Dandelion Hill retained its serenity in the aftermath, though a scar as great as the one draped across the Giant's chest is yet to have healed. A scar that like any over was rarely looked upon and never, ever questioned.

A tired soldier treads in the dark one night, coursing for that last taste of war as the final coat of polish to a heavy heart of stone. It is by chance Ravenflight is passing the hill, and something pulled at her that lead her eyes to a dim shaft of light softly pulsing from within the crater. The empty quills on the back of her head bristle as she lowers her horns toward it by instinct, creeping closer until she can peer over the edge.

There, half embedded into clay and tangled roots, is a name. Elated by her discovery, she smiles broadly and looks around, calling for anyone who cared to hear her...

Velocity's creatures will surface hidden in a blanket of fog, and once they arrive they will descend onto Dandelion Hill and stop at nothing in fulfilling their task. They wish to rip Iaurdagnire's name from the forest floor, but will you let them take it?



Your task is to protect the Dandelion that holds onto Dag's pictogram from the creatures Velocity has sent to steal it. Dag has faced them once before, and this old plotline contains the only description of them. They are not deer and are carnivorous, and you can picture them as canine, feline, or something else entirely. This is very much a war-game, and you can either battle them in forest or do something creative yourself (writing/drawing) depicting your character fighting one of them. You can of course do both, and I would love to see any screenshots of your epic battles!
You do not have to know about Dag or this plot in order to participate (:

In forest, this is the pictogram you must look out for (and the hill behind the ruins is where the dandelion is, for those who don't know). It is unclear how many creatures there are, so you must be on your guard when the time comes. It is also a third generation pictogram, which means the map cannot help you!




Rules/Guidance

The creatures actions:
• "Paw Ground" - This is a digging action. If one manages to get to the dandelion and can pull off this action on top of it, it counts as one dig towards Dag's pictogram. The amount of times this is allowed to happen will be counted up at the end and may effect the next portion of the story!
• "Surprised" and "Head Tilt" - This is the equivalent of them baring their teeth and roaring/hissing. They will try to use this to bait and intimidate.
• "Antlers" - An attack using their claws and teeth. It is entirely up to you as to whether your character takes damage.

To kill one: It must be hit by the antlers action* 5 times on separate occasions. For example, 2 deer attacking one at the same time will still only count as 1 hit, not 2.
*The antlers action is purely to make this rule simple; you can translate this action however you like as an attack, just as I will be translating the antler action as the creatures to mean an attack with teeth and claws.

Your character's behaviour:
• In the interest of making it a fun, tactical game, if your character decides to chase one away please do not run it all around the forest disrupting other peoples play. Once it is at a safe distance, return to the dandelion - others may need your help!
IMPORTANT! Mooing is forbidden for this game. Again, so not to disrupt other players who don't want to be involved.

At the end of the two-day game I will tally up the scores of how many were killed, and there will be some honourable mentions of characters who did particularly well.

If you have any questions, please ask! (:

ALSO!

After you participate in forest, could you please post a link to the pictogram you were playing and what time slot you played in? Thank you!
