Hunters' Hub Rampage Quest

[Deleted]

Quest Name: Hunters' Hub Rampage Quest

Who can participate?: Camila Adaronde, Edward Konig

Quest Time Frame (How long it takes): Two Hours Tops.

Quest Setting (NDE/DE): Death Enabled

Quest Synopsis: Far off from standard civilization, a group of people exists that are in dire need of assistance. These people, simply named Wyverians, are currently dealing with a rather awful situation; rather massive monsters are currently looking to take siege of the last remaining city they have standing. They've developed rather advanced technologies in order to gather aid with their problems, but unfortunately with the limited amount of time available, these Wyverians have only been able to draw two seemingly random candidates from the world off the island in order to aid them.

Maximum Number of Participants: 2

Overall Goal: Defend against the Rampage, and slay Magnamalo.

Number of missions involved: 7

BASIC Synopsis of each Quest mission:

[Optional] Prepare against the first wave.

[HARD] Defend against the first wave of the Rampage.

[HARD] Hunt A Great Izuchi.

[Optional] Prepare against the second wave.

[HARD] Defend against the second wave of the Rampage.

[HARD] Hunt a Tobi-Kadachi.

[HARD] Hunt a Rathian.

[Optional] Prepare against the final wave.

[HARD] Defend against the final wave.

[HARD] Slay Magnamalo.

Recommended Class for entry: 3-1

Special Conditions & Noteworthy Information:

This Quest is broken up into three main segments. Each of these segments has their own boss(es), much like that of a normal Rampage Quest found in Monster Hunter Rise. Each wave will consist of a horde of smaller monsters, that, once slain, will segway into one or two larger ones, depending on the Quest segment. While each large Monster will retain their same intimidating appearance much like from their regular games, they will statistically be created as a Beast-Clansman NPC. These NPCs will naturally vary in stats and techniques. In order to imitate the enrage mechanic found in the mainline games, these Monsters will be able to use their Yaseishin multiple times during a fight, and these Yaseishin will cost no reiatsu in order to activate.

Quest participants will begin with 1,000 extra QP in order to start, but this QP cannot be converted into TP. Instead, this can be spent in order to better prepare for the waves of the Rampage to come. Any QP earned once the Quest begins can be converted freely, but this 1,000 will remain QP until the end of the thread. Once both participants arrive at the appropriate location for the Quest, purchasable options for defense will be made available. In order to make sure party members do not kill each other, the quest area has been fitted with state-of-the-art technology to directly preventing the clashing of different reiatsu signatures, allowing participants to benefit from the knockback affects from their allies' attacks, while preventing them to take any damage at all from those very same attacks. This has the potential to set up for rather interesting attack options. Different levels of teamwork between participants will be awarded appropriately.

Upon finishing an introduction post, both parties involved will be transported to the quest location. From there, the first optional preparation phase will be commenced. Each preparation phase will lasts for four total posts, during which durations reiatsu costs, and other similar effects will be suspended. Additionally, combative actions cannot be taken, including but not limited to reiatsu intake, releasing, using non-cinematic techniques aside from step techniques, et cetera.

In your first post, mark the gear you're going to be starting with at the top of your post. These items will be purchasable at any point throughout the thread, but will not be able to be taken outside of this thread. At the end there may be variants of each weapon that are far more balanced around site mechanics as is (and approved by mods for that matter), but for the time being these will remain in this thread only (and any other monster-hunter-themed quests I plan on running down the line).

[Edward]

In one moment Edward had been in the middle of playing his brand new switch. His focus was drawn into the final moments of the last hunt of the game, with the last blow of his greatsword he knocked down the monster and was carving it when a voice echoed in the back of his mind. “Champion of hunts, we call to you to help us.” He stopped and looked around, the only time he had ever heard a voice like that in his mind was when he heard the call of the Emperor. For someone else to invade his mind like that gave the Quincy pause as it meant that at least something as strong as their god was trying to make contact with him.

It was as he stood up that his vision faded to black, then as suddenly as it faded to black everything came back, however he was no longer in his room. Instead he was in the middle of a dirt road. This road was surrounded by old style Japanese buildings. Everything was strange, yet familiar at the same time, then he saw it. A small cat like creature walking around on two legs carrying back a man in armor in a cart. “A palico……..?” Edward knew very well what that creature was, or at least what it looked like, a cat helper race in the popular game series Monster Hunter. The more he looked around the more it came to him that he was standing in the middle of the town from Monster Hunter rise.

