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

[chims]

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. )

[Not too far off, there's a purple-haired someone that caught bits of that.]

Hey, you.

[isolates]

[Yuuta turns his attention away from Ryusei to look at the newcomer. He points at himself for clarification.]

Us?

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

Yes, you, what are you blind?

I'm going with you.

[isolates]

[He is not impressed. Usually he wouldn't mind if he was asked nicely but...

He puts his hands on his hips, frowning.]

Hey, don't decide things on your own!

[Ryusei might have to step in because no matter how mature he might seem, he's still ten.]

[minetodecide]

Now now, calm down. [He pats Yuuta on the shoulder then turns towards Faris.]

Hey, don't you think you could have asked that a bit more politely? Try asking again and he may consider letting you join.[Ryusei gestures to Yuuta with one hand.] Yuuta IS the party leader after all.

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

[Faris tries to summon up what remains of those crash-course etiquette lectures she was given once the chancellor of Tycoon found out she was their long-lost first princess.]

fine... May I please accompany you?

[Ugh. She tries not to gag, and is, albeit barely, successful.]

[minetodecide]

[Ryusei nodded and looked to Yuuta.]

Well? I'm fine with him joining.

[isolates]

[Yuuta shrugs and holds up his Relic. Even though he acted irritated, he's too conditioned to help people to ignore someone who obviously needs him in order to go through the dungeon.]

Fine, gimme your member address so I can invite you to the party too.

sorry for late

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

Here.

[She swaps member addresses with both Ryusei and Yuuta, since she knew neither of them.]

that's okay!

[isolates]

[And a second later she should get a message on her Relic asking her to join a party.]

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

[Which she of course accepts.]

[minetodecide]

[He nods and smiles. That went well!]

Alright then. I'm Ryusei Sakuta, nice to meet you.

[He turns his attention towards back to the dungeon. He takes a deep breath, still feeling a bit uneasy.]

Shall we?

[isolates]

Okay, let's go!

[And so he leads the way into the dungeon. Hopefully this time they can actually make it in without any more disruptions.]

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

[To the dungeon then!]
