>>Information

This quest, as the title suggests, takes place in the world of Dragon Ball. You're playing as a sixteen year old boy named Tofoo, and will adventure through the story of the Dragonball series alongside characters such as Goku, Yamcha, Bulma, Tien, and many others. Through your actions, you can make significant changes to the story, and perhaps even become the strongest fighter on Earth.

>Rules

At the end of each update you'll have ten minutes to vote on options. Write-ins are allowed, but I do reserve the right to veto them.

In the event of a draw, the option to receive the next vote wins

Rolls will be used on certain occasions, such as attempting a technique for the first time or attempting something extremely difficult. You will have three rolls, and if one succeeds, you succeed. There are no crits.

time for intrigue!

As Yamcha steps into the room, and Puar floats in after him, you notice that his usual arrogant demeanor seems to be absent. Instead, he looks concerned, which does lend credence to his assertion that there is a problem.

"We're gonna have a problem if you don't get out of here right now!" Bulma snaps, rolling up her sleeves and clenching her hands into fists.

Yamcha seems unimpressed, and doesn't give Bulma more than two seconds of attention before looking at you.

"How are you feeling?" he asks. "Can you fight?"

>A. Not great, but you aren't helpless

>B. (Lie) Never better

>C. Ask what this is about

>D. Don't answer him

>E. Something else

>A
Hello Som, I wonder what Yamchas going to tell us

>A. Not great, but you aren't helpless
>C. Ask what this is about

>A. Not great, but you aren't helpless
>C. Ask what this is about

"Not great," you admit. "But, I'm not helpless. What is this about?"

Yamcha approaches you, ignoring the nervous look from Launch and the violent look from Bulma.

Puar, on the other hand, moves closer to Yamcha, looking at Bulma with some fear. You do have to admit, she can be pretty scary when she's angry.

"It's about Crane Hermit," Yamcha tells you, stopping at the side of your bed, across from Bulma. "He wants you dead."

"What? But why?" Launch asks, sounding both surprised and horrified.

"Because Tofoo here killed Master Shen's brother, Tao," Yamcha explains, looking over his shoulder at your friend. "He wants revenge."

"Wait, THE Tao?" Bulma asks. "That's Shen's brother?"

Yamcha nods, then turns his attention back to you.

"You weren't supposed to lose that match," he explains. "Crane Hermit was going to let Tenshinhan kill you in the ring, but since you're out of the tournament, he's going back to his old plan. He's going to come after you, while you're still injured from your match with Goku."

>A. You aren't afraid, let Shen come

>B. Thank him for warning you

>C. Ask Bulma and Launch if they can go and get Master Roshi, you could really use his help right about now

>D. What about Goku?

>E. Something else

>B. Thank him for warning you
>C. Ask Bulma and Launch if they can go and get Master Roshi, you could really use his help right about now
>D. What about Goku?

Seconding

>B. Thank him for warning you
>C. Ask Bulma and Launch if they can go and get Master Roshi, you could really use his help right about now

>B. Thank him for warning you
>C. Ask Bulma and Launch if they can go and get Master Roshi, you could really use his help right about now
>D. What about Goku?

"Thanks for the warning," you tell Yamcha before turning your attention to the two ladies in the room. "Bulma, Launch, can you go and get Master Roshi? I could really use his help right about now."

"Okay," Launch says in a serious tone, heading for the door.

Bulma, on the other hand, seems somewhat reluctant. You notice her eyes shifting between you and Yamcha repeatedly, and that there's a nervous look on her face.

"Are you sure you'll be okay alone with him?" she asks you.

"If I wanted to hurt him, I would have done it already," Yamcha tells her, sounding annoyed. "And I definitely wouldn't come warn him of Master Shen's plans."

"Well, that's true..." Bulma admits. "But still..."

You promise her that you'll be fine, and that seems to finally convince her to go get Roshi. She doesn't seem happy about it, but she goes with Launch.

Once the two of them are gone, you ask Yamcha about Shen's plans for Goku.

"Goku took part in Tao's death," Yamcha tells you. "Even if you were the one who did the actual killing. Crane Hermit is going to let Tenshinhan kill him in the finals."

