HWM #1: Fishing in Murky Waters (Closed)

This is part of the HighWater Mark Quest String (HWM)

Hello and thank you for reading. I am called the StoryTeller, nice to be meeting you.

In this Quest String, Cadenza the purple mouse would not be present, and there would be no party leader who would be integral to the quest. Instead, I as a StoryTeller would start a post describing the situations (Cadenza's account would be used), and then the party members would be free to do whatever they want, and if response is needed then response would be given. More explanation would be given when the first quest start. I have not seen a quest in this style done before and I do think it would be worth trying! :-)

Where would your highwater mark be?

Quest Name:
HighWater Mark Chapter 1: Fishing in Murky Waters

Quest Location:
Clock Tower (South Clock Town) - Termina

Quest Goal:
Investigate strange sounds

Quest Description:
A note in Clock Town message board.
"I think I have heard sstrange sounds inside the clock tower. Would you help me investigate? I would be waiting in front of clock tower before seven o'clock in the morning tomorrow"
- a boy wearing a Keaton Mask

Party Size: 3

Difficulty: Easy. However If certain conditions are not met, it would be Impossible.

Quest Failure: Possible

Possible Threats: Keese, Skulltula, (), (), ()
This would be a rather battle and puzzle oriented quest, and I would try to make it fast-paced.

Party Members

Required Character:
+ Someone with the skill "Animal Communication"

• Party Leader: JOSH DRAGONSFLAME
  
• @kieru
  
• Required: OLIVE FYLNWOOD
  

Please note:

+ Required character would be integral to the quest, and the quest would not start without it filled. If there are already three members that sign up when a character with required traits sign up, the last member would have to be replaced with the required one. I am very sorry but it would need to be done if it is needed :-(

+ At present, characters from Skyloft, Great Sea, and Termina would be prioritized. But please also consider how the character would arrive in Termina.

+ Members do not have to follow all the quest string. It would be okay to just participate in one chapter, and new members would be welcomed in every chapter. These quests can actually be treated as separate quest. But perhaps the one with more presence would gain something? :-)

Thank you for reading. We would be looking forward to see you.

Olive mused the sign, she hadn't found much adventure as anticipated since landing on the surface. "Well.. this is a start." She went off to find a place to spend the night.

*OLIVE HAS JOINED THE PARTY as required*

The Adventurer noticed a woman musing over a sign, and as she walked off, he headed over, reading it himself.

"Hmm..." he mused, smirking a bit as he read it. It'd been quite awhile since he had found something good...

"This looks like a good one..." he muttered to himself, planning to take the quest and made plans to contact whoever was needed ASAP.

Josh walked away from the sign, and started asking around about the Keaton Mask Child...

*JOSH HAS JOINED THE PARTY*

Thank you. With one more member this story of bravery and unyielding devotion can get started :-)

Please note that because of the current Winter Wonderland World Event, and to make it easier for people joining this Quest Strings to be able to join Plot Quests also, the timeline of this Quest Strings would be placed long before the World Event, when the terrains are still normal, as seen in Majora's Mask. Hopefully, it would prevent timeline conflict with the actual Plot Quests happening.

Alternatively, you could also place this Quest Line in an alternate timeline of your own character, or in an indeterminate time at all to make timeline conflict much less likely. It would really be up to you, and I would refrain mentioning other plots or events in the story of the Quest String to make it even easier to put them in any time of your character's life.

Thank you.

Although Snowpeak Hotspring might be appropriate for HWM#5 dungeon... :-D

N.B. For JOSH DRAGONSFLAME

The people you asked around did not know a specific child wearing Keaton Mask, because of the current trend of Keaton Mask lately. But an old peddler in The Bazzar said that he knew the boy who put up the sign. He apparently had just bought an old map of Ikana Canyon from the peddler before he put up the sign.

As far as Olive is concerned.. before the snow~

If possible, I would like to reserve a spot! I'm not sure who though, do we have an animal conversationist? That would help me make a decision! >W<

Thank you @ivyadmin . Yes, we did need Animal Conversationist in this Quest, and it would be quite vital for the success of the quest. That was why we put "Required", which at the present has been fulfilled by Olive Flynwood :-)

But we would still need another character to start so please feel free. And please do know that "Required" was designed to give chance rather than to restrict, so two abilities would always be welcomed :-D   Although by the present layout there would not be that many of animal to converse with (this is below Clock Tower after all X-D  )

But we are (I am) very sorry Ivy :-(   At the present we could not afford spot reservation. The first character who applied would be the one who get it. But please be sure that you would be very welcomed :-)

Thank you very much.

A soft landing with her loftwing. Kieru noticed a message, and figured, that, during her day off? She could afford to do this quest! She scribbled her name across the sign up, before nodding happily.

* Kieru has joined the quest!

Thank you very much for everyone that has been willing to participate. HWM#1 Recruitment is closed, and the Quest can be found here

The recruitment for HWM#2: Last Hello, First Goodbye would be opened if HWM#1 is completed successfully.

Thank you :-)  And we wish you good luck for your endeavors.
