Manor Missions

What are Manor Missions? A manor mission is a mid-week session that typically revolves around one or two of the recruited NPC stars. Depending on the mission, success can result in recruiting a new star or simply removing that character's "distractions," as Elenor put it in one of the main sessions. Their entries on the Tablet of Stars will have a Focused tab if such is the result. Failure can result in nothing or..the death of that star. So don't expect guaranteed success!

Who can go on Manor Missions? Anyone! Although there are a few mechanics involved. Each mission has one Initiator, who leads the mission and is the one initiating it. A player can only initiate a manor mission once a week, giving everyone else a chance to lead one too. A 'week' starts on Friday rather than Sunday, to coincide with SoD's timeline. In addition to the initiator, a mission can have up to three Supporters depending on the mission. Supporters are just other players who want to play along. You can support however many times you want to, but it's up to the initiator who can support, not me. Someone who has initiated a separate mission the same week can still support another initiator. And alts=players, so don't ask to initiate a mission on your alt if you've already initiated one for the week. And anyone is free to watch a manor mission if they want to. So send Oboyo a note in the MUD if you're interested in initiating a mission. If someone has already initiated one, ask them if you can support, not me. That initiator will then tell me if you can support them or not.

Available Missions

Brothers in Spirit - 1 Supporter Allowed - Lucass has noticed Sutan going out at night lately to stare into the sky instead of doing things like, you know, sleeping. Concerned, Lucass discovered that Sutan leaves the door from time to time to stare at a painting of Arlia in the manor. Maybe he wants to go mine for fish?

Missions Underway

Searching for the Order - Initiated by Hastur - Supported by Twilight and Roche - Lym has shown resolve to keep fighting for Lionel's sake, but she no doubt feels alone and abandoned. Perhaps someone can take her to the Etansel Library in hopes of finding someone from her secretive order?

The Ultimate Recipe - Initiated by Lenai - 3 Supporters Allowed - Chef Jean has been challenged by an eccentric cook to a fateful cook-off! Big whoop, right? Jean doesn't seem to think so. In fact, he seems extremely worried about losing some kind of super secret super dangerous recipe. Maybe the PDF can help him keep it safe?

The Inventor's Club - Initiated by Helios - Supported by Lenai and Demonicor - Before Egon met Oboyo, he tried to make a living by joining the Engineer's Guild. He was, however, ridiculed for his inefficient means of ghost busting. I mean, using a heavy and dangerous weapon that can only stun a ghost while someone else has to get close enough to trap it? Why not just make a gun that blasts them to bits? So he was kicked out. But now he needs materials from them and hands to construct a third proton blaster. Can the PDF show off its technical expertise to persuade the guild to welcome Egon back?

Sines of Instability - Initiated by Mors - 2 Supporters Allowed - Has anyone noticed that there's a very dangerous looking man in the manor who builds giant trash heaps? If not, they'd probably notice the one sitting right in the main courtyard. Did Oboyo let this guy in? Maybe someone should..see what his deal is.

Family Ball Game - Initiated by Kimen - 5 Supporters Allowed - Casper's always wanted to play baseball, but that's a little difficult being a ghost. More than that, his uncles have challenged him after a dispute during dinner. He seems really worried about the outcome if he loses, let alone finding a big enough team to play. Can anyone in the PDF help?

I'm running a business, Ms. Tro--err Mr. Jinsaka! - Initiated by Trixie - 1 Supporter Allowed - Servbot #1337 feels like he should be doing more to help out around the manor, so he decided to open a shop. Moit seemed -very- concerned. Maybe someone should resolve this situation..for all parties?

Completed Missions

Awkard Dating - Initiated by Mekis - Supported by Kent and Hastur - Lucass has been alive for a couple of centuries, even if he looks like a kid. He's spent most of that time living an empty life. He got a scowl from Elenor one day when he asked, "What is love?" Could some kid his age..or someone much older..have caught his eye? Sounds like someone could use some expert advice! Thanks to Kent's associations and support from Mekis and Hastur, Lucass found resolution in his feelings for Kimen.
