Quest Mingle: June-July


Quest Mingle: June-July
LOGS | NETWORK | OOC | MEMES | NAVIGATION


Questboard! This post is for playing!

Guideline

• These quests are valid from start of June until end of July.
Characters don't need to be a member of the guild to do quests, and anyone can do any segment's quest! The quests are just marked this way to show where the quests are taking place.
City Location Details | Segment Location details
• Remember to keep distances in mind: it takes 2 weeks to travel from the bridges to the edge of the map (barrier). Faster methods for travel exist, of course.
• For some of the monsters, additional details can be found from the Bestiary.
• 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.

Quest Types
• Battle Quests: Usually deal with hordes of monsters or monsters that threaten the natives. Always involves battling.
• Boss Battle Quests: Boss Battles appear when a certain condition is met. Usually linked to normal battle quests and always involve battling. They can be "summoned" multiple times during the months.
• Gathering Quests: Ingredient hunting. These can be gathering minerals, plants or even capturing animals where necessary. Rarely involves battling - if there is it will be marked.
• Misc Quests: Quests that don't really fit into other categories.

Ellympic Mecha JudoA set of sporting events has been organized that will be broadcast throughout the area to show off the capabilities of the city's heroes! In this event, climb into some of the Mecha Suit Hangar's basic models and try and fight each other without weapons to pinfall or submission.All "official" Ellympic quests have a little camera drone following characters to film their event; the drone must be kept safe, but will generally try and stay out of danger to get good shots.2,000 Moon Coins, a medal for the winner
If You're Not From The PrairieThere's a portal dimension that's being used to grow crops for the people of Nightwake since there's not enough farmland, but the natives aren't used to how the seasons change inside. Seeding was fine, but now summer has come to the Farm Dimension and they could use some help!Crops are mostly grains and other field crops, such as wheat, barley, canola, or flax. The farm work involves irrigation (it doesn't rain so much in summer!), weeding, spreading fertilizer, finding ways to keep out pests like mice and gophers that are eating the crops, and possibly finding ways to protect the crop from hail or fires.500 Moon Coins
I'm the Cash ManAn eccentric jeweller in the city has declared an offer of Moon Coins for something "special." He won't elaborate, though, only giving the cryptic clue, "I need something green and refreshing! Oh, yeah!"What the jeweller really wants is an emerald from the Crystal Mines, which has magical properties that can be used in healing items, but he'll take anything else that fits the description, just giving smaller rewards.1,000 Moon Coins (for the correct item), 250 Moon Coins (for anything else that can be said to be "green and refreshing")
Ten-Second TidyThe city's a huge mess after the sun-and-moon incident, but worry not! We've got the perfect solution! This wand we've just developed can clean everything up in a snap! It just needs some testing.Characters who agree to test the wand will find that it cleans up one area perfectly back to normal... but then just makes a mess somewhere else in the city. Characters might even be magically sending each other their trash.500 Moon Coins, Cleaning Wand (Prototype)

Beaver BarricadeSnow Beavers seem to be fed up with the fish migration patterns changing and have dammed up the river between the Half-Frozen and Unfrozen Lakes. They won't be happy about this, but we need to clear out the dam before they cause a flood.Snow Beavers will attack when anyone tries to destroy the dam in whole or in part. If characters succeed in destroying the dam, the beavers will rebuild it again and won't give up until the end of the quest period.4,000 Moon Coins
Ellympic SnowboardingA set of sporting events has been organized that will be broadcast throughout the area to show off the capabilities of the city's heroes! Downhill snowboarding is exciting enough in itself, but some Snow Sharks got past the barriers put up for the event. Better either evade them or fight them off while you're racing down the mountain!All "official" Ellympic quests have a little camera drone following characters to film their event; the drone must be kept safe, but will generally try and stay out of danger to get good shots.3,000 Moon Coins, a medal for the winner of the race
Jaws for Concern
A strange fish has started showing up in the Half-Frozen Lake, aggressively attacking anyone trying to fish or swim in the water. It's also having a terrible effect on the populations of other fish and animals in the lake. We've never seen anything like it before, and we need a few willing adventurers to head over there to cut down their numbers and protect the native wildlife.This is a result of an unfortunate incident involving improper use of creation magic. The fish in question is a shrieker - a very large, very angry, dangerous creature that will put up quite a fight.700 Moon Coins per fish

Face Off
CW/TW: dismemberment
Be careful in the Winter Segment. Glamour Monsters have been spotted again, attacking people they find. They might even try to tear off physical features of someone they find beautiful.This boss only appears upon the completion of another Winter Segment quest. A Glamour Monster will lurk in the shadows and then strike once the characters let their guard down after completing their objective.6,000 Moon Coins

