I CAST FIST

epic quest 10/10 would play again

>>18816942

You are a sapling in a meadow.

>WATDO?

I photosynthesize.

>>18816996
This! Fucking this!

>>18816996
Your photosynthesis provides enough energy to grow into a pole.

>WATDO?

>>18816914
Rock Quest was better.

>>18817017
spontaneously become a huge, mighty tree

>>18817017
>spawn an acorn
(or relevant seed depending on what type of tree I am)
I wish to give the phrase "the green tide" a new meaning

>>18817031
The much more superior quest was paper quest.

>>18817031
>>18817064
The years pass and you become a mighty oak. You also start dropping acorns, which are carried all over the meadow by animals.

More years pass, centuries even. You are now a forest.

>WATDO?

>>18817099
Gain sentience and become an ent.

>>18817099

What's in our inventory?

>>18817099
Get chopped down and replaced by a housing estate.

>>18817114

THIS!

tree quest without sexy druid rituals - for shame /tg/, for shame.

>>18817065
Scissor quest master race reporting. Paper quest blows.

>>18817114

Sounds good.

>>18817114
>>18817139
One night a sect of druids comes to your original oak. They begin chanting and dancing around you in the moonlight. You feel...something... You can't quite grasp what it is. It's almost as if you're thinking! They druids eventually stop their ritual and depart the forest.

>>18817118
You have:
- leaves
- acorns
- branches
- a woodpecker
- three woodpecker eggs

>>18817187
Attempt to move.

>>18817187

Devour woodpecker.

>>18817187
can we talk to the woodpecker?

>>18817099
Attack Isengard during the War of the Ring.

Fucking railroading

>>18817215
Shoulda saved that comment for when we get chopped down to make railway sleepers.

>>18817187
>>18817199
You attempt to TreeTalk to the woodpecker. It doesn't respond. Woodpeckers are terrible conversationalists.

>>18817194
You attempt something you've never tried before. MOVEMENT. You urge one of your roots to move. It eventually does. Of course this took place over the course of a week.

The druids return again and do their ritual then once again depart.

Why do I have to start as a sapling? Can't I start as a seed and choose where to grow?
CHOO CHOO

>>18817187
Is it a woodpecker as in the bird or do we have a 'wood pecker'?

>>18817233

Contemplate contemplation.

>>18817233
Attempt to move faster.

>>18817235
Because were a fucking ent now.
>>18817233
Try to talk with the druids next time they come.

Is there a river or large water source near?
We should extend our roots toward that water source.

>>18817233
>>18817242
You begin to contemplate the forest. Then you realize you have never contemplated before and begin contemplating contemplation. It's very surreal.

>>18817245
Over the course of a few weeks you continue flexing your roots, you slowly gain more and more ambulation. You're eventually able to move a few feet to the east.

Some of the druids look confused by this, measuring the distance from your trunk to the other trees before shaking their heads and continuing with the ritual.

>>18817255
You attempt to TreeTalk with the druids. Their leader seems to react to you, looking around with a confused face, but he does not respond directly.

>>18817256
There is a river to the east. It's the direction you have been moving in so far.

>>18817305
Attempt to form one of our branches into a manipulator. Move towards the river.

>>18817305

Attempt movement with both our roots and our branches. Again to the east but let us shift our branches to collect more sunlight.

try to treetalk to other trees.

>>18817330
A novel concept occurs to you. Multi-tasking! In addition to moving your roots, you also begin moving your branches!
>>18817331
You continue to move further and further. Your new ability to move your branches serves you well as you're able to move them into the position >>18817333
to best absorb sunlight. You've been using more energy these past few weeks than ever before in your life.

>>18817333
You attempt TreeTalking with the other trees. They only respond in simple words and phrases. "More water." "More sunlight!" "It's cold!"

(What the fuck have you done to me /tg/? I only responded as a joke to anon saying he'd play again and now suddenly I'm running EntQuest.)

>>18817402
We have brought out your inner storyteller.

Attempt to make our roots more muscular. Attempt to become better at talking to other beings.

>>18817402
I know that feel

>>18817402

Quests are infectious, especially when started as a joke.

Anyway let us work on improving our movement again maybe getting a pair of manipulating branches.

Practice moving our branches back and forth, one at a time, until we start getting good enough to be faster at it.

Also,, drop acorns and leaves and stuff until we get a rough idea of how lon it takes for them to fall.

Use our newfound cognizance to start formulating an understanding of mathematics.

