Welcome to Avatar Quest. Here are the rules.

Decisions are made by vote. Each vote has a ten minute interval, after which, the option that receives the most votes it the one that is chosen.

There are no write-ins unless explicitly stated

Some options require rolls. In that event, rolls will be out of 100. Whether rolls succeed or fail is decided by the first three rolls. If one passes, then you succeed regardless of the other two. Rolls will really only occur during training, or when trying something new.
All decisions are final. If you regret voting for something, too bad. Think carefully before you make decisions.

Try to keep waifu bullshit to a minimum.

"Hey now, be careful with those, they were a gift," you remind Galda as she casually tosses her daggers aside.

She shrugs. "Sand will wash off of them, Shin. Daggers get dirty. So, what do you want to do?"

"I'll fight hand to hand," you tell her.

She raises an eyebrow, a bit surprised by your answer. "Alright Shin, let's see what you can do."

You've fought Galda enough to know that she'll most likely attack first. However, without your bending to aid you, you're not sure how to address her attack when it comes. You don't have much experience fighting hand to hand, a disadvantage your opponent doesn't share.

You think for a moment, then realize that even if you can't bend in this fight, your skills as a bender can help you. You can fight using the characteristics of your bending styles. The question is; which one?

>A. Be like the Earth: Strong and unmovable. Root yourself, block her attacks, and endure any that you can't.

>B. Treat it like Firebending. Attack her with everything you have.

>C. Treat it like Waterbending: try countering and using her own attacks against her

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Give up

>F. Forget it, Earthbend

>G. Forget it, Firebend

>H. Forget it, Waterbend

>>35307557
>C. Treat it like Waterbending: try countering and using her own attacks against her

>>35307557
>D
GATTAI DAH

>>35307804
Seconding the fuq out of that

>>35307587
>>35307584
You'll approach this like waterbending. You stay where you are and wait for the attack to come.

Galda doesn't keep you waiting long, breaking into a sprint almost immediately. Judging from your still posture, she mistakenly believes that you will simply try to block or weather the blows, so, her first punch is as hard as she can throw. Leaning to the side at the last instant, you grab her arm and pull, adding your own strength to the momentum of her punch, and causing her to fall forward to the ground.

She is back on her feet in an instant, and aims a spinkick at your head. You lean back and push her leg when it comes, causing her to end up with her back turned to you.

>A. Kick her in the back

>B. Tackle her

>C. Take the chance to put a small bit of space between the two of you then plan your next move

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Surrender

>F. Ask her to surrender

>>35307804
>>35307864
Mixing all the styles? Count me the fuck in

>>35307880
>A. Kick her in the back

>>35307880
>WRITE IN AN ACTION
GRAPPLE HER LIKE THE TIDE, WE DREW HER IN, WE TAKE HER OUT.

Oh no you don't I can see through your ruse

>>35308067
Then make it a fucking valid option.

>>35308067
Why not?

>>35308067
>Not valid option
Err.....why not? Is there something wrong with grappling her?

>>35308067
that grapple option could just be a view for B

>>35308067
A

>>35308086
>>35308095
>>35308104

Write ins (and fun) are not allowed in Som's quests.

>>35308104
True, but none of those votes were done in the right format, so the deadlock is between A and C

>>35308095
>>35308086
>>35308080
See>>35307452

>>35308160
Why do you care so much about the format? It's only slowing the quest, is conceding it that bad?

>>35307880
B

>>35308160
Why is the format so important?

>>35308160
What exactly is bad about write in options anyway?

>>35308160
guess we'll go with A

>>35308160
Guess we'll go with C

>>35308160
Just fucking allow them to grapple her

>>35308138
>>35307898
You quickly kick at her back. She spins and manages to block the kick, but the force of it causes her to take a few steps back.

"Not bad," she tells you, sounding genuinely impressed.

She circles you, and prepares to attack again.

>A. If it ain't broke, don't fix it; use the same strategy again

>B. She won't fall for the same thing twice; root yourself and block what you can. Hopefully you can endure what you can't.

>C. Attack her head on and see how she does in defense

>D. Dialogue writein

>>35308233
>C. Attack her head on and see how she does in defense

>>35308207
They get ridiculous after a while, and players often get upset if their idea doesn't work.

>>35308256
Players often get upset if they're not allowed to do things either.
Not to mention, plenty of the actions we've taken in this quest regardless of the write in option, have been ridiculous.