Moving CrewNow that the dragons have settled into the Abandoned Castle, they need people to pick up anything they might have left behind in the Frozen Falls and bring it over to them.The dragons' belongings can be anything (they do hoard, after all!) but there isn't much left there. The enchantment in the valley inside the mountain has faded without the dragons around, so items can be picked up without disintegrating and the fake sun and grass are gone.1,500 Moon Coins
Suspicious InvitationA lot of the newly turned vampires seem to just be getting up and walking out to the Winter Segment. The Forest of Spirits calls to the undead and then doesn't let them go! These poor souls have gone through enough -- they need rescuing.The vampire-turned civilians still have the strength and speed of other vampires, but will likely be too captivated by the forest's ghosts to try and feed or attack unless provoked. Vampire-turned player characters may feel the pull of the forest also, but will be more resistant due to their season magic.2,500 Moon Coins

Plow 'Em UpThe road-building efforts have gone all right, but you know what happens to roads in the Winter Segment? Snow! Help us shovel the road from the city out to the Titanic Dome.Characters can borrow plow trucks and sand trucks if they can operate them (hopefully not ending up in a ditch in the process), but otherwise, it's good old skid steers, magic, or anything else they can think of to clear the snow... even shovelling, if they've got the patience.500 Moon Coins

Bud the SpudWe thought we dealt with the Giant Mutant Vegetables, but apparently not. Shipping trucks to and from the farmlands are being attacked by giant potatoes! If we want to get food in to the citizens, we need to deal with this.While most of the attacking Giant Mutant Vegetables will be potatoes, other vegetables may show up to back them up.4,000 Moon Coins
How the Cups Stole SolsticeFlowers are supposed to be brought into town from the Spring Segment for the Solstice celebrations, but those idiots from the Cups Gang announced that they'd be "stealing Solstice" and set loose enchanted lawnmowers on the meadows. Deal with those before they mow everything down.Enchanted Lawnmowers will mow in a pattern until they're attacked, at which point they will try to chase the person attacking them. They're about as dangerous as a regular lawnmower, so try to stay out of their path and attack from the side.3,000 Moon Coins
It Sucks To Be YouOne of those weird holes in the ground that the Darkness left is sucking people and monsters alike into it out near the Valley of Wind. We haven't been able to find a way to stop it from out here, but what if someone went inside on purpose?The hole will suck anyone in who gets too close and drop them into a pit, where various Spring monsters that have also been sucked in will attack in an attempt to pile up enough opponents to escape.5,000 Moon Coins

I Know, I KnowA Wind Reaper is behind the pit drawing people into it in the Spring Segment. Along with its powerful wind, this huge creature wields a blade that deals mental damage instead of physical, making those hit with it freeze with fear of death.This boss only appears when enough monsters have been defeated in the pit in the "It Sucks To Be You" quest. Aside from resistance to wind and/or mind damage, the Wind Reaper's main weakness is earth magic that can deflect its wind attacks.7,000 Moon Coins

Ellympic FishingA set of sporting events has been organized that will be broadcast throughout the area to show off the capabilities of the city's heroes! In this event, team up in pairs in a little wooden boat and see who can catch the most fish.All "official" Ellympic quests have a little camera drone following characters to film their event; the drone must be kept safe, but will generally try and stay out of danger to get good shots.2,000 Moon Coins, a medal if you get enough fish
Peacock the WalkSleepeacocks have come down from trees in the Spring Segment, and our potion makers are running low on their feathers. Go and gather the tail feathers they shed, but be careful they don't put you to sleep!Sleepeacocks are a type of peafowl known for two things: their tail feathers (which are traditionally used in potions to help people fall asleep), and their cry, which instantly puts people to sleep when they hear it. The Sleepeacock's cry can be circumvented by blocking out the sound or by using magic that keeps the user awake.1,000 Moon Coins, Sleep Potion

Check Out the Crabs in the BucketThe Temple of Death has a large moat right on the border, and Immortal Crabs from the Spring Segment and Killer Crabs from the Summer Segment are both fighting over it! Unfortunately, given the destruction both species tend to cause, we can't just leave them to it. Try and clear them out.While Immortal Crabs are much sturdier, Killer Crabs are much larger and stronger, so any given fight will have a large swarm of Immortal Crabs per one Killer Crab.2,000 Moon Coins
Go Pound SandThe Deserter's Desert may have had its cracks filled in, but the ones in the Des(s)ert of Illusions are bigger and deeper, and Sandworms are starting to rise up and wreck shop. We need people to deal with them before they eat everything in sight! Just don't get eaten yourself.Sandworms haven't changed much aside from location; they still try to eat people and things with their quicksand-like digestive system, and they're still weak to water.5,000 Moon Coins
Watch Your HeadImps are messing around in the Flaming Grassland, popping up to scare travellers and throwing things at them -- including fire and balls of flaming grass! Try and stop them before they can hurt anyone.The Imps don't seem to mean any harm, but they don't seem to care what harm they do cause, either.3,000 Moon Coins

