MEMBER & GUILD RANKING

New quests are released! Sign-ups will open officially on the 3rd of this month, so until then, here's a plotting post for you all to get your Duckletts in a row! Before we hop right into things, though, here are the tallies from total quest points!

⟡ MEMBER RANKING
ICly, Rankings will show the points earned of all Pokemon in guilds, including NPC Pokemon not listed here OOCly. We didn't list guild leaders this time, but might in the future for fun. Keep in mind that quests available to player characters are not the entire pool of quests, and that some are likely snatched up before they can get to them regularly, which is how points vary and how some guilds pull ahead even without much player help. However, over time, player points will certainly affect the standing of guilds! Without further ado, here are the characters in ranking order by guild:

AVAILABLE QUESTS

Remember - Players can submit their own quests, here!

OVER THE BRINK
QUEST TYPE: HEAVY
QUEST GIVER: Polteageist
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★★✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: Yes
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 14th 11:59 PM EST.

We are facing an unprecedented circumstance as numerous Lum Researchers tasked with making contact with a Pokemon known as Decidueye have since gone entirely missing. Our witness and local guide, Chimecho, states that she was leading them through the area beyond the cliffs when they were set upon by a thick, heavy fog, not unlike what recently blanketed our forest region and bay. We have little understanding of what to expect. While Pokemon taking up this quest will be teleported in with the Lum's prototype room, after retrieving the Lum Research team, Pokemon must be prepared to make their own way back to the Bay through unknown and possibly dangerous terrain. Prepare for anything - adaptation will be key.

POINTS REWARDED: 300 points (200 points for failure)
EXTRA REWARDS?: Potential for plot information (if successful), risk of consequence (nothing to ever ruin your time in game).
NOTES: Please use the summary section to fill out how your character will prepare for this quest. Information on what the team will encounter will be presented in their reply. While we will use a super-secret rubric to decide success/failure based on later summaries, your beginning advice is to prioritize the potential to adapt to any given terrain.

GOING UP
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Mightyena
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 25th 11:59 PM EST.

As reaching the mountains beyond the Spire is easier said than done, Spinarak has begun a city project to erect safe stairways and walkways along the cliffside to make it easier for future travellers. Please help them with either constructing, or gathering the necessary materials.

POINTS REWARDED: 100 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: None

NOT A MINIOR MATTER
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Electrode
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 25th 11:59 PM EST.

Some of the rescued Minior from last month have been able to make their own way back to the sky, but others still need a little help. We need Pokemon to help construct two large catapults for launching Minior into the upper atmosphere... and others to man the devices when they're constructed! (Alternate methods of launching Minior are also welcome.)

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: None.

DITTO TO THAT
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Swellow
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 25th 11:59 PM EST.

Lately, there have been all kinds of Pokemon attacking the city from the cliffs! They seem to look different somehow, but that doesn’t make them any less dangerous! Please help fight them off!

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: No.

STEEL YOURSELVES
QUEST TYPE: LIGHT
QUEST GIVER: Toxicroak
CLAIM LIMIT: None
DIFFICULTY: ★✩✩
THREAD REQUIRED?: No
DEADLINE: Must be submitted by APRIL 25th 11:59 PM EST.

With all the ongoing projects underway, we are finding supplies of metal running lower than originally anticipated. Join me in the caves under the Spire, and help to gather more minerals for smelting.

POINTS REWARDED: 50 points
EXTRA REWARDS?: No.

INCOMING EVENTS

With the recent Bounties revealing dire times for missing Lum Researchers, it’s no surprise that the town is preparing to avoid that kind of thing from ever happening again! But while rescues are underway, numerous unexpected Pokemon are flocking at the beaches from their winter homes. What are they doing here?

And for that matter, hey look! Lurantis has her reward ready!

BIGBY WOLF

[wolfcut]

PLAYER INFO
PLAYER: Bre
ABOUT: PST. I typically tag late weeknights/weekends, but feel free to give me a kick if I’m taking my damn sweet time on anything. Officially hit my one year back on DWRP as of last month! Wowzers...
CONTACT: esnupi
SIDE NOTE: I’ve dropped Laios for the time being because my muse has been iffy since like November! Not great! He’s just out in the wild hunting for a bit dwbi. Maybe he’ll be back one day. For now, all his things (bones, bones, and other assorted goodies) are up for grabs except Kensuke, so feel free to let me know!

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Bigby Wolf
CANON: The Wolf Among Us
POKEMON: Morpeko ✨
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here!
ABOUT:

Formerly the notorious Big Bad Wolf of fairytale fame, Bigby is now the exhausted sheriff of Fabletown in New York City circa the 1980s. Despite wanting to move on from his brutal past, his fellow Fables aren’t so easily convinced that he’s around to serve their best interests even after centuries on the job already. There’s a part of him that doesn’t think he deserves their forgiveness either, that he’s just suppressing the monster he really is, but he’s desperate to keep trying to protect those who need him.

