You are an apprentice wizard. You have been tasked by your master, the mighty Bupparbo, to scale the 50 floors of the Tower of Procandran and retrieve the Orb of Tebaal. But beware: the capricious Procandran was known for his lack of creativity and love of randomly generated encounters.
Prepare yourself for an onslaught of thematically incoherent tricks, traps, and challenges!

You stand at the base of the tower.

You can cast the following spells:
>Heat Ray: Makes stuff hot. You can control how much heat is added.
>Cold Ray: Does the opposite.
>Summon Food: Create a small amount of any food or drink.
>Summon Animal: Create a small creature to do your bidding. Lasts for about a minute before vanishing in a puff of smoke.
>Magic Hand: A big hand of magical energy picks up stuff, pulls levers, throws rocks, etc. Decent range, not very strong.
No cooldown, no limitations, but if you do too many spells too quickly, you start getting tired.

As a wizard, your physical skills are nil. You're basically a wet paper bag.

The powerful MUSCLE WIZARD is a classic for those who wish to balance physical and mental strength. This subclass engenders hard work, dedication, and the all-encompassing focus on GAINZ.

For those inclined towards the unsavory, the skulking SKIN WIZARD provides. Those walking the path of the skin can shed their appearance at will and disguise themselves as anybody, anyone, and leave no trace - save for a trail of dead bodies.

But even they speak in hushed tones of the BONE WIZARD. These necrotic sorcerers have the power to manipulate the forces of life and death itself. But stuck between this realm and the next, they are cursed to an eternal wretched existence.

You sit down at the table and ask the goblins to deal you in. They hesitate, loath to share the table with a lumbering smelly humie.

>>5486512
You consider summoning hot goblin chicks to placate them, but goblins are a little too big to be summonable. Instead, you conjure up a cute little goblin spider, which seems to have a similarly calming effect upon its bigger, greener kin.

The goblins are playing a game of Snake Oil. It's a bit like Cards Against Humanity.
One player is the customer: in this case, a Ninja. The other players have six item cards, and assemble a product from two of those cards, such as a "Robot Towel" or an "Oil Rope".
Then, each player provides a short sales pitch of their item to the customer: "As an ATHLETE, you're exercising 24/7. Stretching, lifting, jogging, it's all so exhausting, not to mention the wear and tear on your joints. What you need is a pair of COFFEE SHOES! The patented hot coffee cushioning reduces stress on your knees and even keeps those toes warm in the winter. And when you need a pick-me-up, just take 'em off and chug 'em down!"

What do?

>>5486539
> As a NINJA you carry a lot of metallic weapons around, which you don't want to be caught with. So you need a MAGNET KIT. Dew the magnets in your clothes and hide your weapons."

A FASHION NINJA like you needs a MAGNETIC SHOVEL KIT! It will allow you to scale walls, rid your victims of their red JUICE and even bury the bodies afterwards! Order now for a complimentary bar of SOAP to get all this pesky blood off your hands!
>>
>>5486572
You can only use two cards for snake oil

>>5486539
As a NINJA you need to squeeze into the tightest places to secure your stealthy entrance. So you need SOAP JUICE, to squeeze you cleanly through those difficult gaps!

JUICE KIT is a perfect piece of equipment for a NINJA. Inside the KIT is various magical JUICES that not only taste even better than COFFEE, but can give better magical effects. One JUICE can give that burst of energy, another can make your NINJA self even more stealthy.

You melt the snowman anyway because you want to teach it a lesson in semantics.

>>5486967
You consider delivering an ironic death to this snowman, but then you remember that coal is neither a food nor an animal. Also you realize that it wouldn't be an ironic death, it'd be a thematic death. It would be ironic if the snowman was begging you for a piece of coal or else it would die, or something.

You use your magic hand to pry off the 5, allowing you to illegally acquire the other 43 floors without paying a dime. You've been kind of a dick for most of this adventure, so it's in character for you not to seed.

>>5487012
Contrary to popular belief, the mini mario is not its own species; rather, it's just a power-up form of the common mario (Homo nintendonus). You can only summon animals that stay small throughout their entire life cycles.

Finally, some loot!
You see here a pedestal, upon which an orb of chaotic magical energy is enshrined. Touching the orb will allow you to absorb the energy and gain a new spell.
However, if you or another a living being touches the orb, guillotine blades will drop down and chop off your hands.

