Job Location: Spooky Forest
Job Description: The medicinal shop in Magnolia can't seem too pay their workers enough too journey into the Spooky Forest too gather a specific type of flower needed as an ingredient in a powerful medicine. Find it for them! But watch out...something's lurking, stalking, snarling.
Enemies:
Weak: Goblin x3 (Who knows what they're doing, and why they've decided too follow you. But they are not friendly...at all. A few hits should clobber them out for the count though.)
Normal: Wild Pack Wolves x4 (Four wolves have been stalking you...and they've decided you're lunch! Defeat them with at least 2 hits on each one of them! They attack with claws and fangs, each will attack you once each round, roll too block!)
Strong: Lone Wolf (This wolf rolls solo, and that alone should prove how tough he is! He attacks you twice each round on his own. Every so often he'll attempt a pounce attack too pin you too the ground. Roll 3 "Block Die" if he does this. If you roll 2 or more Blocks, you don't get pinned. If you get pinned he bites you for "4 Attack Die", though you can still attempt too block. Take him out with 5 hits!)
Boss: Dire Wolf (This wolf is....huge too be honest. He stands about ten feet, quite big for a wolf, indeed. He'll attempt too run circles around you too confuse you, but stay focused! Every so often he'll dive in for an attempted bite or claw swipe against you. Roll 3 "Attack Die" each time he dives in for an attack! Roll 3 "Block Die" too see if you get away. If you don't block you'll be shredded for C-Ranked damage, be careful! His normal bite attack also deals C-Ranked damage and can truly hurt! Put him down with 10 hits! Good luck!)
Reward: 2000 Jewels
The sky was dark and ominous as the dark cloaked mage approached the medicinal shop of Magnolia city. The sound of thunder echoed in the distance, a deep bass echoed by the high pitched “ding” of the bell that rested above the entrance door of the shop. Damien Marx lowered the hood of his cape as he entered the shop only to be overwhelmed by the vast amount of aromas that lingered heavily in the shop. The mage had no clue how long the shop had been here, but he felt that the very essence of the herbs had melded with the very board that made up the building. Along the left wall sat shelf displaying various different types of dried herbs and seeds.
Suddenly there was a loud clattering sound from further back in the shop. A short elderly man appeared from behind a curtain drape that lead to what one could assume to be a storage and work area. The man had obviously seen better years, with his balding head and tuft of snow white hair. However, he was surprisingly agile for his age not taking but a moment to round the desk and approach Damien. “Hello there young man I don't believe I've seen you before. Looking for some herbal medicines or tea perhaps? My wife and I prepare the finest remedies in all of Magnolia using the rarest of ingredients that most shops have never even seen and I assure you if anyone has what you're looking for it's us.” The elderly man flashed him a warm smile as he lavishly drew his arms about the room indicating his wares.
Not one bit of it phased Damien though. He saw right through that glossed over smile that the man put on for show. The man was obviously passionate about his work, but it seemed to Damien that he wasn't about the business. A simple look around showed that most of the tincture and medicines for display were merely those to treat common things. The mage easily spotted wrinkle cream, insect repellants and various other concoctions that he doubted were anything the shop keeper felt passion for. The man clasped his hands together and held them in front of himself, looking at Damien expectantly. “I'm actually here on a matter of business. I am a wizard from the guild Eclipse Soul and I have taken up your job request sir.”
Upon hearing this a different look passed over the old man's face one of distraught, grief, and anguish. “Ah.. Yes.. Well then. You will be wanting to know the details of the job I assume.” Damien attempted to give a reply but the old man turned sharply and went through the curtain again. He returned with a tattered book that was well worn from years of use and a glass jar that contained a simple white flower. “Me and my wife make many remedies for the people of Magnolia, but the rarest and most useful of the ingredients we need for true medicinal purpose are much harder to come by than others. A large quantity of our most powerful herbs comes from what locals often refer to as Spookey Forest. In our younger days we would journey through the forest ourselves to gather our ingredients, but now our bodies have grown weaker and I doubt we would survive an encounter with one of the creatures that lurks within those trees. So for the last few years we have hired various wizards from the guild of Fiore to gather the rarest of flowers for us. This one in particular is the Anu Flower. This is the what I request for you to retrieve.” The old man opened the book to a picture of the same flower within the jar. The page listed many things about the flower from it's appearance and medicinal properties were to where it grew.
After reading through the contents of the page Damien set the book down and looked up to the elderly man. “Pardon me sir but do you think I could smell the flower you have in that jar? Due to the nature of my magic I have an enhanced sense of smell and it would aide me greatly to be able to identify the flower by it's scent.” With an almost perplexed look the elderly man handed the jar over to the mage. Damien undid the lid and inhaled deeply of the flower's parfum and committed it to memory before resealing the jar. “Thank you sir. I will be back with the flower before nightfall.” Without another word Damien slipped out the door and began to make his way down the street in the direction of Spookey Forest. “Drip. Drip. Drop.” Came the sound of droplets of water as it the collided with the pavement of the road. The storm was about to begin. From the door way to the shop the elder man shouted after him. “But! The storm!” With a hint of a smile Damien turned his head to look back. “I don't mind. It just means there'll be less people out to deal with!” With those final words the mage pulled up the hood of his cloak and was loss to the elderly man's vision as the downpour began and sheets of water lost Damien to his view.