I Wanna Go Boom BoomWait, are those Explodies coming into the Summer Segment too? Now the Imps are throwing them! They need to be cleared out right away!This boss only appears when enough Imps have been defeated (whether chased off or killed). The Explodies are more malicious and a lot smarter than the Imps, and they still have their aura of dark energy that powers them up, so they can't just be peacefully chased away.7,000 Moon Coins

Hot CoffeeThere's a lot of demand for coffee and chocolate in the city recently, and we'd like help harvesting it. Fruity Bats in the Rain Jungle always congregate where coffee cherries grow! Try following them to find the good stuff.Fruity Bats are colourful bats that love fruit, especially the cherries that coffee beans come from. They give off the smell of fruit during breaks in the rain.1,500 Moon Coins
Up is Down is UpThe ruins in the Rain Jungle hold among their treasures some ancient spell scrolls we want to study. You won't have to go deep in to find them, but the gravity spells in there make it tough!Various rooms in the Rain Jungle Ruins can reverse gravity. The Autumn Dragon gravity skill can reverse this for individual people, or there are mechanisms hidden in the rooms to mess with the gravity to solve puzzles and advance.2,000 Moon Coins

Ellympic Beach VolleyballA set of sporting events has been organized that will be broadcast throughout the area to show off the capabilities of the city's heroes!

Strangely, this one has the highest viewership...All "official" Ellympic quests have a little camera drone following characters to film their event; the drone must be kept safe, but will generally try and stay out of danger to get good shots.2,000 Moon Coins, a medal for the winner

Have You Been Pumpkin Iron?The Almighty Frogs have caught the spirit of competition and are challenging people to friendly fights! Looks like they might even give prizes to the winners, so why not check it out?The prizes are just things found in the wilderness that kind of look like medals. Some poor soul might get a rock, another an enchanted jewel, another some loose change. It's really the luck of the draw.Anything that resembles a medal (value and purpose up to player)
Maple Leaf ForeverFall camping is in a boom, but Maple Mantises are attacking campsites in the Maybe It's Mapleline forest to eat their firewood. Try getting rid of them to keep the campers safe!Maple Mantises still tend to come in threes and will attack without hesitation. They're dangerous and they're huge, which isn't great in a camping area...3,500 Moon Coins
That Good Old Tokusatsu QuarryHit Sunday-morning program Starlight Warrior Sunstriker is filming its next season, and they need stunt doubles who can go out into the old rock quarry south of the Abandoned Mansion. Dress up in heroic spandex and helmets or goofy rubber monster suits and fight each other convincingly on camera so the actors can dub over you later!A camera drone will follow the characters to film in the Segment; characters are warned not to damage it, but it will mostly stay out of range on its own.1,000 Moon Coins

Smokey the Maple Bear
CW/TW: Forest fires
Oh, no. All the tree-eating and campsite-attacking caused the Maple Mantises to knock a campfire aside and caused a forest fire! We need you to try to put out the fire and evacuate the civilians, all while still getting rid of those Maple Mantises!This boss only unlocks when the Maple Mantises damage an active campsite while fighting them. The fire is an ordinary fire, so it can be neutralized with magic or mundane fire suppression techniques. The real challenge is balancing that with continuing to fight the Maple Mantises.6,000 Moon Coins

Certified GoldWe're running low on Liquid Kintsugi Gold. Can you pick up some more from Lake Hange? Bringing rocks with the gold in is fine. Just be careful of the Apprentice Crows.Kintsugi Rocks are still plentiful around Lake Hange (the former Lake of Healing), but the Apprentice Crows are still trying to take the gold for themselves. They may swarm characters trying to pick them up as well as use their fire and water magic.2,000 Moon Coins, bottle of Liquid Kintsugi Gold
Home Savoury HomeI'm sure of it -- House Mushrooms from the Mushroom Sanctuary are the perfect building material! Big, sturdy, easy to hollow, and if you get hungry you can eat a piece of your walls! Bring me one back and I'll reward you!The quest giver may have questionable taste, but House Mushrooms are big enough and heavy enough to make a house... which means it'll be hard to haul one back to town. Come up with a clever way to solve this problem.1,500 Moon Coins

