Registration | Ship's Tavern | OOC | Task Completion Tales | Announcements | General Roleplay This is the Task Board! On this place you'll see a list of tasks that you can clear with your character. It's an excellent place to go to whenever you want to write something for your character, but is unsure about what exactly to write! Please do keep in mind that this thread is just to list out the tasks available. If you wish to post how you cleared out a given task, please head to the Task Completion Tales thread. Also, you can clear as many tasks as you want, and you can do it as many times as you want. By all means, feel free to do so! Oh, and also, feel free to clear tasks together with other players... In fact, I highly recommend you to do so. It is usually a lot more fun than just clearing them by yourself! Do you want to create your own tasks though? Then please keep on reading. Otherwise, head to the next post and see our Task List! Creating a new task is super simple... Just create a new post on this thread with all the details of the task you want to create! Simple and easy! Do try following the template of the other tasks though, to like... Well, just make it easier for people to know what your task is about. Also, don't be afraid of creating new tasks based on already existing ones! You can even create a "questline" of sorts by making multiple tasks! Here's an example: Player A was exploring a cave in search for treasure, but couldn't progress further on the cave because there was a strong golem blocking the way, so Player A created a task asking for help in beating down the golem. Player B accepts the task and goes together with Player A to the cave and beat up the golem... And then they found a treasure chest! ... That they couldn't open, so they created a new task, asking for help in unlocking the chest. Player C then accepts the task and opens the chest, finding that the treasure was actually a treasure map all along! So now Players A, B and C go into an expedition to find the treasure together! ... And so on forth. If you created a task and it was completely cleared by someone else, please strike out the text of said task, to like... Tell other players that this task is no longer available. Player-made tasks are only "valid" on the last two pages of this thread. Any task that is older than those pages is considered to be "expired" and can no longer be taken... Feel free to repost your expired task if nobody took it though. Just have some common sense and don't spam. Lastly, if you want any task to be added to the list of Repeatable Tasks, just tell me about it in the OOC thread (or by PM if you prefer). If I like your idea, I can add it to the list, no problems.
This is the list of Repeatable Tasks! Anyone can clear those tasks, and you can clear them as many times as you want! Tasks are separated by difficulty. There is no real requirement to clear out any task though. The difficulty is just for the sake of organization, and to tell the player how strong their character needs to be to clear a given task... Like, a task to kill a minotaur would probably be pretty hard, right? It would be weird to have it right next to the "Clean the Deck" task~ But again, no real requirements to clear any given task. Just take whichever task your character is apt to take, and then have fun writing about how the task was cleared! (Or failed! You can fail tasks too if you want! Go wild with it!) Task List: Spoiler: Simple Tasks Task: Obtaining Medicine Requester: Ship's Doctor Description: People in our crew regularly get hurt or sick in their trips, so we're always in need of more medical supplies. Anything is fine, from bandages to painkiller herbs, just get us something. Notes: Ideally you'd make the medicine yourself, but it's fine to just purchase it from stores at the land too. Just don't expect the captain to pay for it or anything, we won't purchase medicine outside of an emergency. Task: Obtaining Food Requester: Ship's Cook Description: Do you have any idea how hard it is to feed all the people of this crew!? It's tough! Get me some food! Anything that can feed those bunch of starved adventurers! Notes: Fishing is probably the easiest way to get food, but you may also try going to land to hunt something... Or buy something if you will, but it will come out of your own pocket. Task: Cleaning Requester: Captain Description: This ship is everyone's. I may command it, but we're all in here together, and we need to care for one another... And therefore, this means you all need to clean the space! Don't go expecting our barkeep to clean your messes up after you drink throughout the night! Do it yourself! Notes: You don't need to clean only areas that you dirtied. Just clean whichever area of the ship you want. The ship won't maintain itself, after all, so everyone needs to do their part. Task: Repairs Requester: Shipwright Description: This ship is kinda big, so it's hard for me to check everything myself. Do some routine checkups on a few areas of the ship to see if they're in need of repairs... If you're unsure, you can call me. Notes: If you know how to, you can repair it yourself. Otherwise, just tell me about it and I'll take care of it. Task: Mining Requester: Nobody in particular Description: We identified some ores that seem valuable on a nearby island. If you know how to, it might be a good idea to mine some. Notes: Be careful of mine collapses and landslides. Task: Swimming Lessons Requester: Captain Description: For some reason... Some people decide to go on adventures on the seas without learning how to swim first... Teach them how to... Or if you're one of the people that don't know how to swim, then do yourself a favor and start learning from someone. Notes: OOC: It might be interesting to take this as a party quest with two players. One being the teacher, and one as the