This is a Dungeons & Dragons inspired event! Ideally your dragon will be playing a character— however, feel free to respond as you see fit!
Each day a prompt describing a new place in Rockswell will be released. Each prompt will consist of a location description, 1-2 NPCs to interact with and an optional "clue table."
How to Play:
Each day, PM DismasYves10kt/g as a participation fee. (It's okay to send all 70kt/g in one go if you want!)
Using the prompt given, either write some lore (3+ sentences) or draw a sketch related to the location (scroll down for some ideas!). For a bonus challenge, roll a 4-sided die and use the day's event table to determine what strange and wacky event takes place! (You can also choose an event if one catches your eye!)
Edit: Make sure you are writing from the pov of one of your dragons! If you don't have any lore dragons, feel free to use your pfp :)
Post your creation here! (Note for newbies: images not already on Flight Rising must be uploaded to a different image hosting website to be seen on the forums. I use Imgur, but I've heard ImgBB, flickr and Tumblr work as well.)
If you miss a day, you can make it up by sending 20kt/g and posting your creation. If you prepaid, no need to send any additional late fee!
Rules:
As per Flight Rising ToS, AI-generated art will not be allowed in this event.
If the entry fee is not paid, you may not claim the respective badges and the raffle ticket will be forfeit for any unpaid days.
Participation for each day will earn 1 ticket toward the raffle, and players may win at most 1 prize. Numbers will be pulled via random.org.
Potential Lore Ideas
You can have your dragon interact with an NPC, discuss their thoughts about the landscape, have them react to the randomly rolled event or have them interact with any objects or landmarks described in the prompt!
Potential Art Ideas
You could draw your dragon taking a picture with the scenery or with an NPC, sketch an object, landmark or creature described in the prompt, or even draw a meme related to the randomly rolled event.

The regular badge comes in 2 sizes; the larger one is 300 pixels tall, and the smaller one is 100 pixels tall (can fit in a signature). The animated one just comes in the big size, although you can resize if you'd like.

@pinglist-34554 @pinglist-34555 @TETRAHEDR0N Hello everyone, back again for another adventure! This time, we're going to delve a little into some mystery/horror elements— don't worry, any relevant warnings will be at the top of posts if I feel like it is needed, although I'm not expecting for there to be too many. This is after all, an [i]ordinary[/i] town.
The event table works a bit differently this time: instead of rolling a random event, it will roll a clue that your dragon has discovered! As usual, feel free to pick one you like instead of rolling if that suits your needs better.
Thanks for taking a peek and hope you enjoy your time in Rockswell!

[size=4]With a rumble and the soft hiss of the brakes, the bus arrives at the stop. You grab your bag and hop off with a word of thanks to the driver, who silently acknowledges you with a nod. The morning sky is grey and overcast, with a light fog clinging to the asphalt. This is the town of Rockswell, a small coastal community with nothing really interesting going for it. Nothing, except the recent disappearance of a wealthy sailor by the name of Surfwind.
You've been sent from out of town to investigate. Although you've been briefed on the situation, the case file is almost suspiciously barebones. All you really know is the sailor was last seen at the marina docks around sunset a week ago, and that it looked like he was reading a book. From what you've dug up, that book was checked out from the local library and still hasn't been returned, so you decide to take a look there first.
Upon entering the library, the dim lighting, musty smell and dust-covered shelves make it clear that the building is quite old. Behind the front desk are several medium-sized potted plants, all of them lush and green, some even spilling over the edges of the pot and creeping down the side of the counter. There are also stacks of unsorted books piled up in the corner. At first glance, it doesn't look like anyone is around.
You peer into the darkness between shelves. There is movement. From the shadows, a fae flutters forth, clutching a pen and several half-crumpled magazines in his hand. "Sorry, I'll be with you in just a moment!" He rounds the front desk and drops the magazines in a pile, then turns to you.
He's an odd-looking one, with scruffy clothes and eyes that both look like they're staring off into nothing and seeing right through you. The pen, you notice, is dripping ink all over the desk— looks like it must be broken. The scent of mildew and seawter surrounds him like he had just come back from a dip in the nearby river.

