THE VISION
A hatchlocke
Finders keepers
Come meet the reapers
Thicker than water
Welcome to the slaughter
-Come Meet The Reapers by Fable Cry
Cardani was cast from his clan for his inability to see light; only his heat sensing eyes work. Joined by Ink and Million, The Pack of Visions is created. However, forces beyond any of their sights pull strings admist the land they live. They are nothing but small pebbles among a mountain of change.
Tw: Violence, non-descript gore, cosmic horror (will be labeled before each chapter)
As the creator of this 'locke, obviously I was going to make a run of my own. Majority of rules are listed here, but I've cut some fluff out. Espescially anything optional, I'll just show what I'm using.

I will also put down, I started this 'locke mainly because I have a lot of dragons I've hatched, that I want to do something with, but haven't paired them off. When I get a "buy a dragon off AH", I'll introduce these dragons, until I run out. I may also use dragons I've gotten from free threads, as NPCs, but am unsure.

Genreal Rules
  • If a dragon dies in the coli, it's exalted

  • If a dragon reaches level 25, it "retires". You may not battle or breed with this dragon. You may exalt the dragon or keep it for personal use.
  • Dragons that reach levels 5, 10, 15, and 20 receive an extra life for each of those milestones.
  • If a dragon is a level above your 'arch, they may challenge them to take over. Roll a D20 for each level above the 'arch it is. On a 5 or lower, the dragon challenges your 'arch. Roll a D12 if your 'arch is challenged.

    -On a 7-9 the 'arch and challenger respect each other and the 'arch surrenders. The challenger becomes the new 'arch
    -On a 10-12, the challenger and 'arch respect other and the challenger surrenders. The old 'arch stays in command.
  • If your 'arch dies from something other then a challenge, someone in their family must take over. Priority is 1) kids 2) siblings 3) parents. If they have no family available, RNG the next 'arch.

    In the event you've run out of lair space... Natural disaster. 1-3 D20's, based on how many dragons you want to clear out. Pick a dragon (either on your own or RNG) that'll survive if you roll the max number of dragons in your locke, and no extra lives are avaible. This is a cleaning/cash making strategy, not an automatic loss. Reccomend about 10 slots, for 2, 5 nest eggs. (Since two 5s are unlikely, you should have wiggle room.)

    Collecting dragons
    You may only recieve dragons from breeding your 'locke dragons, or when an event asks you to buy one[...] flip a coin for each egg in the nest. Heads the egg is added to the locke. Tails the egg is exatled.

    Draw Event Type
    [...]Crim Simple. Use the five items Crim wants as your draw, and complete five draw events. For those who want more things to do, but not a ton*
    (*I might swap between Crim Trade and Crim Check In too once I get used to this)
    Coli battles pile quickly with Crim. If you get 100+ battles, you may drop the amount and do 50 battles instead.

Food: Coliseum
Plant: 10-20 matches

(I will be doing the low end for these)

Familiar: Buy the cheapest level 1 dragon off the AH. Flip a coin. Heads it's a baby, tails its an adult.

Wite an important lore post, make a moodboard, draw/buy art, pick a theme song, worldbuild that bit you haven't explained, come up with dumb headcanons like what the dragons favriote movies would be. Truly a freebie. If you are feeling too burnout, take this as an oppurtunity for a break.

Battle items: Death streak. Randomly select three dragons. Fight in the coli either 10 consequtive rounds, or until a dragon dies.

