Solo Word Count: 500

Additional Requirements: Must be a Dies Irae member.
Job Description: While traveling and performing various Dies Irae tasks, you start hearing whispers of a rising dark power from seemingly every dubious corner. The first couple dark mages muttering what seemed to be nonsensical threats of retaliation from a dark power coming for Fiore were easy to shake off, but now it’s starting to gain some traction. It can’t be a coincidence that so many all over Earthland would repeat such identical rumors. While starting to track these whispers and put fact to them, you come across a particularly shady looking mage carrying a box of supplies toward a haunted castle in the woods. Rarely is it a good sign when someone in a black cloak is skulking under the cover of darkness, so you follow them. They lead you to a gathering of other cloaked figures along the seashore, loading a ship with tons of rations and weapons. Be it through mercy or dying breaths, surely one of these figures will crack and give you a bit more info about what’s going on here.

☩Enemies: x5 Dark Grunts☩ Enemy Rank: Weak☩ Enemy Stats: These are cloaked grunts that believe in the cause but otherwise lack the skill to be useful in any way other than to collect and transport supplies. Magic is customizable and equal to average D rank stats.

☩Enemies: Ship Captain☩ Enemy Rank: Normal☩ Enemy Stats: He’s providing the transportation as well as acting as the official liaison between the the rumoured haven and the grunts. He won’t talk, no matter what you do. Magic is customizable and to average C rank stats.

Reward: D rank exp. Helga in payroll will give you 5k as a reward, even though there’s obviously more to be done. One of the cloaked figures gives you a cryptic clue about a dark mage’s haven forming somewhere out at sea. You gain access to the stocked ship the dark mages had hoped to take and the next job, their tattered cloaks, the coordinates they were going to use, and access to the next job “Crusade: The Graveyard Sea”.
