Falair wasn't big on mountain climbing. Especially one that was super rocky and had snow here and there. Give her sand dunes. She couldn't understand why these villagers liked to live in such a cold place.
But honestly, Halloween town was just a bit too cold for her preferences. Living at the tower now she could just bury herself in some sand and no one would question her.
Well, she would probably get some questioning looks every now and again.
At least she wasn't going to make this mountain trek to get these damn eggs by herself. Plus, maybe she could sneak one or two away with her once she was done. Breeding wyverns sounded like fun.
Turning to Na'ima she grinned. "I bet I can get to the eggs before you can."

Mechanics Yo
- It seems as if the villagers now want you to collect some eggs. Some untainted, un-miasma fused precious wyvern eggs from an exotic wyvern couple that sadly passed away. You must scale a very high mountain in order to get these eggs.
- Your character is dropped off at the base of the mountain. The goal is to climb the mountain and get the egg. To scale the mountain, you must write a jaunty 250 word post of your character scaling the mountain. You can do this as you please, there are plenty of angry nesting minipets, boulders, and possibly giant serpents blocking your way. As you reach the top, obtain the egg, and you are ready to begin your descent.
- Every single creature possible, especially rolling sand lobsters, will try to destroy your egg. Roll 1d4 four times and match your dice roll to the prompt below to reach the bottom of the mountain. Yes, repeats do happen if you roll a repeat. Your egg has 10 HP. If you make it down without the egg reaching 0 HP (breaking) you made it!
1) A sand lobster rolls right into your egg and nearly breaks it! -2 HP 2) Strange velociraptor minipets are hungrily staring at your egg. They try to attack it! -1 HP 3) A giant snake smacks you with its giant tail. Ouch! -3 HP 4) Nothing happens. You were lucky!
If you successfully get an egg to safety, you get herbivore egg. It is considered a quest item. Add it to your quest item list

Na'ima cast a sidelong glance toward her sister, her smirk evident in her eyes even with the veil covering her mouth. Her brow arched, a delicate hand coming around to tug lightly on one of her other veils to pull it partly over her shoulder and face. "Is that a challenge little sister?" She chuckled and looked up toward the mountain top.
"Shall we make a wager, then? We will make a game of it."

"Of course it is." Her grin grew wider.
Falair tapped a finger against her chin. "What shall we wager then? And what are the rules?" Even if there were rules she would have to keep an eye on Na'ima. Her big sister could be sneaky. But in the same vein Falair could be sneaky as well.

Na'ima hummed, her finger tapping against her cheek. "We cannot send each other rolling back down the mountain, though we may hinder each other as much as we would like. We do need to get to the eggs, after all." What other rules would they need? She looked to her sister, thinking carefully. If Falair had any rules to add she was more than welcome.
"We shall trade favors. A single favor that may be called upon at any time whether the other likes it or not. How does that sound?"

There were no other rules Falair could see to add. "True enough. We can't be playing all day on the mountain. Plus I would like one of those eggs for myself before something eats them."
That wager was pretty open ended but she gave an agreeable nod. "Alright. Prepare to owe me a favor then."

((1 IS NA'IMA 2 IS FALAIR WINNER TAKE AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL))
Na'ima simply smiled, a smug smile that reached her exposed eyes. Falair was absolutely adorable sometimes. She said nothing to Falair's challenging remark, simply turned to the mountain and began to climb it. The problem was that Na'ima was a creature of relaxation, of stress-free environments and activities. She wasn't a mare who enjoyed scaling up mountainsides. She could at least hope that her sister would tire herself out or something to that effect.
How far up were these eggs? Why did it have to be these eggs? Why were they so special? Perhaps Falair had the right idea, she would need to keep an egg or two for herself as well. This would be fun. And by fun she meant she would rather go on a five mile jog through the desert than climb this damn mountain.
There were times where she had to stop and take a quick breather, not entirely fond of this situation at all. She was not looking forward to owing her sister a favor simply out of spite. She looked around, spotting Falair not far off from her. How to distract her without knocking her down? Na'ima shook her head. No, no. She wouldn't sabotage her sister this time. Another time. She still had something cooking to repay her for teasing her during her visit in Halloween. Oh, it was coming.
Finally it came to be a great relief to her when she made it to the nest. Na'ima sat on her hands and knees for a few long moments, panting for breath and taking the time to recover before she stood again, brushing dirt off her. She paused, eyeing the borrowed leather bracers she was still wearing. The corner of her mouth twitched in a gentle smile as she admired them, her fingers tracing along one of them until she remembered where she was.
And she was alone.
"Falair..?" She turned and looked down where she had come from. Her smile became a grin as she leaned forward, her hands on her knees. "Ah, little sister, it would seem it is you who owes me a favor."