student... Or maybe not. Dunno how interesting swimming-classes Roleplay is. It's just an idea that came to my head, so I figured I'd mention it. Task: Barkeep Duties Requester: Captain Description: Our barkeep fell ill, so somebody gotta tend to tavern and feed rum to our crewmates as needed... That someone is you! Notes: OOC: You may consider doing this by simply roleplaying with other players at the Tavern instead of as a Task. Task: Caring for the Sick and the Wounded Requester: Ship's Doctor Description: Sometimes a lot of people end up contracting a given sickness, or maybe they return with heavy wounds from a more dangerous task... There's a limit to how much I can do by myself, so any help is appreciated. Notes: If you don't know how to help, you can always learn on the spot. I'll give basic instructions... Don't expect me to be able to help too much, since I'm the one who needs help here. Task: Establish an Encampment Requester: Nobody in particular Description: While most people here are fine with sleeping on a ship, most prefer to be on land, to avoid the constant shaking. We'll be spending the night near an island, so help set up the encampment for those that will sleep on land. Notes: You can help out with the tasks of putting things like tents up, or scout the surroundings for danger. Up to you, just do your part to help the group. Task: Be my Test Subject Requester: Ship's Alchemist Description: I'm always making new inventions, and I think I know what they do, but... I kinda need to test them out to be sure that they're working properly, yanno? So... Help me out a bit? Notes: I don't test the dangerous inventions on crewmates, don't worry. At its worst, you might get a temporary weird mutation, or just a really bad stomachache. Task: Look for Work Requester: Captain Description: Our main source of income come from the tasks we clear, but not everyone in every island we go to are aware that we are willing to help them out. Go out there and talk to people, see if they need anything, and bring word of it to us. Notes: OOC: This is a simple way of adding new one-off quests to the Task Board in case you want to add a bit more context to the task than what the template would allow. You don't need to do this task in order add new tasks to the board though, nor do you need to add new tasks to the board when you clear this task. Spoiler: Somewhat Dangerous Tasks Task: Search for treasure Requester: Nobody in particular Description: There are rumors of treasures hidden in the nearby island. Why don't you go there and explore it? See what you can find. Notes: Be wary, for you might not be the only one searching for it... And maybe, there might be something guarding it too. Task: Escorting Requester: A merchant Description: A certain merchant was worried about bandits trying to steal their goods, so they decided to hire some people to protect them as they moved through the roads. If you have some free time, it might be a way to earn some cash. Notes: Sometimes, things much worse than bandits decide to attack travelers... It is no shame to give up on a job and flee for your life if you face something that is beyond your capabilities. Task: Missing Crewmates Requester: Captain Description: Some of our crewmates have been gone for a while. It's quite possible that they already died on their attempt to clear the task that they took, but we'd rather try rescuing them instead of leaving them to their fate. Notes: Remember to care for your safety first and foremost. Tread carefully, and don't be afraid to retreat. Task: Recover Lost Goods Requester: A Merchant Description: There was a heavy storm recently, and an important good disappeared from a merchant ship during it. Recover it. Notes: The goods might have fallen off during the storm, or maybe someone infiltrated the ship, and made use of the confusion during the storm to steal it... Or maybe something else. Find it out. Task: Goblin Slaying Requester: Captain Description: Goblins are a huge and problematic plague. No matter what island or continent we go to, we always find someone who is having some goblin troubles... Do everyone a favor and exterminate some. Nobody will miss those green beasts. Notes: OOC: You don't need to take this as a request form the captain. You can work with the idea that some village leader made the request instead, or whatever else you'd prefer. Spoiler: Dangerous Tasks Task: Calming the Rampaging Guardian Requester: A Village Leader Description: In a nearby island, there is a village that is usually protected by an entity that they worship... However, said entity started rampaging recently. Try calming it down somehow. Notes: The villagers might be able to give details on what exactly angered their guardian... Either way, be careful, because it's an enemy you probably cannot defeat. Task: A Mine Filled with Monsters Requester: Chief of a Mining Operation Description: The miners of a certain island were working on an area with very rich minerals... However, it seems like their digging ended up opening a path to a monster den, and now the mine is filled with monsters. Exterminate them, so that the mining operations can continue. Notes: It is probably a good idea to somehow block the connection between the mine and the monster den, so as to avoid future monsters from attacking the mine again. Task: Pirate Troubles Requester: A Wealthy Merchant Description: There have been recent reports of pirates attacking a well-known trade route. Alternative routes are far too long and not worth the trip, and the pirates are smart enough to not attack if they see ships of the Marine nearby, so the merchant hired you, and some other people to get rid of the pirates. Notes: The guild won't risk the entire crew and its ship on a mission against pirates. Expect the merchant to provide a ship for you, and whoever else took the task.
