Event: Dragon Hunt 2023 [OPEN]

Dragons: Cave Dragon

Monstrosities: 3 Swamp Mules

Location: The Corrupted Lands, Returning to Kisranna

Weather:

                   A massive storm front has swept across the continent, affecting all lands. This storm front, depending on location, may bring heavy rains, lightning and wind storms, severe tropical storms in coastal areas, and a chance of tornadoes in the plains. Whatever mission you choose, or where you choose to travel, please take caution and bring the proper gear. When it isn’t storming, the weather is quite dark, unseasonably cold, and heavily overcast.

Prompt:



                  The last mission is the most risky and is only for the most experienced teams to attempt! So far, the corruption hasn’t yet invaded Kisarana, but as for our previous homeland…winged patrols have brought back reports that the corruption has consumed most of the land, transforming it into a land of darkness. There are few pockets here and there where the native plant and animal life remain untouched, but a vast majority of the land is blackened and scorched, with pockets of deep purple glowing, undulating corruption creating great rifts in the bare stone. The castle and town have been completely overrun, and are heavily guarded by Vramien’s minions, and it appears that he intends to remain there for the time being. The task Edmund has set forth for this mission carries great risk to both horses and riders, as he is asking you and your team to take wing to our old homeland and attempt two tasks – bring back any information you can about Vramien’s whereabouts, and also bring back a sample of the corruption for the Royal Wizards to study. In order to complete this task, the wizards are providing you with a small, powerfully spelled box to contain the sample. They have used not only their own magicks, but also pieces of arcane shards to hopefully keep the sample contained for transport, but there is still a high risk of infection for your team, so be cautious with the sample, and do not touch it!

Horses:

Back: 1101 WD's Kili

Middle: A993 WD's Merlot on Ice

Foreground: A219 WD'S Callisto *LB*

Potions:

3x Ram: Two on Merlot on Ice, one on Kili

1x Favor of the queen: Callisto

Story:

To say that they didn't want to return to what once was; is an understatement. The corrupted lands were nothing but chaos and fear; the corruption spreading to all places that once held sentimental value to the oldest rider of the regiment. His predecessors were killed in the mass exodus to Kisarana, leaving him with only Calli to lead onto the boat to their new haven. The old mare didn't settle down easily, even when it was time to go back into work. Half of it was simply getting her to relax after being a broodmare for years on end, she was used to being a pasture pony who only wanted her feed and nothing more.

Now, two years later; she was back in fighting form at the age of 20, this hunt was different though. An old friend from the lands ended up in the regimen's good hands, Callisto seemed to have relaxed around him even as he a few years older than she was. Kili, the first public Candy Cane starter was now her tried and true friend. The old stud had never partaken in the yearly hunt and his inexperience was showing; even as the trio made their way off the boat and into the corrupted forests.

The newest edition to the Regiment was Merlot on Ice, a Peafowl Starter mare who was brand new to this world and to the Hunt. She was bucking, rearing, nearly spooking at anything mildly scary as they cantered down the main path to the old castle. The air was thick with the smell of rain, ozone, and- something else.

Alex gave a sigh as he sat on top of Callisto's back, looking up at the desolate and collapsing castle before them. The rain had finally moved in; drenching the three of them in the chill.

"I remember when this was full of life, not this- decrepit excuse for a home; the Regiment was located not far from here but there is no use going back there. There is nothing but old bones and bitter memories." Came his admittance as he ran a calming hand down Callisto's neck, nudging her into another canter. "Be warned, Vramien's men are everywhere here. We need to get what we need and get out, clear?"

"Crystal!" pipped up Maxson as he kicked Merlot into a quick canter, soon following after Alex with a concerned look on his face. "I'm sure I'm not the only one here who is getting the weird sensation that we're being hunted, right?" He tried to keep his voice level as he let his gaze look around the swampy forest that surrounded them. It all felt off, almost like they were riding into a trap.

" No, feels like it. Air's too still, too Quiet." Nate admitted, gripping his spear tighter- Just in case of course. Kili gave a nervous nicker as he threw his head back, ears pinning to his skull; blue eyes wide.

Their lingering peace was broken when a roar pierced the air around them. Alex was the first to look back behind them, blue eyes going wide. A massive bull Cave Dragon had made its way out of its hiding hole- if you could call it that. The massive dragon looked enraged, it's purple gaze mindless as he climbed over a massive boulder like it was nothing.

"Shit!! Move! Move! Got a Bull on our tail." Alex roared, kicking the universe mare into a gallop; a high whinny left her as she galloped over the terrain, heading right towards a bramble of thorns. Their luck was about to turn even worse. As if it could???

The sound of splashing water and cracking twigs alerted them to their next opponent; Swamp Mules; and not just one- no; it had to be three of them. Maxson readied his bow and released three Arrows in succession, making contact with the leader; the creature gave an enraged screech and lunged at Maxson and Merlot.

"Please tell me we picked up Toxicity potions from Edmund?!" He asked, fear creeping into his voice as he readied another arrow.

"Unfortunately, our illustrious leader forgot that part Maxson!"

"You have got to be shitting me!? ALEX!"

"LOOK! I had to charter the damn boat since none of you wanted to use goldening potions to get here!"

"If we get out of this, You and I are going to have words Alex!"

"We will! Trust me on this Mason, now move! We still have to find Vramien's whereabouts, he has to be here somewhere."

"I hate this!"
