Sky Tower
Job Description:
Your group received a letter, telling them to climb to the
top of the Sky Tower for a meeting; the siblings will
begin their journey to fulfill their destiny.
At the Sky Tower, the group is picked up by a rather
large beast covered in Black and Blueish crystals. Any
Dragon Slayers will find that their natural advantage
over dragons, is somehow nullified against these ones.
The dragons however proved to have no intention of
eating the group, as they drop them all off safely on a
small, floating island high above the clouds. The air is
frigid, and rather thin. Sky slayers will be fine with the
altitude, and Ice Slayers will be fine with the cold.
A massive Dragon, easily larger than the rest makes
its entry, telling the group his name is "Xiuhcoatl" and
he wishes to test the mettle of humanity, starting with
the group. He tells them that they'll be put through a
series of 9 challenges, and if the group lives and passes
them all, he'll give them a special mark as well as give
them a scroll that allows them to learn a spell. Also, he
tells you that he won't take you back until either they're
all dead, or all living members of the group finishes
the challenges. That said, he stomps his massive foot
on the ground and a red portal opens beneath your
group, him making the joke "Have a nice fall." with
a rather amused tone.
~~Fire~~
(5 Posts Minimum)
There are thousands, and thousands of massive holes in
the ground. Periodically, a blast of fire will erupts from it.
For fire slayers, this is a cinch since they can just eat it, but
for other wizards this will be a challenge. The holes erupt
flames at random, and seem to erupt faster as someone
gets closer to the middle of the arena. In the middle of the
arena is a pillar made of Red Crystal. Touch it and this small
challenge is complete, the group is teleported to a new arena.
Also this fire is a bit special... on 100% tried and true Dragon
Slayers can consume it. Any other kind of slayer, or if a mage
is able to consume fire as if they were a slayer; is torched.
~~Earth~~
(5 Posts Minimum)
This arena is made of nothing but rocks. In your hand is a
glass of water, filled to the very top. Every person who fails
this challenge is teleported to the next arena, and put inside
a barrier where they wait until the challenge is cleared. If no
one clears the challenge, all will be teleported back and it
will restart. Xiuhcoatl's voice is heard throughout the arena
warning you not to spill a single drop of water. All of a sudden
the ground begins shaking violently, and large rocks begin
flying from all directions at the group. An Earth Slayer can
consume the flying rocks, but there's no way to stop the
constant shaking beneath their feet. After 5 posts (15 in
character minutes) the shaking will stop. If so much as 1
member of the group has their glass 100% full, the challenge
is passed and all in the arena is teleported to the next.
~~Sky~~
(5 Posts Minimum)
An arena with no floor... or seemingly so. The floor is
actually invisible, and gives you a marvelous view o the
world over 50,000 feet below you... Your challenge, as
told by Xiuhcoatl, is to find your way around an invisible
maze with no walls to prevent you from falling to your
death, and touch the crystal in the middle. While moving
about this arena, violent winds will periodically shoot you
off the arena floor. Quick thinking will be your savior here
as if you get blown off, you're caught by a smaller crystal
dragon and set at the very beginning of the arena. What
makes this a real challenge is that after someone falls off,
the entire arena shifts and the paths all change simultaneously.
The crystal in the middle is clear with white outlines, touching it
teleports the group to the middle of the next arena.
~~Water~~
(5 Posts Minimum)
This arena is in the middle of an ocean in the sky. The water's
surprisingly deep, but if you got a good 50 feet down you'll
fall from the sea to the floor; 50,000 feet. Your challenge is
pretty straight forward... Get to land before the sharks get
to you. First person to touch the blue crystal on the island
that's 3 or so miles away will pass the challenge for the whole
team. After that you're teleported to the next arena. Oh, quick
note... the sharks are invincible so all attacks are useless.
~~Metal~~
(5 Posts Minimum)
In this arena, it's a massive metallic circular wall with a dusty
ground. Xiuhcoatl will only tell you one word, Survive. The
challenge begins and 1x Steel Atronoch emerges for each
member of the team. Every time it dies it instantly comes
back to life and continues attacking you. If consumed by a
metal slayer, a new one will spawn immediately. After 5
posts (15 minutes in-character) the atronochs all fall apart
and a shiny, grey crystal appears in the middle of the room.
Touching the crystal teleports everyone to the next arena.
~~Venom~~
(5 Posts Minimum)
Before you is a room and a white line 2 inches from your feet.
On the other side of the white line is a massive room filled with
green gas. A white circle appears, only large enough for 1 person
to enter. Xiuhcoatl will let you know that you need to stay in the
circle, or the poison gas will kill you rather quickly even if you
don't inhale it. Wind will only make the gas move around, but since
the room is an enclosed space, the gas won't go away. In the gas are
several creature who will violently attack you if they see you, so
venom slayers should avoid eating the gas. Also if you step out
of the circle spears fly up from the ground and impale you. Those
not in the white circle will see an aerial view of where you are,
where the enemies are, and where you need to go. It's their
responsibility to guide you to the end. On the other side is a
Green pillar, touch it and the entire group passes. They're all
sent to the next arena.
