Welcome to the plot for October. This month, we have the Poltergeist Punchers running around the Ivalice portion of New York City. We have three (3) events throughout the month for this piece of plot, so every character that wants to participate should be able to. For this round, we need 5 characters to sign up to help Gail and Moltzhann chase slimers around this portion of the city. You’ll be able to grab whatever piece of equipment you want to help with from the stuff listed below, and you’ll be able to keep the item that you used when the event is over. Naturally, please keep in mind that ghost equipment may not be the most useful in day-to-day life, but, hey, free stuff!
Now for the nitty-gritty. There are five (5) slimers to capture. Once a slimer has been captured, it can be returned to Gail and Moltzhann and your character can choose to be done with the event or they can continue helping out the others. Characters can opt to work alone, or work together, whichever your character would prefer (though it may be difficult to get a hold of one of the ghosts while also opening the trap box to draw it in, but if that’s how your character is, go for it!). Nonphysical abilities will work on the slimers, but only to a certain extent. The ghosts cannot be held, captured, killed, or exorcised by any "normal" means (e.g. psychic stuns, force fields, explosions, or holy abilities), and can only be held and captured by the proton pistols and the traps, respectively. Any attempt to hold or capture by other means will seem to work for a few seconds, and then the ghosts will be off again. Attempts to kill or exorcise will flat out fail. Attempts to assist Gail and Moltzhann with capturing Ivo will also be unsuccessful. You can have your character try, if you want, but ultimately Ivo will slip away regardless of what is attempted, so it’s probably best to have them realize quickly that they’re better off going after the slimers.
Ultimately, all 5 slimers will be captured, and the next event will begin on the 20th of October, so please don’t worry if you sign your character up for this event and don’t have a thread with someone else completed by the 20th. Below, you will find a list of available equipment. When you sign your character up, please indicate which item your character is picking up before going punching! And one last thing, if you sign a character up for this one, please do not sign up for the next event so that as many people get to enjoy the event as possible. Thank you all, and have fun!
