| Hi guys ! Aaaaaand... music ! There, I wanted some epic bg stuff for that thread ;p As some of you already know, I've been hiking in the south of France for a bit more than 6 weeks now, trying to reach Italy. Having always loved this kind of stuff, I'd like to create a nomadic way of life I could teach to others. Meanwhile... I got a silly idea ;p Since this is a bit of an adventure, I was wondering if you guys would like to choose some quests for me ;) Not killing boars for xp of course, but things like cleaning some trail, talking to locals, etc. Could be fun ! Right now I'm in Castellane. So ! Here are the quests you can give me !
 You decide ;) I'll post the proof of my success, or die failing my lords ! (ok maybe not) If you guys enjoy this sort of things, I'll make others after that ;p If not, have a good day anyways peeps !  Edit : @_Lycka_ it was ! Revived FE series like crazy ;p Thank you my friend ! @xMizu_ that's so funny, I actually did that just two days ago ;p It was this one. Buddhists there were super nice, they showed me around and I got to participate in a prayer indeed ^^ It was really hard to sit still for that long, but I managed it. Also they gave me oranges, which is cool. I can visit other temples/churches on my way if you want ;) @Catalano adding the idea for the next quests, thanks ;p @Scud wooow that would be pretty neat if I can pull it off ! I'll think about it ;) Also adding your vote, thank you ! |

| Go pray in a monastery, seriously that would be like the one cool thing to do. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| put your index finger in some lake/river and try to guess its temperature in Celsius |
    |
| Navigate the rest of your way to Italy using only the sun and the night sky as your guide. Out of those options though I guess it wouldn't hurt to help keep the place tidy. |
 |
| @Moonspeak Really explains your calming spiritual aura that I can feel even over the internet. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| After visiting Italy make your way to Balkan Peninsula. Your quest is to survive, your main enemies are feral dogs and gypsies and you have no allies. |

Thanks ^^ I'm actually one of the most toxic users here when I get invested in debates (I can get pretty violent ;p) but I have contrasting moments of calm as well when others are stressed ;) @_meimei noting that, thank you ! Your story is great ;) I did climb a couple of summits before, so I'm not a stranger to this feeling, this great mix of sensations you're describing is very familiar to me. @Agelastus that'll be for higher level quests, I need more xp before that ;p |

| Aaaaaaand... Edit : @ridingwithstars Glad you like it ;) Ideas noted, thank you dear quest giver ;p |

| this is so cool! the background music seriously adds to it x) -i also like the trash idea & checking out a church! -you could take pictures of and identify 5 animals -(safely) climb a tree and show the view from the top -share a meal with a fellow hiker adventurer :) -to get some real game like chain quest ask a local if you can be of any help to them, but idk if you have time for that x) be safe! good luck with your hike adventurer!! <3 |
I say climb to the top of some mountain and see if there's any secret loot hidden up there. Might even be a place of power. Maybe you'll find Roach coming down the other side.  |
| Try to make it to Japan, I'll be waiting. That's your main quest. I don't know what side quests to give you. Throw away all your fancy clothes and rely on paleolithic ones made from animal skin and bones only. Those have much higher base stats and will help you throughout the rest of your journey. |
| 1- During the entire journey eat only fruits and vegetables. 2- Try to make your own medicine out of plants. 3- Shirtless during the entire journey. 4- Start a fire out of two stones. Sidequest: Once in Italy try to woo a woman and make her your companion. |
''Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.'' |
| Cool BG music and amazing adventure. You are liviing my dream. 1) Plant something. Take a picture and show us its growth. Maybe GPS coordinates too in case someone here gets out there someday. 2) Climb a tree. 3) Have a coffee at a roadside cafe. |
Woooooow Thank you guys so much for your kind messages ! Here's my camp taken minutes ago as a gift !  Your ideas are great (even if some are quite challenging ;p) ! I'll do one quest at a time, you'll have to be a bit patient my lords ;) For now, let's find a place to desacralize pray in ;p I'll answer your messages after that, thanks again !  |
|
Nice digs, so verdant there it looks like a little fairy forest. |
| Aaaaaand... Back to posting ! ;) My quest was to find a church, and I found several... but all were closed. So ! I did discover something more original : A sanctuary ! Here it is :  Loved the mosaic ^^ I ask you my lords @xMizu_ @_meimei @ridingwithstars, is this holy place to your liking ? ;) |

