Missions & Bounties

Overview
These are jobs given by (or merely processed and approved by) High Command for the people of Fort Elder Drake to take on.

If one of your characters takes on a mission, a channel will be created for the task and someone will help by playing 'Dungeon Master' (Dungeons and Dragons style, minus the dice :P) to guide your character through the story. Once completed, your character will receive loot equivalent to the difficulty and demands of the job, and the thread/channel will be archived.

Difficulty Ranking
Bounties and Missions may be classified in terms of difficulty (from lowest to highest: E-Rank, D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank, A-Rank, S-Rank). The higher the difficulty, the harder things will be, and the higher the likelihood of failure for even the strongest, most intelligent Bounty takers. That said, if completed, the higher-ranked Bounties and Missions will yield greater rewards!

Rank E
These barely count as missions. These always take place within Fort Elder Drake, and might be anything from washing dishes, babysitting, mowing a lawn, etc.

Rank D
The second easiest of all missions. These missions usually require physical labor and consist of mundane jobs such as the finding lost animals or items of little value. These missions usually take place within Fort Elder Drake and will never carry any possible danger.

Rank C
These missions usually involve the escorting people or objects, finding lost items in places other than your respective town. Delivering packages to distant places are usually counted as C rank missions as well. These missions may possibly be dangerous.

Rank B
Defending someone or something important, carrying important stuff or the assassination of weak or unprotected person(s) are missions of this rank. Because of this, the risk of a confrontation, and getting killed, are very high on this kind of missions.

Rank A
Invasion, protecting Fort Elder Drake from invasions, the assassination of powerful people, covert operations of high risk, are A Rank. The risk of death on these missions are extremely high.

Rank S
These missions tend to be urgent missions of great danger or matters of world importance. They range from assassination of people of world importance, to performing actions that could turn a situation upside down for a large faction or even Country, these missions tend to be almost impossible to be done and thus are extremely rare. Failure of such mission will usually mean death to those who have taken up the mission.

Warning
It's better to err on the side of caution for risky missions, both in accepting them, AND in performing them. You don't want to wind up dead, after all. It also helps to travel in parties of multiple people, though you then have to split the reward(s) with them.... if it's a dangerous one, you might prefer to split the reward than die!

Rankings
These are the rankings for individuals who are regular Bounty and Mission takers.
