Quest Rewards: 2,000 Experience Points 5,000 col Unlock the <Incognito Assassination>> Quest Requirements: Speak with the Chief regarding Uso-Tsuki's betrayal. Succeed in gathering enough information to identify the details of the assassination. Return to the Chief with the intel. Summary: The Chief of Marsonia recently discovered the betrayal of Uso-Tsuki's, once his most trusted lieutenant. He attempted to have him arrested, but the cur ran and was able to escape the guards. Now, knowing that he was a wanted man, Uso-Tsuki has decided to make an even bolder move: killing the Chief and taking his throne by any means possible. An agent has sent word that Uso-Tsuki is on his way to kill his former liege. By accepting the quest, the player is pressed into service to locate Uso-Tsuki and learn how he intends to bypass the Chief's defenses. Outline: There are two ways to gather information: Using Stealth, Players must attempt this option before moving onto the next one. You must make 3 successful Stealth checks against Uso-Tsuki. Uso-Tsuki has a has a Detection Rating of 12, meaning a player must roll a 13+ for their Stealth checks after bonuses. If you fail 3 times before achieving 3 successes, Uso-Tsuki discovers you and runs off, and you must move to the Intercept option. However, if you succeed 3 times before this occurs, you gather enough information to know what his route is to kill the Chief. You may return to the Chief with this information without moving on to the Intercept option. Intercept If a player fails to trail Uso-Tsuki with Stealth, they must fight Hogo-Sha. Upon engaging Hogo-Sha, Uso-Tsuki will flee. When Hogo-Sha is defeated, he drops a Coded Missive. The player must perform post actions to roll LD, completing three crucial tasks to complete the mission: First, they must decode the message (LD 15+). Then, they must locate a translator as the decoded message is written in a foreign script (LD 13+). Finally, they must roll a value to read the message (LD 11+). Bonuses apply to these rolls. NPCs: <<The Chief of Marsonia>> The Chief of Marsonia is a straightforward man who is widely considered equally wise and cunning. Every move is calculated, and he leaves little to chance. Having earned his position through enduring several gauntlets of war and strife, he is hardened to the consequences of trust and betrayal. He will express to the player that he once saw Uso-Tsuki as a son, but now realizes his pseudo-nepotism was a vehicle that now risks his untimely demise. Though not the sort to plead, he requests the player's aid in thwarting Uso-Tsuki's attempt on his life. Enemies: <<Hogo-Sha>> With an ever-wary and keen eye, Hogo-Sha is Uso-Tsuki's right-hand man, and will defend the latter to his dying breath, if necessary. Though he prefers a more straightforward fighting style, he is adept in the ways of assassination, and will see through any stealth attempts made by the player. He is quiet, but this should not be mistaken for weakness - nothing makes it past his inordinate sense of perception. HP: 1000/1000 | DMG: 175 | MIT: 75 | ACC: 2 | EVA: 1 This boss receives its own BD roll when attacking. Abilities: Expecting Eye | <<Hogo-Sha>> is expecting someone to attack him, as the conspiracy has made him paranoid. He is immune to the Surprise Attack mod, and will always Parry your first attack. Parry | On a roll of CD 9+ (on your attack roll), <<Hogo-Sha>> will <<Parry>> your attack, blocking 50% of the final damage. He will still attack normally on this turn. Epilogue: If the Player succeeded in gathering the information via Stealth: Spoiler Upon returning to <<The Chief>>, he will inquire as to the outcome of the mission. After hearing that the player was able to retrieve the information without revealing themself, he will let loose a sigh of relief. As Uso-Tsuki has not been made aware that his plans were intercepted, it is unlikely the assassination plans will be altered prior to their execution. A panel appears, informing the player of the quest’s completion, listing the quest rewards and experience gained, along with an alert that states the <<Incognito Assassination>> quest is now available to undertake. <<The Chief>> will then ask the player for their aid in intercepting Uso-Tsuki's assassination attempt and putting a stop to his mad schemes once and for all. If the Player was forced to Intercept <<Hogo-Sha>> to retrieve the information: Spoiler Upon returning to <<The Chief>>, he will inquire as to the outcome of the mission. After hearing that the player was forced to battle <<Hogo-Sha>> in order to gather the information, he will become visibly nervous. As Uso-Tsuki now knows it is possible somebody has his plans, he will be more cautious and possibly alter them prior to their execution. A panel appears, informing the player of the quest’s completion, listing the quest rewards and experience gained, along with an alert that states the <<Incognito Assassination>> quest is now available to undertake. Though he is skeptical of the player's competence, out of sheer desperation, <<The Chief>> will nonetheless request the player's aid in intercepting Uso-Tsuki's assassination attempt.
