Questboard! This post is for playing!

• City Location Details | Segment Location details
• Remember to keep distances (times are calculated as walking times) in mind when planning what quests to do when. You have two full months, so there's no rush!
• For some of the monsters, additional details can be found from the Beastiary.
• Rewards are for one completion of the Quest, but characters can do it multiple times to earn more money from them, as the problems do repeat.

• Please see the guild page for permanent quests.

IC Note

We are very concerned of the increase in danger in the Segments and hope that people take extra caution when going outside. If anyone finds clues about what might be causing all these things, please let any of the power holders know! The quest rewards have been raised to compensate for all the danger you need to face.

A full investigation is going on about the situation. We thank you for your continued support.

City Quests

Even in your city... quests! [ Click to Expand ]

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Bolstering the Defenses	Due to the abnormal amount of danger in the segments, we've decided to start strengthening city defenses. Watchtowers were built near the bridges, on both the segment and city sides. We're currently training natives to take on watch duties, but until we have enough personnel, we ask that you pair up with someone and sign up for guard duty at one of the towers. Any monsters coming too close should be dealt with and if the amount of monsters is too much for two - a warning signal set out into the skies for the other tower to see and spread the message.	Due to the High Risk quests, a lot of different regular monsters are on the move. The numbers they come in range from just a few to even twenty. The more there are of the same monster, the better they work together - but variety makes the groups more chaotic and more prone to fall apart.	10 000 Moon Coins
Sir, There's a Capybara in My Bath	Animal Shelter volunteers have done it yet again. This time the animals that escaped are ones we least expected to. The Zen Capybaras are always so calm and never really go anywhere. They're perfect for keeping other animals in check as their aura calms them down. Now we've heard reports of them appearing in public baths... and even people's private baths. They especially love onsens and can be seen with a mandarin on their head there. We will work on making them suitable baths here at the shelters, but meanwhile, can you help us find them? Be careful, since their aura might render people into a relaxed mess.	Zen Capybaras are like normal capybaras but come in various colors, usually in pastel but other variations exist too. They have an aura that will calm even the angriest creatures down and with regular people the effect is strong enough to make someone feel like their head is full of clouds. Scratching them under their chin will make them stop doing the aura thing, which they sometimes do without meaning to.	900 Moon Coins, Capybara pet (if desired)
We Never Planted This	An experiment between the Tower of Potions and the Botanical Garden has gone awry. They were trying to combine their abilities to create new possible guardian flowers to help with defenses. However, instead of fighting, all the flowers are running around tickling people. They continue to tickle people until they nearly pass out from laughing. We suppose that's one way to fight... but the problem is they do it to everyone. They will likely lose all ability to move and tickle after a while, but new ones will rise, as the potion was accidentally used as a regular fertilizer in various parts of the city. Never leave your experiments where they can be found I guess. At least when they can be find by summer workers.	The flowers can be any type and they grow up to be around 170cm/5.5feet in height. They're very weak to physical violence and magic, but are very sneaky and like pretending to be normal flowers before attacking their victims.	2000 Moon Coins

Winter Segment

Lights, Snow, Quests [ Click to Expand ]

