Are you ready for chaos? Mayhem? No? WELL GOOD. It is time for the FINAL TEST OF YOUR PROOF AS A VILLAGER EGGSTRACTOR.
- On top of the highest hill through the highest mountain peak is the rarest of eggs, the Giant Snake egg. If you bring this home, then you have proven your worth as the greatest eggstractor of them all.
Step 1: Climb the mountain - You're already used to this part. Get going! Climb up that mountain and see what you're made of. Oh wait, right, we forgot to mention. The reason why you need a wyvern egg is you have to replace that egg with the Giant Snake Egg you need to get. That way the parent giant snake doesn't notice!
- As you climb the mountain, roll 1d4. Match your dice roll to the result below.
1: You break your wyvern egg! Sorry, you have to obtain another one.. 2. You manage to climb with relative ease. Something watches you in the distance. 3. You trip and stumble but save your egg! -10 HP for your character 4. You accidentally stumble into a giant cloud of miasma! Add +5 to your miasma meter.
Step 2: Replacing the egg
Finally you reach the base of the mountain with a 400 foot giant snake guarding its pile of eggs in the center. You must slowly sneak and take the Giant Snake egg, replacing it with the wyvern one. Roll 1d100 to see how quiet you were. If you roll 30 or less, you get eaten. You die and dissipate back to base camp. The good news is you still have your wyvern egg (must start quest again). Otherwise, continue onwards.
Step 3: New egg friend and you
At this point you no longer have your wyvern egg. You only have this Giant Snake Egg. So that means if you destroy your giant snake egg on the way back, you have to obtain a new wyvern egg from the previous eggstraction quest. The giant snake egg has 10 HP.
A pair of very hungry velicoraptor-like creatures seem to have found you and follow the egg hungrily! They have 10 HP. You must defeat them using your regular dice roll, but they do -2 damage to your egg each time you hit. You must individually defeat one PER SNAKE EGG before you can move on.
At the very end where the base camp is, there is a giant waterfall. You have no choice, you have to jump down! Roll 1d6 to see how much damage your egg takes. Good luck!
If your egg somehow survives, you have DONE IT. Go ahead and collect your prize and drop it off in this thread!

They had to be kidding him. Had to be. Volt sniped, snarled, and swore, but the facts remained the same: the villagers, curse every last one of them, wanted them to get another egg.
Another, rarer, higher up, egg at that.
Just...lovely. Great. Spectacular.
Volt, after casting one last look at Kalden with a baleful golden eye, led the way this time, though of course Furbrain dogged him every step of the way. Typical meathead.
Still, despite being a fuzzy buff nut, the guy had guts to go with those muscles, and a grin that was infectious. At least so far, he wasn't too terrible to be around.
Skirting known spots for sand crabs, lobsters, and really upset baby wyvern, Volt kept doggedly going up the mountain, making it in surprisingly good time. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that there were eyes on him, and it creeped him out. In reflex, those bone wings clicked and clacked as he extended them, making himself look bigger to anything that might get any ideas.

Dressed in red and black, and with wing-shaped bone protrusions sprouting from his shoulders. Miasma meter 0
Kalden's great, big, ear to ear grin was plastered solidly onto the boil's handsome features. Here he was again with his newest friend and comrade and potential partner in crime....honestly he'd come to enjoy Volt, though the phoenix could be a bit cranky...which was all the more hilarity, to tell true. A true sport, despite his abrasive nature. And he wasn't half bad at egg retrieval either.
Trotting just behind the dark-haired boil (or rather, behind and about three inches into the air), he had no need to prove anything just yet. They both were well aware that they could make it to the top, this mountain no less insurmountable than the last.
There was that little tingling at the nape of his neck that caused hackles to rise, however, and so as they mounted the crest of the peak, he was keeping a wary eye out. "Hope that bruised-snouted bugger isn't hanging around..." He muttered to his companion, "Cuz it feels like something is loiterin'."

As Kalden kept pace with him, Volt felt...well, almost chatty. "Yeah, no kidding." But they continued on without a hitch, and the dark phoenix grew bolder.
As they neared the top of the mountain, however, Volt grinned, his wings flaring. "Ha! I figured that dumb snake was too scared to come back! Head out and run, you sca-"
It was almost comical, really, to listen to the squeaking sound his voice made as he cut off immediately upon hearing a low, rather angry hiss.
"You've...got...to be..."
But he turned slowly, and found himself face to face with the one hundred foot sandsnake. "Uh...nice...sa-"
The snake lunged, jaws open, and Volt didn't even have time to phase. There was a moment of pain in which he couldn't even scream...and then he fell to the ground, whole, aching...and supremely pissed off. With his hair a mess and his wings clutched in tight to his back, Volt groaned and started to roll...
Only to realize that pressed tight against his chest, his arms were aching, but he was still holding his wyvern egg. "YOU BLOODY STUPID SNAKE!" The words were hollered up the mountain in challenge, as the dark phoenix prepared to start the dreadful hike all...over...again..

Kalden had about three seconds to be mortified and appalled as he watched Volt get gobbled up. "HEY NOT COOL, SNAKE! YOU KNOW JACK-DAMNED WELL THAT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT A GUY'S MATES!" And he was jumping towards the disastrously large reptile, claws extended, teeth bared in a snarl....
....and it all happened so quickly that when the jaws snapped tight around him, he dissipated...
only to pop out right back at the base camp roaring his indignance...and he almost stumbled smack-dab into Volt, who had been prepping to make his way up the mountain. The lion's hostile expression then turned into boistrous laughter as he clapped the phoenix on the shoulder in a brotherly fashion. "Oh well that was just brilliant you ready for round two!?"

The clapped hand on his shoulder - and the sudden appearance of his current partner - scared the crap out of the dark phoenix (not that he'd ever admit it.) However, the other boil's attitude brought out something of a madness in Devoltados, and his wings flared out widely as he growled out an affirmative.
"You bet your a** I'm ready for round two! Let's go!"
And with a snarl, he took off running up the mountainside again.
He'd barely made it halfway when his current blind hatred of anything scaley, snake-like, or especially egg-like made him ignore all else...including one teensy, tiny rock in the middle of the path.
Moving at his top speed, Volt's foot managed to find that one little rock...and he tumbled headlong over himself, wings flailing uselessly as the crashed to the ground.
CRACK
He didn't look. He couldn't.
Didn't have to, really.
He could feel the slimy, oozing mess of his wyvern egg on the front of his shirt, soaking against his skin.
If he'd been the type, Volt would have burst into tears. Instead, he merely lay there for a short while, hoping that sand snake would come by and swallow him again.

And in a serious of almost-tragic happenstances, Kalden almost tripped over Volt. "Awww JACK-DAMMIT!" He screeched, pedaling desperately before landing on his back and skidding along the ground...taking a few, breathless moments to collect himself, bruised, battered and definitely smarting.
"Volt hey uh....you ok?" He could tell that the egg wasn't, but the lion wasn't about to ruin the other boil's pride completely by pointing it out. You didn't do that to a guy...unless it was too hilarious to resist. Clambering up onto both paws, he offered a clawed hand to his comrade. "This isn't the greatest adventure, eh? The last one was more fun, crabs and all."
At least this time Kalden was waiting for that giant, bloody snake.

Alas...the snake was also waiting for Kalden. He heard a hiss and pivoted....about a second too late. He saw teeth and a throat and made a most undignified noise...
which was blessedly cut off as he reapparated down to the base camp to slam fists into the ground with a frustrated roar. "AH JACK I HATE THIS DAMN QUEST AND THESE BLOODY SNAKES!!!"
