Quests & Challenges

After the abject failure of Zombocorp because nearly everyone froze to death offscreen, the three "surviving" members have decided to make a Hunger Games style fodderlocke to see who among the plebs is worthy to join them for Zombocorp 2. Nobody earns a personality (beyond the founding 3) until they've proven themselves worthy by ascending to Lv. 25. No exceptions to the rules this time. No thread formatting. Let's make it as simple on this dumb oaf (Axqu) as possible so she doesn't abandon it.

The three founders (Mantel, Friehalt, and Fireclaw) are an angry lich, a mischievous ghost who is also the lich's brother, and a resentful former stolen baby who is too tired for caring about things respectively. Find the current roster here.

[b]Setup:[/b] You need your first disposable fodder child, naturally. But this is not just any disposal fodder child. They are the founder of your new squad of completely horrible criminals. [LIST=1] [*]Buy yourself the cheapest 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. [/LIST] The cheapest fodder is fodder you don't have to buy, so here are the first candidates: subspecies dragons who didn't sell and were going to be exalted anyway. Deva has declared herself reigning queen of the leopard pit the candidates are kept in.

Finding a nest in the corner of the leopard pit was surprising but the founders aren't complaining. More grist for the mill.

Take any two of your dragons into a coli venue [s]that is too low for them to gain experience. (Your choice)[/s]. [i]Hell with that. It's gonna be productive if it's gonna be so much grinding[/i].

And both of them passed [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/79877126]Deva[/url] in level. Bye, Deva, you've been mauled by dragons and then eaten by leopards. Because [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/79877017]Direl[/url] has just a tiny bit more XP, he gets to take over as new leader. Barely. He's on [i]thin ice[/i] with Sundial breathing down his neck. Here is his obnoxious new outfit so everyone knows he's better than they are: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=79877017&skin=0&apparel=14106,30819,28372,20859,13792&xt=dressing.png[/img]

Quizon and Moonstone, confirming their status as filler queens, were eaten by leopards a couple days ago to finance the purchase of Marduk. Totally worth it.

Alright it's been a hot second. there've been some sacrifices to the leopards and some new additions i haven't bothered to catalog. Pasgen and Crabtree's nest hatched. Here's the crew as of right now: [img]https://i.imgur.com/CGrahwM.png[/img] My lair is totally full. Drama phase: 6. [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. For the dragons, I rolled a 6 and a 2. Which means Sundial and Crasgeee are the lucky winners who get to test themselves outside the leopard pit.
