Bounty Board
Remember: Hunting monsters can get dangerous, so we suggest tackling those jobs in groups of two to four."
To attempt one of the bounties, comment to this post, specifying the bounty in question, other party members you'll be taking along, and any further requested or relevant details.
If the bounty states Moderated Log not required, you can put up a log to play out the events with all involved participants at your own discretion; if it states Moderated Log required, you will need to play out a series of events led by one of the mods, so make sure you can commit the time to doing it!
Bounties and expeditions may be taken by a single group of up to five people, and characters can undertake new bounties and expeditions once every three days.
For the month of July, completing at least one bounty will earn 50 experience!
Hot In Herre
Requester: AMBITIOUS ALCHEMIST
Location: Concord Spellcraft Guild
I'm told there's a mysterious rock or crystal of some kind that heats up nonliving matter in proximity; it sounds like a fantastic substance for study! I'm willing to pay handsomely for a few nice, big pieces of it. You'll find it in the Crater in this new Shard to the north. The fact that you won't be able to wear anything while transporting it won't be too much of a problem, right?
Reward: 1600 Sol per sample (one per person, please!)
[Moderated Log not required; just log out the awkward escapades that result! Each participant needs 3+ posts to receive credit.]
Coming Up Next
Requester: INSPIRED IMPRESARIO
Location: The Glistering Estate
I'm putting together a block of some shows for the coming weekend, and my audience is growing weary of the usual performances about mysteries and monsters and knights. Then it hit me: I'll put up short shows written by the illustrious Starfallen, and maybe even acted out by them! Why don't you all send me some scripts, and we'll see what we can do?
Reward: 1200 Sol
[Moderated Log not required: Just put up a log or description of its performance. Hopefully you don't mind your fellow Starfallen judging it....]
Welcome to Flavortown
Requester: GRANDIOSE GASTRONOME
Location: Laourn
As The Pit's chief tender, I'm not just the mayor to a village of flavor; I'm the lookout on the S.S. Delicious on her search for new and righteous dishes and delights. Why don't you Starfallen give me YOUR recipes? If I get enough, maybe I could even make an anthology! "Flavors of the Starfallen" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Reward: 1000 Sol
[Moderated Log not required; just post the recipe to the Liber Nuntiorum. It can be as realistic, fantastical, plausible, or nonsensical as you see fit. Just bear in mind other Starfallen may have their own thoughts on it...]
Hang On Tight
Requester: BOLD BOULDERER
Location: The Outlands
That weird bunch of moving floating rocks may be gone for now, but that's no reason to get rusty with your skills-- or for us to slack off on making the tools you need! We've made some subtle improvements to the retractable paraglider and grappling slinger we'd like to put into practice. You and your friends could even hold races with each other! How about giving us a test on the old obstacle course?
Reward: 400 Sol
[Moderated Log not required; just log out the high-speed escapades that result! Each participant needs 3+ posts to receive credit.]
Well, This Is Awkward
Requester: UNCOMFORTABLE UNDERSTUDY
Location: Not specified
I'm from a well-known and legitimate publication that specializes in tantalizing gossip about the recent goings-on, and... our lead editor and writer seems to have vanished off the face of the shard after one of his usual nights of belligerent drunkenness. If you can write up a snappy, scandalous headline and a tantalizing paragraph about recent events or especially the Starfallen, we'll pay you well for it.
Reward: 1200 Sol
[Moderated Log not required; just DM it to the mods!]
Many Layers
Requester: BOHEMIAN BARISTA
Location: Concord
I'd like to give a special gift to whoever is able to master ten classes. Respond to this posting if you manage to pull it off.
Reward: Not specified
[Not eligible for EXP rewards!]

When they arrive on location, the monster's light-footedness and curious gait make it difficult to track, but the team does not have to wait long before they come face-to-face with it.
...or, rather, before a Giant Solifuge ambushes the group from behind, mistaking Nanu's lackadaisical slouch for a sign that he would be easy prey. And to make matters worse, it's a powerful hit.
Selphie rushes in to his defense, but going fist-to-mandible against a large, skittering arachnid monstrosity leaves on scant openings for her to land her hits, at least until Knoll can join in. From there, between her and Knoll harrying the beast, it's enough to at least free Nanu from from its rending jaws. With a more clear shot, Adah begins opening fire as Cecil offers some healing to Nanu, who readily accepts, and the little kobold resigns himself to healing his allies as the fight resumes. Slowly but surely, the team's combined efforts start to whittle down the solifuge... and wouldn't you know it, another one soon appears from behind the rocks, rushing into the fray.
The still-injured Nanu just sighs, sneers, and directs a Multiply Would toward their first foe to finish it quickly. It works; a small hole in the creature's body splits wide open across its body, a particularly sickly-looking ichor gushing out as it flails, collapses, and spends a few seconds twitching.
The new arrival, understandably, hesitates. It peers down toward the fatally-injured Solifuge.
And apparently seeing no reason to balk at a little cannibalism, it drags the first arachnid a short distance away before starting to devour it. The group decides that this would be a good time to leave.
The group returns and is forced to lean on good will and the bug-goop still on their clothes to confirm the kill, but their client seems willing to take their word. ...though he pales and starts shaking at the mention that their target was eaten by a second Solifuge.
He hurriedly gives them the 1200 Sol and runs off, presumably to go throw up.
