Mages Guild: Witchhunt Edition

Hear ye, hear ye. I hereby call to order this meeting of the most illustrious Mages Guild! The purpose of this meeting is find and punish the damn dirty scab who's been going around and uncursing the poor sods that we've cursed. Anyone remember that king we cursed into a little girl? It appears that she's been a 40ish year old man for the last 2 years. The Red Dragon we cursed to blow bubbles instead of fire has been roasting farms for just as long. We need to find this prick stop them with some good old-fashioned mob justice. Whoever discovers the uncurser shall receive 3 coupons, each good for one hour in my personal demiplane of bouncy castles.

As an aside, while I'm not one to point fingers, TODD totally looks like an untrustworthy individual who'd go around uncursing people.

Welcome to the Mages' Guild. Pick a name and join in! Conflicts are resolved with d20s when needed, or with playing it out. When the thread dies on Veeky Forums, we keep it going on archived.moe (Desuarchive for now because moe is down). For additional resources, please visit 1d4chan.org/wiki/Mage's_guild or collabedit.com/6fvae

I second that the scab is Todd!
>she flips Todd off

Where's your proof you maniac?

>Pops up behind you
Hey Jillllll!

You here for the coupons too!?
Know where to find Todd?

This isn't a court, /Todd/. Just admit your guilt and this will be much easier.

Eh, i know this might be annoying but why do we curse people? I forgot.

We need to do this organized and civilized otherwise we are no better than those barbarians i met when i was younger, it has to be a trial.

>Harmonica pokes her head out from a doorway.
I-I want the coupons t-too!
But... Wh-Who's Todd...?

>she gasps as if she wasn't expecting todd to resist his fate of sacrificial lamb to the mob
Proof?

yes! and yes as well!
>She hooks a thumb at fucking todd

because they did something to deserve it. or we felt like it. or we were paid to do it.

>Jill waves

I've done nothing wrong.
They don't teach cure curse in the warlock department and I've never enrolled into any courses in curse removal.
My record is clean.

I SAY WE RIOT!
RIOT!?
Prove it or we riot!

Harmonica!
Come partner with me!
We can win those coupons
>rubbing her hands greedily
>pointing to Todd


Todd! We shall dismember him!

Yes Proof!
These claims are false.
I've been cursing people for YEARS!
Why would I ever want to uncurse someone?
I'll curse you in a minute you idiot. Then ask me to uncurse it!
I can't because I never learned CURE CURSE.
I'd rather you didn't!

Calm down Inigo. Blindly slining accusations is how we almost got taken over by the fucking DRUID'S GUILD.

Let that sink in.

we're supposed to be a mob though.

shall we go an take a look at your records then?


Not yet, but soon I think.

Not yet!

Back in my day we put a trial if we suspected someone did something wrong, so now we just kill get? Bah we are not an assassin guild!

...That's not my nametag.

TODD! Get your ass over here before I rip your legs off!

R-R-Riot? Aren't those dangerous?

O-Okay!
>She anxiously looks to Todd.

Well it isn't okay with me young one, if we don't follow the rules how are we we better than those we curse?

Meetings are a waste of time much better spent on other pursuits. The sooner I can derail it the sooner I can sneak away.

Says you. I'm rather good at assassinating.

>Emilia giggles

Why are you uncursing people Todd!

>bouncing anxiously in her seat
But when Jill!
When!

Saaaaaaaam!
You want in on our coupon group?

But we must wait Harmony!
We wait for the proof!

THIS OLD MAN DEMANDS WE RIOT.

Fine fine.
>Todd throws a folder at you.
What do you want you idiot.
IM NOT!

What you multiclassed as an assassin?

When a riot breaks out you can just dash! The best part about instigating trouble!
>He gives him a withering look.
>360+3 3rd+2 Age
>multiclassing

Rolled 20 (1d20)

Oh if we do a trail, can I be the judge and wear a sexy judge outfit and wig?

And how is my apprentice doing today?

20 minutes, tops.

>She reads what classes he took (and curses it to read he took uncursing classes if it doesn't already say that)

Young one, next time you try talking for me i will personally see you are cursed so back off!

Fair. So let's investigate and make sure that when we riot, we're doing it to the right person for the right reasons.

...coupon group?

>Thats a DAMN GOOD CURSE
So? Does it say I took the classes.
Because it doesn't
>Oh yes it does because Jill just modfied the records.

