State of the Game: May through June

The weather has warmed considerably and the little green men with the big knives have been giving people trouble. The academy was reached, but a barrier surrounding the facility made exploration impossible...at least until now.

After learning of the academy's location, Illyana took it upon herself to use her soul sword, a weapon very good at breaking barriers, to tear down the one surrounding the Academy and subsequently erected her own to aid in containing the threat. There are a lot more tonberries inside, but it might also be a place where mysteries surrounding Aterat could be solved. Is it worth the risk?

In other, non-academy related news, the chocobo races are in full swing, weekends at the circus complex are hectic and crowds are large, but the curfew is still in effect so the events end early to assure people can get home before the sun goes down. The weather is warming up, flowers are blooming everywhere, and random rainstorms seem to crop up seemingly out of nowhere, but they don't tend to last for long.

And for a bit of OOC information, the following pages have been updated and/or added:

» New Test Drive is up, so invite your friends!
» The FAQ and Residences pages have been updated with information regarding characters who are underage. » All pages should be up to date (but if I've missed something, please let me know!)

Event; Academia Mysterium (Continued)

Now that the academy has been found, what are we do do about it? Why, an organized assault, obviously.

As our new NPC outlined in her post, two groups will be required to deal with what's happened to the academy before it's safe for exploration. Please volunteer below if you'd like to be a part of the "Deactivation" or "Combat" party.

Deactivation Party

There will be several traps and puzzles (that you're welcome to NPC/make up with in a log) that will need to be overcome, but while there may be a few enemies in the form of enchanting statue sentries, these can be avoided and this isn't meant to be a combat path. This will require 4-5 characters.

1) Yuki Sohma
2) Illyana Rasputina
3) Enis Edrin
4) Jagger Crowe

Combat Party

While the deactivation party make their way to the controls atop the central spire, the Combat party will make their way to the basement of the complex where the text chamber for the Voidcryst can be located. Creatures and twisted pupils will bar their path, and at the end, once (hopefully) the deactivation party lowers the barrier, will need to deal with the Voidspawn. Information will be provided on what that may entail once parties are decided upon. This will require 4 to 5 characters.

1) Ignis Scientia
2) Drizzt Do'Urden
3) Betsy Braddock
4) Jon Snow
5) Inesa

Parties have been finalized. Thanks, everyone!

It should be noted, as of the NPC's post, tonberries will no longer be encountered as enemies in the city. If you have any questions, please comment here.

If you would like to kill a character off during this phase of the event, please comment here for a death penalty.
