I see, should be a pretty tough decision. LaPlace is really not 'it', sadly.

But it's up to you, not that it will end up in a hassle, though, sometimes those 'mini-world events' such as Black Beasts and Fishing Contests can give some good roleplay.

Still, about the 'problem' part. Why not some sort of informant who spawns by the Arena or any nearby place? I know it's a bit hard to think about something. Maybe a resource-wasting device (or rune) that needs someone to get help from an Alchemist and an Enchanter to craft, made of Magic Mud and Raremetal?
