Your chest could burst. It had been years since you had seen your father, and even longer since he'd come to one of your events! So lost were you in the moment, that you didn't hear the revving engine, the tinny shriek of a stock stereo belting outdated jock rock for all the world to hear, or the shriek of hastily applied brakes, skidding on snow-slick pavement. For that beautiful moment, before an explosion of pain, shattering bone, and the wet tearing of rupturing muscle, you were the happiest you had been in a long time.

You feel as though you swim in and out of consciousness, barely perceived moments of lucidity interspersed with an uneasy sense of non-being. You were aware, though, of a growing sense of pressure on all sides, and, perhaps more urgently, a necessity - and inability - to breathe. The darkness all around you slowly becomes light, silence gives way to shrieking alien voices and pained cries. You tremble in fear and at the sudden chill, your body feeling weak and somehow wrong. You try to suck in a breath, to demand answers, but nothing comes! You feel heavy, with something slimy clinging to your skin. Even that feels strange to you. Suddenly, you feel yourself hung upside, down by your ankles, and a sharp blow to your backside. You cough, you retch, and you shriek at the indignity of it all. A growling, half-muttering voice meets your ears, and you understand despite sounding like your neighbor's old dog choking on a bone.
"Small. Too small. She will not last the night. I'm sorry, Eyszha. It is not the gods' will."
"Give... give to me, and to hell with the gods..."
You feel yourself righted, and a softer grip takes you gently. The cold is replaced by warmth, and the steady thrumming of a heart. You become suddenly aware that you can't see beyond light and darkness, but you feel that this person that holds you, you know them. You nuzzle against them, and they give a half-sob as you are bundled into their arms.

Welcome to RE: Kobold Quest.

This is a new experience for all of us, so please bear with me while we get things sorted out on the back-end and the front. Rules and character sheet will be forthcoming. For now, we're going with best of three, roll-under, degrees of success.

I'll post Twitter and Ask.fm at the end of the thread. For now, buckle in, have fun, and toss out suggestions if you have them.

>>40097783
>>40097816
Try to cry out: "What's going on, who are you?"

>>40097763
We are the runt of the litter then? this will be interesting, we shall be the strongest one day.

>>40097816
Don't forget to tweet the start of thread with a link, that's important.

You hear the despair in even that small moment, the quickening of the heart beating against your ear. You still feel weak, and small, and that you would very much like to take a very long sleep. That sadness, though... you can't disappoint this person holding you, you would sooner die.
'Won't last the night?' When were you ever the kind to back down from a challenge?

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

"I'm eating first!" Your brother's rough shove knocks you away from your mother, and almost in slow-motion your outstretched paws are yanked away from the table, the large glistening cut of meat snatched away from the rough trencher as your brother sets into it with his sharp fangs. You whimper softly, your fluffy white tail curling against your leg.
"Mom!" You cry pitifully, your ears folded back against your head as you try to muscle your brother away from the table. He growls, rounding on you with the kind of ire only an elder sibling - be it by two years or two minutes, as in this case - can muster before he receives a wooden spoon in the middle of his forehead for his trouble.
"Kort! You leaving your sister alone, yeah? She is small, and you are not so! Be nice, or I will take you outside and bury you in a snowbank!"
The older boy whimpers and shoots you a venomous look before taking his haunch of meat and retreating to a seat near the head of the table, eating sullenly. Your mother moves to your side and gathers you up into her arms. "There there, my tiny snowflake. It's all okay. There is enough for us all. Your father brings home too much, the old hound." She smiles down at you, her large hands smoothing over your ears, beginning to fuss over the arrangement of your fluffy white-blond hair. You struggle out of her grip with a whine, landing on your bare, padded feet.

Muscle-bold is difficult when you're underdeveloped.

Sounds good to me.
Though i would happly be called Natasha.
Chenknhka is (roughly) russian for snowflake so something based off of that would be cool.

Hope we go in for ice magic.

>>40098199
we must get blessings from a combat god, yes?
though if we fight we must do it smart instead of stronk

>>40098199
Fine Toned-bold, Can we agree on that?

>>40098227
We should go cunning-bold. Take advantage of our small physique and superior speed (which we clearly got from our past life as a runner)

>>40097928
You scramble into your seat, your brother already reaching for another piece of the dwindling dinner, and snag a piece while he's fixated and securing the most succulent morsel for himself. You pull it back to your place, trying (and failing) to eat with a bit more delicacy as you sink sharp teeth through the flesh clear to the bone, and tug until the morsel comes loose in your mouth. It smells heavenly, the fat running along your tongue and down your chin through the thin fur that covers you everywhere but your paws, shoulders, and stomach. You wipe your mouth with the back of your arm, earning you a matching smack with the wooden spoon and half-growled admonitions as your mother sets back to her work, mending your father's heavy jacket. You whimper a bit, watching her by the fire in your small cave, and after a moment you hop off your stool and trot over to her, offering her your half-eaten dinner. She smiles down at you and waves you off.
"Do not worry for me, love. I will eat when your father returns home. The best morsels must go to small pups, to help them grow strong."
You remain unconvinced, but you feel your brother's eyes on the proffered flesh, and with a high-pitched growl that, frankly, couldn't intimidate a small mouse, you return to the table and set about your meal anew. After, you help clear away the dishes as your brother predictably vanishes into the warrens on some mindless errand or adventure or another. "Tsk, boys... so reckless. So stupid."
It's only a few moments later you set out on your more important errand, your very serious and not at all frivolous adventure.

