MISSION PROMPT APPLICATION
Mission Title: The Fabled Excaliburn
Background:
Excaliburn, also known as Legendary Tool of the Gods and Blade of Damnation, is, as its titles imply, a legendary magical artifact, known as an all-powerful weapon once used to decimate armies. Man or mage, whoever possessed this weapon possessed the power to conquer all creation. However, it fell into obscurity after being lost in the aftermath of a vicious war thousands of years ago, fading into myths and legends as every attempt to find it mysteriously derailed. No one could ever find Excaliburn again, the only records of this assumed longsword exists in old tomes gathering dust in the Great Library of Fiore. But this never stopped people from trying. For the past few centuries, every few decades, enthusiastic archaeologists and scientists gather to study these tomes, each group gaining a little clue each time, placing them closer and closer to finding this legendary weapon. Finally, the present group managed to pinpoint the weapon's last known location to be somewhere on Divide Island, a relatively small island located south of Fiore in the middle of the Graveyard Sea. To get there, one must travel to Captial Crocus before taking a train to Mountain Village. From there, go to the dock where you will meet the team of scientists and archaeologists, who will pay for your one-way trip to the island. From a distance, it looks like just another ordinary island with a small town that spans most of the surface. But upon entering the town, the townsfolk seems a little strange, too friendly, too bubbly, and...everywhere...
Client: The Scholars of Excaliburn, the most recent group of people attempting to discover the legendary weapon.
Objective: Using the page of notes that is given to you by the leader of the Scholars, you will need to find out from the locals where the Shrine of Sancriox is. Apparently the altar of the shrine should lead to a network of underground caverns. Your objective is to navigate this network of caverns and find the Spring of the Damned, and the weapon should be nearby. Retrieve the weapon and return to Mountain Village, where the Scholars will bestow you a huge reward in exchange for Excaliburn.
Reward: 100k Jewels each for whoever makes it back to the Scholars alive and a magic item if you defeat the boss. (As well as the ability to boast about having discovered a legendary artifact)
Enemy: Various undead guarding the caverns, the townsfolk (possibility), the Guardian of the Shrine, Excaliburn itself (possibility), and members of Dark Guilds (if you take too long or cause too much ruckus [e.g: cause an earthquake])
Character Requirements: This mission has been marked as a B-Class mission with the possibility of becoming an A-Class due to lack of accurate information. Hence, all willing participants must be B-Class or over, with a maximum of six people, lesser required if there is more than one A-Class. Members of Legal Guilds and mercenaries welcome. However, mercenaries looking to join must prove that they will not attempt to run off with the artifact and sell it to Dark Guilds or do something along those lines. It is not open for others to hop in once the mission is underway as the client records those who accepts this mission before leaving for Divide Island. It is recommended to bring along at least one person who has a good sense of direction as the caverns can be rather confusing and misleading.