You could trigger the trap by throwing a rabbit at the orb or something... but then the rabbit would get the spell instead.

You have to actually touch the orb physically to get its benefits, so your magic hand won't help.

The way is blocked by a heaping pile of keys, only one of which unlocks the door up ahead. Another door slams shut behind you, and vents in the ceiling start releasing carbon dioxide into the air.

It'll be a while before the CO2 levels start getting high enough to affect you, but you definitely don't have time to fish through every single one of these keys.

The doors are made of the same physically-resistant stone as the walls and floors of the tower.

There's a thin gap between the see-saw and the wall. It's big enough to let the see-saw drop, but not for you to squeeze through.

You also remember that your staff is supposed to have a Jenga-size chunk taken out of it, the absence of which you presume to be an artist error.

First, think of that irritating puzzle from Half Life 2 No matter how many times people praise this game you will never enjoy it with its stupid guns and junkyard scrapheap aesthetics.

Then to save the QM having to draw a wizard staff with a Jenga piece cut out of it, you must destroy your staff. Completely cut it up into small brick pieces (use heat ray).

Then use a lot of cold ray onto each brick piece of the broken staff until each accumulates huge amounts of icicles and frost and becomes an Ice Wedge.

Gradually move the Ice Wedges one by one until the seesaw tilts towards the exit

The reason why you move the ice brick wedges gradually piece by piece is to avoid the seesaw becoming suddenly unbalanced and the boulder crushing you like pic rel

You're entitled to not like it, but I think it's kind of necessary: when there's one obstacle and like a dozen different proposed solutions, any solutions that can't be easily combined need to fail or be ignored. This QM likes to use everybody's input, so I think failure is the only outcome sometimes.
>>
>>5505207
See, Angel Quest never felt punishing, because it was all absurd, all made up and most things worked even if they didn't contribute to the plot moving on. Here there are some obligatory rules you're supposed to circumvent, but since QM insists on shoving everything in there, even if we find something that should work perfectly fine, QM often has to say "actually no, because there's this thing I did not tell you about, that makes your idea instantly fail" and it fucking SUCKS. It's not a good idea to implement votes just to make them fail miserably.

>>5505461
Sure, and I think "maybe the QM shouldn't take every suggestion" is a fair criticism. (I don't personally have a problem with it, but I can see why people might.)

Test the power of the rival Gunmage and his ballistomancy by asking him to derive the expression of the path length of a parabolic projectile trajectory arc

L = ((v0)^2 / 2g) * (2sin theta + (cos^2 theta) * ln ((1+sin theta) / (1-sin theta)))
= ((v0)^2 / 2g)*(sin theta + (cos^2 theta)*arctanh(sin theta))

from evaluating the arc length integral between initial displacement and final horizontal range of the projectile

L=integral from 0 to horizontal range (
sqrt(1+(dy/dx)^2) dx )

where horizontal range is given by
d=((v0)^2)*(sin (2*theta))/g

Then there is the Josselyn 1866 chain revolver (maybe 20 rounds?) A fictional version of this gun present in the videogame Hunt: Showdown, the Caldwell Conversion.

Through visual analysis comparing the lengthened revolver cylinder to the barrel I have identified the revolver as the Brazilian Taurus Judge (see pic related evidence) that actually carries 5 shotgun .410 shells.

This weapon was notably used by Mark Wahlberg in the toilet gunfight scene of the Max Payne film adaptation (please see pic related)

So this Gunmage is probably either Mark Wahlberg, or Max Payne, he may possess bullet time abilities. He is probably very angry about how there have been no available toilet facilities for 22 floors of this tower now

>weld trigger etc
That is not a bad idea anon but I have a feeling the Gunmage ballistomancy can pull a trigger faster than the time taken to sinter the metals of trigger to frame or springs etc together. Also if the Gunmage really is Max Payne he may be able to stop time or use slow motion bullet time abilities

I also noticed the very poor firearm grip and shooting stance of this Gun Wizard. I compiled a helpful graphic of techniques (please see pic related)

Firstly we have the Harries or tactical high torch / flashlight police grip, this is very adaptable for wielding a shotgun revolver in one hand and a wand or wizard staff in the other.

