The Blighted Abyss
A Rollocke
Keep in mind I will be busy a lot, and take some time to post again. I might also just not have motivation to do this sometimes or have writers block. But please bear with me! I'll get around to it ... hopefully.
This is a Nuzlocke/story that takes place in subterranean tunnels running beneath the Wyrmwound. (Which I made up, and probably don't exist canonically. Or do they..?) It will use rules made by
demitri, meaning this will be similar to a Pinkerlocke, but instead of relying on drops from Pinkerton, what happens each day will instead be determined by RNG rolls.
Rules
Every day I use an online number generator to get a number between 1-150. The number I get determines what happens in the Nuzlocke.
1-25: Death Streak
I must roll a 6-sided dice for every dragon in the Nuzlocke. If anyone rolls a 1, they die and must be exalted. Nesting dragons are exempt from this.
26-50: Coliseum
I must spend the day in the Coliseum, completing a minimum of 10 battles in a venue of my choice. The fighters are chosen by RNG. If a fighter is defeated, I must roll a 6-sided die. If they roll 1-3, they die, if they roll 4-6, they survive but will be injured for the next 5 days.
Injured dragons are susceptible to death on rolls of 1-3 on a Death Streak day, and will die if they are defeated in Coli a second time.
51-75: Lore
I must write a lore entry for the Nuzlocke.
76-100: Art
I must either draw or buy art for the Nuzlocke.
101-125: New Dragon
I must go to the AH and buy the cheapest dragon of a randomly selected breed. I can vary this up between buying adults and hatchlings.
The breed rolls are as follows:
1. Bogsneak
2. Coatl
3. Tundra
4. Ridgeback
5. Fae
6. Wildclaw
7. Spiral
8. Guardian
9. Pearlcatcher
10. Mirror
11. Imperial
12. Nocturne
13. Skydancer
14. Snapper
15. Gaoler
16. Banescale
126-150: Breeding
I can breed two eligible dragons from the Nuzlocke. Once the nest hatches, I flip a coin. On heads the hatchling survives, on tails they die and must be exalted. If no dragons are eligible for breeding or it won't make sense lore-wise, I can choose to buy a hatchling off the AH instead, or do something else.
Other things to keep in mind:
- Familiars will be only given to the dragons from the loot they've won in the Coliseum, but apparel and skins will be applied as I see fit.
- I might do lore entries even if I roll something other than a lore number.
- Site-compliant violence and similar will be featured, as well as death, as you'd expect. Most posts will contain warnings about the specific content they feature.

Starting off with a short lore post to set this into motion.
Lamont couldn't help hoping that something would happen, some convenient disaster would give them a chance to escape this prison they'd gotten themselves into, but after the mutated-looking serpent burst threw the wall and attacked them, he wasn't so sure. Both he and Altum had to fight it off, gaining multiple injuries, but at least it was gone now.
" What.. WAS that? " Lamont stepped into the newly created tunnel in the wall, bits of debris scattered around the entrance. The last of the gigantic worm-like thing was already gone, tunneling off. " Actually, this is perfect. " He'd turn to Altum, who was a good distance from the entrance, then at the hall outside of the cell. Still no guards, but after that commotion it won't be staying that way for long. " Oh no. I am NOT chasing after the thing that thought we'd be an easy meal. " the guardian snapped. Lamont rolled his eyes, hissing " It's that or whatever trouble we'll get in for having this here. How are we supposed to explain this? No one's ever seen this kind of creature before, or at least we haven't. " The tundra turned, making his way into the tunnel. "
You can stay, but I'm going. " After a tense moment, the guardian rushed after, the much bigger dragon nearly bumping his head on the way in. " Don't you dare leave me back here, Lamont..!
..let's hope the RNG doesn't have them immediately die or something.

Day 2
25 - Death Streak
The two dragons walked through the tunnel. Every rock that skittered off from their claws and every time Altum bumped the ceiling sent ominous echoes reverberating through the caves. Their steps echoed and sounded like a whole group of dragons walking. Everything sounded like something that was hunting them -
That is, except for the thing that was actually hunting them.
The ground vibrated and rumbled beneath them, beginning to crack. As Lamont was opening his mouth to warn Altum, the serpentine beast burst through the ground again, nearly taking Lamont's leg, but Altum wrenched him back just in time.
As the beast crashed into and through the rock ceiling, Altum saw caught a flash of something odd about the thing - as if it wasn't already incredibly alien. A dragon-like head, warped into a maw with layers on layers of teeth. Eight limbs - almost like...? No, it couldn't be.
As the last of it went through the ceiling, Altum ran as fast as he could not bothering to put Lamont down first, as the rumbling subsided.
... well heck.
Altum got a four, and Lamont got a 2.
LAMONT DONT SCARE ME LIKE TH-
ahem
