Pity you don't have any healing items... you know stuff that would be useful in a dungeon with deadly traps and monsters. Maybe you should have thought of that hmm?
>>
No. 431240 ID: d8f016

The answer is to push all the buttons at once. Lay down on the panel, you big baby.

You may want to take a moment to bind your wound. If you lack bandages, remember you're wearing clothes, and you have claws and a knife.

Don't try anything till we've finished arguing the puzzle though. It's possible you're supposed to push two buttons at the same time. As in, make a couplet.

Yes check the bag, maybe it'll have the healing items you forgot to bring. With your luck that stabber was poisoned. If multiple people have failed this puzzle it might have been soaking in blood for a while and thats just as dangerous.

okay okay
I tear off the cuff of my right sleeve and make a pretty shoddy bandage for my new stigmata.
Simply protecting the wound from the elements seems to have lessened the pain, if only because I now can't see how much it should hurt.
I can think straight now.

>>431244
I'd rather not press the other buttons in ANY way until I'm sure of the answer. The trap might not be the same.

>>431271
Being caught with a healing device of any kind would have been very suspicious. They are very expensive and no one carries one around without good reason. I DID have a good reason to carry one around, but I didn't want anyone to know that, did I?

No. 431442 ID: d8f016

If we only have to push 1 button, then there are 3 possible combinations (and we've tried 1). If we have to push 2 at once, that's another 3 combinations. 3 at once is unlikely, since it's hard to do simultaneously.

Or... we have to press the buttons in an exact sequence of unknown length- and the traps go off as soon as you hit a miss-key, instead of waiting till the end of the sequence. Which actually makes it easier to guess. So it's probably not that.

If the traps are all the same, we could pretty easily brute force the puzzle with bone button pushing. There's only 6 static combinations to try, and a sequence would be easy to figure out. Too bad you're too afraid of getting maimed to do it.

No. 431444 ID: 299ed3

Crap, I didn't see the part about being too scared to press the buttons, then my guess would be press dove and pidgeon because they are from the same family of bird.

Are you sure cuckoo wasn't the right answer? It really seems like it would be the right answer. Perhaps you should try pressing it again.

I go grab the two arms off the rude skeleton from the orb room.
I'm planning on whacking both buttons with the two arms at the same time, and hope a trap doesn't tear out my spleen or something.

Okay, I leave the rude arms by the chest and move over to the statues.

I flinch quite sharply, expecting the sound of blades rushing through air and severe pain.

But nothing painful happens.
A sound simply comes from each statue.
coo!
coo!
coo!

It's a very convincing imitation of a real bird, and I spend a brief moment wondering how it was engineered. But I've got more important things to do.
As best as I can tell, the "coo!"s were all different pitches; The pigeon being the lowest, and the dove being the highest.

No. 431509 ID: d8f016

Nice. What's inside the chest?

Poke around inside the chest first with your decoy arm before taking anything out, to check for more traps. It should be safe, but I mean, come on, the people who built this place left pun puzzles. They're obviously dicks.

I can't trust anything made by such devilish engineers, so I'll make sure to inspect the inside of this chest with one of the rude skeleton arms before I grab anything.

Hmm, looks all clear to me.

The chest contains a key, and several pieces of gold.

As I open the door, the key sticks in the lock, and I am faced with a vast open cavern.
I am standing on a small V-shaped platform, with only darkness below me, hiding the distant cavern floor. A ways off from the V platform is another small platform, hard to see in the darkness. It's definitely too far away to jump across to.

No. 431910 ID: d8f016

Well, examining other rooms to see if you missed anything when stumped by a puzzle is kind of standard procedure.

However, I'm not sure there's anything we saw you could use to bridge the gap. There was the wood, but that's guarded by an angry dire-termite thing, probably eaten by now, and not long enough anyways.

I don't suppose the pillar you found us on can be rotated? I'm thinking if we can rotate the floor in the pit room, an arm of the V could be made to serve as a bridge, instead of a ledge.

But firstly, no, the pillar doesn't rotate in any way, it's pretty damn rigid.

I'll go check the creepy termite's room now.

> "Ay maaate! Whatcha' doin' back her' now? Hope ya' rememberin' to stay away from mah wood!"

The termite seems to be a pretty slow eater, he probably savoring every bite or something.
Weird.

He still hasn't got onto the two planks yet, and has them laying neatly side by side on the floor.

