Free Bahamut!

Pasifika has gotten involved in the matters of the far-away Tavnazia, and already had some interesting adventures there. Now she wanted to investigate some very mysterious events there, but first an old knight asked her to join his knighthood - well, why not... He told her to go check a lookout tower in Lufaise Meadows, and that seemed reasonable enough. All seemed clear, until Pasifika sensed a sinister presence... yes, there was no doubt about it, an orc was shooting her in the back with arrows! D:

Pasifika defeated the evil Splinterspine Grukjuk (as well as some other monsters while she was there) with a little help from her tarudin friend, and the old knight was very pleased - he even made Pasifika a squire. :D

After that little excercise - and a good deal of waiting for people to arrive - Pasifika took on a more serious task. Fortunately Phucrabiont came to help her, and when the others finally arrived, they all chased Prishe and the troublemaker-tarus to a place where reality seemed to be, um, feeling not so well. Shiny dimensional displacements and floating little islands looked quite nice, actually, but the monsters lurking around were less than friendly. -_-; Vultures didn't attack the party, but some came around to eye the fallen adventurers hungrily. Well, the adventurers didn't stay down for long, but there was a rather tough fight ahead...

Some evil guys were trying to catch Bahamut, and Pasifika rushed to the rescue with her friends. Ok, it would make a very impressive pet, but... x)

The first battle was just to test the strength of the enemy and fine tune the strategy, so it was naturally lost, but Pasifika was the last one standing! It wasn't entirely because of her own skills, though, but rather because the ninja she'd been paired up with was very good and Pasifika's mp lasted the longest...

After three out of six adventurers were defeated, two of the enemies were after Phucrabiont, and he kited them around for a while even though he was a white mage - fun and excitement! x)

Round two lasted for a while, but the fight wasn't particularily difficult, and so the plan to capture Bahamut was foiled - fly, you're free! :D

Thanks are in order for all that participated! /bow ^^
The plot thickened, and the adventurers found themselves in Bastok trying to solve the puzzle of airships and hooded figures... all leads pointed to Jeuno, so Pasifika headed there, but she was in for a surprise... o_O;

Somehow there had been a misunderstanding of some sort - what else could it be? - because upon arriving in Jeuno, Pasifika was greeted by the ducal guards, and not in a good way. Aldo did prevent the guards from arresting Pasifika right away, but the situation can't be very good if you need to be defended by the leader of the Tenshodo... The ever-hyperactive Prishe urged Pasifika to go and clear her reputation, and what else could she do?!

So... with all the grace of a soon-to-be royal bride Pasifika entered the ducal palace to convince everyone of her innocence. Apparently it won't be easy... but Pasifika will do her best. /psych

Oh my, you have been busy. Your latest adventures are most interesting indeed. I enjoyed reading your updates. It's so vividly written that I felt as if I were there too. I haven't done all these quests/missions you wrote about. Hopefully, one day I'll get to experience them too. Until such time, all I can do is to imagine....
I'm looking forward to attending your wedding to gallant Phucrabiont. See you online soon.
