Our adventure began this week with the party in Limsa Lominsa, living in the temporary location of the Drowning Wench. After an attempted late-night burglary (which was aptly foiled by Lulu's watchful eyes), the party woke and spoke with Baderon Tenfingers himself. He still controlled the leve system - woefully underused in these times, he admits - and gave the party the local requests given to the adventurers guild. After harmlessly flirting with most of the party (and making a casual acquaintance out of Mikey), Baderon bid them well and sent them on their way. They met with a merchant who needed an escort to Summerford, and they got on their way.
The merchant was not the most appreciative sort, and got on the party's nerves a bit along the way. Nevertheless, the party managed to deal with a large wolf they encountered on the way, as well as managed to not get eaten by the legendary Skogs Fru. They safely deposited the merchant at Summerford, and headed to their next destination - the farms at Zephyr drift.
Upon arriving at Zephyr, the party encountered a shard of Dalamud lodged in a home. They contacted Jaerahn via their linkshell, but he was a bit intoxicated at the time. After reassuring the party that shards like this were located all over the world, the party moved on to their actual objective - a trio of Goobbues that were tearing up a local farm. After a noble but failed attempt at animal diplomacy, nearly being eaten, and Mikey's love of badgers once again being displayed in full, the Goobbues were defeated and the farm was saved.
The party returned to Baderon, rewards from their new adventures in hand. He told them that Commander Hisahn had asked about them and wanted him to tell them to head to the Moonfire Faire. Upon arrival, the Commander gave the party leave to participate in the Faire despite them not being able to perform their actual duties for the Storm. The party entered, and was told the prizes for participating - the true reward being a chocobo, just for them!
The party competed in a number of tasks, including an archery competition with a very, very lazy attendant. Azrael won by sticking the arrow straight into the bullseye. After, Lulu dazed the crowd with a victory over a very tough lalafell, and even facing Hamon Holyfist himself! Riju managed to win over the affections of the mysterious female contestant at the dating game, and the two spent many hours together playing pranks on the various carnival goers.
Eventually, the party managed to win their prized chocobo - a yalm and a half tall gigantic stuffed version, to be exact. They also received a variety of clothing items for their efforts, and Mikey received an exquisite staff made in the likeness of a Moogle, that said "Kupo" when swung.
The party sat down for dinner as the Festival approached its close. They received a letter from a Moogle, detailing the plight of Vereaux and her companions, and they decided to help. Soon after, however, a mysterious young woman asked the party to meet with her mistress at Moraby Bay, warning them that they are in terrible danger...
