'm not sick, am I?" You whine, tail lowering and ears flattening. Djanna frowns, laying her forehead to yours. She's a dragon. She's always warm. What exactly does she think this is going to accomplish? Still, she shakes her head and pulls back.

"I don't know either. You seem all right, just... look at you! You look like my mom! I mean, not 'like' her, like her, but all..."

"Strong?" Terrifying.

She nods, pacing about you curiously. "Maybe it's... maybe it's temporary? Or maybe it's something about being above ground?"

You consider the possibility for a moment, but suddenly remember the dream. "I heard a voice while I was dreaming. It said something about 'evolving'. Do you know anything about it?"

The dragon girl shakes her head, reaching out to run a clawed hand gently along your upper arm in awe. "Not a thing. Mom never mentioned it, but... if this is what happens, I hope I get to some day."

Your tail could lift you off the ground at the admiration in her voice. Deciding to stow the matter for now, you gather your things - after a hasty repair to your pack - and set off deeper into the woods.

So what you're saying is I need to remind you what fear is? All right, I'll remember that.

>>40221610

Its sort of a plan, its a small ADVENTURE, before going to the city and then making a bigger plan.

>>40221610
Because we are essentially a child given freedom to explore. You going to go straight to the store to buy milk, or stop at the park for a little bit on the way?

>>40221647
Short break while I check the mail and stretch my legs a bit. Also: In case you missed it on Twitter, this Friday will be a marathon session.

>>40221615

Cheeky fuck. I thought i had become dulled to your evil.

>>40221523
Maybe small changes as we level that leads up to our "major evolution"? That way it's still a noticeable difference between a 1:st evolution and a 2:nd evolution.

>>40221615
I wanna know what fear is!
I want you to show me!

although, I agree with the anon from last thread. The amount of spread in your encounter chart is ridiculous.

1: LITERALLY MEET GOD.

>>40221646
We need to hit the shrine too, since that is the whole point of the trip, to visit them all.

>>40221647
Good point.

>>40221692
Oh right, I had completely forgotten about the shrine.

>>40221716
...what shrine?
Note: this isn't a joke. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

Once again, I missed the odd numbered thread. SIGH.

>>40221759
Shrine in the forest, whole reason we were allowed to leave was that we were supposed to visit all the Kobold shrines to the deities. Mom will prolly test us once we get back.

>>40221759
Theres a shrine to Yra(?) i think, on he way to or in the tower. I dont remember if its the destination of our pilgrimage. however.

>>40221647
Both, most kids these days would go do what they were told, and then fuck off and play for a while before returning.

>>40221794
Well yeah we can go do that.. but. there is a tower. Like right there. It could be anything! IT could even be a shrine!

We have to check out that tower.

>>40221690
Do you honestly think I literally meant "meet god?" I said a ten was getting Gra out of the tub, FFS.

>>40221794

What would she test us on, what the shrines loo like? not much to say if all we were supposed to do was visit. at best pretend we had a vision. anyways. lets leave mom until the bump limit at the very least. she is not a good topic mid session

>>40221845
To be fair, that is basically what you said.
It was: "find god. No, literally"

Scales from the cheeks back, clawed hands, scales up the arms to the shoulder. Roughly this, anyhow. Just the best one I could grab on the quick.

>>40221494
You decide to strike out for the tower, to the north near the heart of the woods. They're a bit darker than you expected. The canopy is overgrown, clogged with dead branches that never quite hit the ground, the abandoned nests of various creatures, and strange mosses grow on the bark of the trees, seeming to feed on the ambient light. You shiver despite yourself, and slow down a bit more, letting Djanna catch up to you. She stops here and there to try and consult the map, but without unfettered access to the sun, you have no choice but to admit that you have both become quite lost. Still, you... you've got this. You think. You press on, your hand in Djanna's.

After a few hours, there is no more hope. You have seen this same tree three times. The second you marked it with your claws because you had a suspiscion, but now you're certain. You whine lightly, looking to Djanna. The fear in her eyes likely mirrors your own, and the growling in your stomach tells you that it's probably been close to the whole morning you've been going in circles. "Let's stop for lunch. Maybe things will be better with a full stomach." Your dragon companion nods silently, nodding to a fallen tree. You both take a seat with your backs against it and pull out your packs, jerky and water from your skins again forming the depth and breadth of your meal. You whimper. You miss fresh food. You miss the hearth. You miss mom and dad.

As you lean down to dig another piece of meat from your pack, the hatchet barely misses your head.

