Warden

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.

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.

It'll show up when you reach an ending in a storygame. I'm sure everyone will agree that this is the only way to do it.

If we are coming up with rulesets, I say it should be one that checks if the user can handle deadlines. E.g. Avo has participated in multiple thunderdomes without flaking, and she submitted a valid story for the edutainment contest. That makes her trustworthy enough imo.

Oversimplifying a little bit, but its basically billiards on a square table with four pockets. The balls are replaced with flat coins and you flick coins with your finger instead of using a billiards stick.

Why read forums when you can read (and hopefully rate and review) storygames? :D

You could try learning some HTML while you're at it. It can be useful to know. There's an article on this site that covers the most commonly used tags but you could also check out online tutorials if you are more interested.

Usually it's coffee and whatever sweets we have lying around the house. There's always an excess of those since family get-togethers tend to happen around festive times. :]

Being an Indian means that I have plenty of experience playing carrom and badminton. It was practically the go to activities for family get togethers when I was younger. I also want to get into chess but it just seems kind of stressful to play as a beginner.

Also, I'm pretty good at souls games. Dunno if you'd count that as a talent. XD

Hmm, he did mention during the reading competition that he hadn't read EndMaster's stories before reviewing Rogues.

Does it really take a lot of time to wear a coat? I guess if the coats weren't placed by the exit, that would make sense.

Maybe Jade's gift is that the giftee doesn't have to guess who their secret santa is. XD

Also, since the thread's been separated, here's a link to the padlet so santa sleuths can access it conveniently within this thread.
