Phase One: [LIST] [*]Aquire a new recruit (level 6, roll a 6/6 to keep). [/LIST] Phase Two: [LIST=1] [*][b]Big mistake.[/b] Somebody misread the directions. Three random dragons attempted to break into the local law enforcement agency instead of the bank where the heist was supposed to take place. They’re instantly taken into custody. Exalt! [*][b]There’s a scandal (or romance) afoot.[/b] Pick two of your ready to breed dragons at random if you have any. Put them on a nest. The babies will join your crime organization when they hatch. Level them to 5 when they come of age. If the parents would be exalted while they’re on the nest, wait until their nest hatches and Then exalt them. If nobody is ready to breed, grab a random hatchie off the AH. A secret forbidden child or sibling has been uncovered. [*][b]There’s Romance in the air.[/b] Pick two dragons at random. They are now in a relationship. If one gets exalted, so does the other. Their fates are bound together. [*][b]Hunting trip.[/b] Take any two of your dragons into a coli venue that is too low for them to gain experience. (Your choice). Go until you get a familiar drop. [i] Alternate Hunting Trip Variation (based on suggestion by Alphazi) Roll 1d4: 1) Hunting Trip (Look for a familiar) 2) Treasure Hunt (Look for a chest or other openable) 3) Stocking up on Supplies (Look for a battlestone) 4) Costume Shopping (Look for an apparel item)[/i] [*][b]Freeloader.[/b] Some random dragon has decided to hang at your place. Who is this guy???? Grab the cheapest adult off the AH. Leave them at level 1. For bonus points, try sniping an underpriced adult. [*][b]Crimes time![/b] Pick two dragons at random. They have to go on a quest now. Raise both of them a level. Roll a 6-sided die for each. If it’s a 1, exalt them as they were lost in the mission. [*][b]Crimes time![/b] Pick two dragons at random. They have to go on a quest now. Raise both of them a level. Roll a 6-sided die for each. If it’s a 1, exalt them as they were lost in the mission. [*][b]Crimes time![/b] Pick two dragons at random. They have to go on a quest now. Raise both of them a level. Roll a 6-sided die for each. If it’s a 1, exalt them as they were lost in the mission. [*][b]Kids can do crimes too.[/b] Grab the cheapest hatchie off the AH. Level it to 5 when it comes of age. [*][b]Backstabbing.[/b] Choose a dragon at random who is not the leader. Exalt them. Bye.' [i]Alternate Honorable Duel Option (inspired by suggestion by TheAwesoMew): Flip a coin, if heads, take two random not-leader dragons into the coli and exalt whoever faints first. If tails, do the backstabbing as above.[/i] [*][b]Test the Newbies.[/b] Roll a d10 for each of your lowest-level dragons. If it’s higher than their level, exalt them. They were not good enough. Raise the remaining low-level dragons by one level. [*][b]Major Heist!![/b] This is it! Your time to shine. Roll a d12 for Every dragon. If you get higher than their level, exalt. Raise all survivors by one level. [i]Alternate Safer Heist Option: Flip a coin. Heads? the mission was a success! Instead of getting exalted on the failed role above, they simply don't gain a level. Tails? Exalt as above.[/i] [*][b]A coup![/b] Exalt your leader. They have been dramatically betrayed by the others a la the ides of march. Determine a new leader from the remaining dragons. The highest level dragon will be it. If there is a tie, the oldest tied dragon shall be the leader. Level the tied dragon one level to make it better than its peers. [*][b]Where’s the money at?[/b] Some money went missing from the gang’s ill gotten gains. Take two dragons of your choice into any venue they would not gain XP from. They must fight until an openable item drops. Venue doesn’t have one? Too bad; now they have to find an item that can be hoardsold for more than 100 treasure instead. [*][b]Bad weather.[/b] It’s raining lightly outside, so, of course, crime cannot happen today. Nothing happens. [*][b]Take a gamble.[/b] The two highest-level dragons undergo a risky operation. Flip a coin. If heads, they both survive and gain a level from the daring endeavor. If tails, take both of them into a venue matching their level and exalt whichever one faints first. [*][b]Ambushed![/b] The law has somehow located the group’s hideout! Flip a coin. If heads, most of them manage to escape; exalt one random dragon. If tails, two random dragons fall during the escape and must be exalted. [*][b]Rich tastes.[/b] Even the rich aren’t immune to the allure of good ol’ fashioned organized crime. Buy the cheapest XXX dragon on the AH and level them to seven. If the leader ever dies while they’re around, they become the new leader instantly. [*][b]A mutiny![/b] One random dragon decides to start their own criminal enterprise. They become the leader of a whole new gang. One other random dragon goes with them. This new gang acts as its own mini-fodderlocke and does the daily phases. Only one new mutiny group can exist alongside the main group so things don't get out of hand. Any time this result (19) is rolled by the main group, one random dragon joins the mutineers. Any time this result (19) is rolled by the new group, one random dragon goes back to the main gang. Any time only one dragon is left in the new group, exalt the last remaining dragon and remove it from play. [*][b]Gettin’ down with the thievery.[/b] The squad’s gettin’ smart. Wicked smart. Three random dragons are now SO smart that they forgot how to die. If any of them would, for any reason, be exalted, they now simply...don’t do that. But only once. Treat this as an “extra life” of sorts. [/LIST] House Rules: [LIST] [*]Wash-outs will be levelled to 7 and exalted (or stored for future exalting). [*]Call of the void. When dragons are eligible for an exalt bonus, roll a d6 at disadvantage. Dragon is exalted if a 1 is rolled. The boss is exempt. [*]Hatchings are immune from exalting. [*]'Pick at random' loosely translates to 'pick whoever you want'. It makes it more fun. //mild cheating, but not at all sorry[/LIST] Bonus Rules [LIST] [*]Eliminate: Oh, bad luck. Exalt both of them. [*]Gene/Eye: Good luck! They’ve blessed you with excellent loot. Put an apparel item of choice on each to mark as given a second chance. If you would exalt them, instead remove the apparel. They have managed to scrape by. [*]Egg: Oh nice, think of how many hatchlings you can buy if you sell One egg. Pick up the three cheapest hatchies on the AH. Level them to 5 when they come of age. [*]Rally: The current party is motivated! If they would have to roll as to whether or not they'll get exalted at the end of this coli event, they automatically succeed and return safely to your lair. [*]Ambush: Randomly choose one of the dragons in the current coli party. They flee and get the heck out. Immediately refresh, remove them, and replace them with a random other dragon.[/LIST] New Day [code][quote][font=Century]Boss man's take on the day.[/font][/quote] Extra info that our unreliable narrator might 'forget'.

