[center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1h2g3br1d1xem0r/plaguemidsmall.png[/img][/center] Kirave and Caodai have been together for as long as they can remember. Wandering the Wasteland to survive. They had each other, and for a long time, that was enough. At least, it was before they met their first Necromancer. Solitary by nature, the two of them had never heard of such a dragon, of one receiving such a blessing from Mother. Of being able to hold so much power here. Neither wanted to go through the trials themselves of course. To do so is to risk death, and to die is to never obtain their dreams. But they have traveled for decades, and while only ever enjoying the company of each other, they know how to manipulate others into what they want. And what better way to seize the power they so crave than through an impressionable and zealous youngster willing to throw away life for a chance at something greater. [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1h2g3br1d1xem0r/plaguemidsmall.png[/img][/center] As a quick note, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/86906850]Kirave[/url] and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/82037617]Caodai[/url] are not members of the subspecies, and will not be going through the trials at any point. They exist solely to tie my Necrolock attempts together and give reason for having Necromancers in my lore, hence why I have chosen to mention them above. I will be doing my necrolock's in small batches since, for lore purposes, Kirave and Caodai want as many dragons as possible to go through the trials to increase their success rates. All runs will be done with normal difficulty unless Baldwin decides to grace me with a primal eyed dragon. In that case, that dragon will play through in hard mode.

[LIST] [*]Within the lore, the difficulty level is determined by how close your dragon sits to the edge of the Wrymwound to meditate and conduct their trials. The closer the dragon sits to the Wrymwound, the harder the difficulty level. [*]This choice is left up to you unless your dragon has Primal eyes, in which case they MUST play on Hard mode. [/LIST] [*]If an event happens that would insta-kill your dragon, you have an opportunity to pray to Plaguebringer to avert your fate. Throw an apparel item into Baldwin. [LIST] [*][u]Black slime[/u] indicates Plaguebringer has rewarded your faith and answered your prayer and you may proceed with your trials as normal. Your dragon is now eligible to take [b]Dark Sclera[/b] regardless of the outcome of your trials. [*][u]While slime[/u] indicates Plagubringer has averted your immediate fate but has found you unworthy. Another agent has acted to save you. Your dragon has survived but has become a [color=maroon][b]Wraith[/b][/color]. Your trials end here. [*][u]Grey slime[/u] indicates your dragon has perished despite its prayers. Your trials end here. Exalt the dragon. [/LIST] [*]At any point you may decide to godmod your dragon into passing a trial, even if an event has happened that would otherwise kill your dragon and/or cause them to fail. [LIST] [*]You can grant an instant success to your dragon only [u]one time[/u], however the dragon will now be immune to events that would otherwise insta-kill your dragon. [*]Should your dragon otherwise pass the remaining trials they will become a [b]LICH[/b]. [*]If they do not pass the remaining trials within 23 days they are consumed by the Shade. Exalt the dragon. [/LIST] [*]If you'd like to run multiple Necrolockes at the same time (i.e. send multiple dragons through the trials at once), you can use [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/crim]Crim's Collection Cart[/url] in lieu of Pinkerton for your sign from Mother during the first trial. See the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/1#post_54629408]Trial of Infection[/url] rules for the applicable instructions for simultaneous Necrolocke attempts.

Common eyes do not confer any advantages or disadvantages during the trials. [*]Obtain a level 1 dragon from the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/auction-house]AH[/url] with the correct eye type. All breeds and elements are allowed. This dragon should NOT be a Necromancer [*]The dragon can be an adult or a hatchling, but hatchlings may receive penalties during the second trial.

