Quests & Challenges

Trying to do two quests/challenges at the same time while being an extremely forgetful person? That sounds like a recipe for disaster. But the Fodderlocke sounds so fun and I can't pass up on something like this...... And so I present... [center][size=5][b]The Fodderlocke of Terrible Crimes[/b][/size] [i]It's terrible because everyone is actually terrible at being a criminal[/i][/center] In which my [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3069175]BOTU dragons[/url] are also taking part in a life of crime. [b]Rules: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2806527](Original thread)[/url][/b] [quote name="squidragon" date="2020-01-09 14:47:05" ] [center][emoji=pirate ship size=1] [b]Set Up[/b] [emoji=torch size=1][/center] You need your first disposable fodder child, naturally. But this is not just [i]any[/i] disposal fodder child. They are the [b]founder[/b] of your new squad of [i]completely horrible criminals[/i]. [LIST=1] [*]Buy yourself the [i]cheapest[/i] adult dragon off the auction house. Appearance doesn’t matter when your only goal in life is to do crime. [*]Level that dragon to 8. They must be stronger than their recruits. Strength is valuable. Important.. Vital to not being backstabbed. Put a big obnoxious crown and/or robe on them for good measure. They Must know their worth. They Must know that they’re better than alllll the others. [*]If any dragon ever passes them in level, that dragon takes over as the new leader. Exalt the old leader. They must be banished in shame. [*]Recruit your first crime buddies. Grab 4 more of the cheapest adults off the auction house. Level each of them to 6.

These are your potential recruits. [*]Drag them through your two-fodder venue of choice together until they hit level 6. [*]Roll a 6-sided die for each. If you get a 6, congrats! That dragon has passed your test and has been hired into your band of criminals. [*]If a dragon fails, exalt it. It is not worthy of being among you. [*]Continue your recruitment efforts until you get a successful recruit (or two at once if you’re lucky)! You may now move on to the drama phase. [/LIST] [b]Phase 2 > > >[/b] There is much drama to be had in a band of criminals like the one you are running. Each day is full of terrible terrible happenings. Roll a 12-sided die. Your next challenge is as follows: [LIST=1] [*]There’s a [b]scandal[/b] (or romance) afoot. 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. [color=slateblue]If nobody is ready to breed, grab a random hatchie off the AH. A secret forbidden child or sibling has been uncovered.[/color] [*]There’s [b]Romance[/b] in the air. 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. [color=slateblue][i]Alternate Hunting Trip Variation[/i] (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)[/color] [*][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.

[color=slateblue][i]Alternate Honorable Duel Option[/i] (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.[/color] [*][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. [color=slateblue][i]Alternate Safer Heist Option[/i]: 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.[/color] [*][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. [/LIST] After you finish your dramatic challenge, go back to the recruit stage (either the next day or immediately) and go again. Keep whatever pace you want. [b]Catalogue your crew’s terrible life[/b] in a journal if you are feeling creative. [center][emoji=pirate ship size=1] [b]Bonus Rules[/b] [emoji=torch size=1][/center] Keep an eye on your drops while you’re in the coli. If you get any of the following while training, grant the following effects to your members who were in the coli with them at the time. [LIST] [*][b]Eliminate[/b]: Oh, bad luck. Exalt both of them. [*][b]Gene[/b]: 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. [*][b]Egg[/b]: Oh nice, think of how many hatchlings you can buy if you sell One egg. [color=slateblue]Pick up the three cheapest hatchies on the AH. Level them to 5 when they come of age.[/color] [*][color=slateblue][b]Rally[/b]: 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. [*][color=slateblue][b]Ambush[/b]: 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] If you ever run out of dragons completely, [b]you lose[/b]. Start over. [color=slateblue]Consider keeping a high-score chart to see which crime organization lasts the longest.[/color] [/quote] I'll be using all of these rules, including the bonus ones, because I want to see absolute chaos happening in this ragtag "crime" organization. Heavy emphasis on the quotation marks. I'll also be doing this very casually, so expect to see at most one or two rounds of dailies on any given day. They're very slow at this crime stuff.

[center][b]The Beginnings[/b][/center] How lucky I was that the cheapest dragon on the AH at the time was a Multigaze! Her name is [b]Sakura[/b] and she will be using her many eyes to oversee the many terrible crimes of The Terrible Crimes Crew. [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/54610844][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/546109/54610844_350.png[/img][/url][/center] Joining her in the founding of this truly terrible crime organization are [b]Leroy, Sydonia, Boccaccio,[/b] and [b]Narrik[/b].

[b]Narrik, Vagabond, Jake, Gavina, Gwanwyn[/b], and [b]Levi[/b] are all sent out together to commit the most Terrible Crime they can think of. . . . Only [b]Vagabond, Gavina,[/b] and [b]Levi[/b] return to the Terrible Base. All they ended up doing was gossiping with each other when the other three decided to just form their own crime gang instead. They each gave 9470t, 9413t, and 11859t respectively to the remaining newbies and wished them luck in the future. May their Crime Gangs meet again. Goodbye forever, [b]Narrik, Jake,[/b] and [b]Gwanwyn[/b]. The Terrible Crimes Crew will not miss you.

Hi, I just wanted to say that I've been following along with this thread. The way you've incorporated your breeding challenge with a fodderlocke has inspired my to make me own here. I also linked you in the "inspirations" section. Keep up the good work!

@cakespeare I'm honoured that I could inspire you!I'm glad you've been enjoying my challenge and I wish you luck in yours :D I'll definitely be checking it out!