I've got a bad feeling.
>>
No. 431919 ID: d8f016

I'm not sure fighting him for the wood is a good idea. Neither piece looks long enough to bridge the gap, and you have no good way to connect the boards. Plus you'd be forced to use your off hand, and he claims to have scary summoning powers (though that could be a bluff).

You could ask him if he knows anything about the puzzle? Or maybe we could get him to eat the locked door for you.

Battle music go!

Okay, he appears to have a tough carapace or exoskeleton. That means using a flimsy skeletal arm as an improved bashing implement will be ineffective. You want to switch to your dagger.

Watch out for the teeth and horns. You best bet is to try and land a penetrative stab in the head into the brain (from above and behind, or below), or a hit on the central torso. Be warned with a dagger you don't have much of a reach advantage, and he's probably more of a risk to you in close combat than vice versa.

Among mundane termites, the warrior caste is capable in some species of emitting toxins. There's even a species capable of an explosive self destruct! I don't know if any of this applies to giant crazy talking termites, but be wary of the possibility.

If he can summon allies, there will be some kind of casting delay. If he attempts to cast a spell, it is imperative you interrupt him before he finishes.

lay one plank across the ends of the v, then lay a plank between the middle of the first plank and our destination.

Shorter plank goes across the gap in the "V," and the longer plank goes from the middle of the shorter plank to the other side. No rope or nails to hold it together, so crawl across slowly and with the utmost care.

erk, sorry folks, but I just don't think I have the confidence and motivation to do this.

I'll sum up what I had planned though:
Lucair crosses the pit (you guys had the solution right) and finds himself on a pillar in the center of the large cavern. He reveals that this cavern is directly underneath the capital of the kingdom from which he was usurped as king. He then opens the pack and reveals the contents... A small nuclear bomb.
It turns out this world contains traces of a previous civilization, similar to ours but more advanced.
After being usurped, Lucair formed what was essentially a terrorist organisation to get revenge on those who betrayed him. He and his "colleagues" spent many years searching for a powerful enough weapon, a NUKE for example. They found it, do some crazy heist shit and Lucair arrives at where this story began.
As it is obvious that Lucair is on a suicide mission, I was EXPECTING that suggesters would talk him out of it. He would provide exposition on his motivations, who usurped him, and why.
He explains that his kingdom was the most forward moving and accepting in the know world, clearly displayed by the fact that it's king was a gnoll. All species live without prejudice (for the most part). Humans weren't even a majority, just another species of many.
Then a group of dickhead humans come and typically fuck shit up. They are disgusted by the social standing of humans (not on top) and the fact that the king is but a gnoll.
And so they begin their mission of "purifying" the kingdom of all "lesser" species. The majority of the humans were seduced by the natural greed for power present in their minds and were converted to the cause. And so begins a revolution. It took many years, so long in fact that no one even noticed it was happening until it was too late. Lucair, now referred to as the beast king, is usurped and exiled along with all others that could threaten the new human King Lavandaria. The smarter and more powerful species are cast out or killed. The others stay as lower class citizens or as slaves.

And so after (presumably) being talked out of the suicide mission by the voices in the orb, Lucair attempts to escape before the nuke goes off. Using a key found nearby, He opens the last door in the dungeon. The room beyond appears to be a dead end corridor, but it's not hard to find that the back wall is a fake. Lucair breaks through the thin wall and discovers the ruins of an ancient subway station. Searching a skeleton and a one-person nuclear bunker (like the ones in fallout 3) yields a radiation suit, a Geiger counter and some kind of portal device. The portal device takes the following inputs:

Longitude
Latitude
Altitude
Pitch
Yaw
Roll
Snap to Surface (ON/OFF)

Lucair is only vaguely aware of these terms and relies on help from the voices in the orb. Donning the radiation suit, he uses the portal device and emerges somewhere on the surface. The portal device is depleted of whatever it runs on.
Of course, the portal is still up and doesn't seem to be going away, so now Lucair has to RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN because of the impending nuclear explosion that is sure to pass through the portal. He only survives because of the rad suit, but the area surrounding the portal is heavily affected by radioactive fallout and dust. Also the capital of his old kingdom caves into the the cavern below it and absolutely obliterated. Most of kingdom is affected by radiation.
Lucair is feeling pretty shitty right now, having been unaware of how much collateral damage the bomb would cause. But the voices in the orb do what they do best and inspire him to get past the fact that he just killed hundreds of people and doomed many others to various slow deaths due to radiation poisoning.
The rest of the quest is pretty loosely planned and would be similar to the style of Divequest and KnightsBlades.
Lucair building a new kingdom and whatnot.


