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. )

[ He straightens up, blinking at the man. He's sure been running into him a lot lately. ]

Uh, hey. [ Chill. Totally chill. ] Heard about that quest?

[Best Hope never know he's a stalker in canon.]

The one with the unopenable chest?
brightfuture: (☆ investigating)

[personal profile] brightfuture 2012-06-30 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the one with the chest.

[ the boy repeats, his gaze returning to the panel. ]

I thought about checking it out, but it seems I'll have to pass.
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.
brightfuture: (☆ field)

[personal profile] brightfuture 2012-07-01 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I think... wait, let me check.

[ fiddling with the panel some more ]

Yeah. That's the thing, it's just the dungeon. ... I always skip those.

[ because scaaaaary. But shhh. ]
galaxiapride: to the side and aloof (contemplation)

[personal profile] galaxiapride 2012-07-01 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... Perhaps I should investigate for future reference.
brightfuture: (☆ curious)

[personal profile] brightfuture 2012-07-02 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ somewhat shyly, because it's not like he'd like to join forces or anything. ]

Uh, what level are you?
galaxiapride: default, staring down (Default)

[personal profile] galaxiapride 2012-07-03 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
A measly level 4, but there's strength in numbers if you're worried we are able to get in.
brightfuture: (pic#4036407)

[personal profile] brightfuture 2012-07-05 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ would that mean... ]

So you're in?
galaxiapride: the tiniest bit confused (...well that was unexpected)

[personal profile] galaxiapride 2012-07-05 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering I don't have any other choice but to form a party, yes.
brightfuture: (pic#4036414)

[personal profile] brightfuture 2012-07-05 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
In that case... good luck to us both, I guess.

[ he retrieves his Relic and waits for Meta Knight to do the same. It would probably be wiser to form the party before entering, after all. ]

[personal profile] galaxiapride 2012-07-05 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He follows suit, having formed a party at an earlier time for grinding.]

If things get hairy, there's always the option to flee.
brightfuture: (pic#4036405)

[personal profile] brightfuture 2012-07-05 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Beep! ]

... I'd rather avoid that. Let's get going.
galaxiapride: default, staring down (Default)

Now is the time for more party members to jump on

[personal profile] galaxiapride 2012-07-06 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
There's no shame in it. [But he'll still follow him.]
brightfuture: (♧ knife)

I guess so! Any ideas? I'm fine with anything, so if you feel like jumping on anyone in particular~

[personal profile] brightfuture 2012-07-06 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
What's the point of going in if you're already accepting defeat, though?

[ His words might be filled with stubbornness... but hey, he would flee. He would. ]
galaxiapride: default, staring down (Default)

I'd say just let any stragglers jump on so it's not that big of a mess

[personal profile] galaxiapride 2012-07-07 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just lowering my expectations.