The question is, where do you go?

>Upper caverns, closer to the surface (d10)
>Stay in the warrens (d10)

God i hope he doesn't do crits......

>>40098293

>Head lower, into the flowstone veins (d10)
I dont know what that is but it sounds cool

>>40098328
Kobold biology is, like, weird, man.

Breasts, and no extra nipples. Bold litters tend to cap at four.

>>40098344
Crits with d10 would be completly pointless. Would be way too common.

>>40098344
Odds are this is a random event roll.
Otherwise, Jesus Christ man, d10s?

>>40098344
But it's roll under. That would be a crit success.

>>40098356
so dog morphs, but with more human sexual characteristics?

>>40098344
If this QM does active crit overrides on a string of multiple d10 rolls, he's such a big tard that I'm abandoning this quest without even trying to suggest he picks a new system.

>>40098293
>>Head lower, into the flowstone veins (d10)

>>40098344
No crits on random encounters, but the further you get from center on the bell curve, the more extreme the encounter. If the winning vote has an extreme outlier, I'll opt for it over the standard. Remember: Low is good.

>>40098419
Oh, Cool

>>40098293
>Head lower, into the flowstone veins (d10)

>>40098293
Calling it for Flowstone Veins has it. Writing.

>>40098419
Might want to change things to rolling after the vote because as is now people will metavote based on rolls instead of picking the option they want / is best / is in character.

Or if you were going for a new angle and saying that the mc has some kind of fate-seeing power because of reasons, I guess my suggestions are pointless and that's actually fairly cool. Something like "blah blah reincarnation with memories blah blah fate abnormal and bared to see blah blah things."

>>40098553
That kind of worked with Katie because she, as a hikki, was probably genre savvy to this kind of thing. Our as-yet-unnamed main character, though, definitely wasn't the type to be privvy to this kind of story, so no pattern recognition for her. Still, I'll take your advice and handle the random encounter rolling for myself. Any disagreements?

>>40098617
Nope, Also since this is Not!Russia does that mean we'll meet some Cossacks?

>>40098293
You move swiftly through the caves, padded paws and long nails slapping and clicking against the worn stone paths that lead through the warrens where your aunts and cousins keep their family caves. A few of your younger cousins call out greetings as you scurry past, your eyes bright at the prospect of getting out of the house. Only barely a week old, and already you feel stifled by your surroundings. Your mother tried to keep you close at hand, in the beginning, worried that a larger and more careless uncle might step on you, but when you went missing and were found in your uncle Baltas' cave listening to his adventuring stories, she realized keeping you under wraps was a stalk that would never bear grain. Instead she made you promise that no matter what, you would not go deep into the mines of flowstone, where the angry ground ran like water, or up into the surface caverns that the monstrous beasts of the surface had taken for their own.

Of course, being a coin flip of a decision, you opted to go lower into the mines.
Most young kobolds are born more than accustomed to the darkness. Even the slight light given by the luminescent minerals in the harder granite are enough for your eyes to see by, even if does tend to render things in grays and other muted colors. You feel the ground beginning to angle under your paws, and soon enough the yawning maw of the tunnels that lead deep into the ground comes into view. Sergei, another of your uncles, sits with his back against the wall of the tunnel. His pick rests over his lap, and even from here you hear him snoring. You chuckle lightly to yourself and dart past him like the wind itself. His only movement is to whine in his sleep and idly scratch at something behind his ear.

>>40098617
Not him, but please format your posts properly. Spacing is important and makes it easier to read here.

>>40098701
small pointer, you may want to use double spacing, it will make these far easier to read.

>>40098701
Spaces and line breaks only count for a single character, so go to town with them.

Keeping things separate really helps reading, where blocks of text get a little hard to read.

That said, I'm loving the family situation already, and look forward to more.

So being as the protagonist is described as having fur virtually everywhere, does that mean she has a more conventionally dog like face complete with snout?

>>40098879
Ok, what is the earliest evolution that can get her to become nekomimi instead of full furry?

>>40098895
Uh....QM never stated that we are or aren't full furry

>>40098895
This. Furries are anathema and if that's going to be this quest's "thing" then I'm fucking gone and I know I won't be the only one to drop this.

