Job Title: Ballroom Talk

Job Location: Era or Capital Crocus
Solo Word Count: 3500 words
Group Word Count: 7000 words
Additional Requirements: At least 1 B rank mage or equivalent ; participating members must be from Errings Rising ; maximum of 3 mages
Job Description:
There is a posh ball happening in a city players have chosen. Word is that some of the most influential members of local community will not be missing it. There are also rumours about a discussion of new law implementation. Your task is to infiltrate the ball however you see fit and obtain the necessary information or physical proof. Make sure you are not baited by false gossip.
Possible infiltration points/disguises:
Waiter/server - easy - One may disguise themselves as one of the employees who cater to the guests. The posh people surely won’t shoo away a champagne refill, all the while you eavesdrop. There’s a number of such employees running around, so probably nobody will notice an extra.
A guest at the ball - medium - One may attempt posing as one of the invited guests. This way is harder to pull off, as it requires successful approval of entry by the door guards. Failure will alert the guards and you will be asked to leave or in the worse case the guards will attempt to call upon Rune Knights. If you raise any suspicions during the length of the ball, the guards will be alerted as well, but will instead attempt to extract the players. Be it peacefully or forcefully.
Part of the guard force - hard - One may try their hand at an advanced infiltration and attempt to pose as being one of the guards. It is an important event, so regular guards may give a sudden addition to the guard team a pass. Guards are always needed, after all. However, upon noticing any suspicious activity, such as any attempts at pickpocketing or the like, seeing one enter a restricted area, they will become alerted and actively search the area. The Head of the Security knows how many guards are present at the ball, as well as knows the guards themselves, so he will be immediately suspicious, as soon as he notices the intruder and will notify the rest of the guards, as well as giving a heads up to the Rune Knights.
Take note that the infiltration points are merely suggestions and the “ranking” from easiest to hardest ultimately comes down to a character. You are also free to just outright crash the ball in full force, though you risk not learning anything at all.
Enemies:
Reward: 40k Jewels ; useful information to pass onto the Guildmaster if successful OR 20k Jewels if the information is not obtained.
