Quests & Challenges

[It'll probably be a bit until I do a new one! One day I'll return to throw more dragons into the cauldron, but I'm losing steam on it right now XP]

I was keeping track of Stelsora's trials since day three, and this was an incredible ride to be on. I was rooting for him to pass despite it all, but I enjoy this outcome. You wrote this really well and it was a delight to watch unfold :D

WE ARE BACK
Spreadsheets update has made me want to take this up again, and I absolutely am, so !!! We are so back as they say

[center][size=6]RUN #3: AN ALLURING CALL[/size] [b]Marco,[/b] a Skydancer who has sought the Cauldron by the hand of Mother's Joy. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/93799719][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=150&bodygene=23&breed=13&element=9&eyetype=1&gender=0&tert=13&tertgene=12&winggene=82&wings=18&auth=852fa69071bb5513d787ea687e434a41f5cc3086&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url][/center] Born in the Starwood Strand, Plague has always loomed close. Though his parents warned him of the harsh and horrible flight that lingered and fought for their land, the curiosity of what it was never left him. Now an adult on his own, he has braved the harsh lands of Plague, and found it exciting and tantalizing. Upon learning of the trials, harsh as he knew they were, he couldn't help but want to seek even more. His arcane nature meant a desire to seek and learn, after all; and what better way was there to learn but to face it himself? He knew he may die, but... It was a worthy pursuit of inquiry, he figured. [i]Marco has [b]uncommon[/b] eyes, and is easily influenced by the magic surrounding him. He will have an advantage in the Trial of Infection, and can use Pinkerton AND Swipp for a sign.[/i] [i]First day will begin once Marco is no longer a Hatchling.[/i] [size=1]I know the last skydancer failed horribly on me, however. uhm. well. have you considered. uh. okay I just randomly get these guys off the AH based on whoever is cheapest. So I embrace this chaos.[/size]

Thank you both !! Everyone pray that he does not also become megadead LOL

[center][b][size=4]Day 1[/size][/b][/center] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/93799719][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/937998/93799719_350.png[/img][/url] Approaching the Cauldron, Marco chooses a middling spot, bracing himself for the trials at hand. His run will be on [b]Normal[/b] difficulty. The Plague of this place is potent, and rushes to meet him. [b]Marco will be able to use Swipp alongside Pinkerton for his sign[/b] [center][item=Berserker][/center] He knew mother called him, and she called for a reason. Almost as soon as he settled down the festering Plague of the region seeped into him with such speed it felt overwhelming. It was rare for an individual to take so quickly to disease; let alone to take so quickly that it overflowed. But yet, clutching the ground below him, the festering felt [I]powerful[/I]. Though his body was wracked with illness, he felt [b]empowered.[/b] Mother called to him, and she was rewarding his inquiry. [center][b]Marco has broken through his limitations, and is eligible for [I]Glowing[/I] eyes after his trials. He may also proceed immediately.[/b][/center] [size=1]Mark this two for two skydancers rushing into the coliseum, good lord! Thanks Mother for rewarding me for coming back XP[/size]

[center][size=4][b]Day 1: Trial of Infection[/b][/size] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/93799719][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/937998/93799719_350.png[/img][/url] [item=White Slime][/center] [b]White Slime[/b] means his Faith and Determination will be two magical fighters. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/90962560][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/909626/90962560_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/92812085][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/928121/92812085_350.png[/img][/url] His [b]Faith[/b] and [b]Determination[/b] flank him. Now all he has to do is survive. The disease had rushed to him, and that overwhelming surge of Infection was enough to run him slightly ragged. Coughing, hacking, choking on the air around him. Bolstered as he was, he felt weak... But against all odds, he managed to survive. The potent disease festered within him, and by the time the sun set, he felt it begin to reach some sense of equalibrium. [b]Marco has not surpassed the Infection. 22 days remain.[/b]

[center][size=4][b]Day 2[/b][/size] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/93799719][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/937998/93799719_350.png[/img][/url][/center] The disease is still harsh, and as the sun rises, he struggles to breathe. The intense pox over his body clenches and curls, his body wracked with disease. Mother's blessing was almost [i]too[/i] potent for his frail, skydancer body. Perhaps, in order to prepare him for the power he'll obtain, she first had to break his body into a form that could survive. Against all odds, though, he did not croak a final breath. Though his body shook with the virulence of disease, he [i]survived[/i]. Perhaps Mother lent her power for a reason. [b]Marco has not surpassed the Infection. 21 days remain.[/b] [size=1]Okay I NEED to talk about this. He survived for 3 attacks at 2 hp because the enemies kept picking the faith and determination dragons. 2 HP!!!! All it took was one hit and he'd be dead but I guess Mother blessed this run with the ability to not die instantly???[/size]
