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 typically reward 50 points to characters, but occasionally reward 100 points.

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! Depending on the results, these quests can reward anywhere from 200-300 points each depending on success! Characters may only participate in one heavy quest per month.

PLAYER QUESTS
These are quests submitted by other players, available as players come up with them. A player may submit a quest during any month, and may even post the same quest again on a subsequent month, when it makes sense ICly to do so. They are otherwise very similar to Light Quests; more information can be found below, but as a rule, they reward 50 points to characters.

ALL QUESTS
So what do all quests have in common? They must be submitted by the deadline date on the quest itself, and each character may claim points from a given quest only once, though they may repeat the quest with other teams as many times as they like.

Mod quests in particular will have 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! Mod quests of both types may also sometimes have claim limits, with the number of teams allowed 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 anything in the information available to players, then we generally play by the "do what's most fun!" rules.

PLAYER QUESTS
Player Quests are now open! These are quests ICly posted by your character to any of Bottlecap Bay's quest boards. They may be quests that are meant for the benefit of the city (or outlying outposts, or good relations with local Pokemon), or they may be quests for a character's personal concerns... and even joke quests are very welcome, for CR purposes!

(Just keep in mind IC reactions while devising a quest - guild leaders may choose not to reward points for "come perform a handstand for me," and there may be negative consequences for posting "assassinate my annoying guild coworker!")

Some general guidelines:

  • To respond to a player quest, other players may use the same submission form as for mod quests; they do not have to provide a thread, but do have to fill out the summary.
  • For all quests, quests may reward 50 points! Points track how helpful a character is overall, so they may be awarded for (reasonable, non-joke) personal quests as well!
  • For quests for the benefit of Bottlecap Bay, guild leaders will generally also allow for item rewards from guild resources. These rewards should be restricted to a single item or type of item chosen by the quest-writing player, and can be one of: berries, basic stones, basic accessories (with no special effects), or small furniture items. A character may also offer handmade items that they are able to make/obtain the resources for.
  • For personal quests, guild leaders will not allow for item rewards from guild resources... but a character may still offer handmade items that they are able to make/obtain the resources for!
  • Characters who are ICly posting the quest obviously cannot join their own quest! However, at mod discretion, posting a quest may result in extra points in the next point tally, particularly if the quest is for the benefit of Bottlecap Bay - the guild leaders will reward someone looking out for the success of the city.
To keep things fair and also manageable for the mods, at the moment the below are the policies for player quests. These may be updated in the future if we run into any problems!

  • Quests may not have limited entry slots.
  • Quest-writing players will decide whether responses pass or fail. (They may choose to respond with a blurb with more flavor details, or just a note saying pass/fail.)
  • Posted rewards will be fully awarded regardless of pass/fail. If a quest says the reward is 50 points and a berry, then even failing teams will get those rewards.
  • It is fine for personal quests to have a biased pass/fail outcome for CR purposes, such as a designated team being pre-arranged to be the only one who succeeds. However, this must be made clear beforehand OOCly, and the above point must be followed.
  • Players may decide whether their quest is worth 50 points or 0 points. We're trusting players to use their best judgement! (ICly, points are always awarded by the guild leaders, but will still be awarded for non-joke personal quests that take effort. For example: "My important item is missing, please help me search the woods" or "I want to make a feast to cheer up my friend but I don't know how to cook, please help.")
  • If a player would like to have their character ICly post a problematic quest and receive consequences from their guild leader, please contact the mods on the mod contact beforehand! (This is for quests that would be viewed as actively harmful, rather than silly ones.)
  • Players may not have their own characters, even their other character, submit for a quest that they posted.

SUBMISSION FORMAT
Please use the following format to set up a player quest!


If you would like, you may also use the following format when responding with quest results (but this is not required)!



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 for mod quests, or to the individual quest for player quests. 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 or player quests.) 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.

Bottlecap Critics’ Circle: Sweets Edition

[personal profile] sharpjustice 2026-05-01 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Bottlecap Critics’ Circle: Sweets Edition
QUEST GIVER: Mayaka
DEADLINE: Must be submitted before May 25th.

It’s Mayaka’s birthday this month, and she wants to treat herself to something sweet! With so many options, and a strict, self-imposed diet that limits how much sugar she should consume, a single Sneasel can’t possibly decide what’s the best dessert to indulge in!

Go forth — search for the best sweet dish in Bottlecap Bay and submit a food critic review of it for Mayaka’s very serious consideration.

Rating it out of 5 stars is a must!


POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: A handmade bookmark

OTHER: You can be as detailed as you like: the name of the dish, the chef, how it tastes, and the 5-star rating. And also the manner in which you submit the review - is it nicely handwritten or are you walking up to Mayaka and describing it off the cuff? If you'd like me to spin something up, just describe how they intend to find the best sweet dish and let me cook 🍳

I hope this also provides some fun prompts / setting ideas for when characters hang out somewhere to eat!

