City Quests

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

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Fashion Warriors	The district of Sunwaning is known for its fashion shops. Now the fashion designers have set up different obstacle courses (instead of regular catwalks) around various districts to show off their work. Otherworlders are asked to wear their new lines of clothes and pass these obstacle courses in pairs. Of course they're asked to pose and show off the clothes while going through the course at the same time! This is to show off that the clothes are not only beautiful, but also good for running and jumping around. The use of special powers is forbidden in this quest. You must work together without any extra abilities to go through the course.	The further you get through the course the more you get paid. If you make it through to the whole course and push a button that shoots out confetti, you win the whole prize and the clothes you used.	500 Moon Coins for full course, clothes
Kisses for Charity	Natives of Nightwake want to gather some funds to help the mecha hangar to repair the damage done by memory monsters. That's why they have set up kissing booths all around the city and are asking the help of otherworlders to man them. To spice things up, all booths have a collection of magical lip balms that will give different effects to those who are kissed and taste like something they really like. These effects last from one hour to three, depending how long the kiss was.	The lip balms have following effects: Voice altering (makes the person's voice very squeaky or very low), Lies (makes the person lie, even in their thoughts/through telepathy), Soft (makes the person act very softly towards anyone), Mood eyes (shows the person's mood through the color of their eyes), Float (makes the person float), Healing (heals the person's minor wounds, like paper cuts), Refresh (makes the person feel refreshed, like they just had a really great nap).	Five of the lip balms (any of them)
Let me Entertain you	Some adults are worried about their teenager children and need someone to show them a good example of how to use their free time effectively and without getting into trouble. They are turning to otherworlders. They are asking to keep their kids company and show them fun ways to "kill time".	Basically they are asking people to babysit their teenagers, most which have a real attitude problem and will be really difficult to handle. Characters' goals are to keep them out of trouble. Some of them are prone to vandalism and shoplifting, so keep an eye out on them!	50 Moon Coins/per hour
Who Let the Dogs Out?	The animal shelter in Coldreach had a young trainee look after their magical dogs. They did well to remember to lock the gate behind them, but they forgot to apply the charm that keeps these magical dogs in the pen. Pegasus Dogs are, as the name suggests, magical flying dogs with multicolored wings. Young puppies can't use their wings very well, but they're fast and jump high. They're all very harmless and the worst they can do is cuddle someone into submission. Help the shelter catch the dogs.	The Pegasus Dogs are all various different breeds and the only thing same about them is that they all have multicolored wings. Otherwise they act very much like normal dogs and are loyal to anyone who adopts them (which means yes, you can adopt a dog!)	20 Moon Coins per returned dog

