It wasn't enough for one small clan to fight by themselves out of one area. They needed to expand, to stretch their influence to other parts of Wind territory. The outskirts. The outskirts where the Shade had already taken prey and was draining the life out of the land. It was inhospitable and harsh, but with the blessings of their respective deities, [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=50820223]Coppermoon[/url], [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47854860]Iari[/url], and [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49372616]Joseph [/url]arrived at their new lair after encouragement and warm farewells from their previous clans. They worked terribly hard to create something akin to a proper home. They'd been given a few spare resources from the main clan, but quickly used everything within the first few days of building and constructing what was supposed to be a comfortable abode. Biting his lip, Coppermoon looked to his clanmates and said, "I know we don't have much, even with Breezeborne's assistance, but," his voice wavered, easily giving away his true feelings to the bogsneak and wildclaw, "I know we can get through this and do our duty as Shining Heart Soul Warriors." Joseph sighed, tongue flicking out as he opened his mouth to speak. "A shining heart is about all we have left in terms of supplies, Cop, we'd better get to collecting soon." He gestured behind him to where shadows slithered in the distance, covering bamboo forests and running streams in streaks of black and undulating purple tendrils. "Don't want that to get too handsy with how exposed we are." Coppermoon nodded, face tense. "Indeed. We should hasten our efforts. Iari, send word to Breezeborne that we have established a home here and will begin our task as soon as we're settled." Iari gave a half-hearted salute. She was too exhausted to speak after hustling to get the lair built, but at the very least, she could fashion a proper letter and send it off with her familiar to inform Breezeborne of the fresh Gusting Eclipse's successes. The trio sighed as one unit, gazing at their somewhat ramshackle lair. It had been build into the cliff side, much like the main clan, and was nestled in a small forest of tall bamboo to keep their location secluded and private. The doorway was lopsided, but Joseph was thrilled that he'd managed to get the lock enchanted to open only for the three of them. There were a few windows tucked into the wood and rock of the home itself, with simple lace curtains adorning them, courtesy of Coppermoon. He'd been gifted them when he left his old clan as something to remember them by and both Joseph and Iari thought they were a great idea. Inside, a small fireplace burned weakly, offering a meager amount of heat in the cold, northern outskirts they'd been assigned. Candles lay strewn about on pieces of half-finished furniture, unlit for fear of wasting them. Their next immediate task would be to gather more building supplies once the sun rose and finish off anything left incomplete. In the meantime, the three shuffled into the home, burrowing themselves on couch cushions and covering with blankets a little too thin for how frigid the air was. Iari focused her magic to warm her scales up and allowed the boys to curl around her. It was the first night in their new home that they slept fully at ease. ------------ [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/llCVdeU.png[/img][/center]

[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/HyrW7Wv.png[/img] ------------ [img]https://i.imgur.com/PsNM8GI.png[/img] [font=candara][size=7]Day 2: Rising Threats[/size][/font] [img]https://i.imgur.com/FpYGiAO.png[/img] [emoji=wind rune][emoji=light rune][/center] [center][emoji=meat] [font=candara][u]Pinkerton's Pick:[/u] [emoji=meat] [item=squirrel monkey][/center] [font=candara]Which means we now have to fight 45 battles in the coli! Before starting, I went ahead and used tinctures on the trio so that I could start statting them to the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2217190#post_27933256]Sedona build[/url]. This makes it a bit easier on me so I'm not struggling with stats the entire time which would make this challenge extremely unfun. I also applied a Scratch battlestone to Iari because running around with Anticipate isn't my idea of a Good Time™. These are the only stone adjustments for today, and I don't anticipate doing too many except for adding battlestones as needed. (Yay easy mode/free mode rules; I am terrible with the coli lol!) [emoji=ping] A gentle warning for some blood/violence in this next section. [indent][font=candara]Everyone arrived to the Path ready to roll after having an easy time in the Fields. Their training was going well and soon, after managing their still unfinished home, they'd set out on their first official mission to deal with the Shade. Of course, their successes in the fields lulled them into a false sense of security... Joseph fell swiftly during an early battle in the new area, immediately being