All game-relevant updates will be posted on lostcompass, but you can also consider following eastbound. There is an informal optional game discord server — you’ll get a private message with an invite, once you comment to the Taken List.
Like it says on the application page tin — you can have a maximum of two characters in the game, and you can invite one new person in per month.
If you’re not already served on that front, we have some custom codes to help you set up a character inbox or permissions post. Both are entirely optional, and feel free to customise at will!
Your character is exempted from activity requirements this month.
Rufus operates a flip phone, so his 50% charge will probably last him until roughly the Apocalypse.
Rufus should, in fact, have suggested Tseng and he go by chocobo next.
NOTES
INTRO: Rufus wakes east of Taravast, in a desert encampment where the Merchant is accruing a small team of miscreants. The Merchant supplies him with a translation and communication device, and explains that Rufus has arrived in a world where undead factions vie for control. Otherworldly strangers have been summoned and weaponised in the conflict, leaving the Merchant to organise a convoy that will take them east, to forgotten beacons that can hopefully deliver them to their own homelands.
Rufus is tasked to lend a hand to his fellow otherworlders, who have been mired in the political entrapments of magical citadel Taravast — a gem of sorcery that, the Merchant explains, has avoided invasion because its leader, Doxe Bonaccorso, has supplied the undead with magical weaponry. The undead have been angered by Bonaccorso’s inability to provide recent arsenal shipments — a failure the Doxe’s ally Rigarda seeks to remedy with a new delivery. Two party members who obstructed the previous shipments, Eleven and Shen Qingqiu, have been abducted and are on course to travel with the weapons as gifts to the undead.
Rufus’ mission is simple: the Merchant tasks him to travel to Taravast — with the help of a handy teleportation talisman — and make himself known to the party organising Shen Qingqiu and Eleven’s rescue. The Merchant’s subordinate in Taravast, the the sorceress Karsa, can point Rufus to Lily, Five and Wei Wuxian, though you are welcome to have him find out who’s involved however you please (if you think something like a network post makes things easier to generate CR.)
Rufus’ assignment is to either join them in their outright rescue efforts of the abducted duo, if he’s feeling up for an adventure, or to simply pass them a package with a set of small orbs that are roughly 3cm in diameter. He is to tell the rescue party to scatter these explosives — which are triggered by being directly touched by undead — in the weapons shipment. He can also do this himself, if he chooses to participate.
It’s entirely up to you if you want Rufus physically involved in the rescue venture, or just passing on the parcel!
Like Jon Snow before him, Rufus receives no false Taravast identity. He is known as another courier of the Merchant, here to learn trade, and offered quarters in Bonaccorso’s wing of the Palace of the Doxe. Enjoy your stay, Rufus. It’s about to get bumpy.
ACCEPTED
Thank you for your application!
