Nuidan: Tasks and Claims

NUIDAN: TASKS & CLAIMS

The Rundown: Active and Passive Tasks
Not to step on the Storyteller's toes, Harv's brand of assistance comes in the form of Tasks that, once completed, will unlock improvements to the islets and other living areas on Enso. The tasks characters may be involved with come in two flavors; Passive or Active:

Passive Tasks are most likely to occur due to meeting a prerequisite task incidentally, such as searching a number of squares on Nuidan, or accomplishing a certain amount of active tasks. These tasks cannot be claimed. Instead, everyone's actions will play a role in meeting the requirements for rewards in this area - some of which may be unlocked at a later date. Active Tasks require IC action, which may involve foraging, harvesting, cooking, repairing, construction, or more! Using the form below, characters can ICly opt to take on these quests; though when taking up a task, keep the following details in mind:

[ ♆ ] Limitations: A character may only work on one Active Task at a time. The amount of IC days required to complete said task will be RNG'd. So, for example, if your character picks up a five day task on the 3rd, you won't be able to pick up another task for them until the 8th!

[ ♆ ] Requirements: We will require at least one thread showing your character in the midst of this task. A single thread providing a glimpse into this work is perfectly serviceable, and there will be no requirement to write each task out from start to end. Instead, consider each task to be a log or top-level prompt.

[ ♆ ] Difficulty: Task difficulty is based on how many days, minimum, the task will take to accomplish. More difficult tasks will take longer to accomplish, even in a group.

[ ♆ ] Timing: As mentioned above, the amount of time a task will take to complete will be decided via RNG. However, teaming up with others will reduce the maximum amount of time that task will require. A task that may take one person five days to accomplish may easily be managed by five people in two. If working in a team, make sure to note any characters with which you'll be working. If you do not, they cannot affect the RNG.

Lastly, this post will be linked to both the Search Requests and Locations page for reference, so don't fret that you'll lose the link!

The group or character that signs up for the task will be responsible for deciding where on Ensō they would like their reward to be placed, so bear that in mind!

Forms: Task Selection and Requesting Specific Rewards
Interested in a particular reward or establishment not mentioned? Characters are free to request certain goods or buildings in return for a quest in need of fulfilling; a form has been included below! This list is not set in stone. More tasks will be added as required, so don't worry if you don't immediately get something you had your eye on! If you'd like to participate but are concerned that your character may be physically unable to accomplish any of the above tasks, we are happy to work with you to come up with a solution!

Feel free to use this post to plot and plan amongst yourselves, as well!

Laurent is going to explore the spring quadrant first- I'm open to search req offers for him to tag along!

Task-wise, he's (I'm) interested in the animal herding task. Tentatively he may be grouped with Gladio and whoever else approaches us, I guess. I'll look around for more tasks after I sort this one out, I think!

[flower_of_innocence]

/is too lazy to switch journals, but-

Dogmeat (Fallout 4's lovable pup, here on the island now) is hanging around the Storyteller's temple for people to take along on their searches, if you want some company and don't mind picking up stray dogs! He could also assist in animal herding if Laurent is so inclined to try and use him for that.

[piercetheheart]

How does Dogmeat feel about tigerlilies?

[flower_of_innocence]

I don't think he's ever met one, but in general he's a very friendly dog who enjoys companionship in all forms. As long as the tigerlilies don't attack or threaten him, he should be fine!

[piercetheheart]

/o/ Leopold is a good kitty as long as Dogmeat doesn't get in his way lol Gladdy's been working with him on herding techniques for almost 3 months now.

[flower_of_innocence]

Hey, Dogmeat may not have formal training but he follows orders Real Good, so they can divide and conquer while Leopold leads by example o9

[piercetheheart]

Gladio might end up adopting this dog lmao especially since he's got 3 flocks up at the workshop

[crosslaced]

hey! our current team is Gladio, Laurent, and Shion! I think we're all okay with having Dogmeat, so if this party setup looks okay to you then we're good. :)

[flower_of_innocence]

That team sounds great to me! Is that for searching or animal herding? :o

[crosslaced]

The animal herding task! ....... oh dear, were you looking for a search request instead, I am all over the place today D:

[flower_of_innocence]

No, no - don't worry, I was offering him up for both so I just wanted to double check which one you were referring to!

ANIMAL HERDING: CLOSED-ISH?

[crosslaced]

Hey! The current group we have consists of Gladio, Laurent, Shion, Dogmeat. We're close to the character limit (I didn't realise we already had so many, so advertising at all was kind of my bad), so if you really want to join this group take note that we only have one slot left and get in touch with us!

[yourattention]

i don't want to switch journals on my phone but damen is definitely just tagging along with laurent so

[hellawrath]

Lup would be down for some exploration!

[crosslaced]

YEAH they can explore! Do you have any quadrants or squares in mind?

[hellawrath]

Nah, whatever looks good to you!
