Lanning Manor’s 4th annual Haunted Scavenger Hunt! 

                             October 1st — November 1st, 2019

           Goblet Ward 8, plot 35 — Balmung Server — Atlan Lanning

                                                1st Prize:

Halloween themed full-body art of up to two characters. (Example)

1,000,000 gil

Once again, the Camera Obscura has found its way into your hands, adventurer, and the manor has been transformed into the notorious Hallow Hills Prison, home to countless fiends who have wasted away within its walls after committing the most heinous of crimes. Some might even remain in death, luring curious adventurers to their untimely death at the gallows. 

You’ve freed Princess Miku, aided the Little Bird in ending the torment of her servant’s souls, and solved the string of murders carried out by the enigmatic and beautiful Lillian. Can you lift the terrible curse plaguing this rotting prison?

Hello! Since this is my first Halloween Scavenger Hunt after the implementation of world visitation, I’ll take a quick moment to explain to our fellows who are not on Balmung how this all works. 

The concept is based off the Fatal Frame/Project Zero series, which is a horror game that uses the mysterious Camera Obscura to exorcise spirits by taking their photograph. The scavenger hunt involves you, the brave adventurer, taking “photographs” of clues given in small story snippets about each area of the prison so that you may lift the curse.

It is NOT necessary for you to RP for this event to qualify for the prizes, but it is highly recommended that you bring a buddy or two along to enjoy the experience together. 

Rules:

In order to qualify for the drawing for the grand prize, each individual, even if you’re in a group, must submit their own screenshots of all of the objects that will be listed the evening of September 30th on this Tumblr blog along with some appropriate music to help get you in a spooky mood.

No sharing of screenshots is allowed.

Please keep RP and OOC chatter to /tell or /party so you do not ruin the fun for other people.

Screenshots must be turned in to me via discord at Atlan#1783 before November 2nd, 2019 for your entry to qualify.

Because this event is open to everyone, the art prize request must be SFW. 

People who go above and beyond with their RP experience may be given extra prizes. I’ve been very impressed in the past with the creativity of some people.

For the safety of others, I do not announce the winners publicly. The winners are allowed to do so themselves after the event is over. 

The house will have depictions of violence, torture, and body horror. If these things make you uneasy please take this warning into consideration before entering. Most of these objects will be isolated in the basement for those who still want to RP without being subjected to it. 

Those who complete the full list of photographs to lift the curse will be placed in a random drawing for the grand prize.

You absolutely may use this venue for personalized RP, but please keep in mind that your fellow RPers may want to share. Please be respectful and courteous toward each other. Keep RP and OOC chatter in private channels. 

If you do not have access to Discord and wish to participate, you may also give me your screenshots here over Tumblr messenger. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message. Updates will be added before and during the event.

RP Hooks –––

Why Are You Staring?:  Oh hey, there’s a new wanderer in town. … And he’s staring. A lot. Oh. … Man, he sure isn’t one for many words, is he?

Piercer: You want some body art done in the form of metal bits shoved in places? The fliers scattered around the various cities don’t have any words on them, but they depict a singularly crazy-eyed blue-skinned fellow and a series of illustrations of exactly what he offers. Clean work, reasonable prices, and shiny results. No piercing is off-limits! (Note: Please be 18+ IC and OOC if you’re wanting a NSFW piece done. Please.)

Sword for Hire:  It’s a classic because it works. If you need a thing slashed to pieces, Altan is ready and willing for the right coin. Point him in the direction of a big scary thing and go!

Horselord:  Hey, you need someone to help with your horse? –No, not your horsebird. Those are awful and they smell bad. Your horse, though, definitely. Included in your horse-care package is a not-insignificant deal of grunting, gesturing, and pointing-at-things which may or may not be a divine horse myth. Stay and listen, maybe!

Pelts, Pelts Galore:  Altan practically lives on trading and bartering whenever thing-slashing times are scarce. You need some furs or some ivory trinkets? The guy dressed entirely in furs and ivory trinkets probably has some.

Literally Anything Else:  Don’t see something you want to do here? Contact me!

“It is what I leave behind when I am gone. It is how people will have remembered me..not by what I thought or what I had done but by their memories and nothing of my own. How they perceived me is how I will be remembered. What will…no…what do I hope to leave behind?”

“Friends…many of them. Not for the fact of leaving them behind but because I had them and they had me. From pure blood or to chosen family…”

“….To friends whom I have met a long the way.” 

“Even the ones that I have yet to meet…”

“….I want for them to remember me. I don’t want to be forgotten, my Legacy and all I have worked to achieve. May it not be for my prowess in battle or my strategic problem solving, that will be fine but…at least let them remember me as I will them. A friend to those who mean much to me…but…a lover…to those who mean more.”

