A triple (Triad?) dose of news today, folks!

Firstly, I'm happy to report... that...

No, I'm sorry.  I can't say something about news and not do this:
[youtube]z6ODMDtG6-I[/youtube]

Where was I?  Oh yeah.  So, I'm happy to report that last night, Jackal & Hide held another guild plot event, and it was a smash!  There was subterfuge!  There was intrigue!  There was... arson?  Anyway, it was fun, and thank you to all those in J&H (And out) that could make it.  Screenshots are to be found below, as ever.

(And a huge thank you to Tata's friend that let us abuse their house for the evening.  Any fire damage that may have ensued will of course be covered entirely by... someone.)

Second!  It's my great pleasure to announce two new acquisitions made by our HR department.  P'etri Ksobwa and Helia Haloren have officially joined the fray after RPing with us on and off for some time.  It's a great honour to have such talented RPers (And dungeoneers) join the ranks! Big Grin Thank you, both of you :3

And finally, we're still recruiting!  While we're not looking to take on too many more people, there's still room for one or two more folks we feel would mesh well with the rest of the group ICly.  So, if you're looking for a home where work runs the gamut, from mingling and serving drinks at the fortnightly Sunny Seaside Bar event, to business dealings both honest and... otherwise, depending on the motivation, then send Inarah or myself a message via the RPC or IG, and we'll see what can be arranged.

Kilid, out.

We had a wonderful time at the Golden Saucer on Sunday! Spent more gil than we earnt but nevermind, better luck next time.

Tonight we're doing a little something for Little Ladies' Day; apparently Kilid has plans, but it's a surprise. We wait with bated breath, Kilid!

Of course don't forget the Sunny Seaside Bar on Saturday, now with 100% More Triple Triad. Wink

Have some screenshots from our Golden Saucer visit!

A huge welcome to Thya, who joined us yesterday as the resident go-to metalworker for the guild! Big Grin

I reckon we have one or two spots left before we close off company recruitment for a while and focus on group development.  If you feel you have anything to bring to the table, you want in on a close-knit group of RPers, and you remembered to bring gear with +resistance to Godsawful puns, pester us via the RPC or whisper!

In other news, last night we held a sortamini training event on the beach for our young Lala protege, Tata.  Sadly, it seems he's not really an axeman, but he does appear to be a natural with the ol' knives.

We had a great time last night at the second opening of the Sunny Seaside Bar. Thanks to everyone who attended and congratulations to Cinaed Wilder, our Triple Triad tournament winner! Despite not advertising quite as heavily as last time, the bar was still packed and our staff were certainly kept on their toes.

This week we also welcomed Thya Kahzuun, Z'thara Dhen and Yoral Porral to our ragtag bunch of misfits. Thya is our new resident blacksmith, Thara brings some sorely needed skill in stealth and Yoral claims to be a healer, albeit one who may have hit his head on coral a few too many times...

We've got quite a lot of work lined up, with a search for star maps on Monday, Stone Wall's dungeon adventure on Thursday and Kilid taking the reins for the company plotline event on Saturday. We hope everyone's ready to show us what they've got!

Finally, we're still recruiting for a couple more able bodies so if you're interested in joining then please get in touch in game or apply via our website. That's it from me, over and out!

Updates!

As the beautiful Inarah posted prior, a great big welcome to Thya, Z'thara, and Yoral!  And a congratulations to Tata on becoming a fully-fledged member after impressing Inarah with his twin blades.  May the new blades he's been gifted serve him well in his coming adventures!

In other news:  The Sunny Seaside Bar event, while quieter (Thankfully!  Due to RL reasons we were a little understaffed this week, hence the lack of advertising), was still very entertaining, and hopefully all who turned up had a great time.  We hope we'll be seeing more of you all in the future!  We just need to decide on the coming theme... Please look forward to it.

Oh, and I'll second Inarah's congratulating of Cinaed Wilder who defeated allcomers to be crowned our first Triple Triad Tchampion. May your bottle of Bacchus go down well with whatever you spend your earnings on!

