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 No Longer Valid as of June 21st 2018: Any reward in blue is for gods and rewards in orange are for shinki.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.

Bayek’s player would like to take part and I have informed them that we’re trying to go a bit faster with it, and he’s cool with that.

So if that’s okay...

Do we keep it as before with checking abandoned temple are and bumping into him? Although what with all the info sharing, she might be really seeking sotero out now to check on him.

[veiledflame]

That's fine then.

Also: You can play with Alex's motivation a little bit if you'd like, but this should be the first time he's been discovered in the Far Shore ever since the Volcano incident, so I was trying to let her accidentally find him.

Context for ^^^

[godsoffortune]

This would relate to the timeline of this happening. Soon after April 2nd he'd be in the Far Shore, so that was the original intention of this mission. If Bayek is coming, I know it would have to be more recent than that, so it changes the context of the mission significantly. (April 22nd was Bayek's arrival.) I can still work with it, but either way Sotero hasn't normally been in the Far Shore for anyone to randomly stumble across until recently.

Cancelling this one please. Marinette and Forrest dropped and we only got 4/15 comments in, so there's just no salvaging it.

Please respond here when you have completed the task requested of you with a link to it.

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

And here we go, four babysat children, many tiny ayakashi defeated, one dramatically exhausted god and a traumatised shinki later we have finished the prayer!

As for an item, how about a wooden trinket left at one of her shrines? Nia'd like something of sentimental value like that.

[pure_radiantics]

Link here!

Re: Mission complete!

[listsoffortune]

Congratulations!

Nia has been awarded 25 exp points. She will also receive a charm from Votelli--however, as we are no longer doing rolls, the charm will eventually be converted into something else in the future.

For the random item, you can choose from one of the following options:

1) You give us 3 options and we tell you which ones are a no-go, then you pick from the remaining options
2) You ask us to give 3 options, and you pick 1 from that
