[Q15] Eggstracution (Falair)

[Yayoi]

Quote:

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 [i 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 only need to defeat one to move on (per group!) Every time you or ANYONE in the group rolls double dice (1, 1, 2, 2, etc) you take -2 damage to your egg, otherwise it takes no damage.

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!


Rarity: Rare
Size: 25 feet long (baby snek!)
Weight capacity: 2 people max. (No mount/natural forms it gets skittish)
Special ability: Is excellent at making impromptu bridges and shelter from cold areas. Sheds rainbow-coloured skin that can be used as waterproof wear. Has impeccable memory - as long as it has been to a place, it knows how to get there.
Flying: Cannot fly.
Teleportation: Teleports from Miasma Village to Halloween Town only (and vice versa)
Temper: Extremely shy. Does not go indoors. Only likes large areas. Will escape through any given opening if the area is smaller than it is.

Falair could most certainly sense a theme about this village. One, they liked eggs. Two, they liked sending people to get them eggs. Three, they liked sending people up multiple mounts each higher than the last to get them eggs. And quite frankly the mare was getting kind of put off by this whole mountain climbing venture that got increasingly more difficult.

She just wanted an egg of her own dammit. Enough hoops.

But at the villagers reassurance she gave in. Standing at the base of the mountain she pat the little pouch she had the wyvern egg in. Hopefully it would make it there all right. And she wouldn't be sent hurtling off the mountain side by some snake or crab or lobster.

Those crabs tho...

After quite a bit of a climb, she finally reached her destination. There was a large cave to which she entered. It was dark but she dare not use any light in case something really awful was living in here.

It didn't take her long to find the giant snake coiled about it's nest of eggs. She had to be quiet. It was sleeping for now but who knew what little bit of noise could wake the sleeping serpent.

Slowly she crept. Her breath held as she inched closer and closer until finally she was close enough to slip the wyvern egg into the nest and snatch one of the giant snake eggs.

Quietly and a bit more quickly she made her way out of the cave. Hoping beyond hope that she did not have an angry giant snake slithering after her out of the cave.

Her egg extraction trials were not over just yet though. As she began to make her way back down the mountain a pair of raptor type minis happened upon her.

They looked hungry. But there was no way Falair would allow them to take her egg. She had worked too hard to get it.

As one lept at her she kicked it in the snoot. Sending it reeling back with a shake of it's head.

Egg HP: 10
Raptor HP: 6

It came at her again but this time she dodged it's attack, clutching the egg to her chest as tightly as she could without crushing it.

Egg HP: 10
Raptor HP: 6  

[Yayoi]

"Leave my egg alone!" Falair cried out as she sucker punched the attack raptor in the throat. It fell back on to the ground with a squeal before scrambling back onto it's feet. Giving it's partner in crime a look before they both scurried off rather quickly.

Egg HP: 10
Raptor HP: -1

She was so close. Almost home free. The base camp at the bottom of the mountain came into view. But there was only one problem.

A rather tall waterfall was in her way and Falair could not see any other easy route on how to get down. Glancing down at the egg in her arms, she frowned. She was going to have to jump. Tucking the egg into a pouch for safety, Falair walked to the edge. Glancing down at the swirling pool of water below before she jumped.

Down, down, down she went. It felt like an eternity before she actually hit water. The second she did the mare began to kick her legs to get to the surface. One hand reaching for the surface while the other clutched her pouch tightly. Finally she broke the surface taking in a gulp of air and she swam to the sandy bank. Dragging herself from the water she was soaked from head to toe. And it sucked because it was cold here and everything she had was wet. When she got back she would have to find some kind of fire pit to sit near so she could warm up.

But at least her egg was safe. Taking it from her pouch she gave it a good look over. A large grin of satisfaction on her lips. This was the kind of life she wanted to live. Even if it was treacherous.

Egg HP: 7
