The Case of the Missing Jewels





As you hurry across the beach to look over the Freyalise Trading Company goods again, you bump into a very unstable and bleary-eyed Mattieu. He hardly looks like himself with wrinkled clothing and messy hair.



"What happened to you?" you ask.



"I wish I knew," he moans as he attempts to straighten his rumpled clothes. "Last night I met Captain Jaques at the Rathskeller Inn to go through his stock and purchase some new jewelry materials--I didn\'t want to pay those ridiculously marked up prices he charges the tourists--and this morning I woke up with the most awful headache. But that\'s not the worst of it. All my money is gone but I\'ve only got a handful of materials!" He glares at the Freyalise. "Those dirty pirates must have gotten me drunk and ripped me off!"



"But there\'s a whole crew of them and just one of me," he says sadly. "Unless--no,I couldn\'t--but, well, I don\'t suppose you be willing to come with me for moral support?



Privately you think he may need you more for physical support than moral, judging by his unsteady gait.

is the plot over? can I still do it?
this plot was a pain in the patoot to complete, but i'm happy i completed it all the same... though i probably wouldn't have spent that much time trying so hard if not for mattieu being an absolute cutie. /hank hill voice/ GOT-DANGIT MATTIEU
Will it still be going tomorrow afternoon?? I'd hate to miss it :c
Is there a forum discussion about the missing jewels? I can't find one and forum search doesn't work... grml
I'll jump of a cliff. Just because of the leviathans. Why whould anyone go harpooning just to try and avoid hitting anything? WHY?
LEVIATHANS REALLY. This game is so tedious and annoying. UGH. why.
hey subeta! thanks for coming up with this little mini-plot. i LOVE this kind of thing!
face palm

never mind i got it lol i am super blind :)
I am lost on day one, i missed the post trying my best to catch up, i made the soapy bucket ......

Mattieu losing quite badly at a dicin' game w' a handsome young man........

not sure where to go from here and the form is missing info about it :/

any help is appreciated thank you

*P.S. I am not ping-able, SMail or Commit here or to me thank you
sings "Dude Looks Like a Lady" by Aerosmith
Of course he's a guy. haha. Now what am I supposed to be doing? goes to look
I thought he was a girl too. I guess I shouldn't let looks fool me...
Why are some people getting angry at those who didn't know he was a male o.o? That's a silly reason to get mad at someone. Heck, at first I thought he was a woman up until just now when I read it then I was like "Oh, he's a dude." I mean he kind of looks like a girl...and we all know jewelry is a girl's best friend XD. But really, people shouldn't get mad at those who were confused c: just enjoy the mini plot.

(If you know how to complete any of the steps, let me know ;w;)
I's gonna need help on all the steps w
I was just joking about it XD Always knew he's a guy. Mattieu is the one who should be offended... Gosh
yay plots!

but lol @ outrage at male/female stuff.
I thought he was a woman as well. I don't see why it is intolerant or offensive to say that. I was wrong, oh well, who cares. Now we know he's a dude. Some people just get offended over everything.

There's been a lot of plots lately. Subeta is eating up my life.
To the people who didn't know he was male:

A. What does it matter what gender an NPC identifies as? I thought Subeta was a little more tolerant. Long hair on a man, and everyone flips out. I hope you don't react this way with real people!

B. There was a point in history where he would have been considered normal in appearance and we would have been burned at the stake for being "witches" based on how we dressed now. He has a very classic historical look to him.

Enjoy the plot, drop your preconceived notions of gender, please. >.>
I love these mini-plots. Hopefully this one will involve a tiny bit of battling!
help on step 3?
I also thought he was a very flat chested woman
I love these mini plots! :D
-_- (at people who didn't know he was a boy)
I'm completely baffled by the last two clues... Anyone? ):
YAY MINI-PLOT!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who confused Mattieu for a girl....
Step 4 is GO TO THE RULES PAGE
I love these little side tasks that are being added to make events a little more interesting :D
I'm soooo stuck on step 4
All my love to whoever's writing this
>< Gah I'm stuck on 4, I don't know if I'm supposed to get a certain type of soap or not :/
Matteiu being a variant of Matthew...I'm surprised how many thought he was a she, despite his blond flowing locks.