There are typical Isoceles and Weaver shooting stances, the Weaver one depicted is very common in films and videogames.

Then there is the canted CAR centre axis relock stance, it is a CQB grip where the handgun is cradled fairly close at an angle to the body. You may have seen this in some of the Splinter Cell games and I believe Keanu Reeves uses some variant in John Wick. Not sure if this is adaptable for a wizard, unless they are a muscle wizard, maybe only if they are performing martial arts?

There is of course gun kata from Christian Bale or Batman in Equilibrium. It is mostly triggered by emotion suppressing drugs and attempting to shoot his beloved pet dog (did the John Wick film steal this?) as well as killing Ned Stark / Boromir except he did get to read a fairly good WB Yeats poem in the film. This gun kata technique perhaps represents the pinnacle of refinement in my opinion.

Finally there is James McAvoy demonstrating the shooting stance of screaming and flailing his arms wildly whilst opening fire and trying to bend the path of a bullet so that it somehow curves around and misses Angelina Jolie in that Wanted film

>>5507627
>>5507634
if he cannot do it he must forfeit his cool gun and let you pass.

2/ if the Gun Wizard is actually Mark Wahlberg or Max Payne from the shotgun revolver toilet gunbattle scene,
>>5508123
empathise with the annoying lack of lavatory facilities in the tower, you can sympathetically relate to this, he will just let you pass

3/ Explain to the Gun Wizard that his poor shooting stance has brought shame and disgrace to the order of Ballistomancy, show him the diagram here
>>5508157
and encourage him to improve and practice superior shooting stances. If he immediately attempts one of the advanced moves like gun kata or that last one he will probably end up shooting himself in the groin. Otherwise just slip past him whilst the Gun Wizard is distracted and practices all these cool gun poses.

All invisible matter within 100 yards becomes permanently visible.
Your intelligence drops to 3 for 12 hours.

Mark Wahlberg, most notably in the scene where he shoots a bunch of toilet stalls and causes roughly $3150 in property damage.

>>5508157
You follow up by instructing him on proper gunfighting stance. Holding a gun like that won't let him control the recoil; he needs to shift his feet so that the force gets redirected into the ground, like so. You even leave him with a handy diagram of shooting stances from popular films.

The rival wizard is astounded by your superior firearm knowledge, and you quickly gain his trust.

Once, I had been taken to see some ghastly waxwork at the Fair, representing I know not what impossible personage lying in state.

The way is blocked by a variety of magically-animated sliding blocks. Some are spiked, some are not, all threaten to crush you into paste at breakneck speeds.

What do?

Recognise the apotropaic eyes on these fiendish crushing spike weighted blocks, clearly the Eye Of Horus mytheme,
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Horus
this requires a magical disguise:

1/ summon either a falcon (Horus) or baboon (Thoth) and command it to sit on your head, this will convince the trap that you are a sympathetic deity or Horus its creator and should not be harmed.

I was a bit puzzled here when I saw that the QM had painstakingly taken the effort to draw the Eye Of Horus on every one of those trap blocks,
>>5515850
perhaps it refers to some platform jumping videogame of which I am unaware or have not seen before?

At least I assume they are eyes, maybe the eyes are intended to help the puzzle blocks detect any intruders?

The way is blocked by some sort of enormously fat creature, sound asleep.
Its impenetrable blubber renders it immune to damage, and not even a whack in the face will rouse it from its slumber.

What do?
>>
Strongly tempted to summon Sir Lemmiwinks to handle this.

Instead, summon some atomic hot sauce and some celery. Using welding, create a celery aqueduct and pour the atomic hot sauce into the creature's mouth from a safe distance.

If that fails to work, tickle it with a feather from a summoned bird to get it to roll over.

The drowsiness of the fat creature could be due to postprandial somnolence or a food coma, but I suspect the sleepiness can also arise from copious copulation, or the lethargy and slumber that follows from too much desire, overstimulation / arousal and "self-comfort".

The sorcellerie of French culture is too powerful. I cower behind the obese bulk of my favourite famous Frenchman Gerard Depardieu from Russia, Zherar Depardyo. It was very sad when his son's leg fell off. At least Gerard Depardieu had a brief cameo in that Le Hussard sur le toit film, which illustrates the arousal / post-coitus sleepiness phenomenon described above.

