[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/2xzOw1F.png[/img] [/center] Join us as you try to break out of the Icewarden's prison in the Fortress of Ends! (And earn a badge, located in the prizes section!) Modeled after the Choose Your Own Adventure books, you get to choose your path through the story via thread links in each post. Once you reach an ending, you can post in the thread a picture of your dragon captioned with "Escaped" or "Captured" to let everyone see how you did! Then, play again for fun if you want to check out the other paths!

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/kBQkY7i.png[/img][/center] [i]Raffle event now closed, but you can still play for fun![/i] 1. Raffle event is open from April 22 through 28, 2018 (FR time) to coincide with Ice's April conquest push. (Users can still play through the choose your own adventure after the event, but no prizes will be awarded.) 2. Start at the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2401257/1#post_32293913]beginning[/url] and choose which path you will take until you arrive at an ending. Submit the google form located at the ending you reach your [b]first[/b] time playing. 3. One form submittal per person, no matter how many times you choose to play. (Please PM me to submit your entry if you are unable to use Google forms.) 4. Feel free to play as many times as you want, but please do not submit additional ending forms. They will be disqualified. 5. There is one prize available per ending (seven endings possible); random.org will be used to select a winner from all users submitting an entry for that ending. If no one reaches one of the endings, then all the non-winning entries will be pooled for a chance to win the prize. 6. If you find a broken link or link that you think directs you to the wrong place, please ping me in this thread with the URL to the post. If you catch one, you will be gifted a random familiar. (There shouldn't be any bad links, but just in case...) 7. I'll post links to all the endings after the contest ends for those who want to see the different endings. 8. Please ignore the numbers at the bottom right hand of the posts - those are there to help me map the thread and track the links. 9. To keep the thread visible, I'd appreciate it if you post Escaped! or Captured, based on the ending you received! [i](Ambiguous endings are considered captured.)[/i] If you had a dragon in mind while you were playing, feel free to post a picture of them too!

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/BSfwnOl.png[/img][/center] [center][b]The Beginning[/b][/center] Welcome to the Fortress of Ends! You, however, are not a willing visitor. [i]Someone[/i] was trespassing where they shouldn't have been in the Icewarden's territory... and the wardens caught you. Your explanation fell on deaf ears. Sick mother... starving hatchlings... treasure hunter - they've heard it all. You were taken to the holding cells in the Fortress of Ends while they decided what to do with you. One possible fate was being jailed in the Dripcave Dregs. You shudder at the thought. Perhaps they'd let you off easy - after all, this was the first time you've been in trouble with them. Although, they didn't seem like the forgiving types... Click [b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2401257/1#post_32293916]here[/url][/b] to start your journey. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/REwol5C.png[/img][/center]

You shiver in your cell - it wasn't drafty, but walls of impenetrable ice do tend to radiate cold. You go to grab a blanket from the bed, when you hear a commotion outside your cell. [url=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_igloo_bedroom_in_Ice_Hotel_-_panoramio.jpg][img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/The_igloo_bedroom_in_Ice_Hotel_-_panoramio.jpg/800px-The_igloo_bedroom_in_Ice_Hotel_-_panoramio.jpg[/img][/url] Since this was only a temporary holding cell, the ice bars were open enough to slip a cup inside or a small arm outside. You have a good vantage point of what looked like escaping prisoners running past your cell down a long, dark hallway. One of the prison guards stumbles and bumps into your cell before taking off after the running dragons. You notice his keys fell off of his clip and are amazingly within your reach. [i]Choose one:[/i] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2401257/1#post_32293936]Grab the keys and make a run for it too! This is your chance for freedom![/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2401257/2#post_32294087]Decide that it's safer just staying in your cell. You've heard too many stories about the horrors trapped in the fortress to want to accidentally face them yourself.[/url] [right]1[/right]

After you unlock your cell, you decide to take the keys with you. Perhaps they would come in handy, perhaps not. Better to be safe than sorry.

Now you have to decide what route to take - follow after the escaping prisoners (and the guards) or take your chances in the other direction. They seem to be running somewhere, perhaps an exit? But you increase your odds of being nabbed by a guard that way.

The path in the direction they came from seems clear, for now. Would it make more sense to go that way and avoid a possible confrontation? The guards typically come in from that direction and bring in food from there, so it seems likely that's the main area with a high potential for an exit.


Choose one:

Try to find a way out on your own, in the opposite direction the prisoners and guards were running.

Chase after them to see if they were running towards an exit.

You walk through the corridor, trying to make as little noise as possible, but there doesn't seem to be anyone around right now. Sirens are blaring the background, which leads you to think this prison break might be a bigger deal than you initially thought. The path gradually becomes less functional and more decorative - you come to what appears to be the main hall. This looks promising. Do you take a left turn or a right turn? Right seems to slope slightly downwards, while the route to the left appears more decorative.

You hear the sound of drilling coming from around the bend and the sound of dragons talking in the opposite direction. You think maybe dragons might know how to escape from the fortress, but then you think maybe self-reliance is best. Perhaps you can steal heavy machinery and make you own escape exit.

You decided to stop wandering aimlessly and look for some sort of sign to follow. Pausing, you hear a low humming noise coming from one of the entranceways. Maybe there would be something there that could help you. But at the end of the hall, you notice that the light improves significantly. Perhaps that would leave to a path outside? You contemplate your choices carefully.
