Event - Trouble in Central America!, New Missions, and Deathscythe SOS

Salutations, Soul Campaign! Here's your monthly modpost with what we've got cooked up!


Game-wide Mission!

A while back, a few of the Guest Agents signed up to investigate some strange things that were happening in Central America. They came back with some fragments of metal that, after thorough testing, were found to have traces of Black Blood! Coupled with an intact container that investigators found and brought in for examination, it has been concluded that the fragments came from a container that held a Black Blood compound to poison the water supplies and, in turn, crops and wildlife. The Witches are on the move again.

Those who had been in Death City when the water supply was tainted with Black Blood probably haven't forgotten the chaos it caused and those who hadn't experienced that will get the chance to see it soon enough. Hopefully you've all been training in resisting Madness!

Shibusen has received distress calls from San José in Costa Rica and Tegucigalpa in Honduras, with requests to help evacuate the people of those cities. Madness levels have gone through the roofs and is showing no signs of dying down, rendering the cities uninhabitable. To add to the problem (because we all know when it rains, it pours) the high amounts of Madness have driven many citizens to insanity in both areas; those who consumed the souls of their victims have become Kishin Eggs and are hunting for their next meal...

The mission to San José and Tegucigalpa will take place on May 29th in game, which will fall on this coming Friday the 17th, and mission sign-ups are now available on the Mission Board. Completion of the mission will reward 5 Kishin Egg souls and 5 Meister Points to all pairs who participate. There will also be an announcement from Shibusen soon, so keep your eyes out for that!


New Missions, Deathscythe SOS

The Mission Board has a batch of brand new tasks fresh from the... oven...? You'll find them right here! Take a look at them, and feel free to sign up for whatever adventure tickles your fancy!

Also, a new little feature has been added to the Mission System! Typically, when a pair signs up for a mission, a 20-sided die is rolled. After Meister and Weapon modifiers, a 15 or higher means the mission is a success. But what if the roll comes close, like a 13 or a 14?

That's where Deathscythe SOS comes in! Cloud and Sephiroth, the very first Guest Three-Star Meister and Deathscythe pair, are always on the hunt for malevolent Witches and Kishin Eggs around the world. On any mission dice roll that comes very close to success, agents are given a 50/50 chance that help happens to be in the area, and are asked if they'd like to call an SOS on their communicators. Should they accept, Cloud and Sephiroth will be alerted and will swoop in to turn the tide of battle, changing a near-miss to an automatic success.

This is optional, of course, if for CR reasons or otherwise you would prefer to take the mission failure.


SO TO SUMMARIZE...!

-Mission to two cities in Central America, awarding 5 Kishin Eggs/5 Meister Points! Sign-up is right here, and an IC announcement will be up soon!
-New Missions!
-Cloud and Sephiroth don't mind helping you whup some demon butt if you're in a little pinch!


Feel free to use this post to ask questions and plot amongst yourselves! Have a good one!

Auron will be around. He is an unpartnered Meister with the ability of Soul Armor if any Weapons want to team up.

Alucard will be with Raidou but available for shenanigans.

Zero will be with Chika but also available for kicking ass together.

If Auron stops drinking they could pair up and join Mello and Near, unless you have any problem with it.

That could work!

Cool, thank you very much!

So should I sign Zaki up with Auron for the mission?
anpan_tan: (Innocent)

[personal profile] anpan_tan 2013-05-17 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Er, yes, please, do so!

Mello and Near has another pair to go with them, so Auron and Zaki will be alone.

It seems Auron's got enough weapons to last him through the South America mission, unless you're interested in Dualscar tagging along? He'd be good at providing cover for others if he's not resonating with anyone. 8) It's not necessary, though. So don't worry about that.

Otherwise, were you interested in getting Dual and Auron into a log to see how well they'd resonate in the near future?

Dualscar is welcome to tag along. Even though Auron would have likely been trained in using guns, he has long since eschewed that practice. Guns do not come easily to him but maybe magic guns would work better.

They can certainly attempt resonance and Dual is free to pester Auron in the training log.

Ah, that's the catch. .w.;;;

Eridan is the gun. Dualscar is essentially a mace/chakram. At the very least, he can take comfort in having an extra container for liqueur. And that he can beat people with one of his liqueur containers. 8)

But if you don't want to, then that's fine. I'll definitely want to hit Auron up in the training log though! I'll be getting to that tonight!~

I don't know what this means, but Auron just CACKLED. I believe he might work out very well with the old man. The idea of beating a kishin egg to death with something that could hold liquor just makes him happy.;

I'm going to laugh if these two end up being old bros. I was going to hit auron up in the training thread, but I wasn't quite sure what to say or do. I can just have dualscar notice,he stays near the watch area and ask if he's a member? They could strike up a short conversation over that. 8) Dual seems to gravitate to the more mature residents as it is.
nofarplaneyet: (heh)

[personal profile] nofarplaneyet 2013-05-17 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That works for me!

Alright! <3 I'm on my phone at work now, but I'll be off in a few hours and I can throw Dualscar right at him!~
