avalonooc | QuestBoard - October 2021

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.

👻 October Top Tasks 🎃

OR
PUMPKIN MAYHEM!	Don’t Lose Your Head	BUNKER DOWN	A Culinary Quest
Help! Some of our pumpkins got given the wrong fertilizers when they were growing and now whenever someone decorates a pumpkin at our pumpkin patch, the pumpkins animate and gain a personality inspired by the decorations! Some of the decorations are evil and now we have flying mischievous pumpkins running around and various other sorts! We need help in catching them!	With the large number of deaths lately, a number of darker fae have moved into the area. None so famous as the Headless Horseman. Apparently some otherworlders were involved in stealing his head, and so he has returned and is going around beheading those who spend too much time trying to clean up the deceased in Celliwig. Protect the volunteers by fighting off the horseman each time he returns to try to take a new head as his own.	Recovery efforts are being organized, but it may be a little while before Camelot is able to engage in social distancing. There definitely aren’t enough beds, and there have been reports of some people being forced to share mattresses… swing by the woodworking site right outside of the Broceliande to help assemble bunk beds for the inn to help make the fall and winter a little more hospitable for everyone.	Fortune Panda is constantly looking for new culinary discoveries. We have decided to challenge everyone to find an extraordinary ingredient to use in dishes and bring it back to us. In return we will hand out gift cards for the restaurant. (Contact Shiranna, Archer’s player, for more info!)

🖤 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.