In other news, we ran another internal event seeking starmaps for a client on Monday.  While I'm pleased to say we acquired the maps, it wasn't the smoothest of operation.  Evidently, in the Roedagyn tongue, 'distraction' means 'charge on in, axe swinging, and let the heads roll'.  So that was interesting!  Casualties on the other side were many, and on our side only Inarah and Kilid ended up injured, with Inarah taking an axe to the thigh (Thankfully, the blow came at an odd angle, and she is still the proud bearer of that leg, and a newfound scar), and Kilid suffered an axe would to the shoulder, rather deeper, and is still recovering after some hurried on-the-spot healing.

Outside of RP, we've held two PvE nights, more gear has been acquired, and we're now pondering beginning the assault on the Binding Coils.  Which I'm told will be fun... no, not fun.  What was the word... opposite of fun.  Umm... oh, yeah.  I'm told it'll be Aurum Vale.

Upcoming events?  Check!

Tonight is Stone's first time DM'ing an event, and Saturday I'll be running something that maybe/maybe won't tie in with our current overarching story.  Time will tell.  Although as it's only two days off perhaps I'd better get a move on...

We did, you just didn't listen. Tongue

Last night we showcased our wares at the Mid-moon Meanders Market Meetup (try saying that three times fast!), with Thya providing some unique armour and Inarah offering tasty cuisine. Both seemed to go down a treat!

Once the market ended, we headed off for what was meant to be a straightforward contract negotiation but ended in betrayal and bloodshed.

Finally, presenting the most recent plotline event report for perusal:

Show Content
SpoilerChapter 5

The Jackals met in the arid desert of Thanalan once again on their mission to set things right (for the right amount of coin, of course). Through Myra's connections with the Ul'dahn socialites, they obtained invitations to a private soiree thrown by none other than Papushasu himself. With false identities, flamboyant attire and more than a little makeup, the company headed towards a mansion in the Goblet to crash the party and search for evidence which would clear Yukiki's name.

Inarah and Kilid presented themselves as servants to the doorman and were quickly ushered in, with orders to get immediately to work. Xivrez'to claimed to be the son of a wealthy Gridanian trader, whilst Helia was apparently an Ishgardian with connections to the Holy See itself, and P'etri stood by as bodyguard. Their invitations were given a cursory examination before, they too, dressed to the nines as they were, passed through without incident.

As Kilid and Inarah busied themselves serving food and drink, Xivrez'to got cosy with a hyur noblewoman out on the prowl. Helia, in her glitzy clothing, immediately caught the eye of Papushasu who was eager to tell her of his new business plan. The greedy lalafell spoke of war, and how one might profit from it, with the right investments. The Keeper barely managed to hide her disgust but kept Papushasu talking long enough to obtain some juicy information.

The 'servants' managed to make their way upstairs to the bedrooms and office. Kilid stood watch, making a pretense of dusting ornaments (and pocketing some shiny paperweights), whilst Inarah picked the lock on a very large and very ornate desk. The documents she found within would have to be read later as time was ticking. She moved on to a sturdy dressing cabinet in the master bedroom and, after some prodding and poking, found a false wall with a lockbox on the shelf behind.

A tense few moments passed as she tried to pick the lock, only to hear footsteps in the corridor. The butler found Kilid shirking his duties and ordered him downstairs, although luckily didn't seem to notice Inarah lurking in the shadows. Once the voices had faded, she got back to work and cracked open the box. With naught but her clothes to hand, she stuffed the parchments she found into her top and casually made her way back downstairs.

Xivrez'to's romantic escapades with the noblewoman roused jealousy in another gentleman and it wasn't long before a scene was being made. Papushasu was just getting to the meat of his business proposal with Helia when screams rang out, causing the party to come screeching to a halt. Although the woman involved explained the situation, eyes were now on Xivrez'to and the other guests loudly wondered just who was this man?

Sensing their cover would shortly be blown, Helia 'accidentally' knocked over an oil lamp on the staircase as she left the mansion. A fire began to spread, the crowd went hysterical, and the Jackals took the opportunity to escape.

Once back in the safety of Horizon, Inarah rifled through the documents she found. Her attempts to work out the details fell short, however, and Helia kindly took over to read them. There were a number of contracts, all with merchants who sold armour and weaponry, and an unsigned letter on Papushasu's letterhead to a mercenary company based in Limsa Lominsa. The letter detailed an agreement whereby the company would intercept a shipment travelling from Limsa to Camp Bronze Lake, ensuring they left no evidence of their ties to Papushasu.

