riverview: exploration


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.

Mission: Pride of Pestilence (submission)

[personal profile] redoublement 2017-04-10 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Cause: A pride of wild saber toothed, lion-like creatures have infiltrated the breach in the secondary perimeter fence, and have been feeding on farm animals and the occasional domestic pet. There is concern that these beasts could develop a taste for human flesh as well.

Objective: To contain the creatures, and either eliminate, or capture and rehabilitate the creatures to a safer locale. They may also prove useful in other regards, provided one has the skills necessary.

Dangers: These oversized cat-like hybrids are extremely powerful and fast. They also seem to possess slightly above average intelligence, and are wary and defensive over what they consider their 'territory.'

Requirements: A minimum of three Perimeter Guards or characters who are skilled fighters; one optional scientifically minded individual to observe and record this new species' habits; one optional character who is good with animals.

NOTE: Please forgive Dee's poor art skills. Females of this lion/hyena/bull hybrid do not possess manes, and instead have a mohawk, and larger fangs. They are the primary hunters in their pride, similar to regular lions. Females are also larger than males, though males are far more territorial and violent. Unlike lions, there are usually more than one male present.

Mission: Lost Children (submission)

[personal profile] bespredel 2017-05-16 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
Cause: A handful of children between the ages of six to seventeen have inexplicably gone missing into the jungle. Witnesses claim to have heard some sort of mournful tune accompanying these disappearances.

Objective: To locate the source of the music, as well as to discover where the lost children have been taken. And, if possible, recover them safely.

Dangers: There is a bird-like creature whose song hypnotizes and resonates with those younger than seventeen. Any below this age are subject to the animal's song. This creature is also extremely territorial to those immune to it's song, and will defend itself by any means available to it. Additionally, the jungle itself is often a danger.

Requirements: At least three members of Search and Rescue; at most, an additional one to two skilled volunteers familiar with first aid or self defense, able to carry supplies.

Mission: Butterfly Effect

[personal profile] spellslots 2017-06-11 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Cause: As per this post, the Temporal Chalice has come through the portal, but unfortunately it was a little too powerful and has gotten itself stuck. As a result, the PCs are suffering from timeline alterations that are probably kind of awkward.
Objective: Send the chalice back through the portal, this can be done with magic, science, or a combination of the two.
Dangers: Don’t actually touch the chalice that would be real bad; OOCly this isn't going to happen, but characters would be warned ICly
Requirements: Anyone with arcane or scientific knowledge
Notes: This can be undertaken by multiple teams, if there are a number of sign ups, the successful team will be chosen by RNG and notified! Taako is essentially a ‘resource’ in this plot, just let me know when you sign up if the team would want to talk with him about the chalice.

Mission: Don't Wake the Deity

[personal profile] hellicious 2017-06-17 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

Mission: Clear the Beach!

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-08-05 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Cause: Clear the Beach!
Objective: Adventurers to clear a path between civilization and the beach. It will take about a week, but the reward is having the beach all to yourself for a weekend before heading back and having the place crowded with seasonal tourists!
Dangers: Monsters, unsteady structures in need of repair
Requirements: Combatants, mainly... but a surveyor would be wise to bring along to enable the follow-on mission!


(note: I think this might be a good repeatable mission for people who want a beach episode now and again until this area becomes 'civilized')

Mission: Clear the Beach! Part Deux

[personal profile] leatherdaddy 2017-08-05 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Cause: The surveyor who tags along with the 'Clear the Beach!' scenario will put out a call for salvage and repair crews to promote commercial endeavors in the area for the tourist season.
Objective: Sweep the area of debris and foliage, salvage any useful material and repair common use areas as well as potential commercial zones for vendors and venue use.
Dangers: It's mostly safe, but accidents do happen! Wear your hardhats, folks! SAFETY FIRST!
Requirements: Surveyors, salvage, repair crews!

Mission: Keys to the Past

[personal profile] alchemyfreak 2017-09-13 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Part of the Memory Share Event from October 9th - October 23rd.

Cause: Eventually characters are going to realize that what was causing this glitch in the memory system is the mechanics in charge of canon-memory updates. The machinery goes haywire, the nanobots start infecting people/their devices, and instead of characters getting their canon updated memories they experience memories of others. During this period a canon update would not be possible, as the machine is down until a solution is put together and implemented.
Objective: Fix the glitch causing the nanobots to mess with the wrong memories
Dangers: The mechanism never gets fixed, making it impossible for characters to canon update ever again. Memory sharing could go on indefinitely and become a part of character's subconscious, permanently connecting them to those they've shared these visions with.
Requirements: Characters with the scientific or magical means to fix the glitch in the machinery. Once the glitch is resolved the nanobots will resume regular function as if nothing was ever amiss. Since no one knows what exactly caused it in the first place there is no way to tell what solution is best to approach with. (As in this can be fixed with tech or magic, depending on who is interested and signs up.)