Joke's on you, I'm already cursed sevenfold.
The only problem is that I can't remember which ones they were.

P-Proof?
>She points to the folder Todd threw at Jill.
Like th-that?

Oh! I guess I've never tried...

Sorry
No You part of the accusing party so either you would be in the jury or the... what's the opposite of the defense attorney?

Oh! Hi J-Jill! I'm doing good!
...Is there anything incriminating in there?

Hmmmm....
Darn you Todd!

20 minutes!?
I-I can wait...
i think...

We get coupons for finding the one responsible.
Me and Harmony are grouping together!

PROOF!
THERES PROOF HARMONY!

...Did you hear what I said at all? I want this meeting to fail catastrophically, but not in a way that it can directly be traced back as solely my fault. I can't take the fall, I'm too pretty for prison.
Well if someone throws a punch just run as fast as your little legs can carry you.
Not a problem old man.

Todd, how can you lie when it says you did right here!
>She shows the folder around the meeting hall that clearly shows he tots did take uncursing classes
For shame Todd, For shame.

Offence attorney?

Tots is.

Good girl, goooooood.
>she pats your head

Damn me for what? I havent done a thing.
OH SHIT WHAT?! BUT. I DON'T REMEMBER THOSE CLASSES.

>545 ▶
>
Alright ORDER, I SAY ORDER! I put in a formal request for an inpartial investigator to make an investigation followed by a trial and only if found guilty will Todd be dealt with by the mob!

A PROPER TRIAL IS FOR THOSE MUDSWALLOWING DRUIDS AND IDIOT MARTIALS!
>He adjusts his oversized hat and strokes his beard for a moment in order to calm down.
The answer is simple! We create a truth-sniffing ectoplasmic dog.

Who's willing to bite the bullet and die in order to create the ectoplasm?

>Slap!
Stop lying todd! Admit the truth! it was YOU who uncursed the King. It was YOU who saved the dragon! IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!

I'm totally one of those.

That is it, someone point me where the rules of the guild are and we will follow the rules i will read out!
No you aren't impartial, you have been hostile and slapping the accused!

Yes a trial sounds like a fantastic idea!
The dog will find me innocent!
>Is slapped.
IT WASN'T ME! IT WASN'T ME I SWEAR UPON ALL MY DEMONIC MINIONS IT WASN'T ME.

I think we should all calm down and not blow up our heads over this! My money is on Todd though.

>Leaning over her chair, practically atop of you
Jill!
He has proof now!

YOU UNCURSER YOU!

Trials take sooooo long!
>impatiant
>so impatient

>She starts at your sudden shouting.
Th-There is?!

O-Okay, I'll try.
>She glances around the room, her eyes wide.

L-Like what?
>She looks over at the folder.
U-Uncursing classes!

S-So it WAS you, Todd!
...Wait, isn't uncursing g-good?

...I think Ill pass, thanks.

...That's the whole point of having an angry mob though, so it can't be traced back to one person.

Oh right, Jill, I need to talk with you about Harmony when we get a chance.

I say where is the tome of the guild rules!
Patience is own someone becomes the strongest magic user

Like anything in life, a good thing can become an evil action if done correctly.

FUCK YOU JACK.
Can't do what I never learned~
Exactly! Im a warlock for hells sake, I don't do good.

There is another form of trial that is much faster i will accept and will please the mob: A mage duel

But it's only good if it's for a good reason-- if it were to be in order to, say, spite our fair guild, it would be evil.

Check the room with the tapioca slime beast that is not my fault. Apologies to Jack if he lost an arm cleaning it, I haven't been around since that moon fiasco.

FUCK ME? NO, FUCK YOU AND YOUR HAIRY ASS MINIONS LEAVING ALL KINDS OF MESSES FOR ME TO CLEAN UP! You also owe me twenty you ass!

Is it not my right as impartial investigator to slap the accused?

STOP LYING TODD!

Yup!

yes!

Oh?
>she raises an eyebrow
if you want.

>Looks over to you
Silly Harmony

B-but Sam
>very pouty face

Im plenty strong!

>sadface
Todd!

N-now is the time?
NOW?

VERY WELL I WILL DUEL JILL.
Psssh, the alignment of the act is based on the victim.
Fine fine.
>He throws twenty gold peices at you.
>Damn that hurt.
I CHALLENGE YOU TO A MAGE DUEL.

