What are Side Quests and how do they work?
Side Quests are optional missions/jobs that are posted on the Libra Network each month for characters to do. New quests will appear every month around the same time as the OOC plotting post (so about the 28th), but ICly will appear on the app on the 1st of the month.

Players will sign up their characters to do particular quests, either by themselves or with a group. During the sign up, players will give information on how well a character would do on a particular quest (for example: if an illiterate character was asked to read some books to children, you should mention that they can't read). With this information factored in, the mod helper will respond with roughly how smoothly the quest will turn out based on a combination of your characters skills and RNG.

From there, players are free to play out or handwave the side quests as they wish! While we ask that players sign up for quests that are happening in the current month, players can backdate quest threads as much to your liking.

There is no limit to how many characters can be part of a single quest group. You can do quests by yourself, or have a raid party of 30 characters.

You can sign up for as many group quests (2 or more characters) as you like. While you can sign up for a solo quest, they are currently restricted to one per month per character.

Are there Rewards?
Each quest will have IC rewards for characters that vary depending on the quest and how well the characters do.

On the OOC end, turning in quest threads that have at least 3 comments from your character will earn you 1 free gacha point. The quest doesn't need to be completed, it just needs to have at least three comments from your character in order to be eligible. While you can sign up for as many group quests as you like in a month, you can only redeem up to 3 gacha points per month. Threads for quests from previous months can be redeemed as well, but it'd count towards the quest turn-ins for the current month. In group quests, when redeeming gacha points, please be sure that each player who wishes to redeem the thread for a gacha roll comments individually so we can keep track of individual free gacha totals.

Player(s): Everett & Jeff
Character(s) Involved: Nick & Crito
Quest Name: We Didn’t Start the Fire
Relevant Skills: These two have…an interesting three step plan. Step 1, go to Undertown and find some magic/potions/etc. they can use to put out the fire (Nick has a few connections from frequenting the shops often for his exorcism materials). Step 2, once they track down the guy, use Crito’s Model Train Inventory to set up a slow looping train full of worms and other tasty treats around the area they believe to have the most salamanders to lure them out and round them up. Step 3, once things have (hopefully) been handled, confront the guy responsible and try and “encourage” them to pay for the damages done to the pizza place. (By encourage they mean threaten with the salamanders, themselves.)

Nick and Crito both have magical detection abilities. Crito also has the ability to hear things on the wind, so hopefully that should be helpful in tracking down the little beasties!

Anything else?: CLICKTY CLACK DOWN THE TRACK COMES LOTS AND LOTS OF TRAINS Nick has the -1 luck debuff!

MISSION: SUCCESS

[kaisoumods]

Nick and Crito have a plan, and they're able to execute that plan, even if it isn't completely flawless. Thanks to Nick's connections they're able to procure enough frostbreath elixir to put out the fire, though upon hearing of the situation, the alchemist selling them the reagents says that multiple fires in a short span of time is very unusual for the area... especially magical fires! After that encouragement to look further, they're allowed into the stabilized but still-smoldering shop to search for clues. In a back room they find what they're looking for: an entirely hidden passage to a basement beneath the entire property. Unfortunately, it's loaded with magical traps... but more fortunately, they are both able to detect magic, so they know that traps are coming. The security runes throw literal fire at them (hope you have some leftover potions) as well as knee-high goblins that will not hesitate to pants anyone they can get close to, though there's nothing too dangerous. Some collateral damage is to be expected with all that fire being thrown around, though. Once the threats are dealt with, the remaining paperwork and tax returns (because even a criminal ought to do their taxes) point to one of the managers of the pizza place as the ringleader. After setting their trap and doing a bit of cartoonish chasing, Nick and Crito are able to round up the escaped fire salamanders in a fireproof glass container. The morality of this is a bit dubious, but it's for a good cause... and it's only temporary, hopefully. Using their abilities they find the mad manager trying to grab his money and run, and they pin him down; at first he doesn't see the fire salamanders as an active threat but then they start escaping from the box and setting his clothes on fire so he reconsiders his life choices and gives up. Yay!

For their efforts in not only stopping the fires, but securing the source of them and bringing the "arsonist" to justice, Nick and Crito receive $300 to be split however they see fit, as well as a 20% discount pizza coupon at the establishment when it reopens in a couple weeks. It's good for three months, too! The salamanders are given new homes, some being sold in Undertown as licensed pets, and others as part of a supernatural wildlife rehabilitation center. A few are also cut loose to run amongst the freakier wild animals in the state park but who's counting. Due to the difficulty of finding homes for all of the salamanders, Nick and/or Crito can take home a salamander as a pet since they can't be released into the wild, if they like. (The salamander will have its fire glands humanely removed though. It's for safety reasons.)

Sometimes, stories can become larger than life. Due to the creativity and thoroughness used in solving this quest, your characters have been granted titles.

Nick will be known in certain circles as "Nick the Flame-Tamer"!

Crito will be known in certain circles as "Crito, Conductor of Chaos"!

They may be recognized by NPCs in certain areas (Undertown, Spirit Realm occupants, some factions, etc.) who have heard of their deeds. These titles also come with the perk "10% off all pizza". (Unlike the coupon, this has no expiration or limitations.) While you can earn multiple titles, you can only have one perk active at a time.

You can determine exactly how this quest went down, and thread (or handwave it) as you please! If you decide to turn in this quest for gacha points, please reply to this comment with your thread once you have commented at least three times.