STAMP RALLY
QUEST GIVER: Parvati
DEADLINE: Must be submitted before May 25th.

I need some folks to come and help me carve some stamps outta wood! Letters, shapes, etc. If you have any other materials we could carve that'd be great, too! I need to test a bunch to see how they print on different materials when you press on them -- if anyone's willing to help with that I'd appreciate it too!

Bring a friend, it'll probably take a good while and a good talk always helps pass the time!


The poster is decorated with a cute little drawing of Parvati giving a thumbs up. It's very crude with wobbly lines.


POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: A little charm to go somewhere on your person, custom-made by Parvati out of her scrap materials.

OTHER: This is (hopefully) in service of a printing press Parvati is looking to make later down the line. The intended goal is to make posting quests more accessible to Pokemon who lack the dexterity to write, as well as other things like making posters or mass-printing slates/books! Just don't tell Polteageist she doesn't plan on handing it over to the Archives exclusively, thanks.

ALSO, as a heads up I might not be able to get responses to everyone until after May 22nd due to my finals. I'm sorry! If you'd like to thread them out still just let me know and I'll base your results around the thread :]

THEM'S THE BREAKS
QUEST GIVER: Agnes Montague
DEADLINE: Must be submitted before Saturday, May 30th.

Due to the concern of forest fires, Agnes is recruiting Pokemon to help with digging firebreaks, lanes of bare dirt that will help stop ground fires from being able to spread freely across the Canopy and surrounding forested areas. She's prepared a map with proposed layout for these firebreaks, acquired shovels and plows, and now just needs people to help.

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: Agnes, known to be a favorite of Ribombee, promises to tell him who put effort into helping out with the plan to keep the forest safe.

OTHER: There's a few routes you can go here: those strong enough to pull plows are welcome to go that route, while moves like Dig and Earthquake (or even other type moves strong enough to get that top layer of flammable material off) would also be useful.

Agnes herself is trying very hard not to be experiencing a whole emotion about preventing uncontrollable fires for the sake of her community. It's not a big deal. You absolutely shouldn't come into her inbox if you know why this is such a Thing for her. Nope. Not at all. Never. (Please)

In Case of Fire
QUEST GIVER: Ritsuka Fujimaru
DEADLINE: Must be submitted before May 30th.

Concerned about the potential indirect ways a wildfire could threaten the local populace, Ritsuka's looking for help with bolstering the town's supplies just in case! Food is a given, but materials for supplies like medicine and bandages are welcome, too.

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: None

OTHER: If asked, Ritsuka will suggest a priority of nonperishable foods (such as nuts or grains), followed by foods that can be made nonperishable (e.g. fruits that can be dried out), medicinal supplies, and then basically anything else. Rawst berries would also be good, though the focus is more on food, here!

PLAYERS: Dolly, Terry
CHARACTERS: Dolly, Siffrin
QUEST: Simmer Down
SUMMARY: Siffrin and Dolly aren't the largest Pokemon, so nobody - including them - is expecting their contribution to be especially notable. Sure, it's still important to have as many Pokemon as possible helping with clearing the woods, with the Cheri guild so concerned, but nobody expects the two of them to stand out!

That's until Dolly's flesh tendrils ribbons get to work. Wait... how much can those ribbons hold, exactly? (And perhaps an even more important question: just how autonomously can those things act??)

QUEST: Simmer Down
SUMMARY: Cater and Mayaka are assigned to gather dead wood together, though they've not met before this. Mayaka will focus her attention on the immediate space around them, digging and prodding through the leaf litter to make sure that they've not missed anything that would easily catch fire. Cater, on the other hand, will be taking note of things in the wider environment to keep track of where they've already worked and what's left. This comes across to Mayaka as him slacking off.

PLAYERS: bre, bread
CHARACTERS: bigby, mayaka
QUEST: Flower Power
SUMMARY: Upset at herself for having relied on her teammates during last month's heavy quest, Mayaka enlists Bigby's support as she tries to push herself out of her comfort zone. Instead of her usual support role, Mayaka will be directly engaging the Floettes! It helps that she's not intimidated by them, and she has an advantage being Poison-type. Even though Bigby is weak to Fairy-types, he does have battle experience and electric moves for paralysis and ice fang for freeze.

He's still going to try to be on the frontlines for Mayaka since he doesn't want her to get too hurt (probably not the smartest idea if he gets hit with a super effective move.... but maybe this will encourage her to go all out to protect him and help Mayaka learn her first poison-type attack in the process!)

