Welcome to Gaia! ::

Greater Mantle of the Wisteria

STEP 2: HERE AND BACK AGAIN

Now, this is an survival rp exercise. The requirement to get a successful artifact is you must post 600 or more words, follow one of each step, and not run out of food. )

- At the start of the quest, each player in your party must roll 5d10 Add up all party member's values. That is the amount of food they carried with them. If your party runs out of food, you will have to head home, it's no good to die out there in the wild... (QUEST FAILED, RETRY AGAIN).

- If your Knight runs out of HP they PASS OUT and are considered OUT of this quest. That means they do not get the award. A group can choose to continue on without him/her or head back and abandon quest to redo.

- If you are doing this with a group, EACH person of the party must roll for each stage once before progressing to the next stage. If there is no post after 8 ooc hours, then you can skip them and they are considered KO'ed.

- Now, all players get one extra reroll. That means if you are solo OR group, and you do not like your roll, you can reroll ONCE. This applies to PER player.

- If you have attempted and FAILED this three times in a row, you may skip all the dysentery rolls meaning, if you roll for that, reroll instantly. This only works for the next expedition you do, and after that resets back to no skips.

- Please make sure ALL party members add this to their ooc post:



gaia_crown [ Step 1: The trek forwards ]
- Your party starts the trek forwards, the path out of Camelot is extremely dangerous and full of rugged, mountainous terrain. Be careful, a single misstep will cause you to loose anything and everything! Each player must now roll 1d4 and match it to the dice results below. Make sure you are rping everything. You can also spend unlimited time just rping back and forth before going to your next dice roll.

Rolling a 1: You accidentally slip, almost fall to your demise off a mountain cliff, and drop some of the food! Roll 1d6 to see how much food you lost.
Rolling a 2: You encounter a wild *animal here* that is extremely rabid and ferocious. It blocks the path and attacks you! You take -10 damage!

Rolling a 6: An old man claiming to be a wizard hands you some food. Thanks, you guess? +10 food.

Koray had been itching for another quest since his last one went so well. He really was looking forward to it. As he walked down the path he mused over the horse. Mortimer. While the coward had run away the young knight really couldn't stay mad at him. After all. He did have that nifty shortcut to take him back home. With a nod he walked into the stables. Made sure Mortimer was there then walked out to fetch his rations. He was on the other side of the hall as he walked out and into the smaller female.

"Ouch! Oh...sorry. You okay?" he asked as he steadied his bags of rations.

Koray blinked. Stared then blinked some more. What...in the world was she asking? Did she want a piece of his tail in the stables? No...that couldn't be it. He'd get a way more obvious sign than that. Did she want his rations? Can't be...WAIT A MINUTE! She was also going on a quest. She had rations. Like him. Was going to the stables. Like him. She must of been mute! He smiled. Well, thankfully he wasn't.

"Did you wanna join me on this Quest? I'd be honored Lady Knight." he gave her a semi-bow.

Koray jumped as he saw the feral gledling. Holy crap!! That was...odd...really odd to him for some reason. They were barely out of the castle paths and half way to the forest...apparantly the thing wasn't done. As it turned to come after Koray and Mortimer next.

"Mortimer! Cut it out with the animal attraction! First bees now this!!!!" he complained. Mortimer glared back as if to challenge the young knight to say that again. Koray blinked remembering the last time. Then cleared his throat. "Fair enough."

Just who was the master here?

Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa. What...in the name of Merlin's beard (he didn't know if the guy had one. This just seemed right for some reason.) was THAT?!? He guided Mortimer to the brush where he saw Ruth's horse take off for...as he came upon her he blinked. "So...that's why your so silent. Interesting. Not too big a deal. Just a tad odd."

As he spoke the young male was eating an apple. Completely impassive Mortimer watched the spider crawl up a nearby tree. Koray didn't notice it till the eight legged being decided it wanted a slice of apple. Koray looked to his side seeing something out the corner of his eye. Then doing a double take...screamed.

Like a 12 year old girl.

Mortimer's eyes went wide as he felt his rider fall half out of the saddle throwing his apple to the winds. A few pieces of bread fell with it. The horse slowly turned his head to look sidelong at his rider as the spider scrambled right back up the thread.

Maybe he shouldn't of commented on Ruth...

-NOPE USING THE FREE RE-ROLL-

The blonde leveled a steely glare at her companion. Or rather he would have seen she leveled a steely glare at him except, you know, she always had her eyes obscured. Maybe it was best he didn't get to see the way she glared at him and his joking suggestion because it would make the smile on her face obviously without humor.

"Yes, please. I'm certain a strapping man such as yourself could manage this load easily." She answered and handed him the remainder of the rations she carried. She did take out a handful of food to eat as they continued because Ruth knew the path to the mountain was far from easy and they would need their strength.

In the end, she managed to arrive.

Ruth gave the man a look of complete and utter disappointment and disapproval. She was so close to success and she had it snatched out of her hands. Well, he was going to have to make it up to her, one way or another!

And she decided that that meant he was going to serve as her pack-mule. She thrust the rations at him before climbing up onto her mount, "Try not to lose these this time around."
