The Portal Research Recycling Raffle has now ended!
Howeve, if you would like to look back at the Research Requests, here they are in the order they were posted ...
Sunday: 10 Stationery Items
Unfortunately the shipment of stationery from the Observatory has been delayed! The Research Team needs paper, parchment, books, ink, quills - and anything else you can think of that would help them note down their observations. Be creative if you like!
Monday: 20 Stones and Minerals
The researchers have decided to start their experiments with non-organic matter - stone, rock, soil, minerals and anything else that makes up the surface of Sornieth.
Tuesday: 15 Plant Products
Moving on from their initial inquiries, the Researchers would like to see what happens when they introduce organic matter. Today they are looking for plants and plant products, such as flowers, leaves, vines, wood and even pollen.
Wednesday: 25 Animal Products
Following their study of plant matter yesterday, the researchers are now interested in moving up the food chain to animals. Today they are looking for claws, feathers, scales and bones - anything that was once a part of a bird, beast or familiar.
Thursday: 10 Replicas and Statues
It looks like there might be something on the other side of the Portal … something dragonkind has never seen before! The research team wants to show them what our world is like by sending them masks, statues, tablets and even toys depicting the creatures of Sornieth.
Friday: 20 Beastclan Artifacts
One of the scholars in the Observatory has a theory that the entities beyond the Forbidden Portal might have more in common with the Beastclans of Sornieth than with dragonkind. The researchers want to send through Beastclan artifacts, treasures and even remains in the hopes that they might be familiar to the creatures that lie beyond.
Saturday: 10 Soft Things
The researchers suspect that the world through the Portal isn’t a very nice place … so they want to send the inhabitants soft things to maybe make their lives a little more comfortable! Please send in fabrics, feathers, fluffy hides, friendly toys and anything else you think is ‘soft’.
Sunday: 15 Tools
The research team is running low on supplies yet again after a week packed full of experiments. Today they are looking for tools - anything they might use to conduct their research!
Monday: 15 Books and Research Materials
There are eldritch creatures pouring through the Portal! The research teams are scrambling to read up on anything that might explain the new arrivals … can you help them by supplying books and papers that might have some information?
Tuesday: 15 Weapons and Armour
It looks like the creatures coming through the Portal aren’t as friendly as the researchers hoped! They need to defend themselves - please provide them with weapons, armour, poisons and anything else they could use in the fight!
Wednesday: 10 Pretty Distractions
In the hopes that the Portal creatures might be appeased - or at least distracted! - the research teams want to try offering them artefacts from across Sornieth. Interesting shells, tiles and tablets, fabulous scales - anything that is bright and beautiful to look at.
Thursday: 10 Containers and Jars
The Arcanist is trying to close the Portal! But in the meantime, the researchers are trying to contain the eldritch goop that has spilled out while they weren’t paying attention … which means they need something to scoop it into. They can’t just carry it in their claws, that goes against safety protocols! Please send in jars, pots, baskets and containers - empty or full! even if they’re not in perfect condition! - so that the researchers can put them to use.
Friday:15 Decorations
The researchers have been so busy that they’ve barely noticed the Starfall Celebration going on around them … but they have decided to spruce up their surroundings before it’s all over! Please send them anything they might use as decorations: things that glitter and glow, could be used in garlands, streamers or wreaths, or simply look bright and cheerful. Don’t worry, your donations don’t have to be pink!
Saturday: 20 Gems and Jewels
It’s been quite a week! But now it’s time to enjoy the last moments of the Starfall Celebration. Before the raffle ends, the researchers want to bolster their funds with some twinkling treasures … Can you spare any precious and semi-precious gems or jewelled items?
Please state in your Crossroads Trade Message or PM what item(s) you are sending in to complete a Research Request (and explain how they fit if you think it’s needed). If you don’t do this, I will assume you’re sending a normal donation and you will not receive the bonus tickets.
Remember: you can also send random items that don't fit the Research Request at any time and receive normal raffle tickets.
