The gates of the Northeast Vineyard looked eerie as always as they stood closed, locked until midnight when they would be flung open. Must like Before, there were groups of people gathered for the event. Some wore a costume, believing it to bring them good luck while traversing the maze inside, while others preferred their comfortable clothes for the quick and easy movement. Thus there was quite the variety seen in the crowd, but they were all gathered for a purpose.
For some that reason was fame, but for most, the reason was fortune. Everyone in Lodan knew that no event was worth attending unless there was a cash prize, so thus the mysterious group hosting the event had announced that there would, indeed, be one should someone succeed to pass the challenges presented within the walls.
The challenge itself was simple. Go inside, retrieve three charms (a sun, a moon, and a star), and bring them back to the entrance. It sounded simple enough, but given the sinister grins of the men guarding the gates, many were starting to reconsider that idea.
Those who had volunteered to help at the event were already inside the maze, and thus wouldn’t be present at the gates. Whatever they were up to in there would only be known to them, but hopefully they weren’t already fighting shadow beasts. It was announced that the Vineyard had been cleared of them, but no one had ever quiet believed that claim…
The guard standing at the very front of the gate pulled out a pocket watch, glancing at it in the moonlight before cupping a hand around his mouth and calling to the crowd. “Ten minutes!” he called, repeating it a few times over. Ten minutes until midnight. Ten minutes until the gates were opened and the event begins.
((OOC: If you’re interested in being one of those volunteers working the inside, post a reply here and await a message with details. As with any event, monetary rewards are IC only. Have fun!
