Lamia Daughter Quest is a completed quest run by EchoGarrote, in which /tg/ played as Ssen, who is the title character of "The Lamia Child", all grown up and ready to see the world after her father's funeral. She started out fighting for His Light (the generically Lawful Good religion of the region), even though she was discriminated against for being non-human; as she rose in prominence, she got entangled in ancient conspiracies revolving around semi-sentient kingdoms, witnessing grave injustices committed almost unconsciously by people caught in their influence. She and her companions made it their over-arching goal to free the people of the world so they could stand on their own and choose their own fates, rather than being forced into the same old cliched stories. In short, they succeeded by killing, banishing, or reforming several gods (and mortals who wanted to be gods) who had taken to meddling with the free will of others.

A quest from 4chan's /tg/ that came here to use our /questdis/.

Party

• Ssen Patrick, a lamia ranger who became the first lamia paladin. She's good with a bow or sword, and her snake-like lower body is strong enough to crush a man in armor. She gets a lot of flak for being a lamia, though she remains devoted to fighting the good fight. Her name is also a meta-pun on Saint Patrick, who is known for (among other things) banishing all snakes from Ireland.
• Tricia Greats, a "wasp witch", or a sort of druid who can communicate with insects. She and Ssen grew up together; while their relationship was not always friendly, they have grown a lot closer after fighting for their lives together and encountering bigotry and hatred in other towns.
• "Mage Patrick", a nameless boy with magical talent who was rescued from his family, a band of cannibals called Ghouls (see below). Ssen tried calling him other names, but none of them seemed to fit him, so she started calling him Mage, and the name has stuck. He was later adopted by Ssen as a brother, and thus now uses the last name "Patrick". His life is dominated by two things: to-do lists (containing all of the crazy magic ideas that /tg/ -- through Ssen -- wants him to look into) and beautiful, dangerous women. He's the only male member of the party (though a Citadel-inspired painting of the party depicted him as a woman).
• Persephone ("Peri"), a quarter-elf rogue rescued from another band of Ghouls. She used to be a member of the Fey Court, an elven terrorist cell. She is good with knives, explosives, assassinations and infiltrations. She currently has the soul of thirteen-year-old Mari imhabiting her body.
• Marietta ("Mari"), a thirteen-year-old prodigy scholar. Her soul was separated from her body and placed in Peri's; one of the party's long-term goals is to get her back in her own body, which is presently in cold storage at the Conclave in White Tree (though, after getting a little drunk from Peri's drinking, she admits that she likes being a "sexy quarter-elf assassin"). In the meantime, she and Peri have had to get along, which results in hilarious hijinks when Mari wants to return items that Peri steals, and some tears and vomit when she experiences her first kill. She's also discovered that she's a dead shot with a crossbow.
• Lea Ughruda, a monk who wears bandages all the time to cover up the bruising, discoloration, and scarring from when she got treated for cancer. She has some talent for music, and is a very devout follower of His Light and the holy scriptures known as "The Teachings."

Titles

Isen originally nicknamed the main party the "Beautiful Nightmares" and the "Saviors of Purple Sands" after they saved Purple Sands from an insane wasp witch.

The other members went ahead and spent some of the reward money on armor and clothing that has red and green highlights (red for Ssen's hair and green for her scales) in an approximation of a uniform.

They earned the title "Champions of First Wood" after stopping Donovan.

"Liberators of Stone Hall" came after stopping the Ghoul invasion and occupation of Stone Hall.

Ssen gained the title "Hero of Citadel" for saving Isen from Peace's arrow by diving in front of it.

Later on the group takes up the name of the "Caligo Clarus" or Clear Occuli, an old order of Paladins and other people devoted to aiding people through times of great change and difficulty. Motto: Within the Darkness is Where the Light is Needed Most, thus There In The Darkness We Must Stand. Often referred to as the Light in the Darkness. They call themselves the "Dawnchasers" as a shorthand.

The group is dubbed "the Snake Tribe" on their journey to the North.
