4.1 questboard update

The competition between guilds continues! Work together, or... don't! Maybe you just want to see chaos instead. Maybe you're tired of collaborating and it's time for more reunions.

OFF WORLD

QUEST: HELP LORD BAELIAL

Currently under repairs, Baelial World is in need of promotion for its reveal next month, and has outsourced most of its advertising to the agency: Birds, Avians, Oh My! Each volunteer is assigned a quirky avian-themed mascot costume of which only five versions are available (pigeon, peacock, goose, parrot, and canary. Absolutely random, and obviously not related to any other organizations that use these animals) and given a stack of flyers to hand out throughout the city. Location is up to the volunteer, just make sure to hand out all those flyers, and report in at the end of your shift. The more flyers you hand out, the more points you get! Points for what exactly…? Don’t worry about it!

REWARD: A stipend because we believe in paying our volunteers, a day pass to the Baelial World amusement park, and perhaps… it counts towards Guild Wars in the ON world? (It does, you can count it as participation.) But that has to be a coincidence, right?

QUEST: 101 (NOT LITERALLY) DALMATIANS (LITERALLY)

The local Crane City Dalmations Kennel Club needs your help! In preparation for their annual dalmatians dog show, they need volunteers to help… find their dalmatians… all of which were unfortunately lost by their underpaid and overworked intern, Kenny. Overall, these spiffed up dalmatians are easy to recognize by their luxurious coats, diamond collars, and names like Sir Kensington Paddington the Seventh. Several have been spotted at various locations throughout the city! Help reunite these sweet dogs with their panicked, wailing owners and dodge Animal Control with their absurdly large human-sized nets meant for dogs.

REWARD: An large amount of OFF world money paid in the form of cash or vouchers to future dog shows, a diamond-studded leash and collar (adjustable for all neck sizes, dogs or otherwise) and the eternal gratitude of Kenny.

FAILURE: Crying Kenny noises.

ON WORLD

QUEST: LET THE GAMES BEGIN

While Avisle City gears up for the local Guild Wars, numerous local shops have pitched in to help advertise! Whether it’s designing posters, crafting merchandise (hats, shirts, etc), serving samples (peacock canapes, anyone?), or even running small events – adventurers are encouraged to think of creative ways to help support their guild. Remember, this is advertising only, leave the real competitive play to the wars! Players can submit actual designs using whatever is at their disposal (MSPaint, photo of pencil/crayon/watercolor on paper, etc) if they like! Have fun with it!

REWARD: Free advertising and support from your local businesses, as well as a pin in the shape of your guild mascot, which allows you to teleport to your guild base 5 separate times.

QUEST: NEVER GOING TO GIVE YOU UP

As the city ramps up in preparation for guild wars, rumors have been spreading of spooky supernatural activity at several courtesan houses located in the Nightlife District. Rumors of wailing at night, guests ousted from their rooms, and momentary possession abound, but all revolve one story in particular: of a beautiful courtesan separated from his lover, who spent the rest of his days waiting for news from his one true love. Adventurers are encouraged to spend the night to investigate the hauntings more closely, and to think of creative solutions that might console the courtesan’s ghost… Perhaps… a way to reunite them in the afterlife? Letters, possessions, or perhaps… a wedding ceremony? Make sure to bring a partner for the ceremony, marriage takes two after all!

REWARD: A crimson bridal veil that grants the wearer the ability to see illusions OR a piece of scarlet thread that leads the wearer to their party members (or otherwise favored individual) when tied around their finger.

FAILURE: A strange, crushing belief that love is just chemicals that lasts for three days.

[!]

Just so. Let us make our appeal before he takes his leave.

[Else Kenny and the owner will despair, and that's something he'd rather avoid. Roland strides up to the man holding the net—"Beg pardon, but the owner of the dog in your possession has been in search for some time now . . . "—and is summarily rebuffed on the basis that he isn't the owner. Tartaglia, who's yet to register in the man's radar, is free to make his own move unimpeded while Roland continues to argue.]

[lackluster]

[ While Roland tries the polite and less aggressive approach, Childe comes up from behind the man's position and literally snatches the net from his hands. The man splutters around, utterly confused over what happened. ]

You heard him. This dog has an owner, so we'll be taking this little guy with us.

[ He's never been afraid of just getting straight into a confrontation... ]

[duskspear]

[How bold! Roland can't help staring while the man scrambles for the words to counter Childe's point. There is strength in numbers, however, and he leaps at the chance before a rebuttal can come.]

Indeed, and this one so happens to be a participant in the upcoming annual dalmatians dog show. The dog's escape is by no means your fault, but I doubt the owner will take the news of his incarceration kindly with the show right around the corner.

[Animal Control is an admirable force with which to reckon. The man, now Kenny's mortal enemy and ineffectually groping the air in an attempt to snatch the net back from Childe, once again cites that he cannot relinquish the dog when neither of them is the owner.]

[lackluster]

[ Even if Animal Control is persistent, he will be no match for Childe's stubbornness. He laughs easily and pats the man on the shoulder. There, there. ]

We said we'd take care of it, right? Promise we won't snitch on you so you won't get in trouble.

[ The dalmatian whines inside the net, so Childe saves it from its webbed prison. He passes the now-empty net back to Mr. Animal Control, who simply gawks at him in return. ]

Thanks for cooperating.

[ This man is n ot cooperating, but he clearly has no choice. ]

[duskspear]

[What an unstoppable energy. There's no fighting this one.

Sir Kensington Paddington the Seventh whines again as he seeks purchase on Childe's shoulder, tail wagging in delight at his liberation. Roland smiles apologetically at the flabbergasted man, who was only trying to do his job, before they take their leave.]

Well done. How is he?

[lackluster]

[ With Sir Kensington Paddington on his shoulder, Childe feels like he's on top of the world. He laughs as he reaches over to start scritching the fellow behind the ears. ]

Seems to be alright. Maybe a little shaken, but he'll survive. [ Sir Kensington yips at that. ] Let's take him back, yeah?

[ Unless there are other dogs to save from Mr. Animal Control... ]

[duskspear]

[Luckily for everyone involved, there's no stray whining of a dog or two to suggest that there's more than the one sir draped over Childe's shoulder. The man, still dazed by the utter audacity to yoink his net right out of his hand, shakes his head and drives off before another incident can unfold.]

Indeed, I imagine both Kenny and his owner will be pleased to see him safe and sound.

[Roland gives Sir Kensington a thoughtful look.]

He seems rather taken with you. Is it all right if we return this way?

[lackluster]

Hm, is he? Probably because I snatched him from Mr. Animal Control.

[ Said Mr. Animal Control is long gone by now, but that's fine. At least both he and Roland can now return the puppy to his rightful owner. He nods his head once. ]

That's fine. I'll follow your lead. [ beat. ] You don't want to try carrying him?

[duskspear]

I can take him if you tire of his weight.

[Not to doubt Childe's strength, but dogs aren't paper. Although Roland doesn't mind carrying Sir Kensington—would probably enjoy it, in fact—there's no sense in stressing the dog out by constantly changing hands. For now, he's content to lead the way as tasked by Childe.]