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Ice Cold Reflections	A long time ago, when the Half-Frozen Lake was still peaceful, power holders would dive there and find an icy cave (that you can walk in, it's free of water - don't ask how, magic). Inside that cave was an important resource for potions makers: frozen lemonade grass. Why is it important? it makes potions taste good (and also helps with breathing issues). Some divers also went there for some self-reflection, since it was a good place to ask yourself some questions. But please bring the Tower of Potions as much frozen lemonade grass as possible.	Special diving equipment is provided to those who want or need it. The ice cave is full of natural reflective surfaces (mirrors) that show none other than yourself. But the you in the mirror has its own mind and will even have a conversation with the character. It's the player's choice whether the mirror version of a character acts like the character or is a little bit of twisted. Some of the reflections' goals is to try and free themselves out of their mirrors. If this happens, the character will have a doppelganger for a week or so going around and acting in their name (after that they disappear into smoke). This quest and the "Plant Octopi Are Evolving" quest can be done at the same time and you can get rewards for both.	600 Moon Coins, Diving gear
Not All That Glitters is Gold	The river in the Winter Segment is a treasure trove of items people have lost during their adventures. No matter where they have lost them, the would eventually end up in the river and then washed up to the riverbanks. Then it snowed and the items have been buried under the snow for quite some time now. There are likely a lot of different jewelry, wallets, camping equipment and even frozen food underneath that snow. Why not go take a look? We will buy any valuables you find.	You can find all of the things listed and precious gems from the snow, as the riverbank is a great spot for them. However there are also Gem Biters that are very angry rodent-like monsters made of precious gems that eat normal precious gems and attack anyone that try to take them. They also hide inside the snow so you might find a gem and think it's a normal gem but then it bites your finger. Luckily they don't have very sharp teeth and they usually just melt gems into themselves - but even blunt as they are, it still hurts. They're as hard as diamonds, so rather hard to destroy.	Depends on item sold (be reasonable) or treasure
Paradise Forest	The forest on the border of Winter and Autumn Segment is a strange one. Those who've returned from there have told about a paradise among the trees, but have also been immediately admitted to the hospital after returning to the city due to delayed hypothermia. Yet they talk about it with blissful smiles on their faces. What is in there?	Once you enter the winter side of the border forest you will be greeted with a garden-like paradise. It's bright and feels warm, like you just entered a place of dreams. It feels realistic enough to want to take off your winter clothes and just relax and bask in the sun. But it's only a large-scale hallucination caused by Ice Maidens that sucks magical energy. If they take a liking to someone they will encase them in ice and add them to her collections. It might be a good idea to remind yourself where you are while inside the forest. Works worst on people who are mentally strong.	300 Moon Coins
Plant Octopi Are Evolving	Due to the fish monster mayhem last month, the Frozen Plant Octopi are agitated and have started to come closer to the surface of the Half-Frozen Lake. If they see anyone near the lake they will try to grab them by their feet and drown them before eating them like a popcicle. Considering there are people diving for potion ingredients, this is a problem that needs to be addressed. Try dragging the plant octopi up to shore of the lake to make them weaker or fight them underwater to keep them back from the cave area.	Frozen Plant Octopi are plants that can be harvested for (cold resistance) potion ingredients. However, some of these plants are alive and only show it if you get close enough. They will try to grab anyone and consume them. However, once the octopus is dead, they can be harvested like a normal plant - and you might get edible, very nutritious seeds as well. These versions of the octopi have evolved to be able to move from their spots, therefore are a bit more dangerous than their normal versions. This quest and the "Ice Cold Reflections" quest can be done at the same time and you can get rewards for both.	500 Moon Coins

Spring Segment

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Flowers for the Sun	During the months of June and July, the city celebrates Summer Solstice by wearing various flower crowns when going out. They can make a variety of crowns in the city, but to get even more variety, natives are asking otherworlders to pick flowers from the Spring Segment and preserve them with an enhancement spell they teach. After that they can make them into flower crowns that stay alive and fresh for the whole two months and can be worn anywhere.	The enhancement spell can be used on various different plant life so they last longer (for example, while transporting them to another place). Natives usually aren't too familiar with flower language, but some might make a comment or two about the combination of flowers used on the crowns. Of course you can also make flower crowns in the city as well and get paid for that.	5 moon coins per flower crown donated, up to 100 flower crowns
Never Underestimate the Toad	There has been sightings of an old monster thought to be extinct. It's called a Slime Toad. As the name suggests, it is related to the slimes, as it's saliva is favored by slime around the Spring segment. Slime Toads are giant, over 4 metres tall, and attempt to eat anything that's alive and moving (they especially love eating people that are arrogant and underestimate them). The best way to encounter them is to blow or cut them up somehow, as they will turn into smaller toads the more you blow them up. They will run away when they can no longer find things small enough to eat (so once they've turned tiny enough).	Slime Toads are very slow eaters and will take forever to actually swallow anyone properly, so there's plenty of time to rescue someone who has been captured by their mouth. They will, however, be soaked in toad saliva and likely surrounded by Slime because of that. Congrats on becoming popular among Slime!	200 Moon Coins
Taming the Mounts	They are finally back. The Spring Segment used to be famous for Winged Creatures that guided Power Holders through the Segments. However, after the power holders passed away, the creatures scattered and left for a good while. Now there's been sightings of them returning. Your job is to go into the Segments and find a Winged Creature you bond with. Once you do, it will let you take a feather out of its wings to turn into an amulet back in the city. This amulet will be used to summon the creature in your time of need by holding it up to the sky and yelling the name you gave them.	The Winged creatures can be anything you can imagine to ride. Most common ones are horses and other creatures with hooves, but there have been lions as well, for example. They look like regular animals but they are large enough to ride and have giant wings made out of feathers.	Mount summoning amulet
Windy Risks	We know this is probably a crazy idea, but we wish to see if the small village at the north-east corner of the Spring Segment (Valley of Wind) has anything we can use. So, we have developed devices that make people heavier so they can avoid being tossed around by the wind that you put on your ankles. We don't know what else might be there; just that the winds are strong enough to throw adults towards the barrier and potentially injure them in the progress. However, there might be important documents still left there, so we think the risk is worth it.	There are no documents in the village, but the place is currently much like a scrap yard where you can find parts of devices that have been gathered there, as well as a variation of weapons. Gathered by who or what? Oh, just the giant sleeping dragons made of metal that hoard them. Dragons don't exactly exist in Ellipa, but these are clearly man-made imitations of dragons come to life. You can either try to take the parts without waking the mechanical beasts up or fight them. Instead of fire, these shoot laser beams.	3000 Moon Coins

