The guilds have arrived in the reclusive Dos Village, home to mountains of scrap and artifacts of the Ancients, in search of the final key in a place called “The Under”. Concerns of the Jawbreakers showing up at any moment in pursuit of the key are flying high.
Any guild can take on the tasks below! For completing the task of fortifying Dos, members will receive a Firium Z-Crystal or an Electrium Z-Crystal.
For completing the delivery task, members will receive an amulet coin, an old family heirloom of Tim’s that’s worth quite a bit if you sell it back to him (15 Meobans).
A single task rewards 2 Meobans if completed. Tasks will remain up until the launch of the next event and can be completed for these rewards during this time.
"Aight, listen up ye guildies from across the waters! Since we seem to be expectin’ some unpleasant company - company need I remind you you have brought upon us - Dos will need your help reinforcin’ her borders."
"There’s lots of scrap around here. We’ll be needing good defenses, simple as a wall of some of the more jagged pieces of metal, but we’ll also need ingenuity. If you’re good with tinkering, feel free to take what you like and make what you can out of it. Traps and the like."
"Aye. I’ll also need a full report of what these “Jawbreakers” look like and what they can do, so those of ye who’ve had close encounters with them, don’t leave anything out."
The Admirals, the local guild of Dos, have asked that the Rift City guilds help in reinforcing their settlement in anticipation of the Jawbreakers. You are encouraged to use whatever you can find on the island or in the shallows to create barriers and traps that would hinder an attack from Gus and his gang. Any information about the Jawbreakers crew is also appreciated. What they look like, how they act and fight, and any tools in their arsenal would be helpful to know.
Baldr, the barraskewda, and Boulder, the regional graveler, are a part of the Admirals and are here to help should your teams need assistance with heavy lifting or navigating the waters around Dos. You can see a ref of them here.
“Hey there stranger. The name’s Watt. I deliver all messages here in Dos. Spoken, written, drawn, doesn’t matter. Inner to Outer, Outer to Inner, I’ll deliver it! However, I’ve run into a bit of trouble you see.”
“There’s a message to be delivered from the inner circles of Inner Dos to the east docks of the Outer Ring of Dos. Normally that ain’t a problem. However I’m still recovering from a bad clip last time I did that run. The client, Grim, who hides himself away in a cave at the docks, can be a bit… wild. But, a client’s a client!”
“Anyway, a miss Candra in Inner Dos wants the package delivered to the wild ‘mon in Outer Dos. Whether she views the thing as a sort of pet or it’s a matter of love, doesn’t concern me. Just get the package safely to the client. Be discreet please. The clients value their privacy. Do this and I might be able to nick something for ya!”
A local resident of Dos, Watt, has requested that you take up this task. He may have given you the names of the clients, but your team may not know what they’re in for. Candra, a luxio, of Inner Dos would like you to deliver a package that contains a small cake and a lovely handwritten letter to Grim, a slightly wild ursaluna, who lives on the east docks of Outer Dos.
If you’re seen carrying a suspicious package, especially in the hands of an outsider like you, the magearna and genesect patrolling Inner Dos may hound in on you. And with it being food, some of the wild pokemon of Outer Dos may sniff it out and attack. If you are chased, nearing Grim’s home may sort it out, but it will also put you and the package in danger, as Grim may take a while to calm down. Please make sure the contents of the package remain intact and that you aren’t seen taking the package from the client or delivering it to the recipient. You can view a ref of Watt here.
I'm still getting use to the group's new look and format (not a dis at all btw it looks great!) Could someone please tell me how to submit pages into the right folders so mistakes can be avoided and not repeated?
When you click on the button to submit something to the group, there will be a dropdown menu in the corner to select which folder you want to subnit it to! Since the "Featured" folder is automatically the first folder that gets made by a group on DeviantART, it will usually have that one selected. You just have to click on it and scroll down to the mission/job folder you want!
Ohh the new page design looks sick!!
I’m glad you think so! If the changes to groups is going to be mandatory, might as well try and spruce up the place where we can!
A bit of a preparation for DA's upcoming website update, hah! We're hoping this layout will hold up after the coding changes.
You've already given us the heads-up over in the Discord chatroom, but just to help explain it over here - we're probably going to change up how we post the announcements for future Task Board Events, and the Mission and Job journals will have to be navigated to manually by our members if they aren't keeping that notification on their main hub. Other than that everything should stay as it looks now! We're going to find out when DA's coding update hits I suppose!
