Knights Quest

Upstairs in the games carriage there is a VR game set. There are enough headsets and controllers for four people to play. One of the games is Knight Quest!

A game that can either be played on single adventure mode or with the other three headsets in a campaign mode. It is a typical fantasy rpg about a young hero who is searching for a magical item to save the world. The story is simple but fun and engaging. The hero has a sword and shield and fighting in this game requires some physical skill, but practice makes perfect!

Right now you stand at the entrance of a huge fortress, beyond these doors is your foe, the three headed dragon! Who are your party members? Are you ready? The door is opening. It is now or never.

Chores

Chores are part of life on board the Voidtrecker Express. Each team is assigned a task each month: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms, cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas, laundry and cooking.

Obviously the only thing enforcing these chores in a passengers own conscience and their fellow travellers.

Are you diligent or do you shirk? Do you try swapping your tasks with someone else? Or just outright bribing someone to do your work for you? Work together to get the task done or try and persuade a lazy team member to pull their weight.

Ash Trail

Histri is a formidable, inhospitable world. The land is dry and cracked with rivers of lava flowing between unstable crusts. It might seem impossible that any life can exist here at all. Yet it does. Lizards, wurms, large spiders and Gri- meter tall orange lizard-like people who do not quite have language yet.


The main community of Gri is under threat, there is a large volcano that is due to erupt, and the main home of the Gri lies in the foothills, in the direct path of any erruption.

Team One

A vital task is moving the Gri! For that there will need to be those who can convince them to move, explain the danger and help with the task of relocating people who are only beginning to form communities. They distrust strangers. Any other creatures that can be herded should be as well, it won't be possible to save every creature but every animal saved is a victory here. Be wary not all the animals are friendly...

Team Two

Of course there is no point moving people and creatures if you have no where to move them to. Team Two's job is to locate a suitable place. It might be difficult to ascertain suitable in this hellish landscape but as long as it is out of the range of the volcano.

There will be dangers to contend with on the way and many obstacles in the way of unstable ground and lava rivers to move around.

Team Three

Of course if this were an ordinary volcano it would be far too easy. Before the ash and the lava come fire elementals. These demonic looking creatures burn whatever they touch and seem to exist only to cause chaos.

They crawl from the volcano and seek to spread out over the land. Water attacks work best but they do go down under normal and magical damage eventually. Killing them fast is the best way to avoid disaster.

"There are much worse surprises to be had!" Which sounds awfully like she doesn't mind, even if she never outright says it's alright. Ruby isn't prevented from pulling away when she's finished gaining whatever it was she needed; Jascca didn't feel much different, so surely it was either minimal or the Light did truly provide!

Honestly, short lived race or not, humans were such charming people. "There are few Draenei who would refuse another in need, and such a pleasant thing as a hug is no hardship."

If only she met more people who just went for the hug without warning! "Do you feel bolstered, now?" It's a bit of odd wording, perhaps, but she's still under the impression this is less a literal transfer and more a spiritual one. Some people just need hugs to feel better!

“Bolstered? Oh! Ha, yes, I’m fine now!” Ruby said, nodding. She still had trouble with various sayings so it took her a bit to understand what Jascca meant.

“The world I ended up visiting made such affection a big this, mostly because it also helped their world and it gave us literal strength and power.”

She blushed as she looked away and added. “Of course, they figured the best thing to do is have more through… less innocent affections.” She shook her head. “I wouldn’t ask you to do such a thing.”

[glowinggoat]

"Wonderful!"

Visiting other worlds, is it? And one that encouraged open affection, that couldn't be a terrible place. Even if apparently it encouraged a bit more than hugs too.. Jascca folds her arms over her chest, looking thoughtful.

It's definitely not an immediate rejection, or horror or disgust. "I think I would have to discover if our peoples are even compatible in such ways," she says, tone as thoughtful as her expression. "I admit, the idea of such ... affections with an alien has never occurred to me before. But the Light does not judge based on kind alone, and I will not either. Though we should perhaps get to know each other better first, yes?"

One hand is offered with a smile. Boy those teeth are sharp! But she still seems friendly. "I am Jascca, of the Genedar."

[silver_eyes_rose]

Ruby blinked in surprise at Jascca even thinking about such things, but she didn’t seem to reject it and even suggested knowing each other better.

The sharp teeth didn’t deter her at all - the voice and the mannerisms all told her she could be trusted.

“I think getting to know each other first is the best!” Ruby said, taking her hand and shaking it. “I’m Ruby Rose. No matter what happens, I’m glad to have a friend.”
