balmung [Periodic] Merchant, Marine Sign Ups

[Tiergan]

Actually, I just herped the derp realised the time - is there any chance Arcanimalfeasance could be pushed back to 8 CST? If not, I sadly withdraw!

[Verad]

There is no problem with pushing the plot's time back to 8 on my end. I shall make the necessary adjustments.

[Verad]

Important Note

 

Because the plot limitation I requested hasn't worked as well as I'd liked, I am lifting the restriction on being in no more than one other Fate storyline in order to join these events. Players should still have a sheet for the 2.0 rules, however.

[Gallien Vyese]

Yea ill enter the event Lia stated I was tentative for, Arcanimalfeasance, if allowed

[Caspar]

Still sort of uncertain as to where I stand after the first event, but I'd like to sign up in Customary Arrangements, please.

[Verad]

If you mean the ship event from last round, we decided after delays to move on without it. You are more than welcome to sign up for Customary Arrangements.

[Leanne]

Signing for customary arrangements.

[Jana]

Jana doesn't super fit any of these but I'd like to sign up for Wednesday's event anyway, if that's cool with the plot.

[LystAP]

Tentatively sign Hihisa Hisa and her minions up for Big Buccaneering.

[S'imba]

Hmm S'imba can probably do big buccaneering.

[Leggerless]

As I now have to get a new computer because even this one is having some very serious issues, I'll be withdrawing from Arcanimalfescene.

 

To whomever takes the open spot: Enjoy.

[Aya]

The timing of Buccaneering isn't good for me (Saturday nights usually aren't), I'd love to see it moved to Monday or something, but if not I may have to withdraw, V!

[Verad]

Just to confirm, after some discussion with all participants, Big Buccaneering has been rescheduled to Monday, November 21st, at 8 PM CST.

[Aya]

V'aleera will join us in Costa del Sol!

Episode 4:

 

New Story Aspects:

 

Only Blood Can Mend the Wound - As before, there is still a broad public call for the swift trial and execution of Dominic Morris, the mutineer of the Maiden's Wound. This sentiment has become increasingly hostile since the announcement that the trial would be postponed pending further investigation of the events leading up to the massacre, and may turn violent.

 

Shift Towards Patriotic Sentiment - Despite the above, a growing number of Limsan citizens are of the mind that Morris was surely engaging in mutiny for patriotic reasons related to Limsan security, and are now supporting the move for a thorough trial instead of a drumhead court. This is making some citizens more prone to seeing sense and calling for civility; on the other hand, it's also starting to cause clashes between the two camps.

 

City of Wonders - Amidst all of this, a large shipment of cheap, harmless magitek items have appeared on the markets of Hawker's Alley. All of these appear to be designed for the sake of convenience and home-living rather than instruments of mass destruction.

 

New Events:

 

Hawker's Alley Havoc

While the influx of magitek items on the markets have been a general boon for purchasers, not all of them are available in equal quantities, and some are clearly more popular than others. One item in particular, the Miniature Wave Oven, a kind of shard-powered device for faster cooking, has become a top seller amongst sailors expecting to be at sea for extended periods. This has made it a popular choice for Starlight gifts, and Limsan shoppers are not known for their manners when it comes to competing over limited supplies. Various merchants of the Hawker's Alley stalls are requesting security forces to supplement Yellowjacket patrols and help prevent theft.

 

Time: Thursday, December 29th, 8 PM CST

1. Chakha Hotgo

2. Zanzan Yanzan

3. Virara Wakuwa

4. Leanne Delphium

 

Dress to Impress

The term of enlistment for a number of sailors attached to the Fourth Squadron is due to end in a moon's time. There has, however, been a lull in Grand Company volunteers of late. Without receiving replacement forces, the Fourth Squadron will be undermanned and its field of operations more prone to exploitation by those pirate crews which flout the law of the land. Lieutenant Daqu Hequ is requesting support from officers of similar rank and patriotic adventurers of the Foreign Levy in running a recruiting drive.

 

Time: Friday, December 30th, 8 PM CST

1. Aya Foxheart

2. L'Rinhi Khett

3. Anstarra Silverain

4. Jana Ridah

 

Millioncorn Mystery

Several shipments of grain intended to supply Maelstrom vessels from farms created under the terms of the Limsan resettlement program have either gone missing or been severely below their expected projections. Maelstrom Commissary is requesting sellswords of the Foreign Levy to investigate the shirkers at Millioncorn Malm in Summerford and find the source of the problem.

 

Time: January 1st, 8 PM CST

1. Liadan Summerfield

2. S'imba Tia

3. W'Chaza Yheli

4. Klynzahr Ihyrnachtwyn

 

The Grasp Exceeds Its Reach

A leve has been put out for nautically-minded adventurers to identify the location of the trading vessel Grasp of Halone. Owned by an Ishgardian merchant house, the Grasp sailed for the Rothlyht Sound in the Sea of Jade to gather rare herbal materials before returning, and has not been heard from since its departure three moons prior. Adventurers are requested in order to contact the missing vessel and ascertain its fate.

>Faster Cooking

 

W'chaza Yheli for Hawker's Alley Havoc. Hands down.

 

Whoever stole my microwave oven idea IC... is going to get baked.

[Aya]

Dress to Impress... he's looking for recruits, or looking for help recruiting? :-D 

 

That makes a difference (though Aya pretending to be a Naval Officer would be even more entertaining than her pretending to be a Lawyer).

[Verad]

Looking for help recruiting, to be clear.

[PhantasticPanda]
