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.

More mountains? With more eggs? This was absolutely absurd. The villagers told her this was the final one, and going up this mountain would give her the final egg she needed to retrieve, but that didn't make her want to do it. Serafina had definitely had her fill of climbing up mountains, retrieving eggs, and then coming back down the mountains with them. Everything that seemed to haunt these mountains was so angry and so willing to try and kill her or the egg. And this time, she would need to bring an egg up with her, too! Apparently she needed the wyvern egg to replace the egg she would find up there. That implied there was something up there waiting for her, didn't it? Serafina gulped as she started her way up the mountain. The trip up was, itself, relatively uneventful, though it was worth noting that she found her way into a concentrated cloud of the fog she had seen so much back at the village. The fog filled her lungs, and she coughed uncomfortably. What was that sensation? She didn't feel any worse once she had gotten out of it, so while she looked back and tried to decipher what the fog was, Serafina ultimately decided that she would instead focus on getting up to the top of the mountain instead.

She was right. There was something waiting for her up there. There it was, another giant snake. She was retrieving a giant snake egg? Did she really want to be doing this? Probably not. She didn't enjoy dealing with giant snakes, as her experiences recently had taught her. Still, she was already up there. It couldn't get any worse, right? That was where she was wrong. Where a lot of ghosts could be fairly quiet, a movement from the snake had terrified her into making a peep. That would be the end of her, as the snake suddenly snatched her up, forcing a dissipation.

Apparently Serafina was very bad at climbing. Shaken up by the fact that she had just been eaten and dissipated, Serafina was not very steady when she climbed up with the egg a second time. Consequently, she shattered it. "Jackdammit!" Now she would have to go get the egg from the wyverns. Again. ... She'd be back though. Perhaps just out of principle this time.

Serafina seriously needed to learn to be more careful. Defeated, after cracking yet another egg, she slumped towards the wyvern mountain.

Perhaps her fourth time up the mountain would be the charm? That was what Serafina was banking on, anyway, as she was growing quite tired of exerting herself--very tired, actually--and she wasn't sure if she could really handle attempting to climb another mountain again and again and again until she was able to make it work for these villagers. She wished they had not have requested her do this so enthusiastically. Maybe she would have been able to actually tell them no. This time, thankfully, she had gotten a little more practiced with how she should hold the egg as she climbed up the mountain. What she had not become more practiced with was actually avoiding the fog that plagued parts of the mountain on the way up. Once again, she found herself going through the fog and coughing at it, but in the end, once again, she didn't exactly feel any different. It was time to plant this egg. She knew she could do it. Right?

Of course she could do this! She was a ghost. A ghost that could levitate as all other ghosts, and blink as some other ghosts, at that. It was her specialty to not be heard by anyone. Her race was the sneakiest of them all, and Serafina should be a prime example of that! Serafina just needed to make sure she was not frightened by giant snakes that were just sleeping near their babies. She could do this. Blinking towards the nest, Serafina never let her feet fully hit the ground. The only time she made any noise at all was when she plunked the wyvern egg into the giant snake nest and took the giant snake egg out, as the eggs were not gifted with the same level of quiet that she was. This was how she spied on creeple! She was an expert! Or, at least, she was good enough to finally get by the snake and head down the mountain with the egg.

Unfortunately for Serafina, the trip down was not quiet. Of course, considering the wyvern mountains and the other mountain she had gone up, this was not particularly a surprise to her. She just knew that she would, unfortunately, have to try and fight the velociraptor off. Serafina knew she was a bit better at fighting than she had thought, though that might have just been something she had gained due to increased abilities and learning at the school versus any actual talent. This would give her a chance to find out, she supposed, how much of her previous luck fighting was just luck or legitimate hard work paying off. Not that she spent much time fighting. Of course, considering how quickly her rounded kick towards the velociraptor seemed to debilitate him, no one observing this match would have realized that. Egg HP: 10/10 Damage: 13 - 6 = 7 Velociraptor HP: 3/10

Serafina was a bit surprised to find that another little kick was all it took to take the velociraptor down. Either the velociraptor was weak or she was much stronger than she thought. That was both encouraging and a little frightening, honestly, so she wouldn't think too hard on it. Egg HP: 10/10 Damage: 10 - 6 = 4 Velociraptor HP: -1/10

Serafina was fairly sure she could make it the rest of the way down the mountain with this, even if she did have to jump down a waterfall. Unlike her previous endeavours, after all, the egg she was holding onto now did not even have any damage. (That was lucky, admittedly, and Serafina was relieved the end was in sight.) She held her breath instinctively, though even as a ghost she did not need such a reflex, kept the egg tight against her body but not too tight, and jumped. Serafina reached the bottom with a splash, and looked at her egg to find that it had absorbed a bit of the impact. Luckily for her, though, the egg still appeared to be fine other than a couple cracks. Perhaps that would just help it hatch a bit faster? She was willing to accept that theory. Besides, she didn't really want to try and retrieve yet another wyvern egg to retrieve yet another one of these eggs. Its condition was good enough, and she was proud of that. Egg HP: 4/10
