erik_3e said:I think I have a new quest.
You find a man in a tavern, the man tells you that he needs to go to a spesific town where he have a friend/relative that is sic and that he need to atend to. Wold only make you go to towns in the vicinity as it wold be ulikely that a man you meet in Paris have a relative in Jerusalem that he heard of where sic(takes a while for the mail to arive) so he wold go to a town close to the town where the quest was given.
Reson he asks you is that the man thinks there is to dangerus to travel on the road alone so he seeks shelter in your party.
Payment would consist of 100 denars? and a small relation boos with the 2 towns. EDIT: mabe also a small honor boost?
Quest is mainly for players in the begining of the game looking for gold where ever they might find it.
Woolridge said:Perhaps that could be added as a new dialogue option for the "traveller" character that appears in tavers from time to time and sells information about companions and claimants... It would make him a *little* more interesting.
Aliksander said:Quest type: General Lord quest similar to the guild master quest.
A lord sends you to find a rare item as a gift or for a feast. A western lord might ask for a rare (in western Europe) eastern food like dates or cinnamon, or possibly silk for a garment. An Eastern lord might ask for English Wool or strong lumber or steel. Perhaps some eastern lords might ask you to sneak them some French wine (seeing as how Muslims are not supposed to drink).
Seeing as how the guild master quest would give you lots of money, this mission should give more relationship boost with little monetary gain.

Could work, again the problem is the distances vs worth. I don't know any people who do the "deliver cattle to a town 1000 years away" quests, but I sure as hell don't, which I doubt anyone will do on a map that's 5x bigger than the last one. In all I think that the quest just wouldn't be good to make because nobody would play it.

Let me know when you figure something out

Well maybe you can make the reward somewhat unique. For example, doing this quest might make the lord more amenable to accepting you as a consort for his daughter, or he offers to speak on your behalf to get you into a tournament circuit team in his country you don't yet qualify for.
Or he spreads the word about how good you are at getting goods from abroad (raising your trading skill). I know I would do this quest for a free skill point.
Chusquero said:I have an idea for a quest given by a city guildmaster: Exploit the market.
Explanation and background: All is about control the market of a certain product (like companies does with gold, diamond or even petrol) by having a lot of this product stored, so the few of them that you sell will cost more.
This kind of mission could have and extra dificult to do, because each city should have only few products to control (for example, north europe cities wont ask you to bring them X olives).
Conversation draft:
- You ask a guildmaster for a job.
- The guildmaster tells you 'one page' about the city productions / actual markets.
- In the second page he ask you to bring a lot, and I mean A LOT, of a certain product. Obviously you can chose the way you get them (razing, buying, robbing).
Possible rewards:
- The guildmaster tells you that your efforts are well recognised by the merchants and they will use them to the good of the city's people, then you can choose: The usual money + X reputation; Get the reputation one and a half times, with no money.
- Also the lord of the city may look good in your acts (so he will have higher income), or may look at you like an outsider trying to get the people's aid (so he'll send an assasin after you, or just drop his relationship... actually, both of them are cool ).
Chusquero said:You are right I left my mind fly a bit. Anyway this is a brainstorm, isn't? hehe.
Chusquero said:- Another mission given by your king: Preventive measures.
Explanation and background:
The king isn't happy with the rising power of one of his lords, so he calls you to set an ambush over the patrols controled by this dangerous lord.
The game can generate few patrols rolling close to the castles owned by the lord, also if the lord are close to the battle you'll have to fight with him too.
The thing I'm not clear is if this mission should kick the relation with the kingdom a bit, or rise it because your're following kings orders.
Conversation draft:
- You ask the king for a job.
- The king tells you 'one page' about the most powerful lords in the kingdom. And that one certain lords has not respected the maximum troops allowed to him. (King is upset and quite scared).
- In the second page he ask you to remember to a lord that the king's words are law.
- Maybe you can go and tell all to the lord? Isn't historically acurate to start a revolution?

His daughter in exchange for silk or wine? Really?

Ummm.... I didn't say that. I said he would be more amenable, as in if before the quest he said 'no friggin way', afterwards he would say, 'if I can't even get the local butcher to marry her then you'd be next in line!'. If before your chance of him agreeing were 5% now it would be 10%. Not that he would GIVE you his daughter just for running an errand. Besides I gave other options (like the trading skill point) that would certainly make sense.