>>40222191
You jolt to your feet, eyes wide as the coppery odor of blood touches your nose, along with the sour-sweet scent of an unwashed body, and low, guttural muttering fills your ears. Djanna rises slowly, looking about the small clearing, casting her gaze about as she tries to follow the sound of the voice. A moment later, her head snaps to the side and she points. You look, and skulking through a gap between the trees, you see a tall figure in a heavy coat - shredded in the chest and covered in dried blood - and fur hat - dyed crimson in fresh -, skin a sickly green and with a short, wiry beard streaked with shocks of red. Its muttering turns to a shrieking cackle as it realizes it's been seen, and it rushes you with another hatchet held aloft.

We're still cubbold, anon, let's wait until after puberty before we start macking on things.

>>40222204
You snarl, dropping low and baring your claws. The thing cackles madly, leaping at you with the hatchet. The scene seems to slow down. You can see it in his eyes. "Kekeke... tiny dog will make good slippers. Maybe one slipper. Need to find more to make full pair. So tiny."

"GrrrrRRRAH DON'T YOU LOOK DOWN ON ME!" You take a step forward, the axe grazing your arm, but catching nothing but fur. The scene slows again as you bring a fist up, driving it into the creature's stomach. You swear you feel a bone or two crack as it is knocked flat on it's back. You step forward, ready to put it down like one of the slimes, but it's already back on it's feet, cackling and shrieking as it swings it's hatchet like a club, aiming it upward at your head. Djanna shouts, tackling into it from the side and hanging onto it. The swing goes wide as you take a quick hop back on the balls of your feet, paws still up in a fighting stance.

It jumps back likewise, carrying Djanna with it through nothing more than the girl's tenacious desire to help disable the beast. It seems to notice her for the first time, looking down at her and burbling in confusion. Then a wide grin splits it's face... literally, as it's jaw distends, green skin splitting in a Chelsey smile, revealing rows and rows of jagged, shark-like yellow teeth.

4 vs. his 41. Three DOS. Nice.

Also, poor Djanna... She was a good dragon sis. Short break for dinner, then writing.

>>40222831
>She was a good dragon sis
Lotus, I will rape you in your sleep.
Of course, I was planning on that anyways, but that's besides the point.

>>40222831
If she was killed by a gnome she deserves to die. Worst dragon ever.

Red cap must be channeling a baggins.

>>40222800
>>40222803
>>40222789

So...Djanna's not doing well, but we're picking up the slack.

>>40222831
Honestly, if you're going to run a lethal quest, say so and be vicious about it. If you're going to be light-hearted, be light-hearted. So far, I think what you SAID you were going to run and what you're ACTUALLY running are two different things, and I feel you just need to be more honest with yourself. You call it being cheeky, I call it lying to yourself. It's getting old.

>>40222897
>Red cap
>calling it a gnome

Brother, those fuckers are vicious.
Besides, it's armed.

>>40222915
I think lotus is just shit at being cheeky when it matters most.

>>40222915
I'm having a good time. It's a mix so far. Through puppy eyes everything is silly and wonderful.

But in the deeper context we're being driven out of our homes by an old evil surfacing. Our mother is using her religious zeal to attempt an exodus from the warren and we've got old hard headed individuals who won't go because "THIS PLACE OURS WE STAY!" Even with the threat of distruction. Sort of like idiots who stay behind in a flood because "It's mah home I stay gubment can't tell me to go!"

And the more reasonable people who are afraid she's gone off the deep end.

>>40222954
It comes off more to me as Lotus (apologies to you) Lotus STARTED trying to write a light-hearted adventure, and then quickly realized he's not good at long stretches of light-hearted cute (which is fine, not everyone can write every style), and went 'Shit, people wanted cute, but I can't do that. How can I fudge this?'

Like, I'm not saying he did this consciously, more as a gut reaction from wanting to keep his audience, which, again, is understandable- I DO NOT BLAME HIM- but it comes off as such, in essence.

>>40223034
(This was me)

However, thinking about it, maybe this just isn't the quest for me like I thought it would be. I'm complaining way too much. Apologies.

Show of hands: Who thinks Lotus fucked up?

>>40223156
Still more consistent than snake hand off and well written. It's not bad so far.

>>40223156
I came for the adorableness i was promised in the discussion thread before this even started, Now it's turning into what seems to be a high lethality quest, So i raise my hand

>>40223156
If they think lotus fucked up badly would they still be following the quest?

>>40223156
actual writing skill is aces. it just feels like a bait and switch.

>>40223192
maybe they're hoping he'll tone it down? The premise promised was very attractive...I can see people not wanting to let it go so easily.

>>40223156
I'm enjoying it. The balance between cutebold and seriousbold is pretty even.