It would seem that the fates were poised against her this day. Or perhaps it was just that she had been so sure of herself to win. Falair did know Na'ima's habits and would have figured her sister to be more slow moving than she was.
But it was the mountain that was against her as well.
As she scaled the mountain, Falair worked to get good hand and foot holds. But each time she thought she was secure rocks and dirt would crumble away causing her to slid back down the mountain with a grumble and perhaps a few curse words along the way.
The path she had chose seemed to be wrong. Which was a constant thing in her life. Wrong paths. Sliding backwards. Perhaps it was a sign. A real serious sign. Or else she just miscalculated this mountain's stability.
She could hear her sister's voice now. Apparently Na'ima had indeed reached the nest before her. But by this time she was just happy to get up the mountain. Huffing and puffing a little as she reached her sister, Falair knelt on her knees. Head hanging just a bit in defeat. "So it seems. But it better be a serious favor nothing silly." The young mare could only imagine the type of embarrassing favors her older sister would ask of her.
After regaining her breath she stood. Brushing off her pants and made her way towards the nest. Eyes fixated on on the eggs that sat within. Reaching out slender fingers to run them along their smooth surface with appreciation. They were lovely. "Now that we're here I guess its time to go back with these." Hopefully the struggle to get back down the mountain would be less arduous than climbing it. Of course, one could only imagine what might be in store for them. Any number of creature would love to make these eggs their meal for sure.

"Next time, dearest sister." Na'ima chuckled. She walked over to rub her back, comforting her while she regained her composure. "Are you all right?" It was genuine concern, she didn't want her sister hurt. They both had to get back down the mountain and Na'ima wasn't entirely certain if she had the strength to carry her down after having just climbed up it.
When Falair was on her feet she nodded and began collecting eggs, putting one of them in the pouch at her hip with great care before carrying the rest in her arms. "Ready to go?"
She waited for Falair first before even thinking of taking a step to head back down the side of the mountain. All was well so far...

"Next time of course." There certainly would be a next time the mare was sure of it. And she really wasn't all that sour about loosing to her sister. It was a common thing to wind up with egg on her face. No pun or prophetic thoughts intended.
She gave a nod to reassure her sister's concern. Falair wasn't going to let any mountain beat her. Unless this mountain decided to come alive all of a sudden which who knows it just might happen.
It wouldn't be all that odd to her really. This place was just weird.
Gathering a few eggs, she slipped them into the larger of her bags that hung on her hip before turning to her sister with grin. "I guess we shouldn't race back down the mountain or we might break an egg. Darn." She snapped her fingers with a laugh.
Without another word she slowly began to make her way down the mountain side. Glancing behind her ever now and again to make sure her sister was doing alright with the decent. Nothing completely horrible happened yet.

Na'ima laughed and nodded, waiting for Falair to catch up to her before she continued on. She tried her best to keep the lead; that way if anything were to come up ahead of them it was her who took the brunt of it and not her sister.
She crept carefully down the mountainside, keeping the eggs in the crook of one arm so the other one was free to grab whatever she needed to grab just in case. Which apparently became a good decision when a snake suddenly came out of nowhere and lashed at her ankle, causing her to stumble and instinctively squeeze one of her arms. Unfortunately it was the arm with the eggs and she gasped, quickly relaxing before she could break the eggs.

She was about to call out to Na'ima to ask if she were ok when a small group of strange velociraptor beasties jumped out from behind a rock. Startling Falair for a second, she knocked the pouch carrying her eggs into the corner of a nearby boulder.
As the lept at her, obviously smelling the eggs she was carrying, she picked up a rock and threw it at them. Scattering the group of hungry minis for now.

Na'ima was able to recover from her little fall when she heard commotion near her. She looked to Falair, eyes widening. "Be carefu--" and then the minis were coming her way, angry at her sister for having thrown a rock at them. They slashed at her, nicking one of the eggs until she uncorked a vial from her bag and threw it at them.
They shrieked and fled, tiny arms flailing and reaching for their faces.
