[ 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.

Figuring that it wouldn't be a good idea to try to play hooky a second time, Tessa walked to the Embassy to prevent another attack due to the War Horsemen meeting up and making the people around them a little antsy and riled up.
Her jaw set as she drew in a long sigh, looking out over the walls at the incoming Hunters.
They were like ants themselves -- they crawled up from everywhere, and there was no end to them.
But like ants, did they also have a Queen?
It was a curious notion.

The hunters came in droves, and Tessa rushed forward into action, lifting her fists and punching and kicking wherever she could.
She wasn't about to have a fair fight with Hunters.
Grimacing as one elbowed her in the face, she whirled and decked them in the neck, watching with satisfaction as they went down like a bag of bricks.
She didn't see them move again.
Honestly, she didn't really care if they were alive or not.
It took less time to get them out than it took them getting in, but she knew the battle wasn't quite over. Not yet...

After the Hunter fiasco came the angry mob, with torches, pitchforks... the works. You thought of it, and they had it -- and they used whatever they could at their disposal.
Jumping into the fray again, Tessa aimed low this time -- fighting dirty.
It was what she was best at.
And what was even better?
The embassy didn't even retain a single shred of damage.

Hearing a rather terrifying whinny behind her, Tessa jerked to see that one of the War Horsemen had gotten a bit too excited... so she had to soothe it quickly before it damaged the Embassy.
Just her luck.
Walking up to the Horseman, she put a hand on their leg and instantly calmed them down -- apparently they didn't realize how tiny things would be, and upon feeling her hand... they suddenly came to their senses and changed back with a bit of humility.
"Be more careful next time, yeah?" She asked the War Horseman, before patting them on the back and moving to leave.
Her job was done here.
