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. )

[A treasure chest that won't open? Sounds like a challenge! But the level gap was a big problem. If he went in there alone, he'd surely end up fighting something, or someTHINGS, that would just walk all over him.

Ryusei sat next to the chaos gate on the first floor staring at the passage before him, contemplating what course of action he should take.]

[Yeah, there's no way someone Shinon's level can solo this quest. At least, she's assuming it's a quest - it wasn't unheard of for hidden quests to come to light once somebody stumbled upon the trigger. With such thoughts, Shinon will be hanging out by the Chaos Gate, keeping a sharp eye out for some higher leveled players who she might be able to nab for a party member.]

[It's an interesting rumor, and there's no escaping N's curiosity. He makes the necessary preparations to go... hmm. Perhaps he'll invite a party member or two!]
greatcleavage: (time to beat on a bard!)

[personal profile] greatcleavage 2012-06-21 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Silly Shinon. She knew one person who was more than adequately leveled, and who had gone through the guild to gather up any members he could find before heading for the Chaos Gate with a determined look in his eyes.]

[An unopenable chest... Of course not. Humans can do anything. AO just needs to figure out which of them to take with him.]
stolemylook: (...you're existing because why?)

[personal profile] stolemylook 2012-06-21 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Unopenable chest, hunh? He's crazy enough to find out if that's real or not, but he knows he doesn't have much in the level department...]

[...Ugh, he actually has to work with someone, doesn't he?]
isolates: (if you say so)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-22 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Suddenly there's the sound of the Chaos Gate activating and someone slightly familiar should be dashing through. He heads straight into the dungeon, not noticing Ryusei sitting there and obviously not bothered by the fact that it's a level 11 dungeon.]

[personal profile] tank_sniper 2012-06-22 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Leave it to Roy to catch on to these things, too.]

So we'll be completing the quest as a guild? Hm.

[Well, there's a first time for everything...]
minetodecide: (Ryusei - shocked/confused)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-22 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
(Hmmm...perhaps I should call the guild leader. She seems strong. Or maybe..Hmm? Hey, that's Yuuta. What's he....!!)

Hey! Wait a minute, Yuuta!

[He quickly rises to feet and gives chase]
isolates: (just a simple boy)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-22 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[The boy stops in his track and turns around when he hears his name. His eyes widen slightly at the sight of Ryusei but he recovers quickly and smiles.]

Ryusei-nii! Are you going to check out the chest too?

[Treasure chest that couldn't be opened? Aradia was all over that. She had been working on levelling up, but she realized she couldn't really do this thing alone.

So, she starts looking around for someone to go on the quest with.]

[yes, Pittoo, you do. IT'S OKAY, WE'LL SHOW THEM THE TRUE SUPER POWER OF TEAMWORK]

Hey Pit! [mistaken identity a go-go, baby] Come here to find that mysterious treasure chest too- Hey, what's with the getup?
minetodecide: (Ryusei - surprised lvl whut)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-22 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I am but, Yuuta. It's dangerous inside, there might be monsters and given the level of this place, strong monsters. What were you thinking rushing in?!

As much of it as shows up, while I curse the lack of a more convenient communication system for us.
isolates: (what are you talking about)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-22 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? It's not that bad. At least, it's below my level so I should be okay. [He appreciates that someone's worried for him but he's pretty sure he can handle the dungeon.]

[Pirates had a way of getting a hold of information like this. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't quite understand the whole concept of "levels" right now and is just looking for other people - any other people - to get at that chest.]
stolemylook: (...just die.)

[personal profile] stolemylook 2012-06-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[...just how many idiots around here were going to mistake him for that moron? Dark Pit glared sidelong at the kid with the bad hair, not in the mood to deal with more of his template's friends.]

I'm not Pit.
greaterspeed: (There is no way to stop me)

[personal profile] greaterspeed 2012-06-23 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[a pause]

...

[then he just crosses his arms, an amused expression on his face]

Dark Pit, then?

[it's like he's completely conditioned to running into doppelgangers!]
minetodecide: (Ryusei - doubt lvl 2)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-23 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
(Wait...Below his level?)

....What level are you?

Sixteen! [As soon as he says that he realizes something.] Oh, you thought I was lower leveled, didn't you? Don't underestimate me just because I'm young!

[Hiroto was looking for someone to go to the dungeon with, too. He has the area words now, but looking at it, it was a high level dungeon and he wouldn't be able to go through it alone.

So he approaches the first person he sees.]


Hi. Have you heard the rumors?
eightofseven: (Default)

[personal profile] eightofseven 2012-06-23 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Heard. Overheard. Same thing.]

I have.

Shall we discover the truth together?

[ Let's hope that Aradia can equate 'someone' with 'bunny' or, rather, blond boy who is blinking at her and just walking closer.

Don't mind the idiot, he's harmless. usually

Hello Miss~ What a sad day to be out on your own!
minetodecide: (Ryusei - smile 2)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-23 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He keeps quiet and looks away, scratching his face sheepishly. He had honestly thought that.]

Sorry. I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover.

[He places a hand on Yuuta's shoulder then looks at him and smiles.]

Alright then, Yuuta. Let's go. I'll be relying on you!
