event six | catch that thief!

[chims]

CHARACTERS: ALL (holyrelic)
DATE: Aug. 21-23 22-24
RATING: PG
SUMMARY: There's a thief in our midst! Find his lair and teach him a lesson about how one should never take what doesn't belong to them!

For a few days now there have been irate NPCs throughout Mac Anu and Lumina Cloth. Someone has been stealing treasured artifacts and personal belongings out from underneath people's very noses! Informants throughout The World have finally pinpointed where the elusive thief's hideout is situated. It seems that, with much digging and what the NPCs report as a valiant sacrifice of one of their own, the thief's den is located deep within ΔChoosing Fortune's Phantom. Seems simple enough...

But what thief leaves his home easily invaded by outsiders?

Once inside the cave, players will find that the always useful Fairy Orb item is blocked and unusable. Many of the treasure chests wind up being filled with tricks and few treats while traps (of the spiked, spotlight and pit-that-returns-you-to-the-room-entrance variety) and monster guards make navigating this dungeon a bit more difficult than normal. But that's nothing for our intrepid adventurers, isn't it?

The Phantom Thief awaits you on the bottom most floor, along with the treasure he's taken. Show him exactly what you're made of!

[ooc: There will be separate threads for the dungeon crawling and the boss fighting. The Boss does respawn after a while, so this isn't some 'One Sin' one time exclusive kill. Winning this will net you some fantastic booty and a rare armor that periodically allows the player to counter with a confusion attack.]

[Smiling widely, she nods.] Yes, actually! I can't really do it myself, but my big sis can, and so can some others. [In fact, Nine was about to use it on Ragna before Celica came here...]

But ah... I don't think I could imagine myself being any other class, really... It would definitely be interesting to try others out, but this is more comfortable for me, I think. It's something I'm mostly used to.

[elucidator]

So basically... Aside from the dungeons, warp gates -- all those things, this is a lot like your home then?

[ ... ] I'd offer to let you try equipping my swords, but this game doesn't work that way it looks like.

[ and this probably wasn't the best environment for that. . . ]

[suckswithmaps]

Mmm... Basically, yes. Though the clothing people wear at home is a bit different. [Or well. very different, but.]

That's too bad though... it sounds like it would be fun! Do you think the game would at least let me hold and swing them around playfully...?

[Because clearly if it's playful that'll make a difference right. Or something.]

[elucidator]

[ That's a given, though... He'd be worried, if in the modern era people had been walking around in mmo-esque clothing. ]

... You know, I've never heard of someone swinging a sword around playfully. Swinging a sword to test it or for practice, maybe, but never that.

Should I be worried about lending one to you?

[suckswithmaps]

Well... At least then it wouldn't technically be equipping it, would it? [Maybe...]

You wouldn't have to worry at all though! I'd be careful.

[elucidator]

As long as you make sure you're at least ten metres away from me. I think it's then that I wouldn't have to worry about you anymore.

[ ... though now that he thinks of it, her hurting herself was plausible as well. ]

[suckswithmaps]

[Probably --]

I could do that! Even then though, I'll make sure to be careful at least. Don't worry! So how about it?