The Jackals looked round each other in surprise; the date, time and location matched the shipment Yukiki had asked them to guard and, indeed, it was intercepted. It seemed he used Yukiki as a mule to smuggle the crystals and pin any wrongdoing on her, should the job go awry. Helia suggested Kilid and Inarah present their evidence to the authorities and hope that whoever they speak to wouldn't be easily swayed by a bribe from the unscrupulous lalafell.

With the way forward becoming clear, the company chose to take a well earnt break and spent the rest of the evening relaxing with a bottle of wine pilfered from the mansion by Kilid. "Everythin's comin' t'gether well...mebbe a little too well," Inarah mused as she took a long sip from her glass.

So, what's been going on with Jackal & Hide of late, I hear you ask!
(Because I'm psychic.  OOoooooOOOOOOoohhh! *Waggles fingers*)

Well!  As Inarah mentioned in the previous post, we had our presence at the Mid-Moon Meanders Market Meetup, joint-hosted by the Kindred, and the Harbingers of Dawn.  Inarah's cooking went down a storm, friends and contacts were made, and our resident smith, Thya, found some admirers for her wares!

A snapshot taken during the 'Meetup[Image: IDCmFeI.jpg]

And, of course, there was the contract-negotiation-turned-ambush, that could have gone very very wrong for Stone, Thara, Inarah and myself, were it not for the timely arrival of P'etri, Helia and Thya.

Stone Wall hosted his first event for Jackal & Hide!  I'm pleased to report that absolutely no-one died, so we're calling it an overall success! Big Grin Sadly, I wasn't present for it, but it sounds like everyone had fun, and it ended up with treasure, I do believe, which is always nice *Isn't jealous of the treasure* *No, really* *... maybe a little*

In other, non-event news everyone in the company has been levelling/gearing up nicely.  Congratulations to all those who have reached 50 with more classes!  Inarah and I are so proud of you all *Sniff* They level up so fast, these days...

*Ahem* Anyway... in a semi-FC related turn of events, Kilid and Inarah are engaged!  Congratulations to us both!  Soon the pair will be departing on their pilgrimage to visit all twelve shrines across the Eorzea, so please wish them the best as they venture off to new and unknown places! :3

The time and date of the ceremony will be posted at a later date (Once we know what it is) and is open to all in the company, along with friends and allies from outside.  Invites will, of course, be sent via Moogle post, because the idea of Moogle's delivering mail still makes this grown, mature FC leader giggle.

On Saturd-... TOMORROW (Where has the time gone?!?) marks the third Sunny Seaside Bar event, and this time we're expecting to have some more staff to hand!  There's a talent contest taking place for those who (think/feel/hope/pray they) have talent, and for those who would rather just sit back, relax, and enjoy a Mysterious Cocktail™, you can do just that!  Enjoy the show, and cast your votes to decide who takes home the grand prize of Something Nice™!

Hope to see you all there, folks!  It begins at 19:00 GMT, with the talent contest beginning at 20:00!

Peace out,

Kilid

It's time for a wee update. First up, well done to Thya and Z'thara who've passed their trial period and are now proper members of our Crew!

Next, we had a great time last night with our third running of the Sunny Seaside Bar. Congratulations to Devin Grey and Yoral Porral for their joint first place, voted for by our lovely patrons!

[Image: 2207412.jpg]

After we shut the bar, Inarah, Kilid and Xiv headed to Fuji's Date Auction where Xiv bought himself a date. Let's hope Xiv doesn't mentally scar the lucky man...

Earlier this week, we took a little visit to Gridania. Some of us had never been there before so Thya led a tour of the city and parts of the Shroud. We bumped into our friend, Vana'to, at the Sanctum of the Twelve.

And that's it from me. You stay classy, Eorzea!

♪ Where the palm trees grow ♪
♪ All along the shore ♪
♪ Where the salty breezes blow ♪
♪ There's always room for more ♪

Hint: It's Costa Del Sol

I, Yoral Porral, expert on sea slime and pebbles joined Jackal & Hide only a few weeks ago now and I thought it was about time to post a little something here about my experience so far.