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
New Cod On The Block	The Unfrozen Lake has gotten some new species of monster fish lately. They keep eating all of the regular fish in the lake! This is a problem because it's a popular fishing spot, as it's close to the airship station. The hospital has lately seen many fishers return, telling how they were mauled by a fish they pulled up, too. It would be great if the invading species could be fished out - or otherwise removed - from the lake.	There are two types of monster fish: Icicle Piranhas that bite the moment they come up from the lake, usually targeting someone's nose or their ear (causing at least a nasty frostbite) and Octofish that are a mix of an octopus and a fish and they spew poisonous ink at the people fishing them up. The poison is very potent, but can be cured by an antidote made from the Octofish tentacles.	2000 Moon Coins
Now This is a Sir Price CW/TW: possession	There has been a report that a very ghost-like group of people has been walking around the Forest of Spirits. That's not the weird thing. The weird thing is that they all looked like the same guy. When a group of researchers when to take a closer look there were more of them, but this time they looked like different people: but there were multiples of the same person! It seems the rumors about 'I think Therefore I Am' was true after all. Please do something to stop people from accidentally creating clones of themselves - or from getting possessed.	Something found from the Underground library has come true: "I think, therefore I am. Never say this out loud near a group of ghosts or they will start thinking they're you and take your form, perhaps even your body. Spoken from true experience. If you see multiple ghosts going by the name of Sir Price, exorcise them for me, please." This means even otherworlders can have copies of themselves walking around. These ghosts are special and can be seen by anyone due to the phrase making them "feel real". The ideal solution is to exorcise the ghosts, but just stopping natives and your fellow power holders will help thin their numbers.	1600 Moon Coins
❗High Risk Quest❗ Where? Wolf! CW/TW: possible gore	Werewolves have started expanding their territory. While they used to remain in the Wolf's Blood Mountains, they have now started appearing on other areas in the eastern Winter Segment. Not only that, they've started to turn people into their kin, rather than kill them. They've been bold and attacking even areas near the city to get their prey. It's an all out war against them, and we need help! We need to drive them back to their mountain! Be careful not to get bitten and bring some silver with you.	Ferocious wolves that walk on two feet during the nights. Moon gives them power and they're almost invincible during the full moon - but they're not extremely weak during new moon, either. Their bite is poisonous and can turn someone into a werewolf if they survive the attack or the strength of the poison. Being scratched by a werewolf may also end up leaving a minor werewolf curse (partial wolf transformation during full moon, not necessarily any awesome powers). Best way to deal with a werewolf is to get them alone (usually travel in groups of 2-3) and using silver-covered weapons. They have regenerative powers that the metal stops for long enough to matter.	20 000 Moon Coins

Spring Segment

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Moon's Favor	Moon Bunnies are creatures that circle around the segments to bring the moon's blessings to all of them. They're originally from the Winter side, so whenever they reach the Summer they need to get help from people. So the people have set up places in the city to make different variations of nutritious and delicious cakes to give the bunnies. You can either help make the cakes or/and deliver them near the Spring Flower Yard (unlike last year when the 'buffet' was held at the Summer's flower yard) for the bunnies to find. You may even get a chance to feed and pet them yourself. The Moon Bunnies are also feeling very generous and giving anyone who gives them a cake a blessing: any item you want will get blessed with the moon's power and will light up the darkness when they wish it.	The Moon Bunnies float in the air as a means of travel and sometimes they sparkle like the moon. They cannot be adopted and if someone tries to take one back with them they will poof into moon dust and reappear somewhere else. The blessing can be received from multiple bunnies and put into multiple items that way. It also works in emergencies (like if the owner is knocked out) even if someone doesn't wish on it, so others may find the person.	900 Moon Coins, Moon's Favor
Thinking About the Immortality of the Crab	A species of monster crabs has been found again from the shores of the Prism Lake. For centuries people have hunted them because legends have said they possesses a gem hidden in one of its many barnacles that was assumed to be the secret to their immortality. However, they are extremely elusive and appear only on nights when moon is covered by clouds. Whenever they're on the surface, they cause a lot of damage to everything nearby - sometimes even further away, as they move faster than normal crabs do. We're really interested in getting the gems to study them.	Immortal Crabs are, as it says on the tin, immortal. They've lived on Ellipsa for longer than people. No one has seen them for three decades, but now they have made their grand entrance. The gem inside their barnacles are magical in nature, but don't grant immortality. Instead they make healing magic thrice stronger than normal. The crabs taste delicious, but don't otherwise do have any special effects.	800 Moon Coins per Gem, a free crab dinner
❗High Risk Quest❗ Hell's Coming Home with Me CW/TW: possible gore, being eaten alive	A big part of the Cherry Blossom Parks has started to move. The trees look like they might have evolved into living trees, but on closer look they're covered in slimes. Not just any slimes, but the Weapon Slimes that live in the parks. Something has made them possess the trees and made them starts marching towards the city. There's a long way for them to walk, but the sooner they're dealt with the better! They also have weapons attached to the trees, so they're armed, moving trees.	Weapon Slime are a type of slime that dangerous due to them absorbing weapons and making them a part of their body. They're very aggressive and don't like strangers coming near them. Several of them have combined each other to be big enough to absorb trees to use them as ways to attack people. The slime covered trees act very much like live giants, acting with one mind. Like a lot of regular slime, they're weak to fire, but they know ways to shield themselves with items found in the environment - or captured people. Those captured inside a slime have two hours before they start dissolving inside.	20 000 Moon Coins

