This has been sitting in TitanPad for a long time, up until the old RP was canceled, so now I believe I should put it for all to see from the start.
The idea for this in the story is that Altara tries to regain her memories, and thus searches the land for anything that seems familiar to her. However, this eventually brings her to the area where she took on her first quest with the player who originally owned her, and she ends up doing the exact same quest all over again...
(Please put any criticism in the main OOC thread, or in TitanPad.)
--The Fallen Star in the Forest--A great light has fallen from the sky into the forests of Crystalden. There seems to be a mysterious power flowing from where it landed, but rogue magicians are closing in on the source of this power. You must kill all of these magicians before they can find the source of this power, so that the fallen star may rejuvinate and return to its rightful place in the sky...
Location: Alde Woods, Crystalden
Objective:- Enter Alde Woods and find the fallen star.
- Kill 3 Unique Enemies (each of these will be styled after the zodiac signs incompatible with the person taking this quest).
- Once you have killed all three of these Unique Enemies, return to the fallen star...
Prerequisites: None, but it is highly recommended you level up as much as possible in your Resistance Stat.
Reward: A special weapon. Its stats and special properties, as well as what kind of weapon it is to begin with, vary depending on the astrological sign of the person who completed the quest. If a party completed the quest, then the received weapon corresponds to the sign of the party leader.
--------------------------------------------
As you can see, there's a lot of variety here. However, I'm sorry to say, our runthrough of this quest assumes the party leader has Taurus as their sign. (Humorously, that means Altara can't lead.) Therefore...
The Unique Enemies you'll be encountering (not giving exact stats now because I simply don't know how strong our party will be in relation):
- Sheratan Magician (Level 15): Specializes in Magic Attack and Speed. Uses fire magic, blasting flames in a 90 degree area in front of himself that reaches up to 5 meters away. The attack isn't very strong, and its damage potential worsens the further away an opponent is, but it inflicts Burn DOT, causing anyone hit by an attack to suffer 20% of the original damage dealt by that attack every 2 seconds for the next 20 seconds. (This Burn DOT stacks each time he hits you, so don't get hit too many times.) Usually runs or dodges rather than defending.
- Kaus Sorceress (Level 15): Specializes in Magic Attack and Resistance. Uses fire magic, hurling fireballs with huge damage potential and a 0.5 meter explosion radius. Each successful attack reduces the Resistance of the people caught in the blast by 10%, though Kaus Sorceress and Sagittarius Soldiers are unaffected by this. Maximum range is 25 meters. Also has a Counter Spike ability, which, when she takes any damage, engulfs the attacker in flames that deal exactly half the damage she took. This cannot be dodged.
- Sadelmelik Warlock (Level 15): Specializes in Magic Attack and Defense. Uses wind magic, throwing up to 8 air blades at opponents in rapid succession. The blades home in on targets, but if they travel more than 15 meters, they will disappear. Their strength is fair, and they have Armor Piercing. Also can hit opponents up to 1 meter away with a palm thrust. It inflicts very little damage, but it inflicts Daze upon the opponent for 5 seconds (prevents them from moving or attacking), and all buffs currently on the target are removed.
Normal enemies:
- Aries Soldier (Level 12): Similar stat distribution to Sheratan Magician, but lower stats overall. Continues to spawn until Sheratan Magician is killed. Attacks using single-target fire magic skills with a range of 8 meters and almost nonexistant cooldown times. (Yes, ironically, Aries Soldiers have better range than Sheratan Magician himself.)
- Sagittarius Soldier (Level 12): Similar stat distribution to Kaus Sorceress, but lower stats overall. Continues to spawn until Kaus Sorceress is killed. Attacks using single-target fire magic skills which deal increased amounts of damage the further they travel--at its maximum range, its power is quadrupled. Max range is 15 meters.
- Aquarius Soldier (Level 12): Similar stat distribution to Sadelmelik Warlock, but lower stats overall. Continues to spawn until Sadelmelik Warlock is killed. Attacks using Area of Effect wind magic--though the damage dealt is rather poor, these wind spells have high amounts of knockback. Max range is 5 meters.
The quest reward: Taurus' Voice, a longsword of green metal. A large peridiot is embedded in its crossguard, with the symbol of Taurus carved upon its facets. It calculates damage using the Magic Attack Stat, so it is meant for Mage characters. To compensate for the average mage build's low strength, the blade is rather light.

Info on the setting...
Alde Woods:A mysterious forest of sequoias, deep in the Sacred Woods of Crystalden. A strong magic presence fills the air, and there appear to be ruins of ancient elven shrines among the tall trees and streams. At night, the leaves on the trees glow brightly with the magic imbued in this land, making it seem as though the whole forest has come to life.
And sometimes, stardust even falls from the sky upon this enchanted grove...
