Indra - Love & Thunder

These missions are open to anyone but must be taken in order. If done in duos or as a team, then at least ONE person on the team must have completed the mission preceding the one you are taking. IE it’s fine if Person A solos Early Rumblings, but then grabs a friend for The Smell of Rain. However, if neither of them has completed Early Rumblings, they can’t start The Smell of Rain.

Mission Name: Early Rumblings
Rank: C-rank
DoM: None - Little
Type: Story
Location: Any of the five villages
Description: Try as they might to suppress it, it has now become common knowledge that a large portion of the Denkou branch of the Erlang Clan defected just after the Bijuu attack. We haven’t heard much, but there are now rumors of recruiters in the seedier parts of the villages looking for anyone else who might be interested in joining their cause. Unfortunately, it seems they’ve broadened their search efforts beyond just the Denkou and are speaking with multiple other clans. Look into it and report back, but do not engage.
Boss: None

Rank: B-rank

Type: Story
Location: Village outskirts (any of the five)

We have reliable intel that they are attempting to smuggle their new recruit out of the village. Stop them by any means necessary, but try to convince the recruit to return if possible. Capturing the Denkou defector would be ideal, but your and the village’s safety takes precedence.