He knew they needed to stop soon, hearing Ink's smaller wings falter every once and a while. She needed rest, he needed rest. They also needed food. The problem was shelter. The plaguelands, full of decay, did not allow shelter aside from occasionally towering bones and rocks. Not that he could really see them, or even smell them. He wondered how things would've been, had he grown somewhere else where he could smell every block, and weaknessess was not shunned. He shook his head. His blindness was not weakness, he would never say that. Ink shook him, "Trees! Trees!" Cardani breathed deeply. Yes, a new scent. He was not sure what trees were supposed to smell like, at least is Gladekeeper's realm. In Plaguebringer's, they smelled of decay and what he assumed was bark. He had assumed every tree grew leaves, but these carried no leaf scent. He'd take a better look later. Right now, Ink was dragging him closer. "They're dead," she sighed, "but that's expected. But Cardani, it looks like a whole forest is here! That's so rare in the plaguelands." It was. He recalled on Mirror pack whe joined who followed migrating animals. These animals apparently stopped by many forest on the way, but he'd been kicked out before he got there. Was this one of the forests? He dropped the thought. "Rare indeed. Plenty of prey must come here, do you think there any good streams?" Wind brushed against his face as Ink took off to survey above, quickly returning. "There's a brook! It looks like further it turns into a marsh. Cardani, we've found an oasis!" [i]Oasis[/i]. He liked the sound. A marsh would be too wet, but they could hide in the trees for tonight. Ink would dig them a nest. He didn't want to get her hopes up, but this could be their home. His insticnts pushed against the thought, one of a permanent place, but he was not built for constant traveling. Or, at least, Ink wasn't, and she was his guide. He could not manage travel alone, so he would settle on a home with her. The was when something crawled out of the ground. Two-headed, two-tailed, a large body. [i]Aberration[/i], and a quick smell confirmed. Ink pushed into her side. "What are you doing here," it growled. Cardani stepped forward, twoard it. Him. Smelled like a him. Ink followed. He always did the talking. "We just want to rest. We've walked long, and we need food. We need some rest to hunt. It's obvious now, this place would be claimed by a clan, we apologize." One head dropped. (Assumedly. The heat melded with the chest, usually that meant the head lowered.) The other kept staring. Then both heads snapped twoard each other, until the heat mingled to where one snount ended and the other began was unknowable. Finally, after some whispered argument, he responded. "No clan, just me." "Us." "Me." The heads snapped back together for another whispered argument. Cardani was starting to feel annoyed. A cough. "As I was saying, just [i]me[/i]. I'll allow you a stay, as long as you agree to help hunt. There is a large beast in the marsh nearby. It would provide plenty of meat-" "-and bones!" "That would feed myself for days. I've not been able to take it down alone." Cardani weighed his options for a second. It would be too much risk, taking on a difficult hunt for some rest. Even if he relished the idea of such a chase. He was about to respond no, when Ink whispered in his ear. "Cardani! This dragon has many, many eyes. On his horns to his tails. And he's bigger then both of us. The fact he didn't chase us away is huge." Cardani tilted his head. Ink always thought in ways he couldn't. "I should warn you, only two of my eyes work. I can only sees things that give off heat. Body heat. She has to stay beside me or I'll step into a ditch." The heads argued again. "Fine. Two bodies is better then one, just like two heads is. If you must work as one body and two heads, I don't care." "Come, we'll show you our lair-" "Our home-" "-Our lair, so you can sleep." ----- Cardani growled as he tripped over a root to their home. Ink moved to help, but a growl grumbled in Cardani's throat. "We're here, I don't need you to walk me anymore." Ink knew he was frustated, today had been a bad hunt. She didn't help him down the tunnel. She didn't need too, the tunnel was carved into a step-like structure. Cardani already knew his own home like the back of his hand, he knew which direction to go from the entrance to his bed. He flopped over onto the deer (assumedly, animals were weird in plague) hide. "What happend?" Million asked. One head, the right, looked at Cardani, while the other chewed on a leftover bone. "I tripped," Cardani grumbled. He rolled onto his back, using his hands to talk. "We were chasing some rabbit-things, it would've been a massive haul. But I didn't see a rock, I tripped." The head chewing the bone let out a giggle. The slapstick in his mind was probably exaggerated. The other head simply shrugged. Cardani rolled back onto their side. He was [i]very[/i] frustated with himself, today. This was why he couldn't find a pack among his own species, he'd always been left behind on the hunt. He'd decided to make his own pack one day. At first he wanted to make one of other mirrors, he didn't think any other species could keep with a hunt. That was until he had been starving, dying, and Ink appeared. Her bug-like eyes and long body provided more then the occosional prey, she had become his guide. At first he hated it, and there were still days he snapped at her. He sighed, pushing to his feet and quickly scanning the room. While his light-seeing eyes could not help him spot rocks or dirt, his heat-sensing eyes worked fine. He saw the twisting mass of warmth that marked Ink- Million had the two heads and mixture of multiple organs- and approached her. "I'm sorry, I was quite upset after our hunt. I took it out on you." Ink quickly twisted to face Cardani, and he felt her throw a hug onto him, "I'm not mad!" "What are you doing?" he asked, sniffing the shelves Ink had been pawing at. It was their 'kitchen' (a firepit and some seasonings), but they'd caught nothing to cook. Ink took her arms off Cardani and twisted above him. "I was just looking at our stock. We'll probably need to find some plants soon." She pulled a jar off the shelf, shaking it so Cardani could hear the few leaves. "There's still light left, we can gather some today if you want." "Oh no," she said, placing the jar back, "we should hunt again. You need to eat, too." She yawned, "I should take a nap first," and she slunk away to her crevice. He felt a small smile cross his face. He had never expected a spiral to keep up with his persistance hunting, hearing stories of their bursts before sleeping mid-sentance. Ink was actually quite attune to her energy levels. Cardani had no problems letting her sleep as much as she wanted, as long as she kept up. He swung to face Million, "Will you be joining us?" "Of course-" "No, I have a bone to chew you imbecile." "Your bone will still be here when you get back." "I have started chewing it, and I shall not be stopped!" The argument continued. Cardani's smile widened. He didn't need a pack of other mirrors. ----- And that's the introduction to our three starters! Maybe not my best writing, I do better with emotionally charged scenes then "first chapters". We'll get plenty of those later on. I'll start the first pull tomorrow after work, or Monday. Depends how late I work and how many coli battles I pull.