Kobolds are dog people, if we adventure, we can get belly rubs

>>40098910
"the thin fur that covers you everywhere but your paws, shoulders, and stomach" we're quite close

>>40098943
>"the thin fur that covers you everywhere but your paws, shoulders, and stomach" we're quite close
Did not see that.....

>>40098895

Was kind of hoping for something a tad more human-ish, but this anon (>>40098910) has the right of it. Neither has been said for certain yet.

I won't start shouting furry, mind, but somehow a human face makes me feel better about identifying with the character.

>>40098922
To be honest even if we are furry now we can just take a humanoid evo and avoid being it forever.

>>40098774
Once past the entrance, the tunnel takes a

sharp curve down and to the right, the semidark

of the warrens giving way to actual lamplight

midway down. Small gemstones hang

suspended in twisted wire cages, casting pale

red light on the path ahead. The granite walls

and floor are cracked and coated with a thin

film of white. Rather than the smooth stone of

the warrens, here the walls are roughly hewn,

as though natural caverns were expanded for

easy movement rather than carved new.

Stalactites hang from the roof, and further on,

you hear shouting, barking laughter, and the

striking of mattocks and picks. You can't help

but wag your tail. Maybe you could surprise

papa! He's home so rarely, and almost always

after you're asleep. Still, there are so many

uncles down there that you think better of it.

You aren't afraid of them, really, but you don't

even want to think of what might happen if a

pup were to be caught in the mines.

"Dangerous," you were told, but never why.

You move on down, past the striking of tools on

stone and the working packs, grabbing a lamp

from one of the walls to light your way as you

move past their crimson glow. Even here, the

specks of luminous minerals cease, leaving you

feeling completely alone below the ground. And

the smells! So many your head almost swims

with them! One that makes your nose curl and

feel as though it were burning, and undercutting

that something searing hot, like fresh blood or

the old coins Baltas had shown you from his

journeys, and encompassing all, the musty

odor of old air, undisturbed for many long

years. You move deeper into the dark, footing

becoming uneven. You feel the air becoming

hot, your tongue lolling almost unconsciously

out of your mouth though it does little good.

Soon, you see light up ahead - an angry red, not

like your lamp. You hear churning, grumbling,

the sound of the deep earth, and... singing?

>>Something singing this far underground? Investigate!

Betting on a fire spirit living in/near lava. In which case we should probably run.

>>40099083
Yet. If I had my notebook here, I'd show you the evo path I have drawn up. Basically, you can go more human or more animal. Animal splits off into fox, wolf, and cat-folk forms depending on magic/power/dex builds.

>>40099089

>>40099136
That's an option. There's a baseline path to evo that preserves dogbold. Hell, the way I was thinking of taking it, you could in theory become a doppleganger.

>>40099143
Yes, but you'd be leaning more heavily on the physical aspects than the arcane.

>>40099200

Well, doppelgänger would enable us to better sneak into fortresses and aid the dorfs by stealing their children.

And we'd still have kobold as a base form.

>>40099256
These quests usaly have hidden evolution paths.

As such, aiming for something is hard.

>>40099209
This is the best Plan, first spell must be fist

People do have a point about this going from Kobold Quest to Kistune or Catgirl quest or whathaveyou.

I think the evolution chart should be mostly variations of kobold or wolves.

Let's say I wanted to run Re: Kitsune Quest and this quest went Kitsune route. That'd be kinda unfair.

>>40099264
Typo, dude. Meant exclamation point.

>>40099251

I'm not clear what the problem with the normal notepad is. I use that

>>40099367
Formatting retention it would seem.
Notepad++ seems to be better for it.

If you use it with wordwrap it can sometimes insert linebreaks to 'create' the wordwrap which are then copied but no longer fit the view. I never managed to work out why it sometimes does that though.

>>40099029
You set the lantern down, the light coming from the cavern ahead more than enough to see by. You creep

forward, careful to keep your claws from clicking against the stone. The song is beautiful, almost

mesmerizing. Your mother sang to you when you were born, and sometimes when she's working, but it's a

completely different thing. Hers is rough, full of bluster and strength. This is delicate, spellbinding,

like if you even breath at the wrong point the tune will be lost and never recovered. You keep close to the

wall, your tail swishing about despite your efforts to keep it steady, and poke your head out. A long

stretch of stone angles down into a flowing river of glowing, angry red, the roof of the cavern stretching

into darkness overhead. Pinnacles of jagged stone stab toward the heavens here and there, islands in a sea

of flame, and atop the tallest you see a figure clad in what appears to be a shimmering blue coat of

armor, until it turns to one side, revealing azure-hued skin and deep black eyes with angry-looking yellow

slits for pupils. You flinch in instinctual fear, an involuntary whimper leaving your throat, The song

ceases in an instant, the creature rising to its feet, gripping its rocky throne with massive rear claws.