Task: Guard the Alchemist Requester: Ship's Alchemist Description: I got attacked by a monster while working! It's distracting just thinking about it returning to disturb my work, so stand guard nearby. Make sure I'm not interrupted! Notes: The monster is a humanoid with sharp claws, glowing eyes, adorned with metal symbols and has the ears of a rat or cat, I'm not entirely sure. If you catch it, you'll get rewarded one of my new potions! Taglist: @BB_Tensei
Task: Clean the Room Requester: Ship's Alchemist Description: My lab exploded because an idiot snuck in and played with something they weren't supposed to touch! I need someone to help me clean up the ashes and soot that's positively everywhere. And don't touch any of the liquids in the room! None at all! Notes: If you see anyone with glowing eyes, chase them out! I've had enough explosions today, thank you very much! Taglist: @BB_Tensei, @Haxagen
Task: Strange Cats in the Hold (Cleared) Requester: Ship's Cook Description: Recently, the number of rats scurrying about the cellar have decreased. While this is a good thing for our supplies, I've been rather curious about where they've run off to. There's also this locked room at the deepest section of the cellar, which no one can access as the key has been misplaced. Weird scratching noises have been heard coming from that room...I really hope it's just a cat that happens to be a natural at hunting mice... Notes: As this is an investigation-type task, some details will be provided. Spoiler: Rumours about the Locked Room 'The cellar? Real damp and gloomy place if you ask me. They always wanted to figure out some way to keep the area dry, but the smells and humidity always returned shortly after. Perhaps it's time we shifted the kitchen to the deck.' - Crew Member A 'Ah, that place? I used to work there back when I was still a kitchen boy. Always gave me the creeps...speaking of which, a few years ago they found a stowaway in there. I'm not sure what happened, but they had to carry him out in a box...' - Crew Member B 'Now that I think about it, this ship seems to have more patrols than necessary. We'd be fine with half the numbers there currently are, and it's not like the other half have particularly important tasks; all they do is sit around outside the kitchen the whole night.' - Crew Member C 'The locked room in the cellar? The old quartermaster had the key, but no one knows where it ended up after he passed. Either way, I'd advise against sticking around after midnight, or investigating any strange noises. Years ago there was a brutal murder aboard; they practically searched the whole ship, but the killer was never found.' - Former Crewmate D Taglist: @Haxagen
The City of Tonland is having quite a lot of troubles, and would like anyone that can to lend a helping hand to ease their troubles! Task: Monster Attacks Requester: Guard Captain, Ralditorias Description: Over the past few weeks, some strange dark monsters started appearing and attacking our city's walls. They look like animals, but there is something abnormal about them. They're too strong, too wild, too... Unnatural. We have our hands full fending them off, so we haven't been able to find what is causing them to behave like that, investigate it. Notes: The monsters seem to be coming from the nearby forest, so it would probably be a good idea to start your search there. Task: Dangerous Cultists Requester: Guard Captain, Ralditorias Description: Some strange robed people have started appearing in our city recently. At first we didn't pay them much heed, we don't have issues with mad people preaching about the second coming of whatever stupid God they worship. It's a good source of entertainment for the citizens... But yesterday, all cultists disappeared, and so did the mayor's eldest child. Find them, before something horrible happens. Notes: If you can do something about them, it would be ideal, but just finding their hideout would already be a big help. Task: The Lost Ring Requester: Lady Jane Description: Some dirty thieves dared to barge into my home and steal my precious ring! And on the process of catching the thieves, the stupid guards actually let my ring fall into the sewers! Could you believe that!? Now they tell me that I should go there myself if I want to recover it!? Absurd! Absurd I tell you! You go there and get it instead! Notes: From Captain Ralditorias: The Ring seems to have something magical about it. A slime actually grabbed it from the hands of my men before dragging it to the sewers, but lady Jane