Quest Name:
Shadow of Panéu
 

X requirement to recieve the quest. To be figured out in the future.

Quest Objective: 
Investigate the immature nightfall around Panéu's house.
 

House will be surrounded by a sort of fog, causing local darkness to be shown on the screen. Pretty cool huh?

Quest Introduction:

Panéu is an old man who has lived around these parts for a long time. The elders around the village tells that he moved here after his wife died, although they never figured out where he moved from, they were sure that it was far away, considering the condition of his clothing and the lack of food when he arrived.

The residents who used to live as his neighbours have reported irregular darkness surrounding the nearby area of his house after he passed away a few months back, there has already been cases of people moving away simply due to fear of the dark. Oddly enough, it only happens shortly before sunset, almost as if the night falls earlier around there than it does for the rest of the world.

I need you to observe the house when this phenomenon occurs and report back to me with a detailed report of when it starts, when it ends and anything else you can make out of the occurence.

Set out!

 

Quest mid-stage: 
More people are complaining and preparing to move out of their houses.
If you have no news you better head back and get the job done!

 

Quest Complete text: 
People will complete this objective by finding papers leading up to the house, either in an alleyway, a track behind the house or something alike. Will only be available between 4-12pm.

These documents seems to have been dropped not so far away from Panéu's house, from the looks of it, it would appear that someone was in a rush away from the house... or in a rush to get into it.

Mysterious Notes

Associated with: Shadow of Panéu

Quest Objective: 

Find someone to explain the scribbles and drawings that you found.

 

Quest Introduction:

Examining the papers, you can see that they have weird symbols, blood lines and unreadable scribbles - as if an insane man was noting down things in a haste to avoid it falling into the abyss of his own mind.

You decide to collect the stack of notes. Someone must know more before you report back of your findings, no one can use random drawings, for all you know a child could be playing a bad prank on you thinking they could do summoning jutsus or something.

 

Quest mid-stage: 
 

-Non available-

 

Quest Complete text: 

Finding someone inside a library or research lab, idk what. Talk to the person.

What is this mess? Just making up symbols and write stuff doesn't count as research!
This is utter...

Where did you get these?

Report back quickly, time is of essence!

-Timer- test the travelling distance and force the player with lack of time to immediately deal with the quest.

Quest Introduction:

What you have found here is not something ANYONE should dwell into, whatever or whoever is doing this has to stop and it can only happen too slow!

If I was you, I would deal with it as quickly as possible, here, a note with a brief explanation.

I pray it is still in its early stages.

I can't help you anymore!

Finally, I've been waiting for you. We have managed to calm down the residents for tonight, you better have something or we might just need to rehouse the entire area!

Entering and Breaking

Associated with: Shadow of Panéu, Mysterious Notes & Decoded Notes

Quest Objective: 

Find a way inside Panéu's house and investigate whatever is left inside.

 

Quest Introduction:

<Player Name>, this is not something we can allow to happen! According to this, someone is conducting experiements on the local wild life. There have been cases of large populations of animals disappearing, causing the hunters to have a bad time and the hunt they do find is more than often sickly and unedible, my guess is that these cases are connected.

This man or woman is trying to modify these animals, altering the way of nature - it is doomed to fail and when it does, it is bound to cause havoc within the city.

You are allowed to bring anyone you deem necessary, although you cannot go alone, you shouldn't take just anyone with you. If this is widespread we are going to have a panic occuring. Find someone else who has observed the shadow or assisted in the animal case.

Time is of essence!

 

Quest mid-stage: 
Have you dealt with it yet?

 

Quest Complete text: 

Players will find another note.

You find an odd and, compared to the rest of the furniture and items, not so dusty note.

Quest Complete text: 

The players will stumble upon a carcass which appears to be the remains of a bloody feast, completing the quest and giving the last quest.

The hunters has reported missing and sick animals in the local wildlife, since it is not limited to just one race, we are rather concerned.

Could you head into the forest and bring back any sick animal you find?

Thank you.

 

Quest mid-stage: 
Have you found any yet?

I'm afraid they won't survive long without our help.

 

Quest Complete text: 

The Questgiver is some animal person. Same person who gave the quest.

Oh no! This is far more serious than we originally thought.

I'm not sure why this has happened, but it is definitely not something natural!

Quest mid-stage: 
Have you inquired about the animals with Kito yet?

Ghosts, Monsters and Disease

Associated with: The Young and the Sick & The Old and Wise

Quest Objective: 

Return to (the animal doctor something person) and tell her/him what you have found out.

 

Quest Introduction:

As you might know, the animals in the area have disappeared. It started to slowly take place a few days back and it really is concerning. If this continues we need to extend our range and hunting will become more tiring and difficult.

Even if the population stayed, the sickness in the animals makes the meat unedible, causes them to become fragile and super aggressive. Some of their legs and necks are even showing an increase in size, like they have too much water stuck up or something, they look like deformed monsters and act the part too!

It just suddenly happened and nothing else but that ghost that showed up has been out of the ordinary.

Ahh, don't worry about the ghost, we already camped out at night and searched the forest in the time frame the other hunters said they saw it and we found nothing.
They are just overreacting because of that old man who died a few weeks back.

 

Quest mid-stage: 
I know nothing else, if you will excuse me, I need to figure out how to deal with the shortage of prey.

 

Quest Complete text: 

Return to the animal doctor.

Damn it, we already know all this from their report and from looking at the animals!
What is this about a ghost? Ghosts can't make animals sick or disappear!

I'm sorry, <Player Name>, I don't know what else to do.

Take this for your troubles, I will report your assistance in this.
Let us hope we can find the cause of this soon enough.

 

Unlocks the quest;

Perfect. This is the ideal balance of the quests. Nothing too advanced has happened and the ultimate effect of the mission(s) don’t have to mean anything at all. I don’t have to take special note of this in the lore. It’s my definition of a perfect quest chain.