dragon?did=91830254&skin=0&apparel=&xt=dressing.png
Cardani and Ink had been traveling a long time today, even his legs were growing weary. He knew they needed to stop soon, hearing Ink's smaller wings falter every once and a while. She needed rest, he needed rest. They also needed food. The problem was shelter. The plaguelands, full of decay, did not allow shelter aside from occasionally towering bones and rocks. Not that he could really see them, or even smell them. He wondered how things would've been, had he grown somewhere else where he could smell every block, and weaknessess was not shunned. He shook his head. His blindness was not weakness, he would never say that.
Ink shook him, "Trees! Trees!"
Cardani breathed deeply. Yes, a new scent. He was not sure what trees were supposed to smell like, at least is Gladekeeper's realm. In Plaguebringer's, they smelled of decay and what he assumed was bark. He had assumed every tree grew leaves, but these carried no leaf scent. He'd take a better look later. Right now, Ink was dragging him closer.
"They're dead," she sighed, "but that's expected. But Cardani, it looks like a whole forest is here! That's so rare in the plaguelands."
It was. He recalled on Mirror pack whe joined who followed migrating animals. These animals apparently stopped by many forest on the way, but he'd been kicked out before he got there. Was this one of the forests?
He dropped the thought. "Rare indeed. Plenty of prey must come here, do you think there any good streams?"
Wind brushed against his face as Ink took off to survey above, quickly returning. "There's a brook! It looks like further it turns into a marsh. Cardani, we've found an oasis!"
Oasis. He liked the sound. A marsh would be too wet, but they could hide in the trees for tonight. Ink would dig them a nest. He didn't want to get her hopes up, but this could be their home. His insticnts pushed against the thought, one of a permanent place, but he was not built for constant traveling. Or, at least, Ink wasn't, and she was his guide. He could not manage travel alone, so he would settle on a home with her.
The was when something crawled out of the ground. Two-headed, two-tailed, a large body. Aberration, and a quick smell confirmed. Ink pushed into her side.
"What are you doing here," it growled.
Cardani stepped forward, twoard it. Him. Smelled like a him. Ink followed. He always did the talking.
"We just want to rest. We've walked long, and we need food. We need some rest to hunt. It's obvious now, this place would be claimed by a clan, we apologize."
One head dropped. (Assumedly. The heat melded with the chest, usually that meant the head lowered.) The other kept staring. Then both heads snapped twoard each other, until the heat mingled to where one snount ended and the other began was unknowable.
Finally, after some whispered argument, he responded. "No clan, just me."
"Us."
"Me."
The heads snapped back together for another whispered argument. Cardani was starting to feel annoyed.
A cough. "As I was saying, just me. I'll allow you a stay, as long as you agree to help hunt. There is a large beast in the marsh nearby. It would provide plenty of meat-"
"-and bones!"
"That would feed myself for days. I've not been able to take it down alone."
Cardani weighed his options for a second. It would be too much risk, taking on a difficult hunt for some rest. Even if he relished the idea of such a chase. He was about to respond no, when Ink whispered in his ear.
"Cardani! This dragon has many, many eyes. On his horns to his tails. And he's bigger then both of us. The fact he didn't chase us away is huge."
Cardani tilted his head. Ink always thought in ways he couldn't. "I should warn you, only two of my eyes work. I can only sees things that give off heat. Body heat. She has to stay beside me or I'll step into a ditch."
