Quests & Challenges

I am finally going to do a [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/1904162#post_1904162]Pinkerlocke[/url], which I've been wanting to do for quite a while now, [i]with[/i] a few modifications, because I already know I won't be doing lore/art, at least, not when Pinkerton tells me to. Modifications: Buying dragons; I will roll a D4. If I get a 1, I will use the Nature auction house instead of the Realm Wide auction house. Instead of just buying the cheapest dragon of a specific species (randomly rolled), I will roll a D10 and buy the dragon in the corresponding slot on the page of the cheapest dragons. Materials/Trinkets; I will roll 2D20, and add the numbers up. That's how many times I will battle, according to medium mode rules. Food; (the biggest change) Take note of the food type. For dragons that primarily eat that food type, flip a coin. Tails, it becomes sick. For dragons that eat that food type as their second choice, roll a D4. 1, it becomes sick. For dragons that eat that food type as their third choice, roll a D6. 1, it becomes sick. For dragons that eat that food type as their fourth choice, roll a D8. 1, it becomes sick. For dragons that do not eat that food type at all, and for heads/numbers greater than 1, nothing happens. The next day, flip a coin for each sick dragon. Tails, they die. Exalt. Lastly, though not really a rule that's spelled out in the original Pinkerlocke, they will all be trained as mages. I don't have eliminates to throw around. [center]Now for the first trio of dragons! D4 rolls: 3, 2, 3. Realm wide! Species rolls: 13, 10, 8. Skydancer, Wildclaw, Imperial. I have selected Adult for age just this one first time, because I don't really want to wait around for the babies to grow up before I can start using them. Aaaand a drumroll for the three starter dragons!

I really like Shift and Knell. Huffle, though, I have never liked Imperials. [b][i]It's a good thing my first "present" from Pinkerton was a fish, then.[/i][/b] [item=Cobra Snakehead] [b][i]And Huffle got tails.[/i][/b] The others are okay, because they don't [i]eat all my dang fish[/i]. I am a mean dragon owner.[/center]

[center][i][b]Day 2:[/b][/i] Huffle recovered from his illness, and promptly gorged himself on more fish, this time snacking on [b]Black Tetras[/b]. Thankfully, they were safe to eat, for Huffle did not get sick again. [i][b]Day 3:[/b][/i] Huffle is apparently a glutton who does not watch what he eats, because today he apparently ate a [b]Blue Dragon Seaslug[/b], and got sick from it. [i][b]Day 4:[/b][/i] While kicking around in the shrubbery or something waiting for Huffle to stop being sick, Knell put together a beautiful [b]Violet Corsage[/b]. How cute. Maybe he'll use it to woo some pretty lady dragon down the road. Meanwhile, Huffle did indeed stop being sick. The [i]WRONG[/i] way. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=34510498][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=34510498&skin=11215&apparel=9452,272,953,12900,15143&xt=dressing.png[/img][/url] [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=34510498]R.I.P. Huffle.[/url] You lasted 4 days.[/b] [i][size=2]Now get out of my lair and stop eating my fish.[/size][/i][/center]

[center][i][b]Day 5:[/b][/i] Fancying themselves quite the [b]Scholars[/b], Shift and Knell decided to put their spellcasting to the test. That was the most terrifying level 1 I have ever had, and the most exorbitant use of potions I've ever done, but they survived! [i][b]Day 6:[/b][/i] Knell found an [b]Old Rabbit[/b] of dubious quality, but his Plague heritage seems to have kept him well. [i][b]Day 7:[/b][/i] Jealous that Knell has made himself a Violet Corsage, Shift decided to go hunting for some shiny [b]Emerald[/b], in the hopes that he might be able to find a mate for himself. Dragging Knell along for the ride, they only found trouble, and had to battle their way out. Much to Shift's annoyance, Knell even befriended a tiny mouse. [item=Glowing Pocket Mouse][/center]

[center][i][b]Day 8:[/b][/i] Shift apparently made himself sick by gorging on food while brooding over the previous day's miserable outing. He suspects it was the funny-tasting [b]Darterbane Leaf Beetle[/b]. [i][b]Day 9:[/b][/i] Apparently, Shift's stomach is rather [i]sensitive[/i], for Shift did not make it through the night. Knell, on the other hand, was quick to make a new friend or two, with Alyx and her [b]Maned Rasa[/b].

Shift.[/url] You lasted 9 days.[/b] [b]And hello, Alyx![/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=34853037] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/348531/34853037_350.png[/img] [/url][/center]

[center][i][b]Day 10:[/b][/i] Searching for food for the ravenous new baby was unsuccessful, as Knell only found [b]Desert Scrub[/b], and discovered Spirals do not like plants. [i][b]Day 11:[/b][/i] Foraging became even more difficult, as the local fauna took a disliking to Knell, and he had to battle his way out of the area. Unfortunately, he had nothing to show for it other than an [b]Etched Tusk[/b], which proved to be equally inedible as the previous day's find. [i][b]Day 12:[/b][/i] In a tragic attempt to find food, Knell finally succumbed to the attacks of the local Beastclans. Alyx found a [b]Dainty Lilypad[/b] clutched in his hands. As if that were edible.

Knell.[/url] You lasted 12 days.[/b] [i][b]Day 13:[/b][/i] Alyx lucked out and found a [b]Glittering Lacewing[/b]! Too bad it made Alyx sick... [i][b]Day 14:[/b][/i] Alyx also succumbed to sickness. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=34853037][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/348531/34853037_350.png[/img][/url] [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=34853037]R.I.P. Alyx.[/url] You lasted 5 days.[/b] [size=5][b]FIN.[/b][/size] [b]Conclusion:[/b] I think the food thing was overkill, or at least the odds of dying were a bit too high. It also made for a somewhat boring experience. (There's a LOT of food - flipping a coin every other day was kind of dull.) I think for my next attempt, I'll revert the food rules back to what they originally were, and think of something else for trinkets/materials. Once I think of better rules, I will make another attempt. Probably not right now, though, as I have a very terrifying baby boom incoming, and need all the space I can get, heh.[/center]