knocked out of his transformation. He survived through his own determination and Coppermoon's quick retreat strategy. He'd been slumped over Iari's back as the two remaining battlers hurried their way back through the winding paths to safety. As soon as they arrived back home, they immediately set to work on first aid and mending Joseph's wounds as best as they could. He remained injured and stricken with a heavy fever, though no longer openly bleeding. Coppermoon and Iari thought their hearts would stop at the sight of Joseph being taken out by the Greenroot Janustrap in one hit, and Iari was still visibly shaken and upset. The loot they earned through the struggle hardly amounted to anything after thinking Joseph wouldn't make it out of the Path. Coppermoon knew what they'd have to do: halt their mission to complete their new home until Joseph fully recovered from his injuries. Neither him nor Iari had stopped thinking about the sight of Joseph's blood soaking into the forest floor, staining the grass and earth a deep, stomach-churning crimson, and running in tiny streams away from his broken body.[/indent] [center][font=candara][emoji=coliseum team] [u]Notable Loot Earned:[/u] [emoji=coliseum team] [item=dented iron gauntlets][item=leafy pack][item=leafy pack][item=rock slash][/center] ----------------- [center][font=candara][emoji=d20] [u]48 - Death Chance:[/u] [emoji=d20][/center] [font=candara]And, as my luck would have it, I have rolled another death chance. Targeting Joseph, except that he's immune to this death chance because of his [i]last[/i] death chance. T_T Because of that, he survives, but barely. I need to lie down; I hope this challenge isn't always this rife with bad luck. ORZ;;; [indent][font=candara]He was swimming in an ocean of heat and darkness. His eyes wouldn't open, couldn't open, and all he could feel was an ache so deep, he thought his very soul was being stolen from his body. The ache rose to a crescendo and all Joseph could manage was a weak, hoarse whimper as Iari's chilled hands flitted about his forehead, pressing a wet cloth to it. She was murmuring to him, but he couldn't tell what she was saying. The words slurred together into meaningless noise. She was close, he could tell, because her floral scent surrounded him like a warm embrace. Inhaling as best as he could, he tried to call her name. "Shh, JoJo," Iari whispered, adjusting the cloth for the umpteenth time. "Save your energy and just get better, please?" Her voice, had it not been so quiet in the first place, almost sounded like it had broken in the middle of her request, but Joseph wasn't able to dwell on the emotion for much longer. His mind started to slip, taking the advice and forcing him unconscious. He could still smell Iari even as he slept.[/indent] ------------ [right][emoji=eclipsed sun] [size=1][font=candara][b]Pinglist:[/b] @softbun[/right] ------------ [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/llCVdeU.png[/img][/center]

Thank you, Pinkerton! ;w; I feel blessed to be able to officially work on some lore for the first time during the challenge! I'll be adding a bit to everyone's bios today~ This is what will be added: [emoji=wind rune] [b]Coppermoon[/b]: DnD alignment, MBTI, and music (3+ songs) [emoji=light rune] [b]Iari[/b]: 2 bio GIFs, DnD alignment, MBTI, and music (3+ songs) [emoji=wind rune] [b]Joseph[/b]: 2 bio GIFs, DnD alignment, MBTI, and music (3+ songs) For the alignments and personality types, I'll be taking [url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd%2Fdnd%2F20001222b]this [/url]quiz aaaand [url=https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test]this [/url]quiz as if I were the characters. :3 [b]Edit:[/b] Everything is officially added! [indent][font=candara]The days dragged on, and still, Joseph's fever had not broken. Coppermoon focused his efforts on tending to the Wildclaw while Iari went out gathering supplies. Guilt boiled within him. It was [i]his[/i] job to keep everyone safe. It was [i]his[/i] job to ensure that their supply runs and battles went smoothly. It was [i]his[/i] job, and yet he failed the one thing he was meant to do. He had difficulty seeing Joseph so quiet, splayed out under a heap of thin blankets with a towel against his sweat-slicked forehead. None of the usual boisterous laughter filled Coppermoon's ears, and no song poured from Joseph's lips like water from a spring while the Spiral played his flute with uncertain, quivering fingers. It was too quiet, and it was Coppermoon's fault.