September Event
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
Before we depart for our next destination, it seems Forneus has arranged a treasure hunt for everyone... on the beach?

Characters are now able to access the Golden Apple Archipelago, a group of islands lying far off in the ocean east of Mondstadt. Arriving first on Pudding Isle, Travelers will need to glide down from the cliffs onto the beach, where several tents and a bonfire have been set up. A handy Teleport Waypoint nearby allows for traveling back to the camp, as well as to Liyue if you need to stock up on any supplies. The sunlight is warm, the waves are clear, and the breeze is crisp - it's perfect!

A compass-shaped device nearby allows for the summoning of Waverider boats. These boats are piloted by slotting one's Vision into a slot near the steering wheel. There's a catch, though - if a Waverider is nearby, the device will not summon another. Meaning if you are traveling with a friend, there will only be one boat. Better decide who's going to drive.

Apart from the usual Elemental Monument puzzles and occasional monsters guarding chests, you can also find Echoing Conches scattered around the islands. These conches will play back voices of a bygone time when you hold them up to your ear. Many of them whisper of the people who once lived here. Thankfully, their story does not end in tragedy. You might find it rewarding to retrace their footsteps through the islands too.

Minnacious Isle seems to hold a ruin that's upside down. Investigating the monuments and various puzzles might tell you why. Forneus has left various Golden Apples hidden in chests around the islands - find them, and he promises a reward for you. Better get out there and turn over some stones!

State of the World

The Travelers' next destination is the nation of the Electro Archon. However, Forneus needs time to figure out a way to smuggle everyone in - Inazuma is under a Sakoku Decree, preventing anyone from going in and out without express authorization. However, he says he has a contact within Inazuma who can facilitate everyone's permits... but it takes time. For now, he hopes you'll enjoy your time on the islands. The oppressive atmosphere of Inazuma means relaxation won't be on the schedule for quite some time.

CRABS

[killtwice]

It looks like you've made a new friend.

[ He's joking. Honestly, Trevor can't believe that the crab is causing so much trouble. ]

If you're unable to capture it by normal means then may I suggest trapping it? Use some old war tactics.

[poisontippedcure]

[If looks could kill, Trevor would be dead where he stood. As would this twelve-cursed crab.]

"Friend" is hardly the word I would use here.

[She shakes her head.]

If I could trap it, do yo think I'd be in this predicament.

[killtwice]

Maybe it just wants to play in the sand and waste everyone's time.

[ Unfortunately, Trevor's used to seeing that look from other people. He doesn't budge from his spot but he doesn't want to anger Rose any further. Trevor just looks down at the crab with a sigh. ]

Would you let me take care of it then? I think I can teach this bastard a lesson.

[poisontippedcure]

I wouldn't doubt it. It's certainly a tiresome creature.

[Rose shakes her head and takes another look at the crab. If Trevor catches it instead of her, it might be embarrassing.]

[...But, it means she won't have to suffer this humiliation any further, so that's still a net gain.]

By all means, go ahead.

[killtwice]

[ It's just a crab. Trapping it can't be too difficult. Trevor is moving carefully and concealing his weapon while moving without a sound. He gestures to Rose while asking her to be quiet.

Whenever the crab comes out from hiding Trevor just strikes at it with his dagger. The crab runs off but it appears to have dropped something? ]

There's an item of interest and I believe it may be yours.

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose doesn’t say anything, but she does nod when Trevor finally outsmarts the stupid beast. She takes her hairpin and fixed it in place.]

Well, if nothing else, at least you seem to be talented at stabbing things. Thank you.

[She looks at the ground, eyeing the box of biscuits.]

Were those there before?

[killtwice]

I'm good at stabbing things and not much else I'm afraid. There's no need for you to thank me.

[ He's so bad at doing a lot of basic things and even worse at managing his own thoughts and emotions. It's kind of a mess. Trevor didn't even expect to be thanked for that at all so he's not sure how to feel at the moment. ]

No, those weren't there before. It must have appeared recently.

[poisontippedcure]

I'd say there's at least one other thing you excel at. If I recall, you were deft at falling out of trees.

[Is it a joke at his expense or is she trying to make him feel better. It's extremely hard to tell.]

If they were dropped by the crab, it's only right that we share them.

[killtwice]

Falling out of trees is an important skill. You'll never know when you need it.

[ Trevor says it partially in jest but his tone is so serious to the point where it sounds like he may be onto something there. ]

Quiet so. I never expected the crab to drop belongings in such a manner but it is what it is. Are you feeling hungry?

[poisontippedcure]

I suppose I'll leave that to you, then. If I ever know a tree in danger, I'll let you know.

[She chuckles.]

Not terribly, but a small snack shouldn't hurt. I'm curious as to why the beast dropped them, though.

[killtwice]

I'd say the damn thing just likes to collect things and do whatever the hell it wants. It's a beast. Sometimes monsters don't have reasons for doing the things they do.

[ Trevor remembers the hair accessory but why does it have food? It's so strange but Trevor was never one worry so much over something insignificant. He always had something else to think about one way or another.]

Are you missing anything else?
