Welcome players to the first of three Beta Quests!
Hopefully this will give those who take part an opportunity to see how the quest system will work in the Guild we encourage as many people as possible to take part though please read everything here first.
Normally a Quest thread will begin with three posts; this post is purely here for the sake of the beta and is to explain what will happen.
The following post will act as a guide to the quest with information on levels, scenarios, monsters etcetera and will also contain information on how to complete this part of the quest. In this case the initial part of the Quest is Centril Square which you all know now, hopefully this will ease you in.
A quest is much like an RP, often they will be battle based but we have some other ideas too. It is also a test of your own story telling abilities as a scenario is laid down your actions will only be bound by points 'a' (what has happened) and point 'b' (the point where you must end up in order for you too move on) the journey in the middle is for you to fill in, how you deal with the challenges laid before you, what you discover on the way and how you interact with each other (if you choose to do so)
There are three main kinds of post:
Questing - Where you are assigned to explore an area or look for something, in this case you may map out caves and ruins as you see fit, add traps, reveal beasts and monsters.
Battle - This will often be a slew of monsters, often endless to allow plenty of bloodshed, it is up to you how you deal with these creatures and you may dispatch of them as you see fit. The trouble is they will keep coming until the Quest moves on.
Boss Battle - This is often a battle with a single being, unlike regular battles you will quest and fight but ultimately you may not kill the boss/es. The boss will fall (or not) as the quest moves on and as a tip of the hat the kill will go to the best storyteller so far.
But this is a lot of chatter so far so let’s get started and we can iron out the edges as we go.
As a final (important) note there will be a list of entrants in the next post, if your name is not on that list you may not post 'but' PM me saying you would like to be added and we will arrange that. If your name is not on the list your posts will be deleted automatically. There is a quantity limit so first come first serve, there is also a time limit, the Quest will reach a point where nobody else can join!
We all hope you enjoy!

Disturbers of the Peace
Centril Square
The bustling hub of Havencrest city, usually peaceful in its own way with market stalls and performers covering its cobbled surface. Snow falls lightly and a thin layer rest evenly on the ground reflecting the bright variety of lights that hang around and across it. It its centre stands a fountain and atop it a stone replica of Jared LeFoor, the cities founder.
The Purple Worm
A creature not commonly native to the lands of Havencrest, vast in size and carnivorous it is a frightening thing to behold. Upright it will tower over a Human man, its rubbery purple hide is tough against small blades and week magic and its mouth is big enough to swallow a man whole with rows of teeth that will grind its prey to pulp before it hits the belly. The creatures are incredibly violent which is not normally an issue when the chance of being discovered by one in a vast snow field is 1/1,000,000 but in a small space and hunting in a pack? Things are about to get 'very' bad...
It begins...
You are taking a well deserved break, this evening the actors of the guild of performers are putting on a Human rendition of 'Colour my Rose' an old Goblin play that's normally a lot more obscene. The night is crisp and peaceful, the sky is clear and star filled and the bustle in the Square is minimal. It is as the performers return to the stage for the second act though that the ground begins to shake, minimally at first but then more violently. It is easy to assume it is one of the magical special effects of the play but the look of panic on the actor’s faces is blatant. You and many others look desperately around for a cause but there is nothing in sight, nothing until a single long object bursts from the ground at such a speed that it seems to glide in an ark through the air. Everybody watches, dumbly silent now at the grace of the scene. Then it crashes down on market stall consuming it and its vendor in a single go before vanishing into the ground, the man barely had time to scream. Panic fills the Square instantly as the worm remerges from another hole across the square coming up directly beneath a couple as they ran. Then you realise with horror a second creature is slithering from the first hole, then a third and a forth, hunting and consuming. Some brave heroes have already drawn their weapons and as one of the worms locks sight on you it's time to decide... Fight or Flight...
This is a 'Battle' scenario:
Worms will continually emerge from the ground until time is up, you need to survive for as long as it takes if you are going to save the people of Havencrest City!
Scenario change on:
Monday 20 Dec
(As this is a Beta Quest I may change this if it lasts too long)

Allistair gritted his teeth quickly making his decision as he side stepped the creature lunging at him. "What the... Worms? So much for a peaceful night..." He thought thrusting his blade at the creature as it passed before him him though he quickly found it's tough hide was more then enough to protect him from the meagor attack.
Allistair stumbled away so as to not get caught on the creature somehow before he soon realized more of the damned things were poured from the hole the first one created. Allistair gritted teeth before sheathing his sword and grinning slightly, "That only leaves one other option... I had hoped on hiding my identity a little bit longer though..." He exclaimed as archaic tattoo's began to glow on his body though they were a dim blue.
Before arriving in town Allistair cast a spell to hide these tattoos and it would wear off if he used any form of magic anyways. As the worm whirled around in an effort to devour him once more, Allistair grinned already chanting under his breath. As the large creature opened it's jaws to devour him a large fireball appeared before Allistair before suddenly flying into the worms mouth, down it's throat and finally exploding sending bit's of the worm flying in all directions.
Happy with his achievement Allistair turned on the balls of his feet only to be tackled to the ground by one of the smalled worms. Allistair trembled slightly as he felt it's teeth grind along his steel chest piece and hoped to god that it couldn't break through.

