Missions of Compassion and Justice

The Three Types of Missions

Mission 1: "Stolen Harvest Recovery" (Protection Mission)

Best for: Entry-level operatives (1-2 hours)
Team size: 3-5 Zachlings

The Situation

Food meant to feed starving families through winter has been stolen by hoarders who already have vast stockpiles. The villagers have worked all year for this harvest, and without it, children will go hungry while the thieves' storerooms overflow with rotting surplus.

The Tragedy

Three compulsive scavengers, driven by their inability to ever feel they have enough, raided the village stores. They've taken the food to an abandoned windmill where it joins countless other hoarded supplies, most of which will spoil before being used.

Mission Steps

  1. Meeting the Desperate Farmer - She weeps as she explains how her family will starve, begging for help
  2. Following the Trail of Greed - Scattered supplies and obvious tracks lead to the hoarders' den
  3. Witnessing the Waste - Mountains of spoiling food while the hoarders frantically gather more
  4. Confronting the Compulsion - 3 Compulsive Scavengers who can't stop taking even when confronted
  5. Returning Hope! - Bring food back to grateful families, see children smile again

Memorable Tactical Elements

  • 🎯 Hostile forces show obvious signs of mission compromise through messy evidence
  • ⚪ One enemy attempts negotiated surrender by offering recovered supplies as terms
  • 🏆 Community celebrates successful mission with ceremonial recognition of tactical excellence

Mission 2: "Breaking the Toll Extortion" (Redistribution Mission)

Best for: Operatives with prior field experience (2-3 hours)
Team size: 3-6 Zachlings

The Situation

A territorial enforcer, consumed by greed, has claimed the Rainbow Bridge and demands outrageous tolls from desperate travelers. Families trying to reach medical care, merchants bringing needed supplies, and refugees seeking safety are all being extorted or turned away.

The Manipulation

Greed lords have convinced the enforcer that he "deserves" payment for bridge access, feeding his sense of entitlement. Meanwhile, they plan to steal whatever tolls he collects, leaving him with nothing while they profit from others' suffering.

Mission Steps

  1. Meeting the Victims - Hear heartbreaking stories from stranded families and desperate merchants
  2. Confronting Greed - The enforcer demands impossible payments, blind to others' suffering
  3. Exposing the Puppet Masters - Discover the greed lords who are manipulating and planning to rob the enforcer
  4. Fighting the True Enemy - 1 Greed Lord + 2 Raider Warriors revealed as the real threat
  5. Opening Eyes - Show the enforcer how he was being used and exploited
  6. Finding Redemption - Help the former enforcer find purpose in protecting rather than exploiting travelers

Mission 3: "The Crystal Heart War" (Direct Combat Mission)

Best for: Veteran operatives (3-4 hours)
Team size: 4-7 Zachlings

The Situation

The Crystal Heart that protects all the villages is under assault by a massive army of the greedy. They don't need its power - they simply cannot bear that something so valuable exists outside their control. If they succeed, every village will be defenseless against their endless raids.

The Threat

Chaos creatures are sabotaging the crystal's defenses, not for any gain but because they enjoy watching things fall apart. A powerful greed lord has promised them they can "break everything" if they help him claim the Crystal Heart for his hoard.

Mission Steps

  1. The Desperate Call - Mayor Harmony pleads for help as the crystal's light begins to flicker and fade
  2. Racing Against Time - The crystal's power fluctuations are causing protective barriers to fail
  3. Catching the Saboteur - One chaos imp is gleefully destroying crystal resonators
  4. Learning the Truth - The captured imp reveals the greed lord's plan to steal the heart of everyone's protection
  5. The Final Stand - Race to stop the lord before villages become helpless prey
  6. Epic Battle - Greed Lord + 2 Chaos Imps + 3 Hoarding Enforcers in desperate combat
  7. Protecting the Future - Restore the crystal and ensure no greedy force can threaten it again
