NPC QUESTS


QUESTS

Characters are currently exploring The Marsh. NPCs available for quests are The Ferryman, The Wraith, and The Witch.

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. 👻

Sorry for the delay! Here is your log.

As explained by The Ferryman, the request is thus:

  • — Sunny and Nagito must lay in The River and allow themselves to sink.

  • — While doing so, they must try to focus past any familiar sensations and pay attention to any unfamiliar ones. They are looking for gaps/static/anything that might suggest a memory might have been altered or incomplete.

  • — Either of them may tap out at any time, at which point The Ferryman will pull them both from The River.

  • — The Ferryman may also intervene themselves if they feel it necessary.

Nagito will experience the normal effects of The River as mentioned on the Desert's setting page, as well as an onslaught of visceral memories that do not belong to him. These are not episodic (like flashbacks) and do not contain any speech/visuals, but rather only physical sensations and emotions. They might be positive, negative, or neutral, but there are a lot of them. (Sorry, Nagito.) With that in mind, he will notice some inconsistencies if he's able to focus on them. However that presents is up to you (gaps, static, logical errors, etc).

With Nagito, The Ferryman is more likely to intervene earlier. Let us know if you think they would pull him from The River before he taps out himself.

If you have any questions or need any additional clarification, don't hesitate to let us know!

Nagito is very good (too good, some might say) at ignoring his own pain if he has a goal in mind; the Ferryman would be pulling him out before he taps out!
