exploration

Exploration is an important part of the culture of Riverview Quarantine. With a population mostly comprised of pioneers and people seeking a new lease on life, there is definitely a big interest in branching out and rediscovering lost parts of the city or scouting out new places to expand to. Anyone is welcome to explore at any time, and to request a member of the Perimeter Guard to accompany them on the exploratory mission if they do not have a capable fighter on the team to protect the explorers.

At any given time, there will be several things going on either in the abandoned part of the city or outside the city walls that require investigation. Current missions can be found in the comments below.

how to claim and complete a mission

● Each mission has a cause, an objective, and may have requirements for how many characters and what skillsets are needed to complete the task.

● Once you have chosen a mission you would like your character to complete, leave a comment on the mission to let the mod and other players know that the mission is in progress.

● Arrange your team, plan the mission, and thread it out.

● Once you have threaded at least to the point of reaching the objective, link the thread and give a quick summary of the mission outcome in a second comment and the mod will consider the mission complete. Each completed mission will be replaced with a new active mission.

● Each mission has many possible outcomes. Which outcome happens is completely up to the players involved. The only real limit is if you would like a mission to have a catastrophic outcome that would drastically affect the functioning of the game, in which case, please contact the mod first.

● All participants in the mission will receive the applicable Activity Point bonuses for the mission once they have submitted it to the Activity Bonus Rewards page.

mission creation

Players are more than welcome to suggest or outline a mission of their own creation, for their own use or for others. Just fill out the info in the text box, post it in a reply to this entry and the mod will approve it or, if necessary, tweak it a little. Once approved, all of the above points can be followed as usual.

● Cause: There's been hot debate among animal experts in the city regarding some new 'monsters' that have shown up in various areas outside the city walls. While some experts think the creatures might hide some hidden danger, others think they might make excellent steeds! No one knows for sure.

● Objective: To track down one or more of these creatures and spend some time with it, figure out if it is trainable as a pet or steed, and bring news (and just maybe a new friend?) back to the city. The type of creature is entirely up to whoever accepts the mission.

● Dangers: Due to the nature of taming and training an animal, the party may need to spend a decent amount of time outside city walls, which means dealing with living in the wild with all its associated dangers for some time.

● Requirements: One or more characters who are good with animals, have training with them, or have animal-related abilities; one or more members of the Perimeter Guard or characters who are skilled fighters for protection. Optionally, characters to help carry supplies or drive vehicles.

I'm... going to reserve this as well, and Gladio will advertise it heavily as a seminar for his survival training. With the incentive of doing this mission. Let me know if this is okay! I don't want to be greedy!

As long as you're not reserving them without following through, it should be fine. I can create more missions so no one is left out.

HUZZAH! Thank you, mod-chan ♥

Hi there! I was wondering if I could suggest a monster species for this mission? I dug around pinterest and thought this one looked pretty cool. Let me know what you think!

For this mission I opted for Chocobos as the tamable animal, with a Behemoth for fighting or running from... we'll see how it goes XD

THIS LOOKS COOL THOUGH. This is such a menacing looking beast!

Got it! Hope it's fun c:

William (and I'm assuming his brother Ben as well; Dani is sleeping) would be interested! Very. The twins draw in animals and make their behavior mild, and in addition to Will's curiosity, he'd be in for getting a pet. Pontentially. Ben is working as a perimeter guard while Will has been in the animal shelter.

And Bryn's a surveyor so she can help lead them around and back to town safely.

my question is, has she thought about what she's gonna call it

OMG I suck I forgot Bryn said she wanted to name whatever he tamed.

She'll have to figure this shit out. It depends so much on what they find...

Which we should decide upon at some point.

Following a quick discussion on the mod plurk regarding interest in this particular mission, I am making it available for several teams to cover more ground.

Please be sure to plan between teams so the animal and outcome are the same across all teams.

Just to be clear: Regardless of the number of teams, this mission only pertains to one species of 'monster' to be potentially domesticated, correct?

I was thinking that originally, but after giving it some second thought, it could go either way.

Let's say you can collude with other teams or make up your own. Either option is acceptable.

HOORAY! That's exactly the answer I was hoping for - thank you, mod!

In that case, I'd like to reserve this as well! Sieglinde of Catarina, Steve Rogers (616), 2B, and Morgan Knight are gonna be taming some weird animals. They're all fighters and most have experience dealing with animals (mostly horses).

hhhhhi I was wondering if I could suggest a monster species for this mission? I dug around pinterest and thought this one looked pretty cool. Let me know what you think!

Hello! The following characters are on this mission (one of which is an animal tamer*, another is a monster tracker/hunter**, and another still is an actual monster***... for whatever good that does) - the party consists of the following: Gladio**, Sans***, Suigetsu*, Eichi, Sasuke, McCree.

What are the monsters they will face and are able to be tamed? :D

That is completely up to you! As long as it isn't game-breaking, you are free to make up whatever you'd like to play with.

Most of the mission log was social but we got there eventually! The mission has reached a level of completion where the rest can be handwaved. The party split up when they encountered a monster that had been hunting the animals targeted for domestication. After defeating it, it was just a matter of rounding up Chocobos and bringing them back to the Inhabited City.

Those involved were Suigetsu (dropped recently), Sasuke, Sans, Eichi, and Gladiolus.

I can't believe I missed replying to this. Mission marked as COMPLETE!

I will be using this outcome as part of a prompt in this month's TDM.