>>40223156
I like where this is going and hope it continues in this direction.

Jesus you all are a bunch of whiny no-name cubs.

>>40223156
I'm fine. I've had cute times so far. I think you people are flipping out over nothing.

>Something that isn't just fluff and nothing happens

OH MY GOD I WANTED ONLY HUGS AND KISSES!

It's like you want nothing to happen at all but constant cuddle scenes.

Fights could have bad results?! Everything is ruined!

My guess is she got hit with an axe and her moral caves.

She's a fucking dragon. She might have some light damage to moderate damage. But I seriously doubt she's dead.

Stop being such a baby.

>>40223156
I like his writing, I'm not very impressed with peoples ridiculous overreactions to a lot of stuff, but thats hardly his fault, and I hope the audience settls down after a few weeks.

>>40223269
morale*

>>40223156
I think he needs to cut the side-chatter down a bit, because he's painting a MUCH worse picture of the quest whenever he makes a side remark. Such as his "Literally find god" remark that implied obscene variation on the encounter tables.
Pretty good other than that.

>>40223253
Overall people are speaking positively. Most just imply fine tuning is needed on lotus' part. but that can be done easily.

>>40223290
this, seriously. he's making the issue far worse than it probably is with those quips.

>>40223269
Really don't see where these pads are getting "lethality" from. Even the slime bossfight had the QM confirming that it was 90% unlikely anyone would actually die. And mom is still mom.

>>40223290
You are right, his side Sarcastic remarks do not translate well over virtual space thus causing the anons to panic because they can't realize that the QM is JOKING!

>>40223290
I feel like most of those remarks are pretty obviously jokes though. I mean, who can resist tormenting players? It's half the reason I GM.

>>40223311
Because of his side remark here more than likely>>40222831

I think you and most of these other people are being whiny when the worst we've gotten is some redcap and a bunch of cutebold panic. Side-chat is making people panic? Christ man, don't play games at all. Stay in your safety bubbles.

>>40223317

>>40223343
Which was a obvious joke...

>>40223317
Anon's are gonna shadowrun
And when literally the only guy who knows what's gonna happens says something to confirm it, joking or not, they'll take it to heart.

>>40223331
I GM mostly to improve my writing ability. Figure out methods, plots, and styles that are enticing to readers. It's always fun to figure out how to re-rail a plot that players took off without them noticing.

>>40223358
Said the namefag.......

>>40223156
Come off it man. Lotus is all aces so far.

Well save for that call for a final destination. That was a bit of a screw up.

Back. Writing.

>>40223349
Seriously mate? GM/QMs trolling players with rampant park is a time honored tradition. Whether you're sat down on a futon with your mates or settled on in front of your computer, there'll be one constant: The boss' unilateral right to dick around his players.

Honestly, this really is all less of 'Lotus is a bad writer', and more 'this isn't looking like what you promised us'. Kinda like going to what is advertised as a basketball game and getting Rugby.

>>40223456

That sounds like a pretty good switch to me anon. much more exciting. But that's just my opinion.

>>40223454
The problem is that I'm what most folks would call 'a pussy'. I don't fear retaliation from my players, I just have a hard time finding the actual desire to dick them over without a solid, possible escape route.

>>40223456
I don't know what Rugby is. But I apparently like it more than basketball.

>>40223482
>>40223499

You disregarded the point I was trying to make, though. It's more the principle of the matter of expecting and wanting one thing and getting something else entirely.

>>40223413

>caring about namefags

>>40223518

I understood, I was being a jackass.

>>40223530
Yup because you bastards are still annoying

>>40223530

A LOT of people here care about namefags, yes. I've borne witness to a lot of arguements.

>>40223530
Eh, I'll shut up on this. I made my points.

>>40223530

You are the only one here besides the QM, you arent really coming from a position of strength.

>>40223543
Oh.

...Oddly enough, I don't feel offended. Probably because I didn't register the intent. Kinda an android like that.

>>40223496
Hey hey hey, no one ever said anything about dicking *over* players. I'm fine with giving the buzzing beehive that is player paranoia every now and then; that just comes with the territory. It's harmless prodding really. The stuff other anons are talking about just hasn't showed up yet, and probably never will since Lotus seems pretty chill.

>>40223518
It's a RE Quest with monsters... fighting. It's exactly what I expected. Perhaps you got too far into a cricle jerk about "Awoo! cute cute cute!" and didn't realize there would be more components to it.

I mean.. Mom is using religious zeal to try to leave the warren and the monsters there.

We are currently in a fight and a team mate got hit.

That's what's happened. And you're up in arms and asking for a vote of no confidence.

