Recruits needed for Quest! (Part II) - Page 29

I think an epilogue is in order. Wow, it's been near over six years for this thing to finish...

***Earniel*** · 03-24-2009, 06:39 AM

How about something like this? We can construct a suitable epilogue here and then post it in the game thread after everyone's satisfied with it. I suppose I could close the game thread after that, seeing that it has lived its course. Six years... quite unbelievable.

Quote:

There was much rejoicing and much boozing.

Soon the Nancelot with the fairy ship in tow, left the island on which now dwelt a handful of ex-pirates piglets. One of them was still shaking its hoof and swearing piglet-ly revenge. The Wraak was now only a smoldering wreck, gliding under the waves near the island.

Beneath the stars, the Nancelot quietly sailed on across the interdimensional sees. Everything was quiet on the deck, everywhere crewmembers in advanced stages of inebriation, lay drunkenly smiling, still clutching at their almost empty glasses of Holy Wine and occasionally going *hick*.

EXK: So twin... *hips* Now that we got the Wine ... and conshu... consh... drunk it. What are we going to do next?

Captain:We-ell... have you ever heard of the... the... *hick* Sacred Cider of the Island of... Shomethin' Shomething?

EXK: Can't remember, wine fried me memory. *takes another swig*

Captain:*grins* Well... I always fancied a glass of it...

And so the Nancelot drifted on, with a completely drunk crew, always aiming for the next round of spirits hidden far across the oceans, getting into adventures of which we will no longer speak at the moment.

And then there were partings.

Soon the Nancelot left the island on which now dwelt a handful of ex-pirates piglets, one of them still shaking its hoof and swearing piglet-ly revenge; and the battered sloop, with faerie and pirate on board, sailed home, leaving the ocean between world behind. The Wraak was now only a smoldering wreck, gliding under the waves near the island.

Beneath the stars, the Nancelot quietly sailed on across the interdimensional seas. Everything was quiet on the deck, everywhere the remaining crewmembers in advanced stages of inebriation, lay drunkenly smiling, still clutching at their almost empty glasses of Holy Wine and occasionally going *hick*.

EXK: So twin... *hips* Now that we got the Wine ... and conshu... consh... drunk it. What are we going to do next?

I added a bit in just to tie up a loose end. Looks good.

EDIT: I was talking with Tano the other day. Had you heard? Cap'n is now in the Navy and apparantly engaged... madness, how much happens in six years.

The last sane person · 03-24-2009, 11:43 PM

...The... The... Navy?

BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAA!!

...er... I mean.... How wond....AHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHAHA!!!.....erful..

I had thought you two would at least stay and share in the wine before going.

Really? That's lovely. Imagine, we may have set her on that course with this game.

In the language training program. Not so much the fighty/saily part I think...

We did. In the much rejoicing and boozing part.

Aha, that makes much more sense. For all her swagger, she never did keep our appointment for a duel, and found every chicken-y excuse to evade it when ever I brought it up...

Oh well, but still, that is priceless! Hahaha, the Navy... poor boogers..

Can we change that to, "Of which are unrecorded in these halls"? Or something. Because that just doesn't sound grammatically correct when said aloud and is rather wide open to enterpritation?

Acalewia · 03-25-2009, 10:29 PM

I agree with Shah. "Of which are unrecorded in these halls" sounds a lot better. "We will no longer speak at the moment" sounds like they were disgraced or something of that nature.

***Earniel*** · 03-26-2009, 06:49 AM

I just wanted to say how they still went on adventures, but that we'll no longer be writing those out (or we'll be here for another decade or so

). But yeah, the other way sounds better.

***Earniel*** · 03-28-2009, 03:03 PM

Well, there goes the epilogue, the Quests for the Wine and the Wine-thieves are now well and truly wrapped up.

Thank you all for the many years of fun. There have been but few RPG's that turned out to be so weird and epic.

Willow Oran · 03-28-2009, 03:43 PM

Thank you for sticking with it to the end! It feels good, knowing it was finished properly.

Acalewia · 03-29-2009, 09:43 PM

Are you going to do what you did with the first Quest on the Word Pad?

The last sane person · 03-29-2009, 10:10 PM

Or put it in the Moot Archives?

I'm already working on it, but I'm only halfway yet.

But if anyone wants a copy, PM me with your email address and I'll send one your way. Be advised that it may take a while.
