3 | ''[[http://mspaforums.com/showthread.php?50758-Corgi-Quest Corgi Quest]]'' is an InteractiveComic hosted on [[Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures the MSPA Forums]]. |
4 | |
5 | The plot ([[ExcusePlot what little there is, at least]]) follows Bonabelle Fuzzmuffin III, an [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin corgi]] [[SpoonyBard bard]] and his quest to find [[MacGuffin the Encorgidion]], a magic book hidden in the unnamed dungeon that serves as the setting for the entire adventure. As he progresses in his quest, he is joined by [[EverythingsBetterWithSamurai Kousuke Shiba]], [[BareFistedMonk Huo Quan Shan Guo]], [[TheBeastMaster Baroness Puffington von Berrywing]], and [[WhiteMage Privious de la Cage'd]]. Although most events have operated on RuleOfFunny, it has become increasingly apparent that there is more happening in this dungeon than meets the eye... |

7 | The comic relies on ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' [[RPGMechanicsVerse rules]] for, well, just about everything, and the author has full character sheets available for everyone in the main party, which are kept up-to-date with events in the comic. |
8 | |
9 | The author has started [[http://corgiquestors.tumblr.com/ an ask blog]] where the party will answer questions from the readers. |
10 | ---- |
11 | !!This adventure contains the following tropes: |
12 | * ArchiveTrawl: Given the long and meandering plot, this may become necessary. |
13 | * AuthorAppeal: The idea for the comic was born from the author's love of corgis and ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. |
14 | * AuthorAvatar: The author makes more than one appearance in the comic. As do the readers. |
15 | * BareFistedMonk: Huo Quan Shan Guo, who serves as the party's main line of offense. Not much has been able to stand up to him for long. |
16 | * TheBeastMaster: Puffington's specialty is [[SummonMagic summoning]] creatures, including her [[{{Familiar}} eidolon]] Sparky, to assist in combat. |
17 | * BreathWeapon: Puffington's incapacitates the target by making them [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul deliriously happy]]. |
18 | * CloudCuckooLander: [[QuirkyBard Bonabelle]] gets this the most, but the other characters will frequently join in. |
19 | * CreatorInJoke: Much of the comic is made of these. |
20 | * EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Kousuke Shiba, complete with horse, lord, [[{{Wutai}} Japanese-sounding name]], and [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]]. |
21 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: Bonabelle, as befitting a QuirkyBard, has no qualms about flirting with anyone and anything (Including a room. Not everyone in the room; the room itself). |
22 | * FailedASpotCheck: This has, [[RPGMechanicsVerse quite literally]] happened. |
23 | * FairyDragons: Faerie dragons are small and cute, and [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul make you deliriously happy]] with their BreathWeapon. |
24 | * FunnyAnimals: Basically the entire cast, since corgis seem to take the role of humans in the comic's universe. |
25 | * FurryConfusion: While the main cast is primarily [[FunnyAnimals anthropomorphic corgis]], there are other "normal" animals, including Kousuke's horse Susan. |
26 | * GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: Puffington's BreathWeapon causes the target to become deliriously happy. |
27 | * GenderBlenderName: Kousuke's male horse [[Series/DoctorWho is named Susan. He wants you to respect his life choices.]] |
28 | * HealingHands: Privious fills this role as a [[WhiteMage Cleric]]. Bonabelle can also cast Cure Light Wounds in a pinch. |
29 | * ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: The entire universe of the comic. |
30 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: [[EverythingsBetterWithSamurai Kousuke's]] weapon of choice. |
31 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Often verging on NoFourthWall or FromBeyondTheFourthWall. It's ambiguous what the author and readers' relation to the universe the characters live in is. |
32 | * MacGuffin: The Encorgidion, which is a magic book of some sort. There is also a magic sword guarded by a dragon that both [[spoiler:the necromancer]] and Kousuke's master, Lord Common. |
33 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Puffington is a faerie dragon, which means she's small and cute and can [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul make people deliriously happy]] with her BreathWeapon. |
34 | * PunnyName: Privious de la Cage'd, who was first encountered hanging in a giant cage. |
35 | * QuirkyBard: Bonabelle, much like [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Elan]] before him, is somewhat of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, but a talented musician. |
36 | * {{Retraux}}: The comic relies on a simplistic pixelated art style not unlike a retro video game. |
37 | * RPGMechanicsVerse: The comic runs on ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' rules, and the author keeps up-to-date character sheets available for the party. |
38 | * SapientSteed: [[http://corgiquestors.tumblr.com/post/78622730311/kousuke-does-your-horse-have-a-name-if-so-what-is Kousuke's horse has at least enough sentience to want to be called Susan]], but with [[RPGMechanicsVerse an INT score of 2]], he's not what anyone would call intelligent. |
39 | * SquishyWizard: Baroness Puffington von Berrywing, who is by far the most fragile member of the party. Fortunately, as a faerie dragon, she can usually fly away from danger. |
40 | * SummonMagic: Puffington's specialty as a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Summoner]]. |
41 | * WritersCannotDoMath: Averted. The author explicitly calculates whether or not certain oddball ideas are possible within the rules. |