The woman, you see that now, is tall and lithe, with scales covering most of her body. Under her arm she

holds a gleaming, irregularly-shaped ruby that must be as big as your head. She huffs angrily, the air of

the cavern growing all but imperceptibly hotter, more stifling than the already oppressive heat. You want

to run, but something keeps you paralyzed where you stand. Leaping from stone to stone with the grace of a

bird, the woman lands on the small peninsula of stone leading to your hiding place.

This is it. This is how you die.

>>40099523
Yes, I do. The way I was intending to handle kobolds was more akin to beast-folk - chosen to walk between man and monster in bygone eras, ambassadors to both, hence their mutability along evolutionary pathways. If that's a no-fly, I'll bin it and start fresh.[/spoilers]

Skip double spaced, just insert line breaks where you need it.
Maybe try working in a full window? It looks like the text is formatting itself to fit a half screen or something.

Alternatively-
Are you using 4chanx? I'm not sure if that has any impact on formatting or not.

>>40099523
You are, some others might be. I for one, am not.
So stick to talking for yourself please.
And I would appreciate if you wouldn't discourage him from being open with his ifeas so we can discuss them, by being a dipshit about it.

I am pressing the space bar twice after each sentence. I am not pressing enter after each sentence. I am entering this directly into the 4chan reply window (detached). What will happen?

>>40099568
Well you did say it was going to be DOGBOLD's in the discussion thread and not beastfolkbold

>>40099576
I'm working in a windowed mode for Notepad, and I'm using 4chan's native posting system.

>>40099603
Well, git you this 4chanX one away or the other, it significantly improves upon the native 4chan experience: https://github.com/ccd0/4chan-x

Dunno if it's the crux of the issue or not though.

>>40099603
That's it for sure then.
Once you hop over to Notepad++ it should vanish.
If you can't yet, try working it in fullscreen.

And don't feel bad about formatting fuckery, my first two threads were a mess.

>>40099460
Begging for help/cowering seems to be the winner. Writing.

>>40099603
Haven't been participating because reasons but I can't see why people are pissed, you haven't done anything wrong and RE: Lizard quest doesn't even feature a humanoid PC, we're pretty much quadrupedal most of the time.

Anyway, QM you have won my confidence in you to not write a shit quest, so I will be here to stay.

>>40099543
Which im sure is actually possible. Evo's don't have to keep you in a single species.

Writing a message in a Notepad window which is very small width-wise.
Then copy-pasting into the native 4chan reply system.
What will happen?

>>40099680
I agree formatting is the only hiccup I've seen in this quest, but it's not uncommon in the first threads.

You cower in the cave, begging for mercy, she does not cease to glare at you, and mutters something about tresspassers, before saying words in a language you do not understand, suddenly the ruby begins to glow red, as does your fur, you panic as you burst into flames, flailing in a futile attempt to put out the magical fire. In less than a minute what was formerly a lively kobold child is a charred husk of a body.

No, but it should at least stay in the same genus.

You want to run, but your legs just won't cooperate. You know if you could just get them to listen, you'd be out of the cavern and up the tunnel before she knew you were gone. All you have to do is just stand up. No, damn it, don't slump down! Get up! Oh Hell, she's getting closer! Come on you stupid legs, work!

"Well well. Hello, little one. Did we get a bit lost, hmm?"

You open your mouth to reply, eyes frozen wide in terror. She's looming over you, easily four times your childish height. The air around her is practically shimmering with heat as she bends down, grinning like a hungry snake. She reaches out a long, clawed hand in what feels like slow motion to you. Visions flash through your mind, of your mother finding your body, half-eaten on the floor of the mining tunnel. Of those clawed hands easily strangling the life out of you. Of-

Wait. She's petting you. This is... huh?

"You have come too deep, child. Are you lost, perhaps? It is long since I have had company. Too much heat for your kind. Much deeper than your mines, or your colony. Have they named you yet?"

You look up at her, tears evaporating as they slide down your cheeks. "Y-you aren't gonna eat me?"

The scaled woman blinks once... twice... before she throws back her head and clutches her stomach with her free hand, her laughter like thunder and the breaking of a storm that had been looming for days. Her body trembles with her mirth, and she has to crouch to avoid falling over. Like the breaking of that storm, the fear washes away from you, and you are left feeling a bit awkward, despite the smile you can't help wearing.

Well one anon suggested Nadia which I would be fine with.

As for other things to say tell her that her singing was beautiful which is why we came here.

>/tg/ is now the fluffy tail

What terrible force has been unleashed? Will we now corrupt men to do our will with a single pout or swish of the tail?