Find Me In the StarsThe sexy airship cruise line has a new cruise they're hiring temps for. This one is marketed as a week of debauchery flying over the scenic Spring Segment, with stops at the airship stations to resupply and a stop at the Creature-Nip Meadow to see the sights (and the aphrodisiac plants). The job involves serving food and drinks and facilitating on-board activities -- the Orgy Under the Stars on top deck is a must-do.Due to the length of the cruise, characters will be away from the city for about a week. Of course, if they have powers or items that allow them to teleport off the airship during their breaks and back on again, that is allowed.2,000 Moon Coins, employee uniform (glorified lingerie)
Ellympic "Wrestling"Any TV program as big as the Ellympics will attract imitators -- if by "imitators" we mean "unofficial porn parodies." A studio in Nightwake's Red Light District is hiring for a film that asks the hard-hitting question: what if naked wrestling were an Ellympic event and points were scored by getting your opponent off?While this is not an "official" Ellympic event, there is still a little camera drone following characters to film them.1,000 Moon Coins, a copy of the finished movie



City Crime Quests
This questboard is on an app on the phone and is only unlockable if your character has received a (handwaved) code for it from one of the crime organizations or just criminals of Nightwake. Another way is to hack your way in if you know it exists.
You don't need mod permission to do these, just make sure you find a reasonably way for your character to get there.
Anyone can be a victim of these quests.
Should players doing these quests wish for IC consequences, they may report their character here - or just assume that NPC law enforcement characters are on a lookout for them.

Not-So-Fun RunLet's not mince words -- every gang in this city lost a lot of people during the blackout, and a power vacuum is a dangerous thing. If you're going for those promotions, come to these coordinates to prove you can handle it.The coordinates lead to one of the shady establishments in the Underground Mall. It's set up like one of the attractions up above, an obstacle course to clear for bragging rights... but given the location and purpose, there are legitimate death traps inside, such as spike pits, spinning blades, and a hall full of Fire Dinosaurs that chase you.4,000 Moon Coins, more respect from the city criminals

{ he shrugs, putting the packet back in the pocket, only to blink as hijikata takes off without a word. }

Wha-

{ there was no warning?! of course he doesn't run off at the exact same time!! he won't be far behind at least, after dropping the shirt on the floor along with leaving his flipflops behind. }

You were really eager to get in the water, huh? But you're right, it does feel really nice after all that.

{ it does come across as sheepish though, because while it is nice, he doesn't mind the hot weather either. }

We have to take these times as they come! Who knows when the next shitshow's going to hit?

[He briefly dives down, partially transforms into a shark, merman-style, and delivers an impressive jump.]

How're your animal transformation skills coming alone? Or are you focusing on the elemental magic for now?

[personal profile] emanation 2025-07-14 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That's tru-AH?!

{ honestly he'd been exhausted after the lights went out, trying to keep himself glowing but also people protected for days was not a good time. however, he had NOT been expecting the partial transformation and at first--before his eyes really caught up--he thought he'd been eaten. }

Fuck... Maybe warn people before you do that next time! I thought you'd been eaten?!

{ that doesn't answer the question though does it- }
mayoninofukucho: (Cheerful)

[Hijikata unaplogetically laughs at Ezra's startlement, swiping his hair back out of his face.]

Oh, come on! There are no sharks this close to the beach!

[He jumps again, as if to show off his impressively sized shark tail.]

Why don't you try it too? We have the same animal transformation skillset!

{ r u d e he was genuinely concerned!! }

How am I supposed to know that?! There's countless weird things in this world, sharks being around would be pretty normal--oh actually, that makes more sense. Still!

{ it's weird }

Does it still feel like you even have legs? What if I get stuck like it forever because I fuck it up?
mayoninofukucho: (Dirty Pair)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2025-07-16 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He circles around Ezra for a moment - it's hard to stay still like this!]

A tail feels different. You'd be surprised at how powerful it is!

[He delivers aother jump and splashing landing.]

I've seen people get stuck before, but not forever. You just need to calm down and focus on what it feels like to be human, and you'll be right back to how you were. But hey, there's no pressure! You don't have to learn animal transformation. It's not part of the skill tree.

{ when he's half a shark the circling is a bit unnerving, so ezra's eyes look away. }

I mean I wouldn't mind if it helps in combat... Dunno if I'd really use it outside that though. I mean I'm hoping I never have to fight while in water. Have you ever had to?
mayoninofukucho: (Smoke)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2025-07-17 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah! I participated in the big battle against the sirens, down in this very lake. But I did it in this form.

[He finally stops the goddamn circling and stays still... only to then lift a few sizeable tentacles out of the water, upper body still looking largely human. It's octopus merman time!]