A sickening grin started to come across his face as he realized what seeing a palico meant. All those amazing hunts that he took place in the game were here for him to actually do in person. The very idea of being able to strike down and slaughter great monsters with his own hands and be rewarded for it greatly was too much to pass up on. He didn’t know why he was here, but he didn’t care. All he wanted was a proper blade, sure the artificial zan he had was a great weapon, however he wasn’t truly satisfied with it as a blade.

With a glee in his step he went over to where he knew the blacksmith was. In an actually friendly tone Edward spoke to the man. “Can I see your wares while you take a look at these two swords and tell me how they stack up to what is made here?” Edward first gave the man his artificial zan that he had bought from the black market, while also activating his arrow form to create a class one false Selee Schneide. While he was excited to get a weapon of his own from this area, if it wasn’t as useful as the two blade he had access to at the moment then it would do him no good to waste time and money on them. While looking he drew in reiatsu for two reasons first to test if he could and second to replenish his reserves he had no idea as to how long he might be stuck here .

Having spent most of her day starting to pack up her belongings in preparation for a rather big move that she was anticipating, Camila stood around her apartment. She'd been rather proud of the time she'd spent thus far making sure everything was neatly organized and well-thought out, but something felt... off. Almost everything had been put neatly into boxes of various sizes, but she couldn't quite tell what had felt out of place. Something didn't sit right with her though. Did she accidentally pack away her wallet or something? Checking around her pockets, she sighed as she realized that it was nowhere to be found. Great. Just great. Now she had to go through each individual box in order to find the damned thing. So much for getting something productive done today.

Closing her eyes to think, Camila realized she needed to come up with some sort of systematic plan in order to go through everything. The problem was, though, once she opened her eyes again, she was no longer in her apartment. She blinked a few times again, trying to take in whatever the fuck had just happened, before realizing that yup, this was all real. Looking around, she appeared to be just outside some kind of village of sorts. When she had fully realized that this was not, in fact, a dream, she decided to shout. "What the fuck?!"

Making her way into said village, she looked around and immediately went on guard; seeing a man dressed in blues and whites, holding what looked to be some kind of energy blade. He had to have been a Quincy. Best to stay clear of him for now, huh? She didn't really have too much she could've done unfortunately, so Camila decided to take the time to wander around and see if there was anything nearby she could've picked up. If she was here suddenly, might as well make the most of her trip, right? Surely there was something she could make use of while here, in order to bring back even if just a souvenir from her trip to wherever the hell this was.

---

While that was going on with the Shinigami, the smithy chucked to himself with a smile as Edward asked his question. "Of course, isn't a problem in the slightest!" Reaching behind him, the man pulled out various different weapons that Edward could've made use of, should he desire to. These consisted of longswords, to a set of dual blades, to even a sword and shield. "We've more hanging up behind me, if these don't suit your fancy. Let me know if you'd like to see anything in particular and I'll get it down for ye. That out of the way, let's take a look at what you've got, shall we?" First taking a look at Edward's artificial Zanpakuto, the man began to size it up, hold the blade out, check the sharpness of it, and then place it back down. He followed in suit with Edward's Seele Schneide.

Turning back to the Quincy, the man placed his arms on the counter in front of him, and leaned over ever so slightly. "They're by no means bad weapons; both of these are crafted to excellency if I might say so myself, but they might not be able to break through the scales of some beasts here. I'd practice caution if yer gonna use these against 'em, but they shouldn't be bad." Nodding to himself, the man went back to work by his anvil hammering away at a sheet of metal. "If yer looking to purchase anything, don't be afraid to lemme know and we can get you outfitted with a weapon perfectly suited to yer skills, mister..." The man paused, waiting for the Quincy to drop his name.

As if on Queue, as soon as the man finished speaking, a rather loud horn was blown from the large building that had been set up right behind the smithy's booth. Almost immediately, people began to enter a state of worry. "Ugh," the man started to complain under his breath, though likely still loud enough for the Quincy to be able to hear him, "damned frenzies have been going crazy as of late. Here's to hoping those two offworlders show up sometime soon, we could use their help." As he finished speaking, he went back to hammering away at the sheet of metal. By the building, a rather grizzly-looking man stepped out and crossed his arms, as if waiting for someone to approach him.

[Edward]

Edward listend to what the man said about the two blades that he had given to the shopkeep. It seemed at the very least he would be able to fight with his normal weapons if the need arose, however the warning about how it would be harder with them rather than the weapons of the shop was interesting. From what he could tell these weapons weren’t that much stronger than that of his own, it was possible that they had their own unique properties that made the better suited to slay beasts. “I thank you for your advice, as for what I’m buying well I’ll take that.” Edward pointed up at the longsword that was held up against the wall.

