Quests and Updates

List of quests beneath the cut!


Eggs 101
Past the residential portion of Domina, to the west, a small clearing sandwiched between trees and hillside cliffs lays. While this is usually a quiet area, today it's anything but. Those passing by will hear a chorus of various chirps, sounding larger than the usual birds in the trees. Following the sound will have people find Rachel, the daughter of the general store owners, crouched behind a bush. She's peering at... Do those eggs have feet?
➤ Minor NPC Involvement
➤ Artifact reward
➤ Eggs
➤ Amalette the Courier Pelican is wandering all around town, and will cheerfully tell anyone who stays around her long enough "Super-duper hidden treasure~! Over-rover by the clearing~!"


Rabitten
Whether you hear it from Mark, looking despondent in his shop, or from Jennifer, hanging around the marketplace and glad to vent frustration, it becomes apparent that there's a problem at the General Store. Something has been gnawing on their stock, and the couple will reward whoever can catch the little menace responsible.
➤ Amalette the Courier Pelican will chat about the couple being upset about store troubles, directing people to either of the pair.


Pray and Take
Reverend Nouvelle is wandering throughout all of Domina... Except for anywhere near the Church he's supposed to be tending. Feathers literally ruffled and his taloned hands fidgeting, he'll ask any new face if they have any experience in chasing away bandits. It looks like a group of thieving Chobit Hoods has taken over the Church. He needs assistance chasing them out. He can't offer any reward himself, but certainly a group of bandits like that would drop something of value...
➤ Artifact reward


Inngratitude
Miss Yuka, the proprietor of Domina's sole inn, is having a problem. She's having a couple of problems, actually. You see, a few of her patrons have stopped being patrons, but they've refused to move out of the rooms she's rented to them. However, a plump matronly bird can't exactly do much in that area... So she'll reward anyone who can help her kick out each loiterer.
➤ "No pay~ No stay~ But Miss Yuka needs help to get them away~." Unlike most of Amalette's gossip, this one has actually been encouraged by Miss Yuka, a fact the pelican will gladly tell anyone.





Welcome to the first Quests post! As this is the first one, feel free to ask as many questions as you like.

Not only is this a Quests post, but there are top levels for other things as well!
- Questions
- Changes to Home
- Quest plotting
- Other

Keep in mind that Quest posts happen every two months, so there's no rush to get one up or complete it.

Unless a Quest has "NPC Involvement" attached to it, the Quest is in the hands of the players... within reason. (Ex.: taking out a band of troublesome Chobit Hoods should not evolve into fighting the King of the Bandits and stealing the title for yourself.) Any other details necessary for a Quest will likely be found in "Questions" and "Quest Plotting". Remember to communicate with your fellow players!

Pumpkiller

[npcsofmana]

It's BOSS BATTLE TIME, everyone!

The Boss Pumpkin cannot move from its spot. However, it does use various vines to lash out hard enough to knock people off their feet and even break limbs if you're really unlucky. For those who get too close to the front, the pumpkin might burp at them which has a very brief stunning effect. It's not magic, it just stinks.

The smaller pumpkins have limited mobility. For the most part, they shoot their vines out to trip people. Occasionally, however, they will use their grip to tug themselves over to the person and try to gnaw on them. It's not very effective, but it is annoying, and it can be enough of a problem if enough of them gather onto a single target.

This is a free for all fight. I will not be mod-NPCing any of the pumpkins, so feel free to use them however you want in your threads. The only rule is that the final definitive blow cannot be struck against the Giant Pumpkin. After an OOC week has passed, a wrap-up top level will be posted in the log.

Feel free to use this thread for ooc plotting with your fellow players!

Regains

[npcsofmana]

This is a regain event. If your character wants to regain the use of a power/ability or be given items from home, then they must participate in the event log. This doesn't mean they have to fight the Giant Pumpkin, merely participate in the event portion of the log in some capacity.

If you want to participate in the log but do not want your character to get a Regain, that's fine. Simply don't respond to this post.

If you do want your character to get a regain, respond below with a link to where you've participated in the log and choose from one of the options below. If you want, you can respond first and then edit in a participation link later. You have a week to do this.

A list of what your character has a chance to regain:

- A power/ability that they canonly have but which was nerfed (explain what this power can do when requesting it)

- An item of theirs from home (as with above, explain what it can do if it has any special abilities. can be an item not theirs, but should be discussed with me beforehand)

- An elemental favor from one of the Mana Spirits of Fa'diel (offers a one time magical spell)

- For this event only, two people will be chosen for a set of Mystery Prizes. They will be plot relevant items, and the winners will be RNG'd from the list of whoever signs up for this. As this is not guaranteed, people who sign up for this chance are free to also put in their request a Plan B for any of the other choices above. I will RNG the winners after a week.