He often skirts the line between sympathetic and ruthless depending on the situation, but in general, he’s mostly just rough around the edges and maybe a little sarcastic on his best days. Bigby can be pretty quick on picking things up too, but his short temper can easily lead him astray when pushed enough. The man is perpetually on the verge of another crash out, please do not remind him (or do, so he can let out some pent-up frustration)!!

PLANS:

The ominous single heavy quest beckons. Unfortunately I’ll be busy with life things later this month, so Bigby will be forced to sit that one out. He’s been busy visiting the clinic and minding the Oran kitchen lately anyway. Lots to do, lots of people to check up on...

But he’s open for all other quests! Ditto To That and Infestigation would especially be fun. Doppelgängers and bugs? His two favorite things (no). I’m happy for some light threading too, just note mid-late April might be very slow for me.

ANYTHING ELSE:

[33elk]

god imagine bigby and oko on the ditto quest

oko getting so pissy they can shapeshift and he cant. first thing to actually annoy him

[wolfcut]

meanwhile bigby can't stand having to look at himself these two dorks are going to have such a TIME

dolly also asked about this one so would you wanna get a trio going?? unless you just want to handwave or keep it as a duo. i don't mind double-dipping!!

[autumnrainrunaway]

I am so down to throwing Dolly at the Ditto To That with Bigby if you'd like? :'> I'm easy for either light threading it or handwaving.

[wolfcut]

YEAH let's do it! checking in with kururu but depending on what she says would you wanna make it a trio with oko? i'd be good to thread or double-dip either way though c:

[autumnrainrunaway]

I am game for doing this, especially if Kururu is up for a trio >:3c Also awesome :'D I'm fully for threading it then in that case.

[edgewater]

so he took kensuke with him in the divorce. if we get a quest about a boltund with a knife i swear--

anyway parvati will take good care of the bones. she has so many things she could make!

[wolfcut]

KEEP THEM SAFE PARVATI...... make so many cool things for laios to marvel at when he's back

[edgewater]

She will do it with the fervor of a widow who lost her lover at sea

Do you have anything you'd like to do with either of my girlies this month in mind right now? Obvi knowing us we're gonna make a joke on discord and that'll spiral into sixty billion threads but. You know.

[wolfcut]

YOU KNOW WHAT let’s put Parvati and Bigby on a quest if you’re not full up already I feel like it’s been a while. He’s basically open for all of them except Ditto and maaaaybe Going Up!! And then of course whatever event shennanigans might happen nodnod

[edgewater]

Nodding incredibly sagely let me cheeeeeck my list--

This is a silly suggestion but Noelle's quest perhaps? Idk I had the idea of Parvati making some spiky accessories.

[friendlyflower]

this icon....

[wolfcut]

pictures taken moments before disaster

[sharpjustice]

im just here to save that meme it's perfect ❤️

[wolfcut]

yesss excellent it's bigby's life as a morpeko in a nutshell

also! their last thread was so cute ;u; he got snagged for the only fight quest this month but mayaka better keep training for next time.....

[sharpjustice]

she's gonna impress him by doing a little kick in the air next time (thats alot for her already)

[pyrodulia]

Perhaps there's room for a thread while Ume starts garden planning about what veggies and fruits would make Bigby happiest to have in the kitchen?

[wolfcut]

hand reaching out for ume yes please i'd love a thread i feel like it's been a while for these two ;u;

bigby's in the gardening club too so it's perfect.... he's learning to expand his diet okay please be patient ume. but would you prefer to start or i can in a few days if preferred??

[pyrodulia]

I can wait for you to start. I am off work Sunday/Monday if those days do you any good.

[positivestars]

I'm thinking Maya should probably meet Bigby properly this month- maybe shenanigans around town, if you're good for quests?

[wolfcut]

omg absolutely I was planning on tapping your post too for shenanigans!! did you have anything in mind or would you want to wait for the event post maybe? i can start something in a few days c:

also open to handwave any quests with these two if you'd like! going up and steel yourselves is still open for him

[positivestars]

:D! uhhh I didn't have a specific idea- maybe 'get distracted from getting into trouble trying to find a friend'? But the event post could be a more solid direction.

That sounds good, yeah! Maybe Going Up?

[wolfcut]

honestly the most perfect set-up we can jam it into one of the event prompts SURELY

and perfect!! i can get a summary for that going. maybe it could be after their initial event meeting for timeline's sake. :D

[positivestars]

surely! Even if it doesn't quite fit she'll still be about and doing things, it'll be fine!

excellent, thank you! Yeah, that sounds good to me :)
