NPC QUESTS
QUESTS are tasks offered by NPCs that characters can work together to complete in order to earn special rewards. The NPCs offering quests will change from setting to setting, and each NPC will typically offer different rewards for completing their quests.
OOCly, quests are lower-impact ways players can interact with the setting and the metaplot between major game events.
To claim a quest, simply comment to the corresponding thread to let us know which characters will be participating. You should have a minimum of two players participating to claim a quest. Depending on the quest, we may have additional info for you to help you get set up, but then you're free to thread! Once the quest is complete, return here with a link to your thread, and we'll give you a rundown of the rewards.
There are no penalties for backing out of a quest after it's been claimed. If you find you aren't able to complete a quest, or simply don't want to anymore, just let us know so that we can open it back up to be claimed by someone else!
Quests refresh after each Crossing (roughly every 3 months)*, so don't be afraid to give them a try! Each character may only be an active participant in one quest at a time.
* Even if not all quests for a given setting are completed, lore details and special items will never be "lost", so don't worry too much about missing out either. Lore always finds a way. 👻

The Oasis is close enough to the base of the cliffs that there are some nooks and crannies to explore: rocky formations hide shallow inlets that shoot off from the main water source, and there are a few shaded, narrow shortcuts out to the dunes.
There isn't much else interesting to find there... unless you follow a certain path a certain way, and end up at a small, shallow pool. It's separated from the Oasis itself, tucked away in a pocket of grass surrounded on all sides by stone, and its edges are ringed in vibrant orange marigolds.
Hmm... Is it whispering to you?
This quest was unlocked from the completion of Bring the Light.
This quest is recommended for 2-3 characters.

Hello! Can you hear me? Hello! Is someone there? Hello! Hello! Hello!
If one were to make themselves known to this voice, intentionally or otherwise, it will make a request:
I can help you if you help me! A favor for a favor? Just scatter my flowers at the Oasis, and I can help you find something you've lost.
Let us know what is done with the flowers, if anything, and if there would be any follow-up questions for the voice in the water.

"Hey... that's cool, buddy. Is that all you want? We can toss them around for sure. Who.. are you, though? Name's Kel, here. And I got you."
He's turning around, reaching for some of the flowers. Marigolds. Tagetes. "You know, at least in my world... those flowers are from the part of the world I came from. We'll make sure they get all around- After all, the place deserves to look a bit cuter."

ooc: Kel and Mari are trying to spread the flowers as much as possible and trying to get others involved too by making them wear the flowers too, if possible.

Hello? I-I can.
[She hadn't been able to discern the voices from the whispering pools in the Cavern, but here it was clear as day.]
Something I've lost?
[Maybe related to a memory? She didn't see any harm in scattering petals in the Oasis... if anything this might be a way to find some answers.]
I don't mind, as long as it will help you. Were you... did you come before us? Do you have a name?
[She carefully picked up some of the orange Marigolds, planning on taking them back and scattering them in the Oasis from one of the building windows. It almost seemed like some sort of funeral rite.]
