Pinkerton's Plundered Nuzlocke
Welcome to Pinkerton's Plunder Nuzlockes; or 'Pinkerlockes'. This is a creative challenge is aimed at surviving the Coliseum and building up a lair slowly. Much of it originates from Pokemon nuzlocke challenges, adapted into Flight Rising to give people a new kick for logging in daily. The original Flight Rising nuzlocke was created by noodlesthings, leading to Tar to create Pinkerlockes and HSoup to pick it up. Today, we have this self-maintained hub for any and all Pinkerlockes! Feel free to discuss your own or update here on any interesting things that's happened in your challenge. |
Thanks for playing!
Pinkerlockes run off of daily drops from Pinkerton. I suggest you have an individual lair tab to keep your Pinkerlocke dragons separate; and don't worry if you miss a day or mess up your drops! It's a game, and making your own rules is part of the fun.
Basic Rules:
- Any death in the Coliseum means a death in actuality. The dragon must be exalted or retired from the Pinkerlocke entirely.
- Loot that isn't a Pinkerton drop is not relevant to the Pinkerlocke. You may dress your dragons in anything you like.
- Coliseum matches do not have to be consecutive.
- Begin with two or three adult dragons.
Drop table:
Food: The basics: enter the Coliseum! According to the table below, go through the amount of matches listed; it does not have to be all in a row!
Plants: 10-20 matches
Insects: 20-30 matches
Seafood: 30-40 matches
Meat: 40-50 matches
- Optional hardmode: All Coliseum teams must be chosen by a random number generator. The area entered must correspond to the highest level dragon in the group. You can quit any time to regen health, and fleeing is permitted.
Materials: A day for writing. While you can write for any portion of this, what are your dragons doing in their downtime? What's their latest battles, any hardships they might've faced, any newcomers to the group? If there's nothing new, how about some character introspection? Do any of them not have a biography?
Trinkets: Draw some art, whatever medium you want to use; even a simple doodle is good! What do your dragons look like? Their home? A battle? Any trinkets they have?
Alternatively, spend some time compiling something related to them. A playlist? Pinterest board? What kind of outfits would they wear, do they follow any sort of teachings? What's their backstory before any of this, outside the Pinkerlocke?
Familiars: Buy the cheapest dragon in the AH of a specific breed, gems or treasure. Use a random number generator to determine which breed to get.

- Optional easymode: Exclude hatchlings and/or ancient breeds.
Apparel: Breed two of your dragons. If you can't, you may either queue this for when it's possible or roll 1-4 for one of the food options.
- Optional hardmode: Flip a coin for every hatchling. Every tails means a dead hatchling that must be exalted or removed from the Pinkerlocke.
Battle Items: Chance for a death streak. Flip a coin; if heads, a death streak happens, and if tails, nothing happens.
- Death streak: Three dragons must be chosen through a random generator and go through a Coliseum area corresponding to the highest level in the party. 10 rounds must be completed consecutively; if a dragon dies, the death streak is over and no more rounds are required.
