Unique Mission # 1 - Third Party Observation

Date: February 5th-10th
Slots: 6 [1 Field Leader, 1 Doctor/Healer, 4 Stealth Specialists]
Destination: Jungle (Third Party Village)
Requisites:

Field Leader - The Field Leader will need to have been on previous missions or drafts to qualify. A field leader is expected to have past military experience in a position of authority. For the mission, the field leader will also need experience in undercover, stealth operations to qualify. Other volunteers will be expected to follow orders from their field leader.

Doctor / Healer - For the mission, a person skilled in healing and medicine will be required to aid other volunteers in case of emergency. Due to the risk of Shifters, a practical knowledge of natural first aid without magic or technology is requested. Due to the presence of Shift Hunters, healers must not use Filial Magic under any circumstances.

Stealth Specialists - Four stealth specialists will coordinate with their field leader to spy on the Third Party and discover their current numbers, tactics, and overall situation. Stealth specialists should be capable of defending themselves, but should avoid detection and combat at all costs.

All volunteers are expected to possess basic survival skills and be self-sufficient in dealing with the dangerous fauna and flora present in the jungle. Basic supplies will be provided to all volunteers with enough food and water to be rationed out over five days.

Description: The Third Party village in the jungle was previous attacked during a draft consisting of Luceti combatants. The battle proved disastrous and draftees were recalled before numerous casualties could be incurred. The Malnosso Security Forces have thus far been unable to penetrate the defenses of the jungle, resulting in the forces merely maintaining military outposts outside the jungle, resulting in an endless stalemate. Further attacks have been deemed too dangerous, as the jungle itself is as deadly to Malnosso forces as the cultists themselves are.

A small six man team is being assembled to enter the forest. Following the orders of their field leader, they will take position near the village and begin monitoring cultists while avoiding detection. The stealth specialists will need to listen in on Third Party discussions and use recording equipment to gain valuable intel. The Malnosso will expect a full report containing recorded surveillance, including information of the level of weaponry and overall numbers of the Third Party camp.

Note: While the natural effects of the world will allow volunteers to understand the basic language of the cultists, their language is colored with metaphors that even the Malnosso have not fully come to understand the meaning of. Do not tamper your reports with assumptions on the meanings of their conversations. You will most likely be wrong.

Examples of Third Party language:

"The Greatest smiles, nodding." - a basic greeting, usually among equals
"Sitting, the Evil lingers." - a warning that enemies are near
"Forsaken, they spite us." - believed to be a reference to the Malnosso organization.

Reward: Each volunteer may earn up to 40 participation points for a successful mission. Insubordinate volunteers may have their totals reduced, especially if their actions endanger the mission. The field leader may also lose points if they are unable to successfully command the other volunteers.