>>40099964
Yup i'm good with Nadia, Heh we're our mother's little "Hope"

>>40099839
"Child," she chokes out as her laughter has all but stolen her breath, "there is no meat on you, and I am not one for the taste of those that walk on two legs. You have nothing to fear of me."

She rises slowly to her feet, uncoiling the tail she had previously held wrapped about her waist. She grips you under the arm and lifts you to your feet, setting you upright before giving you a gentle nudge back up the tunnel. "Come. We will get you back to your kin. It is too deep down here for even an adventurous hatchling. Wait... no. What do they call you? Pips?"

"Pups?"

"Ah, yes, pups! Ah, Sylea, you need to get out more..." she mutters to herself as she cradles the massive gem closer to herself, guiding you ahead with her left hand.

'Adventurous,' huh? Like uncle Baltas? Your tail wags, despite itself, the slight curl at the tip smacking the older woman in the leg and eliciting another thunder-like chuckle from deep in her throat. "Expressive child! There is spirit in you."

>>40100086
Mostly just a ghost of the life, as I understand it. Certain things will trigger associated memories, like Lyra's sister being named Sarah in RE:M. Nothing you can actually call on, though I think when Nadia gets older, remembering long strings of Earth-cursing would be very Russian of her despite the fact she didn't live there.

>>40099996
Now that fear of consumption no longer stills your tongue, the muscle rises like an angry beast, determined to make up for the time that was rudely stolen from it. "So what's your name? Sylea? Is that your name or the rocks? Why are you carrying a rock? Why do you have scales? Do you live down here? Do you have a bed? I liked your singing, can you teach me to sing? You're big! Really big! Will I get big too? Can you teach me to be big? Can you teach me to-" you take in a sharp breath "-sing? You're really pretty. I like your scales! Oh, you said you'd take me to my-" and another sharp breath. Hey, those little stars at the edge of your vision are kind of neat! "-family. Do you know my family? I-"

Sylea, to her credit, maintains her calm smile though the twitch of her brow reveals more than anyone less observant might notice. "Slow down, child. There is time enough for questions as we walk! Yes, my name is Sylea, and I live down here. I have scales because every one of my kin has them. Yes, I live down here, and my bed is deeper in." She reaches out and lays a clawed finger gently over your lips as you bounce with every step, tail stirring the air and lowering the ambient temperature several degrees. "And this 'rock'-" her tone is one of annoyance, though her smile and kindly demeanor don't falter, "Is my child."

Child? But it's... it's a rock. She notes your confusion and smiles, stopping in the middle of the tunnel and crouching down before beckoning to you. You bound over, shifting your weight from foot to foot as you stare at her expectantly. She meets your gaze, and you can't bring yourself to look away. "You must promise me, you will be very careful. If you will-" You nod rapidly, ears flapping forward and back "-I will let you hold it, but only a moment. It is too cold for it when away. You understand?"

You swallow hard. Something about her slow, calm manner of speaking and the fact she never once blinked while addressing you...

She offers the stone egg to you with both hands, and you take it likewise, carefully. It's warm, almost hot, and inside you can feel something moving through the stony shell, like something is kicking at it. Under all, a soft heartbeat. You stare transfixed, a quiet "Wow..." muttered under your breath. Moments pass with Sylea looking on, and it's only when you feel the egg beginning to kick harder in your hands that she takes it back and holds it close to her chest, shushing it quietly and running her claws gently over the surface.

"That was neat," you whisper, tail slowly swishing and ears perked up. You step forward and stretch a hand out toward the shell carefully, looking at Sylea for permission before touching it gently. "So there's a baby in there?" The older woman nods and lays a hand on your head. "I hope we can be friends," you say matter-of-factly as you turn and bound ahead up the tunnel, your prior questions all but forgotten.

As you near the mines, you hear a commotion and a loud voice echoing above all the others.

"Eigan's child has been missing from his cave for hours now! Neither of the watch saw her leave, but she's not in the warrens! The women have set to looking above ground, and the underground falls to us! Fan out, take lanterns, and howl if you find her!"

Your ears flatten, your tail droops, and you grip Sylea's elbow with all the power of a child who knows she just got caught doing something wrong.

We could be the Darth Vader to her Sheev Palpatine. She hands out quests and we kick ass.

>>40100587
It seems really weird and tryhard (I hate the term, but I can't think of anything that fits better) to have a dragon be a kobald's herald.

I'd be down for friendship, though.

>>40100587
But NinQuest would be great

>>40100644
I think what the QM is saying is hes afraid of accidentally making a mary sue character as an NPC.

I'm just trying to say that Nadia is going to be MVP for the quest.

>>40100650
No it wouldn't, It'd be shit

>>40100445
As Sylea takes her hands off the egg it suddenly becomes hot, burning hot. Your reflexes pull your hands away and let the egg drop. As tears drop from your eyes you catch sight of a red slurry pooling around your feet.
You do not even see her move, all you hearing is screeching, roaring, pain, pain, so much pain as you are dashed against the walls and then torn apart.
The only consolation you can find in your death is that at least you won't bother your parents anymore.

