So! I'm sure you've all seen the epic Dares threads in some of the main forums. To help kick start your plot a bit, let's have our own little party here, shall we? Share your dares for Adventure stories! Example: * - introduce a character who forgot a vital eating utensil (say, a fork) ** - meet up with an indigenous group of peoples who have said eating utensil *** - who then throw your character in prison for not possessing said eating utensil * refer to the difficult of the dare, should you choose to accept it.

I tried this for last year's NaNo = * - Have a fight scene, in a kitchen, involving only kitchen utensils. No points for knives or frying pans. ** - Involve a cheesegrater. *** - Involve a blender. **** - Involve a dishcloth. ALSO * - Have a character communicate with their ally/partner through a wall using morse code. ** - Use a crowbar, because it's a thick wall. *** - Use a machine gun, because it's a really thick wall. **** - Use a teddy, because it's a thin wall, and there's nothing else handy, and they don't want the guards to hear.

[quote="FrankieSunflower"]* - Have a fight scene, in a kitchen, involving only kitchen utensils.

Pestle and mortar?

I've got my dares from last year still . . . let's see . . . oh, yes, they're on this post-it. :D Have a battle between the heroes and the villains in a supermarket. + If they throw fruit and/or vegetables at some point during this fight + If someone shouts "Ahhh! Onions!" ++ If one of your heroes gets one of the villains by getting onion juice into their eyes ++ If one of your heroes gets onion juice in their own eyes +++ If onion juice in anybody's eyes is the culmination of the fight ++++ If the villains have guns and the heroes only have onions, and the villains lose and run away Invoke the trope "Only a Flesh Wound" in your novel. + If you subvert it + If your character is actually seriously injured, but invokes the trope as a joke or sarcasm ++ If it's not a serious injury at all, and one of your characters says this while slapping a band-aid on the other: "Just a flesh wound; you'll live." +++ If this "wound" in question is a paper cut. +++ If your character is actually significantly injured and this character puts hand salve or some other wildly appropriate thing, like chapstick, on the injury. ++++ If they use orange marmalade. Take your favorite action movie and pick five tropes from it, and invoke all of them in your novel. + If you pack all of them into one chapter. + If you subvert one. ++ If you subvert them all. +++ If one of your characters mention the movie you picked the tropes from at any point.

Nano_bot and Sparta, I will definitely do your dares. Everyone else, I'll try my best, though the one about a foreign language isn't going to work at all for me simply because I'm using the Aliens Speaking English trope. Sorry. Anyways, here's a dare of my own. +Have your character attempt to get out of a situation using something they saw in Looney Tunes. ++Have it be something other than the 'Duck Season, Rabbit Season' trope. ++Have it actually work.

Re: Adventure Dares, 2011

SandyGunfox — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:30:06 +0800

These characters always make me laugh, so... * Have a bored, jaded character who blandly comments on or mocks the action in between tense scenes. ** Have this character, and especially their jaded insight, be important to the plot instead of comic relief *** Have this character ambiguously aware that they are in a story, and constantly predict the cliches and tropes in the genre **** Calling these tropes and cliches out by the formal or common terms (such as tropes) for them. ***** Have them do the last by explicitly referencing TVtropes or similar sites!

Re: Adventure Dares, 2011

I've been putting a few dares in the general dare thread, but let's see if I can get a few good adventure ones going. *After a daring maneuver or action-packed scene, have the character say 'And that's without a single drop of rum." /beer/insert their favorite poison here **: If they try to take that drink afterwards and something happens so they don't get it. ***If they keep trying for that drink and don't get it throughout the whole novel. *Have a character maneuver over/through/around some sort of an obstacle course of some sort (either natural or for some sort of training), and have them do it backwards. **If they make it to the end. ***If they make it to the end, then get killed off/mangled/taken out of commission. +If there's a good reason for them to do it backwards other than showing off. That's all I've got for now. Have fun.

Can the characters use knives or frying pans at any point during the fight? If the fight starts by the villain attacking with a knife who promptly loses it only to continue with both using everything and anything they can get their hands on do I still get the points?

Oddly, I have already used a cheesegrater, prior to ever visiting this formum, as follows: 'Twas hurled upon us by a most surly Terra Dodecapus, along with a half-score rocks, a helmet, a skull, and an unwashed cheese grater. Positively unnerving, I tell you. Spoilt cheese! There is no honour in battle anymore. Do I get retro points?

