[ 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.

Back at the Embassy and stretching for a warm up, Tessa watched her fellow Horsemen closely.
They were mingling, but they were less enthusiastic than the times before that, almost as if... there was some kind of storm coming.
Tessa didn't like that feeling.
She moved over to the wall and grimaced at seeing a slew of Hunters gathering, so she got herself ready to fight them again, and intended to make it so some would leave with scars.
Tessa wouldn't kill them. No, killing was out of the question.
Because if you killed them, they wouldn't learn anything.
CHARACTER: Tessa CLAN: Famine META JOURNAL ARCANA: Star BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER: Stoic most of the time, but with a heart of gold. Has green hair that usually blocks her vision, and has recently found a love for hair ties and barrettes. Has an unusual fascination with collecting various sizes and styles of clothing.
The Hunters came hard and fast, and despite preparing herself for them... Tessa was wholly unprepared for the mass amount of them.
She quickly ran through the ranks and found what she thought led them in, delivering a swift punch to their nose and making them bleed.
Sometimes, it was so pretty to watch the blood well up on their face.
Fascinating, too.
Turning to attack a few more Hunters, Tessa decided to use her teeth as well, and found... rather quickly... that she abhorred the taste of Hunters.
There would be a need for strong alcohol tonight.

Wiping her teeth off with a cloth, Tessa flexed her jaw and grimaced at the Hunter taste that still remained in her mouth.
She wanted very desperately to get rid of the taste, but for now, she wanted to get rid of the Hunters inside of the Embassy.
She was very tired of all of them going places where they weren't welcome, and shooed them out as best she could with kicks and punches in places that would leave very pretty bruises.

The last insult to injury was a crudely made bomb that was thrown over the wall.
Tessa was being attentive, and ran to catch it, throwing it back over the wall with a grin.
There were shouts of dismay and panic, and then a large explosion as Hunter bodies went flying.
This was a good day.
Now... if only she could get that awful taste out of her mouth.
