- It seems as if the villagers now want you to collect some more eggs. Those eggs are really delicious you know, and surprisingly enough, get you into the good graces of the villagers quite fast.
- Your character is dropped off at the base of an even taller mountain The goal is to climb the mountain and get the egg. RP climbing it appropriately
- As you near the egg, whatever is following you will try to eat it. Roll 1d6 to see what it is.
1. A sand crab minipet 2. A 100 foot giant snake 3. A baby wyvern 4. A zombie deer minipet 5. A sand whale (estimated 400 feet) 6. A rolling sand lobster minipet
If by any chance a sand whale is the culprit, it automatically eats the egg and you have to try again. Otherwise, rp gathering the egg.
- Now you must carry the egg down the cliffside of the mountain. Roll 1d6 again and see what is trying to push you off the cliff aggressively.
1. A sand crab minipet 2. A 100 foot giant snake 3. A baby wyvern 4. A zombie deer minipet 5. A sand whale (estimated 400 feet) 6. A rolling sand lobster minipet
If the result is a sand lobster, you drop the egg, and have to try again.
- You finally pass the cliffs into the forest region of the mountain. Roll 1d5 to see what tries to block your way.
1. A sand crab minipet 2. A 100 foot giant snake 3. A baby wyvern 4. A zombie deer minipet 5. A sand whale (estimated 400 feet) 6. A rolling sand lobster minipet
If the result is a 100 foot giant snake, it squishes you and you have to try again.
Finally, you make you way past all of that and you get to the base camp. Oh wait, something is waiting for you at base camp! Roll 1d6 again:
1. A sand crab minipet 2. A 100 foot giant snake 3. A baby wyvern 4. A zombie deer minipet 5. A sand whale (estimated 400 feet) 6. A rolling sand lobster minipet
If a baby wyvern shows up, very mean adult wyverns land, reprimand you, and then extract the egg from you before flying away. You don't get an egg. Otherwise, success!
gaia_star If you successfully get an egg to safety, you get wyvern egg. It is considered a quest item. Add it to your quest item list
More eggs. Shun slowly shook his head as he listened to the villager's request. Fine. Fine. With a glance towards Lock, he motioned him to follow, then set off in search for another giant egg of sorts. Didn't these people have other things to eat? Did they really need these eggs?
Shaking his head to himself, he looked up at the even larger mountain that was before them. Well. Time to get moving. It took some time scaling the cliff face, but he did eventually reach the nest.
"Over here."
Something soon pounced out at the egg. A small crab of sorts. The Reaper let out a grunt before kicking it aside and hefting up his oversized egg.

Lock also thought the increased amount of eggs was unusual. Perhaps the village was planning something more nefarious with them?
Whatever the reason, he also kicked some small crabs aside. He was ready to roll. "It's a different nest this time," he commented idly. Just something to note.

It began to rain.
It didn't start off with a gentle pitter-patter of scattered raindrops. One moment the dark sky was churning, the next moment the area became drenched in a sudden downpour. No thunder boomed overhead; the only sound aside from the hissing rain was the soft whisper of the wind.
A whisper which grew into a howling shriek as the fog grew thicker, and it arrived.
Of course it would be a dragon. In stories it was always a dragon of some sort, wasn't it? This particular dragon is large and gray like the fog surrounding Misama Village. The rain doesn't seem to fall on it. Rather it falls in an area around it, as if it warded off the rain through the sheer force of its will.
The dragon throws back its head and unleashes a roar loud enough to stop the rain for one, two, heartbeats. The roar fades, and the rain resumes with a greater vengeance. You will not be able to complete this quest while this encounter is active.

Shun paused as it began to rain heavily. He furrowed his brow and looked up towards the sky, then recalled what Red had said about the oncoming storm. Was this it? In which case... what exactly was causing it? The answer soon became alarmingly clear. Before he could even suggest to find cover in the meantime, it appeared.
The large dragon had shown up, and given the way the rain unnaturally moved around the large beast, it wasn't hard to guess just why Red had also said the storm wasn't normal. As the dragon flew down towards them, he dove to the side, rolling before calling out his daggers. A quick glance was shot towards Lock. His mentee should know what to do.
They had a fight on their hands.
Once the dragon landed on the ledge, he ran by and sliced into its hind heel, while looking around for a better opening. HP: 55 KD: 297

In an odd way, Lock was almost relieved when the monster landed. It had been almost too quiet going about their business; no Medea raining down death from the sky, no crazy visions of knights from the past. This miasma village was definitely suspicious, but it needed a little shaking to reveal the real threat.
Shun immediately dove in, but Lock was the more reserved one of the two. He needed space to cast his shadows, needed time to use Voodoo as a conduit for his binding and damage.
Lock just hoped there weren't any goddamn konchu rock lobsters there to roll into him and disturb his focus.
He summoned Voodoo, working seamlessly with Shun to create a field of havoc for the dragon. The rain and wind was frustrating, but it almost felt like they were just running yet another of their many, many drills together. Perhaps Shun's regime for Lock's training was starting to pay off. He just wished he had Estel here to yell encouraging things like she always did. It was hard to feel brave when a giant monster was roaring in your face.
The roar was stunning, but eventually Lock got some of his shadows wrapped around one of the Kushala's front legs. He yanked, bringing the monster closer to Shun for the stabbing.
Lock made note of a small series of ledges nearby. He wasn't going to suggest higher ground yet, but it was good to know they had it if they needed it.

Shun circled around, still trying to find an ideal place to strike. From his one slice earlier, he could tell that this dragon's scales were rather hard. Still, the toughest armors have their weaknesses. It was just a matter of finding it.
"Lock. Keep an eye out for any openings," he called out behind him. The Reaper thought he saw one, but the Kushala suddenly buffed its wings, knocking him back before he could do anything substantial.
"That is how it is going to be, I see..." he muttered under his breath. Moving back, he took a quick survey of the terrain. He needed to get in close with his weapons in particular, which may be a bit difficult. Unless...