It's not really DMPC faggotry if the point is playful teasing and not serious heralding.

You whimper a little, looking up at Sylea like... well... a lost little puppy. Somewhere in the back of your head, the simile makes you groan. The older woman shakes her head and lays a hand on your shoulder. "Come, little one. Your adventures are done for the day, I think. I will go at your side. Perhaps it will not be so bad, hmm?"

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

Your butt hurts, your ear hurts, your stomach growls as your brother sits at the table sucking on a piece of snow sugar with the blissful grin of the ignorant. Your father growls at you lightly, and you quickly turn your face back to your corner with a sniffle. Your mother tutts, laying her hand on his arm and whispering something to him to which he just grunts and mutters something back. Sylea's egg sits in the middle of the hearth, the crackling flames reflecting off the rough surface and occassionally sending shimmering lances of red light into your shadowed corner. The older dragon lady sits cross-legged on the floor, her head still almost touching the top of the small cave. Most kobolds are tall folk, broad and strong. Your father is built rather more squatly, with a barrel chest and broad shoulders. His bushy, wiry black fur covers much more of his body than your mother's, and his small eyes are hidden behind polished glasses. He looks rather more like a badger than a proper kobold at times, but all the same, you love him. Except now. For now, he's a meany.

"It is good that you found her, Sylea. I had not thought you would be back here so soon. Were the gods and I on speaking terms, I might give them thanks."

>>40100901

>>40100901
>>40100863
Text smut is SFW. As long as it's /tg/ related, it shouldn't be a problem.

>>40100928
The dragon lady chuckled, shaking her head and causing her long, straight black hair to ripple in the firelight. "No, no, it was just lucky that I found her. If she hadn't made her presence known, I might not have seen her. I'm just glad she didn't get hurt. The caves are quite deep."

"Quite" Eigan grunted, taking another drink from his stein. Another sat before Sylea, untouched. A log popped in the fireplace, sending cinders dancing into the air. Your father jerks his nose toward the egg. "So, you and Kardas finally, eh?"

Sylea nodded, a light blush tinging her cheeks purple as she clears her throat and turns aside, trying to conceal it in the fire's glow. "Well, we did travel together a while. It was only a matter of time, eh? A man and a woman might seek comfort on the road, and these things happen. Honestly, I don't mind. I'm glad to be back in my old haunts, and I had missed the cold. And what of you two? This is your what, fourth now?"

"Fifth." your mother chimes in, chest swelling in pride. "All good, strong, and healthy. Even our runts are strong enough to get into trouble, as you can see!" She laughs softly, followed by a short yip. Your ears perk and you turn toward her. She nods and beckons you, and you can't scamper over fast enough, almost upsetting the stool before you throw yourself into her arms. She nuzzles against the top of your head, running her paw down your back and muttering comforts into your hair.

>>40100953
That varies depending on which moderators are online at the time.

>>40101029
Your father reaches a strong hand over, slipping between you and your mother and scooping you up into his lap. He musses your hair lightly before curling his arms around you and holding you against his chest. His heart beats against your back, strong and steady as the stones. "I hope if she gets lost again, you will help. I fear this one will be a tunnel runner before too much longer..."

"Actually," Sylea turns back to your parents, sparing a mirthful glance for you before looking to them in their seats. "She seems deeply curious, more so than most of your kin. I mean to speak to Baltas before I go, and when my little one is hatched and grown enough, I had thought..." She lets her words trail off, letting the moment hang suspended between them. Your mother tilts her head with curiosity, but your father's eyes narrow, a low grumble deep in his chest.

"You had thought what? Come, Sylea, we have been friends long enough that I know your ways. If you mean to say something, don't bait it out of me to ask. Ah, damn it..."

The dragon lady laughed, different from breaking thunder, more trilling like the wind through bare, frozen branches. "Very well. I mean to take my child beyond the frozen lands, and I think your daughter may like to join us. She is a curious creature, and full of questions."

Your heart all but stops. Out of the caves? Away from the snow? That's a thing!?

There's places that aren't snow and aren't underground?!
How long until your egg baby hatches?
What do adults do on the road? Are we going to be doing that?

>>40101282
Not!Russia is huge, and Sylea has a lot of friends to visit. Don't worry.

Your tail slams against the chair, and your father's side... and your mother's chair, and side... and you're pretty sure you just knocked something over, but who cares! Outside! Outside outside outside! Away from the warrens, away from the caves, outside! Who wants to go outside!? You do!

