Ready to go again ?
"Welcome, welcome! What a pleasure to see you again, always charming to have Beacon Travelers come and go! You already know what you are here for! Is all fun and games, I promise!" Speaks the man with the grey hair and red hat, familiar to some, stranger to others. Introducing himself as the one in charge of the floating island.
Just like last year, it is that time when everyone in your branch of Beacon, gets their invitations to Yugar! An envelope got delivered in the mail at some point in the week leading up to it, surely something to look forward to! Mark the calendar and all that!
The island stays afloat thanks to magic, so, as you can guess, the place is full of top tier inventions, gadgets, and with plenty of large buildings to look around at, mostly, turns out, are for accommodation. While the rest are for large events, games that are held to entertain an audience and those who participate are handsomely rewarded.
Oh, and let's not forget, The Tea House.
Join the games, test your wits, get rewards or gamble even!

DEADLINE: August 5th, 2023 @ 11:59pm PST
EVENT PROMPTS
1.) Battle Royale
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): First place :: 350 exp + 350 nums + 1x Joker Card
Second place :: 250 exp + 250 nums + 1x Joker Card
You know how this works, don't you ? But just for those who were not here before, allow me to give you a quick run down! Make sure to read through, once, just so you know what you're getting into.
Two teams of 3 Beacon travelers battle each other in the arena until only team stands.
No items from your own inventory are allowed. You may use whatever you find laying around in the arena, however.
Only two of your weapons from your arsenal may be brought along.
If you go down, one member of your team has to spend some time to pick you up (action). They will have an entire round before before the fallen person is considered out for the count.
Right after getting picked up, attacks targeting you won't be as effective (are done at disadvantage), to give you time to gather yourself.
And for the very first round of combat, you cannot be downed in one hit, instead you will be left with a sliver of health (1 HP), so you can be part of the fight for a bit longer.
RP Party! Join a team and go head to head against the your opponents. DM'd by either Toto or Nommie, announcement for RP times to come, keep an eye on the discord!

ID CODE:
REWARD(S): Acolyte:: 450 exp + 500 nums + As many joker cards as bosses you face.
Exaltant:: 550 exp + 600 nums + As many joker cards as bosses you face.
Surely you remember every single one of the terrors and enemies you have fell all through your time in Beacon, don't you ? Every large and imposing force that stood against you at one point or another. Well, it's each of those that now make up this make shift 'Pantheon'. Care to face them one after another ? Pick your difficulty and test your resolve.
Items from outside are allowed. You'll likely need all the resources you can get, make sure to manage them well.
You may call upon an old ally or allies, depending on difficulty. They will be limited in what they can do, but they'll still be able to assist you.
Only two weapons from your arsenal may be used. Choose them wisely.
At least one person must remain standing to win.
Teams may choose to forfeit at any time, however, all progress will be lost.
Acolyte :: Considered an easier difficulty. Party size of 5-6. 3 Bosses per run with one long rest and one short rest in between in that order. Levels 1-4.
Exaltant :: Considered a more challenging difficulty. Party size of 4-5. 4 Bosses per run, with one long rest and one short rest, to be used at players' discretion. Levels 4+.

Delve deep into a short but challenging dungeon crawl to test your skills. And what's more? It's a race! Two teams of 4 enter, but only one can claim the first place prize. Two RPs will be going on at the same time, whichever team can get through the dungeon fastest will win!

4.) Visit the Tea-House.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): It's a trade! It's a gamble!
The hosts of the Tea House welcome travelers and adventurers alike, offering fantastic unheard of blends of delicious tea, as well as a chance to gamble. A trade for a chance to acquire something from the owners' treasure trove of useful trinkets. It all depends on what you offer, of course!
For each three items you offer, you will get one, weapons and armour for an item of similar use, and so on. Sounds fair ? I sure hope so.
Comment in 'The Bubble Pot' channel in the discord server!
5.) Enjoy the show.
ID CODE:
REWARD(S): 2x on event pieces; 2.5x if collaborated
There's plenty to do, from helping medics and healers with those who just joined the battle royale and the dungeon crawl, to watching or maybe you're more of a gambler ? Place some bets on your favorite team, see if they win you something! There's more to do than beating your buddies up or running through a hallway with swinging axes.
Depict your character patching up a bud, cheering them on, or just watching everything go down.
Or place a bet with someone in the server, because gambling, of course, it's allowed, all with nums or in game items.
INSTRUCTIONS & RULES
[EVERYONE IS GIVEN 2 MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE EVENT TO EARN REWARDS.] That is a lot of time, but if you think you will still be turning in something late, you have until the 10th of the month to submit your creation and receive 1/2 of the reward. After that, we will no longer accept submissions for that prompt unless stated otherwise.
[THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE...] Visual creations (ie. digital & traditional artwork) must submit a colored half-body art and literature must submit at least 1,500 words. Everything will be viewed and read to ensure that the submission addresses the prompt it was made for. If we feel that the submission doesn't quite match the prompt, we'll let you know!
[RP LOGS AND CAMPAIGNS ARE ACCEPTED.] These must at least be 3,000 words. All of the participants will receive the same amount of rewards, so don't worry about figuring out how to split it evenly, haha.
[COLLABORATIONS ARE ALLOWED.] Speaking of which, yes, collaborations are indeed allowed! And you also don't have to worry about splitting the loot equally. Everyone receives the same amount of rewards!
[IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE OF YOUR OWN BEACON TRAVELERS IN THE SAME SUBMISSION...] They will all receive the same amount of rewards since they are participating in the event prompt.
[SUBMIT TO THE CORRECT THREAD.] You can find it here:

Do you really enjoy Cafe Phantasia's universe and you want to contribute to it?
Maybe by making an event or brainstorming a new dimension to travel to? DM someone on the mod team so we can work together and see if we can make it happen!
PLOT NOTES
This all occurs in the the floating city of Yugar. It's essentially a floating Vegas in the skies. Everything that you associate with Vegas? It's here, baby.
Are battle royales legal here? Yeah and we get to talk about them. This grand event runs once a year and is invite-only. Each region of Beacon gets their turn to be cordially invited for a season to participate in the battle royale. Travelers enjoy using it as an opportunity to test their prowess against their colleagues.
