The WAF Bloodwatch circles in acrid skies, a blur of pale green against red. The crew of mercenaries is here to witness the trials of the Necromancers -- although to what end, precisely, is unclear.
The Necrolocke is a variation of the Pinkerlocke, where various random rolls determine the fate of the dragons involved. Here are the rules. This is a fairly gritty challenge; many dragons will meet variously grisly fates.
But if they are successful through the Three Trials, they will become Necromancers, members of a Plague subspecies who have the ability to manipulate illness in the bodies of others. If they fall short, they may become Necroservi, Wraiths, or Ghouls -- variably-competent, lesser versions of Necromancers -- or they may find themselves corrupted by the Shade as they become Lichs.
This will primarily function for me as a challenge to break up fodder training and do some fun low-level grinding. As such, I will be playing by the speedrun rules, using Crim trades in the place of Pinkerton pulls; lore writing will be kept to a minimum except in the event of a successful outcome. In the event of a successful outcome, the dragon will be stashed in the Hibden until such time as I can acquire a G1 with appropriate colors. Any other dragons, including all Faith and Determination dragons, will be leveled as fodder and exalted.
I will be playing on Normal Mode, with one post for each dragon as their Trials are completed. (And apologies for the lacking graphics -- it's, unfortunately, not really my thing.)
