LIGHT, TWINTANIA . MIST . WARD 22
TOPMAST APARTMENTS . ROOM#21
⠀⠀⠀
Next Opening : Wednesday, 07/09 - 7 to 9 PM ST

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀A grumpy, old Highlander named Rafen Rackham runs the Crimson Creed. Named after his first ship, it's a place of respite for the Lominsan sailor or weary adventurer. You won't find any fancy, five-star courses here - only honest, home-cooked food inspired by recipes he and his shipmates would share during a rainy night at sea... And grog, of course. Don't rush him. His bones don't work like they used to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀For the longest time, he didn't know whether he would retire from adventuring but after an incident with crafty bandits, it was clear his age was catching up to him. At least here in the tavern, he can provide a place for people to rest. He also hopes to one day see old faces walk through those doors. For now, he'll busy himself by making some jambalaya and providing the odd job here and there for those in search of coin.

⠀⠀⠀

ICi. Leave your weapon in the chest by the door.
Only Rafen and anyone working on staff with him are allowed to keep weapons in hand in case of trouble. Take your weapon - and only your weapon - back upon leaving the premises.
ii. No combat, no spells, no fist-fights.
The tavern is warded and thus prevents the conjuring of spells within its walls. If you break anything of value because of your roughhousing, you're getting kicked out. The man is too old to babysit anyone.
iii. Shanties encouraged.
We like music here but if you like to play music or sing, do so from your table. We don't have space for a stage.
iv. Comply to the owner's or other staff member's orders.
If we see you getting out of hand, either listen or take your leave.
v. Your drinking is your responsibility.
The Crimson Creed takes no responsibility in what happens once you step out of the tavern while under the influence of alcohol.


OOCi. SFW only.
Mature mindset and age are both required due to the availability of alcohol on the menu but anything NSFW is strictly prohibited.
ii. Separate IC and OOC at all times.
The tavern aims for an immersive experience. Use brackets when speaking OOC. Reactions of characters towards each other do not equal how writers see each other. No self-inserts allowed.
iii. No drama.
This is a place for fun and to unplug from real life duties.
Don't bring any problems here. No one has time to play psychiatrist.
iv. Be aware of basic roleplay etiquette.
No godmodding, powergaming, metagaming, or any other behavior that causes discomfort. If you feel your RP risks affecting everyone in the venue, either do it in private or ask permission from the owner.
v. Things to consider in a public venue such as the tavern.
MSQ experiences vary from person to person. Please be respectful of our desire to have everyone be on the same page and avoid having others be left out merely due to MSQ misalignment.

- No spoilers. Do not talk about areas outside of the Star.
- No canon characters. No mention of your character being related to an important MSQ character (as friends, lovers, family, etc.).
- No Warriors of Light/Darkness, Ascians, Voidsent. As this is an adventurer's tavern, White and Black Mages are tolerated but keep in mind that IC actions have IC consequences.

Note : Do what you want in private roleplay outside of the venue, but please consider that this is a public, SFW space. No spotlight effect or protagonist treatment is given here. Respect one another and don't be an asshole.


For any reports, feedback, or commentary, feel free to message Rafen Rackham@Twintania or open a ticket in the River server.

⠀⠀⠀

Every now and then, Rafen will have quests available to pick up from the Quest Book of the tavern. If you feel like you're up to the task, approach him and let him know. He'll be expecting you on the next opening of the tavern. If you're unable to fulfill the task on time, then it will be opened again for other adventurers to take on. What are you waiting for? Get to working!


OOC : How does it work?

All quests are to be found only in the venue's guest book. If you need a refresher, contact Rafen.There are 2 types of quests : CLASSIC and COLLECTOR.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀CLASSIC quests are fairly easy. The targets will involve common creatures in the open world with a bounty over their heads. Can be done solo or with other people.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀COLLECTOR quests are unique in their own way. They involve rare creatures from hunts and will require multiple people to finish. Collector quests involve a storyline depending on how many you finish.

DURATION
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You have time until the next opening. As the schedule of the tavern is not fixed, you're likely to have a minimum of 7 days between each opening, maximum of 14 days.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Keep an eye out for schedule announcements on the River discord. If unexpected changes happen due to RL, the deadline can be adjusted. Just communicate any changes within the discord.

HOW TO COMPLETE
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀There are two ways a quest can be accomplished.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀If you're doing a quest alone, you can write a short story about how your quest goes. Otherwise, you can also do the procedure below.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀If you're doing it with a party of multiple people, schedule a group roleplay session with Rafen wherein he will be in /party chat but will not be there IC. Instead, his roleplayer will take the place of the target and help you play out the quest.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀These roleplays are done in the open world in /party chat. Replies are done in turn-based fashion like in Dungeons and Dragons. There will be no dice combat involved, and the action will be based on your character's overall background and experience as an adventurer, and the difficulty of the quest. For anything that may involve dice like status ailments, modifiers will be planned beforehand to take your character's 'stats' into consideration. OOC discussion will take place before the day of the roleplay so we can get to know your characters.

REWARD
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀There is a monetary reward both IC and OOC for these quests. Do not expect hundreds of thousands in traded gil, as the primary purpose of these quests is to engage with adventurers and have fun. This isn't an occupation for you to make gil OOC, but a way to interact and welcome newcomers to adventure RP.

THE QUEST LOG
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀We keep an archive of previous experiences related to quests. Each entry has received the consent of all parties involved before being posted. If you're curious as to how our quests go roleplay-wise, visit the archive here.


The tavern's own quest system is an original plan and still needs tweaking. For any reports, feedback, or commentary, feel free to message Rafen Rackham@Twintania or open a ticket in the River.
