Fraag wrote:Job Title: A Song of Utgardr
Rank: A
Job Location: Mt. Hakobe
Group Word Count: 14,000 words
Additional Requirements: Beira and V must participate in this.
Job Description: After getting comfortable settling down in Fiore, Beira suddenly encounters someone with a relic from Utgardr, her homeland, and a book in a strange but somewhat familiar language, leading to some violent tension. Chance provides her an ally in the person of V, who tags along with her to discover some surprising secrets about who Beira truly is, and what she is meant to be, as well as meet some who she never thought to see again. Their path will lead them into an underground war between dark elves and mindflayers, as well as force them to cross paths with the Magic Council.
Enemies: Note that not all the enemies have to be fought, nor does their listing inform of the order in which they will appear.

Cultists
• Enemy Rank: Weak
  Enemy HP: 50 HP
  Fanatic followers of either the Shroud of Orcus, a cult dedicated to the dark elven god of war and death, or the Theorems of Uaggool, dedicated to the mindflayer deity of forbidden knowledge. The cultists are human and weak-willed, and should cultists of the Shroud meet cultists of the Theorems, an inevitable bloodbath must ensue. They do not usually have magic power, but there are one or two of these cultists that can summon, though they have not the power to control their summons, which are often too strong for them.
  
  Magic Council Spies
  
• Enemy Rank: Weak
  Enemy HP: 50 HP
  Magic Council grunts, weak but disciplined. They have infiltrated both dark elven and mindflayer cults, with the aim of gathering knowledge on the cults, and retrieving an ancient artifact in the possession of one of the cults, believed to be a source of great magical power.
  
  Priests
  
• Enemy Rank: Normal
  Enemy HP: 200
  Depending on the cult, either dark elves or mindflayers. They are capable of magic, with the dark elven cult clergy exclusively made of priestesses who use weapon requip or death-themed magics, while the mindflayers (technically sexless) use mental spells. They are often attended to by cultists.
  
  Magic Council Infiltrator
  
• Enemy Rank: Strong
  Enemy HP: 350 HP
  Disguised as a cultist, this fellow is well-trained in the art of espionage, and coordinates the Magic Council spies within the cults. His job is to retrieve an Utgardian artifact held by one of the cults, and present it to the Magic Council. He is ruthless and can sacrifice his entire team to see that the mission is successful. Quite proficient in combat magic.
  
  Abomination of the Deep
  
• Enemy Rank: Boss
  Enemy HP: 450 HP
  The stuff of nightmares, this creature has the head of an angler fish on the body of a humanoid. From its back sprout about a dozen thin but very strong tentacles, and this creature is coated from head to foot in some slimy black substance. It is summoned by cultists of the Theorems who know how to, although it is usually too strong for the cultists to control, and kills its summoner before going on a rampage. It doesn't use magic, but is quite strong, can use its back tentacles, which can extend up to twenty meters, to attack, defend and restrain an opponent. Oh, and it bites.
  
  Aelyd
  
• Enemy Rank: Boss
  Enemy HP: 550 HP
  An ancient dark elf who is the head priestess of the Shroud cult, and who knows Beira quite well. Very conniving and treacherous, she is not one to be trusted. She possesses an Utgardian relic, the Key of Hrim, which serves as a conduit to absorb and focus cosmic energy. Obtaining this relic is the objective of the Magic Council. Aelyd is a very powerful necromancer and illusionist.
  

Reward: A-rank EXP and Jewels, as well as infamy, as word reaches the magic council of the mages' meddling in their plans.
