Location: Wawnet Inn, Fort Vlastarus

Quest Giver: Narussa

Objective: Narussa runs the Wawnet Inn just west of the bridge into the Imperial City. She is a lover of fine and rare wines and is looking for anyone who can bring her the illusive Shadowbanish wine. Through the unsuccessful attempts of others she has recently learned of one particular location in which it is to be found, however as of yet, no one who has set out to find it has returned.

Meet Narussa at her Inn and speak with her about the job. Once everyone has arrived you may set off for Fort Vlastarus, a Vampire Lair just off the Gold Road, east of Skingrad. The chest containing the wine (five bottles) is in the western of the dungeon's two Northernmost rooms. There is only one level in the dungeon, it is rather small. The chest is guarded by three vampires, several undead creatures and a few wild animals.

Reward: One you have collected the Shadowbanish Wine you may return for your reward. Narussa is paying 100g for each bottle. In addition, regardless of bottles found each character may choose from a list of dropped/random loot one item for their character. This will be found IC.

This list is : Pending

Important note: Because of the nature of this quest, and in the spirit of excitement, it is a competitive quest. You will not be working with other characters unless you come to that arrangement in the quest. It will be every person for themselves, but no actual killing is allowed. (Roleplayer rules, not Narussa's -she could care less.) You may fight, you may injure, you may sweet talk your way into an alliance, but it is up to you how to play the game. It will be a race to the fort as it is a day's journey or so from the Inn. Once there you either have to fight the baddies by yourself or team up with other players. Once the baddies are disposed of there will be a dice roll to see who gets the bottles. Unless for some reason everyone agrees to part with just one bottle? Unlikely....but we will see. It will be fun. [There will be rewards for all players regardless of who ends up with the bottles.]

Bottle Rules/Important Notes: See post below. (Please read very carefully - failure to follow these rules may result in expulsion of the quest or no reward)

Bottle Rules/Important Notes:


There are five bottles of Shadowbanish Wine, however they are each marked with a different colour wax seal.
The wine's creator put these seals on the bottles as they relate to the year the bottle was sealed.

Yellow - 1761
Purple - 1762
Green - 1763
Blue - 1764
Red - 1765

The bottles are hidden in five separate locations within Fort Vlasturas, and they are guarded by Vampires.
(Not that the Vampires are that interested in the wine mind you, but they'll still attack you on sight.)




How find a bottle:

arrow When you character first comes across a bottle in character, first they must identify the colour of it's seal.
You may pick any colour in the list above, so long as it is not already being used. You must also roll one, 100 sided dice.

arrow If no other character(s) come to compete with you for that bottle, then your character may claim it.
If however your character was being followed by one or more characters, they will be able to roll one, 100 sided dice also.

arrow The highest of rolls wins the bottle.
No questions asked.

arrow If you lost the roll, then you MUST post that the character who won the roll, got the bottle.
(Keep in mind you don't have to start a duel with someone, you could try talking them into a deal instead)

arrow In the event that characters are working together, they still get to roll individually. But since they are working together, it counts as two chances to win, (which makes sense that people working together would have higher odds of beating someone who is working on their own). You must roll higher than both of them to win.




How to a claim a bottle:

arrow Bottles can be taken from other players once they are carrying them,
if your character, comes across another character carrying a bottle.
(For instance a character has just beaten you to finding a bottle, you may attempt to take the bottle from them.)
To do this, you make your intentions to fight for it known in character (how you choose to do that is up to you, either threaten or attack them).

arrow You also roll one 100 sided dice. The character you are attacking, will also roll one 100 sided dice.

arrow The highest roll wins the duel and the bottle.

arrow Keep in mind that if someone has more then one bottle you must roll individually for each bottle you are attempting to take

arrow Now here comes the reason why the bottles are marked. You CAN NOT, duel for the same bottle twice. You may try to find the bottle, and then try to claim it from another character, but you cannot try to claim it twice. Once you have either lost the bottle in a duel, or failed to attain it in a duel, you do not get a second chance with that particular bottle.

arrow We will be recording which bottles have been contested for who currently owns it.

arrow Once a bottle is in the possession of someone, and that bottle has been contested for by everyone else (either because they tried to attain it, or they lost it) that bottle it effectively presently bound to that character.

arrow The quest will end once all the bottles have been bound to an owner or owners.




Things to remember:

arrow If you fail to remember to roll the dice, then your character effectively forfeits the current contest, as your roll will count as zero.

arrow People who work together have a higher chance of winning bottles.

arrow You CANNOT duel for the same bottle twice, this doesn't include the initial contest over picking the bottle up from its long resting place.

arrow If you are working in a team, and have bested all your opponents together, you may still choose to backstab each other, which will force you to roll one, 100 sided dice to determine the winner, and soul owner of the bottles. Or you can play nice and split the reward as you planned, just so long as no one outside of your team has a right to try and claim your bottles.

arrow If you win a contest with a character who is holding a bottle you cannot claim, you must leave it, put something in the IC like you didn't see that one or didn't have time to pick it up. You may only take the bottles you are able to claim.

arrow You must only use one, 100 sided dice. To do otherwise, accidentally or intentionally forfeits your attempt.

arrow You cannot run from a duel, you must engage. Rolling successfully means you are permitted to run. Not all duels require you to bloody up your opponent.

arrow Everyone must keep track of what bottle they are carrying in their IC posts, just like with the recent Marble event, characters are expect to add a footer to their post for keeping track of their bottles, and you must specify which colour bottle you are carrying.

Well to be honest if no one else is interested (which it appears) I think I'm going to close this for the time being. I'm currently in two quests and getting ready to join a third one, confused insanity's herb gathering non quest roleplay.

Then I am also involved in my own dragon age roleplay as well as another dragon age roleplay in a different guild.

I'm kinda thinking I'm starting to get in over my head.

How about you just join the golden moss bandits quest like you signed up for, and perhaps set up your own quest?

Ooo
Jaydine would like me to join this other quest, but I said I would go as Tanna in that one. But I kinda need someone to kick her a** into crab hunting so maybe they can duo in that one?

This quest might be a bad idea for Tanna anways, she'll get her arse kicked. Plus Marilien would join this one, she wouldn't hunt crabs. Marilien will join this one for the money and the conflict, plus vampire dusts can be useful.

By the way.

If anyone is confused about the bottle rules.
You can ask me as well as Jaydine, since I am the moron who came up with the idea and the rules ><
It's really quite simple, it just took a bit of explaining. XD
