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!

Questions

[npcsofmana]

Ask any questions here, whether about a Quest or otherwise.

Re: Questions

[orbislife]

Is there set day for "something has happened"? I'm trying to figure out if Zenyatta's egg will have hatched yet or not

[npcsofmana]

"Something Has Happened" occurs on Day 13! I believe Zenyatta's egg will just have hatched or be close to.

Changes to Home

[npcsofmana]

Is your character moving rooms, or even out of Home entirely? Are they trying to make a change to Home, or build an addition? Let me know here.

[amorality]

Ryan wants his own room!! Preferably as high as up as possible with a window so he can survey things. If anyone wants to help him, he'll be trying to gather things for a lab too so hit me up.

Also, he'll have been working on medical facilities but that comes second to a lab.

[npcsofmana]

Ryan is free to move into any of the rooms that have yet to be claimed on the Home page! The entire sixth floor is the only one that's currently empty so far.

[escapedestiny]

Sam's moving from 5th floor room 5 to 6th floor room... 3, I think? The one Dean's currently in. This would have happened the same day as Dean's arrival!

Quest Plotting

[npcsofmana]

Do your best to do Quests with other players, since quests are meant to be done with interaction in mind. Plot and communicate with one another.

Eggs 101

[npcsofmana]

After a few days or possibly a week, the NPC account will post a log for people to post into. How many people sign up for this quest will determine the amount of eggs, although not everyone will get an egg. Once all the eggs have been rounded up, Rachel will approach a PC with something she found...

[rimeandreason]

Right now Avelwyn is at best, slightly useless even if he somehow gets his hand on a staff/polearm, so he'll be sitting out the more combat-based missions and volunteering here.

[vowlyball]

You had him at trees and birds, honestly.

[itsjustanaccount]

Tsukki is going to maybe be a parent. Oh boy.

[orbislife]

It'd be harder to keep Zenyatta away from getting closer to the chirping birds. He wants to listen to them.

[raeshiel]

Eggs!? Eggs mean animals! Irves is SO there! Although she'll probably think its a chocobo egg at first if its the right size.

[horseproblems]

Maurice has started to get a little braver and explore. He will check out the cheeping!

[soldiernanny]

Gremio will definitely be possibly a parent. Because he's already got a tree full of teenagers anyway.

[floatlikeabutterfly]

Yamaguchi for +1 possible parenthood tbh \o/

[nekogamer]

Eggs seems like less work he has to do, so he'll try it.

Egg Discussion

[npcsofmana]

If there's an egg you particularly want, say so here! You're also free to discuss things between each other. For example, if Tsukki player has mentioned wanting to get the Beast Egg, but Chikusa player wants that too, then it's encouraged to talk things out.

There will always be more eggs later, after all!

Rabitten

[npcsofmana]

The culprit that's been bothering the stock by gnawing on wood and leaving holes in cloth is a Rabite. It's a lot less cuddly when it's giant furry mass that goes up to your knees and isn't afraid to bite off your ankles. When it realizes it's outnumbered or outpowered, it'll try and make a break for it. Despite having no limbs, it's a horrifyingly fast hopper... If it's chased off or defeated, Mark and Jennifer will offer a reward of either 200 Lucre (to be split if necessary) or a choice of their cheaper stock. You have your basic armor. In terms of weapons, there's: knife, sword, two handed sword, hammer, axe, two handed axe, staff, spear, gloves, flail, or bows (with complimentary arrows).

Pray and Take

[npcsofmana]

The number of Chobin Hoods which have taken over the church is around a dozen, give or take. Every single one of them is a great shot with their bows and arrows, but they're slow to get the arrow into place and slow to flee... Although they will make a run for it if things are looking bad. Those that are defeated will drop pouches of Lucre, arrows, and the occasional cheap bow. When the area is clear and safe, the Reverend will come fluttering back up and say he's found something the bandits left behind...

Inngratitude

[npcsofmana]

Feel free to be creative with the types staying in the inn, from your usual anthropomorphic animals to people who seem to be nothing but a ball of hair with a face and hairless limbs to... just normal human type people, although some have the occasional bigger-than-normal ears. It's only a handful of people who are a problem, so don't go too wild with the numbers. As a reward, Miss Yuka will give 200 Lucre and a homemade meal.

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!

Other

[npcsofmana]

If your character has found an Egg or wants to use an Artifact, let me know here! Eggs are RNG's out of a small selection depending on the place. When using an Artifact, let me know if your character is using it in any particular place.

[sweetnessandfight]

If my gameplay memory serves (failing that, my Google Fu), the Jade Egg is a placeable thing, no? What would Sara here need to do to kick it into gear?
