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.

QUEST: Outbreak of Swoobat!
MISSING?
It's a little scary, isn't it? To hear about a Pokemon that's gone missing. The gap of memory where once-familiar faces once resided is heavy, despite being a hole, and this situation feels vaguely familiar if only for that reason. The team must work together to find the necessary clues that will point them in the correct direction! Through their various methods, this is what they uncover:
⟡ Phantump was last spotted around Bottlecap Bay itself.
⟡ You now know more about this type of Pokemon (such as its appearance, footprints when applicable, sounds it makes, etc).
⟡ Phantump was last heard saying something about doing it all over.
⟡ Traces of the missing Pokemon were found in various locations, indicating a trail.
⟡ They're going to leave me behind.
That was weird... As you all were gathering notes, that last bullet point slipped out. But did someone say it? Did it occur as a simultaneous thought? No one seems to remember.
Not to worry, though! As that eerie feeling is shaken off, inspiration or realization hits the group, and they're able to find exactly where Phantump has wandered off to! It's inside an old attic of another Pokemon's home. Phantump can be found there, sleeping soundly. A little too soundly, in fact. You can't seem to wake it, and its body gives signs of illness, so you bring the Pokemon to the Pokeclinic. Still, Mareanie is grateful that they were found in time.
Congratulations! Each member has been awarded 50 points and a Leaf Stone!
MIGHTY MINING
The mines are a dim-lit maze of tunnels and ramps spanning beneath much of the city proper. As it's incredibly easy to get lost, Mightyena reminds all miners to stick together upon entry, and any Oran Berries spotted along the tunnels will scold anyone who attempts to stray too far from their team. Through their combined hard work, the team successfully gathers plenty of stone! Upon turning the materials in, each member is rewarded with 50 points! Thanks for your help!
OUTBREAK OF SWOOBAT!
The Swoobat are relentless in their attack when your team arrives! These Pokemon are the Psychic/Flying type, so be careful! Other teams may come in and out of battle to help with the outbreak, but the focus of any team should be largely on each other.
Anyone could wind up in a tricky situation, after all. Like Ren Amamiya, who is hit with Confusion and has to take time to recover! In addition to dealing with this, not a single Pokemon in this angry mob seems to be capable of listening to reason.
Through teamwork and battling, the number of Swoobat is greatly reduced from knockouts and retreats! Take a break and recover while other teams cover your back. Each member has earned 50 points for their assistance in battle!

QUEST: Rescue Smoochum
RESCUE SMOOCHUM
The Smoochum can be found surrounded by angry Pokemon in the aforementioned location. It's up to your team to rescue them! In order to save them, cause the attacking Pokemon to flee or faint.
After that ordeal, the quest is a success! Congratulations! Upon returning to Bottlecap Bay, each member is awarded 50 points and a flower pin!

CHARACTERS: Akechi & Dark Heart
QUEST: Busy Beeries
BUSY BEERRIES
The Canopy, though darkened from the shade of the leaf covering that gave the base its name, is actually rather well-lit. The problem with navigating comes with the height of these towering trees— at least for those Pokemon not blessed with the ability to fly. Traversing through the branches requires a keen sense of balance, as well as an awareness of their surroundings. For this reason, teamwork and spotting is very important! Through their combined hard work, the team successfully gathers plenty of berries and helpful materials! Upon turning these in, each member is rewarded with 50 points! Thanks for your help!

CHARACTERS: Firepaw, Akechi, A.B.A
QUEST: Missing?
SUMMARY: Akechi (good cop) and A.B.A (bad cop) are going to conduct interviews with the local Pokemon, trying to see if anyone has seen Phantump and check out places they were spotted recently. A.B.A and Firepaw are also going to keep an eye out for physical clues, and Firepaw will help her zone in on Phantump's scent if/when they get close. During the interviews, A.B.A tries to teach Firepaw how to intimidate people, but he struggles with it both because he's too soft to put his heart into it and because he's a foot tall and very cute. During the physical investigations, Akechi flies overhead to look for anything A.B.A and Firepaw might miss.

The team must work together to find the necessary clues that will point them in the correct direction! Through their various methods, this is what they uncover:
⟡ Phantump was last spotted swimming into the ocean.
⟡ You now know more about this type of Pokemon (such as its appearance, footprints when applicable, sounds it makes, etc).
⟡ Phantump was last heard saying something about recovering what was lost.
⟡ Traces of the missing Pokemon were found in various locations, indicating a trail.
⟡ Wait... wait! Stop!
That was weird... As you all were gathering notes, that last bullet point slipped out. But did someone say it? Did it occur as a simultaneous thought? No one seems to remember.
Not to worry, though! As that eerie feeling is shaken off, inspiration or realization hits the group, and they're able to find exactly where Phantump has wandered off to! It's half buried in the sand of the southern beach. Phantump can be found there, sleeping soundly. A little too soundly, in fact. You can't seem to wake it, and its body gives signs of illness, so you bring the Pokemon to the Pokeclinic. Still, Mareanie is grateful that they were found in time.

CHARACTERS: Emporio, Ring Spirit, Emmet
QUEST: Missing?
SUMMARY: Emmet will be using Shadow Sneak a whole bunch to get into weird places along the search. Ring Spirit will be focusing on physical clues, but he might put up the charm (romantic) on any potential witnesses. ...However that works.
And Emporio is just using his big brain to go after this methodically- something something 'when you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable', something.