If these things were better suited to hunting monsters then at the very least he should use them while here and he should also take them back to be analyzed by the Vandenreich. New form of weaponry was always welcomed. “My name is Edward.” He said as the blade was handed to him. The sigh of the man along with the muttering words drew his attention. Apperntly they were expecting off worlders to help deal with the wave, not only were they expecting one, but two of them. The fact that there was another off worlder was something he couldn’t avoid. Using his energy sensory he started to sense around this place, getting a feel for what was normal for individuals here and anything strange he would focus on.

It was while he was doing this that he sensed the strength from the man standing stoic in the center, he was clearly stronger than the others around and seemed to be waiting for something. It was possible that either he was responsible for summoning Edward, or knew something about it. Either way he wasn’t going to get any answers by simply standing around and to be honest for the moment he wanted to try his hand at hunting monsters. “I’m guessing you’ve been waiting for me?” Edward said to the man as he looked him over.

[Deleted]

As Edward approached the man, quite a bit could easily be said about him; the man was certainly a veteran of some sort, and leagues ahead of either of the two that had been summoned here just in terms of raw ability alone. He'd been involved in numerous combats in the past, and had the scars to show for it. On his back rested a pair of twin swords; both looked rustic, but like they could absolutely get the job done if need be. All-in-all, he had a rather impressive setup going on. Smiling to himself, he decided to speak. "Greetings," he started with, his voice surprisingly deep, "my name is Fugen. I'm the elder of this village, and yes, it was partially due to my word that you've been brought here. Though, I believe there should've been two of you showing up if I'm not mistaken."

Looking around for a few short moments, Fugen sighed and closed his eyes. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out he was disappointed. "No matter. You've been summoned here today due to necessity; a problem we've been struggling to handle on our own for quite some time. See, we've been struggling to deal with some of the natural life here. Multiple species of various animalistic beasts have been effectively pushing us to wits' end. They've only been growing ever potent and we've little we can do in order to stop their attacks on our own. We've lost quite a fair few in the midst of combat, and we'd like to prevent that from happening again."

As he finished speaking the same girl from before ran up to both Edward and Fugen, tired and out of breath, leaning up against a glaive that she'd just purchased. Fugen simply stared at her disappointed. "Nice of you to finally join us. Back to what I was saying though, we need help from the both of you; I'd like you to work together in order to help deal with these beasts. Naturally, there'll be a reward in it for the both of you, depending on how the two of you do. I'd like to see what you're both capable of against these monsters though. If you head south out of the village and follow the beaten path to the right, you'll find where you're looking to go. Take whatever time you need to get familiarized with each other. I'm hoping for great things from the two of you."

As Fugen finished speaking, Camila turned to Edward and waved her hand, pushing herself up off the glaive. "Uh, heya," she said awkwardly, "looks like we'll be fighting alongside each other for the time being. I'm Camila Adaronde, might I ask your name?" She didn't get good vibes from the man in the slightest, but seeing as she'd be forced to ally with him due to rather... interesting circumstances, she saw no reason not to be at the very least friendly to him. For all she knew they could end up becoming allies somewhere down the line, and she didn't really want to jeopardize that in any way if she could really help it. She'd just hope he'd do the same.

[Edward]

Edward listened to everything that the man had to say. His words confirmed much of what Edward had expected, this world was that of the game Monster Hunter Rise, he along with another had been summoned to help deal with the horde of monsters that if they weren’t dealt with they would wipe out this village. Edward was torn, on one half if the village didn’t have the strength enough to deal with their problem on their own then they deserved to be wiped out. The weak must be culled for the world to be stronger, yet on the other hand he would have the chance to slay beasts that only existed in fantasy. “I can assume that if we don’t help, we’ll be stuck here right?”

Edward was blunt with his question, he figured he knew the answer to the question already. He didn’t like to take order from someone who wasn’t the Emperor, much less a human that dragged him into this world, however being stuck here wouldn’t work for him either. He needed to get back, after all it was Thursday night and the new episodes would be out tomorrow, there was no way in hell he would miss his anime. It was only when the other person spoke to him that he finally bothered looking at them.

Without looking at them Edward already could tell that they were a shingami, not just any shingami, but one with a hollow taint inside of them. “Don’t get in my way filthy half blood.” Edward wasn’t about to play nice with a Vizard just because an old hunter told him to. Edward was a pure blood noble quincy who severed the Emperor with glee, slaughtering shingami and those half breed called vizards was part of his job. Without saying anything else Edward started down the path that Fugen told them about.
