A quiet little town with very little troubles... Or so they think. A fae by the name of Isa has come, granted permission by the clan's leader to run a dig site. This promises to bring much wealth to the clan as the group searches for Draceological artifacts for study and display at the great Arcana Academy. Will this bring the wealth the clan is hoping for? Or will the dearly departed rise from their slumber to take back what is rightfully theirs?

This challenge combines the thrilling drama of a lore challenge with the fantastic joy of getting cash from completely disposable fodder. (And I’m sure your fodder will enjoy their harsh and dramatic lives before they get punted to the gods.)

[center] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/oummgrma2dntglw/earthtop.png[/img] [i][size=5]Monday, 16th of Rockbreakers Dearest Memoir, Today marks the official start of the dive deeper into the Cairn. The locals assume we’re running an expedition for the good of dragonkind, and while that may be true, I’m sure to be a rich drake after this endeavor. The current challenge now is to locate capable workers to do the digging for me. The ridgeback foreman I had hired met a very unfortunate fate at the hands of the dead. While I feel sorrow for him and his crew, It appears I have to unfortunately spend more funds acquiring another foreman. I suppose Tik will do it for now. She’s loyal to me and the cause and is gentle with the artifacts. She has 6 new potential employees to train and for her sake at least a few had better meet the cut. ~Isa[/size][/i] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [i][size=5]Monday, 16th of Rockbreakers Greetings, It appears Isa has decided to promote me to foreman of the jobsite. While I’m excited at the opportunity this gives me, I am quite nervous given the untimely demise of the previous dragon and his crew. I wish I knew his name so I could properly give him the respect he deserves at this time. This book was all that was left behind by him but it's strange that while it seems to be a notebook, it was never written in. Maybe he was planning on it when he returned? I suppose I’ll never know. Today I had the challenge of Interviewing a total of six new potential recruits. Only two made the cut - Isa has very specific requirements. Not that i'm sure what they are exactly. I spoke with each of the dragons looking to get a job here while she simply sat in the background. I must be honest, her eye tattoos scare me. There's something about them all that makes me feel like i'm watched for a long time after she’s left the room. Two dragons made the cut this time, an older Coatl named Muriel and a young spiral named Aes. Isa told me she was going to test the crew later. I can only hope that will bring about some positive change and a much needed morale boost. Yours truly, Tik [/size][/i] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/wdlvsy68qu1vyik/earthfull.png[/img] Today's event was Test the Newbies! a 10 sided die must be rolled for each of the lowest levelled dragons... that being from Diesel to Aes. If the die result is higher than their level they are to be exalted. The rest must be raised a level. The rolls resulted as follows: Diesel: Rolled a 2 and is Safe Allspice: Rolled a 2 and is Safe Petrol: Rolled a 10 and is Exalted Anise: Rolled a 10 and is Exalted Muriel: Rolled a 3 and is Safe Aes: Rolled an 8 and is Exalted Diesel, Allspice, and Muriel have achieved LEVEL 7 [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ed14j4hr5jhxspv/earthbottom.png[/img] [/center]
