Questing

Cave Spelunking

While most materials nowadays can be produced without the need to take from nature, ores remain as an exception to that. How do you handle the caves? Are you fascinated by the various life forms living underground? Or terrified by the claustrophobic tunnels and creepy crawlers? Do you take your time or try to get the job done as quickly as possible?

When it Rains, it Pours

Weather  is usually no big problem but when you’re travelling through difficult terrain, even a little bit of rain, snow or sand can make an easy trek become dangerous. Where were you when the weather caught you unexpectedly? Do you wait it out or push through, risking your life in favor of getting through it faster? Unless, it wasn’t so unexpected…

LOOT POOL:
Water, Sand, Wood Pieces, Cloak 

Art Gallery

One of the most profound ways of understanding each other comes through art. That is why The Academy of Arcane decided to host an art gallery with artwork made by both humanoids and kai, to bring more understanding to the lives of different species. Are you going to contribute your own work? Are you there just to look around? Maybe you participated in a competition or you’re only there to buy shiny trinkets.

LOOT POOL:

Ribbon Band, Paint Dye, Paint Palette

Tiny Chef

Big bustling cities require big bustling taverns to feed all the travelers coming through, but when the kitchen is understaffed, anyone will make for a good enough chef! Even furry paws or hooves. How does your kai move through the kitchen? Are they knowledgeable enough to make proper dishes? Do they even know how to hold the utensils? Or maybe their secret talent was cooking all along.

LOOT POOL:

Spices, Flour, Potatoes, Mortar & Pestle

Fight, Flight, Freeze

While Humanoids like to handle their disputes with words, Kai usually prefer to settle the score in more traditional ways, even those living in “civilized society”. Not all, however. How did your kai find themselves in the middle of conflict? Are they able to handle the Kai way of doing things? Or perhaps they don’t like any form of conflict and run away instead.

LOOT POOL:

Lost Limb, Feather, Venom, Acid

Fleabitten

Living the life of a Kai, sometimes they encounter small passengers, that aren't always welcomed. What kind of insect do they encounter, and do they get rid of it? Do they run from a swarm of bees, or befriend a mantis sitting on their back?

LOOT POOL:
Honey, Bee, Ant, Butterfly, Firefly, Scorpion

Unexpected Rescue

With the last thing they remember being the blurred shape of the ground as they succumbed to unconsciousness, your handler wakes up to find themselves deep inside the den of wild kai, having been saved from death. But they’re deeply wounded and need to spend some more time healing before they can go home. What does your handler do with being surrounded by wild kai? Are they able to keep out of trouble until they can leave? Do they attempt to show gratitude? Maybe they do not struggle at all, already familiar with life in the wilderness.

LOOT POOL: 

Meat, Fangs, Claws, Battle Trophy

The Rich, The Strong, The Poor

As the sun falls upon the academy, it illuminates the students’ figures looking down from the tall building at the city below. Is your character a student as well? Did they earn their place through hard work or hard gold? Or maybe, they have nothing to do with the academy at all, instead being content with the humble life of a common worker.

Artist Workshop

Your Handler finds themselves in a small village, staying with a kind shop owner. One afternoon, they invite you to join them in their workshop, showing you their tools and craft. Your handler can try their hand at some work too, or do they just want to watch the owner working, or take a look around?

LOOT POOL:
Carving Tool, Jewelry, Natural Jewelry

First Encounter

Resting by a campfire during one chilly night of travel, you and your companion recount the memory of how you met. How did that day go down again? Was it an organized event that brought you together? Or an unfortunate encounter? Maybe you did not get along at first, but had to collaborate for other reasons, then ended up bonding as time went on.

LOOT POOL:

Marshmallow, Wild Berry, Charcoal

Potato or Tomato?

Different species means different language and different customs. With this kind of setup, miscommunication is bound to happen. How do your kai and handler work through these differences? Did they create their own system of communication? Did they spend a long time understanding the other’s behavior? Perhaps they have yet to learn and it ends up creating funny misunderstandings, or they stumble during battle.

LOOT POOL:
Small Health Potion, Weapon (Bone, Antler, Skeletal), Armor (Pelt, Skeletal, Scale)

Farming the Farms

Your Kai and Handler pass by a farm, an ancient looking man approaching them. He asks for help on his farm, a pesky fox terrorizing his lifestock, and your Kai looks like a perfect fit to get rid of it. How will they help? Will they set traps, chase the fox down, or befriend the farm animals?

LOOT POOL:
Eggs, Milk, Familiar: Chicken, Cow, Fox

Gretel the Witch

While passing through the Dead Mage’s Forest, you pass by a shabby hut with strange engravings on the wooden walls and various skulls decorating the railing on the porch. Just as you’re about to leave, an old lady approaches you from behind and invites you inside for a cup of warm tea and drags you inside before you can refuse. How does the encounter go down? Do you get cold feet and run away before any more words are exchanged? Do you stick around? Maybe if you are nice enough, the witch will also read your future.

LOOT POOL:

Medicinal Herbs, Bones, Strong Bones, Arcane Mushroom, Gemstones

Hitch Hiker

During a nightly travel, a stranger on a cart pulled by a horse offered to take you along until your paths diverge. Thinking it to be a gesture of purity you accept. But now you have second thoughts as the path around you twists in unimaginable ways and you find yourself somehow in an abandoned village, the stranger and horse nowhere to be seen but the cart weirdly still under you. Looking around, you feel the spirits of whatever villagers used to live here, still trapped. Perhaps this is why the old man brought you here. Are you going to try and put these spirits to rest? Are you curious about how they ended up this way? Or maybe you are terrified and instead try to leave as fast as you can.

