ROGER THAT
- ERRAND
- FETCH
- THE RADIO OPERATOR
- THE MOON
ROGER THAT is an errand THE RADIO OPERATOR hands out on THE MOON, and it wants 3 RELAY CELLs brought back.
Relay power is down to one cell and the channel goes when the cell does. The things out on the grid carry cells; three of them buys one more call to a station that stopped answering fifty years ago. Nothing answers this time either, and the operator counts an open channel as a result on its own.
What it asks
| SHAPE | WHAT | HOW MANY |
|---|---|---|
| FETCH | 3 |
| PIECE | CARRIED BY | PER KILL |
|---|---|---|
| RELAY CELL | WISP, MOON GHOST | 34% |
- RELAY CELLA long dry run off the horde is not a dead end: after 6 kills of a carrier with nothing to show for it, the next one drops for certain.
- ONLY WHILE IT IS LIVEthe pieces exist for the errand and nothing else — they drop once it has been accepted and the tally is still short, and they are handed over at the turn-in.
What it pays
Handing it in pays experience, 70 coins and 1 rolled piece.
The experience is authored as a SHARE of your own level bar — 0.35 of one — rather than as a figure, so the same errand is worth the same fraction of a level on the first map and the last. The table below is what that comes to for a hero at the level this venue is tuned for; take it later and it pays more.
The rolled piece goes through the ordinary drop pipeline at your own level. A quest is a second CALLER of the loot system, never a second loot system, so what it hands over is the same kind of thing a monster drops.
| WHAT | HOW MUCH |
|---|---|
| COINS | 70 |
| ROLLED LOOT | 1 |
| DIFFICULTY | HERO LEVEL | XP |
|---|---|---|
| EASY | 13 | 972 |
| MEDIUM | 13 | 972 |
| HARD | 15 | 1517 |
| NIGHTMARE | 44 | 180935 |
The chain
Opens THE HANDOVER.
A chain never crosses a map or a run: the quest log belongs to the run you are in rather than to the hero, so every link of one is taken, done and handed in on a single visit, from the same person.
