Player Requirements:

Job Requirements:
14,000 words
Job Location:
Lavanitir Port City
Job Description:
A man regarded as 'Crazy Itzah' has been prattling on about a mermaid he spotted on the high seas. Normally he's a great fisherman and crafter, his most common product is eel skin wallets that turn into handbags when you rub them. They call him crazy because he has dementia, and he keeps going on about that damn mermaid for the past year. He's extremely detailed in his explanation, and the landmarks where he found her are pretty far out at sea but they are in-fact real. It's a 100mile journey out there, but he swears on all the cash in his wallet that she's there and he wants your help to catch her.
Enemies:
Strong: Sea Monster
A 100 foot long serpentine beast from the depths. It's large enough to crush the ship in its' coils if you let it. The creature takes 10 hits of A Rank to take down, and can spray scalding hot water all over the deck.
Strong: Bigger Sea Monster
Assume this one is female considering as it's twice as big as normal Sea Monsters and is followed by 15 baby sea monsters. The babies are only 20 feet long, but they'll try to rip the ship apart one board at a time. Their mother with try to just rip the ship apart. She can use a lightning element breath attack like a dragon, consumes lightning element magic like dragons, and is immune to attacks that hit her face (it's armoured). Takes 20 hits of A Rank to down it, 3 hits of A Rank for the babies.
Strong: Cthulu
Because why not... A 300 foot tall monster with an octopus for a head, crab claws for hands, and a serious case of snaggletooth. He'll use any and every spell you can think of as though he'd existed for hundreds of years and knows all the spells in the world (he has, and he does). It takes 25 hits of A Rank to down him.
Boss: Mermaid
After fighting many a sea beast you come across the beautiful lady herself... and it's just a cactus with seaweed on it that's washed up on the rocks. Itzah then mentions he may or may not have been smoking cabbinis while he was out here last time... Either way, word will get to the shipmaster about your triple monster kill and he'll show some gratitude to you for taking them down.
Reward:
21k jewels
I've been out there and seen the things she's made
Mythal had been a fair number of jobs at this point, with several different people of both the same and different guilds. But this had to be one of the odder requests that he had gotten thus far. It seemed that a man by the name of Itzah had put out a notice, asking for help with locating a… mermaid. He claimed it was far out in the ocean, hidden on an island that she called her sanctuary. Now the idea of a mermaid wasn’t the most farfetched thing the God Slayer had heard of – considering all the crazy beasts that lived in the world, it was far from the craziest notion. But the man who had put in the request was… not all there, its seemed. The description seemed to bounce around from honest to Earthland details about what he had seen and then to defenses against other people calling his claims insane and marking him as ‘Crazy Itzah’. It seemed the locals weren’t exactly a fan of his insights.
That was only the first oddity. It had been some time since Fairy Tail had asked him to accompany another wizard on a job, mostly because he generally just grabbed a posting from the board and went on his way. But he wasn’t opposed to team ups like he had been in the past – in fact, he was a lot more social than he ever was before. Serilda had helped him ease into understanding the world by simply being his friend and Markus and Nessa had been reliable allies in jobs that… frankly he could consider them friends as well. Fairy Tail had provided a lot of opportunity to him in meeting new and unique individuals; wizards that had control of all sorts of elements.
So when he was asked to join not only one of the other wizards but an actual Ace of the guild, he was amiable to the idea. He knew his current mentor, Nessa, was an Ace of Fairy Tail along with Arcadia, the girl that had introduced him and invited him to the guild in the first place. He’d actually asked around a bit to get the names of the other aces and thus far, had only missed out on the opportunity to meet Rina Everglades and Mura Kensho. It seemed like he was going to get the chance to meet the former.
It was midmorning when Mythal arrived in Lavanitir, his lacrimacycle slowing to a complete halt near the dock parking. He knocked the kickstand into place and stepped up and over the seat as he stood next to the bike. He pulled free the helmet and glanced around the immediate area, searching for a sign of the woman he was meant to meet. He didn’t see her standing in the parking lot and he shrugged, placing the helmet on the handle of the bike. Chances were she had moved on to the docks to meet up with… Crazy Itzah. He locked the lacrimacycle up and began the trek over, crossing between the metal gates and the sign that declared the area he was entering. The port was busy with boats and people, far more crowded than most other harbors he had been to. Then again, Lavanitir wasn’t just a sea-bound city – most of its imports and exports came from ships from other countries. Despite all of that, it didn’t believe in honoring the titles and ranks of wizards, subscribing to the idea that the law was the end-all, be-all.
Mythal had never happened upon the city before, a fact he was quite glad about. Before he had joined Fairy Tail, he had a bad tendency to get in trouble by loitering and boozy mischief. In a place like this, such actions would have warranted a rather hefty beating and jail time to boot. Thinking of it, he was surprised that Itzah had managed to avoid being locked up thus far; crazy rantings had a way of swaying a public the wrong way. And the local policing force would surely want to keep him away from the eye of possible traders and such. With that thought, his step picked up a bit – he didn’t want his trip here to be for nothing.