Quest Name	Description	OOC Notes	Rewards
Cakes for the Moon	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 deliver them near the Summer Flower Yard for the bunnies to find (or both, why not). You may even get a chance to feed and pet them yourself.	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.	200 Moon Coins
Messages in the Dark	During evenings a light has been spotted from the Abandoned Port on the east side of the Great Ocean lake. The streetlights there have been giving off an SOS signal. No one knows how the streetlights work as they aren't connected to any electric sources. Please investigate this mystery.	The lights are caused by creatures known as the Doom Dune. They lure people into that part of the beach by signaling for help before forming into a sand monster and attack the people from shadows. The sand monsters usually take the shape of the person currently on the victim's mind, as they can see thoughts due to their ghost-like abilities.	400 Moon Coins
Say Cheese, Nessie!	We can't believe it! Nessie have been spotted at the Great Ocean Lake. No one has ever managed to photograph such a rare creature before and we definitely want to get a picture for our books. Please camp at the Great Ocean Lake and try to take a photo of Nessie for us.	Nessie are very mischievous creatures that somehow manage to slip out of a picture frame just before someone takes a photograph. They're peaceful and mean no harm to anyone. They just like to play a lot and escaping photographs is one their way of playing. The people are really desperate for proof of the creature without harming it, so they are willing to pay a lot. Nessie look like long-necked dinosaurs with flippers and are very adorable.	2000 Moon Coins for a clear picture
Snakes on the Branches CW/TW: Snakes	Due to a lot of rain in the Rain Jungle and the Darkness concentrating there, the trees have started rapidly growing. They reach out to the polluted magical river and from there they are growing towards the city. The barrier mostly keeps the branches off, but they do damage it because of the polluted river. The branches also bring in Coil Snakes that try to slither past the barrier and spit out lightning. Cut the branches off before they damage the barrier too much and stop these snakes from entering the city.	The branches have soaked in the water of the magically polluted river and can sap one's magical energy when touched. Otherwise they don't fight back, but the Coil Snakes do. They're 2 metres long, as thick as (standard) human legs and eat basically anything. The snakes also sometimes pose as three branches as they are the same-ish color.	600 Moon Coins

