QUESTBOARD
⋆✩ quests ✩⋆
One of the core responsibilities of guild members within Bottlecap Bay is to complete quests from the Questboard. Located in the center of the city, the questboard is a physical board where Pokemon can submit requests for help, resources, exploration, and all sorts of things. Each quest rewards characters with points to not only increase their member ranking, but also raise the guild ranking, thereby having a direct effect on the direction of the game!
QUEST TYPES
LIGHT QUESTS
These quests are simpler, RNG-style quests that are far more straightforward and don't require a summary or a thread! Light quests are available every month, but during TDM months, they are the only type of quest available, meaning that nothing plot heavy or significant will be placed into the quests. They also only reward 50 points to characters.
HEAVY QUESTS
Heavy quests are more intensive, thread-required quests that often hold bits of plot or more intrigue, and are only available every other month. They are also often more dangerous than light quests, and unlike light quests, are not guaranteed to be completed when submitting for them! Sometimes you can fail these heavy quests, and in that case, no points are rewarded. But depending on the results, these quests can reward anywhere from 100-300 points each!
ALL QUESTS
So what do all quests have in common? Difficulty levels, determined by the filled in stars on a scale of 1-3, with three filled stars being the most difficult. Difficulty can mean anything from physical danger to intensive puzzles, depending on the quest! All quests must also be submitted by the deadline date on the quest itself. Quests of both types can have different amounts of teams allowed to claim it, and the number of teams allowed will be listed per quest. Lastly, players can feel free to roleplay any of the NPCs that are not listed on the Locations page under the NPC section! If it's not game breaking or contradicting of anything in the information available to players, then we generally play by the "do what's most fun!" rules.

Now that the surrounding areas have been made suitably safe for passage, it’s vital that we do our part to record the unique features of each region in full detail. I will be sending various specialized Pokemon Scholars out from the Bay- and each will require a team of bodyguards to best do their work unimpeded.
Do this, and you will be rewarded quite appropriately for your efforts.

QUEST SIGN-UP
To claim and sign up for a quest, simply fill out the form below and reply to the current month's thread. All quests require at least 2 characters to complete, with no maximum unless specified. Keep in mind that for quests requiring threading, 3 is probably a good number. Multiple quests can be signed up for in one comment.
PLAYERS: Players involved.
CHARACTERS: Characters involved. (2 minimum)
QUEST: Name of the quest you're signing up for.
SUMMARY: (Optional for light, required for heavy.) How will the quest be tackled? Write a short summary of how the characters intend to succeed and include any relevant details (tensions within the team, particular skills or weaknesses, any relevant triggers to avoid, etc.)
After claiming a quest, a mod will reply with confirmation and/or more details, and may request more information on how the team tackles the quest. For quests that are limited in some way, players who manage a sign up one month will be required to wait for 24 hours after quest posting to sign up for a limited quest the following month.
FULL NAVIGATION
no subject
CHARACTERS: Akechi, Firepaw
QUEST: A Shell-fish Request
SUMMARY: Akechi has been feeling agitated since the failed exploration and is trying to make up by throwing himself into other quests to pull his weight. Luckily, Firepaw is a good kitty who supports his friend, even if the water is dangerous for him. While Firepaw captures the lovely view of the shoreline from a safe distance, Akechi will carry his Grumpearl through the air to get some magnificent views of the ocean from above. Such is the power of teamwork...
A SHELL-FISH REQUEST
Your team takes their Grumpearls to the ocean, sharing their experiences through the psychic link with Numel and one another! Interestingly, Numel's happiness and amazement can be felt through the connection, leaving characters feeling accomplished and warm with happiness. It is nice to help others, isn't it? Upon completing this beach trip, each member is rewarded with 50 points and a Rawst Berry! Good work!