[right][font=Century][size=6]01[/size][/font][/right] [quote][font=Century]The tenth day of the eighth month, My journey has begun! The birth of Team Crime Times comes with the joining of five members into my ranks. A glorious day, indeed. They were tasked with accompanying two training guards and relieving them of any fancy trinkets they came across in the midst of battle. Their skills are quaint but they exist nonetheless. There were three who did not fit into the schemes of our great organization, and they were thus...dealt with. I await the prosperous growth and the name that will one day be held fearfully within the hearts of all. Fabrial[/font][/quote] What one might not see within the confines of his letter - Fabrial made a mistake this first day. None but he would every know it, yet still, the truth remains. Fabrial was a wee overzealous to see the start of his organization. So overwhelmed in his excitement that he misread his printed instructions. (Because the internet is a boon that even rising crime lords should not discount). His error cost him two potential recruits. Regardless, he does seem pleased with the outcome. Those who have entered his ranks bear a colourful resemblance to his own plumage, for which he holds a great deal of pride. [center][emoji=skull size=1][emoji=skull size=1][emoji=skull size=1][/center] [quote][b]Backstabbing[/b]. Choose a dragon at random who is not the leader. Exalt them. Bye.'[/quote] After consulting his notes Fabrial realizes the risk the siblings sitting within his organization might pose. A bond stronger than their dedication to his cause is a risk he cannot take. Something must be done. "Decide quickly, Leena." He implores with glinting eyes, "before your brother takes the choice from you." Inzer doesn't even see her coming. ----- [center][b]Boss[/b]: Fabrial (9) [b]Recruit[/b]: Finedel (6), Arula (6), Alyssum (6), Leena (6), Inzer (6) [b]Team[/b]: Fabrial (9), Finedel (6), Arula (6), Alyssum (6), Leena (6) [b]Exccoumunicated[/b]: Inzer (6)[/center]

