Okay what's Deltora quest

hi Kay ilu

Deltora Quest is an Australian book series by Emily Rodda following 3 main characters;

Lief - a 16yo son of a blacksmith. he's very smart and loses his sword so often. backup moves including chucking shit at monsters

Barda - a soldier tasked with keeping Lief alive. He owes Lief's dad and also believes in the Belt of Deltora and he is the token adult

Jasmine - a 16yo girl that the other two meet by chance in a nearby forest. She has lived in the forest her whole life and can talk to animals/trees. She is so violent and i love her

(honorable mention) Kree & Filli - Jasmine's animal companions. Kree is a raven and Filli is some nebulous Furry Animal. like a squirrel or something

The three of them go on a quest through the country of Deltora looking for 7 magical gems that will complete the Belt of Deltora, a magical artifact that only works (fully) for the true heir of Deltora. Using the belt will help drive out the evil Shadow Lord from Deltora and end his reign of tyranny!!

There are so many fucked up monsters in these books and there are so many riddles too. I again have not read them in years (currently rereading the first one). My favorite book as a kid was City of the Rats because Lief almost gets eaten alive by a swarm of rats

Also they made a manga/anime of Deltora Quest and while its not super accurate to the books, it is a fun way to get the main points of the plot for anyone who doesn't have the time/energy to read at least 7 books (and apparently the two sister series I didn't know existed until this week)

If you're in my brain you get the secret spideypool where instead i ship Deadpool with a Spider-Man clone to see how that messes with dynamics

the badass angst my 19yo dm is putting in this campaign is giving me the most tragically adoptable oc I've ever had

[bladeofolympus]

In the last 3 days, he

found his dead dad

got hunted for sport

gave an artifact of mass power to a supervillain (accident)

indirectly caused the apocalypse

had to abandon his pseudodad to be blown up

found a wall that shows how he and everyone he knows will die (gruesome) (got told that his was at least 'avoidable'; it is so inevitable if things go badly im scared)

found another artifact of mass power and had to beg to be allowed to keep it safe

[bladeofolympus]

the dm told me he's surprised Pilfer still has morals

[bladeofolympus]

he has a southern accent and he didn't know how to ride a horse two weeks ago. he came in fifth place in the big race. his best friend / forcibly adopted dad is a vampire cowboy and his other best friend is a robot lady who considers him a work friend. he got superpowers that let him heal people and he is so stressed out about how often he has to use it. hes seventeen and he's blue.

7pm or before

8pm

9pm

10pm

11pm

12am

2am or after

it's never consistent

some other time entirely

Remaining time: 4 days 15 hours

I just don't know what grownups do for bedtime and I want to know!!!

I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.
