Beginning Deciding to take a break from your training and lessons, you have wandered off to the sea side. How you travel to the shore is up to your imagination, but when you have finally arrived at your designation it is late afternoon. As you stroll along the sandy shore and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves beating upon the shore, a glimmer inland catches your eye. Looking towards it you see what ever sparkled has vanished into a dark opening in the rocky hillside next to you. As you wander over towards the hill, you can see that while it might be a tight squeeze, you think you can enter into the dark tunnel beyond. Once again, Eowyn's sand had a way of irritating and getting caught under her scales. Kioda rumbled painfully. She refused to scratch at her hide for fear of ripping off scaled that were raised due to the clumping sand. How did Khehora that lived on Eowyn handle the itchiness. Thankfully there was plenty of water everywhere. All she had to do was fly to it. The late afternoon sun shone down on her hide. Too hot for her liking. Perhaps being born a Peisio was a better idea. A real shame she had no control over that. Reaching the shore where the water eagerly lapped at the surface Kioda angled in for a landing. Her wings pulled tightly against her body. Her landing had become smooth compared to when she was a younger Khehora. Prancing along the shore until she was belly deep in the water Kioda rolled about to make sure the water was removing every stubborn grain of sand. Rolling her eyes in a content and lazy motion something glinted at the corner of her eyes. Curious, Kioda checked to make sure she was free of the sandy debris before moving out of the water. Trotting quickly towards the glint Kioda paused shaking her hide to loosen the droplets of water, annoyed at the way the water was already grabbing onto. The strange glint she had seen was disappearing into the what looked like a strange opening. Interested in what would possibly be on the other side Kioda pressed her body into the opening. Curiosity driving her forward, even though fear told her to run away quickly.

Entering As you squeeze into the dark tunnel, you can see a little in front of you. There are small animal tracks in the dirt beneath you. Wiggling your way slowly through the tunnel, you come upon a side tunnel. Both trails have animal tracks, though the path forward seems more traveled. Will you continue forward or turn and go down the side tunnel? Or have you had enough and want to crawl backwards and leave? Once again, please respond to this prompt, what are your character's thoughts and feelings as they travel through this dark cramped tunnel. If you A) go forward, Go to "A: Forward,"B) go down the side tunnel, Go to "B: Side Tunnel" At least the walls weren't getting any smaller. If they did, it would be impossible for Kioda to even attempt to continue forward. Her eyes falling on a strange set of animal tracks. Small ones, unfamiliar but clearly not belonging to any Khehora or Magescian. So it was likely a food source right? The thought made her stomach rumble. Salivating at the thought of hunting Kioda pressed forward. Stopping at the strange fork in the road. One seemed less traveled than the others. Probably meaning there were less surviving creatures that way she could eat. In that case pressing forward was likely to be the better option out of the two paths. Pressing forward the glint she had seen earlier returned. Wiggling towards the light Kioda continued to move forward.