The heads argued again. "Fine. Two bodies is better then one, just like two heads is. If you must work as one body and two heads, I don't care."
"Come, we'll show you our lair-"
"Our home-"
"-Our lair, so you can sleep."
Cardani growled as he tripped over a root to their home. Ink moved to help, but a growl grumbled in Cardani's throat. "We're here, I don't need you to walk me anymore." Ink knew he was frustated, today had been a bad hunt. She didn't help him down the tunnel. She didn't need too, the tunnel was carved into a step-like structure. Cardani already knew his own home like the back of his hand, he knew which direction to go from the entrance to his bed. He flopped over onto the deer (assumedly, animals were weird in plague) hide.
"What happend?" Million asked. One head, the right, looked at Cardani, while the other chewed on a leftover bone.
"I tripped," Cardani grumbled. He rolled onto his back, using his hands to talk. "We were chasing some rabbit-things, it would've been a massive haul. But I didn't see a rock, I tripped."
The head chewing the bone let out a giggle. The slapstick in his mind was probably exaggerated. The other head simply shrugged.
Cardani rolled back onto their side. He was very frustated with himself, today. This was why he couldn't find a pack among his own species, he'd always been left behind on the hunt. He'd decided to make his own pack one day. At first he wanted to make one of other mirrors, he didn't think any other species could keep with a hunt. That was until he had been starving, dying, and Ink appeared. Her bug-like eyes and long body provided more then the occosional prey, she had become his guide. At first he hated it, and there were still days he snapped at her. He sighed, pushing to his feet and quickly scanning the room. While his light-seeing eyes could not help him spot rocks or dirt, his heat-sensing eyes worked fine. He saw the twisting mass of warmth that marked Ink- Million had the two heads and mixture of multiple organs- and approached her.
"I'm sorry, I was quite upset after our hunt. I took it out on you."
Ink quickly twisted to face Cardani, and he felt her throw a hug onto him, "I'm not mad!"
"What are you doing?" he asked, sniffing the shelves Ink had been pawing at. It was their 'kitchen' (a firepit and some seasonings), but they'd caught nothing to cook.
Ink took her arms off Cardani and twisted above him. "I was just looking at our stock. We'll probably need to find some plants soon." She pulled a jar off the shelf, shaking it so Cardani could hear the few leaves.
"There's still light left, we can gather some today if you want."
"Oh no," she said, placing the jar back, "we should hunt again. You need to eat, too." She yawned, "I should take a nap first," and she slunk away to her crevice.
He felt a small smile cross his face. He had never expected a spiral to keep up with his
persistance hunting, hearing stories of their bursts before sleeping mid-sentance. Ink was actually quite attune to her energy levels. Cardani had no problems letting her sleep as much as she wanted, as long as she kept up.
He swung to face Million, "Will you be joining us?"
"Of course-"
"No, I have a bone to chew you imbecile."
"Your bone will still be here when you get back."
"I have started chewing it, and I shall not be stopped!"
The argument continued. Cardani's smile widened. He didn't need a pack of other mirrors.
And that's the introduction to our three starters! Maybe not my best writing, I do better with emotionally charged scenes then "first chapters". We'll get plenty of those later on. I'll start the first pull tomorrow after work, or Monday. Depends how late I work and how many coli battles I pull.