>A. That's assuming Tenshinhan can beat Krillin

>B. Ask what Yamcha is going to do

>C. Ask if he knows when Crane Hermit will attack

>D. Get up and throw some punches and kicks, find out where your body's at

>E. Something else

>B, C and D

>A. That's assuming Tenshinhan can beat Krillin
>B. Ask what Yamcha is going to do
>C. Ask if he knows when Crane Hermit will attack

>>B. Ask what Yamcha is going to do

>A. That's assuming Tenshinhan can beat Krillin
>B. Ask what Yamcha is going to do
>D. Get up and throw some punches and kicks, find out where your body's at

"That's assuming Tenshinhan can beat Krillin," you tell Yamcha.

The other man gives you a hard look. "Krillin's a strong fighter, but Tenshinhan is something else altogether. As strong as me and Chaozu are, neither of us hold a candle to him, and not even Crane Hermit can match his strength. Krillin is going to lose, but Tenshinhan won't kill him, not yet. He'll be disqualified if he does."

"And what are you going to do?" you ask Yamcha, hopping out of bed.

He looks down, letting out an aggravated breath. "I'm going to try and help you stop Crane Hermit."

He looks up, and his expression is one of great irritation, telling you this was not a decision he came to very easily.

"I still owe you some payback, but not like this," he explains. "Killing someone when they're tired and injured, there's nothing honorable about that, nothing satisfying. It's cowardly and disgraceful."

He lets out a sigh, his expression calming. "And, I realized that you and Puar were right. Shen's been turning me into something I'm not. I may not be a great guy, but I'm not like him."

Puar smiles, and Yamcha returns it, looking over his shoulder at his furry friend.

"I just wish I realized it sooner," Yamcha comments before looking back at you.

"Do you know when Shen will attack?" you ask, deciding not to push your luck too much by continuing your efforts to mend fences.

Yamcha shakes his head. "No, but probably soon."

So, you won't have much time to prepare. You throw some punches and kicks into the air, striking the empty space as hard and fast as you can. You can still manage good form, but your attacks lack some of the power they held before your match with Goku, and soon your arms and legs begin to feel sore.

You're still far from helpless, but you'll have to be careful with how you fight. You can't push your body too far, so you'll have to fight smart to defeat Shen.

>A. Wait for the girls to get back with Roshi

>B. Go see if you can catch up to them

>>B. Ask what Yamcha is going to do

>>A. Wait for the girls to get back with Roshi

>A.
When Roshi is here we can discuss how to handle Shen, they have history and he can help us form a plan to stop him

>A. Wait for the girls to get back with Roshi

>>A. Wait for the girls to get back with Roshi

Hopefully, the girls will be back soon, and while you wait, you can get some rest, and maybe even regain a little bit of energy.

You take a seat on the edge of the bed, and wait.

The atmosphere in the room is quite tense, due in part to the impending danger, but also because of who you're currently sharing it with.

You don't have many problems with Puar, but things with Yamcha aren't so good. You aren't so sure he wants to kill you anymore, but the two of you are by no means friends, and you aren't confident that he won't deck you if you say the wrong thing.

Goku snores away in his bed, oblivious to the situation, and the current awkwardness.

For a few minutes, things remain that way, until you hear a voice.

Unfortunately, it's not one of the voices you were hoping for.

"Hear me, Tofoo," the voice demands. "It is I, Master Shen. I want you to listen very carefully."

You stand up, looking around for the source of the voice. You see nothing, and Yamcha gives you a curious look.

>A. Wonder if he's in your head

>B. Say that you're listening

>C. Think that you're listening

>D. Something else

>C. Think that you're listening

>A. Wonder if he's in your head

>think about suplexing Shen

>>C. Think that you're listening
Wuh oh

>C. Think that you're listening

>C. Think that you're listening
Fucking Kazoo

"I'm listening," you think to yourself, your heart sinking as a million terrible possibilities run through your mind.

"Good," Shen tells you. "You see, I thought you'd be interested to know that I have your two lady-friends. Now, if you want to see them alive, here is what you are going to do. Not far from the Tournament Grounds, there is a rather nice little park, which is unoccupied save myself and my lovely guests. You will come and meet me here. Oh, and don't think about bringing Roshi, or Goku, or any of your other annoying cohorts. If I see any of them, the girls die, do you understand me?"