This trial uses [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/pinkpile]Pinkerton's Plundered Pile[/url] as a mechanic [LIST=1] [*]Every day, draw an item from Pinkerton. If the item qualifies as a sign from Mother, then your flesh has been touched with plague and you have passed your first trial. The items that qualify as signs from Mother depend on the difficulty level you’ve chosen. [LIST] [*][b]Easy[/b]: Necromantic symbols, Coliseum Plague Familiars, Materials and Food dropped by Coliseum Plague Familiars, and Plague items [*][b]Normal[/b]: Necromantic symbols and Coliseum Plague Familiars [*][b]Hard[/b]: Same items as Normal. However if you draw an item with any type of bone (Birdskull apparel, bone fragments, etc), you must throw the item into Baldwin to determine if your dragon survives the brush with death. Low rarity transmutation materials ([color=green]Green[/color] colors or [color=dimgrey]Grey[/color] slime) indicate your dragon has died. Your trials end here. Exalt the dragon. Any other color or rarity indicates the fumes of the Wrymwound have triggered a mutation and your dragon is eligible to take [b]Multigaze[/b] regardless of the outcome of the trials. If the bone item is also an apparel item, it counts as a sign from Mother and your dragon may proceed to the next trial. [/LIST] [*]If you receive an AMBUSH battle item your dragon has not been able to withstand the deprivations and hardships of meditating near the Wrymwound and has died. Your trials end here. Exalt the dragon. [*]If your dragon still hasn’t received a sign from Mother by the 23rd day, they have failed the first trial. Your trials end here, but your dragon does not have to be exalted and can seek a new life path. [*]If you're running multiple Necrolockes at the same time (i.e. sending multiple dragons through the trials at once), you can use [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/crim]Crim's Collection Cart[/url] in lieu of Pinkerton for your sign from Mother. [LIST] [*]When using Crim, the first trade offer will apply to your first Necrolocke attempt, the second trade offer will apply to your second Necrolocke attempt, etc. [*]Note that Crim's pool of trades is [i]Much Larger[/i] than Pinkerton's. The reference box of searchable signs from Mother found below will only apply to a small fraction of qualifying signs from Crim. [*]You'll have to use the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/game-database]Game Database[/url] and the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2412017#post_32545840]Necromancer Lore post[/url] to determine if your trade qualifies as a sign from Mother. [*]Due to this larger pool, ANY [color=maroon]Plague[/color] battle stone indicates your dragon has not been able to withstand the deprivations and hardships of meditating near the Wrymwound and has died. Your trials end here. Exalt the dragon. [/LIST] [*][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/1#post_54629400]Eye rules[/url] reminder: [LIST] [*]If your dragon has [b]Uncommon[/b] eyes then they are more susceptible to Mother’s Touch. Your sign from Mother can come from Pinkerton OR Swipp. Same difficulty rules apply. If playing on Hard Mode you can throw an equivalent item into Baldwin's cauldron instead of the trade item itself. [*]If you receive the BERSERKER battle item then your dragon has broken through its limitations and is eligible to take [b]Glowing Eyes[/b], regardless of the outcome of the other trials.

