[ JOB LISTING ] Guard [ DIFFICULTY LEVEL ] gaia_stargaia_stargaia_star [ TASK ] Thing's are getting a bit heated near one of the embassies, and additional guards are needed.
Quote:
One of the side effects of having War clan members visiting often is that sometimes they have an effect on the local populace. Which isn't necessarily terrible, but embassy buildings don't grow on trees. Except for the wooden ones, maybe, but those are extremely flammable. Anyway, calls for extra gaurds at the various embassies aren't uncommon, and this time it's Edict herself who takes notice of you.
"Go help."
Conquest isn't one to mince words, to be honest, but ignoring them isn't wise.
Pick any city in the world to have this take place and roll 3d4 for three prompts. You can have your character try to duck out of guard duty instead by rolling 1d10. 1-9 they get caught and you need to write all 4 prompts instead. Roll a 10 and they successfully don't get caught, after a fun day in the city causing a ruckus, they get back and join in time to receive pay and commendation for a job well done.
Embassy HP: 1000 A crude bomb of some sort is lobbed over the wall. You can choose to try tossing it over, defusing it, or containing the explosion. Roll 1d4 - even is successful, odd is a failure. Failure costs the embassy 250 HP A rioting mob storms the doors, there are literal torches and pitchforks being waved about. It's actually kind of charming, but this is no time for nostalgic remembrance! Fight them off, persuade them, or barricade the building. Roll 1d4 - even is successful, odd is a failure. Failure costs the embassy 250 HP (but no need to continue rolling for this prompt!) Hunters have infiltrated the battle zone, discreetly joining the human attacks. Pick them out and pick them off as best you can. Roll 6d100 to determine how much damage the hunters (and possibly you yourself) cause before you get rid of them A War Heir has gone happily berserk at the fighting and transformed into a fifty foot monster horse. Roll 1d100 to soothe them. If you roll any number containing 1 or 9, you succeed. If you don't, then that number is the damage taken by the embassy. Continue rolling until they are successfully soothed.
Should the embassy fall, Edict shows a quiet display of disappointment in you and has you removed from her sight for the rest of the day.

Visiting the Embassy was a daring feat, but Saya knew she had to gather more intelligence for the Hunters.
And who better to do that than a 'young upstart' like her?
At least, that's what she thought others thought about her.
Oh well. It made for an entertaining day.
CHARACTER: Aya DIVISION: Moon META JOURNAL ARCANA: Wheel of Fortune BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER: Aya is of medium height, has purple hued hair with white bangs, fair skin, and black sclera contacts with purple pupils (mostly to weird people out). It wouldn't be a far stretch to say that her favorite color was purple, but she does seem to have a humorous attitude about most things.
Her weapon is a staff with various flower designs carved into it, as well as the standard runes.
Stifling a yawn, Aya moved through the crazy War Horsemen, avoiding them as best she could -- even though some of them actually flirted with her.
Ugh.
Trying not to make a face that showed too much disdain, she blinked as, quite suddenly, there was a bomb thrown over the wall in her general direction.
She jerked, sidestepping a few feet before it went off, throwing up her arms in defense.
It took out a good chunk of the wall, and she stared at it before a Horseman clapped her on the shoulder, telling her to keep her head in the game.
... that's right. She had to at least try to defend so her cover wouldn't be blown.
Oops.

One of the War Horseman got a little too excited, and Aya found herself face to face with a 50-foot pony, balking at the sheer size of it.
And then she realized... that she would be the one that had to calm them down, wouldn't she?
Crap.

Moving around other Horsemen who were trying to get out of the way as they shouted and yelled, Aya reached up and tugged on the thing's tail, patting its hind leg as she glanced up to it in hopes that it would find the motion soothing.
This was kind of what she did with the mount in the jousting tournament, so this was kind of like the same thing, right?
It calmed down effectively and nuzzled her, and Aya pushed aside the sudden feeling in her heart, telling herself that No, this was a HORSEMAN, and promptly moving away from it to deal with something else.

Walking over to the side, Aya grimaced as she huffed to herself, ignoring her feelings.
Nope, she wasn't even going to acknowledge that, no, no, no.
Seeing a rioting mob nearby, Aya scowled.
"NO. GO HOME." Stunned the crowd stopped as it was just getting started, shooting her strange looks.
Aya was so done with the Embassy. She was done with everything. Honestly, she just wanted to go home and curl up in her own bed and sleep.
Sleeping for a couple of days actually sounded kind of nice...
