1. G(lacial)-Warriors 🗡️ (Knight quest)

A quest is just what he needs to take his mind off the plethora of revelations to come from his day of forced slumber - and what better way than to go out and hit something until it falls to pieces? He takes his gunblade, his horse, and the provisions provided by Camelot to all knights embarking on this particular journey. In typical fashion, he does not bother to ask around and see if anyone would like to join him. No, he wants the time to himself to sort out his thoughts.

Yet nothing is ever that easy, is it? He's ambushed by one of the I.C.E. constructs as he nears the spot. His horse rears up in alarm, throwing him from the saddle before bolting into the trees. Emet-Selch lands with a painful thud into a bank of snow. Fortunately, the gunblade strapped to his back seems in order. Unfortunately, the ICE is advancing on him and he's having trouble getting out of the snow.

Help?

(ooc: Existing CR are free to assume they accompanied him from the start if they want.)

2. Serve, Save, Slave, Slay...Some Sushi 🗡️

The sushi monster is no easier to slay than the I.C.E. as Emet-Selch discovers much to his chagrin. What does a man have to do to get some relatively simple knight quests??

The...creature(?) fires a round of pellets at him which has him diving into a rolls to avoid. He comes up into a crouch just in time to parry one of the sharp green swords it wields, quickly getting his feet beneath him before the second can slice him in half. He's been at it for a few minutes by now, focus utterly consumed by the opponent before him. He's growing tired though and the thing still doesn't look like it plans to give up.

"Ridiculous thing," he seethes. "And me, reduced to using these inferior magicks... I should have asked Irhya for a greatsword instead of a gunblade."

He fires off a round and its ricochet echoes throughout the forest. Even if the sound doesn't draw attention, the eerie blue after-image of the shot is worth attention.

3. I See You, Opening! 🛡️

Well of course, Emet-Selch doesn't want anything to do with these tricksy arrows and their dubious effects. But other people may have no such qualms. Perhaps you want to see this sour-looking man pour his heart out to one of his associates. Or perhaps you want to make him suffer by tasting nothing but chocolate for two weeks. Anything goes. Really. Anything.

If shooting: Please nominate which arrow you're shooting him with. I'm happy to write custom starters if you want.

If encountering him after he's been shot: Please nominate which effect you want for him. Again, I can write a custom starter if that's preferred.

4. Wildcard

If you have some ideas, feel free to send me a PM or leave a comment on the CR meme.

Comments

Once the fish... remains... were delivered and dealt with, Felih was delighted to find that Hades would entertain his hopes for an outing. It felt rare to just have time like this, between their work and the various events and occasional chaos that this city provided.

He purrs and melts, leaning eagerly into his lover's touch, tail aquiver with delight at the sensation of fingers through his mane.

"There's apparently a sort of natural sciences museum here," he chirps, bright-eyed. "In a realm as fantastic as this, I would love to see how the flora and fauna here developed and became what they are now..."

[emet_sulk]

"Hmm, I believe Hythlodaeus did mention those at some point. If you know where they are then lead on."

He's extremely glad that he had invested in one of the Camelot City totems. It makes returning from his quests a simple thing.

Felih lights up, his tail aquiver behind him as his mate acquiesces to his request, and he happily takes Hades' arm and begins to gently tug him along, eager as ever.

"Of course! I was wandering around-" As is his wont. "-and spotted it not too far from the central gardens, which seemed a fitting place for it. I want to see the geological bits too, they always have gems on display in those, don't they? I wonder if the gems in this realm are different... ah! And the botanical exhibits may help with my garden experiments!"