Your father shakes his head and opens his mouth to speak before your mother cuts in. "I think it's a wonderful idea, but she's so little! She's our smallest, and probably our last. I am not so young any more..." You hear the worry in your mother's voice, and your tail slowly settles to a stop, your ears folding back as you look up to her. Your father bounces you lightly on his leg as he looks to her, his expression softening somewhat. He reaches out a hand and takes hers, giving it a squeeze. She looks away, and you think you see the barest hint of glistening wetness on her cheek. Your tiny heart all but breaks before your brother, from his perch at the table, breaks the moment in half.

"What do adults do on the road, lady?"

Sylea, who had chosen precisely that moment to take a drink of her mead, promptly chokes on it.

This, of course, unleashes the fury of your tongue once again. "Yeah! Will we be doing that? And when does the egg baby hatch? Will it be big like you? Can we be friends?"

1) Stop being such a sourpuss over a joke. I'd tell you to go to spacebattles because they seem to mesh with your mindset, but fuck that place.
2) Reincarnation, mate. She's in her late teens.

>>40101576
No.

>>40101432
Your father blusters, staring daggers at your brother who just tilts his head with the self-assured innocence of the young, while your mother laughs and takes the stein from Sylea's hands, offering her a rag to wipe her mouth with. Your father sets you down and crosses the room to scold your brother, leaving you to bob up and down on the balls of your feet in excitement. You haven't even been above ground yet, but Baltas had told you everything! Long expanses of quiet whiteness, tall jagged mountains ringing the land, deep stands of ancient pine and birch with ancient mysteries just waiting to be found inside, and so much open sky! Like staring into a cup of water hanging upside down above you that went on forever! And when the time to sleep came, a canopy like the walls and ceiling of the warrens, only so far away you could stretch out as tall as you like and never reach it! You're practically hyperventilating at the though of it!

"Can I go now!? Huh!? Momma? Papa? Can I? Huh? Please please please pl-"

Your mother claps a hand over your mouth, and another over your tail as it brushes an inch from the ceramic mead pitcher sitting between their chairs. "My little snowflake, how did you ever get so much energy? Did you swallow a star before you came to us?" She shakes her head as Sylea finally stops coughing, leaning back and wiping the dripping mead from her face and chest with a grumble.

"There is time yet, and you've to be named still. Patience, my love, patience." Your father steps before you and lays a strong paw on your head, mussing your hair all about. Your mother whines and immediately sets about righting it again. "There are things to be done yet, so you must learn to be calm and patient, as the stones."

"Hah... if ever there was fire in a child..." Sylea shakes her head and shifts to her kness, stretching out her tail and using it to pluck her egg from the hearth without looking.

>2) Reincarnation, mate. She's in her late teens.

Different anon but read this>>40100134
And we are only one week old

>>40101677
Oh, well I was wrong then. Guess I missed that post and didn't expect the QM to toss out one of the core themes of RE:Monster.

>>40101694
Eh he's trying something new, And the quest is pretty interesting so far so i'm cool with it

>>40101652
Your father clicks his tongue and moves to refill Sylea's stein, but she shakes her head and waves him off. "Thank you, Eigan, but I must go. I am growing chilled, and I still need to speak with Baltas before I go... but, since this little one of yours seems to seek out trouble, you will see more of me and soon. Besides, I have gifts for you from my travels. I'd have brought them, had I remembered this was your family's warren."

He nods, still filling the stein and setting it beside his own chair. You struggle in your mother's grasp, undoing her grooming before she finally turns you loose with an exasperated snort and a muttered curse. You bound to Sylea's side, hugging around her waist, tail swishing. "Thank you auntie! Thank you for helping me get home an- an talking to me an showing me your egg an-"

She laughs as she gives you a one-armed hug, scooping you up and passing you back to your mother, shifting her egg into the other. "'Auntie,' am I now? Well... perhaps, given our history, it is appropriate. Be mindful, little kobold, for I will see you again soon. Though, you may not see me." She grins, and despite the same unsettling look in her reptilian eyes as when she first spied you, you don't feel the same fear that gripped you. To you, now, she is kin and family and auntie and her baby will be your friend and your brother or sister and you really hope it's a sister and...

The next thing you know, you're being tucked into your little basket bed near the banked hearth, having fallen asleep in your mother's arms. You blink half-awake, giving a little whine, as you see your mother's tail disappearing deeper into the cave your small family shares, after your father. You hear the soft padding of feet on stone, and a soft poke into your midsection. You look up at your brother, who quickly puts a finger to his lips. He's holding a paw out to you, closed.

>Take what he's offering
>Turn away from him, he stole your meat!

>>40101694
Literally every RE: Quest has fucked with this concept, with RE: monster its something we're aware of and afraid of if anything but we still acted like a mostly normal child. With RE: lizard quest its resulted in several weird things and it appears we're running off of some weird hybrid of both our past and current memory. The only reason this isn't a problem is because we were an iguana so we haven't really moved that far in the grand behavioral scheme of things, only moved to a moderately smarter level. With RE: Snake we were full out running on past memories, as we had no baseline to begin with.