Firstly, they're an incredibly friendly bunch, they welcomed me with open arms and supported my character concept from the get-go. Plus you wouldn't believe how hard working they are, but maybe that's because this is a newish guild and they haven't become horribly jaded yet (THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN!). What struck me most is that they're very open to a full spectrum of different characters and are always really inclusive, which I think is a really special thing since this is in fact a sneaky sneaky cloak and dagger guild leave your morals at the door. I think there's room for everyone, even Stone Wall who has an IQ in the minus numbers, poor guy.

Is that enough praise? No! They're also expert PvEers and have offered to help me every time I have gotten myself into a sticky situation. They helped me send the Lord of Crags back from whence he came and they didn't even break a sweat. The Lord of Crags, I say! A Primal! Now you know what sort of heroes you're dealing with.

I would easily recommend this guild to anyone, but especially if you're in Europe and especially if you have little to no morals. ^^

Small note regarding J'inarah and J'kilid: They're super! They work tirelessly for this guild and provide so much opportunity for us role-players. They are a real boon to this community and Balmung as a whole. I'd advise you look them up! But they do come as a pair, urgh, couples.

Extra extra note: You should join this guild if you want extra hawt screenshots. Seriously, J'kilid is the king of screenshots.

*The camera pans in on a Miqo'te,  clad in a red velure smoking jacket, and sat by a roaring log fire in the open hearth, in the oversized embrace of an ornate leather armchair.  Glancing up, he reverently closes the colourful hardback pop-up picturebook shut, and offers a kindly smile as the book "Kupo's" once the two covers come together.*

Well hello there!  How are you all today?  I trust you've been well?  Oh~ I suppose, judging by that eager glint in your eyes, you've come to hear a tale?  Yes... yes... I thought as much.  Something with danger, no doubt?  Adventure?  Lots of excitement?  Mayhaps with a tale of love along the way?

Well, why don't you just draw seat by the fire, snuggle up, toast some marshmallows, and we'll see if we can't find just the story you''re after...




So, where have we been this week?  We've been busy, that's where!

On the PvE side of life, we've begun the long Coil ascent!  It's early days, but we're now putting together more organised groups to go along with the impromptu dungeon runs designed to help folks gear up.  How well will this work out?  I'd like to think fairly well!  We've got some experienced hands in the crew, and those of us new to Coil are eager to learn more!  So fingers are crossed that the drops are as sweet as the people running it.</charm>

On the RP side of things...

Inarah's ran a small event with our more sneaky Hobbitses, Tata and Thara to further certain very important plans that have nothing to do with the wedding andifanyonefromtheGoldsmith'sguildnoticestworingsmissingitwasn'tusokay?

Secondly, last night Stone Wall hosted another event for the FC, this time a training event designed to give everyone present an insight into how their brothers- and sisters-in-arms fight, promoting a sense of unity and camaraderie within the pack!

Xiv brought his date along, of course, whereas Tata and his friend Aeron brought along some choice cuts of buffalo, which were promptly turned into a rather moreish stew by Inarah, who continues to delight and surprise everyone with a hitherto hidden talent as a chef.

Oh, and Thya introduced her mentor, who seems to be an honest-to-goodness Warrior.  He and Kilid duelled.  Kilid's pretty much bedridden for a few suns with headtrauma.  Fun times! Looking forward to more of them.

Tonight, we're hoping to finish off the first chapter (Job) in Jackal and Hide's tale.  I'm not going to write more about it, because... well, it's more fun to do so after the event!

Just a short bump for recent events today, I'm afraid children. You can look forward to another one soon though, once we've finished up tonight's event!

After the training event Friday and Yoral's tending to Kilid's wounds, our grateful Seeker wrote the best song in the world a tribute:

Quote:Yoral!
The man they call Yoral!
He jabbed with his stick and healed with passion like fire,
Saved Inarah's man and gained a tale for Myra,
Our love for him now, drowns out all our sorrow,
The hero of Costa, the man they call Yoral!

In other news, last night we wrapped up our first company plot arc. There was battle, bloodshed, twists and turns, and narrowly avoided death! Later on in the coming week, we'll have a small session to wrap up any loose ends before we start planning the next arc. Thank you all for coming, and special thanks to Aeron Volkova for his help. Inarah will no doubt shower him with cakes in gratitude!

I'll be writing up a written report of Saturday's event as per usual but, in the meantime, enjoy some screenshots:

Well hello there, RPC!

I know you've all been wondering what's been happening in the world of Jackal & Hide, and the answer to that is...

