Winter has been unusually harsh to Rabanastre, victimising the city rather than anywhere else. Its long outstayed its welcome and hit the city far too hard for rational explanation. Its left its snow with regular blizzards, its made it difficult to walk through the streets, its rendered many bed ridden with everything to simple colds to Pneumonia. Many citizens are finding that keeping fires going isn't quite enough. Many sources of heat like steam vents, heaters, even just a warm room are swamped or turned into a sort of business where access to warmth has to be brought. The Arcadians are being blamed.

The Arcadian ruler is displeased with the fact that he has to make regular pleas to other cities for clothing scraps or fuel for fires. Judges in thick hides, furs and boots chase leads to the cause of the snow. Spring is reported to be a month late for Rabanastre but no-where else so suspicions are high.

Many Hunter clans within the city are also conducting their investigations. Due to the strange weather hitting the indigenous species hard and making most forms of travel near impossible, their lively-hood appears to be at stake. A group of frustrated hunters exacerbates things. Guilds of clothing in the city are having a huge boon in business, but only as long as material arrives regularly from donations. Hunting for skins and fur from animals that are nearly wiped out wouldn't help anyone at this point.

One such group, however, is planning a cunning way of escaping to find help past the Eastersands. The Moogle Front is a group that back up moogles in trouble. If they don't have legal representation for instance, The Front will provide. Help on starting a buisness, The Front will point to an expert. If a thick layer of snow is able to render a city mostly paralysed then that's bad for every Moogle's business. Drops in temperature could kill of customers and its their civic duty. So the plam was to build a machine that could escape the snow through the Eastersands to eventually evacuate or bring more aid to Rabanastre. One snag: it has be built from whatever can be begged, borrowed or taken from within the city's walls.

I want a group of Moogles to be played but all kinds of characters are welcomed.
