- Job Name: Outbreak (Infection Series 1 of 5)
Job Requirements: 2 C-rank or one B-rank minimum, Minimum post count of 30. Minimum Word count of 300
Job Location: Ancient Ruins
Job Description: A strange door was found in the ancient ruins last week, upon its open all contact was lost with the excavation crew. At first, it was thought to just be a issue with the communication lacrima, after a extra twenty-four hours of silence the foreman of the crew grew worried and sent a security team. They reached the main camp and then came under attack by the excavation crew… then silence again. The remaining workers decided to seal the ruins and call for Rune Knight intervention. A Rune Knight Assault team arrived, using weapons and gear that made it clear they were aware of what they were dealing with, and entered the ruins. They never returned, so now the remaining survivors have called upon the guilds for help.
You arrive three day later to find nobody waiting for you, just blood and destruction but as far as you can tell no one has left the ruins area. Many discarded weapons are found on the ground and there are signs of a fight. But there are no bodies, with the amount of blood on the ground and walls when there should be quite a few. Whats going on? Enter the Ruins and find out what's going on.
Enemies:
Weak:
Infected person x4: They seem to have lost all sense of themselves and just wander about until a food source makes itself known… and their food source is you. They will try to bite you and swing at you, with each attack dealing B-rank damage. Thankfully they are quite slow and not hard to avoid. For some reason, they seem to be rotting as if they were dead. each person takes 2 B rank hits to take down.
Normal:
Infected Dog x2: These Dogs are scary fast, hard to hit, and they will try to kill you. They deal B-rank damage and will try and pin you to the ground. Try not to let them get too close. If you fail to kill the dogs in three post they will howl and another 2 will come running. Each Dog can take 1 B-rank of damage but they are hard to hit.
Strong:
Hunter: Huge scaled creatures - you're not even sure what they are honestly. They have scales that reduce damage by half and long sharp claws that deal A-rank damage. They are incredibly fast and clearly very smart, smart enough to ambush you. Note: This enemy will run from you and get an ally if it fails to kill you in three post rotations. If it escapes, it will return in one post rotation with two buddies for a total of three hunters. Each hunter can take 5 B ranks of damage
Boss:
Tyrant: Only one exists but running into it will ruin your day. This thing stands over ten feet tall and its very steps crack the ground. On its right arm are four three-foot long claws capable of cutting stone and steel. It can run over sixty mile per hour so running is not really option; and if it charges, you only have a brief time to get out of the way. The Tyrant can take 10! B-rank hits before falling to its knees you then have to deal another 10! B ranks to it heart to kill it. it will stand back up after one post rotation causing is base HP to reset but not its heart HP.
Reward:
Job grants B-rank EXP and access to the second job in the Panic! “Infection Series 2 of 5.”
Seikatsu decided he'd go on and 'borrow' this job, he'd borrowed quite a few from their guild hall before, and was sure no one would miss it in particular. Seikatsu figured it would be about a days flight from Hargeon, but it would be manageable. It took a little less than a day for him to fly the distance, and decided to take a nap in a nearby tree. Granted he was close to the site of the incident, the area was still quite calm. Birds were singing during the day, and at night there was a spectacular view of the stars. As morning broke, Seikatsu went ahead and jumped down from his branch, and looked around. The air was still, there were no birds chirping, and it felt as though he were not alone. Seikatsu set his hand on his Thorn of Betrayal. He heard the crunch of snapping twigs behind him and drew his sword, stopping shy of cutting the person's head off when he saw he wasn't holding a weapon. "State you name and business." Seikatsu demanded, looking at the person through the tan tattered hooded-cloak that hid all but his chin from those looking at him.
