Prelude: The Leather-Bound Journal 7/11/17

While on shore leave, Mia picks up an old adventurer's journal in the markets of Limsa Lominsa. Upon further examination with Sogarn, they both find an enchanted map segment within the journal pages that reflect Captain Greybeard's First Mate's account of the untimely death of his Captain. The journal details that there was mutiny afoot and in order to reunite his crew after his death, the Captain entrusted his crewmates with map segments and keys that lead to his life's worth of treasure. The map segments and keys glow when brought into close proximity. Lone overhears briefly as Mia tries to hide the nature of their conversation in hopes of not sharing the bounty.

 

Prelude: The Hungry Gypsy 7/12/2017

The LNC opened the doors of the humble tavern, The Hungry Gypsy as adventurers from all over paid her a visit. After several generous donations from all of the adventurers, everyone came together to make her feel more like home. Amidst the renovations, the crew of the Reverie tried to see if any of the travelers had more information about the legend of Greybeard.

 

Ultimate Objectives

  • Gather all the map pieces to find the location of Greybeard's Treasure
  • Gather the 3 keys that will open Greybeard's Treasure
  • Optional: Obtain the items without the owners knowing so we don't have to share the treasure!

((I wanted to thank everyone who came by last night. What started as a simple Tavern night in our newly acquired small FC home, turned into the RP community coming together and donating gil and furniture to really fix the place up. We are overwhelmed by the support and generosity from the community and are excited for adventures to come!))

 

Current Quest Objectives

  • Check the local folklore and find more information about Captain Greybeard in Limsa Lominsa.
  • Sogarn suspects that the map segments and keys have been enchanted by an Alchemist. Seek more information in Western Thanalan.

----------------------------------------------

Synopsis

Friends gathered to celebrate the engagement announcement of Yayonzo and Mamaro. Amidst the celebration, an old broken arrow on Yayonzo's shelf begins glowing. The map piece from the LNC pirates start reacting and glowing as well as the LNC crew realizes that Yayonzo holds two map pieces in the form of a broken arrow. The crew tries to "get the broken arrow off of his hands" with no avail as a tall stranger, a male Elezen begins making his own unusual inquiries about the arrow.

 

When Yayonzo refuses to hand over the arrow, the Elezen immediately calls for back up as his heavily armored crewmate bursts down the door. The others quickly draw their weapons as the Elezen identifies himself as the infamous "Gold Boots", Captain of a ruthless band of pirates. Gold Boots and his heavily armored backup make a swift exit as they are out-numbered but threatens that they haven't seen the last of him.

 

The LNC invite Yayonzo to stay at the Hungry Gypsy as he is no longer safe in his own home. As they move him in, Sogarn heavily advises that Yayonzo get a hold of Mamaro to ensure that she is safe.

Synopsis: Cinnamon - Map of the Cordial 7/21/17

Upon getting sworn in to the crew of the Reverie by Captain Leranin, Mia updates Cinnamon and Simon on their mission to find the map pieces and keys to Greybeard's treasure. Cinnamon reveals that she has come across a piece of her own in the form of a red ribbon with silver decals that was obtained from a female companion in her travels at sea. The crew is now one step closer, but Captain Gold Boots and his crew still pose a threat.

Synopsis: Act I Scene II - Yayonzo the Smitten 7/23/17

At the Hungry Gypsy, a traveling businessman by the name of Raziel Fenring speaks business with Captain Leranin. Amidst their talks, Raziel reveals a brooch that begins to glow in the presence of the other map pieces. The crew's advances and sudden interests on trying to "appraise" the brooch makes him very suspicious and on edge as he takes his leave with promise to discuss business further at another time.

 

Our adventurers decide to go to Yayonzo's and Mamaro's new home to look for Mamaro. Upon arrival, they find out they are being followed when Gold Boots himself attacks from a cliff right above the house. An epic battle ensues as Simon Blacktail, a new blade of the LNC quickly dashes to flank the enemy. Sogarn, Leranin, and Mia cast spells to empower Simon as Yayonzo rapidly fires arrows at their foe. Before Simon is about to strike a final blow, Zatrann "Gold Boots" summons an earthquake as the cliff begins to tumble down on the others. Simon is forced to choose between saving his crewmates or slaying their enemy. Without another moment's hesitation he jumps down and deflects the falling rocks with his DOMAN STEEL and the aid of Sogarn's shield. Although most are safe as the enemy flees, Mia is struck on the side of her head by a rock and goes unconscious. Leranin and Sogarn desperately work to stabilize her as they bring her back to the Gypsy.

