During this time groups are free to revise already submitted entries, or finish their entries.  WE are also not accepting applications till the end of judging, so I apologize for any confusion related to the countdown. If anyone has sumbitted and application during this time it will be refused, but may be resubmitted to the group after the mission conclusion.
If anyone needs help of has questions feel free to note the group C:
--------------

The Aeniama were once again called to the safe room, this time the summons resulted in just two of the elders being present: Eiden and Ebru.
The two were prone to bickering and did so quite often as they attempted to deliver the message tasked to them by the great Ainu.

: "Alright babies, listen up! Gramps is busy with some ruckus on the surface; and the others appointed us to be the bearers of bad news-"

: _{"Eiden we aren't supposed to mention that- Don't make me clap that trap of yours! They shouldn't have sent me down here with you...."}

: " HEY , let me speak- you’re the younger one here so mind your elders _Papercut!"

: "_{Just hurry up then, we have to get back.}"

: " ALRIGHT, as I was saying before I was  rudely interrupted; Grandpa Ainu has to deal with a ton of dummies on the surfaces and told us to get you runts on the move. Some humans were spotted in the slum district above the sewers and you are all tasked to get a lovely little item from them. Everyone take a guess? - Okay no you guys are taking too long, I'm obviously on a level way above yours."

: "The humans all have artifacts which are greatly needed if you youngsters plan on reaching the surface before you get snuffed out by vermin. They're small jagged objects, and I'm sure you all know that these artifacts are crucial to unlocking the lift mechanism you can find in the center of the sewer system. Aaaaaand seeing as how this is a relatively easy operation to obtain 3 of the keys- the stronger of you are tasked with bringing them back.""

: "But be wary little nibblets, the destitute humans harbor no good will towards you."

*Eiden billows smoke that forms into human shapes, resembling three distinct shapes*



"These are the ones you're looking for. So don't get seen unless you want your pelt hanging from a wall. Also, in some scouting we discovered that some of the big baddies have found their way into the slums. A human soldier seems to be calling them, so they are on patrol around the area."

: “There’s no time, so listen carefully- there’s a spot in the middle of the sewers hidden by an illusion. Those strong enough can see through it, it’ll take you to the next level. We wanted to be there with you, but we can’t this time. Farewell and good luck. Be. Safe.”


(SETTING IS CRIME DISTRICT/SLUMS and ARENA)
 \\ 2 OBJECTIVES AVAILABLE//
Main objective 1- Steal artifacts from the homeless and desolate humans that are living under the radar in the crime district, be wary of getting seen, as they will call scouts to the area. There are 3 humans spread throughout the district, as well as scouts that actively patrol and will swarm if an Aeniama is seen.   Use stealth and avoid being seen at all costs.
The artifacts resemble stone antique keys, with a variety of shapes and sizes, feel free to make their appearance up.

GROUPS REQUIRED FOR THIS MISSION
groups may be set us as the following-
Aeniama with 2 tails may form groups of 3(and no larger)
3Aeniama with 1 tail may pair up with a 2 tailed
OR
5 one tailed Aeniama may pair up


Human targets:

The nameless man:
_{a 47 year old man that has run onto some bad luck recently, he lives close to the central lift and is accompanied by a black dog. If engaged he will fight with a rusted pocket knife and call out to the Hunter Scouts.  His black dog has a keen nose and will be able to sniff out any Aeniama that get close- be wary of this and use caution.  The black dog will pursue an Aeniama. He carries his artifact on a necklace.}

Lost Girl:
_{A young girl that has been lost in the darkness of the slums, she wields a metal pole and will act aggressively toward aeniama, though she is easy to sneak past and travels alone. Silence is a must as she will call Hunters when one is seen. She will not actively follow or pursue an Aeniama. Her artifact is hidden in her belongings ( Not carried with her, she wanders about the area close to her shack.)}

Injured Labyrinth soldier:
_{A younger man in full armor, he will attack and follow Aeniama to the best of his ability. He wields a broken sword and can control Hunters. He carries an artifact on his hip. It is best to approach him when he is asleep or drunk.}


Scout stats:
[actively patrol] being weaker Hunters, they are loath to engage or stick around to fight Aeniama, and act as reconessaince- should they discover anything out of order they will call Grunts or stronger hunters to correct any anomalies. If engaged physically they will attack with teeth and claws, as well as slashing with the spines on their arms. If a party is seen it is advised they flee the area or hide in order to lose the hunter. These hunters will not actively search for an aeniama, and will continue along their assigned route should they lose their targets.

OBJECTIVE 2 (for lower level aeniama who cannot advance)

Aeniama that cannot advance to the slums for objective one may practice and battle one another in the Arena. (a seperate arena for M2 will be posted as to avoid confusion with the rp arena.) New members and younger Aeniama may practice their affinities and strategies within the arena with no damage or loss of kros . Aeniama are to fight/train one on one.