Survival[/b][/size][/center] ----- The second trial is represented by surviving daily [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=battle]Coli[/url] battles. Before you begin you must get two more dragons to represent [color=maroon]Faith[/color] and [color=maroon]Determination[/color]. [LIST=1] [*]Your Faith and Determination dragons are symbolic protectors of your trial dragon and are meant to act as damage sponges in the Coli. It doesn't matter where these dragons come from (AH, bred fodder, etc), but they should start at lvl 1 and their breed is partially determined by RNG. [*]Throw an Apparel item into Baldwin to determine the breed class of your Faith and Determination dragons. Note that every breed has its own base battle stats, which will affect how well it takes physical damage, magical damage, and how likely it is to dodge attacks. [LIST] [*][u]Grey Slime:[/u] Choose one physical dragon (Scratch attacks) and one magical dragon (Contuse attacks) [*][u]White Slime[/u]: Choose two magical dragons (Contuse attacks) [*][u]Black Slime[/u]: Choose two physical dragons (Scratch attacks) [/LIST] [*]The dragon taking the trials should be placed in the middle of the battle formation, with the dragons representing Faith and Determination flanking them on either side. [*]Choose the Coli venue that corresponds to your dragon’s level. [*]Your Faith and Determination dragons CANNOT ATTACK. They can only DEFEND. ALL attacks must come from the dragon taking the trials. [*]While battling in the Coli you CANNOT end a battle by refreshing the page or clicking out of the window. [*]If your dragon FLEEs they automatically fail their second trial and become a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color]. [*]If at any point you receive the below Coli drops, your dragon has mastered its plague and has passed the second trial: [LIST] [*]Any Plague familiar [*]Plague battle item (Vile bolt, Pestilent Slash, Diseased Might or Acuity Fragment, Contaminate) [*]Plague item (Plague Runestone, Rotting Plaguebringer Effigy, Unhatched Plague Egg, etc) [*]Apparel that qualifies as a Necromantic symbol (see list of symbols under Trial of Infection rules) [/LIST] [*]If BOTH the Faith and Determination dragons faint, your dragon has failed its second trial and has become a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color]. [*]If 23 days have passed and you haven’t received a Plague familiar, Plague battle stone, Plague item or apparel that qualifies as a Necromantic symbol, throw an apparel item into Baldwin. [LIST] [*][u]Black slime[/u] indicates your dragon has died. Your trials end here. Exalt the dragon. [*][u]While slime[/u] indicates your dragon has mastered the plague, but not in time to attempt the third trial. Your dragon has become a [color=maroon]Necroservus[/color]. [*][u]Grey slime[/u] indicates your dragon is still fighting the infection. You may decide to end the dragon’s trial and they will become a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color]. Or you may continue to battle in the Coli until you receive a Plague drop. Once you receive a Plague drop, the dragon becomes a [color=maroon]Wraith[/color]. While fighting in the Coli, events that would result in death, or the dragon turning into a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color], still apply. [/LIST] [*]If the dragon faints at any point, OR if you get a SAP battle stone coli drop, then the dragon has succumbed to their plague and died. Your trials end here. Exalt the dragon. [*]Difficulty rules: [LIST] [*][b]Easy[/b]: Survive at least one round in Coli a day. You may use ONE minor health potion per day on any one dragon. [*][b]Normal[/b]: Survive at least one round in Coli a day. You may not use any health potions. [*][b]Hard[/b]: Survive at least two rounds in Coli a day. The rounds must be consecutive and you may not use any health potions. [/LIST] [*]Coli round notes [LIST] [*]The minimum rounds you must survive in Coli per day is determined by your difficulty level, however you may attempt as many CONSECUTIVE rounds as you would like. Note that leaving the Coli between any rounds ends your Coli attempts for the day. [*]The more consecutive Coli rounds you survive, the higher the chances of obtaining a qualifying Coli drop that lets you pass the second trial. [*]It is recommended that you DO NOT attempt consecutive Coli rounds until your dragons are lvl 2 or above. [/LIST] [*]Leveling rules: [LIST] [*]The dragon taking the trials can have stat points distributed however you’d like. [*]Your Faith and Determination dragons MUST have stat points distributed evenly between Agility (AGL), Vitality (VIT), Defense (DFN), and Mind (MND). The easiest way to do this is to assign stat points one by one to all four attributes and then repeat until available stat points are gone. Do not try to make stats equal, as the different breeds start off with uneven stats. [*]Remember that your dragon must always battle in the Coli venue that matches their level. [/LIST] [*]Hatchlings use modified rules during the Trial of Survival. See the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/2#post_54629491]Hatchling-specific rules[/url] post.

While Plague dragons don't believe in having rulers in the traditional sense, someone needs to help make the hard choices. It just so happens that power gets one far, and Kima is willing to go along with this silly little game if it means proving herself to her family. She has no ties to Kirave and Caodai after all, so once she succeeds there's no need to do anything more for them.[/size][/columns] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/335f8rj4xzh00m5/plaguebottom.png[/img][/center]

