Quest Board
QUESTS & REQUESTS
The Questboard is one of the primary ways to get involved in Rosavelle's day-to-day life. Most quests revolve around running errands, solving small problems, or helping out your fellow islanders in ways both mundane and magical. ICly, the Questboard is located in the Rosavelle Town Hall, where townsfolk and officials alike leave requests for help. Characters accept quests by speaking with the townhall staff, and can even submit their own requests to the board! This, of course, can be handwaved and you’re free to just submit an OOC form.
OOCly, completing a quest is simple! All you need to do is fill out the quest submission form below with a description of how your character plans to complete the quest and attach a link to the thread where you play this out. Your thread doesn't need to be fully completed, but should include at least seven comments from your character before it's eligible for points.
There are two main types of quests available on the board:
Quests also include a difficulty tag which is mostly there for flavor and to help you gauge the kind of situations your character might find themselves navigating. Difficulty doesn't impose any kind of fail state by default - if a quest expires, that's the only way to fail it. The one exception is Hard difficulty quests: these require a behind-the-scenes dice roll on the mod side to determine whether your character's attempt succeeds ICly. Even if the roll doesn't go your way, don't worry! You'll still earn a reduced point payout once you submit your quest thread.
New seasonal quests will be added each Season, so keep an eye on the board (and the calendar)!
QUEST THREAD SUBMISSION FORM:
OOCly, completing a quest is simple! All you need to do is fill out the quest submission form below with a description of how your character plans to complete the quest and attach a link to the thread where you play this out. Your thread doesn't need to be fully completed, but should include at least seven comments from your character before it's eligible for points.
There are two main types of quests available on the board:
- Permanent Quests are always available and can be taken up anytime during any season. They have a lower point reward, but are flexible: you can go out of your way to complete them with other players or just use them as prompt fodder in open posts or toplevels, which will also earn you a point. Basically, they're here to make sure there's always something available for your character to do around Rosavelle to earn some points or to give you a jumping off point on quiet months if nothing on the Seasonal Update works for you.
Seasonal Quests are tied to the current Season in Rosavelle (Wilting, Fallow, Budding, etc.) and have deadlines - usually a few weeks after they're posted. If left undone, they may affect the world in minor ways. A missed repair, party prep gone wrong, a magical mishap left unresolved... nothing apocalyptic, but it might change local events or how NPCs respond to your character. These quests must be completed with 2 or more characters and are meant to give you chances to build CR, explore new places, and create story hooks together. They also offer higher point payouts!

Quest Submission!
Content Warnings for clothing damage, wardrobe malfunctions, partial/full nudity.
Rosavelle's dueling clubs and societies are attempting to reduce dueling-related injuries by commissioning the creation of a new set of duelist blades embued with imprintcraft. These swords will slice through fabric and cloth like a hot knife through butter, but will be blunt as a stone against anything else. Clothing will be the only thing at risk of damage in duels.
...In theory, anyway. They actually still need to test the blades, and that requires testers who either have an abundance of bravery, or at least a distinct lack of modesty.
Pairs of Advisors who agree to test the blades will be given a set, as well as a pair of bathrobes and a private (possibly sound-proofed) practice room to spar in. Theoretically only a single cut is needed, but the more data they have the better, and advanced imprintwork specialists can repair any damaged outfits, no matter how bad it gets. The reward for testing will also be dependent on the thoroughness if the testing itself.
So the only real questions are...how far are the Advisors willing to go? Who wants to flirt and who wants to win

Proposed Resolution: Gold Ship, March 7th, and Verso all being Madlads who don't notice cold just brute force this, clearing the coral over growth by hand. Verso contributes a division of labor, splitting responsibilities of who's doing what from seeing to the safety of animals, watching for hazards, and dealing with the more delicate overgrowth.
Priority list is as follows 1) freeing trapped animals, 2) clearing chokepoints on the reef while avoiding cutting healthy coral, and 3) marking areas that need extra care (with something like a float or ribbon) for follow-up teams.
Gold Ship's Golshi touch is to herd the local corallivore population towards the larger troublespots in an attempt to cut down on mass growth with as little ecological impact as possible. This Is Not Also An Attempt To Start A Crab Army (probably.), but it is going to involve herding parrotfish.
Nyuu helps too. She brought lunch.

He gets an assist from several royal advisors while working through the logistics of it.

Quest: Coral Glow
Proposed Resolution: As mentioned in Gold Ship's submission, Verso helps by dividing tasks. These include keeping animals safe, clearing the reef, and marking extra areas that need attention for future teams. He is also a skilled swimmer who dives into the water to handle any problems directly. He deals with the cold by healing himself when needed.

Proposed Resolution: Dain convinces Ororon to go shopping for more resilient cold weather gear before they brave the snowy wilds, in order to prevent frozen fingies and ensure a successful harvest. Ororon will set one of the rare flowers they manage to collect aside as a thank-you for the old coatmaker at the Fountain Market Plaza who gave them a Royal Advisor's discount on their coats, even though Ororon has no idea what these flowers are for, exactly. :')

Proposed Resolution: Dain essentially advised Ororon to get some weather gear prior to fulfilling their quest. Although he also has no clue what the flora happen to be for, he may at some later date make an inquiry into it.

Proposed Resolution: Verso helps other characters get a clump of rare flowers growing high on a wall. The rope looks unsafe, so he helps in different ways:
- He climbs the wall himself while someone watches him
- He watches and guides someone else as they climb
- They repair the rope so it can be used safely again for reaching other hard spots