Lots, actually!

As Inarah touched upon in the prior post, on Saturday we ALMOST finished up our first ever company story arc.  Inarah summed it up nicely, so I'll just leave you with my own screenshots from the event to go with her own!

Is it truly over?  Probably? (Possibly) One loose end was left, that may crop up in the future if the leadership feel like being mean and giving people a scare.

(You know it's going to happen eventually.)

So what next?  Well, Monday the company met up for a few drinks and a catch-up.  Something we're thinking of doing on a regular basis, as it was a rather productive little meeting.  P'etri and Helia returned from their brief spell of absence, with Helia looking very shiny indeed, and we gained an Emreg and his hat in the company, so a huge welcome to him too!

Naturally, that wasn't enough RP for one night for some of us, so Inarah and Kilid hopped on an airship to Ul'dah, and dove right on in to the Kindred spa for another round of Truth or Dare.  I'll not share the specifics of what happened here, but there was more dancing.  Of a sort.

"No more, Kilid!  No more!  We can't take this much action in one post!" I hear you plead.  Fear not, I know your minds better than you yourselves do.  I know you can take more.  I know you want more.

More you shall have.

Our Wednesday night PvE group came together to do a little more Coil, and we're now preparing to tackle Turn 5.  While that's probably nothing special for a lot of FCs, given that the majority of our group is made of first-timers (turners?), I have to say, I'm pretty darn proud of everyone involved. Heart

Leviathan and Ramuh were also done, for those that needed them to progress the story, and will no doubt need to be done again soon.

Last night we actually properly seriously almost finished up the first story arc.  Having seen off the big (Lala-sized) baddie and saved the free world, we did what any group of brave, handsome, noble, self-sacrificing heroes would do.  We broke into his house before anyone realised he was gone, and we picked that damn place clean.  We all came out of that night feeling a little richer.  A huge thank you to X'rhen for helping us out with the event.  Spend your honestly? earned gil wisely!

So, that's it, right?  Well, kinda.  See, tonight Kilid and Inarah are getting married, and then tomorrow J&H are hosting the Sunny Seaside Bar 4: Bring Fourth the Bards, and we've already got plans in motion for some kind of fishing competition/event/thing, maybe for a future bar, maybe just because we live on a beach and can.  Sunday might be a quiet day though, we'll jkust have to wait and see.  No rest for the wicked, and all that jazz.

Edit: No, no rest for the wicked at all! Sunday, some of J&H will be participating in a mercenary contract Tongue

Hope to see you all at the bar tomorrow!

Kilid, out.

Ifrit's possible, we've been more busy that ever these past suns.  It's been a titanic challenge, but there's been whorl to whorl RP, some of it thorny, some of it striking, and some of it filled with levinty.  It's been a long road to 'march down, but in the end it's worth it.  We don't like leaving our members shiva-ing out in the cold.

So, what has been happening?

Well, there was the little matter of Inarah and Kilid's wedding!  Thank you everyone who came to that, it meant a lot to us Heart A load of screenshots below, with a load more from the cutscenes incoming as soon as I'm back on the desktop once more, along with screenies from others who were present.

And of course, the biggest most Behemoth-sized thank you to Inarah, too!  It wouldn't have happened without her :3

There was also the fourth Sunny Seaside Bar event!  As ever folks, and at the risk of sounding mushy, the event is only successful because of people like you turning up, so a huge thank you to everyone who came along last night and made it what it was.

An extra special shout out to Yoral, Riku, Mara and Freya for the part they played in telling tales to entertain the guests, and to Nailah and Blaze for helping out behind the bar.  It got quite busy towards the end last night, and you two were lifesavers.

Screenshots courtesy of Inarah, as I'm laptop-bound for the week and any pictures I grab look correspondingly horrid.

So what's next?  Well, later today some of us will be taking part in a mercenary event and tomorrow we'll likely be found in the Missing Member once again.  After that?  Who knows!  We'll probably be having another shot at Odin, and our first go at Twintania on Wednesday, so wish us luck!

And on a sidenote: We're still looking for a handful of good RPers to join the Jackals and lend a hand, while partaking in the spoils.  If you're interested, and you think you've got what it takes to be a Jackal, nudge Inarah or myself in-game and fill in the application here, and we'll see if we can't arrange an IC meeting.
