- Quest: Experimental Hexes
Rank: D
Type: Bad
Requirements: None
Client:
Dr. Stephan Mabuz: Dr. Stephan Mabuz runs a quaint little magic shop nestled in the streets of Oak. Though it doesn't receive much traffic, Stephan isn't worried; his real business comes from his underground dealings of illicit magical items. Poisons, hexes, and whatever else a dark mage might need, the good doctor has it - for a price.
Summary: Dr. Stephan Mabuz wishes to have some new hexes he has created be tested. He obviously doesn’t have the time to wander around the city using magic on people, so he tasks his favorite clients to do the filthy acts for a reasonable price. There are two hexes he wishes to be tested, and you must try each of them out on a different person.
Enemies: None
Objective: Test the hexes, report back.
Details:
Create a topic in Oak Streets, with the paper with hexes on them with you.
You have two hexes given to you by Dr. Steven: On a piece of paper, the words imbued with the hex is written, when spoken out loud it will be cast on a target the reader envisions. After it is cast, the word fades away.
The first one is called "Stimuli" and is supposed to make the body extremely sensitive to stimuli for an hour, when cast on a pedestrian they are shown to be visibly uncomfortable, thus, the hex is successful.
The second one is called "Decrepify" and is supposed to stop someone's legs from functioning for an hour, when cast on a pedestrian they are shown to only gain a noticeable limp, thus, the hex was only partially successful.
Report back these results to Stephan, and he will pay you what is due.
This particular job was out of the ordinary. Instead of the usual mob-like things, Hassan was given an assignment by some sort of charm maker. Stephan Mabuz ran a shop in Oak town, but the rumors went about in regards to what he was really into. In the eyes of others, he didn't seem like such a good guy. He was a man that was willing to do anything to get the results of his experimentation. To Hassan, he was more or less the man's next paycheck. After a small meet, Hassan was given a pair of paper hexes and a set of instructions as to how he would be able to activate them. The targets in question were located in Oak town, or anyone who fits the bill as a good target for the hexes would do the trick. Dr. Mabuz made it seem like it was indiscriminate besides focusing the magic on the hexes and having the target of the magic in mind.
"Now to find a good target, he did say that any old pedestrian would do the trick for the first one. "
As Hassan continued to casually walk the streets of the oak town he managed to meet a pedestrian that bumped into someone and tumbled to the ground. As soon as he got up, he started yelling about suing in regards to getting hurt and whatnot, but he seemed fine.
"How about this....."Stimuli"
After uttering the name of the word that disappeared from the hex paper and focusing it on the man who was acting rather irate, he started to notice an immediate change in the man. Regardless of whether he was acting or not originally from the minor tumble that he took, the sudden increase of stimuli made him ask for someone to call a hospital.
