[Quest Pack] [10 Quests] - ...and the quest begins!

[Daedalus]

Sotiris has yet to officially name this Quest Pack which is ongoing. The original thread disscussing it from the perspective of the first Quest was titled PBP with custom Heroes--descriptive, but not intended as a Quest Pack title. The first Quest, [general audience warning] Vanilla Rapist, became the PBP topic title by default.

Sotiris, feel free to retitle this topic if you have something else in mind.

Quest 4
Is that a long pit in the double corridor north of the entrance/exit?

Yes.

Did you really use a Polar Warbear outside of the fortress?!

Yes, but mine are more gently, they let heroes to defend themselves on the 2nd attack.
(oh, i forgot it)

6th QUEST

Heroic Testimony
“The long travel brought you to the Golden City, one of the richest cities in the East. But you not feel welcome here as the gates remain closed. 'Those gates won't open to rogues & thieves, but only to true heroes!' were the City Master's words. Go out there and prove your skills and bravery by slaying 12 monster types, including your previous quests too. Afterwards the gates will be opened wide for you.”

A. Heroes begin the quest from the “X” squares.
When they manage to kill 12 monster types (monsters from previous quests are included – but not the special ones) the central gate opens temporary and Zargon places the following 2 champions in front of it.
Warrior: B5 M2 A4 D4 (white shields) Mv8
Wizard: B3 M4 A2 D3 (white shields) Mv7 (Chaos Spells: Ball of Flame, Soothe, Mind Blast)
“Now you have to confront my Champions if you are to pass the gate as true heroes!”
The champions, also, can be placed on the board when all the monsters of the quest have been killed.

B. Those doors open simultaneously. Heroes discover it while opening it.

C. “Those 3 undead monsters are ghosts” and will not play unless they get attacked. They may pass through heroes/walls/furniture when moving. They inflict Mind damage instead of Body (through normal fight). A Hero may hit a ghost ONLY WHEN passing a Mind test by rolling 1 Red die. If he scores lower/equal to his M.P. he is able to attack, otherwise he loses his action phase. Heroes may also search a room with ghosts visible.
The chest is trapped with a poisonous dart (-1 B.P.). It contains a random Elf spell scroll + 1 Potion of Restoration.

D. The chest contains 100 gold coins.

E. The first hero who searches for treasure will find a Potion of Healing on the table.


Wandering Monster – roll 1 red die:
1=goblin, 2=orc, 3=fimir, 4=skeleton, 5=zombie, 6=mummy

Patroclus lost his hero (Orthos) in this quest and joined with another one of the same stats, Athos.

so the heroes must prove their worthy of the title hero by going out and murdering monsters for no other reason than to gain access to a city....
That isn't heroic. It would be self serving and the antithesis of heroic to go hunt down 'monsters' just because they are monsters. And it is the height of arrogance and smacks of privilege that the people behind the city gates won't open them until the heroes basically dance to their tune...

Seems to me that last quest needs a true motivation other than 'kill monsters so we believe you are a hero'. The people putting forth such requirements are villains and if the heroes follow such orders blindly...so are they.

[cynthialee]

After coffee I am still rather blown away by that last quest. It is not good motivation and I think the heroes should be allowed a chance to assault the city and take out the nobility that runs the place.
The people behind the gate are evil. There are dangers outside the city walls and to require fellow humans to remain outside is wrong minded and misguided.

Mentor should cast Meteor spells on that city!

Is it a magic door?
If so it would open without the need to kill extra monsters. The fact that it opens only after the monsters are assassinated means, it is enchanted so that it only opens to those who have danced to the tune of the gate guards flute, so to speak.
A true magic item that recognizes heroism, would not need proof. The measure of heroism is in a persons heart with or without a provable action. Thus the door should open without any required action.
The door as is, is a measure of how easily manipulated the heroes are.

[The Road Warrior]

The quest for was reasonably fun to play. The wide variety of monsters and tough finale against the warrior and wizard made it enjoyable. But I do have to admit that now we have been allowed inside the city I really want a to sack the place for being a inhabited by a complete bunch of arseholes! Maybe the next quest will reveal further reasoning for the city's dubious morals.

[Anderas]

Me too, the most fun thing now would be to smack the City governor until he resigns and allows for another governor to take his seat. We lost Orthos. And what for?

Apart from that, it was quite fun to play. My

[Sotiris]

Is it a magic door?

No, it opens by the guards who don't trust strangers.
Anyway, would you like to create a hero and join the party to find out what's happening behind the doors?

[cynthialee]

PbP is not my thing. I appreciate the offer. I truly do.
I am just happy to see the players above want to sack the city now. Town Guards deserve it after the city walls stunt...