>>35308256
Considering that has happened before anyway I don't see the problem

>>35308256
.....Wait a second, that's happened, and is happening, anyway.

>>35308233
>C

>>35308256
But it also limits player agency, stifles creativity, and makes players upset anyway...

>>35308327
I know, but, I tried allowing action writeins in my first quest, and it got REALLY stupid.

>>35308348
Wouldn't you say the last few threads of Avatar Quest have gotten REALLY stupid?
The monologues, the shadowrun political plans?

>>35308364
>>35308327
>>35308293
>>35308287
Okay, fine. I will allow limited writeins. Basically, you can make small changes to existing options such as switching tackle to grapple in that one example.

>>35308233
>C. Attack her head on and see how she does in defense

Trying to turtle it is a bad idea.

>>35308408
>>35308316
>>35308242
Not waiting for her to attack, you make the first move, dashing to her and immediately beginning to throw punches.

Galda, clearly expecting you to wait for her to attack as you did before, is caught off-guard by your sudden assault. So, your first punch connects perfectly, sending her staggering backwards after connection with her face. Your second punch hits her as she's still recovering, causing her to move back even farther. By the time you throw your third punch, however, she is ready.

Her response is very similar to your previous method of fighting. She grabs your arm and pulls, using her strength and your momentum to throw you off-balance. However, instead of throwing you to the ground, she pulls you right into a kick to the gut, following it with a punch to the jaw that almost has you fall on your back. Instead, you step back. Galda looks much more serious now, and you realize you need to end this quick if you want to beat her.

>A. Attack her with everything you have

>B. Return to your first strategy

>C. Root yourself, block and endure; let her wear down before you counter

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Surrender

>F. Ask her to surrender

>>35308576
>C

When in doubt choose C

>>35308659
"Call it a draw for today?" you suggest.

She stares at you for a few moments, before nodding with a smile. "Sure."

She reaches up and wipes a small bit of blood from her face, looking at it for a moment. "That was pretty impressive; I really didn't think you'd fight that well."

>A. Tell her you're full of surprises

>B. Check to see if you're bleeding

>C. Ask if you hurt her

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Tell her she fought well

Also, bed her.

>>35308781
>A. Tell her you're full of surprises
>D. You ok?

>>35308805
>>35308796
You check to see if you're bleeding, and find that you are not, though there is a small amount of it on one of your hands, probably a result of the blows you delivered to Galda's face.

"You fought well," you say. "I didn't think I'd do so well, either."

She smirks as she bends down to pick up her daggers out of the sand. "Don't let it go to your head. Had we kept going, you wouldn't have stood a chance."

>A. She's probably right

>B. Maybe, maybe not

>C. Tell her you would have won

>D. Dialogue writein

>>35308963

Shrug
"Why do you think I stopped?"

>>35308979
>>35308990
You shrug. "You're probably right; why do you think I stopped?"

She raises a brow. "Backing down from a fight because you think you can't win? That's unlike you on several levels. Still, probably a good decision. I doubt either of us want a repeat of our last sparring match."

She walks past you, making her way towards the settlement. "I'm going to get some sleep. If I find you moping down here tomorrow I'm kicking your ass."

>A. Follow

>B. Stay and practice your Waterbending

>C. Stay and practice your Earthbnding

>D. Dialogue witein

>E. Stay and practice your Firebending

>F. Call the Shark Turtle

>>35309202
It's getting late, and so you decide to follow her. She slows down for you to catch up, and the two of you walk quietly home.

"There's no real joy in beating up a friend," you say, breaking the silence. "I'd rather give up early on and save us both from getting more bruises."

She rolls her eyes. "Shin, I can take a hit. Fighting is pretty much all my father trained me for. I appreciate the thought, but in the future; don't worry."

You seen reach her home, and after saying goodnight, Galda goes inside.

"Shin, out late with the ladies again, are you?" Bulo asks as he runs up to you. His gaze travels between you and the building Galda just disappeared into. "Galda, though? I thought you and Felna had a thing going."

>A. It's not like that

>B. Felna's not your girlfriend

>C. Try to launch him into the lake

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Ignore him, go home

>>35309445
>D
"Gee, what next? Do I have a thing with my mother because I step into a room with her alone Bulo?"

