Quest Board Plotting

code

Since quests all tend to require party members (a minimum of two), it can be difficult to get them going if you aren't sure who's interested. This plotting post helps to alleviate that, by listing the current available quests. Remember to take a look at the Quest Board to see how it all works, and go to the FAQ if you have any question for the mods! If there's a quest you're interested in but you're lacking at least one more person.

Sub-threads are posted below for Open Quests, and then the separate Exclusive Quests. Make sure to check the latter's status on the Quest Board to see if it's still open!

✭ Rats out of the Bag

[parer]

Quest: Rats out of the Bag
Rank: ✩✩
Party Size: 3-4
Roll to Clear: 15
Possible Encounter(s): Rodents of Unusual Size, Swarm of Rats, Rat King (5 ft, demon, insaciable thirst for mead)
Reward: 3 Reputation, Hat of Vermin
Summary:

A local tavern owner at a travel outpost has been having major problems with rats in the basement. He is now scared to enter the basement but that's where all his stock is. Upon entering, the stairs seem much longer than they ought to. You realize the door has vanished behind you and you have to fight the Rat King and his swarm to be released once more.

I somehow wasn't expecting to see this sort of quest, but given this is D&D...

You know what? Nephenee'll try to help!

[amaratha]

Absinthe's up for joining Neph's rathunting party!

[relentless_sentinel]

Looks like A2's in for this too, so if we're OK with 3 one of us can submit it.

[amaratha]

Sounds good! That party sounds great, if A2 confirms she's good with 3 too.

FYI that I believe the mods mentioned on plurk that they'd like each character to submit for only one quest a week, and I've committed to multiple quest threads myself, so I'll post here if I end up using my weekly submission for something else? I think this week should be good, though.

Update on our rat quest

[amaratha]

Hihi!

Our quest results came in! To consolidate the discussion, please see my post to A2's player here about it. Tl;dr is we succeeded but we need either a thread or a writeup for it, could you reply in A2's thread (to avoid people missing out on responses and such) what your preference is? Thank you!

[relentless_sentinel]

posted there!

[refracta]

A2 would be game for a bit of hunting! Surely a few rats can't be that big of a problem. Surely.

[relentless_sentinel]

Sweet, so do we want to go ahead with 3 then? A2, Absinthe, and ANeph Neph?

[refracta]

I'm game! It's the A gang (almost)

[amaratha]

Heya! I realised quest response day (Sunday) is tomorrow so I can try to put in a request for us today or tomorrow. There's a dice roll portion of the form, let me know what A2 rolls?

(Absinthe rolled a 12, sadly, so not enough to clear the quest difficulty on her own.)

[refracta]

Sorry for the late response! A2 got.... a 15 not half bad. Hopefully that will help us a good bit

[amaratha]

No worries! I've posted the submission here, will update when we get the results.

Update on our rat quest!

[amaratha]

Sorry for the late response! We got our quest results here- the party succeeded and got a magic item as a reward!

We need to submit either a thread or a writeup to complete this though. I know it's been kind of a long time since we plotted this and there's a new event ongoing, so are you still interested in trying to thread this out? I still think it might be fun, though I might be slow trying to juggle the event and this, so I'm open to either option.

I'll ping Nephenee's player too for their opinion. From what I understand they were busy with RL matters last month, I'm not sure of their bandwidth at the moment.

[refracta]

Yeaaaah success!

I'm happy to thread it out, it seems like it'd be fun! Do love a fun lowkey action rp. But if things are too busy I'm also fine with just figuring out a writeup.

[relentless_sentinel]

Hi, sorry for the wait! Mental bandwidth did indeed get destroyed last month and I've been trying to get back into things since x_x

I'm fine doing a write-up if y'all want! How much do we need written for that? Or for a thread, if we go that route?

[amaratha]

Took a quick look at the quest page- if we submit a thread only, it has to be fully complete, on the other hand a summary needs to cover how the party approached the quest and can be 1 paragraph or many paragraphs.

I also noticed a couple of submitters put in both a summary and say they're going to thread it out, would y'all be okay with that? The only downside is we would know the rough plot beats beforehand.

My vote would be to submit a summary first, then further decide if we want to thread it out. I'm also okay with threading it out after that, but will be slow replying back currently (inbox full from event oops)

[relentless_sentinel]

I'm good with a summary and then seeing how it goes from there!
