Living in people’s blind spots… they are ayakashi. They are everywhere. From those that hide to those that can fly. I’ve even seen ones that ride on people’s shoulders. Big and small, there are all kinds, but they are all the deceased, the residents of the other world. They cannot be seen by people like us who live in this world. Even though they are so close by. The only ones that can see them are animals and children. And those like me who stand on the border of this world and the other world, people of the boundary. They like depressing atmospheres. They call it gloom. If they gather around you, you fall into a whirlpool of depression.' info prayers missions slots npc bios In order to apply to answer a prayer, you must first meet the prerequisites for the prayer. The requirements listed are what you need to do, both IC and OOC, in order for the prayer to be considered answered. No Longer Valid as of June 21st 2018: Any reward in blue is for gods and rewards in orange are for shinki. Please note that all expiration dates refer to In Character dates. Refer to the calendar if you are uncertain of dates. Pre-Reqs and Results For some general Prayer questions including how to answer prayers with only a Soulless shinki, here is the Prayers FAQ link. Write-up responses (with or without a Soulless shinki) to Prayers and Missions can be made directly to the prayer thread in a comment, or emailed to the mod account with the Prayer/Mission number in the subject line. Minimum follower and exp count requirements for Prayers and Missions use the Total points Comment counts must be met by characters going on the prayer or mission, i.e. the ones mentioned in the comment request for a prayer. Whether it's an NPC joining the thread or another PC character swooping in for a comment or two, none of those comments count towards the minimum required to turn in the prayer. When the Pre-Req is a previous Prayer or Mission, you may respond to the same thread on this page to keep all of the comments in the same chain together. Alternatively, you may reply to the mod post and link back to the previous thread in which the pre-req was approved. You may not request a Prayer or Mission and its Pre-Req at the same time. The Pre-Req must be approved before requesting the follow-up Prayer or Mission. Only one participating character must fulfill the pre-requisite requirements. This means that a god with few followers paired with an experienced shinki, or vice versa a newer shinki paired with an older god, can still take on prayers or missions with a high pre-req follower/exp minimum. When the reward is an item, you may write in your request for the item and the mods will approve it at any point in the prayer/mission thread - either in the initial request or when the reward comment is posted. Alternately, players may simply request that the mods choose their item for them at random - please also put this in a comment to the prayer/mission thread, again at any point. When the reward is a discount on a Regain, only one discount may be applied per Regain. For example, two discounts could be applied to two different Extra Power Regains, or 1 Extra Power and 1 Private Meeting, etc. The different Regains can be included in one comment or multiple. For Missions: Additionally, some of these threads may sound open-ended in their results. That's because when you respond with your thread linked, we will be reading it and then responding with what you find! For NPC interactions (ayakashi or gods), we will expect a link earlier so that the thread can be handed off. The Missions where this is expected can be specially annotated, but at bare minimum the Mission Accepted response will prompt for when we need the thread response comment. When you have completed the OOC and IC requirements for the prayer, you should reply to the comment where you claimed the prayer with a link to the thread where all requirements are met. OOC would be the number of comments and IC would be the goals of the thread, like comfort someone or destroy an ayakashi. IC requirements can be "met" if the thread has hit "forward momentum", i.e. it's an inevitable conclusion that the IC requirement will actually happen. For example: an ayakashi can count as "defeated" if the battle is underway and a bonded god-shinki pair is available to cast Rend. OOC pre-reqs and comment reqs are stricter; pre-requisite threads and minimum follower/exp counts** must be met prior to requesting the prayer/mission, then comment totals must be met during the prayer/mission. Once the prayer is approved by a response from the mod account, the rewards will be granted to your character instantly, meaning they are added to your Follower/Exp Total and Available counts. **So this means that follower/exp minimum Total counts can be met based on the last updated totals from the Monthly Tag Counts plus any prayers/missions completed in the interim timeframe. Each character may take up to THREE prayer or missions at any given time. Once you have fulfilled one of those prayers or missions, you may take on another one. A maximum of FIVE played characters (so not including soulless shinki) can request any given prayer or mission. In order to get credit for any prayer or mission they participate in, any one character must have made at least 3 comments to the thread regardless of comment requirements. For example, 5 characters request a prayer only requiring 10 comments. If they turn the prayer in at 10 comments, only some of the characters - the ones that made 3 comments - will get credit for the prayer, so it'd be better to wait until at least 15 comments, or 3 comments per 5 characters. Mod Roll Note: For prayers requiring a mod d20 roll, the number you need to be rolled is listed (ie "6+" would mean you'd have to roll a 6 or higher). If you would prefer to automatically fail (for development reasons or otherwise), please note so in your comment. Any roll failures will not count towards completing the prayer, but you will not be deducted followers/exp for failing. Slots, Charms, and Failed Rolls The Slots that a character currently has available can be seen on the Slots tab, or on the full google document which includes additional information: The format of the Slots list is "Page # @ Prayer/Mission #" Page # refers to this entry's pages. Prayer/Mission # refers to those on the Prayers & Missions tabs. So "14 @ M05" means Page 14 is where the comment can be found, then searched by character name(s), then looking for the comment for Mission 05. Characters in the same group for a Prayers/Mission request will all have the same format, but it may be in different slots. For instance, Character A may have "14 @ M05" in Slot 1, but Character B may have "14 @ M05" in Slot 2 if their Slot 1 was already filled at the time of the request. Charms have occasionally been rewards for Prayers/Missions. So far, all of them have the same function: when a mod roll results in a failure, the Charm can be invoked (single use) and the Prayer/Mission can proceed as if the mod roll was a success. Failed rolls are documented in the final column. Characters can re-attempt the Prayers/Missions that were failed, just not with the exact same group; at least one additional character must be added / swapped into the group to justify a new attempt.