>>40223586
Ohhhh. So moreso you like keeping players on their toes?

>>40223579

fair, it's the internet, intent can be missed. we all do it.

>>40222601
The creature grabs Djanna with its free hand, jerking her closer to his mouth and sinking his teeth into her shoulder. She shrieks in pain as the beast tries to break through the tough scales, piercing them but not quite getting through to muscle. Djanna's eyes are wide, staring at the thing in abject terror, and shuddering like a leaf in a strong wind. The creature pulls back, moving to take another bite.

No. No! NO!

You rush across the clearing, and you feel the barest pulse of something in the pit of your stomach, but you can't quite feel it. Something feels off about it, like a flower not yet ready to bloom. You run fast as you can gather speed across the short distance, stopping short in front of the creature and bringing both your hands together, swinging them upward like a hammer. With a solid "klock," you snap the fiend's head back, its tongue pinned between it's teeth. You hear it scream through lips held closed by the tangle of teeth in flesh, and it flings Djanna away from it, turning all its fury upon you. The dragon girl scrambles backward, whimpering with her hand clapped tight to her shoulder, trembling.

That's right, you jackass. Your dinner's right here if you've got the stones to come get it! The fiend tightens its grip on its hatchet, squaring off against you as the two of you circle one-another, waiting for the other to feint, to make a move. The forest has grown quiet but for the wind, the movement of feet in the loam, the dragon-girl's whimpering, and the steady dripping of blood from the redcap's lips.

>>40223663
Our brawling is our highest rated combat skill. So clawing and smacking the shit out of him should be good.

>>40223694
We've got massive paws with claws on them.. why would we stop to draw a knife?

>>40223696
Agreed. Why use a knife when our claws do just as well unarmored.

Also, L3 tech scroll, huh...

>>40223716
deeper penetration?

>>40223717
Something to read while we nurse Djanga to health.

>>40223723
I guess? But it would be in a limited area.. and we've got ten hand claws. And that's not counting feet claws.

I mean hell we could get some of that weird clawed Capoeira going on if we wanted too.

Dancing around like that might even please the wind.

Clawed Capoeira is two combined.

>>40223848
our fangs and claws are lethal damage. Our fists and kicks are less so.

>>40223771
>>Kick/Punch

>>40223848
Brawling for a Kobold could include the claws. They're built in, not some extra weapon.

>>40223848
I dont think claws areso different as to not be be brawling but thats just me.

>>40223848
Pretty sure brawling includes "all weapons that are part of your body"

It's just used for kick/punch since most humans don't have claws or fangs.
It's all in the mind.

>>40223879
WOG: They do not. You're working on instinct and scrolls from a non fanged/clawed species. There are martial arts in the world that use claws and fangs and such, but you'd have to seek out a master or do a lot of experimentation.

>>40223890
It's really different, unless you're using styles that perform a lot of gouging strikes. For the time being, yes, brawl only relates to punches and kicks.

>>40223848
I'd prefer claws. I'm good for punching and kicking. I don't want fangs though.

It's a red cap.. it's probably disgusting.. and depending on which version of mythology it follows it might get us high as fuck.

It hurt Djanna, it's bleeding from the mouth, and it's still coming at you. This isn't at all like the slimes. Those you could kind of forgive - they were just dumb animals. You think. Like mold, or fungus. This, though...

You see hate. You feel it. Like a wave of pressure trying to force you to flee. Malice like you'd never felt from another living thing. But, well... you laughed death in the face when you were born. Why would you stop now? It takes a lazy swing, but from the way it's standing you can tell. It wants you to dodge. Your eyes flick to it's waist, where it's holding it's gnarled hand in a strange position. You're not quite sure, but you think you see a spark arc between its fingers for a second, but you don't have time to worry about that.

You snap out your paw, grabbing hold of the wrist holding the hatchet, stepping forward instead of back, to the side. The beast's eyes widen in surprise, and you can't help giving it a toothy grin. You raise your leg and kick hard at it's knee once... twice... on the third, you hear - FEEL - a wet snap, and it falls toward you screaming again behind it's locked jaw. You bend and, still holding it's arm, drive your shoulder into it's solar plexus. The shock forces it to drop the hatchet, and you smell the faint stink of ozone as something crackles in its other hand. You wrap your other arm around it's waist and stand, hefting it with an "Oof!" It's heavier than it looks... dense... and you feel the trickle of blood along the back of your neck from it's wounds. Even now, you feel it trying to force its jaws open so it can take a bite, but you've about had it with this asshole.

You leap, and fall backward, angling your back so it's head hits the ground first. You hear the crack, the body twitches, and goes limp.
