It turns out there's life under the ice, too. These seven kin are lurking there, waiting for those souls brave enough to drill through the ice and retrieve them. Read on to learn how!
(Please note that kin cannot actually live underwater, and the above is just flavor text.)
In this game, you'll need to drill a hole through the ice and fish through it as you seek your prizes. Be alert, though - fish move quickly, and your ice time can often be limited in a sport as dangerous as this one.
The first stage will be drilling a hole through the ice. To do this, you'll need to roll two dice in the same post and ensure that they are doubles. Any number is fine as long as it's doubles (two of the same number) rolled in the same post!
To drill a larger hole, roll 2d12. For a smaller hole, roll 2d6 - but keep in mind that not all our fish will be able to fit through the smaller hole.
Once you've drilled a hole successfully, you'll need to enter the fishing stage, of course! If you're fishing in a smaller hole (successful doubles on 2d6), you'll fish by rolling 4d12. If you're fishing in a larger hole (successful doubles on 2d12), you'll fish by rolling 4d20.
To successfully catch the atlantic mackerel acha, you must roll (16, 17, 18, 19) in the same post in any order.
To successfully catch the arctic char acha, you must roll (13, 14, 15, 20) in the same post in any order.
To successfully catch the bluegill kimeti, you must roll (3, 4, 5, 5) in the same post in any order.
To successfully catch the arctic comb jelly zikwa, you must roll (3, 6, 8, 10) in the same post in any order.
To successfully catch the lion's mane jelly zikwa, you must roll (2, 4, 6, 7) in the same post in any order.
To successfully catch the silverbrite salmon acha, you must roll (2, 4, 7, 12) in the same post in any order.
To successfully catch the chinook salmon kiokote, you must roll (4, 5, 7, 8) in the same post in any order.
All other rolls do not successfully catch fish.
However, any dice which land on 1 or 11 represent you catching something...quite unrecognizable. You're not sure what it is, but as a resourceful fisher, you're sure you can make use of it later! Please award yourself one chum point for each 1 or 11 which shows up while fishing. Please note that this only applies for valid rolls during the fishing stage - you must have successfully drilled a hole and be rolling the appropriate corresponding dice. If multiple 1s or 11s show up in the same post, you will receive multiple points. Chum points will be accumulated over the course of the entire event - they do not refresh. While rolling, we recommend keeping track of your current cumulative chum point count.
(Note that the atlantic mackerel and arctic char can only be caught in the larger hole; the rest of the fish can be caught in any size hole)
Be quick, though - fish are in constant motion underneath the ice. Once you've attempted to fish ten times from the same hole, the fish will have caught on, and will not bite near your hole. You'll need to start over from step one by drilling another hole.
You may drill three successful holes per day. It is your choice whether they are small holes, large holes, or a mixture, and you may swap between hole sizes if you're not having success. To reduce confusion, please use up all your fishing stage attempts on a certain successfully-drilled hole before moving on - you will not be permitted to re-enter the fishing stage at "old" holes, even if you did not use all ten attempts. Days reset at 11:59PM ET.
To help you keep track of your fishing rolls, we recommend that you use the following form:
[b][mm/dd][/b]
[b]Hole:[/b] [1, 2, or 3]
[b]Roll:[/b] [1-10]
[b]Cumulative chum:[/b]
[b]Hole:[/b] [1, 2, or 3]
[b]Roll:[/b] [1-10]
[b]Cumulative chum:[/b]
Remember:
- You have unlimited rolls to drill a hole per day, but can only count your first three successful rolls.
Once you've drilled a hole, you have ten attempts to fish a prize from that hole before you must return to the drilling stage.
All invalid rolls (determined by looking at the dice only, not your post content) will not be counted.

These kin are first come, first serve based on when the complete form (with links) is posted. Kin will be crossed off if they have been won and confirmed, and you will be quoted with your uncert if you win. You may win a total of one kin from this game. If you have a winning set of rolls, you may keep rolling to see if you win something else instead - however, keep in mind that someone else might claim your win first!

Fishing usually requires patience - but, at the end of the trip, when we really want results, who'll know if we cheat a little by chumming the waters?
Leftover fish (and ocean creature) kin will be given out to players with the most chum points accumulated over the course of the entire event. Players will pick in order of most points until all the prizes have been given out. Players who have already won kin from this event will not be eligible for these kin.
