[Monster Hunt] Epic Fetch Quest (Open)

Eridanus is charged by a merchant-mage to retrieve some of his more important supplies in his shop before the destruction or looting get to them.

Considered one of the most mysterious cities in Mizahar, Alvadas is called The City of Illusions. It is the home of Ionu and the notorious Inverted. This city sits on one of the main crossroads through The Region of Kalea.

Please Read :
OK so basically this thread is started with three goals in mind for me.
1) This is essentially a job thread for Eridanus.
2) I also hope to fulfill some of the Alvadas Thread Goals.
3) And we might as well capitalize on the monster hunts as well.

I opened this up because doing solos are boring, and it's more fun to thread with people xD

Regarding posting order, this is pretty much a free-for-all. No turns, no posting orders, nothing. Just post wherever and whenever, but this only holds effect when your actions do not affect other players.

The thread will end when Eri finishes his job, so take this as an opportunity to get some of the bounty. Let the monster hunting begin!

Day 50, Spring of 512 AV
Sometime in the afternoon
Around Alvadas

The sky was clear in Alvadas, yet the sense of danger remained. Monsters had invaded the city when the djed storm struck, taking advantage of the illusions that mutated them and the breach in the walls. The citizens had stood up together with the government agencies to protect their city, and now that the walls were rebuilt the Womiyu had been painstakingly hunting and clearing the area of monsters.

Yet, their job was not done for rogue mutations exist; the city was not truly safe yet until there was a hundred percent extermination rate. That was not Eri's concern, for in his hands held a small piece of parchment.

A glowing ruby ring
A leather knapsack with a drawing of glassware outside
A thick wooden staff
A vial of light blue liquid
A tiny transparent case containing pale green powder


In the aftermath of the djed storm people had to evacuate in other seek safety, and there were plenty of merchants who had to leave their products and stocks in their shops, only managing to bring a few items with them in the hurry. On hindsight, they realized the importance of the other items they left behind. The agony of knowing that monsters continued to roam and destroy anything they come across, and opportunistic bands of looters roam to enrich themselves caused these merchants to begin hiring mercenaries to retrieve the more valuable goods.

This was where Eridanus came in. Using his combat abilities as proof of his reliability in that he would not be killed the moment he stepped out, he offered to retrieve such goods at a price. After a little haggling, a merchant who dealt in certain magical supplies stepped forward, and had confided that his shop was in the part of the city that was the least stabilized, for the Silencers had been focusing more on the central areas.

He had agreed, and so he trekked to the less safe corner of the city, his eyes reading through the list again to refresh his memory before keeping the parchment. His twin blades were secured by the weapon harness strapped on his back, but he did not wield them unless there was a need to.

Stepping forward tirelessly, his eyes sought the run-down streets of the city, attempting to identify the obsidian triangular-shaped roof that was the identifying characteristic of his employer's shop.

"this was not in the way he said it would be"A dark cloaked figure hurries past running for saftey and drops a mug. As the figure reaches down to get the mug the wind blows back the hood to reveal a beautiful red haired woman with pale green eyes. And there goes me pulling off the I'm Not A WomanHer hair whips around her beautiful ivory face as she struggles against the wind to put her hood back on and pick up the blueish gold mug. "It was so much easier when i was living in Zeltiva. I mean i can survive a tidal wave." She looked up and noticed the man stand next across from her.

Normally, Sasin would be in a safer area. But after nearly getting caught by the Womiyu a second time, he decided that having to fight off monsters was preferable to being locked up. Unfortunately, he hadn't quite realized how infested this particular area was, which was why he was currently stuck in a building while a giant bird stood guard outside. This building didn't even have anything valuable in it, dammit.

He could make a break for it, he supposed. Duck between it's legs, and hope it didn't stomp on him. Pulling off his clothes and stashing them in his pack, he shifted.

Thirty seconds later, he stretched happily, glad to be back in his Dhani form. It had really been too long. Pulling his pack on, he waited until the bird was slightly distracted, opened the door, and ran. Slithered. Whatever. The instant the bird caught sight of him, it let out a loud squawk and ducked down. Sasin had to roll to avoid it's beak. It continued pecking at him as he ran, and he continued to dodge.

Petch it, it hadn't been this aggressive when he first saw it. Why was it pecking at him like he was a....

A worm.

In hindsight, shifting may not have been the most intelligent idea he'd had today.

There was a noise to the side of the streets. Eridanus shifted his gaze to the source of his sudden clanking to find a huge snake being chased by an even larger bird. He sighed, looking around him to quickly find a way to avoid this needless battle. He noticed a nearby woman with red hair who was in the midst of picking up something on the street, but disregarded her; she was just a random passer-by.

Making his way away from the street where the two creatures were playing their fatal version of hide and seek, he continued to seek the characteristic building, taking care to keep his body hidden as much as he could by the various debris littered around the street while visually inspecting the broken down shops around him one by one.

Apola saw the battle between bird and snake and felt bad for the snake. Not that she liked snakes that much but he hated the bird more. She pulled her bow outtook an arrow and ran behind an overturned cart. If the bird would stop moving so much she could probably hit it... She let the arrow fly and it hit the bird's eye. Maybe that wasn't the best idea. Now Apola was the bird's target. She reloaded and shot another arrow and started to move backwards. Yeah, not a good idea at all.

The arrow whizzed by as the woman attacked the huge bird. Good, that meant that the predator would be after her instead. If she dared to attack the monster it meant that she was probably one of those mercenaries gunning for the bounties offered by the Womiyu. That was not his concern.

Ducking across the various debris, Eridanus made his way into the shop which he finally found. The building was mostly intact, though the roof had collapsed and the minor earthquake that occurred during the djed storm made a mess out of interior of the shop.

The ethaefal sighed.

He did not like to search the debris, but he knew that he had to get this job done if he wanted his pay. Furthermore if he failed his reputation might very well suffer a hit. He can't have that, can he?

His keen senses scanned the debris-ridden shop, when he spotted a thin wooden staff sticking out conspicuously.

At least it's not broken.

Bounding forward, he pulled it out of the rubble, stashing the wooden staff in a knapsack he lugged around specifically to carry these items.

Now where's the next one...?
