The Voice has spoken gaia_crown [ Beginning your Voyage ]: You arrive in the
dilapidated remains of a modest shack. In front of you are four creatures tied to a long wooden beam. You must untie and choose one of of the
mounts before you begin your quest. This post has a breakdown of all the important elements of your quest. Once you are ready and have read everything in this post, proceed to the post below for actual instructions of your voyage. Now
select a mount below:Note: 1d4 means 1 4-sided dice, which you will need to roll whenever you move. More mechanics will be explained during your journey, but keep this in mind. Therefore 2d4 = 2 4-sided dice, 3d4 = 3 4-sided dice, etc.

Traveling and supplies: - All players start off with the same food supplies. Please
copy and paste the traveling form below into the
bottom of your post whenever you make at traveling post. Your goal is to
cross 150 km of distance without your character's HP OR Food reaching 0.
gaia_crown Traveling means when your character is moving. Traveling is done by rolling the movement dice. You will use your mount's corresponding movement dice. Check to see you have the right terrain. Each dice you roll will cost food for your mount. The goal is to cross each zone to the
very end without running out of supplies. Example: I am on uneven terrain and I have an alpaca mount. I will roll 1d6 to measure my movement.
- If you
lose your mount you must roll 1d4 for the rest of the trip, regardless of terrain, and doing so costs 2 food.
- Traveling is a
solo voyage in your TRAVEL thread. You can interact with characters only in PITSTOP threads AND if you are summoned as a Ally to revive your friend.

DO NOT ROLL MULTIPLE DICE IN THE SAME POST IT MUST BE DONE AND TALLIED IN INDIVIDUAL POSTS gaia_crown Pitstops. Occasionally in your travels you may see helpful camps, small areas to stop at. At these areas you can rest your mount (their temper goes back to their max). You may TRADE with other players supplies. Example: On my journey, I have finally hit 25 km distance. I can now visit the
first pitstop thread, the one marked Pitstop No 1. When my character is ready to go (just by posting in the pitstop, it is assumed your character has "rested", as long as they are not ICly trading with anyone or making allies), they may resume their traveling thread again. You can make
allies at Pitstops only!
gaia_crown Food: You AND your mount require food. If your food reaches 0,
you die. Each time your roll your traveling dice, you must feed your mount the above
food required for that mount. You do not have to feed yourself if you have a mount. If you have no mount, you must feed yourself 2 food points per movement dice you roll. If your food amount hits 0, it is game over for your. Your character dies in this simulated journey. You feel weak and wane, before you fade to nothingness.
gaia_crown Bandages: Your current HP is the HP of your equipped weapon. If your HP hits 0 it is
game over for you, meaning your character died on the journey, and did not make it to the end. They will have
failed the quest. In order to counteract this, you may use bandages. Each bandage you gain will heal you for the attack power of your equipped weapon (or base attack power if you have no weapon). Your character may simply roll for bandages instead of rolling a traveling dice to use it.
gaia_crown Attacking: Sometimes, bandits will attack you! You must defeat them. You simply roll once per challenge with your equipped weapon (or default if no weapon) dice. Any and all abilities may
not be used in this event period. If your attack is greater than the bandit's attack, you defeat them. If it is lower, they do damage to you equal to the difference. Ie: If your attack is 2 and their attack is 10, they do 8 damage to your HP. Ie 2: I roll and do 6 attack, they have 2 attack, I defeat them and move on with no cost to my HP.
gaia_crown Allies: At pitstop ORPs once you reach them, you can make allies by simply prping with them (quote the target) and befriending them. Each ally you make will improve your morale. If your HP OR Food goes to 0 at any point in time, having an ally recruited means you can "call for their help" to your thread by quoting them (or quote multiple). If anyone appears and "revives" your character, you may continue from that point instead of reaching a GAME OVER. You will regain HALF your max HP and food. If you call for help and
noone responds within 2 OOC hours your
character has died.... You feel weak and wane, before you fade to nothingness. Once
that ally has helped you, they
cannot help you again in your journey.
gaia_crown Losing your mount: If you lose your mount, your max supplies/ food remaining is halved. That means if you had 80/200 food, it is now 40/100 food. You must roll 1d4 for the entire remaining trip, and you consume 2 food for having to move without a mount every time you roll.
gaia_crown Death: Once again, the conditions of death are either you have
no HP OR no Food (supplies) remaining. If your character is faced with death, they may post a Death Solo. The last thing they see is someone speaking of
disappointment and failure before they fade away. They will have to wait until
Aug 21st to proceed to the next part (but your character may participate in Arena Battles and update their Heart Logs as well as do Side Tasks even if they have "died" in this trek).
gaia_crown Event Deadline: Event deadline is August 21st at 7:30 pm PST! If you think this is too difficult for you to obtain, try Island 2 instead, which requires a little less time!