The Kushala reared back on its legs and blasted a whirlwind at Lock, knocking him back and sending him flailing for a short period of time. Interestingly, the monster didn't really seem to be going fully aggressive, more just trying to keep them away. Perhaps part of the plan?
"Alright," he called to Shun, taking the older reaper's command seriously. Openings ... there weren't many, honestly. The creature hung low to the ground, and Lock couldn't see how they were going to get a solid hit on it unless it stopped moving around. Quick little jacker.
He ripped across the dragon with another round of shadow darts. Except it seemed his luck was up- now the dragon turned it's attentions towards him, and he was jammed in a corner with a bunch of rocks. Jack.
Lock threw up a a small shield, nothing really defensible, more as an action to get Shun's attention, like a flag. "The ledge- try getting it from above. I'll run diversion."

Shun crouched down, watching the large dragon's movements. The fog seemed to be growing thicker in the area, or maybe that was just his imagination. It also felt like he had a deep chill within his bones after being struck with the Kushala's winds. For now, he tried to ignored it, and just focused on the prime threat that was at hand. Though, he felt a little sluggish. It was harder to move.
Gritting his teeth, he darted forward and whirled his body in attempt to slice away at the dragon's feet with a spin-slash. The creature had suddenly jumped into the air at that point, though, causing his blades to miss completely. He looked up just in time for the beast to bowl him over as it flew right into him.
A loud grunt escaped him as he hit the ground hard. Shutting his good eye, he rolled over and pushed himself back up to his feet. When Lock mentioned the ledge, he looked up and started to climb his way up.

Lock was admittedly impressed with Shun's theatrics, but it was easy to see that his normal mode of slashy stabby stab wasn't going to work on something this large.
He watched Shun begin his ascent, and since he had offered it meant it was time to play diversion. It was good at least, since Lock had already stored up quite a bit of shadows and was prepared to throw his all at the beast. It meant buying Shun some time.
"Any time, old man~" he taunted, dodging by another of the beast's wind blasts.

Shun continued to climb on up the ledge. While Lock was distracting the dragon, its tail thrashed against the cliff face he was on, nearly causing him to drop back down. He reached for one of his knives and threw it, aiming for the Kushala's eye. Unfortunately, he couldn't quite hit his mark. The blade ended up bouncing harmlessly off of some of the dragon's facial scales instead.
"Tsk.."
This was just embarassing. He was the mentor here, and he wasn't exactly setting a good example in this fight. Perhaps Lock should find someone else... The Reaper gritted his teeth at the thought as this and other similar ones began to bubble up into his mind, clouding his head.
Once he was up on the ledge, he called his blades back to his hands. The kushala was too far for him to be able to do much just yet.
Useless.
He could practically hear his father scorning him. A faint whisper in the wind.

If Shun was doing badly, Lock didn't really have the focus to notice. He was a little busy running around the area trying not to get trampled. He was ranged, dammit!
(Yes he could fight close combat and was getting better at it, but he still preferred to be a good distance away).
He only got a single glance in to see that Shun was properly positioned. Lock was feeling forward, aggressive. But what if he moved and Shun didn't jump? What if Shun was leaving him to die? He took a step away from the ledge ...
He shook his head. That was stupid. They'd been through plenty of chances for Shun to kill his mentee. They were friends, and they were in this together. Where the hell had that thought come from?
Lock moved to the ledge and made Voodoo herd the dragon towards the end. C'mon Shun, be a badass ...

The dragon flew on up towards Shun now. He was ready to launch an assault, but the sudden beast getting in his face caused him to be knocked back and away. He scrambled to his feet and lashed out at what he could, feeling one blade barely connect with a part of the dragon's body. Before he could do much else, the Kushala had blown him further back with a small whirlwind, then dove back down towards Lock.
"Dammit!" he cursed while getting back to his feet. He didn't understand why he was struggling so much against it. It was starting to frustrate him. How the hell was he supposed to be able to train others in combat, when he was juggled around like a rag doll by one beast? Shun shook his head, trying to rid himself of such thoughts.
"Lock. Watch it. It is headed back your way," he warned before looking around. He needed to find a way to strike, and fast. HP: 35 KD: 269

"Jack," Lock cursed under his breath. Well mounting was out of the question, at least for now. Shun had lost his opportunity. Oh well, they couldn't mourn what wasn't happening for now. They were bound to have bad fights.
Shun's warning came too late, as the dragon seemed to cross the clearing in a matter of seconds (what the jack how did it move so fast what what-) and Lock was barreled over by the dragon. Once again he went flailing and was without the ability to attack. This was frustrating as hell and he wanted Shun to take his bad luck back.
He just hoped the distraction was enough for Shun to get in some stabs.

Making his way back to the edge, Shun saw that his warning had come moments too late.
"Kuso..." he hissed under his breath before looking around. The dragon was kind of far now, but he had a plan, at least. It would be difficult, considering its distance, and the fact that the damn thing wouldn't stop moving. Would he even be able to make it, given his track record thus far against this creature? The winds were whispering 'no'. But that didn't matter so much now. He needed to move onto the offensive fast.
The worse case scenario would be if the dragon ended up eating Lock.
Hopefully there were pumpkin patches on this island, or some sort of equivalent. In which case, he would get his mentee killed. Not the most pleasant thought.
The Reaper took several steps away from the ledge, then rushed back forth. He leaped forth, then shadowstepped further ahead to extend his jump. Somehow, he had just barely managed to get onto the Kushala's back, sinking his daggers into is body as he landed. HP: 30 KD: 263