QUEST: Ice to See You
SUMMARY: While Mayaka isn't familiar with "a place covered in ice", Shoka knows right away that the Spheal are almost definitely referring to Icefall Lake, a location she has been to several times now for various quests. As she knows what to generally expect from the region, she'll be taking the lead. Having only recently recovered from wounds sustained during her failed heavy quest, she isn't in peak battling condition, but she'll still be prepared to protect their Spheal charges from any threats that may impede their trek.

Knowing Shoka's condition, and feeling the need to step up a bit more after last month's quest, Mayaka's will try to be more pro-active against any threats they meet. Still, if possible, she'll urge their group to avoid any potentially dangerous situations (even if it means taking a detour).

QUEST: Guard to Port
SUMMARY: The old guys need a damn break, and this is the quest to do it. Perrin’s big enough to hold down the fort for both of them to be honest, but Bigby will be all ears and nose for any intruders. Otherwise, they’ll be casually taking note of any successfully teleported items, but mostly just shooting the shit and catching up, especially after everything that happened last month.

PLAYERS: Danielle, Bre
CHARACTERS: Neige, Bigby
QUEST: Simmer Down
SUMMARY: Sometimes being helpful is the best distraction. Neige will be keeping things positive in the midst of low spirits, while Bigby is just grateful to put all his pent-up concerns into something productive. They’ll be focusing on finding and gathering all the small bits of dried wood that fit into their respective paws and claws, with Neige organizing it all into neat and tidy piles for bigger Pokémon to carry away.

QUEST: Ice to See You
SUMMARY: Bigby and Dolly, wanting something that's cute to do after the ordeal that was April, have signed up for the quest needing some time with the Spheal and helping them get to the colder area. Both Bigby and Dolly have been to Icefall Lake before from previous quests, should be able to offer navigation as well as guidance for the Spheal.

PLAYERS: Mega and Dolly
CHARACTERS: Akechi and Dolly Mancer
QUEST: Flower Power
SUMMARY: It's been a while since Akechi and Dolly worked together on a quest, clearly the swarm is one of the best ways to do so! Akechi with his recent evolution, will have a better advantage against the dreadful little beasties known as Floette such as the strong physical flying moves under Akechi's feathery belt. There is that and Akechi has some really good support moves such as Tailwind, Scary Face, and Hone Claw. Dolly, as per usual, will be working as support with providing defenses like Light Screen and healing moves such as Wish or Heal Bell. Dolly will also be mortified at the vicious attack of what appears to be a swarm of Thumbelina....Thumbelina is out for blood....

PLAYERS: Pyra and AC
CHARACTERS: Anasui and Ritsuka
QUEST: SIMMER DOWN
SUMMARY: Some people just want to watch the world burn. Thankfully, neither Anasui or Ritsuka isn't that sort of crazy and will be satisfied doing the work assigned to them. Anasui is large and carry a lot of wood at once, and he can use his large talons to help dig firebreaks. While smaller, Ritsuka can fly and can mark/clear the path for Anasui. Additionally, she can help with digging out firebreaks whenever possible. These two work fairly well together and probably the only fire that's going to happen is the one on the beach to dispose of the dry wood.

PLAYERS: Pyra and Bread
CHARACTERS: Anasui and Mayaka
QUEST: Guard to Port
SUMMARY: Honestly, the job isn't that hard (both Mayaka and Anasui are capable fighters) and the real challenge is making sure that Anasui doesn't dismantle the teleporter while it's in use. Thankfully, Mayaka is ready to yap at Anasui and will distract him by talking and asking him about his fashion sense. Despite his reservations regarding the teleporter, Anasui will fight the urge to dismantle things.

PLAYERS: Pyra and Cha
CHARACTERS: Anasui and Ren
QUEST: Flower Power
SUMMARY: Anasui and Ren both don't have super-effective moves but strategy is more important than 'do more damage'. Anasui is strong and will focus on cutting down the Floette's defenses while Ren will be using his usual tricks; leech seed, seed bomb, sucker punch and U-turn to keep the momentum of the fight in their favor. Anasui fights ruthlessly but also efficiently and is ready to help Ren with his abundance of support moves like Light Screen and Ally Swap. Similarly, Ren will be using Helping hand to make Anasui's attacks more powerful, and protect to keep from getting hit. He'll be relying on Anasui's light screen and ally switch as well! They're both good fighters and a great team!

PLAYERS: Pyra and Tyra
CHARACTERS: Anasui and Tomoro
QUEST: Ice to see you
SUMMARY: Anasui and Tomoro don't know each other but they're both bigger and stronger than the Spheal, so they should be fine protecting the little guys. The only thing to really worry about is the urge to kick the Spheal like a football...

QUEST: Flower Power
SUMMARY: Emporio's been here a while, but suddenly growing five times bigger means he's not quite as effective a fighter as usual just yet. Still, he at least has a nice powerful move in Shadow Bone now. Ritsuka's still fairly new, but she's learning quickly through experience, and has no problem with throwing herself into the thick of things. Both of them are perfectly happy to coordinate and cooperate with others, so they've got the teamwork thing going on!

