Name: Red Banquet Under the Dead Moon Difficulty: Long Participants: Vyra Emrakul Story: Her world torn asunder, Vyra finds herself in a place she never envisioned being again. Alone. Worse even, hunted. The ramifications of her horrid plight in the Northern parts of Fiore having come home, rendering the Demi-Human both a fugitive and outcaste from Blue Pegasus, Vyra has nobody. Nothing to her name. In desperation, she seeks aid from the most unsavory sources. But in reality, she finds herself amidst a trap of her own making. An impossible choice presented. Surrender to the Rune Knights and face the punishment owed to her. Or allow herself auctioned off. A trophy for one sick enough to barter with lives like that of bread. And one in particular who views the Demi-Human as a tool to achieve unnatural power foreign to this world. One who will discard Vyra away once she is done with her. Objective: Thrown to the unforgiving world once again with the proverbial noose tightening more and more around her neck, Vyra is on her own once again, this time as a wanted woman. With no options available, she turns to a guild whom she has never heard of, unwittingly finding herself a toy for their wicked game, forced in servitude to a member whom views her as an instrument than as a person. The clock is ticking. The Dead Moon rises soon. And then the noose shall be strung up once and for all. |
Name: No Residence Rank: A Type: Bad Participants:
Summary: With the Rune Knight occupation of Hargeon remains in effect, Vyra finds her window of freedom shrinking with each given day. The task of escaping and evading the constant patrols of the Rune Knights has become routine, but something that cannot be sustained. After another such escape attempt, Vyra has an unlikely encounter with a notorious shady broker who informs the Demi-Human of an unexpected ally. A guild, one that she had not heard of before, that would be able to provide her with a safe retreat out of the city. The only problem is that the location where she can meet them is deep within the poorer parts of the city, no doubt through multiple patrol patterns of Rune Knights. Hopeful despite the great risk, Vyra descends through the dangerous alleyways that are littered with Rune Knights, eventually managing to find the rendezvous location, an abandoned bar that she had seen often times before.

Name: Highest Bidder Rank: A Type: Bad Participants:
Summary: In locating the guild supposedly offering her safe passage out of Hargeon, Oración Seis, Vyra quickly comes to realize it is not as first indicated; the shady broker who pointed her in this direction knowingly led her to a slave auction, one that intends to feature her. Unable to react quickly enough, Vyra is drugged, ensnared and auctioned off to a number of secretive figures as a 'highly desirable prize'. It is not long until the bidding begins and the price starts to hit exceedingly high numbers, it becoming apparently clear that for one woman in particular, she is not to leave without the Demi-Human in her possession. And after a short back and forth between her and another bidder, that desire becomes a reality as she wins the auction for Vyra's ownership. Others:

Summary: Upon Vyra's purchase, it all seemed like a blur. One moment on stage bound in shackles and cuffs that prevented her from being able to do anything to now being within an impressive estate, one that rivaled the Blue Pegasus Guild Hall; The home of the Red Queen, Katrina Lesterin. Quickly, Vyra comes to realize the situation she's in, the sort of woman whom purchased her. An elegant, yet cruel woman, one who through brutal means enslaved the numerous women serving beneath her. As Vyra is introduced to the world that she is now apart of, she encounters a lone ally, a mysterious woman who goes by the Lady of Thorn, that seems to convey sympathy for Vyra. Despite that, the Demi-Human is further introduced to this new world, and happening to hint that it may not be quite the last stop for her when all is said and done. Others:

Name: Guest Right Rank: S Type: Bad Participants:
Summary: Vyra comes to finally understand just what her new Master had in mind, as the festivities planned are actually a high-society party. But a party not among people of positive stature, but rather that of various underworld associates. Associates whom Vyra and the rest of the Red Queen's handmaidens must tend to, no matter the request. Unfortunately, Vyra finds herself in the keen fixation of the shady broker who first connected Vyra to Oración Seis and by extension, the Red Queen. Interested in the carnal pleasures with the Demi-Human, he orders her to his guest quarters, which despite as much protest as she could muster, she is forced to comply. However, in a brief moment of herself being in control, Vyra's distress is un-releashed, her wrath put upon the shady broker, several other guests who stumbled upon it, until she is stopped by the Red Queen's main enforcer and she is taken away.

Name: The Stockades Rank: A Type: Bad Participants:
Summary: Vyra awakens within a small cell within a dark prison-like system. Through thick bars, she can see multiple other cells, all with women in them, all having gone through various states of torture. From the corner of her eye, she can see the muted Head Lady looking over, a look of contempt in her eye. As she departs, Vyra realizes that her fate will no doubt be like that of these girls, if not worst. In her resignation of hope, an unexpected visitor comes to bring back life into her, the Lady of Thorns. The woman explains that she was invited to finalize the Pact of the Dead God with the Red Queen, with Vyra being the missing piece that would enable such an arrangement. She then conveys something that seems to indicate her knowing of Vyra's current situation, suggesting that she would prefer aligning with her instead. Freeing Vyra from her cell, the Lady in Thorns suggests that Vyra find her prior to the next evening, so that they may talk further. She then departs, leaving Vyra to escape from the Red Queen's personal prison. Others:

Name: Her Surrender Rank: S Type: Bad Participants:
Summary: Having escaped from the Red Queen's personal dungeon, Vyra finds herself experiencing her first moments of loose freedom since first arriving at the Slave Auction's location in Hargeon. Although tempted to run away, the proposal by the Lady of Thorns remains within her mind, enough so that she reluctantly stays in order to know more. Before that can happen, she comes face to face again with the Head Lady, the handmaiden who had bested her twice before. With her own agency back, Vyra confronts her and whatever backup she may have, eventually giving her an uncontested route to the mysterious woman. Once they meet, the woman explains that her influence with Nacht makes me a far more enticing ally, offering Vyra something, a rotten heart. The Lady in Thorns demands Vyra consume the heart whilst she carries out the ritual, and though she at first protests, eventually the darker persona of Vyra takes control, fulfilling the ritual, binding the Demi-Human to the Pact of the Dead God. In the immediate aftermath of this, Vyra becomes viciously ill, succumbing to the disease immediately. In her unconscious state, the Lady in Thorns tucks her safely in bed, expecting to see her very soon. Others:
