BOUNTY BOARD.
| BOUNTIES. Welcome to the Bounty Board! This is where you can find tasks or sidequests that your character can take on. These can range from simple fetch quests to complex puzzles that require inter-player coordination. And there will definitely be rewards. To accept a bounty, simply comment to it and state the characters who will be undertaking it. Then, submit a thread of your characters completing the mission before the deadline, and the mods will reply with your reward. Bounties that have closed will have their comments frozen. Players can also post their own bounties, under the comment header of the month they are submitted in. The form to use is below!

OCTOBER 2017
no subject
Given the foreigners' remarkable tolerance to the miasma outside of the city, they would be encouraged to venture out of the confines of its walls to explore the Badlands (just like last month). The objectives here would be to bring back mapping information and samples from outside. Photos are the quickest way, but you can also bring back physical rocks or whatever strange things you encounter on your travels.
Characters can now use Meteor Lake as a rest spot, enabling them to travel further than last month.
PRE-REQUISITES.
Exploration groups must be composed of two or more people, for safety reasons. You may ask a NPC roostkeeper to let a dragon accompany you if both of your characters are not Ice faction members. This can be handwaved.
REWARDS.
Reputation with the faction leaders, as well as monetary compensation depending on how much information you've brought back. Ice faction members will receive something special for their dragons.
DEADLINE.
October 31st.
ETC.
For an example of how the exploration results will be provided on an OOC level, refer to the September version of the bounty above. This will be largely a recurring mission, but with differences in minor areas.

At some time in October, players may be approached by a pale-skinned figure with a tattoo of an eye on their forehead. They will offer to purchase a shard of the glittering material that can be retrieved from Meteor Lake. They will buy as many as possible (as many as you are willing to sell) for a hefty price, enough for a character to get by with a week's meals. Asking about their intentions will give the answer of 'research', because every nation has a right to the crystals, and nothing else.
It should be noted that PCs will not remember the mysterious man's appearance save for the eye tattoo, as the NPC is in possession of strong confounding magics. If met with violence, they will throw a smoke bomb and disappear.
PRE-REQUISITES.
Your character must obviously be in possession of a crystal from Meteor Lake, though the obtaining process can be handwaved.
REWARDS.
This mission is plot relevant. Upon taking this bounty, you will be given some clues to seeking out the tattooed individual. Work together with your fellow players to track them down!
DEADLINE.
October 31st.
ETC.
Should your character agree to fund the tattooed man, this will open up an alternative plot path. However, do bear in mind that it also carries risks.

If Lavi agrees, there will be payment exchanged, as well as a means to contact him. This involves waiting on the shore of Voyager Lake and using a stick of incense that the man will give him.
If Lavi does not agree, the man will leave, dropping a smoke bomb to the floor that will addle Lavi's vision and wipe all memory of him save for the eye tattoo on his forehead. His parting words will be that "A new dawn shall rise, we will reclaim what is rightfully ours."
It's not too difficult to discern what faction this man comes from, at this point. If you wish for Lavi to track him down for more questioning, that can be arranged as well!

October is a somber occasion for those who remember the Exodus, for it is the anniversary of their world's fall. It is tradition amongst those of the Spring faction to light a candle inside the emptied shells of airgourd fruit and send it up to the heavens, in a way to honour the dead. Never mind that the sky is now a closed dome - the gesture still counts, right? Villages all across Spring will be lighting them on the date that would have been a full moon, and the Light engineers will tune down the sun-crystal in accordance to their wishes.
PRE-REQUISITES.
Your character will need to spend some time hollowing out the fruit and building it themselves. Bring a friend!
REWARDS.
Reputation with Spring members, as well as some lore clues.
DEADLINE.
October 31st. The lighting date will ICly be October 10th, but you can submit threads until the end of the month.
ETC.
Nah.

He may suggest he "help" by taking people higher to release them further from the ground, and he will definitely be asking everyone who seems old enough to remember the Exodus for their stories.

Thanks to Stone spending time with the villagers, there will be a new plot event set up for November. It'll go more into Spring's story, which hopefully more people will come and participate too.