>>35309478
>>35309445
This

>>35309445
>E
We've resisted this long after all

>>35309478

Add on, "Oh and I talked to the Queen a few times too, maybe me and her"

>>35309478
>>35309496
>>35309619
"Gee, what next? Do I have a thing with mom because I've been alone in a room with her?" you ask. "I talked to the Queen a few times, what about her?"

He rolls his eyes. "Please, like you'd have a chance with the Queen. Wait, are you saying you don't like Felna or Galda?"

>A. Not in that way

>B. You're saying there's nothing going on between you and either of them

>C. You're saying it's none of his business

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Go inside, ignore him and get some sleep

>>35309668
>Write in
"Why, are you interested in the Queen's nieces?"
"If the Avatar doesn't have a chance, then aren't you being a bit full of yourself?"

>>35309680

Although uh...
>"If the Avatar doesn't have a chance with the queen, then aren't you being a bit full of yourself, trying to go after her relatives?"

>>35309668
>C. You're saying it's none of his business

>>35309768
>>35309713
>>35309680
"Why, are you interested in the Queen's nieces?" you ask. "If the Avatar doesn't have a chance with the Queen, then aren't you a bit full of yourself if you're going after her relatives?"

"Making a lot of assumptions, Shin," he says seriously. "And being a bit insulting on top of it. Can't a big brother make sure his little brother isn't getting into trouble?"

He claps his hand on your shoulder. "I'm just watching out for you. Now come on, mom's probably wondering where you ran off to."

>A. Go home

>B. Go to the lake

>C. Dialogue writein

>>35309948

C "what kind of trouble would I get into with some girls? your worst case scenario is probably my best case scenario"

>A. Go home

>>35309948
>D
"Oh come on, you've made assumptions about my relationship with any girl I've walked away with for ten minutes Bulo, don't take my words so seriously"
"Besides, I'm the Avatar, it's my job to stop trouble."
>A. Go home

>>35309999
This

>>35309999
>>35309987
>>35309978
"Oh come on, you've done nothing but make assumptions every time I've talked to a girl," you remind him. "What kind of trouble would I get in to?"

He chuckles as the two of you walk home. "Little brother, you have a lot to learn."

That night, you sleep surprisingly well, and feel nice and refreshed when you wake up in the morning. For a single, wonderful moment, you believe that all the terrible events of the previous day were a dream. Reality sinks in all too quickly, however, and you realize that things are going to be very different from now on.

Getting out of bed, you make your way into the main room. A delicious aroma coming from one of the nearby rooms tells you that at least one member of your family is awake and making something tasty.

>A. Go see what's cooking

>B. Go to the lake

>C. Go to Galda and Felna's house

Your stomach makes your decision for you. Listening to its rumbling, you follow the smell and find your mother cooking some large fish.

She smiles as you walk in ."Good morning, Shin. Glad to see you didn't run off last night. Are you hungry?"

>A. Yes

>B. No

>C. She thought you were going to run away?

>>35310760
"Starving," you admit.

Your mother begins fixing you some of the fish, and you can't resist the question that comes.

"So, you thought I was going to run away?" you ask.

"Not really," she replies, handing you your breakfast. "I think you're smarter than that."

You dig in to the food you've been given, and realize that you can't remember the last time you had a proper meal. Your mother fixes some for herself and begins eating.

"By the way, we may have visitors sometime soon," she says before taking her first bite.

>A. Who?

>B. Why?

>C. When?

>>35310875
>D

"How?"

>>35311020
>>35311015
>>35310906
>>35310885
"Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?" you ask. "In that order, please."

Grinning, you resume eating. Your mother shoots you a slightly irritated look before answering your question.

"Someone working for the Queen, I imagine," she begins, pausing her eating to answer your questions. "I'd expect they'll arrive within the next two weeks or so. I had to report what happened to your father to the Queen, so I'm expecting her response."

>A. Ask what she expects

>B. Ask if she thinks the Queen herself will come

>C. Say nothing

>D. Dialogue writein

>>35311148
>A. Ask what she expects

Sure

>>35311183
>>35311204
"What do you expect from her response?" you ask.

"A letter or a messenger to tell us who's in charge now," she replies, not sounding very excited. You can't exactly blame her.

"I still feel like I screwed it up..." you admit. "There must have been a better way, right?"

She sighs. "Shin. In your life, you're going to have a million situations where you'll wonder if there was a better way. My advice to you is to let it go. Dealing in "what if's" never helps anything. And it wasn't your screw up, your father made his own choices."

>A. You still feel like you could have handled things better
