Just a note guys, we're probably going to end up killing the remaining rock hounds in the current
rock hound roleplay. This'll mean I may not do any more FeralHeart-based rock hound activity since it was so difficult to coordinate them. So anyway, if you want to participate in the roleplay and fight some of the remaining rock hounds, feel free to join in, but when they're gone, they're gone. I'll make a note on the roleplay as to which varieties are officially killed off when it gets to that point.
Thank you all for the interest, roleplays, stories, artwork, and participation in this event! I'm glad it went so well
--------------------------------------------
This is for events that need to be written about the
Rock Hounds but not necessarily in their own story. I'll post little updates on events that occur, such as crystal purifications and maybe Iugulare's thoughts on what is going on.
Anyone who would like to write their own Rock Hound Encounter stories can do those here instead of making individual blogs, but that's strictly up to you. Even if anyone wants to just draw a comic or a picture (or a series of pictures) of their deer facing a rock hound or ripping the crystal out, I'll even count that as a 'victory'.
Don't forget the eye/crystal colors and abilities:
Omega Varieties
(Attack more wildly and untrained compared to Alphas)
Red
Enhanced strength
(Red Rock Hounds can often overpower even the toughest of deer)
Blue
Stronger defenses/more endurance
(Blue Rock Hounds can take much damage without wearing down)
Green
Regeneration
(Green Rock Hounds can heal their bones quickly)
Yellow
Enhanced speed and reflexes
(Yellow Rock Hounds are extremely swift and agile)
Alpha varieties
(Much deadlier than the Omegas as they have been trained to hunt)
Purple
Invisibility
(Purple Rock Hounds can cloak to their surroundings, appearing invisible to their prey)
Orange
More Potent Infection + Infection 'spitting'
(Orange Rock Hounds can quickly infect and paralyze their prey, leaving them vulnerable. They can fire their infection from long distances and are extremely accurate)
Thanks again to Anjali for those drawings!
And with that, feel free to track this and/or participate in the event.
Just need to point something out guys...
The 'Alpha' rock hounds, the orange and purple varieties, are supposed to be very difficult to fight. While it isn't required, I think your deer should either get help fighting them or have a very long, drawn out fight against them. They're supposed to be the top hunters of the rock hounds and not fall so easily compared to the 'Omega' varieties. A lone deer should have a difficult fight against one alone, unless they're an experienced fighter, but even so they should have a tough fight ahead of them.
From now on, I want to see more realistic fights against the 'Alpha' rock hounds.

Not that I'm desperate for this to be over or anything, just letting you know now that you can draw out a rock hound fight if you don't write all that much.
Or maybe we could do some kind of ongoing roleplay, though I don't usually do RPs all that much. Dunno, any suggestions you guys have are great.
I think this should turn into
In case it gets missed cuz
Thanks for all the
And while you guys were busy on those, I was working on my own idea...
I'm not the best at roleplaying but I think this would be a fun, interesting way to have more rock hound fights. I know my time on the computer is limited but I would love to roleplay these out sometime, at least a few.
I did one story including my

O.O.... Wow Quad.... They
They look amazing. =D
I actually have Kaides and Wings in FH, but I don't know if they would want to go up against the rockhounds again. Hmm... I'd have to think abot it.
I play Feral Heart! I'd love
Also, Voice killed a green rock hound, and Peirce killed a yellow, just to let you know.
Oh I thought Voice was the
"Peirce was about to pick up the crystal when the wolf barked and ran away. Forgetting all about the crystal, Peirce and Voice walked away.
The glowing crystal started to shake, and out came an owl skeleton, with green eyes, then flew up to a nearby tree...."
I'll add that Peirce and Voice both defeated the yellow, but please clarify what happened with the green one.
Actually no worries, i listed that one with the 'unaccounted for' crystals for now.
Illrose have taken down a

I had a rock hound in the TEF map on FH, but since noone showed up, I'm logged out for now. He may be back in later though

I'll assure you, though, that I do not god-mod, but do expect the fight to be somewhat difficult, especially a blue rock hound having strong defenses.
Around what time? I was
Maybe 8:00-10:00 PM CST for
It'll be in the TEF map if that's okay, I wouldn't want anyone not involved with the event distracting us. Also i may need some tips on how to properly roleplay XD!!
We can have multiple rock hound fights (I.E. if there's a variety you'd rather fight than a blue, I can easily switch. I just was thinking blue by default since they are the most abundant right now) and multiple people can participate if they'd like.

