Gasping for breath, the tired reaper stared up at the mountain for the third time today. There had to be an easier way to do this. As things were she was going to drop before she actually managed to complete her quest.

Keeping the reward of the snake egg fresh in her mind, Kari once again scaled the mountain. At least it was good exercise, she mused. The reaper had to admit that she'd become a bit lax in her training. As a first year student, she couldn't afford to goof off. She was definitely making up for it now, though. Her muscles ached and her body itched as moisture began beading and rolling down her back under her clothes, leaving an unpleasant sensation of dripping water. Yet Kari did her best to ignore it in her effort to reach the nest holding the snake egg once more. No matter how long it took, she would obtain what she came for.

RP Mechanics
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!

Holding her egg tight to her chest, the ghoul continued up the mountain. How much farther was it? Had it been this long last time? Perhaps it was just the fatigue catching up to her, but she was beginning to lose focus on where she was going. So much so that she didn't notice she'd walked into a miasma cloud until it had already induced her into coughing fits.

Waving the foul air away, Kari pressed on with the need to cough arising every few steps. By the time she managed to reach the nest containing the eggs, her coughing had subsided. she was shocked to find a giant snake sleeping alongside the eggs. Wasn't the one that had been patrolling around the other mountain and her campsite the same snake she'd stolen from previously? It couldn't be, there was no way it could have made it back to the nest before her. It had to be a different one. So this snake had been sleeping here the whole time? Maybe the other one had just been looking for a meal rather than an egg snatcher.

Hopefully, Kari could switch the eggs again. She didn't want to find out what the inside of a giant snake looked like.

Sneaking towards the nest, Kari gently paced one foot over the edge, then the other. She was in! She tiptoed to the nearest egg, placing her Wyvern egg down next to it. Lifting up the snake egg, the reaper paused as an itching sensation in the back of her throat heralded the need to cough. She couldn't! Not here! The giant snake would wake up if she were to make a noise here.

The only thing she could think of was to try clearing her throat instead of coughing. She froze as she snake shifted in its sleep, but thankfully didn't wake. Lifting up the snake egg, Kari crept as quickly and as quietly as she could back to the outside edge. Hefting herself and the egg over the edge, she slid down the side and let out the air she'd subconsciously been holding in. It left her feeling a bit dizzy, but still able to continue. Wrapping the egg in her scarf, she jogged away from the snake and its eggs.

Before she got too far, a pair of velociraptor-esque beasts appeared on the path. It also looked like they had caught her scent.

"Oh no. You can't have it... it's mine!," The reaper shouted, brandishing her staff as they advanced in her direction. There was no way she would give up without a fight! Giving the closest one a good whack on the face, Kari used its confusion the break through and run down the path.

Hearing one of them stumble on the path behind her, Kari rejoiced at her sudden luck and hoped that would put some distance between them.

It seemed her luck couldn't last as one surprised the reaper by jumping on a rock to leap in front of her. A different direction was in order.

Ducking under a branch now that she'd been forced off the path, hearing one of the creatures screech behind her as the branch flew back was all she could ask for.

"You... how can... you... be so... persistent?!" Gasping and panting, Kari continued ducking and dodging through the brush.

*CRACK*

Kari grunted as a branch seemingly came out of nowhere and smacked into her and the egg. Hoping that the damage wasn't too bad, Kari kept running.

Kari was beginning to feel light-headed. She had to lose the beasts soon, or they would get more than just an egg...

"Oh, to jack with it!"

Sliding to a stop, Kari had to admit she was exhausted. If she hadn't lost the beasts by now, she wasn't going to unless she gave them a reason to back down. Setting the egg down behind a rock, Kari took up her staff like a club. If the little buggers wanted a fight, Kari was going to give it to them.

Hearing the sound of light footsteps, the reaper wound back. At the first sight of motion, she swung with all her strength. Hearing another cracking sound, Kari momentarily feared she had broken her staff. It was short-lived, as she realized the raptor's skull had made the cracking sound. Apparently her blow had smashed its skull in.

While she felt bad, it had the effect she hoped for. The second raptor in the pair realized Kari wasn't going to be easy prey. Kari slumped to the ground the moment it left her sight, leaving the other lying in a heap as blood began pouring from its mouth. Pulling the egg closer, she let herself take a hard-earned break.

Kari didn't feel ready for this. The last time she'd tried going down the waterfall, her egg hadn't survived. There was no way around it, though. She had to jump.

Closing her eyes and hugging the egg close to her, the ghoul took a deep breath and jumped out as far as possible. Feeling only a bit of water at her back, she knew she'd gotten farther than last time... would that be enough?

Plummeting into the water, surfacing, then dragging herself and her egg onto the bank, Kari immediately checked the egg...

It was safe. She'd managed to get it down without breaking it this time! She had succeeded. Letting out a holler, she laid back on the bank, gasping and cheering.

Egg HP: 6
