gaia_star [ Quest 15: ] EGGSTRATION: THE FINALE Requirement: Every person in the party attempting this must have a wyvern egg.
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.

By this time, Alette was very distraught about having to climb yet another mountain and was wondering if it was possible to maybe avoid such a fate. Sadly, it seemed like there was no getting around it - she'd tried asking if she could crawl under the mountain, but the pointed stares she was getting unfortunately indicated otherwise.
At least there was someone else here to share the trouble with. Alette all but bounded over to him.
"HI!" she said brightly, giving his side a poke with her elbow. "I'm Alette, who are you? Are you gonna climb with me, it's like, super high, but it's totally better when there's more than one person, right? You can keep me company and I can keep you company!"
With two egg deliveries under his belt (and an egg literally dragging his pants down because someone thought it was a good idea to keep the wyvern egg in his pants), Merope was ready for the final challenge.
He was not, however, ready for the hyper ghost girl. "Ah! Hey! Not there!" Merope recoiled, hastily scrambling at the hem of his pants to prevent his egg from falling out.
Merope realized the sort of position he was in, and swiftly removed the egg from his giant back pocket no he wasn't carrying it elsewhere in his pants and clutched it. "Um! Hey! Good luck! Maybe you could... return when you have... another...?" He winced, looking at the shattered remains of Alette's egg.
And then he broke his too.

Sadly, it seemed like Alette and Merope were on the same level of eggciting egg deliveries.
(She was still sparkling at him.)
It took her another several minutes to get another egg, after which Alette was holding it so tightly she was afraid she might run into someone and crack it. She gave the boil a curious look, her eyes traveling down to his pants, eyebrows raising.
"Carrying it in your pants is very silly," Alette informed him not that she was in any way better than this because she dropped it yet again.
"But I took it out of my pants!" Merope protested quite loudly. "See?!" For emphasis, he held the egg up above his head and waved it around. It wasn't a very smart idea but he did it anyway.
Except he did it with too much force and ended up stumbling. The rest of his body followed, and somehow Merope managed to contort in fun shapes on his way down to the ground. When he finished landing, he picked himself and his egg up. He had several new cuts, but he held his untouched egg aloft triumphantly. "Bam!"
Merope's HP: 30/40

Alette finally came back with another egg, only to find her new egg buddy in less-than stellar shape.
"Uh," she said, squinting at him. "Are you, uh - okay?"
Or, at least, she'd meant to ask him if he was okay. The end of her sentence was rather muffled as she gave a little squeal and a squawk as she walked unceremoniously into a hazy purple cloud. Alette came out on the other side, swiping at her face.
"I just want to get this doooone with," she moaned. "Think it'll be easier getting up to the top now?"
Merope puffed himself up. "I'm the very definition of okay!" He announced, "And I'm pretty sure this place has a graveyard or two that I can do some shopping around in, just in case I lose anything. But, uh, er." Merope verbally fumbled, "What about you? That purple stuff didn't look too... great..."
He trailed off, his voice becoming a whisper as they timeskipped drew near a 400 foot snake that was guarding a pile of eggs. Merope glanced at Alette, then back again, then stopped as soon as he realized that signaling with one eye was ridiculous.
Alette just gave Merope a look as though to say uh huh, I'm sure you're about as okay as that egg over there.
She wrinkled her nose. "I think I'm okay," Alette said, examining her arms and legs, just in case anything had happened to them because that would be very bad. "I mean, I think I'm doing just fine, it didn't like, hurt or anything, just sorta felt funny."
She kind of got the signal. Kind of. But it was less clear once she could no longer actually see Merope, considering he'd been...eaten...
"MY EGG BUDDY!" was what she would have shrieked, except Alette was still trying to be quiet, so instead it just sort of came out as a strangled whisper. And thankfully, she managed to swap out the egg before the same fate happened.
Alette kind of wanted to lay on the ground and wait to see if her egg buddy was all right, but there were things attacking her and she was going to die.
The large sand whale slid to a slow stop, allowing Merope to disembark from it. The undead boil waved to the very nice and considerate creature before hefting his egg up and trying to carry it up the mountain once again.
Except Merope failed utterly once again to walk properly, and took a fall as a result. Ouch! At least the egg made it through all right.
"HEYYYYY!" Merope shouted again, waggling the serpent's egg above his head. "Look! I finally got one too! Hey! Ghost! Are you looking? Heeeey! I went through a lot to get this!" And he also broke a lot of wyvern eggs but he's not going to say that. Not if his possible adoptive parents are watching, nevermind that they flew away and left him here.
Merope ran down the slopes towards Alette, however he tripped and fell and came tumbling down towards her. He bounced down, down, down until he landed flat on the raptor. Then he bounced off of that too.