I think I'm going to make these schedule-based instead of me randomly jumping on and waiting to see if anyone comes XD
There's a TEF map in
Awesome... =D
All righty, I think I'll be

Well...The other day my computer started acting up. This is what it's doing, and it's been making my games run badly as well as my internet act up.
So I sadly need to postpone it...kind of indefinitely until I can get this fixed. It may be a long while.
I think my computer is pretty much fixed, at least the best I can make it. I'm on FH right now with Haru and Skitties, and they did a Blue rock hound fight (my first RP on there). Sorry I didn't get to you this weekend, if it wasn't for my computer acting up I would have.
I will note though that I will be pretty free next weekend since I have the house to myself, so maybe we can plan it then.
Tracking, finally. >_>

I'll make an update soon for
The reason for this is because of the nature of the infection, this is a possible way to defeat a rock hound. However, it does involve endurance as you'd be chased by the rock hound for quite some time. Unless you were able to weaken or incapacitate them. In addition, the two varieties that would really fall for this are red and blue rock hounds, as the yellow rock hounds would not be so easy to out run due to their agility, and the greens would heal too quickly for the sunlight to affect them.
--------------------------------------
Something else - Gglidden suggested that maybe Iugulare replaces some of the fallen rock hounds with two more varieties - orange and purple. Here are a few powers suggested:
Purple - Invisibility (though temporary) or chameleon cloaking
"summoning" other rock hounds or being able to summon other skeletons in the ground (i.e. irish elk skeletons) to fight alongside it
Orange - Sniping/long range abilities (cobra spitting)
Fireballs or fire based abilities
This is not set in stone but if you like or dislike the idea of there being 50 more rock hounds (25 of each of these new varieties), let me know!
Hmm, these new varieties
Yeah Gglidden thought that
I really like the invisibility idea, but for the orange one I don't really know. Trying to think of a really neat power for it.
Also maybe the deer could mistake these new varieties, thinking the orange-eye is really a red-eye and a purple-eye is really a blue-eye. A fatal error there, thinking they know how to fight them, when really they're dealing with an entirely different variety.
Hmm...another thought I have for an orange-eye is that when it bites someone it's going after, maybe it's infection is more potent than the others, so it infects much more rapidly. Maybe it has a higher success rate of 'zombifying' or otherwise stunning whoever it's fighting, giving it the perfect opportunity to rip their throat out (or if Iugulare wants to keep them as a minion, that may happen too)
.....maybe the purple and orange rock hounds are the alpha wolves, so they're much more efficient hunters?
Edit - Vote for what you think here!
Track. This seems really
This sounds extremely
With a new set of crystals
"Do you notice...these are all omegas?", Michael asked.
"I can't tell. What do you mean by that?", Auriea asked.
"Well these ones are much more clumsy. They have not been trained very well. I'm starting to wonder if these are really the lowest ranking wolves from the Sonoma Tribe.", Michael said.
"Do you mean that...there could be more out there? Stronger, better ones than these?", Auriea questioned.
Michael sighed, "Considering what I know about wolves...there will be more, and they will be far superior to these ones in every way. We'd better keep an eye out for any more that seem suspicious."
The twin gods did not realize how right they were, for even as they spoke, Iugulare was busy working on more crystals...and more rock hounds...
Ren Shi: -cracks her
I'm still not sure if I'll do another, but I just had to reply x3
Here It Is !! This took me
This took me quite a long time... Hope it's okay... I used Quad and Illrose (only the names!) in it. I think it's also the first purple Rock Hound fight.

I wrote another one, I hope you don't mind.

The Alphas are in FeralHeart now.
Going to do another. It'll be
It'll be realistic, I actually don't know if the hound will lose this time.
we'll seeeee

Rofl ok, take your time! ^^
A red-eyed rock hound was
It chose the latter.
Actually, I think we decided that Blue had cast a spell on the rock hound, and the light produced burns his infection, so he ran away, Blue following, smiling and humming the entire time.
And quite frankly, I don't blame the rock hound. Blue's unconditional love is a fate worse than death
I love how Blue doesn't seem

100TH POST IS MINE. Just a
Just a question about the Rock Hounds, well, actually, more an infection question. Well, two questions, one about rock hounds and one about the infection.
-If the orange rock hounds can shoot fire balls, does that mean water can hurt them?
-can fire defeat the infection?
