Quests & Challenges

[center][b][size=7][color=maroon]Containing the Beast[/color][/size][/b][/center] I've never seen a locke quite like this so I decided to make one! This will be based after my previous War/Locke challenge that I got bored with. If you'd like to see it you can find it [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2570148]here[/url] [quote= DeathSpecter's Emperor Locke Rules] [u][b][size=5]Rules:[/size][/b][/u] [b]Creating the Emperor[/b] As the type of Locke suggests you'll need to find/ make yourself an emperor! 1. Decide how many heads your emperor has. This number can range from 3-11. [indent]A) If desired or if you don't have a set amount of heads for your emperor yet then randomly generate a number between 3-11. This is now how many heads the emperor possesses. B) For elements (if not preset in lore already) randomly generate numbers from 1-11 for each head your emperor possesses. [indent] 1- Earth 2- Fire 3- Wind 4- Water 5- Shadow 6- Ice 7- Lightning 8- Light 9- Nature 10- Plague 11- Arcane [/indent] [/indent] [b]Gathering your dragons[/b] Like with all Locke challenges you'll need to start with 3 adult dragons. 1. You can get your 3 dragons from your lair or the AH. [indent] A) For those wanting an additional challenge of finding a good trio set the AH cap to 10kt/g B) If you take dragons from your lair keep them separate from your other dragons. They can remain in the same tab (preferably at least on a different page) but they cannot breed or battle with other dragons outside of the Locke. C) These dragons can be of any element, gender, breed, color, etc. [/indent] 2. Your starter dragons can be normal dragons or gen 1s, though for a slight increase in difficulty non gen 1s are advised. [b]Lives[/b] 1. The emperor possesses 11 lives per head. While they cannot battle, they can lose 'lives' in an alternate way. (see #3 below) 2. Each dragon possesses 11 lives at the start of the locke or when they join. [indent] - Gen 1 dragons start with 14 lives. [indent] NOTE: this doesn't stack with the below list [/indent] - Ancient breeds start with 16 lives. - Light element dragons, Imperials, and Pearlcatchers start with 14 lives. [indent] NOTE: these do NOT stack with each other or being a Gen 1 [/indent] [/indent] 3. A life is lost when a dragon faints in the coliseum. Once a dragon hits 0 lives they are to be exalted. [indent] -At the point of a death generate a number 1- (amount of heads your emperor has) to select a head. - Flip a coin for the selected head. [indent] Heads= 1 life point lost Tails= nothing happens. [/indent] [/indent] 4. If all dragons die but the emperor still has lives left you can call it a loss or start over with a new team of 3 dragons. 5. Once an emperor loses all the lives of 1 head it wakes up! The magic restraining the emperor weakens. [indent] - The amount of lives this bond has should be the same as the head count. -When a head reaches 0 take a 'life' away from the bonds retraining it. [/indent] -If all heads are awake do a daily coin flip. [indent] Heads = The bonds lose a 'life' Tails = Nothing happens [/indent] - A 'life' can be regained by randomly generating 2 numbers out of 100 once per day after the first 'life' of a bond is taken. Roll a third time. [indent] A)If the number is between those 2 previous numbers you regain a life and your dragons manage to strengthen the magic holding down the emperor. B)If the number is the same as or outside of those 2 previous numbers nothing happens. [/indent] [b]Daily actions[/b] [u]RNG[/u] Generate a number between 1-175 to see what happens. 1-50 = Coli grinding day. Battle in any venue you want but fainting is a loss. [indent] -To see how many rounds you need to complete generate a number between 10-50. [/indent] 51-75 = New dragon! You can have one join from the lair or purchase one from the AH. As an additional challenge roll 1-13 to select a breed. To see if you get a Modern or Ancient breed flip a coin. [indent]Heads= Modern 1. Fae 2. Coatl 3. Spiral 4. Tundra 5 . Snapper 6. Imperial 7. Guardian 8. Pearlcatcher 9. Wildclaw 10. Mirror 11. Ridgeback 12. Nocturne 13. Bogsneak ** Tails= Ancient 1. Gaoler [/indent] 76- 100 = Death streak. Choose the venue at or 1 below of your highest level dragon and battle for 10 rounds. If a dragon [u]dies[/u] before that the streak is over. [indent]NOTE: Losing lives does not end the streak unless all dragons faint in the same round[/indent] 101- 150 = Art/ Lore day. Write some lore for your dragons/ the Locke or do some art of them! 151 - 175 = Breed some dragons! Breed any two eligible dragons. [indent] -Flip a coin for each hatchling once the nest hatches. [indent] Heads = live Tails = die. [/indent] [/indent] -Hatchlings with special eyes survive automatically and are gifted +2 lives regardless of species or element. [indent] NOTE: special eyes include- Primal, Multigaze, and Faceted only. [/indent] -If no dragons can breed or it won't work with lore refer to the 51- 75 number roll to get a new hatchling. [u]Pinkerton Drops[/u] These can be used as a substitute or in addition to the RNG rolls. Familiar = New dragon from the AH or your lair. Apparel = Breed eligible dragons. If none are currently able to breed you can buy a hatchling under 10kt from the AH or do nothing. Battle Stone = Death Streak. Flip a coin. [indent] Heads = Your dragons are safe and the streak doesn't happen. Tails = Battle in the level of venue matching your highest level dragon for 10 rounds without fleeing. If a dragon dies before then the streak is over. [/indent] Trinket/ Material = Peaceful day for your dragons. Do some art/ lore. Food = Battle in the coli. [indent] Plant = 10-20 rounds Insect = 20-30 rounds Meat = 30-40 rounds Seafood = 40-50 rounds. [/indent] [b]Losing a dragon[/b] Dragons can be lost many ways through nuzlocke variations. However while some die this nuzlocke features a 'run away' feature. 1. They run out of lives. 2. Upon hatching they flip tails [indent] NOTE: these do not need to be added to the graveyard as they die without/ after hatching and don't join the locke[/indent] 3. [u]Imperials[/u] fear emperors more than most, as the creatures are made up of dead imperials. For each imperial you have when a head or more on the emperor is awake do the following: [indent]Flip a coin for each imperial in the group [indent]Heads= nothing happens/ the imperial stays in the group Tails= The imperial chickened out and abandoned the group. Exalt, sell, or give away that imperial. [/indent] [/indent] 4. [u]Guardians[/u] instinctively go on the Search for their charge. Any guardian in the group (who does not have a charge already and/or [i]was not breed changed[/i] to a guardian) flips a coin each day after losing half their lives (6 for 11 lives and 7 for 14). [indent]Heads= The guardian stays in the group Tails= The guardian feels the urge to go on the Search and leaves [indent]you may give away, sell, or exalt this dragon. [/indent][/indent] 5. [u]Guardians[/u] with a charge in the clan may die if they lose their charge or lives to save a charge. [indent]If a charge loses a life the guardian may lose the life point instead of the charge. If it's the guardian's last life point they die.[/indent] [indent]If the charge dies the guardian might lose a life out of grief over his/her failure. Flip a coin. [indent]Heads= Nothing happens. They are immune to leaving the clan (see #4) because their charge is deceased and will not have another. Tails= Grief overtakes them and they lose 1 life. If it is their last life they die. [/indent][/indent] [b]Getting Dragons[/b] 1. By getting a number in the range of buying or breeding 2. By getting an apparel item from Pinkerton 3. Hatching a nest (if you got a breeding roll/ item) and hatchlings flip heads 4. Finding unhatched eggs [b]Rare Coli drops[/b] 1. Unhatched eggs. [indent]- These can be hatched or sold. If you sell the egg you can buy a Gen 1 hatchling of the [u]same[/u] element from the AH [/indent] 2. Eliminates. [indent]- These can be given to one of your dragons, sold, or ignored/ used for normal coli teams [/indent] 3. Apparel/ Familiars [indent]- You can opt to dress your dragons only with coli found apparel or with whatever you'd like You can add familiars to dragons who dropped them or choose to ignore them/ give them any or no familiars [/indent] 4. Genes. [indent]- These can be used on a dragon [u]in the team[/u] who dropped the gene [i]regardless of level[/i], sold, or ignored/ used for non-locke dragons [/indent] [b]End Goal[/b] Goals can be anything you want to set but here are a few ideas: You win by leveling up at least 1 dragon (or more if you'd like a higher bar) to 25 without the emperor breaking free. You win by gening your dragon(s) based on a gene per level (10 = primary, 15 = secondary, 20 = tert) or/and if you keep track of funds, when you have the ability to gene the dragon(s) completely.

