QuestBoard - July 2021

[avalonmods]

QuestBoard is an app you can download onto your smartphones. Each month, people around town will posts jobs asking for help with various tasks like building furniture, running errands, pet sitting, and more. Characters can make a living off of this if they choose to and assume normal day-to-day tasks you would normally find on an app IRL like TaskRabbit. Handwaved tasks do not earn credit toward gaining a title, but the special tasks labeled as this month's "Top Tasks" in the app will gain clout for your character.

QuestBoard Top Tasks are the ones that are posted at the start of each month. Any character may complete them, even if they seem like a unique task, because time being frozen and magic mayhem are a recipe for weird time pockets resulting in multiple occurrences in the same space. (Tl;dr there are no dibs, just have fun.) There are three kinds of tasks, each labeled with a symbol for its type:
 

 

= COMBAT QUEST (counts toward Knighthood OR Unseelie)
= ASSISTANCE QUEST (counts toward Nobility OR Arcane Mage)
= SPECIAL (see quest details)
 

Combat and assistance quests are the most common and will appear every month. Specials are tasks that either fit both categories, neither category, or has some kind of exceptional reward. Special tasks are uncommon, so do not expect to see them all the time.

 

Each quest is worth 1 Rewards point unless your character has achieved Knighthood or Nobility status (See FAQ for more information), which both double rewards points.

 

Do not reply to this post to do a quest. Just thread out the quest and turn it in as instructed on the Rewards Points (Elphame Traders) page when you are ready to redeem. Threads must be started in the month that the quest was announced, though it may start at any day during the month and you may backtag as necessary. Feel free to reply to this post with questions about Top Tasks.

🌞 July Top Tasks 🏄

Task Name	Details
Summer Fever!	Some of the medical care centers around Camelot are getting overwhelmed with a summer fever that's caused by otherworlders being exposed to foreign magic pollen activity in Avalon. They know how to treat it and it isn't deadly, but they need all the help they can get. Volunteer at your local medical center today in any way that you can. Delivery teddies to patients, make supply runs, sing songs to entertain patients, serve food in the cafeteria, heal if you're a healer.. anything helps! Take a selfie of yourself helping out and I'll send you some G for your good deed!
/  Spotted Dicklivery	A friend of mine moved to the Ash Mountains last season to study the plantlife there through the effects of multiple solstices. I would like to send a care package (including my "Famous" Spotted Dick!) to their research campsite. The trip is a couple of days, so you'll need to camp, but please head to his research site about halfway up the nearest mountain in the Ash Mountains. It should be a peaceful trip as long as you're careful not to wander into the Dusklight or the Land of Rot on your way up, and you couldn't ask for a better month to go! Seriously, you're getting paid to go on a summer hiking and camping trip! What more could you ask for!? (OOC NOTE: Though this trip should be safe, the path outlined on the map attached to the quest will accidentally lead by the new cave of Simon the (giant dick of a) Minotaur, as previously introduced a few TDMs ago. Simon will chase your characters and attempt to kill them through various means. If he finds their campsite while they are outside of it, he will vandalize it. Your character will be responsible for figuring out how to escape Simon. If he gets about 50% injured, however, he will flee again... Too bad, there's no stopping the "Giant" this time. Please note that this is not mentioned at all in the posting and you may play it however you would like, so when submitting for a title, you may choose whether it counts toward nobility or knighthood.)
Lavaft Behind	It's come to my attention that one of the creatures that lives in the magma pit within Diamond Fall fell behind its pod. They normally migrate weeks before the summer solstice, but it seems that this particular Geode Slime got caught in the hardened rock during the ritual. It's fine- it lives in the magma normally- but it's stuck! Head back down to the Diamond Fall and set the creature free. Be careful. Once it's free from the rock, it'll turn right back into its slime form and is the same temperature as magma, so you want to make sure you don't touch! Keep in mind that they are fierce creatures when scared, so there's a 99% chance it will attack once freed, so don't even think about freeing it without someone who can fight in your party!

🌱 Dark Web Tasks 🦔

Not the goody two-shoes type? Every realm that has the internet also has a dark web-- a place where illegal opportunities are rife for the taking. Characters may hear about how to access the dark web if they are going around trying to get involved in criminal activity. This is an alternate option for characters who would not seek out nobility or knighthood and wish to take a darker path toward the titles of Unseelie or Arcane Mage.

Note that while characters may complete tasks from either the QuestBoard or the Dark Web, they can only choose either Nobility/Knighthood titles OR Unseelie/Arcane Mage titles.

Task Name	Details
Sickly Sweets cw: murder	I'm trying to figure out the best way to poison a fairy using desserts. This is a deadly baking competition. Create a baked good and sneak it to some of the fairies who can't help themselves but enjoy sweets. Remember, these sweets better be to die for. Find yourself a partner in this so you don't lose the recipe if you have an accident. It may help to have someone else to blame it on if you get caught, anyway.

Misery Loves Company cw: adultery, pregnancy, seduction, humiliation	Someone seduced my wife and now she's pregnant with that thing's child... there's nothing to be done. I love her too much to hurt her.. but I want others to share my misery. Seduce someone, make them really feel for you, then humiliate them. I'll have you drink a truth potion and tell me the whole story, and I'll pay you an amount worth the amount of devastation on their face.
