QuestBoard - February 2022

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 Sword = COMBAT QUEST (counts toward Knighthood OR Unseelie)
Assistance Quest Shield = ASSISTANCE QUEST (counts toward Nobility OR Arcane Mage)
Special Quest Swirl = 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.





💘 February Top Tasks 🍣



Assistance Quest Shield
Malted Madness


    Boy howdy is it chilly out, but sometimes I just can't help but get a craving for my favorite chocolate malt ball ice cream! The guy who made it retired a couple of months ago though, and I can't find anything like it! Make me chocolate malt ball ice cream and use your magic to enchant one of the ingredients to give it a little extra spark! No curses and make sure you taste test before you turn it in! If I die of food poisoning, you're not gettin' paid!





Combat Quest Sword
Sashimi Slayer


    Hello my name is Pescario from Elphame I love to eat the fish. I love to eat so much I cast big passion spell on salmon and tuna. Now the sashimi trying to slash-i-me as Giant Fish Warrior Fusion Animated Sushi. He fight with four swords made of fortified wasabi root and sharp magic. One for each sushi arm. Also can fire rice bullets. I have been trapped in tree east of Land of Maidens on edge of Forest of Felled. Defeat the Warrior and save Pescario.



    (OOC Note: Once you defeat the weird magically animated sushi warrior, it will fall into slices and reform into a Dragon Roll Dragon. And yes, it does breathe fire somehow. Pescario really wanted the ultimate sushi.)







Assistance Quest Shield
Cupid's Arrow Beta Testing - Part II


    Last year's Cupid's Arrow Beta Testing went well and despite that the majority of Avalon isn't familiar with Valentine's Day, it being a very earth-specific holiday, this has become a rather popular item to purchase ahead of the spring season. (You know why.) With the base model putting people in an amorous mood for a day (the timing was fixed) it's now time to test one of three new variations of the Cupid's Arrow ahead of the spring release:


  • Courage Arrows: know someone who's struggling to speak up about their feelings? Shoot them up with Courage!
    (OOC Note regarding unintended Side Effect or U-SE: May blurt out every feeling they have, not just romantic.)

  • ChocoShot: This one makes everything you eat taste like chocolate! (OOC: U-SE: lasts about 2 weeks, so you may hate chocolate by the end of the effect.)

  • Quiver of Quiver: Instant NSFW physical reaction. 18+ only. Make your target quiver for you. (OOC: U-SE: Sends character into immediate heat. May last way too long. Seek a doctor if your quiver lasts more than 4 hours. Can cause actual fevers too.)
  • Let us know how it goes!

    (OOC: You can do more than one if you want-- they'll pay for each one you try as long as you report the results of the previous one to them first.)









Assistance Quest Shield Special Quest Swirl
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night


    The Trappist café needs help! Avalon's otherworlders celebrating Valentine's Day and a cadre of otherworlder enthusiasts and scholars have resulted in higher than average traffic since the announcement of limited edition Valentine's Chocolates and pastries unavailable at Avalon's native stores! Its Madame is outsourcing the work.



    “It looks like I might have bitten off more than I could chew. I’m looking for some additional hands to help run deliveries

    to my clients across Camelot and a few places elsewhere on Avalon. I will compensate you a percentage for each delivery made, of course! As well as… well the overall trouble that you might face. Oh! But it shouldn’t be too bothersome! You’re just delivering sweets and food after all!”



    Each delivery successfully fulfilled with yield around 15-25% depending on the size of the package plus tips and danger faced. Couriers can expect anywhere from a harmless route to a perilous journey, depending on where the recipient is on Avalon. If anyone has any questions feel free to contact the Belgium mun [personal profile] resistetmords.






Combat Quest Sword KNIGHT QUEST: This quest is available IC only to characters with the Knight title. Knights can invite anyone to complete the quest with them. King Arthur needs knights to travel to the Ash Mountains and clear the roads that pass between Lotus Pod Mountain and the mountain just north of it leading to the Unnamed Marshes. It is overrun with failed experiments we are calling I.C.E.-- Icicle Creature Experiments. These robots are the result of a failed combination of technomancy and elemental ice magic, resulting in killer robots coated in razor-sharp icicle spikes that they can blast out at enemies with a 360 degree range. There are what some attempted travelers describe as "hoards" of these monsters terrorizing the pathway. Knights will be provided with supplies from Camelot, including tree tents, camp gear, and a horse for this quest.


(OOC: Notify mods if your knighted character and their party here choose to participate, as they will be randomized a saved citizen/prize at the end of the month that may result in a boon for a future event.)






🙈 Dark Web Tasks 🦹‍♀️



Assistance Quest Shield
Daddy Issues


    I want to see if I can have the perfect family life, and to do that, I need to make sure this spell works in small doses and doesn't go haywire with different types of people. I'm handing out single poultices of my "Family Dynamics" ritual. It's a really small dose, so it should only last about a week, but it will force whoever's images you burn along with the poultice to believe they are your true and ideal family and act like it. It's some real fucked up cognitive magic ritual to force people into stuff like this, so it's not strictly legal. But hey, those of us with shit fam's gotta get what we always wanted somehow, right? Let me know how it goes!





Combat Quest Sword
Creative Cutlery


    Sneakily stab as many people as you can with different items!!!!!!!! You don't have to kill anyone, just give them a nice cutting poke!!! Take a picture from afar after the fact and hashtag it with what you used to stab them!!!! For every unique stabbing you complete, I'll cough up 500,000G! This is practically easy mode for money making!!







Combat Quest Sword
Amnesia Attack


    I'll email you a copy of this memory spell. Cast the spell on an unsuspecting target to completely wipe their memory, then push them into a bar fight while they don't remember. Make sure you get it on camera. You're welcome to help in the bar fight, and whatever you want to do with your new amnesiac victim, have at it. The spell's pretty cool-- they won't remember anything about who they are for 48 hours. When the enchantment ends, they'll remember who they are, but won't remember anything that happened during the 48 hours. I'm sure those of you with a creative streak could wreak all kinds of havoc with that one. ;)