>A. You understand

>B. You're going to kill him

>C. Go to the park

>D. Tell Yamcha what's going on

>E. Something else

>A. You understand
>D. Tell Yamcha what's going on

>C. Go to the park

>A. You understand
>D. Tell Yamcha what's going on

>>B. You're going to kill him
Just like I did your brother.

>A. You understand
>D. Tell Yamcha what's going on
Time for shape shifting from Puar

I wonder if he's bluffing
>A. You understand
>D. Tell Yamcha what's going on

>A. You understand
>D. Tell Yamcha what's going on
>C. Go to the park

If we tell Yamcha a lie he'd just follow us anyway

>A. You understand

>B. You're going to kill him

>A. You understand
>D. Tell Yamcha what's going on
>E. This'll be a blast!

I don't think we should kill the Crane Hermit, might hurt our chances with Ten

"I understand," you reply to the Crane Hermit, your hands clenching into fists as you think of a few painful deaths to bring to him.

"Excellent, I'll be seeing you soon, then," Shen tells you. "Oh, and by the way, you have twenty minutes to get here. If you're late, I'll pick one of the girls and kill her."

His presence leaves your mind.

"What is it?" Yamcha asks, looking concerned. "Wait, did Master Shen contact you?"

You nod, struggling to calm yourself down. Rushing there in a blind fury won't solve anything, and will probably just get you killed.

You explain to Yamcha what the Crane Hermit told you, and where you're supposed to meet him.

"What?" Yamcha asks in anger. "That's just low!"

"What should we do?" Puar asks.

>A. Nothing to do but go there and face him

>B. You have a plan (specify)

>C. Something else

>Is this weakling serious?

Priorities, user

>>B. You have a plan (specify)
Ask Puar to show up as you, while you try to get the drop on Shen

Have Yamcha wait for your signal (A quick ki blast to the sky) for when the girls are safe

>B. I'll go and confront him on my own, you hide and if I need backup, back me up, Puar will disguise himself as you to draw out Chaozu. If Puar is in trouble, help him over me.
Puar is a him right?

i agree not because of the hurting chances with tien, but people have a seriously large knack in DB to not die when they really should have long before.
even into Z this happened hard with the Cell saga.
my problem is if we tried to kill the crane hermit, it might become another tao incident and he will show up stronker and as a robutt.

I think Tien will turn good as a result of King Piccolo whether or not we kill Shen.

Better make sure we kill him dead then.

That sounds like an awesome twist

in canon tao got quite literally exploded into pieces and all that happened is he got gero'd.
seriously we should have killed that old bastard a long time ago, it would have saved us alot of trouble.

Okay but how are we going to get the girls to safety, also since we aren't 100%, we need to get the girls to safety before Yamcha can assist us against the Crane Hermit otherwise he has hostages to hold over us and he probably will have Chaozu nearby to assist him so taking him out is a priority as well since he can render us useless or fire on us from above

Deadlock

If he kills Launch that's a good excuse as to why she's not in Z I guess.
Would it have been possible to find Shen first SOM? Has the location of the Crane School even been revealed?

It has not been revealed, but yes, there was a chance of you meeting Shen before the tournament

>B. You have a plan (specify)
Ask Puar to disguise as us, tell Yamcha to exit a different way incase anyone saw him coming to talk to us. Tell him to go back to Shen and then pick a fight with Puar disguised as us and to try make it seem real and draw it out, make them ask the question where the girls are at with us hiding near by eavesdropping. Then when the question is answered have Yamcha end up launching Puar far away with a fake wolf fang fist and transforming into something else to make it seem we are hiding from Yamcha even though we will be far gone rescuing the girls by then with Yamcha behind us with the fake notion of searching for us.

Would it have been possible to meet him before Roshi? Or not because we got swept up with Goku and Bulma?

Incredibly unlikely

Jesus, keep it simple

Choose between these two, anons

I geuss I will choose this, it includes a way to distract and take out Chaozu we just have to last long enough for Yamcha to come assist us.
We don't have any senzu beans do we?

