RPG lounge discussion thread

Actually, I was thinking that any NPC could just walk in and put up an announcement for a quest.

 

Do we have a name for the bar?

 

Yes. The Bar.

 

i expected as much

 

Oh, man. I'm about to explode with curiosity. The quest, the quest, the quest! I'm excited. =D

*runs around in circles asking "what's the quest?!" in an annoying, juvenile tone*

Well, no. But really, I'm curious. This is all new, and... man. A QUEST! xD

 

Do we have a specific location here? Center of the universe? Time space anomaly #1?

 

My vote is someone set up a bar and grill in C.S. Lewis's Wood-Between-The-Worlds.

 

@BTW, i definitely didnt even give me a chance to answer you, ive been asleep and at school. And i really wanted to seal her mouth shut.

 

@Honorius: My apologies. My character's a bit of an intolerable ass. Don't mind 'er. ;]

 

(If this is referring to something else, please excuse me)

Well, since you're so curious, I'll just post my idea here (note that this will be little more then a summery of a brainstorm):

A giant lizardman (or some other kind of brutish, alien beast) walks in through the entryway and tacks up an announcement on one of the billboards, reading something along the lines of:

Gor'trek's
BLOODBATH

Come witness the galaxy's finest warriors fight to the death in vicious free-for-all, one-on-one, and team deathmatch in the oldest, largest, and most revered arena in the known universe! Come witness the legends of the galaxy fight fearsome beasts from Gor'trek's own breeding grounds! Enjoyblahblahblah​

And then, unless you want to continue the advert, skip over to the part at the bottom, saying something along the lines of:

Think you've got what it takes to become Gor'trek's legendary champion? Simply visit your local Gor'trek's Bloodbath representative or see the registration desk in the northern hall of Gor'trek's arena. All participants welcome!​

Then the lizardman/whatever visits the bar, buys a drink, and notices Lagomorph. He asks the bartender about it, and gets an answer. He becomes curious and walks up to Lagomorph (almost unfazed by his cuteness) and gets a prompt display of Lagomorph's viciousness. He then asks for the pubmaster and asks him how much he wants for Lagomorph. If the pubmaster refuses to sell it, he pulls out a really big stack of cash and slams it on the table. He then takes Lagomorph to his spaceship (which is really big and has "Gor'trek's Bloodbath" written quite clearly on it) and waits for anyone interested in participating in the bloodbath and anyone who wants to go but doesn't have adequate transportation. Then, after a few in-game hours, he (along with the players who were interested) flies back to Gor'trek's arena. There the players are told in the registration room to sign a contract then told to head over to their new homes. After a while (anywhere from a hour or two to a day) they are told (rather roughly) to get their sorry asses to the training grounds. There it is revealed to them that they are now property of Gor'trek and must obey EVERY command given by a superior. If any resist, they are acquainted with the arena's pain deliverance device. The players then fall into a routine of training until they are deemed ready to fight in the actual arena. There they have a few battles before Gor'trek decides to have a Bloodbath match (where everyone currently ready to fight is put into a gigantic arena and must kill everyone else in an epic free-for-all. Last one standing wins the greatest prize available to combatants, being named Gor'trek's Champion) and everyone is sent in to kill each-other. You can do just that if you want, but somewhere before this an underground group of rebels (lead by humans) who want to break out of Gor'trek's slavery is revealed, and their going to use this Bloodbath to stage their great escape. You have the option of participating in this escape if you so wish. I'm also thinking of having the option of killing Gor'trek himself, but I'm not sure how to implement it (infiltration is certainly one option, though I'm also thinking of having another underground group or branch of the first group who wish to kill Gor'trek and end his arena once and for all). Of course, there's always the option of breaking out yourself, or reaching the title of Gor'trek's champion (though that doesn't mean you'll be free of his shackles), or do something completely left-field.

Also, why don't you make a character Dustin? Or are you too busy?

 

*gawks*

This is good. >=]

Very sadistic sounding, I'm impre--... Damn. The joy of gift shopping awaits me *rolls eyes*. Will be back to provide more praise, add to the RPG, and quest commentary. <_<;;

 

Sounds awesome. If Honorius participates though he's going to be way over powered. I think i'll refuse to sell the lagomorph (or something like that, Tim sells but i want a pet, something) and chase after the ship.

 

Alright! Back on this now. The quest sounds great. Totally epic. I've a feeling my char's going to be staying behind, though. I'm a bit of a weakling, someone needs to tend to the bar, and 'Archmagus Honorius' and 'Boss' wouldn't want a snide prick in the way xD.

Shame. =P

Wicked quest, though.

@Honorius; what if Tim doesn't wanna sell it either, and the alien thing just kinda... takes it? I dunno. I suppose it's up to you and Death. Just another idea.

 

Sounds good. Can we start whenever?

(It... might be a good idea to wait for Abc. It IS his quest. Or... I dunno how this works. I'm just really excited. =D)

 

I'd like to start the Bloodbath quest when we do it, but it seems that Deathblade has other plans.

 

Honorius of Thebes may know whatbyou're talking about, DB. but i dont... care to explain?

 

I will in due time, but I think since abc already said he wanted the first quest then we should give it to him. Universal time warp salvation can come at a later date.

 

Got it. could you send me a PM at least giving me a sparknotes guide as to what i might reply? cause all i have right now is "you should stop watching CSI before bed"

 

wow, that's, that's real nice of you Honor, and I don't watch CSI, I watch NCIS, big difference!

 

Just saying, its hard to reply when i dont know what you're talking about

 

I'm just jking man, anyways, I won't be around tomorrow cuz I've got a date and stuff. I'll at least be around for tonight I'd say somewhere around 5:30-6:00, so I'll check back in later.

 

Mkay, changed setting to bar front. Abc can take the chance and have the alien-thing come in now, or his character can growl and me, and lizard man's entrance can be postponed. Whatever floats his boat (since he did want to start it...).

Enjoy your date tomorrow, DB. ;]

 

thanks BTH, but even then not really sure I could call it a date, I just asked her to hang out, so I guess it would just be friends hangning out getting to know one another. We really don't care what we do, so we're just gonna wing it.

 

Still sounds good. You'll have fun. We'll try to keep the lounge together while you're gone.
