Creator-Driven Successor to the famed Ruby Quest, drawn/written by the same author, Weaver. Nan Quest is the story of Nan, a goat. It ran from October 8th, 2009 to June 6th, 2015, and links to the threads can be found here.Nan is a repairwoman, and today she is doing some jobs. One in an arcade, and one in a hotel. In the arcade, she fixes a fusebox, gets a check for her services, and some free pizza from the owner. She then bikes off to the hotel with her pizza, where she is to fix a broken outlet. In the hotel... Well.The same artist that made the Ruby Quest Fan Soundtrack is working on Nan Quest too.You can read it in a compiled format here.Now has a character sheet. Note that even the names of tropes listed here can be a huge spoiler, so catching up on the threads first is advised.After the quest was finished, Weaver hosted a chatroom Q&A session to clear up some lingering questions. A log can be found here, though of course you should read the quest first if you want to avoid spoilers.

comment
Anyone Can Die: Anna is the first to die at the hands of the Pilgrim. Nan later kills Henry in self-defense when he admits he is the real Pilgrim, and Anderson is revealed to have taken a bullet to the lung a short time later. Then Pablo kills Lorenzo, forcing Nan to shoot him in order to end the nightmare once and for all.

Chekhov's Gun: Subverted by the paycheck from the Family Fun Arcade. After Nan's memories start to fade, it allows her to remember she was an electrician... but the paper is an ominous note rather than a paycheck, which just throws Nan's state of mind even more into question.

comment
Nan and Santiago go back in time to make sure Lorenzo kills the Padre before spirits take over his body. As it turns out, it was their mere arrival that caused Lorenzo to hesitate just long enough for the spirits to take over the Padre. Not that this makes much difference in the long run, as this triggers the final confrontation, which ends in the Padre's demise anyway.

Wham Line

comment
Wham Line: "Nan has entered the Hotel Lobby." This after she just tried to leave the lobby... This passage is where readers discover that Nan is losing her memories of her life outside the hotel... or maybe never had them in the first place: Henry accidentally outs themselves as the Pilgrim by revealing knowledge of something only Nan and the Pilgrim could possibly know: The last line of this passage is when readers realize that Kim has called the Padre to the survivors: The first time the Padre speaks. Also a Wham Shot, as it reveals his Nightmare Face. Pablo's Heroic Sacrifice is delivered like this. Also a Wham Shot.

Wham Shot: Nan discovers that the front door doesn't lead where she thinks it does.◊ In the Anasazi Lounge, this image◊ suddenly reveals that the Pilgrim is attacking again. Also doubles as a Jump Scare. Henry donning the Pilgrim costume. Lorenzo revealing themselves in the burned shrine, after multiple panels of the figure being obscured and unrecognizable. The panel is even in different dimensions from the rest of the quest to really emphasize it.◊ Pablo fatally stabbing Lorenzo, which constitutes a Heroic Sacrifice. Also doubles as a Wham Line; see above. At the very end of the adventure, we see the full version of entry 466,◊ providing some additional context.

Wrong Guy First: Henry, to the extreme. He's the first character Nan meets and ticks all the typical Love Interest boxes. He's actually a serial killer who was trying to manipulate Nan into lowering her guard. In a subversion, there is no "right guy" — Nan ends the story with no Love Interest.

Flashback: First, to what looks like Anna in an elevator shaft she worked on in the past and subsequent ones to 1828, at the Spanish mission before the hotel existed. And now, what happened in the hotel room 211. The kicker? Some quester hypothesized that it may be a case of Past-Life Memories, since everyone met in the flashbacks seems to know a Nan.

Henry is a dark (and somewhat meta) take on this. He's the first character Nan meets face-to-face, and it's a silly, romcom-like introduction at that. He's also an innocent Pretty Boy who entered the hotel at the same time as Nan, and protects her at numerous points. So obviously they're soulmates, right? Nope! He's a serial killer who was trying to manipulate Nan into lowering her guard.

Cosmic Horror Story: Much like it's predecessor, but much less ancient deities and fleshy walls and more Silent Hill-esque darkness and silence, with a particular emphasis on shape-shifting environments and Mind Screw. Ancient deities make a return though, though they don't play as much as a direct role as previously.

Meaningful Echo
 Nan Quest (Webcomic) / int_6bd689ca
comment
Meaningful Echo: "You can't help anyone." "Some things are better left in the dark." Though the gap between the original and the echo isn't very long, there is the Pilgrim's "Now die, and release me," and "No more words. I have waited too long. Now, you die." Though it's not repeated verbatim, Henry's "No more talk. You have to die. You have to release me," later in the chapter is very similar — only he's just finished explaining exactly what he means, so it's no longer cryptic nonsense.

You Can't Fight Fate: Implied by Lorenzo. Nan and Santiago go back in time to make sure Lorenzo kills the Padre before spirits take over his body. As it turns out, it was their mere arrival that caused Lorenzo to hesitate just long enough for the spirits to take over the Padre. Not that this makes much difference in the long run, as this triggers the final confrontation, which ends in the Padre's demise anyway.

Creepy Changing Painting: Two times First, there's the paintings in Nan's first dream in the safe room. The paintings of blood red circles, with the protagonist's bodies silhouetted in them, which grow in form and detail. The red paint seeps into the sillhouette, And one of them actively moves. In one of Nan's hallucinations, she confronts Her apparent husband, who is threatening their kids in a hotel room. On the wall behind him is a painting of a church. When Nan decides to solve the situation with violence, the cathedral sets on fire.

