Quest: Join The Monster Alliance for
Difficulty: F
You can join the Monster Alliance and fight for the oppressed.
If you choose to do so, you can receive exclusive quests from the Monster Alliance.
“Sound good to me.” Dali said. “What do you guys think?”
“Betraying all human races? I dunno.” said Rell.
“Yes.” Aesh agreed immediately.
“Definitely yes.” Aurora added.
“What have they done for us anyway?” asked Paella.
“Alright. If you guys want to.”
“Good.”
They turned and looked at the monster talking to them for the first time.
He towered above them even though he was sitting down.
He was vaguely reptilian, with dark green scales, and his eyes were glazed over like those of a beast.
“My people have been driven out of our lands by your people’s growing kingdoms. We sought at first to fight and die, or perhaps just manage to find somewhere to live. However, as we went, we found more monsters who joined us. Now we seek to create a kingdom for all the monsters under our rule.”
“Of course, we know you as traitors already. Therefore, I will assign you a test. Each of you will be assigned a noble who has been, shall we say, active in our troubles. You must kill the noble assigned you and return without being identified with the crime. Do you accept?”
Quest: Kill a Noble
Difficulty: D
Kill a noble assigned by the monster king.
Return to the king without being found out.
They were each assigned a noble.
“Do you really think we can kill them so easily?” Rell asked.
“Why not?” asked Dali.
“I mean, they’re bound to have security of some sort.”
“We can get around it.”
“How? You may have gotten your weird thief class but the rest of us don’t have that kind of ability.”
“Look, it’s not all about skills. If you avoid the guards, they can’t catch you no matter what. This sort of thing is less about sneaking than observation.”
“So we should learn their patterns?”
“Exactly.”
At that moment, a monster walked up to them.
“On the request of the king, I am making a delivery. I am delivering these masks. These masks are to be worn by each of you. While you wear them, you will do the killings. After the killings, you will put these masks on the corpses. The corpses shall be found with the masks. The masks will send a message. The message relies on you killing your targets in a specific order. You must do so.”
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
They looked at the masks.
“These are pretty cool.
“Are these supposed to spell something? Or is that a coincidence.”
“It’s obviously intentional.”
“But they don’t make a word.”
“Yes. They do.”
“That’s not a word.”
“Do you even own a dictionary? Any books at all?”
“Look. Let’s just go in order and whatnot.”
“Fine. The cue will be hearing of the previous one’s success.”
“What if they fail.”
“Then I guess we come back for new instructions?”
“Just don’t fail.”
“Alright.”
“So Rell goes first?”
“Looks like it.”
And so our brave heroes split up.
They split up so they could better carry out political assassinations.
I think it’s time to take back the “heroes”.
And the “brave”.
Rell was first, as our cunning villains-
Rell was first.
Then came Dali, then Aurora, followed by Aesh and Paella.
Dali was nervous, waiting for the signal from Rell.
If any one of them failed, they would all fail.
Simply put, the pressure was getting to him.
You don’t think he’ll make it?
“We’re all going to make it.” he growled.
Then why are you worried?
“I’m not.”
Right.
“Do you want something, or are you just here to bother me?”
Maybe the thing I want is to bother you.
“Is there a way to block you?”
Of course not. How do you think insanity works?
He was asking around for news when he heard it.
“Did you hear that an elf noble was found killed recently?”
He smiled slightly.
“Is that so? Tell me more.”