Beauty of the Well CW/TW: Spiders	There has been a sighting of a beauty wandering near the Abandoned Well. No one knows who she is, but they are worried for her safety. Then one day she was seen entering the well and not coming back up. We think it's high time the well was investigated, especially since it no longer has creepy ominous croaking sounds! The girl might be in trouble!	Inside the well is a stream of salty water that leads to a maze made out of rock and dirt. The stream continues under the maze and doesn't help with navigating it. The maze itself is full of traps like exploding trap doors, sticky cob webs that tie you down (or try to drag you into secret trap doors), arrows shooting out of the walls and spores that mimimize the target for two hours (may make it easier to dodge traps though). Deadends may lead to a fire. On top of that the maze is full of spiders that are venomous and protecting something up ahead. What is something up ahead? The beauty who disappeared, crying and making the stream of salty water who at first seems overjoyed that you found her. But the turns into a Queen Spider and the final boss fight. She's just a bigger version of the spiders though.	500 Moon Coins
Maybe It Bugs Me CW/TW: Giant Bugs	During the last two months the Maybe the Mapleline forest had a lot of visitors to harvest the syrup there. Well, in the past this has always been followed by giant bugs invading the forest and eating away at the forest as they are drawn by the scent. We are pretty sure it's worse now with the whole Dark Energy thing and we do not want to lose such a good resource. Protect the forest, but as always be careful not to stay there for too long.	The bugs are called Maple Mantis and they are giant (like 3-4 metres tall) mantis that eat maple trees. Their hands are like razors, so they cut pieces of the forest down and eat them like they're a bread stick. They usually come in groups of three at a time, from the south.	200 Moon Coins
Out of Body Experience	A new type of spirits has been spotted in the Autumn segment. That's right, they have been spotted because they've possessed the local scarecrows. The spirits have the ability to possess people by kicking the person's spirit out of their body. Once the spirit gets bored and leaves the body the owner can return to it. If they can find their body again. Luckily the spirits that have been kicked out can possess an item and maybe get picked up by someone while they chase the body stealing scarecrow around.	Due to the special ability of the spirits, being kicked out of one's body doesn't kill them right away, but being away from their body for too long (~ 5 hours) will (especially if the spirit abandons the highjacked body). So it might be best to chase the spirit down as fast as possible. Returning to the body is easy, though it might feel a bit disorienting for a while. You cannot return to someone else's body, just your own.	300 Moon Coins
Spooky Scary Skeletons	During night time, the rattle of bones can be heard all the way to the city as an echo. It's like multiple skeletons are moving near the polluted river. What's more, there are also weird lights coming from the general direction of the sound, making it hard to sleep if you live near the river. Someone do something about this!	Investigating the sounds and weird lights in the evening hours will lead to finding a cottage made out of bones (it's only there during evenings, there's nothing there during the day). Inside there is apparently a skeleton rave going on every night, and the bones aren't the best to keep all lights out - not to mention the bones rattling when the skeletons hit the walls sometimes while dancing. If you try to stop the party, they will try to drag you dancing with them - but will also take apart the cottage to fight you with bones. (Ah the bones? Don't worry about it. They just took apart their friends to make the house. They will put them back once the evening is over)	200 Moon Coins

Blossoming the Meadow	In the Spring Segment there's a place called Creature-Nip Meadow. It's a good source for herbs that have calming effects. They're mostly used for anesthetics potions at the medical department, but they have other uses too (the more sexy ones). There's a particular herb that only blooms when people are sexually active near it. Once you've managed to make some bloom, collect the pollen and seeds and bring them with you (but be careful not to inhale the pollen too much). It might also be a good idea to bring someone to guard the meadow from the outside, as monsters are sometimes drawn to the meadow as well.	Monsters possible are anything from the Beastiary's Spring Segment section. Inhaling the pollen will make characters experience a heat-like state. It will last longer the more pollen you inhale (max a full day, but at least two hours). Otherwise the pollen can be used to make calming/anesthetic potions when prepared by boiling it, and for potions that act like viagra as just the pollen.	1000 Moon Coins
Experimente(a)nting	Some florists have been cultivating special tea leaves for various purposes. They have finally made different variations of tea that seems potent enough to market, so they are looking for test subjects. It's an age restrict job because the tea are meant for promoting sexy times. They need you to sign a paper in case there are ... side effects. But you will get paid for trying the different teas.	The tests are held in a hotel at Nightwake Center, which is a full 5 star experience. They are given various tea bags or boba teas to test out and a private room for the night. Of course, no one will look twice if you return with a different person some other time. The rumored side effects may include a hangover like state the next day or possible loss of senses for the next day (like becoming blind). Effects include: Hard-on (makes boners last for a longer time or return more quickly for multiple orgasms), Enhanced sensations (makes everything feel twice as good), Masochism (makes pain feel pleasurable), Stamina Booster (literally an energy booster for sexy times)	2000 Moon Coins

code bases by tricklet

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

She doesn't seem to have triggered this one... either she took the other path, or she hopped over the stone.

[Or maybe she's weightless... a mere spectre... he shudders. Why does his mind have to come up with such spooky images?!]

Let's continue.

