[center][size=5][font=arial][b][color=#808e73]The Last Candle Lit[/b][/size] [font=arial][b][color=#808e73]...a puzzling fodderlocke... Arietis is a vault hunter, skimming through treasured remnants left by the gods. Treasures that are meant for devoted followers, not scavengers like Arietis and her ragtag band. They are out in the wilds to flip some pots over some unsuspecting merchants and uncover mountainous piles of gold in crumbling ruins. It's a good business for Arietis and her group, the vaults are well documented, deserted, and full of riches that can be sold to the right market -- for the right price... However, life as a vault hunter isn't easy, and this band doesn't always agree on what to do or where to go. The band has also angered what's left of the gods and they've sent the last remaining devoted followers they have to track down Arietis and to bring her to justice. [i]And so, the plot thickens[/i]. ----- [font=arial][b][color=#808e73]hello and welcome to my first fodderlocke! :> this was inspired by @/Swageus's [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3015404#post_3015404]Godhead[/url]. i'm mostly following the rules of @/squiddragon's [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2806527#post_2806527]fodderlocke[/url] rules with a few of my own thrown in! i have my own dice that i'll be rolling [s]and cringing at my own inability to roll them[/s] so it's on an honour system, like everything lol. i'm trying to do this once a day, except for weekends, to get back into flight rising and to push me to do lore again. ----- [font=arial][b][color=#808e73]our leader, Arietis, and her small group of vault hunters; Ajani, Voriksha, Mojave and Gyrix!

Modifications || Just a few more things to make the fodderlocke even more amusing...maybe...

Gene: Good luck! They’ve blessed you with excellent loot. Put an apparel item of choice on each to mark as given a second chance. If you would exalt them, instead remove the apparel. They have managed to scrape by.

Egg: Oh nice, think of how many hatchlings you can buy if you sell One egg. Pick up the three cheapest hatchlings on the AH. Level them to 5 when they come of age.

Rally: The current party is motivated! If they would have to roll as to whether or not they'll get exalted at the end of this coli event, they automatically succeed and return safely to your lair.

Ambush: Randomly choose one of the dragons in the current coli party. They flee and get the heck out. Immediately refresh, remove them, and replace them with another random dragon.

lv 10: Roll a d10. Whatever number is rolled that dragon gets a lore snippet! What their personality? Their hobbies? Do they hold grudges? Just write something to flesh them out a bit!

lv 12: One of your dragons found a neat gadget on their trip! Equip a piece of apparel to them! It can be anything, like a; hat, necklace, earring(s), or a blouse. Slap some clothing on that bad boi, they've earned it!

lv 15: Oh no! This dragon now wants a raise in their pay! They now are a permanent member of this team, like it or not! You can also exalt them out of spite, later on.

Papers littered the floor, bedrolls were left behind in a half-moon around a charcoal pit. Eyeing the papers, Mir picked one up, it seemed to be a note torn out of an old journal. The quickly scribbled note reads; [i]"One of the recruits fell into a trap today, which is unfortunate, but the hunting party is coming so time is of the essence. At least one made it, new blood for a new vault..."[/i] He scoffed, 'they were right to move', Mir thought, he would follow them to the end of time. The gods commanded that of him after all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/PFLaSmv.png[/img] [font=arial][b][color=#808e73]Standing in a large doorway, Areitis looked at her group, the low, hazy lighting concealing her worried look. They had lost their navigation expert to a pit trap in the last vault, and the treasures they had found weren't enough to cover their cost to stay at a tavern until she got another recruit. Looking over her shoulder, she signalled the tavern's owner for three rooms, before heading up the stairs. Areitis and her fellow vault hunters were fairly common in this tavern, so the same three rooms were reserved for the group. They used the two outer rooms as sleeping courters and the middle as a War Room -- a useful tactic for avoiding most eavesdropping -- which was a common practice for vault hunters. Sighing as Areitis entered the War Room, she opened the last map and set it on the table, a notepad with some rules on it, along with some dice. Picking up a d10, Aeitis rolled it. ...It landed on an 11... Rolling her eyes, she rolled the dice again, hoping for a better option than dealing with a major heist. ...It landed on a 10... Finding this an acceptable roll, Areitis got up to go tell Mojave and the other recruit about their bad luck of doing tasks for the tavern.