A-Forward Deciding to ignore the side tunnel, you continue on-wards. It seems a long time passes as you crawl forward, hands and knees hurting from the rocky ground and back cramping. Suddenly the dim air lightens; a gleam appears in front of you. As you crawl towards the light..... Please roll a d100! A) 1-10:: you tumble off the cliff edge. The fall will not kill you, but it will hurt! Go to "A1: Fall!". B) 11-100:: you notice the floor suddenly dropping away and stop in time to not fall. Go to "A2:: Aware of Surroundings" The light didn't seem to be getting any brighter the longer she pressed forward. The sound of rocks crumbling down a cavern alerted Kioda to pay more attention to her surroundings. Her claws almost stepping on the next rock as it crumbled away. There was strangely plenty of room now for her wings to extend. Aware of Surroundings While you are engaged in following the light, as you crawl you can feel the ground start to slope. Taking your eyes off the light, you see that in front of you the ground abruptly falls away! Good thing you were paying attention! As you crawl to the edge and look you see a small cavern light up from a hole in the ceiling. Tree roots have forced their way into this cave and opened up a path for light and water. A small pond has formed beneath the opening. In the middle of it you see a tiny island. It is covered in junk; apparently a small creature has been stock piling stolen goods in this cave. Perhaps the sparkle that led you here was that same creature coming to drop off more shiny items. Some rags, broken bottles and broken jewelry appear to make up the majority of the pile. But amidst the pile you can spot something sparkling in the light, it looks different from the rest of it. You can see a tunnel leading into the cavern across from you. What do you do? A) Fly down? Go to "Cavern Room"B) Climb down? Roll a d100, » 50-100: you make it down successfully, Go to "Cavern Room" » 51-100: you slip and fall, but still make it into the cavern. Go to "Cavern Room" C) Go back and try the side tunnel? Go to "Side Tunnel" D) Leave the tunnels and cavern? Go to "Quit" Crawling towards the edge and peeking down. Kioda cocked her head to the side. There was a strangely lit room below her. There was a cavern filled with clean water. Sunlight cast down inside from an opening by trees above. Kicking off of the cliff Kioda dove down towards the water. As she grew closer there was a growing island in the center of the water. "Strange." Kioda muttered as she drew closer, diving head first into the refreshing water.

Cavern Room Looking around at your surroundings you see a small cavern light up from a hole in the ceiling. Tree roots have forced their way into this cave and opened up a path for light and water. A small pond has formed beneath the opening. In the middle of it you see a tiny island. It is covered in junk. Some rags, broken bottles and broken jewelry. Also amid the pile you can spot something sparkling in the light. The only openings that you can leave or enter this room from are from a tunnel that comes out half way up the wall or a tunnel that leads off into the dark again. What do you do? What are your character's thoughts? Do you: A) Approach the pond and its pile? Go to "Loot"B) Leave? Go to "Leaving B" if you wish go out the tunnel halfway up the cavern wall or "Leaving A" if you wish to go out the tunnel in the wall. The strange glint in the pile of the items in the middle drew Kioda's attention. Something seemed oddly different from the rest of the objects there. Kioda paddled forward. Nosing and shifting through the pile.

Loot Approaching the pile, you wade through the cold pond waters. It is not deep and you can see small fish swim away from your noisy intrusion. As you reach the pile, you can see it is mostly rocks and trash gathered by some small creature, but amidst the trash you find an Ayrala and Peisio Dragon Orb! (one for each participant) Now to leave. Go to "Leaving B" if you wish go out the tunnel in the middle of the wall or "Leaving A" if you wish to go out the tunnel in the wall. The pile contained very little items of worth, mostly torn cloth a few backs and burned scrolls. Some strange metal and then, before her shifting eyes Kioda could see something she hadn't expected to find deep within the cavern. Not food, or animals she could eat, but orbs! two of them. An Ayrala and a Peisio orb. Rumbling pleasantly Kioda wasted no time in gathering them up. Two more orbs to add to her already magnificent pile. This will show those who already made the transformation. She wasn't as weak as they were, just because she chose to take her time.

Leaving To get here you must climb or fly to the tunnel. Roll a d100 » 70-100 means you successfully climb to it and may leave this way. » 1-69 means you fail to climb up. You may try again at a 5 point penalty (now 1-74 fails) as you are hurt from your fall. Or you may leave through the other tunnel. Go to "Leaving A". This tunnel is a tight fit, but at least it is lite by the sunlight seeping in through small crevices in the roof and walls. While the ground is rough, you aren't hurt by any sharp rocks as you travel along it. After a long time, you reach another tunnel. Looking down you can see the tracks that you made earlier. Following them out, you squeeze out back onto the surface. The sun is now on the horizon. Wanting to add the orbs immediately to her new collection Kioda spread her wings. Flying back up to where she had first entered the cavern through the small tunnel. Wiggling her body until she was back out of the caves. Pleased with her success Kioda once again took to the skies to add the two new orbs to her large collection.