>>18817443
A new idea occurs to you, they just keep coming! If you can move, you don't need to worry about maintaining a balance of nutrients in your soil. You begin sucking up everything you can! Your growth accelerates, you begin moving faster and faster!
>>18817447
>>18817469
You continue exercising your branches. To the druids it is all to obvious something is going on. You're quite a ways away from the spot where you stood rooted for centuries. They begin coming every night instead of weekly.

Their leader begins gesturing and making loud noises as all the others look on each night. You continue your attempts to treetalk to him. You manage to get a vague understanding of what he is saying to the others. Something about "gods", "mother earth", "devotion", "miracles".

>>18817560
Focus on improving our conversation ability. See if we can talk to any animals as well as the druids; perhaps we could bribe a squirrel with infinite acorns.

>>18817560

Try to form a branch into a hand like structure reaching down to where the druids are.

>>18817560
Keep treetalking to the guy, Alternate the concept of "mother" and an image of ourselves until he gets i- shit. Do we have a self image yet?

>>18817560

Test the limits of our limb mobility with some sweet flexing.

Tree talk to the other trees, and don't shut up about any little thought that crosses our, uh, mind. We made 'em, we can fucking well make 'em sentient.

FONDLE DRUIDESSES

>>18817598
That damn woodpecker still continues to ignore your attempts to communicate. It's recently hatched children however... They're far more responsive. They're young though. Young by bird standards, nevermind yours. Their conversations are only slightly more engaging than those with your fellow trees, but your persist.
>>18817600
You have occasionaly 'seen' the druids greet each other with their strangely shaped upper branches. You begin trying to reform one of your lower branches into a similar shape.

>>18817604
You continue TreeTalking to the druid leader during his sermons. Constantly pushing your thoughts into his and his into yours. Your understanding of their DruidTalk increases. You come to the conclusion that they think of you as some sort of higher being that should be worshiped and served. The druid leader makes claims to the others that he has hears your guiding words!

>>18817627
You grow lonely. A strange concept you have never considered before now. You begin TreeTalking all your thoughts to the other trees in a nearly constant stream, even if their responses aren't very articulate.

>>18817709
Attempt to form an unusually complex structure. Sculpt the end of one of our branches into a bird shape, with wings made of leaves.

>>18817709
Begin by referring to the other trees as "child" or "descendant" since they technically are all from our acorns.

>>18817709

Attempt to improve our sight.

>>18817709
Practice fine control of our branches - attempt to wave at and greet the druids

>>18817709
Contact made!

Start trying to reach out to the rest of the druids. Nothing complex, just a sort of "hi, we see you too" vibe.

>>18817709

Attempt to reach down and pick some small object up with one of our branches.

>>18817728
You decide to begin teaching your children. Teaching those around you all the strange ideas and concepts that have been occurring to you recently.

>>18817745
>>18817747
>>18817763
You've made it. You finally made it to the river you remember seeing all those centuries ago when you were just a sapling, that was blocked from view by all your children.

The druids seem to share your joy at this achievement. There are far more of them than there is normally.

During the leader's usual sermon you put more effort into this one action than you have any before now. You begin lowering your hand-branch towards him.

There are cries coming from the assembled crowd, all extending their strange upper branches towards you in a point. Their leader appears to be leaking water from the top of his trunk as he carefully reaches out and grasps your hand-branch.

>>18817854
BROS

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS

>>18817854
Hold it there for a little bit. Then, retract the hand and wave (if we know what that is).

I got to go. If the mood strikes me I'll continue this. If not, then this isn't that bad of an ending, is it?

>>18817885

This was an awesome if short quest.

A suburb is built 2 miles from you.

Someone do a roll for me on the termite attack.

>Spend all day yesterday pruning an orchard
>See this thread
>That feel when I gleefully dismembered dryads all day.

>>18817885

I teared up a little. Thanks very much, OP.

that was great. 10/10 would play again

>>18817402
>(What the fuck have you done to me /tg/? I only responded as a joke to anon saying he'd play again and now suddenly I'm running EntQuest.)

This is how Frost Giantess Quest started. It was amazing.

>>18816914
The second greatest quest there has ever been on this board. The first is obviously rock quest.

>>18817895
I concur. It was quite a bit of fun.

THE TALE OF THE TREE FATHER, AND THE QUEST FOR RIVER

Hrm. Should this be archived?

>>18818765
YES!

>>18818886
All righty. Just gotta figure out how to archive first.

This is just a sequel to rock quest, derivative and shitty. 1/10 OP, never fucking return.
