Once again, Kari was standing in front of the towering rocks that made up the mountain. She'd been so close to completing her previous quest, only to lose her egg right at the very end. Now she was out an egg and had to find another. Which meant climbing the mountain and hoping that another was available.

"I can't believe I let myself get careless back there," the ghoul grumbled as she started up the path. Falling into the miasma cloud earlier certainly hadn't helped her mood. After losing her last egg, the reaper had been feeling restless and irritated, very unlike her usual self. Was it something to do with the miasma, or was she just losing her patience due to circumstances?

Whatever the reason, she couldn't let it jeopardize her mission to obtain a new egg. The idea of having a companion really appealed to her, so she wanted to do her best to obtain one of those snake eggs. Feeling her determination renew, Kari pulled herself up over the last ledge, bringing her to the summit. Pausing for a moment to catch her breath, she looked out. It was the same scenery that she'd previewed the last time she came up here, but she had to stare in awe of how calming it was to just watch the fog below lazily drift around.

Now wasn't the time for sightseeing, however. She needed to obtain an egg! And just her luck, there happened to be a single egg left in the nest. Picking it up, she pulled off her scarf and wrapped it around the egg.

"Now I just need to get you down," she murmured softly to the egg.

RP Mechanics
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

Just as she began her descent down the mountain, a low rumbling made Kari dive for a small alcove of rocks. Pressing herself inside as far as she could, she cradled the egg as the rumbling grew louder. She paled as a long, scaled body slid next to her hiding spot. It was the snake from before. Had it followed her scent from its nest? This was bad. Really bad. Snakes could sense their prey using their body heat! If it brought its head down to the cowering reaper's level, no amount of darkness would hide her! Holding her breath, even if she knew if wouldn't help any, Kari watched tensely as the giant reptile searched the area. Finally, it seemed to come to the conclusion that its prey was not here and slithered away. Scampering out of the hole, Kari jogged in the other direction, clutching the egg protectively.

This was apparently wasn't any better. A crooning nearby sent Kari behind a rock just before... a baby wyvern appeared. Great. Where there was a baby, a parent was sure to be nearby. Though there hadn't been any sign around the egg, which could rightfully be considered a baby itself. Remembering that she has a pair of Wyverns to watch out for, Kari inched her way around the rock, quietly avoiding the baby while keeping her ears and eyes peeled for a parent.

Having avoided that disaster, Kari was prepared when she came across another beast. Another Zombie Deer. This one wasn't eating a carcass, thankfully, so there was no peril to her gag reflex. But that also meant it wasn't distracted like last time. Tiptoeing lightly through the branches and leaves scattered across the ground, Kari slowly slipped past the deer. As she left the deer's range, she broke out into a run.

"Well... that wasn't too bad," the reaper gasped as she looked down at the clearing where her base camp was. A clearing holding a giant snake. It had found her camp?! Oh well, she couldn't afford to stop in at her camp if the beast was searching for her there. In fact... if the giant snake was here, then maybe that meant nothing was guarding its nest. Turning her back on the camp site, she took the egg towards the location of the giant snake's nest.