On another note...I wish we could figure out the rest of the clues heh!
The jeweler is a man!? Yikes... I would have never guessed. XD
good. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't supposed to have a full one and an empty one ;)
Kel
I think it's supposed to be filled xD
the board is saying you get empty from #1 and filled at #2, I figured out #1 but didn't check my inventory before going to #2 so all I have is a filled one.
Kel
@Extract
I got a full bucket from the #2 clue
unless it was then filled?
I went to get the empty bucket and I'm not getting it...
i feel like this whole thing spells out "you will get new tc items for thief"
Kel
@Babycake
The last clue refers to the Genetech, so it probably has to do with combining the sponge or the capsule with the rest =P
Kelzca: I tried soaking it in water but it just gave me a normal sponge, not sure how to trigger it.
I thought the capsule one was to do with those halloween capsules but I've soaked a couple and nothing happened. :x So confused.
oh I see...
Mattieu is a cutie! ^.^
Kel
I think +3 refers to the Sponge Capsule (like
Yellow Sponge Capsule
).
It's an old morostide item, and when you use it, it changes into a sponge =)
Guys, hover over the words 'come with me' and it should lead to the beginning.

Sorry Mattieu, but you kinda brought this on yourself hanging around pirates lol
'
Strange capsule in my
bag of treats, what do you hold?
Oh look, an old sponge!'

Would this have anything to do with the Candy Shack items being at the Mystery Box? :/. I tried opening a few but no success.
I cant even get started. I visited the galley 3 times and then the sable smithy and nothing happens
did you get a message if you get the clue right?
Thank you Kahne
Can someone tell me what to do with this clue so I can help with the third?

'Warm sands, autumn hair,
powerful elements meet.
Cool water cleans best.'
Step two is to visit the Secluded Shrine. I tried Shinwa first but not worked.
everything i think of for the third clue is wrong, wahwah
totally stuck on step #3 sigh
No problem, and I still can't get the second clue. I thought maybe Emma but nope.
@Babycake THank you!
@PuffPinky: http://subeta.net/explore/galley.php?act=start
MATTIEU SO PRETTY :P
How do you actually get it started? I'm sure I could figure out the clues but I'm not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling
Step Two: find someone in the desert who has "autumn"-coloured hair.
I've got the first two. I have an idea to what the third is alluding, but not sure how to get it. After that, I'm stumped.
Step One: Go to The Sable Smithy
I have the first two, but am stuck on the third :|
I tried buying things with the word 'bucket', 'water', 'sponge', and 'soap' and combining the at the Genetech Lab but no such luck.
How does one actually get the first step..?
Where do fire and metal meet, think about that. Think construction :)
I'm stuck on part two myself.
I have literally no idea what it going on with the hints
For the first part, think about where that sort of thing happens.
i don't understand what to do((
this list confuses me ;) time to look around ;)
Poor Mattieu
Does anyone have any idea what to do after you get the shopping list?
Gosh, I totally thought he was a girl at first. :x
It's a boy! ....A very creepy looking boy :v
hmmmmm...what could this be? :D
Blondie is a boy ???
I thought he was a woman. I'M SO CONFUSED.
oooh a mini plot :3
Plot? This could be good... :)
...I always thought he was a girl...whoops.
OMG I AM EXCITED WHAT IS THIS GLORIOUS EVENT
Wait, that's a boy?
Ooh, new achievements too!
that is a joke, i am making a joke))
i better get some kinda discount a this dude's ridiculously pricey store for helping him
Eee, I get to help Mattieu! :heart:
I smell PLOOOTTTTTTT :heart:
The dirty rats! XD
hmm, interesting
Roofied! D8
