Quests and Updates

First of all, thank you to everyone who has joined

gameofmana and been patient with me as I've set up the game! I was not expecting so much interest, and so I was somewhat unprepared with the first Quest post. However, it was a good learning experience, and I have made some changes to the typical version of the quest post so that it is hopefully more streamlined with plenty of suggestions for people to do.

The most notable is that I have divided Quests into "Major Quests" and "Minor Quests". The main difference is that Major Quests will more effecting of the world, involve major NPCs, or allow for Artifact chances. They will also have their own catch-all log. Minor Quests are more like ideas of things for your characters to do, and they will never require mod NPCing on my account. (However, if you would like a NPC involved for whatever reason, feel free to let me know.)

As a reminder, Quest Posts also include where to use any Artifacts discovered, any NPC interaction you'd like, or asking questions about a particular Quest, etc.

Major Quests

Babites
Remember that large Rabite that you successfully chased off from Mark's shop? Well, apparently, there's a reason it was so large. Literal hoards of baby Rabites have flooded Domina. It's impossible to go five feet without almost stepping on one, whether on the streets or indoors. It's become so bad that a reward has been organized that every ten Rabites which are gotten rid of will get someone rewarded 10 lucre.
➤ From Day 37 until the next Quest post, Domina will be overrun with baby Rabites

Rachel
Utterly ignoring the Rabite problem are two people: Mark and Jennifer from the local shop. For once, both of them seem to be in a panic and for good reason. It appears their daughter Rachel has gone missing and all signs point to the idea that she's disappeared into Mekiv Caverns. They're asking anyone for help finding her and bringing her back home.
➤ Artifact Reward
➤ NPC involvement
➤ BOSS FIGHT

Cavern Concert
A few flyers here and there have been put up around town, requesting escorts. The individual in question, Hope, wants to search for something down in Mekiv Caverns lowest levels, but she can't go alone. Anyone interested is to search her out at Domina's tavern.
➤ Artifact reward

Minor Quests

Performance Anxiety
➤ One of the traveling troupes in Domina has lost one of their main actors, who's run away because of stage fright. (He's actually the replacement for a sick actor.) They don't have anyone they can pick up so soon, so they're asking anyone if they'll help track their actor down.
➤ Reward: 50 Lucre and a free show

Urn Mistaken
➤ Up on the Domina town billboard, someone is offering a reward to help them catch a swindler. He sold their younger siblings a clearly busted vase with the lie that it's magic. Catch the swindler so that they can have some strong words with them.
➤ Reward: Homemade strawberry cookies and an actually nice vase from the swindler's stock, assuming you can find anything not supremely flawed

Get the Powder
➤ One of the stall owners in the marketplace of Domina sells refined paraylsis powder. However, to get that powder, they need it from the caps of Mushbooms. Usually they have a guy go to Mekiv Caverns for it, but he got his leg broken, so they're looking for other people who will go instead.
➤ Reward: 10 lucre for each cap, with a bonus of a very small pouch of paralysis powder if enough caps are brought

Sword of the Skeleton
➤ A weapons historian stopping in town has heard that skeletal warriors lurk about in Mekiv Caverns. He's always been curious about the weapons they wield, especially in different areas, so he's willing to pay someone to go down there and bring him back a sword from one of the creatures.
➤ Reward 100 lucre in exchange for the sword, or a mantle he bought in another town that can protect against magic to some extent

Showbiz Scuffle
➤ A musical troupe in town thinks a rival troupe is sabotaging their stuff: instruments, clothes, etc. They want someone to do a stakeout and catch the jerks, since they've just bought new instruments to replace the old sabotaged ones.
➤ Reward: Some old fighting gauntlets, decent protective boots (hopefully they fit), and an Aura enchanted pendant

Ken will be using his Wheel artifact to the west of Domina! ~~after leaving it in his pocket for a hundred years like the smart dog he is~~

The second Ken pulls the Wheel out of his pocket, it begins to tug itself in his hand. First, nothing more than a few attempts at spinning, easily stopped, but, as the seconds pass, it begins to spin so rapidly and violently that not even Kong Channel has a chance of stopping it. For a mere wooden wheel, it seems impossibly durable. Then, seemingly propelled by its own speed, it shoots off in a large arch into the emptiness of Fa'diel.

As it hits the earth, instead of shattering into a thousand pieces, the Wheel's impact is like that of something much larger. Dirt, dust, and something much darker bellows out in a burst of wind that reaches all the way even to the outskirts of Domina. There's a chance Ken's senses will get overwhelmed by it all, both sight and smell, but the scent carried through the dirt tells enough if he can focus: dry dirt, stubborn shrubs, old blood, and, if he remembers it, the smell of mice.

Before the dust can settle, there's a burst of light, and both factors combined make things a little difficult to see as things finally calm down. However, soon enough, everything clears up. Off in the distance, an enormous road has been carved through the empty landscape with dead trees and hard packed dirt practically blossoming from its edges. In comparison to the tiny settlement of Domina or the downwards focusing Mekiv Caverns, the rough highway seems to take up miles of space.