I did this last night after reading this dare: “Yes, I’m fine. I’m impervious to damage, remember?” Marcus winked at her. “Well, what on earth happened back there? How did you manage that when they all had guns?” “You’re going to laugh,” said Marcus. Jessica raised one eyebrow skeptically. “I ran from where you were, hoping to sneak up and surprise them; perhaps get one of their guns. “I took refuge behind a stand selling some kind of chicken pita. I started chucking some of the food at them, and ducking whenever they fired, when I got in a lucky shot. All that howling you heard was because I hit him in the face with an onion, and it exploded.” “Oh my!” Jessica couldn’t think of anything else to say. “And then when the other guy stepped out to help his buddy, I nailed him upside his head and knocked him out. And that’s when I ran and came and got you.” Marcus finished. Jessica started snickering, “You beat two guys with guns, using only onions?” She asked incredulously. “Well, it probably helped that I was a pitcher on my college baseball team,” Marcus said modestly, “But yes, that’s what happened.”

I already have this one! Except I wasn't expecting nobody to be surprised, just a few people know. But now my MMC is telling me he's more observant than that, so maybe he knows, too. :D

Ooh! I'll steal this one for another time - when I'm writing a sci-fi story! (probably next year). :D

LOL me too. I might do this one. :3 I love your username, by the way. :3

This was already planned before I even saw the dare. ;D

Intelligent. If only I were doing that kind of a story... >.>

Using a knife as a kind of segue weapon is acceptable, but the points come from what he/she uses AFTER the knife ;) A spatula might make an interesting weapon.

[quote=Roecourt] Have one of your characters beat another one liberally around the head and shoulders with a whiffle bat. [/quote] Dare accepted. Now, how to get them a whiffle bat... Dare: +Have your MC learn about a major personality flaw of his/hers right in the heat of an action sequence. ++ If your MC learns about it from a love interest +++ If the villain agrees with the love interest about the personality flaw Cookies if they have an intervention about it

Mortal and pestle. Double points for using opponent's body parts in later dish :D

Sounds like the anime The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. Sorry. >.>

LOL. Maybe next year. People should comment on these dares more often!! D:<

I seriously misread "cheese grater" as "cheeseburger." Though that would be interesting, if the fight did indeed involve a cheeseburger.

Re: Adventure Dares, 2011

WhisperDark — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 05:16:57 +0800

It's a good dare, though. :)

Oh look, I can naturally make a jerk of myself and still think I'm funny (until tomorrow anyway)! :o

I have been attempting to do this anyway (sans the last bit) to keep it friendly to younger audiences. Although I've also been killing people and I'm not sure how that effects things. I'll try to add rainbows and daises at some point. The others would have to be in a dream or something because I don't have a world with mythological creatures.

Re: Adventure Dares, 2011

Woad Warrior — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 15:11:09 +0800

This dare fits perfectly with my plan... Though it may be hard to find a place with daisies in mid-ocean. :)

You have the single best avatar ever. EVER. DARES: *Make one of your minor characters a dancer **Make them incredibly clumsy when not dancing *** Make them always end up really injured, but from dancing and/or knocking into things, not from fighting the big bad **** Make them impervious to all harm that comes from fighting the big bad, but really injured anyhow *Have an INCREDIBLY short character **Have their catchphrase/favorite threat be "I can kick you in the face" ***Have them actually be able to do so... ****Even if their opponent is WAY tall

Dare fulfilled: [quote]Gin groaned and rolled over, pulling the covers over her head. She could already feel her dreams slipping away as consciousness overtook her. What had it been about again? Riding a unicorn through a field of daisies and rainbows… dressed in her full pirate costume… while being chased by clowns driving forklifts?[/quote]

I need to have someone throw a cheeseburger at someone, purely for comic relief.

[quote=naydshiko] *After a daring maneuver or action-packed scene, have the character say 'And that's without a single drop of rum." /beer/insert their favorite poison here **: If they try to take that drink afterwards and something happens so they don't get it. ***If they keep trying for that drink and don't get it throughout the whole novel.

[quote=naydshiko] I've been putting a few dares in the general dare thread, but let's see if I can get a few good adventure ones going. *After a daring maneuver or action-packed scene, have the character say 'And that's without a single drop of rum." /beer/insert their favorite poison here **: If they try to take that drink afterwards and something happens so they don't get it. ***If they keep trying for that drink and don't get it throughout the whole novel. *Have a character maneuver over/through/around some sort of an obstacle course of some sort (either natural or for some sort of training), and have them do it backwards. **If they make it to the end. ***If they make it to the end, then get killed off/mangled/taken out of commission. +If there's a good reason for them to do it backwards other than showing off. That's all I've got for now. Have fun. [/quote] so using the quote, but changing 'rum' to 'Red bull' for an epic athleat story

Re: Adventure Dares, 2011

naydshiko — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 07:10:47 +0800

Well, choose your poison. Hell, basically every functioning civilization since ancient times has figured out a way to let some sort of fruit or potatoes ferment into alcohol.

Before Medieval, maybe? So around 200 or 300A.D. and before?
