Hello everyone!
I am creating a new style of Adventure thread, one with a real life time limit on it. Tenday - a standard unit of time in Faerun that signals the passing of 10 days, a week and a half. The goal of each Tenday Quest will be to go out and collect X number of Y things. This could be monster parts, ingredients, crafting supplies - anything that Susie, the teenagewitch wizard needs for her budding dreams of owning her own magical item shop. She wants to be a crafter when she grows up, you see, and you can't get good at crafting if you don't have materials to do so.
But for now? She's stuck, running the counter of her mom's shop.
Booorrrriiiiinnnngggg
And since she has a curfew of two hours before dusk, plus the 9-5 job of sharing shop running duties, she can't get out and about on her own. She needs your help!
Each Tenday she has a new list of items she needs, held up by a little sign on the counter inside her Mom's shop: Little Shop of Wonders. It has her dream store's name on it, Susie's Shop of Witchcraft and Wizardry, her personal arcane symbol underneath it, and what she needs in between.
This list changes each tenday. Anyone can see the list, at any time during this tenday time, and go off to journey for it.
How this is gonna work: There will be three levels of difficulty to Susie's list
Social Adventure: This is aiming to help inspire social threads for people. The ingredients here are super easy and mundane, ranging from a scavenger hunt or foraging style event. There is no DM for this, and therefore no adventure thread that needs a DM. The rewards end up being either the EXP or Gold obtained by the usual social methods, word count. The length it takes and the intensity is solely up to you and whoever you are RPing with in a social scene. The point here is to inspire more purposes and reasons for social threads that have a start and ending goal.
Minor DM Adventure: This level, usually set to be considered a 'challenge' will need DM input, as rolls will be required. These might include harvested creature materials that are on par or slightly above the challenge level for a PC party. Like boar tusks, magical snake venom, etc. etc. The hope is, someone might see the ingredient(s) and want to also run a DM adventure inspired by it! I will be offering a few minor DM adventures as created by the random rolls of ingredients.
Major DM Adventure: This is high level difficult stuff. There might even be weeks where the rolled encounter is too high a level, and no one gets it or can hope to succeed. Like dragon fangs. Again, if someone is inspired to DM based around this tier of item, do so!! I, Arikarka, will only be absolutely in charge of updating the hunting list. I plan on hosting a few minor and major adventures too, of course, but hope others are inspired. I want my babies to go on adventures too XD
What's the catch?
You only have a legit 10 day IN REAL LIFE time period to start and complete these items. Yes, yes, there can always be incomplete threads turned in, or continuing afterwards and you can get word count rewards... I'm not fighting the actual rules here <3. But the intent is to have rapid-fire weekly+ inspiration to keep everyone fresh and earning experience and writing stories.
I will be DM NPCing Susie, who can be included in any level of request - just let me know when you'd like her to pop up. I'm very active Mon-Fri, and usually quite quick to respond during the day. IC, if your character starts accepting the quest, but never turning in the items when they're due? Susie is gonna start getting upset, and even mad at you - therefore refusing to let you gather her items. Don't make Susie mad. Please. ((Or please do, it'll be fun XD))
This isn't a signup page, but an announcement of what I want to do for everyone here. The actual thread will be an ongoing update list by just myself writing Susie excerpts and presenting the next tenday of challenges. Any thread that happens to branch from it will be created new each time, letting the official update list populate on its own - if that makes sense. Feel free to ask any questions, or whatnot, in this thread here. I hope people like the idea - I stole it from Ossular but put a spin on it. #Spoiler: He may or may not be planning to eventually have a monthly-ish creature bounty hunt.... but you didn't hear it from me!!
I will be posting up the first Susie request at some point soon, no more than 24 hours.
