Quests & Challenges

@Magmish The race standings do not include the current round's new dice rolls. This is because these rolls will be affected by whatever abilities are used this round. You are currently tied for second place with Team Bells and Team Diadem.

The Tundra and Coatl abilities include teams equal to your team in the race standings, so if there is a dragon with the same element on those teams, it would count.

@TsunamiVoid @Eeree @Eialyne
It might be a good idea to coordinate, does everyone have discord?

@Ajgreelyfan3 @festivoog @lundlaeva

we've been bamboozled D: I think maybe we should use the snapper ability today? tell me what u guys think.

@Dreamclaws is it possible to use the same ability 2 rounds in A row? just wondering

@PasssionFish Yes, that's fine.

OOF. Xinxian had been rowing so quickly yesterday, he ended up pulling a muscle. He tried to take it easy today, doing what he can. Still, he was not happy with their results this round, but he knows there is still plenty of time to catch up and has faith. The Fathomsearch Ambassador once again continues to take notes. They sit near the front of the boat, able to observe the other teams with minimal distractions (though it was quite difficult to see the teams that were much further ahead): [center][size=5][b]Heat B - Team Amber Round 2/7[/b][/size] Ahoy eager teammates, we are in a 3-way tie for second place! Round 1 Totals: 22 Round 2 Totals:? 9 *sad trombone sound* @Nevercanth @Jeevas @Salixian @Magmish Today just wasn’t our day, but there are still plenty of more rounds to go!

The effects of the ability do not take place. Tip: Best used early in the race, especially if we’re in first and there are many dragons with ATTACK abilities. Every team except Team F has at least one ATTACK dragon (no Veilspun/Ridgeback/Wildclaw/Bogsneak to worry about here).[LIST] [*]Skydancer (Team C/E): switches their Round Totals with the team that has the highest Round Total this round - (Not even close, don’t got to worry about it. Ayyyyy XD) [*]Spiral (Team B/C/D): first place team loses 8 spaces unless that is this dragon's team, in which case the second place team loses 6 spaces. - Could be dangerous, but if we get really behind in the next few rounds we have a trick up our sleeves. [*]Gaoler (Team C): steal one space from each team behind this one and add the spaces to the team's current Round Total. - Don't have to worry about this one. [/LIST] Personally think we should still save it for later. This could protect us if we end up in the lead at some point, and it's still early in the race... but I really don't know, we could get attacked this round. But imo, First and Second place is a terrifying spot to be in the beginning xD [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76975388][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/769754/76975388.png[/img] [size=4][b]Dragon #2 Wildclaw - ATTACK [/b][/size][/url] (This ability Affects the other team)[/center] [b]Long Strike[/b] - The team ahead of this team in the race standings loses 2 spaces. The team ahead of that team loses 4 spaces. The team ahead of that team loses 8 spaces. Might not be worth it this round? Since we're second and it just impacts the first team. [center]3/5 Teams in our Heat have a Water Dragon (Team B, D, F) [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/9377076][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/93771/9377076.png[/img] [size=4][b]Dragon #4 Coatl - SUPPORT[/b][/size][/url] [/center] [b]Quetzal Flight[/b]- If any dragon on any team behind or equal in the race standings has the Water element, gain 6 spaces. Any Water dragons behind or equal to us? Yes.

Any Water dragons ahead or equal to us? Yes, Team B/D/F. this might be the one to use if we're not protecting.

It’s based on Current Standings and we are in a tie for second places (I'm so sorry if I got your hopes up) [quote name="dreamclaws" date="2022-04-25 09:22:21" ] @Magmish The race standings do not include the current round's new dice rolls.

[*]Protect (keep in mind that is only works once and we still got ways to go). If we do get attacked and fall very behind, the Imperial ability could help us get back into the races in future rounds. [center][size=4]Some real life stuff is happening, so I might be delayed in making these posts. But I will keep posting (unless you don't want me to, which is understandable, have a good day!) Don't stress too much with the decision, feel free to discuss and suggest an ability we should use. Cheers, and apologies if there are any errors/misunderstandings (there were so many [emoji=imperial sad size=1].[/size][/center]

@Starefaba @TsunamiVoid @Eeree @Eialyne

I have discord but my reception at work is very hit or miss, so there might be a large chunk of our decision making time I'm not available (FR is less of a pain since I just really need the text to load for this event). I'll go with it if it's an option our other two teammates prefer!

@entykk @dd2900 @Umaroth Not bad!!!

This is what it seems like would happen:

Snapper - can't use as we're not in the last half of race standings
Fae - would get us 5 points
Guardian - would get us 4 points
Wildclaw - would take away 2 points from the team in first place

We didn't roll great so I feel like using the Fae again would be best but I'm open to anyone else's thoughts!
