Job Location: House Of Lost Souls
Job Description: There have been rumors going around of a house, in the cursed lands, that is just filled with statues. They never seem to move, but they do. As people have observed the building, they have noticed the statues located at different locations form where they were previously. But, anyone that has entered, hasn't returned. It's strange, as there haven't been any sounds made from the building, not cries for help or nothing. And as people have looked through the windows of the house, no blood, no remains, no nothing has been found. It feels like they have all just vanished.
Now, your job. A group of people, who have lost people to the building are asking for help from mage guilds, both legal and dark, to enter the house and try to retrieve the people or to at least find out what happened to them and to stop the entity or entities behind it. This is a dangerous task, as no one knows what kind of creatures are located in this building or even what they look like. All that is known, is that there are statues in the house and a lot of them. Almost all the rooms that can be looked into, have multiple statues in them, ranging from size. This is a job, that is suggested only the best or the bravest go on.
When you first enter the building, you notice a small piece of paper on the ground that has these words written on it: '' Don't even blink, blink and your dead. '' This messages was probably left by a previous victim. After you enter, the door closes behind you and locks with a magical seal, that can't be broken.
Clarification on the creatures: The beings within this building are statues, that can move and attack you, but only when you aren't looking at them. When you do look at them, they appear as regular stone statues. When these creatures touch you, not like the regular victims, you won't be teleported away, instead the deal according damage to your mind. They deal no physical damage, but they can grab you. Just a touch from these statues, does damage according to what level of monster they are. Weak do 5%, normal do 10% and strong do 15%. If you are to get knocked out, you will be teleported away and the only way to save you, is to defeat the boss. The job is completed, when the boss goes down. If the boss dies, all the other statues will die along with it. Although, as long as the boss lives, all the statues have the ability to rebuild themselves. This means, that they will just keep adding up, every roll that is made will stack more monsters to defend against.
Enemies:
Weak:Statue of a Cupid. (x5)
It is basically a small statue, resembling a human baby, only with tiny wings. It is not capable of flight. They are usually the most mobile of all the statues, quickly moving on all fours or just on their legs. They make sounds of a small child laughing or crying, depending on their situation. Like all other statues, they can't move when you look at them, but will move incredibly fast, if you even blink. The Cupids will go down in 1 A-rank hit, but will rebuild themselves after 2 posts.
Normal:Statue of a Weeping Angel (x3)
It is a statue of an angel, weeping. It has it's face covered when you first see them and they won't move. But, as you walk past and don't keep your eye on them, they will move, not as fast as the cupids, but fast enough to easily catch you. They make no sounds. They are, well gray colored, have wings on their back, but not capable of flight and they also posses claws and sharp teeth. Which are mostly used to scare people and not to fight. They take 3 A-rank hits to down, but will rebuild themselves after 5 posts.
Strong:Statue of a Mage (x1)
It appears to be a statue of a famous mage and seemingly looks identical. Some look very old and are of mages who have died ages ago, but some are of this era's most famous mages, both legal and dark. So, it would be surprising, to find a statue of your guild master in this house. Although ,they may look like them, they have none of their powers, it is just a disguise. They still use the same tactics as the other statues, but just have more strength, able to walk through walls, if needed or easily knock down doors. They take 5 A-rank hits to down and rebuild themselves after 6 posts.
Boss:Gigantic Statue
This statue is not noticeable from anywhere. It will only show itself once the boss is rolled or when 45 posts have been made. The creature is 60 feet tall, making it the biggest statue around. When it awakens, the hoes is destroyed, with all the statues that were after you destroyed as well, but they will rebuild. This gives at least 2 posts of time to attack the giant. The giant statue resembles a queen, with a crown on it's head. It attacks by trying to hit you with it's arm, stomping on you or by beams of pure energy created from it's eyes or mouth. This creature attacks with physical attacks and not mental attacks like the others before. During this fight, the other statues will still try to attack you, making it quite hectic, but after the boss is taken out, the others statues will crumble to dust. The boss takes 15 S-rank hits to take out. It doesn't rebuild itself.