 

When they set Mia down on her bed in her private quarters back at the Gypsy, she stirs awake and immediately takes Yayonzo hostage, pointing a dagger threateningly at him as she demands to be set free and asks in confusion who everyone around her is. As she demands to know where her sister is, Captain Leranin zaps her with a lightning spell, tazing her back to unconsciousness.

Synopsis Act I Scene 2.5 - A Spontaneous Encounter 7/24/17

Sogarn carefully tries to remind Mia of who and where she is as he unties her feet bindings to show her the Hungry Gypsy in hopes of refreshing her memory. Zatrann is at the tavern ready to strike when other patrons of the Gypsy take up arms as they notice something afoot. He places the barrel of his gun to Mia's head as he uses her for leverage. Yayonzo then offers his arrow - his map piece to Greybeard's treasure in exchange for Mia. Zatrann engages the others in an all-out Tavern brawl as Sogarn, Emma, Flora, Simon, Yayonzo, and Valiastice fight off waves of his summoned demons and Gold Boot's pirates.

 

Zatrann makes off with Mia as he orders his crew and minions to retrieve Yayonzo's arrow. The Gypsy's furniture is in shambles covered in limbs and pieces of their slain demon foes as the adventurers escape through a window to the canal. Zatrann and his crew escape with Mia via sky ship.

Synopsis - A Business Proposal 7/25/17

Leranin surveys the damage done to the Hungry Gypsy after the massive tavern brawl as Sogarn gets her up to speed with all that happened. Raziel comes in and invites them to his home in the Mists. There, they discovered and discussed the nature of Raziel's glowing brooch once in the proximity of Leranin's glowing necklace. Raziel ultimately parted with an untranslated journal with "Greybeard" written on its spine in obscure, sailor shorthand. In exchange for the future disclosure of any new dangers or discoveries that may be relevant to him, Raziel financed much of the hastened repair of the Hungry Gypsy.

Synopsis: Act I Scene III - The Storm

Mia meets with Zatrann "Gold Boots" in a remote location outside of Limsa Lominsa as he strikes a deal with her that he will resurrect her sister, Estelle, giving her what she wants the most in exchange for all the known map pieces. Mia agrees as he casts a powerful spell of Necromancy to bring Estelle back from the dead. Something is amiss as she embraces her sister when Estelle's eyes seem empty. Zatrann immediately commands Estelle to restrain Mia as Estelle moves and follows his orders without hesitation. After the resurrection spell, Zatrann is left weak and is forced to retreat to recuperate.

 

Meanwhile back at the Hungry Gypsy, Azuki, under Zatrann's orders escorts Mia and Estelle back to the Gypsy as they raid the place of the known map pieces from Sogarn and Leranin. Mia and Estelle are forced to come back a second time to grab the last piece from Yayonzo, unbeknownst to them that they only grabbed half of his map piece that's in the form of a broken arrow. As Mia and Estelle make their escape, Estelle takes all of the pieces and knocks Mia unconscious, leaving her outside the Gypsy as she says that their debt has been paid.

 

Maevis, Leranin, Yayonzo, and Flora find Mia and chain her up, bringing her to the workshop before interrogating her when they find out that she's been manipulated by Zatrann as he was using Estelle for leverage. Mia tells them that the time to mount an offensive is at hand as Zatrann is weak from casting the resurrection spell.

 

Sogarn meets with Raziel as Raziel shares with him a secret of how he came to be in Eorzea. He tells Sogarn that there was an assassination attempt on his life in order to try and acquire his key to Greybeard's treasure.

Synopsis:Act I Scene IV (Season Finale) 8/4/17 - Operation Desert Angel

The LNC and their allies met at the Hungry Gypsy for a briefing, pairing off before receiving coordinates to Zatrann "Gold Boots" and his airship. They proceed to mount an attack aboard the Reverie, succeeding in shooting down his airship. While approaching the airship, Gold Boots uses his Tome of Necromancy to reanimate his dead pirate crew into pirate zombies and a great battle ensues. Estelle, under his control, fights against the crew before Gold Boots casts a powerful mind control spell, turning everyone's partners against each other. The spell succeeds on most as the adventurers are pitted against each other. Flora is immune to the attack as her key is revealed when it began to glow in proximity to Estelle's axe (another key) during their duel in the form of rings on her Auri horns.

