*rolls sleepily* @Nahrenne, I tried picking up a bit on the thing you were doing with someone stealing tax funds and stuff, hopefully I depicted Imelda properly~
Hmm, I've read the report now...Quest Report (Appraised)
It was somewhat troublesome that this task has been up for this long yet nobody took it so far... I wasn't sure what would be the best way to go about it, but it would be a good idea to investigate... For now, I suppose the best way would be to go after the obvious suspect that is most likely being framed.
As soon as I took the quest, I immediately went to talk to one of the receptionists that seemed to be free at the moment, "Excuse me, are you miss Imelda?"
The white haired half-elf seemed to be bothered by my question and replied haughtily, "Who's asking!? Don't tell me you're another of those ***** that want to complain about me getting closer to men that obviously care a lot more for me!"
Her reply was disheartening, while I am not officially hired to work with the guild, I have done my fair share of work appraising reports, I hoped she already remembered me and that she'd understand my question was just a cordiality to inform her I had official business with her... I prayed she'd become more aware of the people near her, but for now, I need to clear her misunderstanding.
With this in mind, I replied, "No, miss Imelda. My name is Nene, I'm a priestess of The Goddess and an adventurer currently at the guild's employment. I'm here because you have been accused of stealing tax payments from law-abiding citizens by bewitching them with your looks."
She seemed astonished and furious at my statement. Understandably so since she is most likely innocent, but I required this approach for her to understand the seriousness of the situation... It was a pity, I'd rather avoid unnecessary commotions. At the moment though, it was impossible to do so, as she started shouting, "Me!? Stealing!? Are you mad, you *****!? Do you even understand who you are talking to? I'll have you know that-"
As she seemed about to continue going off for quite a while, I decided to do the rude action of cutting her off, Goddess forgive me. "The accusation does not come from me, miss Imelda. I am here merely relaying a message, and perhaps, if you have any information worth sharing, obtaining directions." She stopped shouting and started listening attentively, so I continued. "The culprit in question was referred to as a beautiful blond half-elf with an alluring body and that does obscene acts with men before taking their tax money while pretending to work for the guild.
"There are two very important things absent from her descriptions though... Any specific details of her body, like eye colors, average height or pretty much anything that wasn't related to hair color and sexual characteristics... And her name.
"While you yourself have white hair instead of blond hair, it is very easy to pin the accusations upon you as it shouldn't be too hard to change that feature... And your personality and overall behavior seem to match to the culprit to some extent." She seemed offended by this statement, but she did not deny it, so I continued. "However, I currently do not believe you are the person that has caused these issues, for you would have most likely been caught by your coworkers if you just so happened to have visited this many people that had trouble paying their taxes."
My last comment seems to have thrown her off guard, so she asked confusedly, "Well, what do you want of me then?"
I looked deeply into her eyes before replying, "Two things. First, alibis. Considering your work does not revolve around tax collection, and how you are often surrounded with people, you should probably have an easy time proving your innocence as you weren't around in the moments the money was stolen. I want the exact details and witnesses.
"As for the second thing, I want a list of every half-elf woman in the city that you know of, separated into four categories:
"I also want each of them to have a basic description of their body features and your personal opinion on rather or not they can or cannot be the culprit." She seemed to be quite annoyed by my demands and about to talk back to me, so I spoke first. "And miss Imelda, a reminder... You're currently the biggest suspect in the list.
- Hates you and knows magic.
- Hates you, but doesn't know magic.
- Doesn't hate you, but knows magic.
- Doesn't hate you and doesn't know magic.
"Help me help you prove your innocence. I need that evidence... May the gods help your day improve." I finished, and then got up and turned around without waiting for her reply.
By the end of miss Imelda's shift, I visited her again and asked if she got what I asked done... And she did, which probably means she skipped on work to do this, but I suppose it is for the best that I don't comment on that.
Instead, I quickly glanced over the alibis and saw that they all made sense, and they also had names of people that could serve as witnesses... That's a nice start. I thanked The Goddess for her help in this first part.
And the next one was the list of names I asked for... There were quite a few names there, we should be able to get something from that. I thanked her for her aid and left... This is all I can do for now though, for I'm unable to investigate those people myself.
With this information, I filled a report to the guild.
- Talked to Imelda Carson about the issue in the quest as her features matched the half-elf in question for the most part.
- Got alibis that seemed to proved her innocence.
- Got an organized list of possible suspects that might have acted in this way to obtain the money and to frame miss Imelda.
- Delivered the report at this point as I'm unable to do the direct investigation with each possible culprit.

I would say so! ^^Hey... since my hunting mission is partially completed, does that mean I can do forest ranger mission on level 3 or not?
SorryDo it? the quest, naw.
When a quest gets deleted, all the post number shuffles up, and since the custom quest quest code is post dependant, It messes up the numbering.