Re: Regains

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

An item (or would it be considered a set of items?) Skyfire would like to get his tool box (plus tools) back. He can live without the stuff that was nerfed, but he'll really want his tools when he eventually gets hurt. They're in a rough carved wooden box and there are about 20 of them in total.

They don't really have powers, it just took him a long time to make them and it's very hard for him to do anything with fine precision without them. Like repairs, writing, tinkering...

[npcsofmana]

One of the non-mobile pumpkins that have been still near the giant monstrous one rocks back and forth before shattering and a pale light darts straight for Skyfire.

A small gust of wind picks up, twisting in a miniature tornado before him, before a small fat creature with large ears and pale green skin takes shape. They seem quite cheerful, bobbing in place as they observe Skyfire, before another twist of wind has them disappearing.

Their reappearance happens only a second later, an enormous twist of wind which sends some leftover and motionless pumpkins scattering... and which reveals his tool box once the dust has cleared. The creature is draped across it, exhausted and puffing up like a balloon, but quickly disappears again before much can be done about it.

Re: Regains

[orbislife]

I'd like Zenyatta to regain the ability to channel Omnic energy which allows him to hover and to levitate (and fire) his Orbs of Destruction.

(Orb of Harmony/Discord will probably have to be a future regain as I tie it closer to Transcendence than "simple" hovering and releases of energy.)

Zenyatta vs Small Pumpkins

[npcsofmana]

One of the non-mobile pumpkins that have been still near the giant monstrous one rocks back and forth before shattering and a golden light darts straight for Zenyatta.

Stopping just short of the monk, the air ripples with gold shimmers and a tiny figure begins to form out of it all. Their gold body seems almost molten, forming a protective shell and pointed crown for a creature peeking out from inside. Amethyst eyes- literally so- peer up at him. They float up to him, gold body flowing through the air, and press their lips to his forehead.

Immediately, he'll feel Omnic energy start to flow through him. The creature only stays there for a split second before disappearing in a tiny starburst of light.

Re: Regains

[escapedestiny]

First choice: Sign Sam up for mystery prize!

Second choice: Would like to get Sam's memory box back. There's nothing dangerous or with special powers in it (unless you count a lighter or a pocket knife), mostly just photos and knick-knacks. Hopefully since they're all small things it will count as one? Idk, will of course change this if needed!

Links: one, two

[npcsofmana]

With the defeat of the giant pumpkin, two items go shooting out from it. Through luck or coincidence, Sam is in the path of one of them. He's free to dodge it or catch it, because it's not really harmful at all.

After all, it's just a broom.

Admittedly, Sam will come to find that it's a rather well cared for broom despite having just been shot out from a giant angry jack-o-lantern. It seems like there's a mix of old and new bristles at it, making quite the fluffy and questionably effective end, and the broom handle has been made longer. This is apparent because what is obviously new wood has been put between one end of the handle and the rest of the broom. It's much smoother and of a different kind of wood than the rest of it.

The longer he looks over it, however, the more it will become apparent that there seems to be something strange about the broom. What looks like symbols have been etched into the wood.

If he experiments and has intent, then it'll soon become apparent that the broom is magic. Certain gestures and movements with it will unleash magical attacks.

The first is an Aura elemental spell that unleashes a burst of glimmering celestial magic in a straight line .

The second is a Salamander elemental spell, causing fire to whirl around Sam in a defensive circle.

The third is a Salamander elemental spell as well, but goes in a burning line forward much like the first spell does.

Re: Regains

[kickingand]

Dean would like to get his samulet back please and thank you. It's an amulet that Sam got from their Uncle Bobby when Dean was 8 that Sam then gave to Dean as a Christmas Present (it was supposed to be for John but John sucks and is a liar liar pants) and it's said to be a "protective charm" but it more so is an amulet that will burn hot in God's presence.

SO YUP. If he could have it back he will be the happiest.

here's a link!

[npcsofmana]

One of the non-mobile pumpkins that have been still near the giant monstrous one rocks back and forth before shattering and a burning light darts straight for Dean.

It stops just short of colliding into him, a flame burst that twists before him until what looks like a small creature made of flame takes shape in the fire. Their golden gaze does a sweep of him and, just like that, the fire extinguishes itself... before bursting to life again, spitting out a familiar amulet right towards his chest from the flames.

Despite this seemingly careless treatment, the amulet is in the same shape as when Dean last saw it. The flame flicker a little bit, weaker, but the creature seems satisfied as they extinguish again.