PLAYERS: Mega, AC
CHARACTERS: Akechi, Ritsuka
QUEST: Guard to Port
SUMMARY: After helping with the walkways and guardrails last month, a simple guard quest is a much simpler task. Since they're both birds, they have the advantage of a bird's eye view. Ritsuka is also very familiar with teleporter mishaps.

PLAYERS: yon, sapphire
CHARACTERS: impmon, archnemon
QUEST: Simmer Down
SUMMARY: Archnemon can see that Impmon's wanting to get out and do things and they gravitate toward a quest hopefully designed to keep him out of trouble for a bit (not that she says that to him directly), even if it's possible he may just get competitive on the gathering. But with her psychic abilities to move items, along with his powerful claws and any digging that may come up, it's fairly cooperative teamwork. Either way it gets work done and she keeps an eye on him, win-win ...?


PLAYERS: danielle, sapphire
CHARACTERS: neige, archnemon
QUEST: Guard to Port
SUMMARY: Archnemon is still irritated about how poorly the original teleporting disaster that occurred, but that's not going to curb her habits of still showing up to work when a quest comes along, even if she knows supervising efforts can only go so far. She recognizes Neige as being a more recent guild addition that seems like he wouldn't be too difficult to get along with on lookout. He would apologize for not being particularly strong, but being able to fly would mean he'd be a good messenger if there was something that came up while being on the lookout. Either way, he just wants to do his part to help. Neige's still not completely clued into the inter-guild dynamics but it's clear that a lot of people are very upset over what happened with the teleportation debacle, so he'd definitely want to do what he can to try and smooth over any harsh feelings.

PLAYERS: Luka, Kunenk
CHARACTERS: Eleanor, Maya
QUEST: Simmer Down
SUMMARY: Both Maya and Eleanor feel that this is something they can do that will be useful. Both of them will help clear the areas and trim as directed, with Maya keeping an eye on Eleanor to make sure Eleanor isn't taking on too much to try to prove she's alright. And Eleanor does also have water type moves, should it turn out they need those!

PLAYERS: Sapphire, Finch
CHARACTERS: Archnemon, Ingo
QUEST: ICE TO SEE YOU
SUMMARY: A place covered in Ice is a perfect opportunity for Ingo to rely on his guide skills to aid the interested party to the mountain, and Archnemon providing support on navigating whatever else they may encounter as well as having additional familiarity with the terrain due to previous expeditions and mapping. If anything is off emotionally, she can check for that as well.

PLAYERS: kururu, luka
CHARACTERS: perrin and parvati
QUEST: ice to see you
SUMMARY: What's a CRPG without a mildly frustrating escort mission? The Spheals are even doing the thing where they're faster than the walk but slower than the run! A universal constant the duo must endure. But still, as escort mission experts, the two of them should have this one in the bag. Especially since the stakes are much lower than their previous exploits.

PLAYERS: luka, bones
CHARACTERS: eleanor and jack
QUEST: guard to port
SUMMARY: Jack has decided to take Elly with him on this mission just to get her out of the Clinic for a bit. It's relatively low-stakes, so it shouldn't put too much strain on the already injured Brionne (even if the two of them only have as much self preservation instinct as a lemming), and it gives the two of them more of an opportunity to chat about things going on in the world. please ignore that i accidentally submitted this in the completely wrong place and didn't notice for like. two weeks.

PLAYERS: Danielle and Lucifer
CHARACTERS: Neige and Cater
QUEST: Ice to See You
SUMMARY: Because Neige and Cater both arrived during the same time at Icefall Lake, he is oh-so-eager to volunteer the both of them for the task (which Cater is definitely just as enthusiastic about and any feet dragging is completely unrelated)! What an easy way to be helpful, after all--and doesn't it just feel so rewarding? Neige's not particularly good with the cold, but that doesn't mean he's not going to keep spirits up with chatter! Just, like, Cater might need to carry him if he starts shivering too much.


PLAYERS: Danielle and Luka
CHARACTERS: Neige and Parvati
QUEST: Flower Power
SUMMARY: Neige, being himself, will attempt to talk the floette down from their attack before they engage in a battle, but assuming that doesn't dissuade them (of course it doesn't), it's time to jump into action! With Parvati having the type advantage against the floette, Neige will be allowing her to take the lead on offense while he mostly acts as support using moves like growl and mist to keep their stats clear and their opponents' damaging moves less powerful--though peck and fury attack will come into play if he needs to defend himself. Parvati will be relying heavily on steel-type moves, particularly gigaton hammer, and use her overall greater experience in battle and sweeping attacks to keep Neige covered while he plays support.