[right][font=Century][size=6]02[/size][/font][/right] [quote][font=Century]There are more than I expected there would be. We toiled through potential recruits before finding someone suitable to our goals. They have joined us. But looking at those before me, I worry that there has been too much progress. Our numbers grow while our strength is meagre. I believe it is not too early to cull the herd. Only the strong belong among us.[/font][/quote] Many wash-outs (who I forgot to record), before the lovely Youngsoul joins the ranks. Celebrations, however, are cut short.

If it’s higher than their level, exalt them. They were not good enough. Raise the remaining low-level dragons by one level.[/quote] They lose two of their recruits, the new young blood and one of their first. But they bolster under Fabrial's words, "The weak will not fit among us. Our work is dangerous," His feathers wilt in a display of grief, "and their sacrifice is necessary. For the sake of us all. We must lift one another up, and if we cannot then we must step aside to make way for those who can."

[right][font=Century][size=6]03[/size][/font][/right] [quote][font=Century]The world is full of ineptitude. One seeking entry to fame and fortune, or so suggests TCT's difficult day slogging through potential new members. It seemed we had no fewer than a dozen who bumbled and tumbled their way through the test. It was not a test I created with such potent difficulty in mind. I digress...

Level the tied dragon one level to make it better than its peers.[/quote] In the midst of his writing, Fabrial is overcome by his own comrades. Those who began along his side and whom he had intended to bring to glory like none other. Disgusted by the means he had resorted to for power in these last few days, Finedel, Alyssum, and Leena dethrone the king and watch as he meets the fate of the hopefuls he had previously deemed unworthy. The group convenes, along with their newest recruit, to determine what the future would be. The eldest, most experienced, they decide. It is Finedel who will lead them. Finedel will be their crowning glory. He accepts and begins to work harder than ever to step into the shallow prints left by his predecessor. ------- [center][b]Boss[/b]: [s]Fabrial[/s] Finedel (8) [b]Recruit[/b]: Dreary (6) [b]Team[/b]: Finedel (8), Alyssum (7), Leena (7), Dreary (6) [b]Excommunicated[/b]: Fabrial the Fabulous.

[right][font=Century][size=6]04[/size][/font][/right] [quote][font=Arial]Fabrial is no more. Disent had begun to stir among our ranks at the unjust treatment of his most loyal followers. Left and right we were slowly picked away and tormented with the fear that we would be next. No more! I have risen up as their new leader. With this monumentous change and with it comes good tidings from our dear lady fate. Two tributes have come to us and joined our cause. A sure sign, indeed. Finedel[/font][/quote] The newfound leader of TCT rises up, chosen for his superior experience to guide the budding crime organization. He begins his first day as crime lord with two new recruits.

I accompanied our two newest to better determine the range and scope of their skills. While we were there longer than I had intended, they managed to impress me with their tenacity.

[right][font=Century][size=6]06[/size][/font][/right] [quote][font=Arial]Our ranks are growing larger and larger every day. This bodes well for us, I believe, but the threat of a usurper or dissenter in our midst fills me with worry. I requested the presence of Alyssum and Leena to discuss the risks that we might find ourselves facing. The danger that poses the greatest risk to ourselves, I explained, is that which we face from within. We have formed a pact that will protect us against most any risk.