Sugar Meadow had been given a mission by the Lightweaver herself; a mission that would show she was worthy of being a bearer of light and redeem her form to the former glory she'd been as a Pearlcatcher.

All she had to do was find an emperor. No biggie... Light had one raging around right?

No. The young dragon's expression turned into a snarl as she remembered Lightweaver's words. "Containing my mistakes will not be easy. Find what is hidden in the shadows and bring to light the mistakes of others. Be cautious- do not let it wake...

Obviously Sugar Meadow wasn't meant to 'contain' the only emperor she'd been aware of- Lightweaver probably knew how to handle that one- but her deity's words had said it was in the shadows. The former pearlcatcher stretched her large guardian wings and took flight to the sister territory of the Shadowbinder.
She searched far and wide in hopes this task would be a short one. However, it soon became clear that it would be a much longer chore than originally thought. Her guides Mercury and Iraia proved useless until they suggested searching beyond the traditional Shadow flight borders.

The search took them into Plague. Sugar Meadow felt utterly lost like her two companions as they wandered through the Boneyard. She began to regret taking on this challenge to remove her curse of being stripped of her Pearlcatcher heritage... Hadn't her banishment from the clan been enough? They'd taken her memories of home and her family. Her pearl was no use to remembering either; while she still had it, it was empty of any former memories. All she had now was the goal of somehow containing an emperor and the promise it would bring of becoming Lightweaver's favored breed once more.

Finally, the trio found what they were looking for. A Plague clan by the title Clan of Death held a sleeping emperor right outside its border. The clan was suspicious of their interest in it but finally agreed that Sugar Meadow could watch over the beast and contain it should it ever wake up. Naturally, the convincing wasn't hard; no dragon clan wanted to be so close to an emperor and the more claws on hand the better. The trio were given some provisions and a small camp area was made a short flight away from the beast along with a promise to lend dragons to the three dragons to aid them as needed.

Sugar Meadow stared at the four headed abomination with both fear and determination. She'd regain her former glory soon enough!

And feel free to post.

I'll be starting this soon so here's hoping it goes well.

[center][b][size=5]Day 1[/size][/b][/center] [u]RNG rolled 157[/u] So right off the bat we're breeding some dragons! I'll be putting Iraia and Mercury on a nest together! [s]Totally not because I want Sugar Meadow to remain pure[/s] I will admit, I dislike mixing gen 1s with non gen 1 mates but they do make some nice ranges. Maybe we'll even see some genes get passed down. [u]Pinkerton drop[/u] [item=flatlands tiara] Which means we get some lore to go with today's nesting! -------------------------------- Sugar Meadow huffed, her breath stirring the red sands as she sniffed at the ground. The day had been quiet and nothing had changed with the emperor the clan had called Onyx. She didn't want to get her hopes up just yet but this task seemed to be proving easy... she briefly wondered how long she'd have to do it. A rustle came from the scraggly bushes across camp as Mercury and Iraia arrived back at camp. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the two Shadow dragons- they'd been gone an awfully long time to just be patrolling their 'territory' and now they were sneaking around whispering in front of some spare dens made up of red clay and bone. She straightened to her full height- something she did love about being a guardian now was their intimidating size- and walked over to confront them. "Care to enlighten me on just what you're talking about?" The pair jumped and stared at her but it was Iraia who answered; the blue guardian's head tilting slightly to stare down at her. "Just personal things. There's nothing to report to you about... I really don't see what's so threatening about a wasteland like this." "Diseases..." Mercury trailed off at the two female's glares. "If you want to leave just say so." Sugar Meadow growled. "I didn't tell you to keep following me after coming here." "No!" The tundra yelped and stared up at her. "We- at least I- like travelling with you. I've never had a family before... so... you know... this is nice..." Iraia rolled her eyes. "Calm down. You're more salt than sugar sometimes. We aren't going anywhere." Sugar Meadow held back a scathing retort and decided to be the better dragon and drop the subject. It was clearly going nowhere after all. However, she'd only take a few steps towards the main den when Mercury called her back. "Hold on! I-I'll show you... You'll find out eventually anyway." The purple tundra inched away from the smaller den's entrance and flicked his tail to point at something inside. The pale guardian's eyes widened. "You had a [i]nest together[/i]! There's a creature not far away that could wake up and eat us all like we're some bite sized insects and you have a [i]nest[/i] the first day here!?" "Got a problem with that?" Iraia shifted closer to the unhatched eggs. "That thing is asleep and there's magic keeping it bound and resting right? Besides, think of it like this; these are future dragons who can help defend against the emperor ever waking up again." Sugar Meadow stared at the two for a few seconds longer before whipping around and stalking off. Taking care of hatchlings would be a lot harder than the proud new parents seemed to think, especially when there'd be five of them!

[center][b][size=5]Day 2[/size][/b][/center] [u]RNG rolled 49[/u] Today's a training day! The amount of rounds rolled a 45. Sugar Meadow, Mercury, and Iraia are now all level 4 (nearly level 5) and there have been no lives lost so far [s]then again it was just the training fields[/s] [u]Pinkerton drop[/u] [item=enchanted remains] So another lore/ art day from pinkerton! [img]https://i.imgur.com/VTdJ7Iu.jpg[/img] A sketch of our shy boy, Mercury! First time I've drawn a tundra so it's better than I expected.