Summer Segment

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Aserejé ja de je	The Dancing Skeletons have made it to the Summer Segment on their "tour". This time the skeletons they've dragged into their dancing are Hula Skeletons. Mostly called that because they like to dress up in different straw skirts, flowers crowns their heads and leis around their necks. As per usual these skeletons have no sense of personal space or consent, so anyone who happens to come close enough to them is going to be bothered. Otherwise they seem to be pretty harmless this time, other than not knowing limit to how long someone can dance that is. Some people might need rescuing.	Hula Skeletons are the friendliest sort of skeletons who enjoy dressing up and looking nice. They can be easily distracted by showing them different clothes or even make up. The Dancing Skeletons will be annoyed, but won't cause a scene and instead continue dancing.	1000 Moon Coins
Dandelion Dreams Coming True	There's a species of lions that look very much like dandelions. They're usually hard to find, as they blend into the sceneries in the Spring Segment. However, strong gusts of wind have brought a pack of them into the Summer Segment. The environment here is dangerous for this species, so we wish to see them go back to the their original habitat. However... we don't have the courage to approach lions. Even if they look like dandelions they're still predators.	Grandelions are large lions that look like dandelions. They mate with whoever, as the gender doesn't matter. The flowers on their tails turn into seeds and produce new lion cubs when they get planted on the ground. Newborn lion cubs have a bud instead of a flower on the tip of their tails. Despite being large, they're very light and often get carried to places by strong gusts of wind.	1600 Moon Coins
❗High Risk Quest❗ Bless the Cursed Rain	It's finally raining in the Summer Segment, but that's where the good news end. Dark Albatrosses have appeared in the skies, and they're affecting the rain. Any place they fly in the rain gets mixed with dark energy that drops on plant-life, the soil and creatures alike, making them corrupted. Plants and soil die, creatures turn into abominations and attack people. The Dark Albatrosses need to be dealt with as soon as possible - especially before they fly over the areas with Wyverns and make them even stronger.	Dark Albatrosses are giant birds, with wingspan over 4 metres/13.12 feet. They're all black in color and have horrifying red eyes and their talons are sharp as knives. They're coated in dark energy, making them harder to fight than most creatures and they prefer to stay high up in the air.	20 000 Moon Coins