Frantically wiki this and react with predictable dismay and shockedFace at South Park propaganda that the self-claimed libertarian creators would characterise wikileaks as an anus gerbil. The anonymous hacker known as 4chan is already in prison, he cannot hurt you anymore!

Maybe the wikileaks disclosure of rectal feeding, sleep deprivation and terrible music playlists as torture techniques will be able to rouse this smug sleeping pokemon argh nooo from its slumber.

If this fails try to loudly sing some death metal sleep deprivation torture music to wake up the pokemon

>Lemmiwinks makes his genuine re-appearance in "Bass to Mouth" as a child's pet. It is revealed that he is the younger brother of a computer hacker rat named Wikileaks, who was posting humiliating and degrading stories of all the students in South Park Elementary. The ghostly animals from Mr. Slave's digestive system appear to Lemmiwinks to stop Wikileaks and needed the students to get him out. Lemmiwinks finally stops his older brother from posting a story that would destroy the reputation of South Park Elementary forever by killing him.

Wow, I already have that exact music video saved somewhere lol, it is incredible. French synthwave musicians Carpenter Brut and Perturbator are so amazing!

Maybe that is the song that could be performed to wake up the sleeping fat creature?

Russian Depardieu is a reference to this article, where the famous (now fat and obese) actor renounced his French passport back in 2013 and became a Russian citizen; his son did also lose his leg after a car accident, I believe.

>L'acteur Gérard Depardieu, qui a reçu la citoyenneté russe par décision de Vladimir Poutine, est arrivé samedi 5 janvier à Sotchi, sur les bords de la Mer Noire pour rencontrer le président russe, et a reçu son nouveau passeport, a confirmé dimanche le porte-parole du Kremlin.

I always liked the Wesley Snipes Blade (1998) ultraviolet light scene (pic related)

but sadly the QM seems to suggest that the fat creature's
>>5520267
>impenetrable blubber
is immune to all assault, presumably heating/cooling etc, hence why I suggested loud sleep deprivation music. Not sure if tickling counts, but the spicy sauce trick might work.

Kek. I was referencing a series of books where medieval Rus(sia) was a poor, cold, muddy and hostile shithole ruled by a bunch of degenerate madmen and populated with uncivilized peasants. On top of that it had fucking paganism, black magic, witches (not only unburned, but respected and seeked for their magic) and deadly horror swamps, because it was faaaar the fuck away from Rome (or what could be considered a civilization), so not even Holy Inquisition had a say in there.

WQM flaked Western Quest(ern) and the Alien Prison Ship because they were complex, monotonous and required a lot of effort to update.

Maybe we should start calling him a faggot like he asked?

I am not saying he isn't busy right now, but I do think the desire to flake gets worse when you're away from /qst/. And again, he asked for it.
APS was great when other characters were around (especially Garnash), but once we had to just walk through corridors, it kind of fell apart. I also wish we could get back on Loretta and shoot someone's head off like civilized people, even in this shitpost format.

I was also quite intrigued by the oneiromantic dream manipulation idea of this anon,
>>5520817
to somehow psychoanalytically coax or shame the sleeping creature into a certain course of action.

However what Christopher Nolan taught us in his films is that buried deep in the dreams of all individuals is not some Oedipal guilt-shame mechanism, the unspeakable Freudian murder taboo of killing fathers and copulation with mothers, but instead a corporate-looking videogame level that winter snow military base from Call Of Duty

Reports of my death have been moderately exaggerated.

>>5520638
>>5520662
You do that.

I hate to admit it, but the reason I haven't been keeping up with updates is because of the high volume of responses. I don't like leaving peoples' decisions out, but this was also a problem in Filler Quest, Angel Quest, etc., where letting responses pile up made it increasingly difficult to update.
I'm not gonna tell you to stop playing the quest, of course, but I think I'm going to have to just... not draw all of the posts like I've been doing. I'll probably just give one-liner text replies to anything that isn't the canonical solution.

Also, I 100% intend to finish all of my quests, including this one, APSQ, and WQ (eventually). APSQ was at a standstill because I ran out of ideas, but now I have an actual plan to finish it off, and it should be done by the next thread. (And if not, an asteroid will blow up the ship and everyone on it just before the thread falls off page 10.)

I need to sleep now, so I'll make a new Wizard Tower thread tomorrow.
