At the heart of the celebration is a bonfire: still small as things really kick off, but growing as the nights rage on. It's kindled by salamanders but fueled by kin, taking up adventures into the surrounding swamplands to make sure that everyone continues to have a good time.
You are one of those kin, here to help now and then so that you, too, can join the party.

ADVENTURE PROMPTS: Pick one of the below adventures. Start a new thread in the roleplaying section of this guild, and follow the directions below the spoilers!
Gathering wood:
Your kin decides to help venture out into the swamplands in search of relatively dry wood that they can bring back to keep the bonfire burning hot and strong -- a blaze that can keep the party going for days.
To head out on this adventure: Roll 1d6, and roleplay out your kin finding the item that corresponds to your roll: 1 - Small twigs and items that will be good for spreading and lighting fire. +1 point 2 - Oh no! Wet wood! You can't bring this back. 3 - A small log. You can easily carry it by balancing it on your back, if you go slowly. +2 points 4 - A large log. It is too big to carry back! If you're doing this quest alone, you must abandon it. If you're with someone else, +4 points each! 5 - Oh no! You step into a big puddle on your way back and lose your wood. -1 point 6 - A great leafy branch! You can carry it in your teeth. +4 points
Continue rolling and replying until you have a total of 10 points! Once you have acquired 10 points, please post a link to this adventure in the bonfire guild thread to collect 1 raffle ticket.
Each person must collect 10 points themselves for a ticket
Finding Food:
Your kin decides to find some food to bring back to the bonfire, to feed those hungry others gathered around the blaze. The advice is to stay close enough that the fire never goes out of their sight, but if you choose to venture farther, that's on you!
To head out on this adventure: You must search three times to complete the task, either in the same area or different ones! Pick from the above selections and follow the instructions contained within:
Fruit Grove
Roll 1d4 and match your roll to see what you find! 1 - The trees seem to have gone barren in this particular grove. You find only a solitary apple, dried out. You leave empty handed. 2 - You find a bush heavily laden with blackberries, and manage to break of an arm to carry back for a fruity feast. 3 - The pear trees are in full fruit. You fill your own belly, and then bring back what you can carry. 4 - Pomegranates! They look red and plump, but when you bring them back into the light, it turns out they're infested with worms.
Hunting Grounds
Roll 1d4 and match your roll to see what you find! 1 - You follow some squirrel tracks in soft mud. You don't find the beasts, but you do find their acorns for fall. Yum! 2 - For a moment, this seems to be prime hunting grounds. Then you step into someone else's trap and realize they've already been claimed... 3 - You're fairly certain you hear a lynx's furious growl through the underbrush. Best to steer clear. 4 - Carefully, you set some traps and manage to capture a fat prize. This will be a fine feast!
Down by the Water
Roll 1d4 and match your roll to see what you find! 1 - The water hasn't frozen over yet, and you see fish slithering not too far down. If you're quick, you can catch one! 2 - There are some thick reeds near the waterfront that are sweet and tasty, if a bit stringy. You can bring those back for the feast. 3 - Frogs! You're distracted chasing one that is very brightly colored through the shallow water and forget to search for goodies to bring back. 4 - As you lean in over the water's surface, you see eyes staring back at you. You don't actually see the caiman, but it frightens you enough to run off.
Quiet Clearing
Roll 1d4 and match your roll to see what you find! 1 - You slip on some slick grass and twist an ankle. For the rest of this thread, you'll have a bit of a limp. 2 - The area is heavy with flowers, and you're fairly sure they're edible. They're tasty, anyway! You bring a bundle back with you. 3 - Someone has planted some radishes and gourds in this area. You can either take them, or leave them for whoever put the effort in. 4 - It's dry and quiet and you decide that, instead of scavenging, you'll just take a little nap. You have a brief, disjointed dream.
Continue choosing, rolling, and replying, until you've searched at least 3 times! Once you have searched 3 times, please post a link to this adventure in the bonfire guild thread to collect 1 raffle ticket.
Each person must search 3 times themselves for a ticket
A Bit of Entertainment:
Someone needs to stay near the bonfire and make sure everyone's having a good time, and by golly, that's going to be you. There are all kinds of tasks around to help keep the party running smoothly, so take your pick and have at!
To head out on this adventure: There are no dice! Simply pick one of the following tasks and RP completing it however you'd like.
1 - Someone has to keep an eye on the young'uns and make sure no one gets too close to the fire. Make sure they're healthy and happy however you see fit.
2 - There's a cry among the crowd for someone to sing or dance. You're feeling confident in your abilities -- or confident enough -- that you decide to take up the well-lit space yourself.
3 - All these goodies have been brought back, but what of them? Someone has to prepare them nicely! You cook up or pass out some of the food that has been scavenged for the party.
4 - Did someone say DRINKS? There's a barrel of fermented fruits, far enough from the fire that it won't light up, and you need to dole it out to adventurous kin -- but make sure that no one has too much.
5 - YOUR CHOICE! Make up a scenario yourself related to a problem found around the bonfire that you then solve.
You can do more than one scenerio; this adventure is finished once you have hit 500 words! Once you have hit 500 words, please post a link to this adventure in the bonfire guild thread to collect 1 raffle ticket.
Each person must hit 500 words themselves for a ticket
