Warden of Avon

Don't get distracted!

The target has been decided. The deadline has been set. All that is left is for you, Adam Finch, assassin extraordinaire, to execute your mission. Success is inevitable. Because you are weapon made flesh, and nothing will stop you from completing your mis- Oh! Look! A story-game!!

There are 5 endings: 'Double kill', 'War in the shadows', 'Retiree rescue', 'Kiss of death' and 'Who let him cook?!'.

Submitted for End Master's Prompt Contest 4 for the prompt of: 'A story involving being an assassin'

Ignis and Aero

Aero, a 14-year-old inhabitant of the village of Albritton, wants nothing more than to read his enthralling storybooks in peace. When he hears of a Golem wandering in the forests near his village, he is more than happy to let the professionals deal with it, while staying within the comfort of his home.

Unfortunately for him, his adventurous brother, Ignis, has other plans.

Author's note: If you want to collect all endings, then there are six of them: The Wise, The Mourner, The Cleaner, The Knight, The Skeptic and The Magician. Certain choices don't have immediate effects but may influence the endings. Also, certain endings can be reached through multiple different paths.

Submitted for Sherbet's Summer's End Synergy Contest.

Special thanks to mrcrimsonclean for proof reading :]

Of dreams and daemons

Most would be willing to trade a great deal to catch a glimpse of what the future holds. Hannah de Reade, however, has spent her time in Lumintrone ignoring the omens that she sees in her prophetic dreams. All she wanted was some semblance of normalcy.

But when her dreams warn her of a daemonic plot, she is compelled to act against it, leading her to be invited as an honored guest to the Imperial Castle.

However, in a court filled with dark secrets, are her eyes that can pierce through fallacies truly a gift or a curse? You will have to take Hannah's side and guide her through this ordeal that will forever change her fate.

And perhaps you will change the fate of Lumina itself in the process.

Author's note: There are nine endings. I highly recommend reaching multiple endings since you may not be able to experience the entirety of the plot with one read. While they are not central to the story, I should also warn that themes of domestic abuse and graphic violence are present in it.

Woah! That's very generous! Thank you, Avery. :D

It seems to be around 2887 points in the pool currently? A lot of people have said that they were donating points to specific members; I have no idea if those are being added to the pool or what. I didn't count those in my total.

Standing desks are a thing... can't confirm whether people who use them are in their right minds or not though.

I knew I felt a bit of déjà vu when I saw this title.

In any case, I'll repeat what I said there again. Dialogue is mainly influenced by:
1) A character's motivations.
2) The way they want to present themselves to the world. (A leader of a gang might have a rough and intimidating way of speaking whereas a nobleman would seek to show off their eloquence.)
3) The person they are addressing.

Here's a link to the most recent thunderdome, if you want to have an idea of what it's like.

The two combatants will be given a set amount of time (usually a weekend) to submit a short story (2000 word max) on a prompt determined by the organizer of the duel. The stories will then be posted anonymously and site users will vote on which story is better. Whoever has the most votes at the end of the voting period wins the duel.

If it's a warden combatant Wildblue is looking for, then I'm always down for a scrap. :]

I did say I'd donate points if someone can confirm that they are around to receive them, so I shall donate 200 of my points. I am still gonna try and make myself eligible for the prize though. :]

Damn.. I actually didn't know getting a story game featured gave so many comms. Maybe it isn't as hopeless as I thought. :D

Guess I'd better get to work on producing something feature worthy. I might as well end the year swinging.

Thanks for the recommendation RK :]

Unfortunately, I only have like a sixth of the commendations required to qualify. I doubt I can make myself eligible for this.

As for the point donation thing, I'd be willing to donate some points provided one of the eligible contestants is actually willing to confirm that they'll participate in the new year's contest.

Just me. :]