R-Really?
I guess Jill said something s-similar once...

W-Wait, you're a w-w-w-warlock?
>Harmonica looks horrified.
B-But the uncursing classes...

I-I think Jill would be a great i-impartial investigator...

S-So how do we even get the coupons? The Archmage said that whoever finds out who it is gets them, b-but we've all figured it out already...

You are not mpartial and have not been appointed as the accuser, also will you face Todd in the Mage duel he accepted Tell me what you can do?

maybe~

A duel? Fine
>She summons and tosses a heavy metal gauntlet on the ground, your foot to be specific

If you two manage it, you deserve the time in the plane of bouncy castles.
>Sam actually has been there before and was disappointed.
>But she's not going to tell them that!

She showed interest in joining my department, but apparently you've recruited her as well. Any way we can work out some sort of joint deal?

I mean I knew what I signed up for when I took the job. Hell, I don't think about that old conudrum about the mop that gets it's parts replaced one too many times since I've lost my arms and legs several times by now.

God, thank you. Took you several months.
>Pockets the gold coins.

Yes. I work with imps for a living.
Ouch fuck, what's the guantlet for?

Alright follow me to the outside court so the mage duel can be set up properly

Thats simple my dear!
We catch him first!

I can make ice cream!

>ruffles your hair
Youre just saying things now!

PLANE OF BOUNCY CASTLES!?
>jaw opens and shrieks in excitement

Like for instance last week, I cleaned the floors, but didn't put up any signs. Show you idiots not to run in the halls during a slime attack.

Thank you Harmonica~

Sweet!

......but she's my apprentice....

you have to throw a gauntlet in a duel.

HEY! HEY! NO! Watch it buddy, don't touch the doo.

Not bad but a bit unorthodox, Have you ever heard of the legends of Ulmagar the Powerful?

*Is outside in the courtyard*

Rolled 14 (1d20)

All I have is this glove.
>He takes off the glove.
>The walks up to you and slaps you with it!

...

Hey NO DUEL INSIDE THE GUILD!

That's what the archwizard's coupons are good for, yeah.

...I don't think there are rules stopping her from being your apprentice and still being in my department.

B-But imps are demons!
And d-demons are bad!

O-Oh!
Does th-that mean we have to d-duel him after Jill does?

S-So that's why the floor was so slippery that day...
>She frowns a little.

S-So you're going to d-duel him?
Be c-careful, he, um, uses demons.
Since he's a w-warlock...

>Jill looks totally agast
Fine Todd, is that how it is?

>SSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH
fine

let's go outside todd, You're on!

Hmmmmmmmm Idunno, let me finish this duel and shee what I can do..

But I like your hair!

I caaaaant say I have!
>scratching her head

>melts in her chair
I had no idea!

Noooooo
We can just jump right ahead of her, and take out Todd ourselves!

*From outside* Only the first one to accuse him duel him

not now BFF

Imps are the worst flavor of demon, at least learn to summon succubi. Also yes I'm responsible for making the floors slippery, so sue me.

Try and stop me old man.
Fine!
>He storms outside.

If some else participate in a mage duel that is not regonized
Ulmagar the Powerful was so trong in magic he defy the god or goddess of magic for control of magic, he did lost but some say he still live

Right then.

Welp, now you know.

>Jill's clothing and hat ruffles in the light breeze outside
>She strikes a pose
ARE YOU READY TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED TODD?

O-Oh!
Like, r-right now?

>Harmonica turns to Nixia.
H-He says we can't.

N-No, you were just d-doing your job, it's okay.
I slip and fall a lot regardless, haha...

>rubs at her sad puppy dog eyes
O-okay..

Did he know how to make Ice Cream?

How do you know!

I-I dont know..
Jill told me not now
>sad puppy dog eyes

**Set up a Magic walls** Alright whoever wins is in the right, fight!

All sorts of it back in the day but no one knows if he still does.

Rolled 5 (1d20)

Are you ready to perish for your lies!
>He throws a dark bolt at you!

that's it?

Yes, you must fight inside the walls and only there with magic

Rolled 18 (1d20)

Witches never say Perish!

Everyone back home was right! About at least one thing!

Now I want some..

Rolled 16 (1d20)