~~Lightning~~
(5 Posts Minimum)
This arena is actually a small room with thousands of knobs on
the walls. This one's a puzzle that requires the players to turn
the knobs in a specific order to pass. Turning the wrong knob
will electrocute everyone in the room with a rather painful blast
of lightning. Naturally, lightning slayers can consume this. The
Knobs will also reset when 1 is turn out of sequence, fun! Once
all 2,500 knobs are turned in the proper order the group is sent
to their next challenge.
~~Darkness~~
(5 Posts Minimum)
Another combat challenge will begin as soon as the group enters
this area. It's filled with shadows, darkness, and smells of death.
There's not a single spark of light here, all you here is the beings
charging at you. You can't hear, or see anything here, and the
enemies have no scent. Even darkness slayers can't consume this
much dark energy. For 5 posts (15 in character minutes) you'll
be obligated to survive the forces of evil using nothing but your
instincts. Once this is completed, a blast of light will come from
the sky and teleport the group back to Xiuhcoatl.
~~Light~~
(1 Post Per Player)
In the room with Xiuhcoatl, a healing energy causes all wounds
to go away. The massive dragon will glow, and a tattoo appears
on everyone's body (location is up to the player) the shape can
vary depending on the person but is always some form of dragon.
Xiuhcoatl commends the group for passing his challenges, and a
small crystal dragon approached the group and supplies them with
1x Scroll of Knowledge. The scroll contains a spell that's in line
with the magic each individual knows.
Reward:
2x B Rank EXP
+1x Scroll of Knowledge
+1x Xuihcoatl's Mark
Access to "The God's Challenge"
Xiuhcoatl's Mark - This is a Strong Rank Magic Item that takes up the appropriate Magic Item slot. It cannot be traded between accounts, or any other characters. It cannot be upgraded through any means other than completing the "Dragon Hunter" story-line. The difference between this item and other items is that it may have 1x additional passive slot; this passive ability is a D Rank slot. If the character that completed this is changed this item is removed from that account and this job must be done again.
Scroll of Knowledge - Provides the player with 1x C Rank spell slot that they may freely create a spell for. It cannot be traded in the Shop to upgrade an existing slot or be redeemed for jewel, if the player is maxed out for C Rank slots, one of their existing ones will be converted into 2x D Rank slots and this will take its place, and cannot be upgraded to a higher rank spell slot through any means other than completing "Dragon Hunter" jobs.
![]() | Zork was laying on his bed, completely spread out with a bubble coming from his nostril, inflating as he exhaled and deflating as he inhales. Zork's legs kicked a bit as he melted away into his dream. A pleasant smile was across his face as his feet kicked a couple times while within his dream. And then reality kicked back in once his alarm clock turned on, repeatedly assaulting his ears with the same buzzing noise he came to know and love. Brrr Brrr Brrr Brrrr, rang through his ears before Zork opened his mouth and shut the alarm clock off with his tongue. With a quick stretch, Zork leapt out of the bed to notice a letter slid under his door. With a grumble, which sounds like a ribbit, he walked over and opened the envelope to read the contents of the letter. His eyes scanned back and forth for a moment before tossing the sheet of paper onto his nightstand, using this time to get dressed in his usual armor. After putting on his cloak, he grabbed his sheathed sword and walked out. At the bottom of the Sky Tower The armored frog ribbited as he looked from the base of the tower all the way up towards the top. The clouds were out making it extremely difficult to see the apex of the tower. The sheet of paper he received was in his left hand and he turned to look down at the sheet. "Top of the Sky Tower, Ribbit?" Zork asked inquisitively. He seemed to be the only person here at the moment. He made sure to pack rations with him consisting of both human food and the usual insects that most humans wouldn't dare put into their mouths. A small skin of water hung at his side for hydrating; thankfully due to his froggy skin, he could drink through it! Yay for science! Zork took a step forward to begin his journey up the tower before being instantly interrupted by the sound of a familiar buzzing. A small black dot crossed the path of his eyes, forcing his large yellow eyes to enter tracking mode. His eyes smoothly scraped around as it followed that black dot. His head started to follow the motion of this dot before he opened his mouth and let his elongated tongue grab a hold of the dot and return it into his mouth. With a bit of chewing, the frog nodded his head with a little smile. Seemed like he was quite satisfied with the flavor of the thing he consumed. Clearing his throat and with a single ribbit, Zork squatted and jumped up high up the side of the tower, eventually pressing his hands up to the wall, sticking to the surface of the tower. He planted his feet firmly against the tower and kicked himself up the tower again. 35 meters (114 feet) per leap, as if he wasn't effected by gravity. After a few jumps, Zork stopped to take a breather. He turned his eyes to look downward to see that where he was became microscopic in his eyes. This caused his eyes to open wide before gulping. His eyes turned back skyward before jumping once more, popping up above the clouds, having jumped a bit too high above the Sky Tower's platform. Zork began to panic for a moment before opening his mouth and using his tongue to stick to the top of the Sky Tower and quickly lunged himself forward until he went 'splat' upon the Tower's top. A pained 'Ribbit' could be heard before Zork scraped himself up and patted himself down. Now he waits. WC Total: 794 / 5850 |