Choice please but would like to know what the choices are!

[thirdbeauty]

We never got around to finishing this for reasons, so I'm guessing I'm supposed to reply here to cancel? Just want to make sure we don't have slots tied up...

[handsome_genius]

Cancelling this, please and thank you

[listsoffortune]

Hi there! Was there any of the prayer completed that you want to submit for partial credit or would you prefer to cancel it entirely?

[listsoffortune]

Congratulations!

Keith has been awarded 100 exp points.
Yoon has been awarded 100 exp points.

Yoon is now free to answer another prayer.
Keith is now free to answer up to two prayers.

Please also let us know what becomes of the cracked vessel shinki.

[listsoffortune]

Your cancellation has been noted. The characters that accepted the prayer have their slot open again.

[godsoffortune]

In crafting your custom mission, can we get at least a little bit more detail on your goal for the thread or information to convey?

[godsoffortune]

Just for clarity's sake, would you like to adjust the mission so that the characters meet Sotero, or so that it's still information gathering (possibly with any NPC involvement other than Sotero)?

[godsoffortune]

Random Item Choices

1. A pair of Axiomatic Binoculars, which make it easier for Near Shore people to see Far Shore beings, and Far Shore beings to see other Far Shore being through buildings / other physical blockades. Can also be used as a bludgeoning tool to injure Gods.


2. One of the sturdiest Fishing Rods ever, which will never break no matter the size of the catch, even if they are blighted. Ayakashi capable of swimming in ponds/lakes or larger are drawn to it like a moth to a flame.


3. A pair of cordless, bluetooth headphones that - when worn - can break enchantments and charm effects. If placed over the ears of someone already under such a compulsion, it can break the spell so long as the person is wearing it.

[thirdbeauty]

Sadly time got away from us, so nothing came of it. It'd have to be canceled entirely.

[sassywelshcatgirl]

First, a warning that Shizuo is gone and the temple might not be safe any more. (Kind of useless since others have already discovered Votelli there, but Nia doesn't know that.)

Second, a warning that Nia will be assigned a new god who she doesn't know if she can trust, so to hedge her bets she's been named by Goku, who Votelli CAN trust.

Third, getting any information Votelli is willing to give about her own status and who else has been around her. Nia figures that as Votelli's shinki she probably ought to keep up with her!

(Which actually raises the question of how to assume/handwave ongoing interactions between the pair!)

[sing_for_me]

We would like to meet Sotero if that’s okay.

As a side note, i did have a thread with sotero going altho it’s quite some time back, so if the sotero player would prefer we handwave the rest of it Im okay with that. Id just like to know what happens with it or if theyd still like to continue o7

[godsoffortune]

Okay I'll work on getting you a custom mission that will involve Sotero somehow, with a chance to meet him.

In the meantime, if you could link the thread in question so we can figure out handwaving or continuation, we'd appreciate it!

[sing_for_me]

Thank you very much!

And here you go!

You may provide 2 or 3 options if you are concerned that it wouldn't be approved, or we can provide choices for you to select from.

[godsoffortune]

Alright so we have confirmation that we can go either way with the thread. If you're okay with slow tagging it can continue, but if you want a quicker resolution so that you can know more going into this custom mission, we can do that for you as well. Right now it's your preference - to thread or get a written summary. :)

[sing_for_me]

I am a-ok with slow tagging! Just wanted to be sure the mun was still okay with it. Thank you!!

Re: Custom Mission

[sassywelshcatgirl]

Thank you very much, and here you go for a log!

[onedrinkwithme]

It was so hard to choose so I had to coin flip it: Headphones please!

[listsoffortune]

Your cancellation has been noted. The characters that accepted the prayer have their slot open again.

[listsoffortune]

Congratulations! While investigating one of the homes in this mission, Aymeric discovers the pair of headphones along with a handwritten note from the owner, who had been in the process of trying them out and discovering what they could do themselves.