Alluris stumbled back as a purple worm shot out from the ground below her, narrowly missing being eaten alive she let out a paniced scream. Alluris pulled her bow from her back as the massive purple worm curved around and roared at her viciously, showing rows upon rows of intimidating teeth. She took a few steps back as she drew an arrow and fired it at the beast, the silver merely bounced off of it's tough skin and hit the ground like it was nothing, simply angering the worm as she drew another arrow, this one poisioned. She pulled back on the string of her bow as the worm jot down at her in another attempt to eat her, letting the poisioned arrow fly into it's mouth. Seconds later, the worm was still darting down at her, she dove to the side and roughly hit the ground as the worm hit the stone ground beside her, it limply fell onto it's side with a loud thud as the poision coursed through it's body, paralyzing it before a slow, painful death.
Alluris got up and dusted off her scraped arms and elbows, noticing a man get tackled by a smaller worm, she drew another poisioned arrow and pierced the side of the baby worm, it's hide was softer as a youngling and much easier to penetrate. The small worm screeched in pain and fell limply onto Allistair as it became paralyzed by the poisioned arrow, "Are you alright?" Alluris asked as she ran up to Allistair, kicking the dying worm off of him. She held out her hand to help him up, looking around and staying alert so they wouldn't be blind sided.

Azabiel stood up after being knocked back a few yards. He wiped the blood from his mouth and drew his sword. He rushed up to the worm and ran up the side. Dodging its thrusts and attempts to get him off. He shoved his sword down in what seemed to be the center of the worms back. He ripped it down, using his weight to rip through the skin. He ripped the sword out about 10 yards down the worm. He flipped off of it as it crashed to the ground. Azabiel then rushed over to Alluris.

Allistair took the females hand quickly rising to his feet so that he the other newcomer and Alluris were all back to back. "I'm fine... But it seems we have bigger things to worry about at this moment..." Allistair exclaimed shifting his glance to the worms which quickly surrounded the small group.
Allistair gritted his teeth, "The full grown ones are pretty tough and the weaker ones come by the waves... We need some sort of strategy here." Allistair continued, "I have a basic knowledge of elemental weapon enchantments... But... I can only enchant them with ice and I doubt that would do much..."
Allistair noticed the teeth mark left on his chest piece and let out a sigh, "I'm going to need some new armor..." He thought raising his blade as he held back a sudden lunge from another baby worm. He quickly countered slamming the creature on the ground at his feet before stabbing it as it tried to wriggle away. "Bastards are persistent."

Alluris pulled another arrow from her quiver and pulled it tightly onto the string of her bow, prepared to fire at any of the surrounding worms that would come at them, "My arrows are completely useless against the larger ones unless they're poisioned, and that's only if i get it in the mouth," Alluris explained, releasing her arrow at another small wormling came slithering towards them, she slammed into the worm with her bow like a baseball bat as it recoiled, throwing it back a few feet, "I only have 26 poisioned arrows left, i'll try to save some by fighting the smaller worms with my silver arrows, i'll keep the small ones off of you while you take care of the adults, and if you get into trouble with the larger ones i'll help you out. Sound like a good plan for now?" she asked, pulling a poisioned arrow from her quiver as one of the adults finally made a move, as the gigantic worm barrelled at them from the side, Alluris pulled back tightly on her bow string and let the arrow fly off into it's mouth. The large purple worm hit the ground and skid towards the group, stopping inches from them as it was paralyzed.

Azabiel noticed another large worm coming towards the group. He rushed foward and leaped up to its mouth. The worm snapped at him, he placed his foot at the tip of its mouth and kicked off it, turning around and shoving his sword in its body. He ripped the worm practically in two and moved on to the next one.

Allistair gritted his teeth wielding his katana with one hand as another fireball appeared in the other, "Not like we have much of a choice Ehh?" He exclaimed as the baby worms pulled back momentarilly to allow the Adults to go after the troublesome group of heros.
Allistair chanted lightly under his breath and soon after a light frost coated he and his comrades weapons causing a bit of fog to rise from there weapons blades, "You never know. It may help..." He exclaimed before lobbing his fireball into the large mouth of another attacking adult. "There not very smart to be charging at us showing there only vulnrability are they?"
Right on time with when Allistair said that the ground beneath he and Alluris began to shake as there other comrade had already run ahead to take down one of the large creatures. Allistair turned on the balls of his feet jumping at Alluris so they both would roll out of the way as one of the large worms shot up from the ground where they once stood.
Quickly Allistair turned again slamming his frozen weapon into the side of the worm who was now towering over Alluris and him. The blade took a nice chunk out of the worms side freezing the spot it had hit over though it wouldn't be enough to kill it.
Allistair dove out of the way as the massive worm slammed it'self into the ground where Allistair once stood. He gritted his teeth gaining his footing in time to see the rear end of the creature burrowing into the ground.
He shifted his glance back and forth not sure where the creature would pop up next. Soon the creature emerge sending dirt and debris flying away from it's body as though it was a fish skimming the top of the water, towards Allistair who quickly took notice as two smaller ones wrapped themselves around his his arms holding him in place. "Damn! Let go!" He shouted as time grew shorter.
Allistair quickly chanted beneath his breath as lightning pulsed around his body electrifying the worms which were holding him in place. The wroms shrivelled up burning nearly instantly just in time for Allistair dive out of the way of the immense blur barreling towards him.
As he flew through the air Allistair had already began chanting another spell facing his open palm towards the creature as once again another fireball appeared. Time seemed to be still for a moment as adrenaline pumped it'self through Allistairs veins. When he saw the gash he had left on the large worm from before he released the fire ball at point blank range causing a large explosion. Sending Allistair flying across the centril square before rolling to a stop on his face. As for the worm. It had been torn in half due to the worms previous injuries.