The tentacles let me hold a few extra weapons. It takes practice to coordinate so many limbs, though, so don't try it first thing in a dangerous situation!

{ hijikata may get exasperated in a moment, because there's a moment where he's thinking things through. sirens are usually an alarm, right? but that doesn't make sense so maybe there's an underwater group that go by that name or something.

then he just gives up. }


Um. What's a siren?

{ maybe if he fucking READ THINGS he'd know... but no. }

Though I guess being able to hold more would help, the shark still looked cooler though.
mayoninofukucho: (Don't even think of it.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2025-07-19 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[It may come as a surprise, but Hijikata is pretty lenient with first-time isekai adventurers. How are they supposed to know all this stuff? Sure, some people are mythology buffs (and there is a lot of overlap between worlds, he's found), but Ezra, despite his angel blessings, doesn't really strike him as that kind of nerd.]

They're dark mermaids, kind of. Like how fae are the counterpart to the fairies.

[He conspiratively moves in close and covertly points a couple of sirens out.]

There, those girls. The spiky ones. As you can see, the two factions are at peace now - not like the sirens had much of a choice after we beat their asses.

[That's not quite how and when the peace treaty was signed, but he doesn't really keep up with the smaller pacifist ventures his fellow otherworlders engage in, so this is as good as it gets!]

{ considering how he lead ezra through the temple when it was clear he had no idea what he was doing, this isn't as much of a surprise. but hijikata would be very on point with his assumptions--ezra only knows stuff about the churches and the bible, anything else is a lost cause. }

Dark mermaids? Huh... I guess every species has good and bad then. I didn't know that about fae and fairies either.

{ he'll lean to listen when hijikata actually points out a couple of them. }

Are they always women? { asking for a friend- no. but really since there's a group of them it's a genuine question. at least he'll know for the future if he bumps into any while on his own. }
mayoninofukucho: (Ready to go!)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2025-07-21 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head, then scans the merfolk (who are largely distracted by the land-dwellers who are actually talking to them and bringing food to share, something that's always appreciated since they can't get it in the lake) until he spots a male siren and directs Ezra's gaze towards him.]

There's a guy. As far as I know, all sapient species around here have both.

[He grins as a thought crosses his mind.]

It'd be convenient if humans looked smoother or spikier depending on their, what do you say... alignment, right? Whether you're good or evil? It'd make my job a whole lot easier!

[He says that as if a violent man like him wouldn't be a spiky bastard...]
emanation: (212)

[personal profile] emanation 2025-07-21 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! That's cool though.

{ don't think it's hot. don't think it's hot-

thankfully whether he manages to just force himself to stop thinking about it is not needed because he's looking back at hijikata and frowning. }


People wouldn't be able to express themselves properly though. What if someone wants to look tougher but never could because of that?

{ at least he doesn't know him well enough to call him out on the fact he'd be a spiky bastard... }
mayoninofukucho: (Smoke Break)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2025-07-22 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't be shy, Ezra! The siren might just think you're hot, too; you never know!

Hijikata listens to his argument, then nods.]


Yeah, you've got a point there. Besides, our ambiguous morality is what makes us humans, I guess!

[In all his multiverse travels, he's met plenty of other races, some with more fixed alignments than others, and despite his flippant talk, he understands that it's really a more complex matter of differing world views and moralities - but they're here to refresh themselves, not to talk philosophy, so he gives himself a strong push with his tentacles and propels himself out of the water for another jump... though the way he splashes back in is a lot less elegant than it was with the shark tail, and he laughs.]

Okay, I feel cooled down enough! I'll go grab a bite from the grill stand; it smells so good. Are you coming?

[Magicking his legs back into place, he stands up, dripping water. Whether Ezra comes along or decides to hit the hot siren up, he'll be fine with either.]
emanation: (235)

let him live the lie about hijikata's mayo kink being true for now...

[personal profile] emanation 2025-07-22 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
{ no, he never makes the first move 😔 hot siren man will never know the truth. }

Yup, exactly. People always have a chance to change anyway. At least if they have the right support in place.

{ he'll likely try the animal transformations another time, probably when he's on his own and less likely to make a fool out of himself. }

I'll probably go see if I can join another match now, but thanks for showing off how the abilities can work.

[Damn, Ezra... you miss any shot you don't fire!! Said like Hijikata ever makes the first move...]

Any time! If you want to practise together at any point, don't hesitate to hit me up.

[Nudging his head at the volleyball field, he adds:]

Kick their asses!

[He'll watch with his grill meat (with mayonnaise) and cold beer! Honestly, life could be a lot worse than this.]
