[center][b][u]DEFEAT THE DARK LORD SNOWBALL: AN RPG RAFFLE[/b][/u][/center] A horrible blight has been brought upon the many lands of Sornieth. Not a plague nor a war, but a pervasive [i]inconvenience[/i]. Is there anything worse? Gathered no opal cobras this week? Your most precious breeding pair only laid a single egg? All these seemingly random annoyances can be traced to one being; a dragon so nefarious, his name strikes fear and terror into all whom he may wander past. Or, at least, caused some grumbling; [quote=THE DARK LORD SNOWBALL][center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=787683] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/7877/787683_350.png[/img] [/url] [b]The source of his terrible powers:[/b] [item=Cranial Hornhelm] HEALTH: 9001[/center][/quote] An unlikely batch of heroes has set out to DEFEAT the Dark Lord Snowball and UNCROWN HIM. D-decrown him? Either way, they have vowed to defeat him and take his Hornhelm, robbing him of his negative powers over the randomness of the universe. Will you aid in their quest?

His parents were very proud. Doctor Kissums is a scientist studying a variety of subjects. After a failed foray into the world of necromancy where he just couldn’t get the darn bodies to actually move (spoiler: he’s a frost mage, so he probably never will be able to do it), he turned to studying entropy. He was the only one to confirm that the plague of misfortune was caused by the Dark Lord Snowball… to prevent the misfortune from spreading and ruining the fates of all dragons, he decided to join the fight.

She used to be a simple sousaphone player, playing out in the open for all to enjoy. One day, her sousaphone was knocked from her coils, and stepped on by no other than the Dark Lord Snowball as the heavy snapper was stomping by. Mortified, Nibbletts’ hyperventilation gave her a flash of the future, and she saw what was to come… a world of eternal misfortune by the hands of the Dark Lord Snowball! She picked up a new Brass Cornet and called for heroes to journey to rise up against his reign of terror and bad luck.

He’s thick, thuggish, and is very poor at speaking. In fact, he is so bad that he often forces people to pronounce his name as Murshwuggerr. Murshwuggerr took out his anger on those around him, and volunteered for hunting. When he’d go, he’d only ever find two or three lizards at a time and nothing else, earning a scolding from everyone around him. He tried to defend the lair, but immediately got quashed by the beasts surrounding the clan. When he finally just waited and let things pass, he was called lazy. One day, he was struck with a snowball when other dragons were having a snowball fight, and the only snowball to ever hit him had a rock in it. He took this as a sign and reason to hate all snowballs ever… it was really only Nibbletts that told Murshwuggerr that his misfortunes were coming from the Dark Lord Snowball.

Love is unfair! Valentine knows, knows that he could find love in the lovely ladies around him. He knows for SURE that there have been cues thrown his way… but there’s undoubtedly some cruel twist of fate keeping him from catching on! He knows he’s not the Bumbling Casanova because he can’t see the signals or that he accidentally misses them… no! It’s most certainly that the misfortune caused by the Dark Lord Snowball that makes him unfortunate enough to miss the dates that cute girls set up or to not be able to find a lovely gift for them at the last minute.

Seriously. She can take it. No matter what you sling at her, she’s gonna take that hit. She became like that after growing up with larger dragon breeds and wanting to stand up to them. She kept getting into fights, and one day, met the Dark Lord Snowball on the snapper’s wanderings. She challenged him to a contest to prove her toughness, demanding that the dragons in the area attack them. Every dragon’s scratch landed a critical hit on Tinkles, and Snowball ended up dodging every single one. The aggression would not stand… Tinkles was quick to join on the quest to take down Snowball before his nefarious deeds could affect all of dragonkind.

His tragic encounter with The Dark Lord Snowball involved a poor investment in festival bears. How was Sensei supposed to know they would be so common? Dragon poor, the Sensei took to the Coliseum and began grinding tirelessly. He is powerful, now, and has agreed to train the Heroes along their quest...

FAQ Quick Guide:

How much do Tokens/Tickets cost? Can I pay with Treasure or Gems?

(1) Token costs 10k Treasure OR 18 Gems each.
(20) Token bundles are available for 150K Treasure or 285250 Gems.

Where do I send my treasure/gems for Tokens? How do I pick my hero/stats?


Is there a limit on how few or how many Tokens I can buy?
There are no limits on Token purchases.

When does the raffle end?

When the combined Power stat of the Heroes matches or exceeds Snowballs 9001 Health.

If this does not happen within (2) Months, the raffle will end with however many Unlocked items are available being distributed, but the Hornhelm will not have been unlocked. THE DARK LORD SNOWBALL'S REIGN OF TERROR WILL CONTINUE.

If the raffle is still active, but not reached the Hornhelm within (2) Months, I will consider an extension.

If I buy multiple tickets, can I back multiple Heroes or just one?
You may back as many of the Heroes in whatever number and whatever stats you please.
Ex. If you have (5) Tickets, you are free to place (1) Token on each Hero to total all (5) tokens. You are then within the prize pool for all five heroes! If you place all (5) of your tokens on Valentine, you are only entered to win for Valentine's specific prize pool. If he does not win the Hornhelm at the end, your tickets are not available to win that item.

How many winners are drawn?
-There will be a total of FIVE winners drawn for the Hero Specific Raffle.
-There will be winners drawn for EACH Sprite Unlocked. Winners will receive a Sprite in the order they were drawn. (If all the Sprites are unlocked, the first drawn winner will get the Arcane Sprite and the last drawn will receive the Nature Sprite.)
-There will be ONE winner of the Free Token Raffle.

Can I win more than one prize?
Only if you are the most lucky person ever.
Meaning: No.
Nobody will win more than one prize.

Because of how ticket sales went, multiple people's numbers came up multiple times. The Dark Lord has truly been slain.

If my Hero is Level 3, do I win all his equipment?
Yes! And the dragon, too.

The hero is ugly and I don't want them.
Well, then I'll find somebody who does. Don't accept the Crossroads and the Equipment alone will be your prize. Spoil sport...
