Wow, nothing like getting an event based on my character's actions, and being auto-signed up for it. That's awesome.

 

And thanks Anstarra for helping me with the mess I got Kiht into! :lol:

 

But of course~ Twelve willing, horrible things will.. er, won't happen. Only getting drunk at the tavern, taking our tops off, and oil-wrestling on the countertop as per investigational protocol.

Event 2 concluded! Net gains:

 

 

- One name of a Syndicate-affiliated monetarist buying a Wyrmtear (or what sounds like one) and looking for other evil relics!

 

- One side quest to reacquaint an errant jerkbag Cartwright with his creditors!

 

- One dive bar on Pearl Lane, slightly trashed!

 

- One horrible lingering gut wound that will last until story's end!

 

 

All in all, good times were had.

Important:

 

As a result of the most recent event, there is a new Aspect that will affect the entire storyline:

 

/Wave of Anti-Ishgardian Paranoia/

 

What this means for players in Scales:

This Aspect can be considered to be present in all scenes. It can be invoked by anybody at any time for the usual expenditure of Fate Points. People in Ul'dah are being riled up about Ishgardian agitators interfering in the hunt for the relics; this could mean that you make somebody suspicious by making them look like they're in league with Ishgardians, or it could mean someone suspects you, personally, of being in league, and will not want to work with you based on that suspicion.

 

What this means for other people:

Nothing at all! If you want to RP a merchant being a little rude to your Ishgardian character, by all means. If not, disregard.

Tonight was fun. Verad is a great DM and I enjoy his little events.

 

It was fun to see the crowd turn on Eva and her to try and win over the one-eyed man!

 

Get out Ishgardians! You cause enough problems as it is!   xD

 

Hope to play in more of these events in the future!

 

Eva is a character that likes to rile up crowds, but has no points in the skills required to control them.

 

T_T she needs to go back to revolutionary school.

Event 6: Another Fine Mess

 

 

1. The Other Foot: Thanks to the No-Eyed Man's propaganda, anti-Ishgardian sentiment is starting to affect trade in the Exchanges. Between contract disputes and a greater-than-usual quantity of Ul'dahn mercantile skulduggery, to be Ishgardian, or to be suspected of being Ishgardian, has the potential to be a bad thing.

 

Even worse, offering payment for the return of Dravanian relics is one of the worst things the No-Eyed Man could have done. Where once the markets had been devoid of holy items, now they are flooded with fakes, counterfeits, and items of dubious value (Verad would be proud). The possibility that any one of these items might be real has led to the creation of informal swap meets in the exchanges. Is it possible to take an item that poses a real threat out of the hands of the unwary without rousing the anger of the Ul'dahn mob?

2. MIA: Verad Bellveil and Kyrael Astares have gone missing in action following an investigation. A message regarding their whereabouts was sent to Kiht Jakkya shortly before they went out of contact, but how to handle looking into the home of a prominent Monetarist?

 

1. Kiht Jakkya

2. Rinh'li Nelhah

4. Aya Foxheart

 

And, of course, once their whereabouts are actually found, recovery may require a separate group with a different skillset entirely.

(Note: Kiht Jakkya is the source of the information in this case. Speak to her first regarding inclusion before signing up to either half of this event for IC approval.)

 

3. Good Old-Fashioned Corruption: Give enough Blades an opportunity to exploit the downtrodden and they shall be even more thoroughly . . . trod upon. Hence the reports of Blades harassing Ishgardian merchants and confiscating their wares for "relic inspection." Confront them and fix the problem. There's always more Blades to go around.

Proactive Events!

 

1. Dead in Drybone: Evangeline Primrose has made a deal with the Dravanian cells in Ul'dah to gain their trust - bring them the head of Verad Bellveil. But why bring Bellveil's head when there are plenty of freshly dead people in Drybone waiting for the lichyard, all with perfectly good heads of their own?

Suddenly, I am going to have a bunch of crazies come at Kiht. This should be fun.

 

Not sure if the event means Kiht will be involved in both parts, but if I have to choose one, she would be best for the rescue (the second part). We'll have to let RP see where it goes.