I have located the quest in the data list and fixed it now

Quest Report - Evaluated
Quest Report - Okarin
Okarin was getting restless.
They wanted to go somewhere; do something.
It was strange how the many anxieties of Scribel City weighed upon them.
A slime horde was coming, and frankly Okarin did not want to be in the city during it. They didn't want to see adventurers slaughtering slimes or slimes killing adventurers. The slimeperson didn't have the heart for it, and even thinking about the prospect added a lot of stress. Okarin wanted to be somewhere else, although they weren't entirely sure where else in the world might be better.
Gelderholm... Fuyu Machi...?
Okarin's heart sank when they thought about the Halfwings as well.
Right now, it seemed the Guild was going to do nothing?
+ + +
Okarin packed their things and said goodbye to Sable and Green Slime. Since there was the two of them, Okarin was comfortable with the fact that they could protect each other — the giant bird and the oversized gluttonous herb slime.
They set off towards the west once again, past Asteria Village and the Crossroads Tavern for one week.
At the Crossroads, Okarin chose the Southern path.
Surely this would lead to the sea, right?
A calm and peaceful retreat by the ocean sounded very nice.
+ + +
After 5 days of traveling South, the road ended.
Before Okarin's eyes was a Long Beach that stretches for miles and miles.
Curiously, there was a village on the water.
A floating village, built entirely on stilts and rafts. The houses wobbled with the waves, and in fact some of the houses were clearly boats. There were some fishermen on the pier, casting lines and others taking shallow canoes out into the ocean. The landscape was dotted with palm trees, seaweed, and various other driftwood.
A human walked up to Okarin.
"Hey, you're a visitor, Miss?" The man asked, an arm placed loosely on his hip. He held a spearfishing trident in his other hand.
"Ah... yeah... kinda. Where is this place?"
"We call this place Sea-End Village, since y'know, it sits at the very end of the Southern Road on the edge of the sea."
"Sea-End... Seaend...? Sand Village?"
"No, it's pronounce Seaend! Make sure you get it right, okay?!"
"Okay... and what's the ocean called?"
"Huh? You didn't know? We call it the Great Shio Ocean, because it's salty."
"..."
"Anyways, you should buy some of our salt. We make lots of salt! There are salt flats out here! Also fish! We have lots of fish! Buy our stuff! Perhaps you would like sea shells? A cute girl like yourself must love jewelry!"
Okarin dodged the topic of having no money and instead changed the topic.
"Is it nice to live here?" They asked.
"Hm? Are you thinking of moving here?"
"Maybe. It depends."
The slime person remained cryptic as they scanned the village with their eyes. It certainly looked peaceful, although Okarin also noted that many of the men also carried harpoons and nets and tridents. Although the village was not walled, there were many spiked nets lying around the village perimeter. There were also buoys in the ocean that seemed to fence off the village.
Okarin wondered what all the spiked nets were for.
"Are you looking for a place to stay?" The young man flashed a smile and leaned closer. "I got a spare couch. I'm also single, and my parents are away on a fishing expedition. They won't be back for days, so you know... we can crack out some of the whiskey and relax a bit~"
"Is it dangerous around here?" Okarin asked, oblivious to the man's flirting.
"Hm? Oh, it's perfectly dreamy and perfect here. There's nothing wrong at all. In fact, I think you'd love it here."
"I see."
"C'mon, let me show you around! I can show you my house. We live on a boat!"
+ + +
For some reason, Okarin's memories here are a bit foggy.
Did something happen?
It's kind of a blank.
Okarin vaguely remembered the guy giving them some fruit to eat, and then they became whoozy and sleepy.
Some stuff might have happened but Okarin ended up punching the guy and walking out of the boathouse with a splitting headache.
Okarin's memories are kind of foggy so it's a bit hard to describe what happened accurately.
+ + +
Oh! But there was one thing.
As Okarin was leaving the village, they suddenly realized that they never spotted any women. In the entire village, there was only men.
So weird, right? It was such a mystery!
When they left, Okarin walked by a band of fishmen (they looked like fish who walked on two legs!) who were armed to the teeth various stuff and they were headed to that Sea-End village place. Since Okarin had a headache, they totally ignored it and started walking back towards Scribel City.
This place was weirdddddddddddd.
Summary:
- Okarin went west for 1 week past Asteria Village to the Crossroads.
- Okarin went south for 5 days and arrived at a Long Beach.
- There is a floating village here called Sea-End Village which is on the Great Shio Sea.
- A human at the Sea-End Village invited Okarin to his house and fed Okarin something that made them whoozy and sleepy.
- Okarin doesn't remember exactly what happened next but they may have punched the guy.
- There were no women in Sea-End Village. All the residents appeared to be men.
- There were Fishmen who appeared armed and were presumably headed to attack Sea-End Village.