just won't listen, and refused to understand our hands are too full to worry about it right now... Just be wary of the slimes if you're going there. They aren't much trouble usually, but I worry about what might have happened to them after getting this ring. Task: Entertainment Requester: Mayor Razer Description: In this middle of these troubling times, we could all use something to relax. The guards in particular seem to be incredible stressed, but so are all our citizens. If you could do something to put people at ease, it would be much appreciated. Whether it's a game or a show or anything else you can do, it's all good. Notes: Remember to abide by the law though. Task: The Lost Messenger Requester: Mayor Razer Description: Once the forest monsters started attacking, we immediately sent a messenger to the nearby city of Montidom to try asking for some reinforcements, since we couldn't spare the people to investigate this incident... However, said messenger never returned, and no reinforcements came our way. I fear something may have happened to them. Please find out what happened to our messenger, and if the worst happened, deliver the message to [Name] in their stead. Notes: The roads between our cities were supposed to be fairly safe... I can't imagine what might have harmed our messenger, but please be cautious.
Special Tavern-related Tasks! Due to the unusual and somewhat unbelievable events that recently transpired at the tavern, we have some special Tasks that need everyone's attention! Task: Find out the truth Requester: Captain Description: The report on what exactly happened at the tavern are all a mess. If you saw what happened, or have some way of investigating it and finding out the truth. Report to me so that we can properly understand the incident. Notes: The main mystery at hand is how exactly the armored man appeared on the window, though anything else you can uncover would be appreciated. Task: Save the wounded Requester: Captain Description: Many people were severely wounded by the tavern explosion. Some of them might lose their lives if we don't act quickly. If you have any way of helping them out, please do what you can. Notes: OOC: It might be interesting to RP this together with the people that were at the heart of the explosion, I think? Or maybe you can just heal some NPCs or something, I dunno. Task: Repair the Tavern (and the cellar) Requester: Captain Description: Our tavern was greatly damaged by the explosion, and I can't imagine our crew staying sane on the sea for long without a good place to drink at. Please repair it as soon as possible. Notes: Oh yeah, we had a damaged cellar too. Since you're at it, might as well repair that one too... What was in the cellar again though? I kinda forgot if there was any use for it. Task: Search for the mythical oil Requester: Captain Description: Whatever was that oil that made the armored man burn, it's definitely no good. I dunno how it got on the ship, or if it even is on the ship. Maybe that armored man flew from outside while already being covered in it... Either way. Find it and try to analyze it if you can... If you can't, then bring it to the ship's alchemist for analysis. Notes: While it may be tempting, please don't sell some magical oil to smugglers on the land. I'd rather not have our crew associated with some strange substance that can put ships on fire while they're in the middle of the open sea.
Task (Dangerous): Investigate the Murder! Requester: Quartermaster Description: You've heard about it, haven't you? That unfortunate soul who was found in the cellars this morning, torn from...let's skip the details for now. Whatever it was that got him, it certainly wasn't a *expletive* cat. We've dealt with the corpse, more or less, but the thing in the hold is another matter. If things continue, who knows if it'll start getting any ideas about paying us a visit in our sleep. We have to do something about it, but I haven't the foggiest clue how. It pains me to ask something so blatantly dangerous, but could you find some way to drive it away or exterminate it? ...Also, make sure you get some assistance! It's dangerous to go alone. OOC Notes: Similar to the last request, this is an investigative task. Unlike the previous one, the task-creator (aka me) will drop details as the investigation proceeds. Think of it as a raid, but instead of a boss I'll just leave clues. This will probably be done in a convo for ease of collation, no upper participation limit (heck, you could join in partway or midway even).
