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!

...Hmm, we can all at least stick together until we get to the doors.
[ No sense of auto-splitting up before then, he thinks. ]
That said, it can't hurt to have more than one of us contribute at illusions. It'll reinforce the spell in general.
no subject
[ He's good at sound. ]
no subject
[ Jing Yuan is thinking about all of this a bit more as well...and given what happens recently, it makes him try to think about other matters as well.
Covering their appearance, but he recalls something else too. ]
...Meanwhile, I shall endeavor to not only focus on covering our general appearance physical wise but how well I can mask our magical signatures. That can be crucial as well.
no subject
[ Anyway, his part in the plan decided he will stick near Jing Yuan! ]
no subject
Everyone, we might as well see how effective our illusion spells will be.
[ So he will do his best to cover people's presences with an illusion, not only physically, but also their magic signatures, leaving the sound aspect to Leo?! Going to for an invisibility plus, fam. ]
no subject
[ so here's to casting a nice frost on their shields in case anything decides to come at them immediately. defense can be offense!
khun will hang out with urianger given their complimentary casting. ]

This countermeasure will automatically avoid anyone stepping on it and is capable of providing defense, offense or counterattacks in one. It probably won’t be needed, though, surely? What with everything else going on.]
no subject
[Urianger will erect personal barriers for all five of them. They should be able to stand a few blows each, hopefully thwarting any potential ambushes.]
no subject
[ Unless shenanigans so speak up or forever hold your peace(s).
Assuming some lighting is happening let's all go to the way to the right room with the sliding door that's up ahead, with Jing Yuan taking the lead as he is wont to do.
Since the door is partially open, it's probably easy to presume that it will be simple to open it the rest of the way with a wind spell, right?
So. What's gonna happen when Jing Yuan does that? And what does the room look like before any actual entry into it happens? ]
