event four | can a chest that can't be opened really be called a chest?

CHARACTERS: Any and all!
DATE: 19th~22nd
RATING: PG for foul-mouthed NPCs
SUMMARY: The NPCs around town are spreading rumors of a dungeon chest that can't be opened. If you ask them nicely, they'll give you the area words Δ Choosing Superior Offerings. What you do or what you'll try from there is up to you!

The NPCs around town are busy murmuring to each other and eyeing the adventurers curiously, wondering aloud if anyone in Mac Anu would fall for such folly. Surely not, but who would ever know the root of the story if no one went to look? It spreads through the town like wildfire, this rumor of a dungeon chest that will not open for any who have tried. Some don't know the area words, but they know who will and will forward any eager or curious adventures to them.

Once at the dungeon, however, things are a little different. There are far less monsters to be found-- in fact, hardly any at all. It's a level 11 temple dungeon, with three floors. One needs only to reach the second floor to start hearing voices...


( ooc: As always, be sure to tag your chara name into the log when you reply! If you'd like a mod to NPC the townsfolk or NPCs in the dungeon for you, please just let us know with a subject title holler. :)

The NPC in the dungeon is squat and fat, shadowed in heavy robes. They'll threaten and harangue anyone who comes to them, and summon undead goblins to fight you after a while. Once you've defeated all six, he warps off and leaves the way to a new chest unbarred-- a chest which now opens and has unremarkable items inside. The event itself is the important part, though, and the first of three ongoing events. )
ladieswhodresslikemen: (barside frustration)

How are we going to handle this? Faris is already in another group...

Asad, I'm a pirate. Someone mentions treasure and I'm one of the first to hear about it.
ladieswhodresslikemen: (ughhhh)

sorry for late

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-06-30 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Here.

[She swaps member addresses with both Ryusei and Yuuta, since she knew neither of them.]
mercuryangel: (worried)

[personal profile] mercuryangel 2012-06-30 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Are you two always like this?

[Really? You didn't figure that out from oh he didn't really hint at that much, huh.]

She could always reject his invitation o7 He wouldn't mind!

[personal profile] failedrescue 2012-06-30 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
I see. I suppose that does make sense. [Not that he had many pirates in his life.]

Then are you going to search for it? I admit it sounds rather suspicious.
ladieswhodresslikemen: (ughhhh)

Yes, the wonderful somewhat-of-a-doormat-sometimes Asad...

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-06-30 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, maybe later. Probably isn't that much in it.
isolates: (gonna think about it)

that's okay!

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-30 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[And a second later she should get a message on her Relic asking her to join a party.]
tank_sniper: (PASSIVE SKILL > Determination)

[personal profile] tank_sniper 2012-06-30 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Think we can catch up to them before they get at the reward?

[She's definitely up for trying.]

His life is a pain like that.

[personal profile] failedrescue 2012-06-30 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
Then if you wish, let us go together later. It may bear some fruit to investigate.
greatcleavage: (sometimes things do go right?)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2012-06-30 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He hefts his sword with a grin.]

I'm not above charging past them and taking it.

...unless they're actually in trouble and need help.
brightfuture: (☆ attention)

[personal profile] brightfuture 2012-06-30 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It's level-locked.

[ he taps the screen with his hand, as if in hopes of getting a more satisfying result. ]

Well, uh... I'm not sure if you necessarily have to be level eleven to enter, since it's the first time I see them put up a similar warning. I wonder if it's even worth the risk.
galaxiapride: the tiniest bit confused (...well that was unexpected)

[personal profile] galaxiapride 2012-06-30 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if the dungeon is off limits to those under level eleven, the field might be interesting to visit.
doggedness: (☁ aloof)

[personal profile] doggedness 2012-06-30 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
... [Roberto folds his arms over his chest, apparently uncertain.] What, are you curious about it?
stolemylook: (I'm not like that guy.)

[Dark Pit was just shy of snapping at his double before Mia spoke up.]

Yeah. He's always an idiot.
shiningascent: <user site="dreamwidth.org" user="kuiper""> (or try to 'cause we've been lied to)

I need that icon where he's pouting with his arms crossed, sob

[personal profile] shiningascent 2012-06-30 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Could be worse. He's always a jerk.

[We're never going to get to that treasure at this rate...]
ladieswhodresslikemen: (the usual)

Still, he has his moments.

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-07-01 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
All right then, I'll keep you in mind.

[Heh. By the time "later" rolls around the treasure will already be gone...]
ladieswhodresslikemen: (the usual)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-07-01 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Which she of course accepts.]
glassworkgenius: (confused)

[personal profile] glassworkgenius 2012-07-01 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[jafjskds! That was more than a little startling, but in retrospect Taiyou should have expected other people around too.]

No, no I don't.
adarable: (♮ø)

[personal profile] adarable 2012-07-01 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
About the chest that cannot be opened? [ nod ] I have, but I haven't ventured to see it for myself, yet. Have you seen it yet, Shinon?

[personal profile] failedrescue 2012-07-01 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
It could be a clue out of this world. [He notices the gesture though, shaking his head.] It is a better lead than anything else so far.

He will get those moments back!

[personal profile] failedrescue 2012-07-01 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Though it's rather strange that the rumor only appeared now. Do you think perhaps someone has went there just recently?

[personal profile] orokamononya 2012-07-01 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Jackpot. Found someone!] What do you say to partying together then? It would be less foolish to travel as a pair than on your own.
glassworkgenius: (on the phone V2)

[personal profile] glassworkgenius 2012-07-01 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Someone sure doesn't beat around the bush. Taiyou chuckles, taking out his Relic.]

Alright. You are?

[personal profile] orokamononya 2012-07-01 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Tsubaki Sasuke, a Tribal Grappler. [He doesn't show it, but he's immensely relieved he didn't get rejected. It was a possibility, but then it would require him to look for someone else.

He then takes out his Relic as well, looking at him curiously.]
What's your name?
glassworkgenius: (ahaha~)

[personal profile] glassworkgenius 2012-07-01 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
Good to meet you Tsubaki-san. I'm Amemiya Taiyou: Harvest Cleric! [Taiyou's not the type to turn anyone down on potential friendships! Not that the older boy said that, but "partying" tends to default to "becoming buddy-buds" in his mind. Or any human interaction really, doop.]

[personal profile] orokamononya 2012-07-01 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods at that, his own way of saying it was nice to meet him too.] Then I will leave myself in your care.

Have you been here that long?