[elementofloyalty]

Rainbow Dash would like the full extent of her speed back. Aside from the obvious speed issues, this would let her perform the legendary super-awesome Sonic Rainboom. Which is mostly just a cool thing. Mostly.

[npcsofmana]

One of the non-mobile pumpkins that have been still near the giant monstrous one rocks back and forth before shattering and a pale light darts straight for Rainbow Dash.

A small gust of wind picks up, twisting in a miniature tornado before him, before a small fat creature with large ears and pale green skin takes shape. They seem quite cheerful, bobbing in place as they observe Rainbow Dash. Giving a satisfied nod, they reach over to pap her on the snout.

The effect of such seemingly mundane contact is immediate: she'll feel a rush of speed and somehow the knowledge that there's nothing holding her back from her Sonic Rainboom now. The creature doesn't stick around for long, only giving another nod before disappearing in a twist of wind.

[gunbladegrrl]

Maria would like the ability to Junction back. This allows her to increase her strength, speed, and various other (blatantly RPG) stats by amplifying them with stored magical energy.

[mithrarin]

Dust would like his Dust Storm back. It lets him spin Ahrah at speed, creating a wind that draws enemies and items in to be attacked, and also vastly amplifies magic that it draws in.

[kokuyoyo]

Chikusa would get his Rain flames back. Besides allowing him to be able to use Rings, this mostly is just going to make his inability to feel pain even worse because of Rain's tranquility effect being out of whack in his body.

[chattychat]

The Judge would like to be able to have his Cat Eyes back to normal. This lets him see things other characters wouldn't (the Personas of a Persona character, a supernatural connection to another character, ghosts, etc).

[itsjustanaccount]

Sign Tsukki up for getting one of the plot items.

Re: Regains

[green_jesus]

Thrall would like to be able to hear the elemental spirits of this world, and channel one of their powers. For the first part, I'd like for him to regain the ability to channel the spirit of air which will increase his attack speed and cause small localized tornadoes to form.

Sunset Shimmer would like to regain her magical girl armor, which is a mode pictured in the Friendship Games. For now, it's a minor defensive boost, as she has no weapon, or pictured offensive magic at the moment.

Re: Regains

[soldiernanny]

In which I need to actually thread more gj ceti I'd like Gremio to get his first-tier Water Rune ability, Drops of Kindness, back.

Drops of Kindness is a one-ally full heal. At level, he can use it six times a day. IDK if you want to have him regain the uses in parts or just all at once tho.

Re: Regains

[farseer_alastirra]

Like Thrall, Alastirra would like to get her ability to hear the elements back, please!

She would also like her Healing Surge spell back, if possible. It's a quick but expensive healing spell; doubtful that it can heal anyone to full strength if they've been hurt without repeated casts, and it will tire her out and make her ravenously hungry to cast multiple times. (Since there's no good way to track 'mana' here.)

shammy linky poo

Re: Regains

[sweetnessandfight]

Sara would like to be able to summon Garuda-Egi, please. (Or, if you want to make it something similar using the Legend of Mana elemental critters, that works too. It'll blow HER mind, but. If that makes more sense here, I'm game!)

Garuda-Egi is the essence of the primal spirit of Garuda, the Ixali primal of air and wind, coalesced into a form that the summoner can use and control. There are really only three abilities it could be using here, since Sara wouldn't be regaining her summoner magic as well. They are:

Wind Blade, which is pretty much exactly what it entails. Does a little damage.

Shockwave, which knocks a target back, also doing a little damage, but not as much as Wind Blade.

And Aerial Slash, which does a little damage in a cone, so it can affect more than one enemy at a time.

(That or if that makes Garuda-egi too strong, I think I'd pick Shockwave as a single power it gets. I don't want to go TOO crazy...)

Sara's required presence!

[thebiggestguy]

Last but not least for me, Dread would like to regain his ability to summon Titan-Egi. Like Sara's Garuda, it's the coalesced and tamed essence of a primal. Titan's gift is to draw the attention of foes, and it has both a single-target and AOE attack that draw enemies to prefer it over other targets. It can also shield itself to take less damage for a short time.

[frigidi]

I would like Shouto to regain one half of his quirk. He has the ability to control both ice and fire, and instead of grabbing both of those I would like Shouto to get his fire control back please!

participation link here!

[nekohohoho]

Ken is participating over here, and sign him up for the mystery prize! If he doesn't get that, he'll take an elemental favor.

Same deal for Kuroo, except I'll be editing in his thread link in the next couple days.

In the right place this time.

[devoursgods]

I would like Hisame's digimon partners to have the ability to digivolve back into their Rookie stages once more.
