Job Description:

You (and your partners) have personally gotten the offer by the guild for a contract presented to Onyx Moon by one of its contacts, set up by a native group calling themselves the "Full-Moon Watchers", requesting a mercenary to help with taking out an outpost of a rival group they call the "Bright-Sun Sentinels", which they allege are bandits occupying their land in the deep, unexplored hinterland jungles of Tolgalen. Naturally you follow this contract to learn more about the largely unexplored jungles of Tolgalen and their inhabitants, their culture, their magic and their connection to the land. They promise handsome pay should you aid them in their endeavour, the contract saying to meet them at a certain location within the jungles, probably a good few days of travel away from the West Fiore Trading Company’s HQ for those without teleportation.

Upon arrival at the location you essentially have 3 options:

Meet up with the “Full-Moon Watchers” and help them destroy the outpost and kill everyone within to fulfil the contract, should you accept it, and get your reward from the Watchers, a large ingot of pure gold. The outpost is practically a small village hidden in the treetops of the enormous jungle trees, self sustaining and built into the gargantuan plantlife, huge platforms connected with large suspension bridges (Of course the village includes not just fighters, but ordinary folk as well).

Upon inquiring with either of the groups you find out that this tribal conflict between the two native factions has been raging for generations, starting with one of the Bright-Suns settlements being established on Full-Moon land, and instead of taking a diplomatic route the Watchers responded with violence, the situation spiraling out of control thereafter. You can try and solve this conflict peacefully, probably the least violent, but also most difficult option.

You can also, upon hearing the conditions of your contract, turn on your clients to instead eliminate them, taking your reward from their bodies after you dealt with them (and possibly inform their rivals about their actions, because let’s face it: the contract and the people who set it up are pretty suspicious).

Depending on which group you choose to fight, if you fight at all, you will face different enemies.