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Notable aversion. Santiago's attempted rape of Nan is forgiven rather easily, although the act of forgiveness is a particular lynchpin in the story. It may be possibly that Santiago is physically incapable of raping anyone at all. In fact the person that saved Nan from rape is a considerably worse person.

Wham Episode: Chapter 4 is arguably where the story "really" begins; we are introduced to all the protagonists and antagonists, as well as getting an explanation on some of the mechanics of the hotel. By the end, Anna is dead, the party is scattered, and Nan is left alone in the dark, uncertain of what's coming next. Chapter 8 contains a large number of reveals, concludes the subplots of the Pilgrim and Anderson, and features the return of Santiago and Lorenzo.

Set Right What Once Went Wrong
 Nan Quest (Webcomic) / int_93ed8515
comment
Set Right What Once Went Wrong: The apparent goal of Nan's many flashbacks, mental time excursions, and hallucinations. Anna: Nan gives her the tool she needs to repair an elevator. It's implied that this helped prevent an elevator accident seen in a newspaper clipping and Anna's resulting guilt over the occurrence, which in turn changes what happened in the hotel as now Anna has no reason to desire being punished. Alan: Nan gives him a pen so he can write a letter to his father before going Suicide by Cop, instead of fleeing and ending up at the hotel like what originally happened when he had no pen. Maggie: Nan convinces her to spend time with her mother in her passing days, which changed the number of victims caught in the chapel fire. Nan planned on defeating the Father by preventing him from becoming possessed in the first place.

Foreshadowing

comment
Foreshadowing: Which is notable, for an interactive quest where things can rarely be set in stone. Word of God confirms that there was one plot point that never changed since the story's inception (Henry being the Pilgrim), so there's a lot of foreshadowing towards it. The mirror in Henry's room creates a creepy image of Henry wearing a manic, evil grin. Most readers assumed it was just the hotel messing with Nan, but it actually reveals his true face. It's subtle, but Henry is drawn with a wild eye — his eyes never quite align, and one always looks crooked. The eyes are a window to the soul... "[Nan] trips, falls, and lands at the pilgrim's feet." And something unrelated to big twist: When Santiago assaults Nan in the chapel, he starts crying even before she fights back. Later on, it's implied that Santiago had Abusive Parents, and he was reenacting one episode of abuse he experienced. It's also implied that that fight was scripted by Henry, so he may have been upset at being forced to hurt Nan.

Two Aliases, One Character: One of the antagonists introduced early on is a creature called the Pilgrim.

The Pilgrim is actually Henry.

Love Triangle: Minor example; though it never takes precedence in the story itself, some shippers saw both Henry and Pablo as potential love interests during the quest's run. The triangle is resolved quite brutally; Henry turns out to be a manipulative serial killer, and Pablo commits suicide by proxy, leaving Nan with no love interest at all by the end.

It gets worse. Now Nan has one too. Thankfully, the mirror Nan doesn't do anything menacing, possibly because unlike Henry, Nan isn't evil.

The Corruption: It appears that Santiago is very infected with it, and Nan wants to help him even after he tried to rape her. Anderson also seemingly nearly succumbs to it, as his face heavily distorts during an episode of particularly manic paranoia and rage.

Red Herring
 Nan Quest (Webcomic) / int_dbca2c99
comment
Red Herring: Lorenzo is not the Pilgrim. The fact that its skull is a horse skull is a completely irrelevant detail. The cloaked, Pilgrim-like figure in the chapel seen at the start of chapter 6? That's not the Pilgrim, but a phantom of Lorenzo. This one is particularly devious, because if you assume it is the Pilgrim, it seemingly gives the true culprit an airtight alibi. Most of the speculation and rambling from characters such as Santiago and the Pilgrim is complete nonsense that has no bearing on anything. If you assume it's Infallible Babble, you're going to be barking up the wrong tree. Intentionally invoked by one of the villains. Henry convinces Santiago to act evil and suspicious, in order to divert suspicion of being the Pilgrim off of him, and to make himself look better in comparison.

Dark Is Evil: Played with. The dark, shadowy monsters kill people, but are repelled by the light, making the darkness frightening and dangerous. The Big Bad is also described as a being of darkness. However, the monsters aren't inherently aggressive, and the darkness can serve as both concealment and a way to see peoples' true colors. And it is the shadowy Beast that saves Nan in the end.

Big Damn Heroes: Anderson, to Nan and Pablo. Anderson again, when Nan and Kim are being attacked by the Padre — he comes down to the first floor through the elevator, generating light that dispels the darkness and allows the protagonists to get to safety. Believe it or not, the finale has two - Santiago buying Nan time while attacking the Padre so she can unlock the door to let in... The Beast, who forces the evil deity out of his body, so Nan can kill him.

The Not-Love Interest
 Nan Quest (Webcomic) / int_f1e68523
comment
The Not-Love Interest: Henry is a dark (and somewhat meta) take on this. He's the first character Nan meets face-to-face, and it's a silly, romcom-like introduction at that. He's also an innocent Pretty Boy who entered the hotel at the same time as Nan, and protects her at numerous points. So obviously they're soulmates, right? Nope! He's a serial killer who was trying to manipulate Nan into lowering her guard. Pablo may be a straighter example; he hits some Love Interest beats, and some shippers were considering him as a potential option throughout the story. His relationship with Nan never becomes romantic, regardless.