[/indent] [center][font=candara][emoji=coliseum team] [u]Notable Loot Earned:[/u] [emoji=coliseum team] None for today![/center] ----------------- [center][font=candara][emoji=d20] [u]52 - Free Day:[/u] [emoji=d20][/center] [font=candara]Heyyy, double luck today to make up for yesterday's catastrophe! *fist pump* For today's free day, I scried each of the trio with different genes to see what sort of other potential they have! Check it out: [center][img]http://flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=23&bodygene=15&breed=7&element=8&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=110&tertgene=16&winggene=1&wings=31&auth=30bd91f070553921d88a8df42f6485300a4b16f7&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/center] [font=candara]I really love how his colors play together so nicely, especially with how Lace looks on him and how Skink brings in that lovely yellow shade... so pretty and dainty! I kept Shimmer because seafoam Shimmer is one of my favorites! His colors are just so lovely and easy to work with omg 'u' [center][img]http://flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=31&bodygene=24&breed=14&element=11&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=163&tertgene=10&winggene=20&wings=64&auth=c7ec2cafdb6e4b3674c39b96ab9b561d7092d93c&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/center] [font=candara]"Hi, my name is Iari and I would look extremely sparkly and even more fabulous if you sold your soul to get an endless supply of gems!" ;A; This will never happen because of how much money [b]THREE WHOLE GEM GENES[/b] would be, but at least I can look at this pretty scry [s]and cry after I get off FR lol[/s]. *SIIIIIGH* [center][img]http://flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=170&bodygene=19&breed=10&element=9&eyetype=3&gender=0&tert=85&tertgene=10&winggene=16&wings=160&auth=94be57e8390fc5d51d4fe719625573e3fa59b2f1&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/center] [font=candara]So the question isn't "What gene combination does Joseph look incredible with?" but rather, "What gene combination does Joseph [i]not[/i] look incredible with?" Like, this guy has excellent colors, and while I adore him as-is, I honestly had trouble deciding on another combination because there were like 50 that looked perfect! (Massive shout-out to Starmap/Facet or Bee for being my next fav combos.) That was fun!

[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/HyrW7Wv.png[/img] ------------ [img]https://i.imgur.com/PsNM8GI.png[/img] [font=candara][size=7]Day 4: New Acquaintances[/size][/font] [img]https://i.imgur.com/FpYGiAO.png[/img] [emoji=wind rune][emoji=light rune][/center] [center][emoji=gold tiara] [font=candara][u]Pinkerton's Picks:[/u] [emoji=ceramic jar] [item=bloody wing bandages][item=bluestreaked shell][/center] [font=candara]So because I took a day off yesterday, I'll be doing two Pinkerton's Picks for this entry -- yesterday + today's! The wing bandages mean I get to breed two dragons or purchase a new one if I'm unable to breed any. Considering Iari is the only one of the trio who can breed, I'll be finding a new friend for them in the AH! I rolled a 7, so we get a Wildclaw! The Bluestreaked Shell is a material, so that means it's a lore day! Perfect considering we just picked up a newbie... I'll be filling his bio out to reflect the original trio's bios! (The OG3, if you will. ;3c) Introducing... Kazas! [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=29695714] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/296958/29695714_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [font=candara]He's a bit of an older dragon which is pretty cool imo! And his nice, bright colors look lovely with the rest of the squad. [indent][font=candara]Iari's supply run had officially gotten off course. She had been hurrying to collect herbs, medicines, and the other items on Coppermoon's hastily written shopping list when she smacked right into another dragon. Her bags went flying, and all of the goods hit the ground with a solid [i]thunk[/i]. "Oh my gods, I'm so sorry!" she cried, immediately reaching down to stuff her things back into the bags haphazardly. Celery stalks poked out in half-broken bundles and the herb pouches were a few grams lighter than before, having exploded into little puffs upon impact. Other than that, everything seemed somewhat unharmed, if not bruised. Dusting herself off, face flushed with utter embarrassment, Iari stood and finally looked the stranger in the eye. He was a tall, lean Wildclaw, easily twice Joseph's size, but just as bright as the latter. His face, though, was considerably less friendly and more serious than Iari had ever thought a dragon's face could be. It was as if he were the sheer definition of "stoic, stone-faced warrior." The stranger let out a short grunt before saying, "Watch where you're going, especially if you're in a hurry, kid." The rich, rumbling notes of his voice didn't match his appearance whatsoever, and Iari almost burst out laughing at the cognitive dissonance she'd just experienced. Smartly, she kept her composure and merely bit her tongue to prevent herself from giggling. "Sorry," she said as she adjusted the bags in her arms and slung a couple over her back. An herb satchel slipped out and hit the ground, upending its contents onto the dirt below. Inari let out a yelp and bent down, trying to scoop up what she could. "Hey, is that yarrow root?" the Wildclaw asked, watching Iari carefully. "Yep," she responded. "My, uh, friend is really sick, so I came out to do a