[As they press on, they encounter various more traps - including a huge spiderweb falling from the ceiling that gets burned by them before it can engulf them, and of course a whole bunch of spiders trying to sneak up on them - as well as more dead ends as the paths keep diverging. At one point they actually trigger a massive rolling ball, big and heavy as a boulder, and have to dive into the nearest branching path to save themselves from being flattened. Hijikata winces as its impact in the opposite wall shakes the labyrinth.]

You know what? I've had it with this place!! Who knows how much deeper it goes? How long have we even been down here?

[He takes his phone out to check the time... and freezes in mid-motion. Wasn't that a sobbing sound echoing in the distance?]

[ It could be she's just agile! Surely ghosts are not the answer here. ]

[ Ghosts are absolutely the answer. ]

[ As are traps, it seems, and the sheer amount of them has Thoma... excited? Intrigued? Either way he doesn't seem anywhere near as fed up with their situation as Hijikata is. ]

Hahah, it's pretty crazy down here, isn't it? There really must be some kind of ancient city or ruins down her-

Oh. Did you hear that?

Yeah.

[As they quietly listen, more sobs carry over to them.]

...

Let's go. The route that boulder came from should be free now.

[His aggravation is replaced by hope. It does sound like a woman, and she can't be far! They have to stop a few times to locate the right direction, and they do end up in dead ends twice more (at least only one of them has a fire trap, and Hijikata turns the flames green and harmless when the sling web pulls them both in faster than they can burn the sticky thing), but eventually they find themselves at the entrance of what looks like a grotto, and there's the woman!

She really is a beauty, even as sad as she looks as she cries into her hands. Hijikata's eyes widen as he notices the stream of tears on the ground... is this the rivulet they first saw at the bottom of the well?! How can anyone cry this much? He cautiously steps towards her.]

Ah, Miss? We're here to get you out. It wasn't a good idea to come down here, frankly.

[Part of him is really pissed off about the trouble her reckless adventuring caused him and Thoma, but the relief with which she smiles at them as she looks up leaves the castigation stuck in his throat. Her eyes look all red... she must have cried for a long, long time.]

Am I really being rescued? My heroes..! Please help me!

[She opens her arms. Hijikata exchanges a look with Thoma. Maybe she hurt a leg and can't walk? That'll be an additional hassle, but they'll deal with it.]

[ Thoma looks right back toward Hijikata with a bit of unease in his eyes. While he's normally the first to rush to the aid of someone else, something about this is just odd. Crying a lot is certainly possible, but to create a stream with it... there's no way someone so recently lost would be able to do something like that, right? ]

Are... you injured somewhere? We should apply first aid before moving you if so.

Yes... my legs are hurt. I fell into a trap, so I couldn't continue on, nor walk all the way back.

[She waits for them to approach her... and then, just as they lower their eyes to inspect her legs, her body suddenly warps and morphs. Pairs of insect-like legs spout from her sides, her human limbs shrinking and thinning to resemble them; new red eyes pop up on her cheeks and forehead as her teeth turn into large protruding mandibles-- and before they know it, they're face to face with an enormous spider.

Hijikata's sword is already drawn, and Thoma likely didn't waste any time drawing back from the deceptive creature either. For a moment Hijikata is unsure whether the woman might "just" have fallen victim to a curse or possession or whatnot, but when her laughter echoes through the grotto he knows that they've been lured into a trap on purpose.]

You've got to be shitting me!! All the hassle just for this?!

[He's pissed!! He won't pull any punches - the small spiders burned damn well, so this big one likely will, too. And it really doesn't seem to like his fire, shrieking and waving its legs in the air as he sets it alight.]

[ This is really some kind of luck. One that involves a Lot of spiders. ]

[ The flame shield is right back up around them as the creature emerges from its disguise, Thoma's eyes widening at the sight even as his body reacts instinctively to protect them. He'd heard stories of things like this happening, but he'd never expected to live one! ]

Seems we quite literally walked into her trap!