No

Roll for it

+1

man he mistake making them cat girls

Okay, so let me make sure I understand this.

You go in alone while Yamcha hides, Puar disguises himself as Puar to draw out Chaozu, who you are assuming will be there, and if you need backup, Yamcha will help.

Why not just have Yamcha go himself to draw out Chaozu, and then attack if you need help?

Not the user who wrote that up but Puar is supposed to be disguised as Yamcha to draw Chaozu away from us and Shen basically lead him away until a safe distance and then run away, if he has trouble Yamcha intervenes. If not he watches us and Shen and jump in if we have an opening.

What

Okay, Yamcha will draw out Chaozu, and Puar will rescue the girls when we draw Shen away.

Oh, okay

I haven't been on Veeky Forums in awhile, and I'm not trying to be hostile about it, but what reasons keep y'all on Veeky Forums?

plague decide to redraw those, cute Saiyan girls as cat girls cause he wanted to do something original or whatever

/qst/ is shit

You tell Yamcha that you'll face Shen alone.

"Are you nuts?!" he shouts. "You're in no condition to fight him. At least let me help you. If we work together, I think we can win."

Shaking your head, you explain that you want him to hide. You tell Puar that you want him to disguise himself as Yamcha, and lure Chaozu away if he's there. Yamcha will help whichever one of you ends up needing it.

"Okay!" Puar says tells you, nodding with determination.


The three of you leave the hotel, and quickly make your way to the park Shen described. Yamcha runs and hides, while you walk down the pathway leading to the park's center.

There, you spot a large tree. Tied to the tree are Launch and Bulma, both of whom look to be unconscious.

Standing in front of the tree is Shen.

"So good of you to come," he says, smiling mockingly. "I didn't want to have to hurt these lovely young women."

>A. Tell Shen to let them go

>B. Promise to kill Shen

>C. Tell him he'll die just like Tao

>D. Get ready to defend yourself

>E. Prepare to attack

>G. Something else

Thanks.
>>A. Tell Shen to let them go
'I'm here you smelly old bastard"

>D. Get ready to defend yourself
We can talk when he's down

>A. Tell Shen to let them go
>D. Get ready to defend yourself
>G. Something else
"Pretty sure your master would have frowned knowing one of his students needed to drag in woman into a fight."

Dat G

"I'm here, you smelly old bastard," you tell Shen.

Your language is a bit more crass than normal, but you are absolutely livid toward this old man. He's trying to kill you when you're weak, and now he's dragged your friends into it.

"Now, let them go!"

Shen chuckles, grinning maliciously. "Oh, I will once you're dead. For now, I'll keep them as insurance that you don't try to run."

You drop into a defensive stance, readying yourself for the fight.

"Pretty sure your master would have frowned on one of his students dragging women into a fight," you tell Shen.

His grin vanishes, and a look of great anger quickly replaces it. "My master was an old fool! He allowed himself to be defeated pathetically, and couldn't even claim a victory without losing his own life! He was nothing but a preaching fraud who knew nothing of real strength!"

He drops into a fighting stance. "You sound just like Roshi, which means you embrace that same self-righteous weakness! To think that a fool like you could have killed my brother, it's shameful. But I'm going to avenge my brother here and now!"

Shen comes running.

>A. Stand your ground and defend yourself (70)

>B. Meet his charge (75)

>C. Bear Shout

>D. Afterimage Attack

>E. Something else

So are we sure we're on the Bulma route?

>>A. Stand your ground and defend yourself (70)
He's got a trick. We need to be careful and clever, waiting for our chance

>>A. Stand your ground and defend yourself (70)
Let's see if anons get mad today
I was a little though

Yes, but we shouldn't be.
>A. Stand your ground and defend yourself (70)

in b4 we die because of arbitrary raising of the DC to 99 on a save or die or some equivalent shit.

So no reason at all?

Yes user I am sorry plus she has eternal youth now
>A
If he gets a hold on us let Tofoo bite him or hit his groin we aren't 100% we need every advantage

>it doesn't even function as needed
>its supported entirely by the nazi mod
>being this much of a flaming newfag

Oh yeah. I forgot about that.

It's a dead wasteland for a reason.