supply run and grab some things to help him. I also got elderberry flowers and some willow bark for tea, but..." The Wildclaw huffed. "You're not sure it's gonna help," he finished. With a sigh, Iari shook her head. "He's in real bad shape. Coppermoon is about to have a breakdown here soon, and the only other person there is me, so." She shrugged. "Er, sorry, you probably don't really care," she laughed weakly, finally tying the satchel shut once and for all. It was nearly empty, and she knew she didn't have enough money to get more. Inwardly, Iari panicked. As if able to read the mood, the Wildclaw grunted again and said, "You need a healer." "Well, yes, but-" "I'm a healer." "P-pardon?" His eyes rolled. "I'm a healer. I can heal this friend of yours." Iari very nearly dropped everything yet again, but caught herself. Instead she -- very smoothly, she'd later claim -- gaped and spattered out, "Joseph!" A grunt. "Um, sorry, the friend's name is Joseph. Please, your help would be appreciated. But, uh, you see, we-" "Don't have the money to pay me. I know," finished the Wildclaw. Iari winced. "No, but-" "Don't worry about it. Just let me use whatever herbs you have left, and in a few days, your Joseph will be good as new." The way the Wildclaw spoke was commanding, and Iari couldn't find it within her to argue against his offer, even if it was for his wallet's sake. She was hesitant about inviting a stranger into the lair, and with little proof of his claims, Iari knew that Coppermoon would be upset at her carelessness, but with what resources she and the Spiral had at home, there was no other way for her to ensure Joseph's continued survival. She swallowed, finding her throat tight at the thought of Joseph perishing in the throes of fever. "Okay," she acquiesced. "I'm Iari, by the way." "Kazas," the Wildclaw responded. He was about to say something else when a searingly bright ray of light burst from the cloud cover and enveloped him completely, obscuring him from Iari's view. A voice. There was a voice, motherly, yet distant, telling him what he was meant to become. Who he was meant to be. What he was meant to do. And then the light and voice ceased. Kazas stared at Iari, wide-eyed, and said, "We need to make a quick stop to get someone. But after, you better get me to the lair. Quickly." [/indent] [center][font=candara][emoji=coliseum team] [u]Notable Loot Earned:[/u] [emoji=coliseum team] None for today![/center] ----------------- [center][font=candara][emoji=d20] [u]77 - Free Day:[/u] [emoji=d20][/center] [font=candara]After purchasing Kazas, I realized that I only had one lady in the Gusting Eclipse subclan, so that wouldn't do! I rolled for a breed purchase again and ended up being able to get a Skydancer! So, needless to say, we're using the free day roll to get the gender ratio a bit more even... *facepalm* I'll be filling her bio out today as well. ^_^ Introducing... Lotte! [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48016201] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/480163/48016201_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [font=candara]Her colors and genes are [i]too[/i] cute, and she really rocks that accent unexpectedly! I'm super excited about her. :3 [indent][font=candara]At the same moment as the beam of light enveloping Kazas, a magical arc had wound around Lotte as she waited in the square for Kazas to get back from whatever it was he was doing in the shopping district. Her head had been starting to hurt from how hard she was worrying, and she had gotten snippy with a minstrel that, upon noticing her foul mood, had tried to cheer her up. They'd promptly left with when she mustered a glare so potent, it could be used to forge weaponry. The arc was a welcome, warm relief, almost as if it were the soothing touch of another, and it made her feel as if she were filled with electricity. Her headache immediately vanished, and before she could wonder what exactly was going on, the Arcanist made his distant presence known. She wasn't expecting her father's voice to invade her mind and spew all sorts of strange information quicker than her heart could beat, but she'd decided, after waiting on Kazas to get back for longer than the twenty minutes he promised, things never went the way she planned. As suddenly as the arc and her father's voice appeared, they were gone, and Lotte was left to pace around the square, mind racing and a new vigor for life instilled within her being. Thoughts tumbled about her head, thoughts her father had allowed her to be privy to, and she'd been filled with a knowledge she'd never known as a possibility. To think such magical warriors existed, and that she was one of them! Lotte went to let out a holler of sheer excitement when Kazas [i]finally[/i] made his reappearance, this time with a worried Bogsneak in tow. "Let's go. I'll explain on the way," Kazas said, ushering Lotte along. "That's Iari. Iari, Lotte. You can make formal pleasantries later. If your friend is as bad as you say, Iari, then we have no time to waste." Iari nodded and Lotte didn't argue, knowing Kazas would stay true to his word and readily explain everything when he could. She had so many questions burning on the tip of her tongue. The three immediately headed out. "We can discuss the Soul Warriors and the deities later," he added, once they were out of earshot of the town's citizens. "We have a lot to talk about."[/indent] ------------ [right][emoji=eclipsed sun] [size=1][font=candara][b]Pinglist:[/b] @softbun[/right] ------------ [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/llCVdeU.png[/img][/center]

