[ 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.

Vania had decided to help the Embassy out again, because why wasn't a group full of War Horsemen fun to get in on?
Plus, she got to punch people, which she liked. She not only got to punch people, she got to punch people she didn't like.
That was a super huge bonus.

One of the bombs came first, and Vania moved forward to intercept it.
She ended up missing it completely as her eyes widened, and it was all she could do to duck out of the way in order to avoid the blast damage.

After the surprise bomb, Hunters infiltrated the Embassy and swarmed on Vania, and she fought back as best she could due to the circumstances.
This time, they fought dirtier... and Vania had to pull every trick in the book to try to push them back.

Once the first wave of Hunters came, Vania thought she had earned a break, but luck just wasn't on her side today -- she was trampled to the ground and one of her wings was nearly stepped on, before she rolled and just barely missed a sword slicing down where she had just been.
Growling, she jumped to her feet and punched the Hunter in the gut, watching as they fell and tried to crawl off to save themselves.
So she ended up kicking them into the water, weapon and all.
Sneering, she stared down at it before watching as the other Horsemen chased off the rest of the Hunters, and she surveyed the damage.
It was pretty bad, but at least things were still standing.
For the most part.