“This…is the Legacy I hope I will leave behind. I wish to be no hero to anyone other than those that see me as someone they will miss…”

OOC/IC - Idk, something I thought up lol, kind of a future R’ih drabble in a journal when he gets much older. Screenshots aren’t necessarily IC btw.

Featured in the screenies though are 1. and Last picture @scholaroflight Gerald/Aelfric. 2. Grey (doesn’t have a tumblr). 3. @chxsingthemoon Acheron. 4. @nhara-tia N’hara

It’s that time again! 

Not only are we celebrating FFXIV’s anniversary with the Rising (and Mog Station sales!), but Spot of Mummery has also officially hit 777 followers. 

Since Friday 13th is coming up, and 777 is a lucky number (and to thank my followers), I decided it was a great time to have a giveaway!

I’ll be giving away 3 prize packages from the FFXIV Mog Station.

Up to $20 of whatever you want from the Mog Station.

~Third Prize Package: $12 Mog Station Gift~

possible hooks –––-

- Singing! If she hears another Bard singing on the streets she is instantly hooked. Juri herself isn’t practiced enough to have her own songs yet but she aspires to write many about past and present heroes! 

- Knowledge. Juri hasn’t had anything more than the talk of the Quarrymill residents and their stories. Often you’ll find her listening to conversations in the Quicksand so she can learn new things. Garleans? Botany? Mining? Astrology? Hell even Warrior training! Juri is open to listening about all sorts of things and asking questions about them too.

- Adventuring! Wanna do an rp dungeon? I’m down. Even if it is just the two of us as long as you are a higher level lol. Walking through a cleared dungeon and looking for something or exploring is a VERY good way to attract rp with Juri.

what I’m looking for ––––

- Contacts! Any kind really, even the dark broody characters are welcome to come and rp, she may be a cinnabun but she can hold her ground in a bitter, hate filled atmosphere. 

- Aesthetics! Send them my way with a tag! Do you think you have a good feel for her personality? Great, show me! Interactions with me don’t HAVE to be rp, hell they could even just be ships that won’t ever happen. By all means, tag me, message me! - At this very moment I’m only looking for in game rp. I know a lot of people like to take it out of game and exchange discords but I’ve had some pretty traumatic experiences to the point that I’d like to keep that private. Give me time and I might crack but don’t force me!

oocly, I am –––

A complete dumbass! I love to joke around and if you enjoy the most random things…you and I will get along great. We could be talking about coffee and suddenly my mind wanders to the inner workings of sharks. Don’t ask the “how” or “why” just go with the flow lol.

I’m super easy to get along with as long as there is no pressure, I’m one that DOES break under pressure and horribly so. Just keep it light, keep it fun and we can become the best of friends!

Currently I’m laid off from my job so I’ve got quite a bit of time on my hands so…I’m usually in game tinkering around. Message me in game or even here and I’ll get back with you as soon as I see the message.

Basics ––– – Name: Bazutai Uzuka Race: Raen Au Ra Gender: Male Height: 7'1’’ Build: Though much bulkier in armor, he is relatively lean beneath it. Distinguishing Marks: Tattoos fully cover his arms and torso, leaving only an opening down the middle of his chest and stomach. Few know of or have seen these tattoos, however, and he is most recognizable by his attire. Common Accessories: A very well taken care of blade.

Personal ––– – Profession: Lieutenant of Kami no nai, a criminal organization based in the Far East. Bazutai is loyal to its members and reaps the benefits of their success. Hobbies: Bazutai doesn’t receive much down time. When he does, he prefers spending it under the influence or in solitude. Residence: Kugane. Birthplace: Hingashi. Religion: None. Patron Deity: None.

Additional information ––– – Smoking Habit: Only in the form of illicit drugs. Drugs: Regularly. Alcohol: He only consumes alcohol casually, though he prefers other vices to relax. 

RP Hooks ––– – You are from Hingashi - If you don’t know Bazutai because of his status within the criminal underworld, you may know him from stories of his past and the small Hingan village he once called home. He dismantled his own clan and escaped after slaying the very men who assisted him in the murder of his family. Many thought him dead, another casualty of the random destruction of his home, but he doesn’t keep his identity a secret. Others have come to understand his role in its demise.

You are a criminal - If you are seeking to gain an upperhand in the criminal underworld of Kugane, Bazutai might prove a great ally. His trust could earn someone a place within Kami no nai, though it’s more likely to become a member through other means.

Contact/OOC Information  ––– – You could consider me a casual roleplayer, but it truly varies. If you can’t find me in game on Bazutai Uzuka (Mateus), feel free to message me on tumblr and we can figure it out from there.

I am 23 years old and have plenty of experience roleplaying on different formats (mostly MMOs). 18+ please.

“Kaien…you really don’t have to try and lift the Guardian Tree…it…it was just a joke but…I mean…you are welcome to try.”