I feel that if I keep getting material drops, I may have to adjust the rules a teeny bit to make it a bit more even.... :0 We shall see! In the meantime, here's a small segue into the next part of the story! [indent][font=candara]Joseph let out a weak groan, eyes flickering open just for the briefest of moments to find his vision obstructed by thick haze. A single bead of sweat trickled down his cheek languidly. His mouth was dry, so very dry. Joseph tried to swallow, but found that he didn't have the strength nor the saliva to do so. There was a short moment where he couldn't feel anything, and then it was over as a wave of pain overwhelmed his senses. Another groan. Iari's scent was long gone, and it was impossible to tell if Coppermoon had fallen asleep elsewhere with what little semblance of consciousness Joseph still had. A finger of loneliness and doubt hooked around his heart as he lie in bed, panting and ailing. Joseph called out to Coppermoon, his voice like paper. Coppermoon was at his side in an instant, and Joseph assumed he'd simply fallen asleep keeping a watchful eye over him. Without a word, the spiral pressed a cool glass to Joseph's lips. He sipped slowly, savoring how the spring water felt. After a time, the glass was drained and Joseph was listing into unconsciousness yet again. "Hang in there," murmured Coppermoon. "Hang in there." [/indent] [center][font=candara][emoji=coliseum team] [u]Notable Loot Earned:[/u] [emoji=coliseum team] None for today![/center] ----------------- [center][font=candara][emoji=d20] [u]24 - Death Chance[/u] [emoji=d20][/center] [font=candara]Here we go again! According to the selection roll, Joseph is somehow in danger again?! The rolls are uh, really trying to kill him before Kaz and Lotte can get there... ;A; No deity blessing this time, though, so he's truly at risk! Given my luck, I'm just gonna assume the worst. TnT;;; Welp. Here goes a roll. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA0nSkSxA3E]Whims of fate[/url], please spare m'boi! It's a... 14! Missed that death number 7 by a pretty close shave. ORZ;;; JoJo, hang in there!

One day. In the meantime, Iari is in danger for once! [s]That's actually very bad considering the story I have semi-planned ahhh![/s] But, she misses the death number by a lot. We rolled a 25. Woo! Thanks RNGods! [emoji=familiar heart] I won't be posting the next part of the story just yet, so this whole post is going to be lore-less as it didn't quite do what I needed it to do. XD Hopefully that doesn't disappoint anyone! ----------------- [center][font=candara][emoji=d20] [u]127 - Free Day:[/u] [emoji=d20][/center] [font=candara]Yaaaay, a free day! [emoji=firework] I think I'll use this free day to design proper outfits for the quintet! It's very hard only using what I have on hand/earn through the challenge, so maybe this will expel some of my nervous energy about clothes. XD Check out these looks! I decided to incorporate a sylvan headpiece in each look to show that they're all in one subclan together + my usual apparel being flowerfalls for each of my dragons~ [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=50820223&skin=29598&apparel=29245,9452,15721,15753,26942,7843,15737,3633,10383,10390&xt=dressing.png[/img][outfit=774645] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=47854860&skin=0&apparel=29246,26546,15717,26544,13082,933,5159,15135,28391,24051&xt=dressing.png[/img][outfit=774657] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=49372616&skin=8778&apparel=15720,28506,1753,27347,27357,3543,10736,10399,10371&xt=dressing.png[/img][outfit=774675] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=29695714&skin=0&apparel=1748,2317,15716,9452,24736,454,457,1158,6025,26275,22842&xt=dressing.png[/img][outfit=774686] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=48016201&skin=0&apparel=1750,28370,19651,331,21836,21226,28397,25875,13082,26278,3690,15720,17909,19654&xt=dressing.png[/img][outfit=774703] [font=candara]I also went to the coli for 30 battles. Of course, Joseph got K-O'd again by another rude janustrap, but he had a deity blessing from yesterday's death chance, so whatever. The poor guy really can't catch a break though. >>; The good news is that everyone is now level 7! I'm trying to get a Magical Might Fragment for Joseph so he can have the extra boost Iari and Coppermoon have with their might fragments, but the ones in the AH are just way too expensive. @_@; Hopefully I can get him one soon!