[ It's a tight space, but he lines up a shot with his spear before sending it flying with a strong throw at the spider woman's abdomen. ]

[Thoma's spear hits its mark with a sickening sound - the spider's abdomen is soft, and the moment it gets pieced it leaks a lot of yellow-greenish fluid. If the monster hadn't already been shrieking it surely would be now, but overall the impalement may just be a more merciful end than being devoured by Hijikata's fire. It flails a bit more for a moment, then collapses. The grotto turns quiet, safe for the fire's crackling. Hijikata looks around, but there's nothing else here, really.]

...

There isn't even any loot?!

[Someone clearly has specific expectation of a dungeon!]

[ Summoning back his spear, he makes a slight grimace before swinging it away from them both to clean off the fluid. At the very least, the fluid doesn't seem corrosive and so his spear is in one piece, but it's extremely sticky and doesn't seem to want to get off. ]

Why would she have loot on her?

[ Obviously it should be in a chest nearby? ]

[It should be! But Hijikata doesn't see any chests in the grotto itself, hence his complaining. Either it's elsewhere yet, or they'll really only get the quest reward (if even that, after all it arguably was for rescuing the missing woman - but if anyone actually tries to cheat them out of the money with that reasoning, Hijikata will go berserk, which is likely to change most people's mind.]

Because we deserve it for our trouble! At least an artifact, like a ring with a buff effect or such..!

[But alas, after transforming the monster didn't have fingers anymore, so it probably wasn't wearing any rings in human form either. He inspects the charred remains of the giant spider, but doesn't spot anything of value, so he just lets out a disappointed huff.]

Let's clear out. This quest was a bust.

[ Grimacing at his spear and the stubborn fluid, he lets it disappear back into his magic Genshin inventory for future cleaning. Perhaps it'll be easier to get off once it's dried. At least he knows what he'll be doing once he gets back. ]

Perhaps some portions of it are valuable.

[ Cocking his head, he steps up next to Hijikata to look over the spider. There's... not much left of it to bring back, at least parts that aren't charred or in once piece. ]

... Or not. But at least no one was placed in danger, us aside, right?

[Hijikata exhales, his frown smoothing out. It's hard to stay pissed off when Thoma has such a good attitude!]

Right... unless people came down here before us and got eaten, or took a different path and were taken out by the traps. But we didn't find any corpses or dropped items, so let's assume the best!

[He circles around the grotto once more, but there really isn't anything left to explore, so he snaps a few photos of the monster's remains as proof of their heroic deed, then turns to lead the way out.]

Let's see if we can take the same route back; it'll save us the work of having to disable any more contraptions.

[ Positive attitude makes positive situations! ]

[ He gives a hopeful smile and nod in agreement, there was a distinct lack of corpses, aside from the ones they left behind, so all that was really left was to hope for the best outcome. ]

Sounds good. And nice work with all the fire, it definitely made things a lot easier doing all this.

[See, this is one of many reasons why questing with Thoma is always a good time overall, even in situations like this!]

Hah, you could've handled it all on your own. You're a dual magic wielder, after all.

[But that isn't to say that he doesn't still enjoy the praise!]

Now you're giving me too much credit.

[ He won't let Hijikata get away with out-complimenting him! ]

I'd say we make a good team overall.

That we do.

[Seriously, Thoma has no idea how good he is at effortlessly keeping Hijikata's blood pressure nice and low!! Hijikata is already looking forward to setting up camp for the night, sitting at the fire and swapping stories from home again before they start the trek back tomorrow.]

[ He is here to be a calming presence and supporter, so if he's managed to do that for Hijikata, then it's a job well done and a day well completed. ]

Let's make sure to keep our ears open on the way back, just in case there are really any people in danger down here.

[Thank you for your service, Thoma! 🎖️ Everybody benefits if Hijikata's temper stays tempered.]

Right. But I feel like the only ones down here with us are the spiders.

[And he has no scruples roasting some more of them on the way out.]

Then it'll be a good thing to make sure no more of them get up to the same kind of mischief this one did. Plus we'll be able to trigger a lot of the traps so no one else will have to.

[ There are going to be a LOT of burnt spiders by the time they finally leave. ]

[ And probably a very tired pair with all the trap dodging they're going to have to do. ]

[At least they won't encounter another spider that big! And there's no better sleep than the kind you get in a tent after a long-winded dungeon adventure.]