LOOT POOL:

Bones, Luminescent Mushroom, Cloth, Glass Chunk, Bitter Herbs

Call to The Unknown

It is well known by now that nobody can leave Ryukoon and the outside world might not even be real, but that doesn’t stop stubborn adventurers from trying to leave the islands. Are you one such adventurer? If yes, do you attempt to travel by air, water or some other means? What happens when your path inevitably crosses with one of the creatures guarding the border?

Or maybe you do not have any desire to leave, but know someone who does. Would you stop that person? Or would you be ready to fish them out of the ocean later?

LOOT POOL:

Wood Piece, Shark Teeth, Hard Scale, Glass Chunk

Time Off

After every fierce battle there comes the time for recovery. Regardless of if you won or lost, your wounds cut deep and need proper care and attention. But are you one to take breaks? Or do you march through life in spite of your cuts and bruises, until the day your body forces you to stop and rest?

LOOT POOL:

Random Consumable (Any Kind)

Cursed Mirror

On their journey your Kai/Handler find themselves walking thru a town ruin. The place was creepy enough during the day, but as time falls, the ruins become scarier and scarier.

What does your Kai/Handler see in the Mirror and why was it calling to them?

LOOT POOL:

The Haunted Shrine

While traveling thru the forest, finding shelter for the night, your Kai/Handler stumbles across an abandonent shrine. It looks run down and like it is about to collaps, but it is better than nothing, especially with the weather turning to the worse.

How does their night goes for them?

A Helping Hand

It had been a bad day for your Kai for sure. One moment they were happily traveling, the next they were rolling down a ditch and thru a patch of bramble and burdock. Now their fur is tangled, with the pesty little plants stuck to them.
Just as they are loosing their patience trying to pick them out, a friendly humanoid comes by, offering a helping hand and a comb. 
Does your Kai just need a brushing, or does some fur need to go together with the burdock.  Are they fine otherwise, or did they need patching up from the bramble as well.

LOOT POOL:

Fire Bird

As your Kai walks thru a dark forest, the moon and stars barely visible thru the canopy, they suddenly hear a birds call they have never heard before. Their curiosity piqued, they follow the sound, only to catch a glimpse of glowing red and a rustle of feathers. Do they chase after the phoenix, trying to get a better look, or are they content with looking for dropped feathers.

LOOT POOL:

Feathered Thief

Wandering thru empty roads, your Kai suddenly sees something sparkly ahead; a gold coin! How lucky! Excited, they run up to it, but just before they can reach it, something black zips by, snatching the precious coin before your Kai could. The creature flies up, landing on a tree, revealing to be a corvid of some sorts, cawing at the Kai in mockery.
What will you Kai do? Try to chase down the bird to claim their prize, or ignore the little thief, it was just a single coin after all.

LOOT POOL:
Familiar: Raven, 100 Gold Coins, Feathers

Night at the Graveyard

Your Kai knows they should have never taken this dare, but here they are, at the entrance to an old graveyard, in the middle of the night. It looks as creepy as everyone says, and they aren't looking forward to crossing it once before returning home.
How does the dare go? Does your Kai bravely walk thru the graveyard with any issues? Are they scared? Do they encounter something supernatural?

Irresistible!

Their stomach growling, your Kai wanders thru a town, when the smell of something delicious catches their attention. Sniffing the air, they follow the smell, until they spot a food booth, grilling meats. Your Kai's mouth water, as their stomach makes a pleading noise.

The King of Mushrooms

After a strong storm, the forests become much more lively, now mushrooms growing everywhere between the grass and moss. But as your handler tries to pick a tasty-looking mushroom, it suddenly moves and confesses its love to them! How does your handler react? Do they politely refuse the king of mushrooms? Or do they pass this as a prank and pick him up anyways to use in a stew?

LOOT POOL:
Mushrooms, Luminescent Mushroom, Arcane Mushroom 

Animal Shelter

Sometimes your Handler longs for the companionship of something more... small and fluffy. Determined, they visit a shelter, able to play with some dogs, and cuddle some kittens. Are they satisfied with that, offer a hand in voluntieering, or bring a new companion home?

LOOT POOL:
Companion Adoption Certificate, Insect Friend, Familiar: Hound, Meat

The Masquerade

A brewing storm forces your handler to seek shelter, and what they find is an old mansion. The owner is weird, but welcoming, telling them they aren't the only guest he expects tonight. More and more people arrive, wearing festive gowns and masks, filling the large main room, as glasses with drinks are passed around by servers.
Will your handler stay and enjoy the party? Or is this place too fishy, and they quietly sneak away.

LOOT POOL:
Suspicious Wine, Spicy Food, Honey

A Danger to the Town

Whilst passing a small town, the villagers ask your Handler for help. A large bear is terrorizing them for weeks now, coming at night, killing anyone that is still out. They had tried to deal with the bear themselves, but to no avail.

Your Kai and Handler had encountered many things in their lives, but a cloaked stranger sitting at the side of the road, promising a potion that will make them immortal was a first. Looking up and down the road, they wonder if this was some sort of prank, as the stranger beckons them closer.
Do they approach the stranger, or turn and run, not wanting to risk it?

LOOT POOL:

Abandoned Mines

Buying a treasure map from a sketchy stranger at a cross road usually would be a bad idea, but this time it actually led your Handler and Kai up into the mountains, and to the entrance to a long forgotten mine. Peering down the dark tunnel, the two look at each other before stepping in. The air is thick with dust, and an eerie hum echoes thru the branching tunnels.
Do they find treasure, or something more sinister?

The hunters guild had posted a reward, for the person who can kill the snake living in the bay, but they must have forgotten to mention how large the monster was.
