High Risk Quest #1: The Ghost Signal

Watch on YouTube

Note: Here we go, gamers! The first High Risk Quest for Magisteria. These quests will serve as tiered mini-events which reveal crucial world lore, goings-on, and also tie into the metaplot and the large events. High Risk Quests will trade off in emphasis, meaning tech --> magic --> tech --> magic.

While this quest has seeds for the Tech Path Conflict, it should be noted that it's OTA and also that quite a bit of magic-specific locations/mini-events will open soon. The Magic Path Conflict is brewing in the background and will become more apparent soon, too, so keep one's eyes peeled.

Context & Recap

This quest takes place after The Coffee Shop Mingle, which features NPCs discoursing on the goings-on of High Rise Village. Players are encouraged to look at that.

In the first event, Training in High Rise Village, we learned about a mysterious intruder who infiltrated the Digital Flora Dome and the Neon Nest, two properties belonging to an android named Rosalind Vireo. PCs who restored the properties deciphered a mysterious phrase, "Symphony of Disruption..." Seems portentious! In the above coffee shop mingle, Rosalind speculates as to the possible culprit(s?).

See the plotting post: PCs can go all out with the cyber weapons on this one, in addition to whatever tech or magic they've learned, whatever canon abilities have returned, and Selena and Titan-7 can also be used as weapons (so to speak) or defenses/back-up. Feel free to write interactions with them or them stepping in however. Of course, the main route to success will be PCs supporting other PCs!

He reaches over and rests a hand on the other man's shoulder, channeling some of his healing magic into him. He may not be able to do whatever he did again, but Libra wanted him to be able to get away if he needed.

"Is there a way I can give you any of mine?" If he had any, that is. Sure, Emet-Selch had taught him about his magic, but he didn't know if things crossed between worlds.

He exhales shakily. Their healing magicks enable him to stagger upright again but even as they're speaking the Grimm, too, is recovering.

"I daresay it would take everything you have," he replies roughly. "And I dare not repeat such a crippling spell if I cannot be sure of this thing's obliteration."

Who would have expected it to resurrect itself?! Emet-Selch grits his teeth as he makes a grab for Libra's wrist.

"I can take enough to buy you time to leave."