So uhh, what do you guys think?
Who knows, if you actually like it I might try again.

first we need to find the root of your sudden loss in confidence and motivation. otherwise it will happen again.

Damn it i was enjoying this quest, and from what you had planned it would have been fun trying to rebuild the kindom while abusing the orbs knowlege of forgotten technology.

Would it have been possible to convince Lucair NOT to bomb the city? And then we could have tried taking back control like the humans did it. Slowly amassing support and trying to stay hidden from the state. Until finally we would have enough allies in high enough places to try a coup.
Too bad you lacked motivation and confidence.

Also i liked the numerous gifs.

I hate the gifs.
I honestly don't know why I keep making myself do them. They're a pain, and make a huge mess of my Photoshop files.
But I just keep forcing myself to suffer them.
WHY
AM I SOME KIND OF MASOCHIST

To make it clear, I don't have confidence in the art and FUN factors. I keep making the art style too hard to quickly replicate and get really anal about the quality.
My DREEAAAM would be to be able to be satisfied with crude weaver-esque doodles, because I know that would make telling this story a lot easier.
I guess I've got some kind of shitty artistic pride.

Is this thread just turning into my bitch thread, christ.
And I honestly didn't know anyone was enjoying it, pffft.

Also, while the idea of Lucair forming a revolution from within the city sounds pretty cool, I don't think he wants anything to do with the place anymore.

Other than to blow it up of course.

This is no longer consul the whiney wolf king quest. This is now consul the author quest! In a meta-quest, you'll follow our commands, instructions and advice for making a que... wait we already did that one.

>spoilers spoilers spoilers
Well, if he was on a suicide mission, his leaving the gold behind makes more sense now.

I wouldn't have assumed we'd talk him down though. Yes, that seems like the kind of thing we'd do. Personally, I would have berated him for the obvious hypocrisy and betrayal of a king destroying his own people. Or maybe even dared him to do it- since he's been fun to antagonize. But you can't count on us to play along with plans. Like the portal gun? I doubt we would have gone strait for the exit. We probably would have tried to do something clever with it (like trapping the bomb in a zero-distance portal loop to contain it) or experimented, burning the one charge.

I'm reading these posts on my quest, and I never even realized anyone liked it.

I really want to tell a story, and let people interact with it. I think it would be fun, and I think I would be good at it.

But time after time I fail to keep my mojo about me.

My most recent failure was CleanseQuest.
I simply lost confidence in the story and motivation to do the art.

But all is not lost.

If I can find a way to not just recover my mojo, but also prevent it from happening again...
CleaseQuest may return.
Or I might even start something better.
So lets go and try do this quest, aye?


I'm sitting at my computer, tgchan is open and I'm looking at my CleanseQuest thread.
What do I do?



oh my god WHAT AM I DOING

Start procrastinating by browsing 4chan and IRC.
After that start planning a new quest. Something that has not been done before, like a quest about a coward or something.

Google "mojo juice". See if there's a supplement, stimulant, or illegal quest-author performance enhancing substance you can order from shady totally reputable sources online.

4chan? Ew, no way.
Ain't going anywhere near that crazy shit pile hullabaloo.
I also don't frequent IRC.
At all.
Got no problem with it though.

So instead I indulge in more meta.

>After that start planning a new quest.
Are you sure?
I was hoping to get CleanseQuest back up on it's feet. You know, stick with it, get it done. People seem to be enjoying it.
I just need to come up with a way of being able to do it in a way that requires the least amount of effort possible because I really am just a lazy fart.

Oh hey look there's some Mojo Juice bars right here in Australia.
Aw dang, there over in Adelaide and the Gold Coast, too far away.

I don't think that's the right kind of mojo either.

Hmm yeah, I'm lookin'

>What got you motivated to start CleanseQuest?
First I decided to re-read RubyQuest, then re-read NanQuest, then I went to DiveQuest then KnightsBlades then JourneyQuest then CheeQuest and now TozolQuest.
Also a lot of smaller ones in between.

Reading quests makes me want to make my own, simple as that. I start reading them, and soon enough I'm thinking up a story.
