● Cause: With the population of Quarantine increasing, all those thoughts and prayers and energies are reaching the temples previously built and abandoned on the moon. Something is beginning to stir and wake and is affecting some of the more sensitive beings in Quarantine. (The god/dess/deity in question is up for grabs. It could be something ported through someone else's canon. It could be something that's been there for eons and is waking up again. That part's not set in stone.) ● Objective: Desecration. The temple hosting the awakening deity has to be identified out of the host of abandoned ones and then burned/broken/destroyed so that the sleeping god/dess/deity never wakens or is actually killed. ● Dangers: The dangers of having to wade through the wilds and find the right temple. Temple Guards: There will be guards, traps, and security defenses of some type around the temple to protect the being in question. The longer the quest goes untaken after the more sensitive beings in the city notice it, the more the god will wake and the more likely it will affect more than those who are just sensitive. So the ultimate danger will be the god waking and coming to demand worship itself. ● Requirements: People willing to go out and destroy a temple and send the being back to sleep (or kill it if it fully awakens). Fighters/perimeter guards, possibly a doctor in case of injuries. Characters who might have experience fighting deities. The more sensitive someone is to divine powers, the more they'll be affected by this. ● Notes: Can easily be taken by more than one party. This mission would kick off with a feeling of unease, of being watched, and for those more sensitive, of dreams/nightmares beckoning them to worship (X DEITY). The mission could also go sideways by the being getting PC worshipers to defend it and let it wake, meaning there would be some random deity on the moon that might further intrude with the citizens of Quarantine.
