All right, I've kind of had an idea to use the Bazaar as a forum for an actual quest for some time now, I just haven't had the motivation or thought to really plan out such a quest. Well, I've got a bit of a fun one in mind now!

Basically, it starts out with Lasair poking around the Bazaar looking for a specific merchant that she has heard sells extremely rare and unique items that have great power within them. She of course wants to see for herself, especially if she can use it for the synthesizing. So she starts looking around through all the stores and stalls and warehouses trying to find this guy, but he seems to be rather elusive. Eventually, she comes across a group of men doing some back end dealing in the shadier parts of the Bazaar that most people don't see and they notice her and of course need to keep her from telling the authorities. And this ensues a game of cat and mouse.

Having more than one person involved in this would be great and of course, it's rather open-ended. The quest would really only work with a lot of planning once I figure out exactly who is interested in this. I'd like to even see someone hired as a bodyguard to protect one of the merchants, someone who is then charged with tracking down Lasair and whoever else may have been with her when she noticed this deal.

The Story so far...

I've got Dan interested in participating in this thing. He'll be playing Bad Guy #1 and will be the main person chasing us down. Between him and I we'll also be controlling the other mechants involved in this little racketerring gang.

All right, Dan is playing the bad guy and Mouse, can you link me to your profile and any kind of writing you have on the site as an example?

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize you had a quest sitting in your signature.

I also have two other active threads right now.

P.S. My character profile is in the link under my avy.

If you want, I'll throw myself in that...

I will gladly take both of you and leave this open to see if anyone else is interested in the idea.

Basically, Dan and I have figured out that Lasair is going to stumble across Cyril and his dealings with some rather shady individuals. During that, Lasair is going to find something rather shiny and pretty in one of the crates that she's going to inadvertently become 'attached' to. You'll understand when it happens in the quest. Then something will happen, she'll probably trip on a leaf and alert Cyril and the other merchants to her presence and have to high tail it out of there.

One of you can be with her when this happens, if you would like, and the other person may run into this little party in the making when Lasair is on the run.

Ooohh... an extended Bazaar thread with spoils to be had... lol. I'll jump in as the 'omg what's going on' person since Travis and Lars know each other he'd be more than willing to assist him if he needed help.

All right, I'll hopefully have the quest up tonight, and yes seeing as this is taking place in the Bazaar I'm sure it could have some potentially interesting spoils.

I just have to say...I hate you X_X. I was working on a similar storyline, and if you'd have just been patient...well, let's just say another week or two before rolling this out would've involved a clan and some damn fun stuff. But go ahead...have your fun! I'd offer to have Logan help out, but that'd just be too easy. ^_^

Clan? Vice? Helloooo...

That sounds nifty, hit me up when that's going down.

Heh. You know me too well, Dirge. I'll talk to Lasair when she logs on tonight. Who knows. Maybe we'll be pulling off this thing still.

All right, Taskmienster and Mouse, Vice will be joining us as another leg of the bad guys in this thread, which means we've got even more to fight against and this quest is quickly turning into something rather interesting. It needs more work behind the scenes though to keep it from turning into a flop, so if you have any ideas or anything you'd like to happen, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

So long as we work out what's going on so it doesn't turn too crazy...

The Thread (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?p=109049#post109049)

The thread is up, so everyone can make their introductions. Bad guys, I'm not sure if you want to come in now or wait to make your introductions when Lasair stumbles upon you. The choice is up to you, I suppose since either way would work. But I think it would be better if you didn't appear until Lasair actually finds you guys.

My thought is to actually have the bad guys already doing their thing. that doesn't mean lasair stumbles on them or anything, just that we've got our own storyline to work out before she does. And the best way to do that would be while Lasair is finding her stuffs.

Whatever works better for you guys, I am completely down with. So, if you want to start your own thing, feel free. ^^ Just anything significant you want to do, please run by me first. I'm sure you know the drill though.