Your dragon has survived but has become a Wraith. Your trials end here.[/size][/columns] ----- Kima walked in front of Rasmus and Sly to the trail ground, head held high in confidence. A born Plague dragon, she knew she had a much higher chance of succeeding than the other two did. After all, they haven't grown up under Mothers principles, only learned them from two power hungry individuals. Granted, she can't really blame those two, power is what helps one survive, and to have powerful allies can make life a hell of a lot easier. She stopped in the middle of the trial grounds. Taking a moment to scan her surroundings before sitting herself down, ready to begin her meditation. She heard the other two sit down not so far away. "You sure you want to set up shop here, lot harder to survive the trials in this spot. You might be better off further away." Kima looked to her two companions. While she could honestly care less about them, she knew the poor souls truly had no idea what they were about to get themselves into. Rasmus gave her a small smile, he was always too trusting that one. "Thank you for the advice Kima, but Kirave said the closer you are, the more respected you after you pass, so this seems like the best place. Not too close that my body wouldn't handle it, but not too far away to be seen as weak. I imagine that's the same reason you chose this spot after all." He wasn't far off, Kima mused. If Rasmus survived this, she imagined he'd do well here in the Wasteland, or that very least in spreading Mother's teachings. "Please, like it's that much harder to survive closer," Sly scoffed, earning a glare from Kima. She didn't like the pearlcatcher all that much. He was cocky, well beyond a healthy level of confidence. "Well then, if it's so easy why don't you move closer hot shot. Show the world just how much better you are at this than us." "I will!" Sly declared, earning a worried look from Rasmus and an eyeroll from Kima. He had only moved a few feet closer to the Wyrmwound when he fell over, body spasming with the pain of the disease he had contracted. Rasmus' eyes widened in horror at the display before him, the Kima was relatively unfazed. "It's not uncommon for dragons to die from this Rasmus. If he really is as strong as he says he'll be fine in the next 22 days. If not he dies. He knew what he was getting into, just as much as you. I recommended you ignore him and begin your meditation. The sooner you recieve Mother's blessing, the better off you are." Rasmus nodded, eyes still tranfixed on the sight of the writhing body before him. He took a shaky breath before closing his eyes, trying to connect to the Plaguebringer as he was supposed to do. It was only a few minutes later when he felt a hot pain tear through his body, collapsing to the ground from the force of it. Kima watched on silently. It seems her companions may be more worthy than she initially thought. She closed her eyes, doing her best to ignore Rasmus' pain and Sly's prayers to survive. Her attention was lost when Sly got quiet. She looked over, seeing him collapsed on the ground, but changed. She initally thought he had been sucessful in moving onto the second trial, but another look at his skin told her otherwise. His prayer had been answered, but not by Mother. He was a Wraith now, destined to never have mother's blessing. He would be ushered out of the grounds soon no doubt, left to be in the cursed limbo he can never escape, maybe even die in the next few days. She held no pity for him, not after he took no head of her warnings. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes once more. Maybe the next day will be less distracting, and she'll be lucky enough to recive Mother's touch as well.

Rasmus has to survive at least 1 round in coli. He did 2 today but has yet to move onto the next trial. ----- Kima glanced over at Rasmus once more. It's there second day of the trials. Sly was taken away hours ago, she doesn't know or care what has happened to him since. Rasmus shifted and groaned, causing Kima's gaze to snap to him once again. She should have insisted to stay further apart, he was honestly kind distracting at this point. She will hand it to him though, the kid was doing pretty well all things considered. She didn't expect him to survive this long or get infected almost immediately. Even if he didn't make it, he had her respect. A part of her wished he lived long enough to know that.

Kima knew he has died, didn't have to look at him much to figure that out. She had heard him whispering under his breath earlier, probably praying to Mother. It seemed in the end he just wasn't worthy though. Most dragons weren't, but still, he had come in with so much hope and determination that she couldn't help but feel a small bit bad for him. It wasn't a feeling she'd dwell on though; it would only distract her from success. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Maybe now it would be easier for her to focus on her meditations.

I decided to try a round of Higher or Lower to see if I can move her onto the next trial. I guessed correctly, and now she gets to move onto the next trial. ----- Kima has finally been able to truly focus on her meditation. She's been sitting patiently, waiting for a sign for Mother, but still, none has come. Maybe there was something she was doing wrong, something she missed. She let out a small sigh, opening her eyes to stare out at the Wyrmwound. She could see some of the larger bubbles popping from her spot, but not much else. She tilted her head as she watched, eyes focusing on what little of the Wyrmwound she could see. She imagined what it would be like, to be the green liquid withing. She spread infection how it could, to bubble and splash all day as it did. As she imagined these things, she felt a burning pain in her skin. She doubled over from the agony of it all, breaths coming out in heavy pants as she felt the plague begin to eat at her flesh. Finally, she had gotten Mothers blessing. Now it was time to prove she was worthy. [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/335f8rj4xzh00m5/plaguebottom.png[/img][/center]

Omg, I feel terrible but Sly yelling out "I will!" and then collapsing three feet later had me dying XD Kima as narrator worked out really well, and I'm guilt-ily glad to see Sly make it out alive. Poor Rasmus though, he was such a sweetheart [emoji=mirror sad size=1] Good luck Kima, I'm rooting for you!