Feel free to ask them questions! They will answer as much as they can before you leave for the next location.

[quote=Larch][size=4]"How can I help you? Investigating the Surfwind case, I see... Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, detective, but people go missing here all the time. It's kind of the norm. Don't worry, they always show up again, just... different. You'll see what I mean; everyone who lives here is a bit odd. Rockswell just attracts that type of dragon, I suppose."

@Dragons & Dragons Daily Pinglist@Dragons & Dragons News Pinglist @TETRAHEDR0N Hello everyone, back again for another adventure! This time, we're going to delve a little into some mystery/horror elements— don't worry, any relevant warnings will be at the top of posts if I feel like it is needed, although I'm not expecting for there to be too many. This is after all, an ordinary town.
The event table works a bit differently this time: instead of rolling a random event, it will roll a clue that your dragon has discovered! As usual, feel free to pick one you like instead of rolling if that suits your needs better.
Thanks for taking a peek and hope you enjoy your time in Rockswell!
Sunday
With a rumble and the soft hiss of the brakes, the bus arrives at the stop. You grab your bag and hop off with a word of thanks to the driver, who silently acknowledges you with a nod. The morning sky is grey and overcast, with a light fog clinging to the asphalt. This is the town of Rockswell, a small coastal community with nothing really interesting going for it. Nothing, except the recent disappearance of a wealthy sailor by the name of Surfwind.
You've been sent from out of town to investigate. Although you've been briefed on the situation, the case file is almost suspiciously barebones. All you really know is the sailor was last seen at the marina docks around sunset a week ago, and that it looked like he was reading a book. From what you've dug up, that book was checked out from the local library and still hasn't been returned, so you decide to take a look there first.
Upon entering the library, the dim lighting, musty smell and dust-covered shelves make it clear that the building is quite old. Behind the front desk are several medium-sized potted plants, all of them lush and green, some even spilling over the edges of the pot and creeping down the side of the counter. There are also stacks of unsorted books piled up in the corner. At first glance, it doesn't look like anyone is around.
You peer into the darkness between shelves. There is movement. From the shadows, a fae flutters forth, clutching a pen and several half-crumpled magazines in his hand. "Sorry, I'll be with you in just a moment!" He rounds the front desk and drops the magazines in a pile, then turns to you.
He's an odd-looking one, with scruffy clothes and eyes that both look like they're staring off into nothing and seeing right through you. The pen, you notice, is dripping ink all over the desk— looks like it must be broken. The scent of mildew and seawter surrounds him like he had just come back from a dip in the nearby river.
NPCS:
Feel free to ask them questions! They will answer as much as they can before you leave for the next location.

"How can I help you? Investigating the Surfwind case, I see... Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, detective, but people go missing here all the time. It's kind of the norm. Don't worry, they always show up again, just... different. You'll see what I mean; everyone who lives here is a bit odd. Rockswell just attracts that type of dragon, I suppose."
EVENT TABLE (optional!)
For a bonus challenge, roll a 4-sided die and use the day's event table to determine a clue that you might find!

"Thanks for the reassurance, can you tell me what book the missing sailor has checked out of the library currently? Maybe it can give us a clue as to where he may have disappeared to."

Huh... Hallow supposes that nothing can be perfectly cut-and-dry, but this is strange. Certainly, there are an abundance of plants, but they are lush and vigorous and not shedding their leaves. Or maybe he's missing the forest for the leaves, as it may be... he leaves the shelves and returns to the frazzled librarian, intending to press for more information about how Surfwind appeared the night he was seen last. But he tucks away the shriveled, odd leaf in the back of his mind, just in case it may prove useful later.
