quest four | you can't catch fish if you don't go fishing!

[chims]

CHARACTERS: ALL (holyrelic)
DATE: Aug 12 - 16 (extended due to RL punting the modchims)
RATING: KEEP IT G
SUMMARY: There's a fishing tournament being talked about around Mac Anu and Lumina Cloth. Do you have what it takes to be the Grandmaster Fisher?! ... But before that, there's bait to be found!

There's a buzz in the plaza and quite a few posters put out. It seems that with the dog days of summer upon everyone, it's also time to partake of a typical summer activity... Fishing! On the posters strewn throughout the Root Towns are the keywords ΔDelicious Unlimited Ocean. Once there, they'll be greeted by the sight of several islands all connected to a larger, 'main' island where the GMs are situated. Right in front of the Chaos Gate too, so there's no missing them. Good thing too, because they're handing out the fishing rods you need to complete this quest!

... But no bait?

A quick inquiry will net players the answer; defeat monsters to earn bait in order to catch fish for the salmon bake later! Okay, so maybe it wasn't a salmon bake but grilled fish does smell sound like a nice incentive right? Five of the islands branching off the main one has a small sign in front that indicate which levels they'll find there, starting from level 1 through 10 up to level 41 through 50 for the most daring. There's space all throughout the islands that seem to be designated 'safe spots' where one can start fishing without worrying about getting ambushed.

Go forth and catch that elusive Halibut for dinner!

[ooc: Okay, 2 things.

1) Event extended because Life hates your mods. 8'( Sorry this came up so late, folks.

2) All right! There are all sorts of fishes, but the fishes you'll be catching are of the monster variety. The dropped item will be a normal fish (re; salmon, halibut, tilapia, etc)! There are complimentary summer/beach costumes for all who participate and... quirky(?) fishbone/seafood themed weapons for everyone who catches a fish.

And before anyone asks, yes. Even that tiny little smelt can potentially net you a gigantic Broadsword]

Shinon. [He walks up to her wearing his light brown trunks and a plain white tee. He also appears to be carrying something wrapped in what looks like tin foil. He plops down next to her, doing his best not to make noise that might scare away the fish.]

Any bites?

[tank_sniper]

Not yet.

[She shifts her gaze to him for just a moment to acknowledge his presence. And then... well, she meant to look back to her line, but her attention is drawn by that tin foil.}

...What is that?

[minetodecide]

[He opens up the tin foil revealing some grilled salmon on a stick.] I caught them earlier, though I only managed to catch two. Better than nothing though, you want one?

[tank_sniper]

...It's okay if I take one? You don't have anyone else you want to give it to?

[Just... making sure...]
