Objective: Get rid of the haunting spectres
Location: Any
Reward: 500 ryo
Mission Description: An influential presence is aware of your existence and desires to see it extinguished.
Mission Details: 2500 wc
Stronger than mere spectres, whatever presence is out to snuff your life has send in heavier units this time. Revenants, while far and few in existence, never truly die. Upon dispersion, it is only a matter of time before they return to existence where they were dispersed. Being good fighters and eternally bound to return to the battlefield, these creatures are easily one of the most dangerous spirits the Otherworld knows. Two spectres have found you this time. Defeat them (for now...) and continue on your road.

Name: Revenant Wraith
Age: ??
General Appearance: [x]
Personality: Deranged, driven, relentless, undead.
Goals: Revenant - "a person who has returned". Some spectres simply do not seek salvation nor death. They simply are, their only desire to remain and return. Over. And over. And over again.
Abilities:
Strength: B-3, Endurance: B-2, Speed: B-0, Perception: B-0, Reaction: B-2
A rank bukijutsu, fuinjutsu. A rank Hyouton, Fuuton, Suiton

Mission name: Breath of Winter
Mission rank: B
Objective: One of the Sourcerer of Pestilence's minions cursed you. Find her and undo the curse you're suffering from.
Location: Any
Reward: 500 ryo

Mission Description: Every participant has been cursed and suffers a growing sickness that imposes a -1 tier penalty to their stats across the board, as well as limiting them in using jutsu - they only have access to techniques up to their own shinobi rank (B rank shinobi can use up to B rank jutsu). How or when this curse was applied remains the question, but the chakra used for this leaves no doubt - only one person in the underground is known to deal in the arts of vodun to such a degree: Nimhain. Track her down and force her to undo the curse that debilitates you.

Successfully removing the curse requires one to do one of the following:
- Persuade Nimhain to undo the ritual
- Kill Nimhain, but have jutsu of a rank higher than your shinobi rank be sealed permanently.

Mission Details: 2500 wc
The curse came into existence since Nimhain is in possession of your DNA, given to her by attackers, thieves, messengers... Through a dark and taxing ritual, an effigy has been combined with that DNA, Nimhain's chakra and her own Hiden jutsu, causing the curse to grab hold of you until undone.

Hidden in a dark alcove, Nimhain is not easily found. Aside from having to navigate the black market, one will be dissuaded from reaching her on several occasions - kindly, or with force (a total of 5 people, B-0 stats). Should the shinobi surpass this, they will need B-0 perception and Genjutsu Kai (or an appropriate sensory technique) to dispel the chakra that hides her alcove from sight.

Name: Yobadashi Niamhain
Age: 63
General Appearance: [x]
Personality: Niamhain is an older woman who enjoys her art to its fullest rather than being inherently evil. For the right price, she performs vodun rituals on a target of choice to either grant them boons or make them suffer ill fortune. Her old age makes her unfit for combat, so despite having B-0 stats she is not inclined to pursue such a path. However, old women are stubborn and know what they want. Indulge her request and she'll undo the curse without complaint.
Goals: Doing her job :3
Abilities: A rank Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu & Iryojutsu
Items: A ritualistic dagger, plenty of needles and effigies.

Mission name: Gate to the Otherworld
Mission rank: B
Objective: Open the Gate to the Otherworld
Location: Any wilderness
Reward: 500 ryo

Mission Description: Circles of standing stones have always kindled the imagination of visitors, but occultists know that the silent thrum of their natural chakra is actually the dormant pathway to the Otherworld. Unfortunately, lost are the secrets to open this Gate. Through meditation you must rediscover the Seals and unseal the gate that allows the living into the Otherworld.

Mission Details: 2500 wc, requires B+ rank Fuinjutsu to Unseal
While the Fuinjutsu Specialist meditates to discover the lost Seals, he will be assaulted by spectres that will try to prevent him from maintaining his meditation. Each round, five spectres will appear to disturb the meditation. While clones may be a temporary solution, having a couple of battle-ready friends might be even better.

Mission name: We are Legion
Mission rank: A
Objective: Get through the masses
Location: Any
Reward: 1000 ryo
Mission Description: If you thought facing spectres in the world of the living was bad, you've seen nothing yet. The Otherworld is much like the Living world. A world where spirits dwell, a mimic-mockery of the Living world. The strong rule the weak, the powerful command the lesser. As you draw closer to the Source that seeks to destroy you, you begin to understand how influential this being truly is.
Mission Details: 3500 wc
The masses of spectres is not as organised as a band of samurai or a collective of shinobi but that doesn't mean their power is any lesser. The participants will be assaults by fifty (50) spectre warriors, twenty (20) revenant wraiths and two (2) Legion generals. Defeat as many as needed to impose your superiority, but do know 'fear' is not a word written in their dictionary!

Mission name: Taking the Crown of Pestilence
Mission rank: S
Objective: Destroy Zarazal and take the title of 'Source of Pestilence' for yourself.
Location: Any
Reward: 2000 ryo
Mission Description: Don't you understand the slow decay caused by pestilence is a form of art to cherish? Obviously... you don't. Zarazal is tired of you meddling with his affairs and has finally decided to deal with you personally. Finding him in the Otherworld, the Sourcerer of Pestilence awaits you in his own throne room, the heart of his operations.
Mission Details: Requires 5000 wc to complete.
The throne room of Zalazar is as cold as himself ([x]. It boasts plenty of space for a proper duel, the architecture beautiful despite the lifeless environment of the Otherworld it is located in. Zalazar himself sits on an onyx throne, the black glass-like construct symbolising the empty shells of those mortals destroyed from within by his beautiful infectious arts. Before him stands an altar that serves as his think table and workshop, the shelves hidden by the white cloth harbouring dozens of vials with different experimental diseases. Before you may fight him, he will send in his five Vassals to deal with you. Should you survive their necrotic touch, then... and only then... will Zalazar consider you worthy to be destroyed by his hands.

Name: Zarazal, Sourcerer of Pestilence
Age: ??
General Appearance: [x]
Personality: Cold, morbid. Most of the time he doesn't bother with 'mortals' as he continues to develop new means and magics to spread pestilence. When not working on evolution of pestilence, he is observing his masterwork lay waste to villages as they creep onto the frailties of humanity, slowly but steadily devouring life. Zarazal is considered the source of the Black Plague, and profiles as a sorcerer - hence, Sourcerer.
Goals: Finding the ultimate evolving disease to lay waste upon all life
Abilities:
Strength: S-0, Endurance: SS-0, Speed: S-0, Perception: S-3, Reaction: S-3
S rank ninjutsu, iryojutsu, bukijutsu & taijutsu. S rank doton, fuuton, suiton and raiton.
Items:
- A rank cloak "Shroud of Pestilence", a high quality cloak of shifting black hues with the ability to reduce the effectiveness of destructive Iryojutsu against him by 1 rank. The cloak comes with a fitting cowl for added mystery. A beautiful accessory.
- A rank naginata "Staff of the Ephemeral", serving both as a symbol of power and his preferred weapon of choice, the naginata slices through flesh and bone alike. A swift kind of death Zarazal generally avoids using as it ruins the effects of his devouring masterworks. The staff is able to boost a technique by 1 rank (2/thread).
- A rank pale horse "Marrow". A loyal mount whose fear has been killed since long. Afflicted by Zarazal's pestilence since birth, the horse looks emaciated despite its strength and endurance. It has a shady grey body, covered in bleak painting mimicking its skeleton much like it was "Dia de la Muerte". Has A rank stats across the board.
