The Great Vesper Bank Robbery – 2nd September, 5 pm EST


“But Captain”, protested Governor Spyderbite, “You don’t understand!”

“Governor Spyderbite, it is you who does not seem to understand. My men are the best in Vesper – possibly even in the entirety of Britannia. A crime has been committed, and we will see justice done!”

“But – ” spluttered Spyderbite, “but – ”

“Governor, your protests are only delaying the inevitable. We do not allow criminals to simply get away with this type of behaviour! I would think a man in your position would have a deeper appreciation of that! This is beneath you! Accept this like a man!”

“But they stole from ME!” the black-robed man whined, playing with his chain of office, then putting it safely into a pocket, just in case the robbers were still about. “You cannot imagine the value *cough* the sentimental value of what was in those chests!”

“Yes, and a great many other citizens of Vesper have lost their savings as well. As I said, my men are on the case. Robbing the bank of Vesper is not something that we can allow anyone to get away with. We will most assuredly find these perpetrators, and give them their just deserts!”

“I don’t care about pudding!” exploded the governor “I just want my safety deposit chests back! In exactly the same state I last saw them!”

“We will do our jobs, sir. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to make enquiries.”

Spyderbite trudged off, muttering something about “if they find my ledgers…”

Soon, wanted posters were all across the area, nailed to many a tree.

  • A very small amount of the event will be inside a guard zone.Most of it won’t be.
  • Announcements will be made an hour before the event, in General Chat.
  • Town Criers will give basic details of the event.
  • Feel free to donate any extra loot to Vesper. Or a town of your choice. Or yourself.

Another fun event, I definitely appreciate how much EM Kincaid does for us...
Now my critique... monsters too tough.
We truthfully aren't a large quantity payer shard, what we lack in quantity we make up for in spirit but I digress.
30 min to pound away at the Guardian than 50 min to take a gang member is just too long, unless that was to be the final fight. You do the math and if we kept our initial numbers it still woulda taken to midnight maybe...honestly I probably woulda stayed the course but nearly everyone dissipated after the first gang boss.
Anyway it was fun, the hunt was fun, the colors, I wish the calling cards would have been pick up able so everyone could take a momento from the event lol.
But anyways thanks for a fun time and your continued dedication!

You see: Saengkt ver beh the Detective​

Saengkt ver beh: Alas, good defenders of the realm, alas.
Tanager: oh my
Saengkt ver beh: The virtues are not smiling on poor Vesper of late. First, the governor is beset by unfounded accusations of corruption. Next, the waters rise, causing much misery! And now, some brigands sent, we believe, by the evil Juxmani's forces, have taken advantage of the situation, and robbed Vesper's bank!

Saengkt ver beh: They call themselves the Purple Llama Gang, and left this to mock us:
Zynia: *gasp*
Saengkt ver beh: *presents purple llama* These fiends used some strange magic to gain entry.
It has had the unfortunate side effect of turning nearly all of the contents of the bank's vault strange hues!

But, we are in luck. It seems that the sacks the robbers used are weak. A trail of riches has been spread across the land! The trail begins within the Vesper bank. I will provide a gate. Follow that trail, and find the thieves!

I will consult with the bank manager on better security, while you track down the robbers, and relieve them of their loot! Good hunting to you!

I got lost and took forever to get where they were all at, when they said Wrong I assume inside but it was outside in the Valley prior to the Wrong Dungeon.