Thanks for the info. |

| for sure! super cool, you get a SS rank! x) hope your travels are going well! |
| @_meimei Yes ;) It is Maria, as usual, catholics are usually more fond of her than protestants. Here the mosaic represents her as "Sainte Marie des eaux vives" in reference to the place where the sanctuary is, which is a cavern facing a rapid river between sharp clifs, a bit after Saint Auban. We call that path "Clue", it is a rather dangerous road built at the cost of many lives at the time, and the sanctuary was where locals would gather to pray, calling it "Notre Dame de la Clue". On that note... Quest complete !  What would you have me doing next, my lieges ? ;p 1. Climb a mountain (2 votes) 2. Climb a tree (2 votes) 3. Make medecine out of plants (1 vote) @ridingwithstars thank you, it is going well ;) @xMizu_ glad you like it as well ! |

| @Moonspeak Um yeah that's, quite nice. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| @_Lycka_ @_meimei My lords !  Is this high enough for you ? ;) (I climb these things quite often these days actually, but I don't always have enough battery ;p) No loot spoted at the top I'm afraid... but I do hear wolves now and then ^^ I'll try Caradhras if you want me to go higher ;p |

Do you know your elevation? No place of power either? Damn. Maybe your princess is on another mountain. |
_Lycka_ said: Beautiful. Do you know your elevation? No place of power either? Damn. Maybe your princess is on another mountain. Around 1200 to 1400 meters, I'll be losing altitude now that I'm heading south east. No place of power, but I do have my beloved runes :  (that's a GR mark, the kind of hiking paths I've been following from the start ;p) So, quest complete !  Now, what is your will, my good masters ? 1. Climb a tree (3 votes) 2. Help a local (3 votes) 3. Shirtless for an entire day of my journey (1 vote, I modified it a bit ;p) |

| These are some really great and wonderful snaps of your travels. Do keep them coming! Very Yuru Camp indeed. |
| @GenshinRosaria well thank you, that's really nice of you ;) @_Lycka_ you can vote for both if you want, no problem ;p I'll just do one after the other. @IceySongstress noting that ! Kinda ahead on this one, got some surprise in store for you guys ;) |
|
| I deeply very much think you should help a local |
"It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities" - HP1 forever fave quote //This was quoted in the year of 2009 |
| Well met, my lords ! Let us hear what the bard has to sing ! My task was to (safely) climb a tree. The main issue here is most of them don't have many branches (pines and such) and are very dry and breakable... Still ! I set up camp for the day, and figured I had some time to try a small one in front of me :  Didn't get that high, but it was a nice bit of adrenaline rush hearing the branches crack under my weight ;p  The view :  Are you satisfied, my elvic masters ? ;p @_Lycka_ @barsoapguy219 @ridingwithstars |
|
| Yes! Nice pic! Very good looking foot you have there. More quests more quests!!  |
| Very well ;) On that note, quest complete !  What shall I do next ? 1. Help a local (3 votes) 2. Make something with plants (4 votes) 3. Navigate using only sun and stars until I reach Italy (1 vote) You decide ;) |

| Have you been out in the grass AGAIN? Moonspeak all this grass touching is only going to incur the wrath of our resident and visiting incels and NEETs. Might have to do a side quest to defend yourself right here when they accuse you of being a filthy normie. Or have they already began their assault? |

The view : Are you satisfied, my elvic masters ? ;p awh sick! great view! once again continue to travel safe :) <3 this looks so fun! making something with plants sounds cool! navigating with sun and stars does too but I dont want you to get lost so I wont cast my vote for that x) good luck adventurer :^)/ <3 |
| That is sick. Makes me want to go for a hike or a bike ride. You are living the dream bro! |
| @Fate_Saber88 @ridingwithstars @IceySongstress @_meimei My lords ! You trusted me with the task of making something with plants... Here is my tale ! Edit : @_Lycka_ Lol Maybe on a subconscious level ;) @_meimei I like the idea, noting it for later ;p |

| I’m impressed, wasn’t expecting jelly tbh! Don’t worry about the solidifying I’m sure you’ll hone your jelly making skills over time. I was honestly expecting something simple like this: So if you are open to more side quests, a flower crown is pretty fun. I’ve only ever made one but now I feel like I should give it another go. Flower power~ @_Lycka_ Love the incentivizing >:) that pic is really cute ngl @Moonspeak sounds good haha, no pressure ;) |

| don't worry I think that still counts x)! even though it didn't solidify you got a product x)! A flower crown sounds cute ^! that song is so good too (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ ♪♬ stay safe adventurer :D <3! |
| @_Lycka_ You're on pal. Get ready for some flowers next time ;) @ridingwithstars thanks ! Safe ain't always my fav cup of tea though ;p Will try not dying, promise. @IceySongstress I wanted agar agar because of the recipe I got it from : Found only pectin tho in the local market, but it should have done the trick as well. Think my pH was too high, I should have used more lemon. Thanks for the info though ! Anyways... I have now my new main quest, given by none other than my dear lil sister ! I must reach Rome before August !  She'll be in the city at the start of the month, so we thought it'd be funny if I could get there before ;p That means going from where I am now (Le Suquet), which is a bit before the italian border... to the heart of the country in less than a month. I will need speed this time ! No more fooling around in mountain hikes (even if I love it), that's regular road by night for me now (still by foot though) ! Then... I will be claiming Rome for romantics ! ;p |
