western mission
A PHANTASMAL DIVERTIMENTO
It's an early morning for the manor when Tatara and G'raha gather the western wizards, an envelop in Tatara's hand. Even at a glance it's clear the letter is from someone quite official, the Western country's emblem emblazoned on it. G'raha looks pensive, but Tatara seems.. unsurprised.
He holds up the envelope, gesturing with it. "We've got a request from the Western military. Seems there's an issue going on at some noble's estate that could be quite dangerous."
(But why isn't the military handling it themselves?)
Tatara takes the letter out from its envelope, reading it out for the wizards. The contents are as follows:
"There's something strange about this request," G'raha says, arms crossed over his chest. "I feel like there's something the General isn't telling us, but I can't say for sure as I've not met the man."
Tatara nods, handing the letter over for the wizards to take. "Do your best to come back in one piece."
The two will walk with them to the elevator, Tatara placing a mana stone into the panel and sending them off to the West. There are directions to the estate included with the letter Tatara handed over, so they should know where they're going.

To the "Western" wizards of the Sage,
I've come to know a few of you wizards who claim to hail from worlds far from this one, and while I am loath to trust anyone with a task concerning national safety, I believe it could be a mutually beneficial thing for us. There are reports of missing people, all of whom were last seen at the the Schropfer Estate just outside the City of Foam, as well as reports of inhuman screams and beasts lurking around the area.
The Schropfers have recently hired on someone who claims to be able to raise the dead, and people are quite adamant that he is able to. That sounds like magic to me, which means it may be just the job for a wizard to handle. If you can take care of this, there will be compensation.
Regards, Gen. Gilles Barnett.

OOC NOTES
Welcome, Western wizards, to your mission!
Missions are mod-guided events that are partial CYOA, partial play-by-post instances. In general, you are free to interact with a scene as you please, and the mod will tell you how the scene reacts as a consequence of your actions. Some scenes will allow for more flexible threading, such as exploration or conversation, while some scenes will require strict turn order to preserve rounds, such as combat or other time-sensitive conflict. The mod will inform you if strict turn order is required at the start of a scene. Regardless, always be sure to bold any important actions you take.
This mission has been specifically tailored to Western disposition, attitudes, and magic. If you find yourself struggling to tackle a situation, refresh yourself on the description of the West on the locations page, and make sure to confer with your teammates too!
As a bonus, here's your theme music!
You will have until 11:59 AM EDT on Saturday, June 15 to reach a conclusion for this mission. Good luck!

[ indeed he seems fine! ignore how his voice is flat now, again it's fine. ]
no subject
Urianger asks the question before he has a chance to do so, and repeating it seems like a waste of time, so instead he answers Khun's inquiry now. ]
...As for your earlier question, I sent my bird forward. Why did you ask?
no subject
[ points up. ]
no subject
[Pretty sure we didn't see much up there, even if it's dark as hecc.
Haunted houses with darkness void windows..... surely this is fine.]
Poltergeist...
[Right, poltergeists are the ones that are actually corporeal.]
no subject
[ how do you fight ghosts, he feels like he's going to learn that very shortly. ]
no subject
I have extensive experience battling such creatures and they never make it easy.
Generally such creatures would need to be exorcised or sealed within some kind of container.
[ He hopes it isn't a ghost, though but hrmmm. ]
no subject
[Was that fine. Well, it was dealt with. Cid rummages in his pockets thoughtfully......]
Guess I’ll sacrifice another bottle if it comes down to it.
[He doesn’t mind fighting ghosts. Exorcising them might be a bit out of his wheelhouse, but you miss 100% of the ghostbusts you don’t bust.]
no subject
[ Smashcut to screaming, stabbing, gunshots, and broken bones. But it was fine. ]
But I am glad you will provide another container in the event that it is a repeat of the very same.
[ Anyway thank Aeons for the talismans because we don't need anyone being possessed... ]
no subject
[ He still doesn't quite understand why his bird got basically disappeared since he hadn't exactly sent it upwards, and it's still bothering him, but... ]
Whatever it is, we'll eventually have to take care of it, though considering the narrow options available in pursuing that way forward...
[ They have other places they should take first/try first, he thinks. ]
no subject
[ worst comes to worst he just precasts a shield. ]