Autumn Segment

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Autumn Cleaning	Leech like plants have started destroying the Autumn Airship Station. We've made attempts to chase them away, but more keep coming back. It's very likely that there's a nest (or several) of them somewhere nearby, but we're not brave enough to go check. We're pretty sure the only way the bypassed the barrier is because they're mostly plants.	Leech Vines are plants part of a monster body called a Leech Plant. The monsters themselves aren't able to pass the barriers, but they can send their tendril like vines to eat the material the station is made of. Finding the main body and destroying it will help the problem, but be careful of the vines as they might try to suck anything they can find - even people's blood.	1400 Moon Coins
You Use a Repel	It's a known fact that the Lake of Healing gives someone energy when they dip into it, but also attracts a variety of monsters. Well, we have developed a cure for that. It's still in an experimental phase, so we're looking for volunteers who would bathe in the lake and then spray themselves with the spray we developed. It should negate the effect, making monsters ignore you... but it might be a good idea to keep a weapon nearby if it doesn't work!	Good news! The spray works. None of the monsters approach the person who took a dip in the lake. However, the next morning, after sleeping for at least a few hours, they will find every harmless, fuzzy creature within three mile radius has made their way to them and are either snuggling or sleeping next to them. The spray wears off during the course of day or with a nice, long shower.	900 Moon Coins, Pets(?)
❗High Risk Quest❗ Rulers of the Skies CW/TW: electrocution, possession	The storms in the Autumn Segment have taken a different form than usual. The clouds above themselves have become sentient, it feels like and they're making precise shots with their lightning bolts at anyone there. Occasionally they even change shape and become more menacing, sucking trees, people and creatures into the cloud with winds. They're either never seen again or return as creatures possessed by lightning that cause havoc all around. We've had to capture and lock away some natives possessed that tried to get into the city to cause havoc there. We're looking for a cure, but something needs to be done to these clouds before things get out of control.	Storm Conquerors are clouds that have traveled through the Darkness and have become sentient creatures of chaos. Whenever one breaks apart they're quickly reformed, but the more pieces it's torn into the longer the reforming takes. Those possessed by lightning will return to normal by having the electricity sucked out of their bodies with different devices.	20 000 Moon Coins

Spicy Gacha	A new restaurant has opened as a rival to the infamous Gacha Restaurant. The Spicy Gacha Diner offers similar services, but all the food has a twist: they all have an added effect. Most of them are harmless, (like creating bunny ears on someone's head or changing their voice into a different one) but some of them can cause sexy effects (like a heat like state or a desire to go do some sexy pole dancing) which is why the restaurant is only accepting customers that are over 16-years-old. Come test their restaurant and get paid for it!	The effects range from very silly ones to very sexy ones, but all of them are very harmless and meant to have fun. The food is always delicious and can be either savory or sweet. The best thing? Everything costs the same, no matter what you order.	Free Gacha Meal, 500 Moon Coins

Dirty Fighting CW/TW: murder	Underground fighting rings are nothing new, but I have something that's new and exciting. I'm hosting a fighting ring where I've invited rival gangs to take part in. I want them gone. Break all their bones, maul their faces - kill them. Make it look like it's part of the fight to not rise anyone suspicions. If you manage to kill someone by "accidentally punching too hard", you will get the highest reward.	This quest is all about violence. However, there may be cops in disguise in the audience so it's possible to get your character into huge problems, should you so wish. Though if it looks like an accident, maybe they won't get a long sentence. Feel free to also have been "invited" by this mysterious someone to be a fighter, especially if your character has been involved with dealing with gangs before.	10000 Moon Coins
It's For Your Own Good	We have plenty of debts to collect, but not enough collectors for the job. At least not collectors intimidating enough. We wish to have the aid of power holders so they can use their powers to get a point across: that paying the money is for their own good. And if they don't listen, you're free to break some bones to give them reminders of what happens if they don't come up with the money.	Debts are collected from various different kinds of people from different districts and then brought to a specific drop point to get a reward. Those who try to steal the debt money will get another debt collector after them.	2000 Moon Coins per 2 debts collected

[Rinku follows along happily. The second they're into the apartment, she starts undoing the armour pieces on her outfit and piling them up beside the door where the shoes go, leaving the minidress and socks on underneath. Her spotted tail swishes back and forth, and she suddenly seems to realize it's there and touches her ears.]

Oh! Ehe. I guess I did it on automatic.

[She shakes her head and then looks towards Amy, ears flicking.]

Right, you were gonna get your other clothes, right?

[freedomfighterhammer]

Eheh, I’d seen them earlier, but I thought you had done it on purpose.

And yes, I should! Unless you don’t mind a half-naked hedgehog!

[She starts to head back, a little slowly in case Rinku doesn’t mind.]