TW: Violence, implied gore

Two new dragons had been looking for shelter. The older was bright blues, Slushie, and the younger was dark yellows, Pyrite. The dragons had spent a couple days in camp, mostly keep to each other. Ink was not pleased, particularly she seemed to dislike Slush.
"He's creepy," she'd hiss.
"And Pyrite isn't?" Cardani would ask.
"They're different levels of creepy."
Million, ever protective, was splitting himself apart watching these siblings. Spindle had quickly passed his "test", after all the aether has saved them. It was then when he approached Cardani with an idea. "We attack the beast again, we've six dragons among us now."
"Five," the other head had reprimanded, "Cardani and Ink work as one."

The beast sat in the middle of the bog. It was night, cool and quiet. The beast slumbered. It was so big. Cardani swallowed, thirsty. Your blood will be a fine drink, he thought to himself. He was supposed to lead the charge, burst out of the bushes. Million was on the ground on the other side, while Spindle and the siblings would get its back from the air. But Cardani was grabbed, pulled further back. Ink! Ink!, he tried to scream. His mouth was covered.
Cardani was flipped over, taking a breath of the paw that was suffocating him. Slush. "Where is Million," Slush demanded, slightly lifting the paw. "He was supposed to be on the other side, I don't see him."

Cardani had begged, he'd wanted his savior to stay. Spindle said this would never be his home, he wanted to be some place safe, and a place he could reasearch. (The cavern didn't allow room for a research area). Million's insides churned. Something about Spindle's sudden want to research, combined with the appearance of the bounty hunters. He couldn't deal with just Ink and Cardani beside him. Pyrite was still around. [i]What do we do?[/i] the left head asked the other. The more reckless, the less focused. The right head did not respond. They walked, with Million following slowly behind. "Spindle," the right head finally said, "you think nothing is worth researching here? The Beast?"

TW: Violence
Spindle had never planned to stay. Cardani had begged, he'd wanted his savior to stay. Spindle said this would never be his home, he wanted to be some place safe, and a place he could reasearch. (The cavern didn't allow room for a research area). Million's insides churned. Something about Spindle's sudden want to research, combined with the appearance of the bounty hunters. He couldn't deal with just Ink and Cardani beside him. Pyrite was still around.
What do we do? the left head asked the other. The more reckless, the less focused. The right head did not respond.
They walked, with Million following slowly behind. "Spindle," the right head finally said, "you think nothing is worth researching here? The Beast?"
Spindle shook his head. "Oh the beast is intereating, but it's just Mother's creations. If there were more of them, I could imagine the possibilities!"
Million's tails twitched, forming and unforming their helix. His eyes blinked at the same time, usually. Right now they went slowly, crawling. He wanted one on Spindle at all times.

"Of course! I enjoyed my stay here."

Obviously this is not a great set up when I only have 4 dragons. 3/4 still have their extra lives, so hoping Pyrite isn't rolled at all. I'll use the apparel roll to prep later chapters- assuming I survive that long. Dragons for coli were Pyrite, Million, and Cardani. Cardani has bolster and goes first, so 10 battles in the path was nothing, and Cardani got to level 8, while Million got to 7. Dragon for 74 was Ink, so she lost a life. Lowest levels were Py (4), Ink (6), and Million (7), so 10 more battles in Woodland Path. It was close by round 6 but Py fell first. And finally the besties which was Ink and Cardani. Befitting. Anyway, next time I get to grab a new dragon I might buy Million a partner instead.

52. Death Streak. Choose the lowest level dragons for this one.
74. RNG a dragon who passes from unknown causes
61. RNG two dragons. These dragons love each other to death- literally. If one dragon dies, the other does too, regardless of extra lives or other protection.
So. Obviously this is not a great set up when I only have 4 dragons. 3/4 still have their extra lives, so hoping Pyrite isn't rolled at all.