Reward: 75000 Jewels after the boss has been defeated.

Ignite, seriously, I still believe these stories you heard are stupid. Statues that just so happen to move when you don't see them? Yes, that's believable. Why are we going on this job anyways? Elyx asked, the both of them walking through Black Rose, on their way out. This was a new job, it sounded much crazier than the previous jobs he ever went on, not even the A rank jobs he went on had such stupid stories such as this. People getting lost in a house, well it was their fault for even going into the haunted village in the first place. Ignite crossed her arms before looking over to the boy, her eyes half closed with no appreciation for the attitude. These are regular people who have gotten lost, if people never had troubles, you would be no better than a rogue. Ignite replied before she the knocked Elyx with her left fist, the skull being pushed to the side, causing the Violinist to stumble to regain his balance. The both of them had a weird friendship based on minimally hurting each other, there just seemed to be no better way to show it. The She-Phoenix then revealed why she took the job in the first place. Besides! Look at this jewel reward! 75,000 jewels is nothing to sneeze at, that's almost our monthly rent right there! Ignite exclaimed before she shoved the paper in the boys face. Now Elyx was curious on what job she took.
Elyx snatched the paper from Ignite while she shoved it at his face, and the first thing that caught his eye was the ranking that it recommended. What the hell!? Ignite, this is a SS mission! Elyx exclaimed before looking down to the reward, no A rank job would ever pay 75,000 jewels! What was she even thinking when she took this job!? For one thing, they weren't even allowed to have this paper with them in the first place, if Kakuma found out that they were going alone on a SS ranked job, she would probably beat the both of them down for an hour straight. All right, maybe she was not the type to do that, but she certainly had special ways of punishing those who didn't follow the rules. Ignite, not even a chocolate bar can make up for this, Kakuma will kill us if she found out you took such a dangerous job! Elyx once again yelled, only for the attention of a few people in the village to hear and turn their heads this way. Elyx and Ignite both felt their bodies shrink for a small moment, taking in this awkward moment that they forced upon themselves. (Chibi). Ignite gripped Elyx's wrist and rushed the two of them to the Neutral Ground Borders to get away from the group of people before things could get any worse. Listen Elyx, this job in the job description allows A ranked mages to take it as well, we just need to find another A ranked mage and we can do this. Ignite said, trying to comfort the boy, but the attempt went to the gutters. For one thing, the both of them were not going to drag Enola back into a job, last time they did that, she ended up losing all of her jewels due to the sexual harassment the Maid's pet showed. Even if that were not the case, she were not A rank from what Elyx could tell. After all, he just became an A ranked mage himself.
The both of them continued to walk through the borders until they entered the Forest that separated the Neutral Grounds from the Meadows that would lead him into the Haunted Village. This house, according to the paper, was known as the House of Lost Souls. A decent name, though it might need to emphasize a little bit more if it wanted to intimidate the higher ranked mages. There was one more question, and it was a good one as well. There are barely any A rank mages nowadays Ignite, where do you expect us to find the A rank mage that just so happens to be taking this same job as we are? Elyx asked as he crossed his arms, one overlapping the other. The both of them continued to walk through the grass, it was not an easy question for the She-Phoenix to answer. She full well knew that the lack of high ranking mages were too great, at this point, they might as well try to use connections, or maybe claim she is an A rank mage. If they get caught in that act though, they could get booted out of Fiore. From this point, they can't return to Black Rose without this job completed, the people who heard this would spread the news of an actually SS ranked job being completed. Kakuma will probably hear of this, and if they go back with just bad news, they were done for. At this point, they need to beat this job successfully, and if they didn't want to die, they needed to find an A ranked mage, because it's pretty clear that anything higher would not care about it. If neither of them found a mage that fit the description, they were done for.