>>40100134

Lyra can actively recall things (ex in one of the more recent threads she was momentarily confused that tents didn't automatically set themselves up, like they did when she was a human, and she's made explicit references to RPGs and the like), but she usually simply chooses not to.

Certainly not saying that you have to run it like that (and I certainly wouldn't mind if you don't), but her memories aren't exclusively based on triggers.

>>40101873
I suppose we'll have to play it by large, furry ear.

>>40101845
>Take what he's offering

>>40101895
There have been three other RE: Quests, each has done a different take on it, yours will also be acceptable if done well.

>>40101845
>>Take what he's offering

>>40101845
>Take what he's offering

>>40101845
>Turn away from him, he stole your meat!

>>40101895
Well I like it so far

>>40101845

> Take what he's offering.
> If it's bad, we're grabbing the spicy herbs from the cellar pot and shoving them up his nose.

>>40101907
EX and Snek actually did the same thing. The difference wasn't in the reincarnation mechanics, it was that Lyra had a family to raise her from the start and she wasn't a maladjusted NEET fuck.

>>40101845
>Turn away from him, he stole your meat!
But
>Take what he's offering while looking away.

>>40101867
Would it make you feel better if Another Re: was started that melded past and present memories? Cause I'm seriously asking. I have ideas.

>>40101966

I think having three Monster RE's is already really stretching the limit.

>>40101997
>not turning the entire board into RE:Quests

>>40101845
Taking wins it, but I like >>40101966, so I'm incorporating it. Writing!

What's funny about it? There were 3 active. Snake is dead now so there are still 3 active.

>>40102023
I'd rather you not incorporate it please, It lost the vote afterall

>>40102030

Snek is dead tho. This one was birthed from its ashes.

>>40102073
>>40102061
I might start another one.

>>40102063
It's harmless, and I kinda want him to incorporate it out of spite for you now.

>>40102023

In the future, if you see any write-in that you personally like and can see a way to incorporate it with the winning vote, I'd be fine with you splicing it in. It makes the scene more fun for you to write after all, and usually will have positive benefits for us.

>>40102088
Maybe Desert Lamia?

>>40101845
You blink at him and then turn away, bundling the blankets up around your shoulders in a huff. You hear him turn to go after a moment, but without looking you shove your hand out from under the blankets, palm up. You stare into the dark of the cave, dimly illuminated by the banked coals. You hear a tell-tale swishing as something is pressed into your hand, and a moment later you feel your brother's cheek on yours, nuzzling before he returns to bed. You pull your hand back, shifting to get a better look at it. Glistening in your paw is half of a shapeless piece of snow-sugar, obviously snapped cleanly. Given the size, it's fully half a piece! You look over to your brother's little basket bed, but already he's bundled in and the blankets rise and fall evenly. You smile, tail thumping against the floor for a few moments before you hear your father yell from your parent's room to stop with the noise, and you tuck it quickly back into bed.

After a long, careful moment of thought, you decide it might not be so bad if Sylea's child is a boy. You guess.

That's it for tonight. I'll stick around for questions, comments, and feedback. Thanks for playing, and sorry for the rough start!

>>40102105

Lamia Quest was fun, and almost ended in Foghorn Leghorn shenanigans which I may or may not have started.

>>40102105
No. It'd be based off of >>40102030

I really like that picture. Something something internal conflict between your former life and your new one. You would not have originally been from an Earth-like world but the same fantasy world that you become a lamia in. Only your country of origin has collapsed and your family is a looter of its ruins.

>>40102127
Boah, ah seh, boah...

>>40102120
Like the thread so far mate! You did a good job!
What days you running and what time?
Are you going to keep the evo's dog/wolf focused hopefully?

>>40102104
There could be write-ins (primarily ones with romantic connotations) that he might like to include but which some portions of the fanbase - maybe the majority of the voters, maybe not - could be vehemently opposed to. It's fine in this case, but not every write-in that he likes would necessarily be fine in the future.

>>40102120
Thanks for running. Question how are you doing magic? RE:QM style or RE:LQ style? Or something different? How long do you think it'll take us to evo? Will we get some training before our trip?

>>40102120

It's looking pretty good thus far. Enjoyable, with fairly believable child characters and the sort of adorable high jinks that goes with that. Things are moving a little quick, but it's not too jarring. Keep it up.

>>40102120
Really enjoying the quest so far. You took care of the spacing issues with REQMs help so I'm happy about that. Keep up the good work. It looks like this is going to be an adorable and fun quest.

>>40102120
You started out rather shaky and awkward, like a newborn giraffe. I'm surprised that you seemed to be able to pull out of what seemed to be a nosedive.

Only real complaint is that 3 hours is a rather short session, especially for the opening session of a quest.
