Job Location:
Tetsukazu
Job Description:
Being home to a number of animals Tetsukazu has a poacher problem. Or rather an animal smuggling problem. Many of these magical creatures are being placed on the black market and sold to poor masters for terrible causes. Animal rights activists have scrounged up enough money to try and hire some mages to put an end to the illegal activities once and for all. Not to mention all rescued animals will be released back to their home, adopted by loving families, and naturally the animals saviors get their choice of the litter. (Provided that it's not an illegal/highly dangerous animal)
Enemies:
Weak:
Shizenmesu x 4
A small herd of lively, deer-like creatures who act as footmen protectors of the forests of Tetsukazu! They are extremely fast, moving a bit faster than A rank speeds, and can use Nature Magic, controlling and conjuring vines, leaves, and more to use as weapons. They are able to heal each other and themselves. They take 4 A rank hits (320 HP) to take down, each. The best thing to do is try to escape or restrain them, and eventually prove that you are there to help.
Normal:
Poachers/Smugglers x 5
These are the most skilled animal hunters and trappers in the land! Their work is cruel and dirty, and they are notorious for having killed many innocent creatures. They often use magic of varying elements, and it is up to you how they fight. They deal A rank damage, and take 5 A rank hits to take down altogether (400 HP).
Strong:
Shizenookami x 10
This pack of wolves is also angry of the capture of their kin, and is ready to take down any alien that dares come near! They deal A rank damage with their incredibly strong bites and wicked claws, as well as incredible speed! Each one takes 3 A rank hits to take down (240 HP). Another hit will kill them. In actuality, they are being controlled by the poachers- sparing is the best option.
Boss Poachers/Smugglers x 5
These people have leaders, you know! If you roll a strong and wish to take on people, rather than animals, these criminals can be fought. But beware! They deal S rank damage in a single hit, and take 8 A rank hits to take down per enemy (560 HP)!
Boss:
Pied Piper
The leader of all of the smuggling! The pied piper is skilled in all manners of hunting and is an expert marksman/trapper. She wields a deadly crossbrow but her true strength lies in her piper magic. This magic allows her to control nearby animals in the vicinity. The hits needed to take down the animals can vary, but it takes 20 A rank hits (1600 HP) to take down Pied Piper, who deals S rank damage herself, and is lightning-fast.
Reward:
30k Jewels. A noncombat pet for each participant who chooses!
Standing before the large portal Mao gave a small sigh. Rather than tiredness or anything it was one of pity and sadness. Animals ripped from their homes all for the sake of promoting status and acting like trophies. She could understand if they were being used for perhaps food (as long as they didn’t suffer needlessly, even predators didn’t purposefully elongate the deaths of their prey), but these ones were being used for sport and other illicit purposes. Things that left the creatures suffering until the bitter end and undoubtedly confused. It…well…it reminded Mao of her people in fact.
A soft nudge at her back still sent the girl stumbling a bit, the ever imposing Nocshanks not far from her presence when requested. She smiled at the beast as she readjusted her hood – holes for her long ears keeping it more or less in place - though the smile lacked happiness. His kind suffered a very similar fate currently, one she hoped to someday rectify even if she remained at a bit of a loss as to how. She didn’t share her story with the guild mates though, leaving that knowledge purely to Aiyana amongst them. More than anything Mao didn’t want it to twist their vision of her, more ashamed of it than anything regardless of her lack of control over it.
Not once had Nocshanks ever blamed her though, somehow the beast realizing her position hadn’t been much different to the enslavement of his kind as beasts of burden, warriors, and quite often: mounts. Through loopholes thanks only to the one sibling that cared for Mao had she been permitted to keep the large and burly horned canine, the creature possibly sporting a bit of drake in his lineage. The race itself had been classified as chimeras given their wide range and yet similar genetic coding, leaving her advanced people baffled at them.
However presented with the ability to at least save some creatures Mao jumped on it alongside her faithful companion. She’d been a bit nervous how he might react about it, but he’d been game, no doubt viewing this in sort as “practice” for when he could someday help his kind back to their homestead. Nervous at the idea of going about this venture alone the people assured her others mentioned interest in helping for one reason or another, going so far as to mention Black Rose and Infinity Hydra. With one headed by an ex-guild mate and the other on friendly terms with Pharaoh’s Call Mao found her worries dissolving rather quickly. ’I wonder what they’re like,’ she pondered near the Wakusei Portal, intent on not missing either person, though they’d more likely notice Nocshanks before her.
It seemed as if nothing could go wrong! The trio would slice through these smugglers with their teamwork and save the animals! At least that’s how it played in Mao’s imagination, tail twitching a bit in excitement and ears alert.
