Job Location:
Divide Island
Job Description:
An island surrounded by mystery and rumor.
Scientists only being able to inspect certain places, but never the middle...
Strange sounds from underwater scans...
The presence of extremely high magic power being felt...
Divide Island is the focus of this mission. A group of scientists are hiring you to go in and find the source of this magic power they're sensing, and retrieve it for them. They require than only wizards go on this task, noting that a single mediocre conjurer of cheap tricks would not suffice.
Upon arriving to the area, there is 1 single path that you can take. Upon trying to fly, you're immediately shot down to the ground regardless of how high in rank you are. Trying to tunnel through the earth, or take any other option besides this path results in failure as well. This path will take you along the outer edge of the island before coming to a point where you can go through a very narrow path, into a lush green area in the middle. The bosses can be summed at any point in the job, and do no need to be rolled. Any "Boss" roll from the dice can either summon the boss, or be converted into 2x Strong Rank, 4x Normal Rank, or 8x Weak Rank enemies.
Along this path, the mages will face several automated creations that seem to be older than magic itself, but at the same time, appears that these creations aren't that far from the golems, and magic sentries of this age. A true testament to how advanced the civilization was, or how out dated modern magic was.
Weak: Totem Head x10
A single stone structure that appears to be a piece of a totem pole. It is able to fire unlimited shots of magic at you that is non-elemental. These deal B Rank melee damage. It can also explode if it gets close, which deals B Rank magic damage to all withing 10 meters. Luckily, they all go down in a single hit of any rank due to being so old that their power has decayed considerably.
Normal: Mechanical Birds x30
A flurry of stone birds, perfectly detailed to look almost real. They fly stupid fast, and attack in rapid succession. It takes either 30 attacks of any rank to beat them all, or 1 B Rank or Higher AoE. The birds normally flock and attack 1 person (the highest rank) so it's not that hard to blast em.
Strong: Tiger Automation
A 4 foot tall, 9 foot long, 2 foot wide tiger made of stone. It seems to be just as vicious as other tigers, and will require quite a bit of hassle to defeat. ((no specification on HP for it as the player will be given freedom of RP to make the fight fun.))
Boss 1: Black Tortoise
On the North side of the island is a single Black Tortoise that seems to be unafraid of you entirely. It approaches you, asking your business, and demands you fight it before you're allowed to continue. It attacks with Earth magic that cannot be consumed by any kind of slayer. The tortoise is also able to summon earth golems to fight for it, as well as earth spikes if players get too close.
Boss 2: White Tiger
On the west side of the island is a single 10 foot tall, 20 foot long, and 4 foot wide massive White Tiger. Much like the Tortoise, it will speak with you before having you fight it. The tiger uses Metal based attacks, and is extremely fast. It's metal magic cannot be consumed by any kind of slayer.
Boss 3: Phoenix
On the South side is a large, 20 foot long phoenix with a 40 foot wingspan. As with all the bosses, it will speak with you before entering a battle. The bird attacks with Fire magic that can't be consumed by players, and when defeated will erupt into flames, and rise from its own ashes. Instead of making you fight it again, the bird will simply let you pass as you've been kind enough to give it a very good fight.
Boss 4: Soul Dragon
On the east side is a large clearing with a pristine lake that stretches for an incredible distance. A large dragon rests on a small island in the middle of it and upon you noticing it, will walk through the lake and speak to you. It speaks in proverbs, giving you cryptic messages instead of straight answers. The dragon said it will provide you a single piece of somewhat powerful weaponry, in exchange for your secrecy but only if you can win a fight with him. The dragon uses soul magic, and is able to summon anything you can imagine and then some. It can also breathe fire, and attack with its claws, tail, and teeth. The fire can only be consumed by Soul Slayers, and deals melee damage.
Upon defeating the dragon, you'll be given one of the most powerful weapon in existence. As soon as you get back to the scientists who took you here, your memory of the island and all in it will be wiped by a mysterious force.
Reward:
Aside from Normal job XP
1x Legendary Weapon
GRACE UNDER FIRE
Science was a term that Sorano wasn’t sure she quite agreed with. It was a rather general term, one that sounded nice and fancy, but honestly wasn’t equal to its meaning. As a letter mage, she had in fact studied this word over quite a bit before discarding it, for a spell named “science” did have an interesting appeal to it, did it not? However, looking over what it really implied, and all the flaws and mistakes that had been formed with the invention of these ordered letters, the child knew that it could never be a good spell for anyone. Such a general term… And such a lie.
Science, to her, was a lie. There was no such thing in the world that could set laws for things, categories for things. There were no such things of which matched each other, nothing that had been fully discovered. If something even close to the lines that science drew existed, it would take year upon year to discover the meaning, by then when most would have given up on the topic itself besides some crazy old men determined as heck to prove everyone wrong. Yet another waster of time in the world. And here she was, going to work for these time-wasters. The letter mage had never really pegged herself as a time-waster, but who knew? This ended up happening. It was a very well-paying job she had picked up at the hall, and she was looking for some time off from work to re-organize the guild after Kanix’s disappearance. With all the jewel this one gave, it should be plenty easy for her to take a bit of a vacation.
Yet, it was pretty boring to grind her way through a job by herself, and it took both herself and Hoshi quite a bit of time when they worked by themselves, so why not grab someone from the guild? The dark eyes lifted from her paper, skimming the room. Although this was the same seat she had sat in so many times in the past, it felt oddly different, looking at all these people with what felt like the eyes of a complete stranger. It had simply been a change of title… She was the same old Sorano. She was still 5’2” (and doubted she would get taller), and wore the same clothing as always. So why did this feel so weird?
Holding her hand out at arm’s length before her eyes, she stared at the hall through open fingers. “Oh! Why not invite Corliss along?” Hoshi’s voice burst out from behind her, and the letter mage looked back to see the exceed pointing over at a woman with long, flowing white hair. “Huh, I guess, though it’s been ages since I’ve seen her.” Standing, the guild master awkwardly made her way through the crowd of tables to her teammate. “Hey, Corliss, what do you think about doing this job with us?” Palming over the job, Sorano would await her response in silence. Corliss… Probably the member of the Flame of the Phoenix she knew the least well. Gamon, the same man who had invited herself into the team had brought Corliss in as his girlfriend, and she was readily welcomed by everyone else so far. Perhaps she should make a warmer welcome too, but honestly, it felt like it would be too awkward to be doing it at this stage. After all, this was someone who had already been in the guild quite a bit!
It seemed that her life wasn’t as straightforward as she had assumed earlier then, didn’t it? Why was it getting so much harder to recollect herself?
