Roll to Knight (minimalist) - Turn 1
« on: January 20, 2024, 03:52:16 pm »

You are a Knight of the Round Table who has set out from Camelot to quest for the Holy Grail. But where the hell is it, anyway?

How do you seek the Grail?

Clearly, God hath placed it where one would never look, and those who never look would not see.  And where its wonders would never be understood.

Clarce, Knight of the Round Table, goes to the most squalorous and poorest parts of the largest nearby city, there to do good for the unfortunates who somehow are surviving in desperation.  Clarce listens to their stories.  Some survive by luck, but perhaps the Grail's presence can be detected here, among miracles of survival against all odds.

Through the Round. The Grail we seek is myth, so I shall sally forth with my knights and squires. We travel to conquer France in search of it, where it as first mentioned. Percival, Knight of the Round Table.

If the Grail is indeed blessed by god, surley it would contain the drink that only god could enjoy from! I belive if I am to look for the grail, I will not find it on this mortal earth, but must go deeper, to reach the depths of what it contains! The grail must be containing the sea, so beneath the sea I must go!

Peasants prolly stole it. Filthy peasants.

Sir Bob rides forth to the nearest town and/or hamlet, teeming with filthy lessers, to interrogate as to the whereabouts of the holy grail.

(3) Clarce doesn't discover any clues to the Grail, but helping other people, distributing bread to lepers and picking old ladies off the dirt after they get run over by carriages, that's the REAL Grail. Probably.

(5) France's slothful gentry can hardly raise a dozen knights to oppose Percival; he conquers it within the week. The former King of France says one of his own knights reached the Grail a decade ago, but God moved it because "you guys found it too fast."

(1) R.I.P. Sir Huub of Riss, beloved Knight-Inventor of the Table, who perished Monday in the course of his profession when his watertight vessel sprung a leak and the water pressure was too much for him to open the door and leave. He will be remembered, but his "sub-marine" will not be used.

(3) "Well," a warty beggar proposes, "it's not in England or one of you buggers would've found it by now."

Clearly, verily the Grail is here, even beside the old lady in the street, beside the lepers as they eat their given bread, and somewhere close to every person helped.

God would have it no other way, so Clarce believes.

Continue to do good acts, be observant, and serve God's will with kindness and grace.  We earn the grail, or at least clues to it, and we simply haven't earned enough.  Clarce also invites those he helps to help him help others, all in service to God and the search for the Grail in the stories of these misfortunates!

The Grail is a journey, a challenge of God to travel the world and bring faith to infidels. And so we will follow the rumors on the path God has laid out for us. We march for Spain, to bring faith through our blades!

The Recently knighted Squire of Huub, Inventor Knight Sir Arodee of Namic, has another idea. Perhaps, he thinks, that below would be infact be where the Devil is, and probably not the Grail, as god would be a bit touchy of him getting his things...so he presumes, gathering all the Gunpowder and lamp oil he could find in this century, that perhaps he must figure a way to go UP!


So naturally, he begins building the worlds first rocket. So that he may go to the heavens and borrow the grail from god. Hes sure he wouldent mind, I mean, the guy sent them on the quest afterall..!

This knight has realized that the only place god would have hidden the grail would be somewhere only he could get such as under a mountain, and as such he will seek out the nearest mountain and tear it down to see if the grail is under it.

The holy grail is made out of gold, right? And what deals in gathering all sorts of shiny and yellow things in big piles of assorted coins and artifacts? DRAGONS!!! Sir Gallan the Gallant goes on a quest to find the nearest lair housing such a creature.