 

Brawl List

Zatrann v. Flora + Maevis + Yayonzo

Estelle v. Mia

Sogarn v. Lithia

Jellal v. Jehxa

Ni'lin v. Kor

Umbre v. Wulfard

 

In the end, Zatrann shoots the Tome of Necromancy out of rage, releasing Estelle of her bonds as she lunges to sever his head. The others manage to sever his arm instead as Mia tries to channel her aether to stabilize Estelle. Zatrann then shoots Estelle before Mia could finish the spell, Estelle disintegrating into ashes onto her lap as Mia lunges with rage at Zatrann before being stopped by Flora. The adventurers now have Zatrann "Gold Boots" as a prisoner, chained up in the workshop of the Gypsy.

 

[align=center]Here lies Estelle Siserae, beloved sister and friend. The Desert Angel taken from this world too soon, may she rest peacefully in Hydaelyn's eternal embrace.

Synopsis: Act II Scene I - Key of the Duelist 8/18/17

Infected by a parasitic disease leeching her aether during the battle with Gold Boots, Flora comes to the LNC and her allies for aid. Voidsent blood seemed to help quell her symptoms temporarily. Sogarn discovers, through an Allagan tome, her condition may be linked to a creature in the Void feeding off her aether. In an attempt to lure the parasitic creature into their realm, Flora splits the group into two to find a place of highly concentrated aether.

Upon arrival of the two spots of highly concentrated aether, the adventurers split up into two teams in an attempt to summon and do away with the voidbeast that was plaguing Flora. A tear into the void appears as a monstrous arm rips through the tear and attacks the adventurers (One arm in one location, the other arm in the other location). Sogarn's team is able to defeat the void-arm with Leranin's summoned Bahamut and by empowering Erie'li in his massive punch that obliterated the voidbeast's arm. Whereas Flora's team barely makes it out with their lives, Kor and Mia end up tainted with voidblood.

 

Back at the Gypsy, Sogarn and Auoren are able to purge Mia of the voidblood taint in time, but Leranin get's injured via Maevis' accidental arrow while trying to purge Kor. Kor grows violent and rabid before they knock him out and strap him to a bed. A strange rock seems to be glowing in Kor's waist pouch.

Synopsis: Finale Act II Scene IV - Key of the Duelist

The adventurers meet up at the new Gypsy as they go over the plan to summon the voidbeast in a aether bare area with the charged aether crystals to slay it once and for all.

 

[align=center]zl5uc29.png[/align]

 

They all arrive in Coerthas where Flora summons the beast as an epic battle ensues. The adventurers having fought part of the beast before, have learned of its strength and weaknesses as they are finally able to subdue the voidbeast long enough for Flora to super charge a final blow to the beast with her enchanted key to Greybeard's treasure in the form of rings on her horns.

Act III LNC - Heart of the Reverie Preview: Mischief awaited the adventurers at the Gypsy as Admiral Leranin came across an artifact laying around. Upon picking it up, it immediately turns her into a lalafell. She calls Mia into her office and sobs as Mia picks up the sphere to examine it when it suddenly changes her into what the Admiral originally was, an Au Ra. The orb slips out of her hand and rolls across the floor as Corbin walks in, the orb tapping his foot as it instantly changes him into a female Miqo'te. In frustration Mia kicks the orb away as Sogarn comes through the door and picks it up before leaving, the crew finding out later on that he had turned into what Corbin was, a male Miqo'te.

 

Zatrann "Gold Boots" who originally planted the artifact, decides to use it to get his arm back and try and disguise himself as one of the LNC officers. To his complete disappointment, the orb changes him into a voluptuous Hyur female. While studying the orb, the artifact accidentally rolls off the table and ends up turning Si'mon into a female version of his Auri self.

Masquerade Synopsis: By the time the clock struck midnight, what was seemingly a perfect evening spiraled into chaos with a curious visit from a Primal, attempted murder afoot, and a surprise visit from the killer's husband. All seemed fair as Corbin gathers everyone for the closing ceremony and before she finishes, Azuki mounts a surprise attack on her. Corbin is stabbed in the back with Kemler's accursed sword wielded by Azuki. Azuki barely escapes as the adventurers chase after her. The LNC thought they were rid of the demonic Kemler who possessed Corbin by throwing the sword and coffin into a volcano, but somehow the sword survived...
