quest eight | tricksy treatses?
CHARACTERS | everyone!
DATE | October 24th~31st
RATING | PG?
SUMMARY | It's that time again-- time for a Halloween quest! As you wake up, everyone has a message waiting in their flash mail from the GMs with a checklist and it seems you're garbed in a unique costume upon exiting the building you slept in!
LOG | The costumes were probably a bit much, but the decorations around Mac Anu were subtle enough to not be gaudy, yet still lent a creepy air. The temperature was lowered to chilly, the sun was obscured with a low, clinging fog, and a breeze swept skeletal leaves through the town and over the surrounding water. All of the costumed NPCs spoke in whispers or otherwise hushed tones and the usual bustling was muted to one's own footsteps. The town had a faint pulsing of the beeping Relics throughout, leading everyone to a temple dungeon decorated for the quest. All in all, it was a bit creepy.
The temple dungeon itself was Buddhist in design to those familiar, with a few alterations to the area itself. While usually sunset and fairly bright, it was a foggy dusk setting with paper lanterns faintly lighting the pathways and inner workings of the temple itself. Trees were bare and grasping, the bamboo in between temple buildings dry and rattling. Ponds were dried up and dusty, and walking through the inside of the temple buildings was a harrowing task in itself. Everything was quiet and echoed bluntly off the walls, with the occasional scraping and scurrying before both unique or cliche monsters appeared in one's field of vision. Monsters are highly-stylized and appear as various Japanese youkai, while warping into any area that isn't the quest area greets players with aggro mobs of zombies, ghosts, and skeletons.
As players defeated monsters inside of the temple, they'd notice dropped items are different candies, which marked themselves off the list in their inbox automatically. There are five buildings to walk through, with rest areas between in the gardens for a breather. Each building has two randomly-dropped candies to gather of the ten, which are given to the GM in the last garden at the end.
So get to it, Players! Gather those items and earn your snazzy costume, as well as that final surprise item for playing in The World!
