Quest: Lamian Scales On The Outside, But A Grimoire Heart On The Inside

Rank: C

Type: Bad

Requirements:

User: Maarschalk

Client:

Icarus: Icarus is the second in command for the guild Grimoire Heart. Some believe him to be the true mastermind, and that there is no true Guild Master at all. Icarus is calculating, powerful, and seemingly in complete control over his emotions. He expects perfection, though even when his followers fail it all seems to be within his plans.

Summary: The powerful value the powerful. While many choose to stand alone on the peak, the recognition of others who are well on their way is a timeless form of respect. Grimoire Heart is a gathering of both those who have achieved their potential, and those whose potential have been seen. Most recruitment has been done through other members, with those who lead this dark guild rarely moving to bring in others. Pawns are pawns, and regardless of how they're achieved, the movements they make are well known, and well calculated.

Occasionally, however, there comes the discovery of a new piece. A knight, a bishop, a castle or even a queen are incredibly valuable, and in this case, searched for pieces. The forefront of the grand scheme, those who possess both the power to step onto the board and control, and those with the potential to grow even further. When these pieces have been discovered, Icarus will often act independently to secure them as part of the guild.

The powerful do indeed recognize those who are similar. They have finally found a new piece, after years of waiting and preparation. The first victor of the Martial Arts Tournament. How he will play into the grand scheme, only a very few will know. How he will react to this offer, only Maarschalk himself can be sure of. There is only one thing that is known for certain.

Maarschalk will be forced to walk into the darkness, and cast away his home, if he wishes to take this chance to grow.

Others: None

Objective: Become a double agent for Grimoire Heart, remaining within Lamia Scale despite becoming a true member of the dark guild.

Extra Rewards:

+5 Strength
+5 Endurance
+5 Speed

Details:

Create a topic in Oak Town, specifically in the Oak Streets. If you are not already there, you will need to travel.
You will be roaming the streets, for what reason only you truly know. However, as you roam them, you realize that the bustling town has become empty. It is only midday! What could be the reason?
A man shall appear before you with a mask. He neither approached nor leaped down, he was merely there. He will urge you to follow him through a series of empty alleys and streets. You will not have the ability to turn him down.
You will conclude your journey with this man at a small common wares store. Stepping inside, the clerk will be apparently asleep. Following this masked man, you will step into a back room, and then through a hidden door that will lead you into a basement.
Once in the basement, the masked man will finally give you a proper explanation. His name is Icarus. He is the second in command for the dark guild Grimoire Heart. You have been scouted, due to your victory in the Martial Arts Tournament, to become an important part of Grimoire Heart. You are urged to accept, but the choice is yours.
You will then have to decide between your two choices. First choice; You become a double agent for Grimoire Heart. You will gather intelligence about Lamia Scale, its members, its actions and its leader. Any extra information you can gain about other guilds, you will do so. This information will be shared with Grimoire Heart. You will remain Lamia Scale colored until you officially switch to Grimoire Heart, though you will still truly be a member of the dark guild. This will give you Lamia Scale perks until you actually switch, but once you officially switch you will have to flee to wherever the Grimoire Heart ship is located. If you choose to accept, you will be given a mask that can serve to help hide your identity if you're snooping around your guild. That is the extent of the help that is offered to do your job with them.
If you do not wish to accept this offer, you will be immediately rendered unconscious. You will wake up outside of the shop, the shop destroyed, and you will receive full blame for the damage. You will, however, still be a member of Lamia Scale. You will never have the option to join Grimoire Heart again.
The topic will be done after either choosing to accept being a double agent, or denying it. If you accept, Icarus will explain what you are to do. This will be reconnaissance until you're officially called back to the dark guild (or are caught in the act and forced to flee). If you deny it, the aforementioned actions will take place.
If Maarschalk accepts becoming a double agent, he will be given two things. The first is a potion that will open up previously closed magical ducts within his body, opening up his overall potential (giving the stat bonuses listed for the quest). Second, Icarus will cast a spell on him that will allow for Icarus to establish telepathic communication with Maarschalk at any given time, even in magic restricted zones.
