[EVENT] Unwelcome Guests
Holy timelines, Batman! For those of you who have been keeping an eye on the Calendar page, you know there are some fun things coming up this week. One mini-event we want to point out in particular is that of Vayne Solidor coming to Rabanastre. For those who don't know who he is, you will soon! He is the eldest living son of the House of Solidor, Larsa's brother, the ruling family of the Archadian Empire. He is coming to be appointed as the Empire's Consult to Dalmasca, making him the de facto leader.
Now, notably there will be quite a few people who aren't happy about this. That is why we need a few volunteers to put themselves in harms way to show the Empire what's what! Take a look at the timeline below...
JULY 25TH
► Vayne Solidor comes to Rabanastre. This would have been advertised around the city, so his arrival is no surprise. A crowd will gather in front of the Palace, announcing him as the new figurehead stationed there. Say "hello" to your new ruler, basically. Have fun with that, Dalmasca!
JULY 27TH
► Banquet in honor of Vayne. Which will be played off as a way to bridge the gap between the Empire and its newest puppet city. Characters with some higher station in society and government will find themselves invited to the party--you may even get close enough to chat with him! If you're lucky. Your character may also find themselves working the kitchen or delivering supplies, depending on their day job.
► The great heist! Those who want to shove it up to the Empire where the sun don't shine sneak into the palace to cause some trouble and/or just steal fun things. This will not go as planned. All those immediately involved will be apprehended by the end of the night.
JULY 28TH
► Off to prison with ye scoundrels! Those captured will be sent off to the Nalbina Dungeons. This place is infamous for housing the notorious criminals and troublemakers that wander the streets of Rabanastre. It's rumored there may still be Prisoners of War hidden down there, as well. It is also known for being quite inescapable...
► Were you in on this too? Friends, family, co-workers, even acquaintances of the captured will be interviewed thoroughly over the next few days. Don't expect to get a lot of work done if you happen to know anyone who disappeared into the dungeons.
JULY 29TH
► I don't think we're alone here... Nope. There are plenty of fun monsters to fight, and some are better to just run from.
► Is that you, Cap? Our intrepid adventurers who are keen on escape will, in their wanderings, find a man in a cage deep in the darker parts of the dungeons. This is the rumored War Criminal Captain Basch fon Ronsenburgfonronsenburg, the man said to have slain the King of Dalmasca. Think what you will of him. He may come in handy if you really wish to leave.
AUGUST 2ND
► The sweet smell of freedom! With a combination of skill, luck, and the ability to run quickly from the more formidable foes, our rag-tag crew of criminals has escaped the dungeons! They find themselves in the Dalmasca Westersand and are free to do as they wish, though contacting their friends and loved ones may be a good place to start.
We are looking for four non-FFXII characters who are willing to break into the palace and cause some trouble. You will be meeting Vaanurchin in the process. Who knows, maybe you'll run into a couple Sky Pirates in the process?
If you'd like to volunteer, please comment below letting us know! If we have more than four people interested, we will do a random number generator to choose who is going. This will be finalized Thursday at 5:00 PM EST.
We also realize that Otakon is this weekend, so please don't feel pressured to get everything done right away. Back-tagging, especially in things like this, is always welcome. And we apologize for the lateness of this post, we meant to get it up last night but had some scheduling issues.
Also, next week we will be starting the weekly newsletters! Which also means...HUNTS WILL BEGIN!

"Relax. It's just a corpse. Jump at every little thing down here and you'll wear yourself out. It's not even a proper dungeon. They just sealed off the bottom level of the fortress. Take a look around. We're not the first they've thrown down here."
