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.

Caw, played by QuadRaptor.
"The Fall of the Islander"
Clementine, played by Dinamo.
"A Hellish Way to End"
The orange rock hounds don't
The infection is photosensitive so both the light and heat from fire will hurt it. So yeah it can be defeated by fire.
Here's more info on the infection if you need it - Diagnosis - Iugulare's Infection
Oh. sorry, I thought I read
It's no problem, I think
Just a note guys, we're
Thank you all for the interest, roleplays, stories, artwork, and participation in this event! I'm glad it went so well
I just hope the Alpha
Both my characters have taken
I'm pretty sure the omegas
Aww Bluejay, yeah I was surprised how popular this got. I'll have to brainstorm for some new ideas once this is over
I've thought it over and as
I think Cay killed 2 red ones
The number of rock hounds are
Ah alright, I tried to keep
And yeah I think we're going to kill them all off in the roleplay (aside from the ones you just did in your story).
I finished my story.
Tracking! I'm thinking about
I'm thinking about getting into fighting rock-hounds myself, actually. It kind of seems wrong (read the bio for my character, Woodswolf, my main, and you'll see why: http://endlessforest.org/community/woodswolf039s-bio) but it seems fun too.
I really don't want to come
I guess I don't mind you having the character be a former rock hound anyway, but the remaining rock hounds in the Endless Forest are going to be destroyed very soon so there won't really be any more for your character to 'talk to' as you had in the bio.
Sorry I hope this isn't coming off like I'm a jerk. I'm glad that you had interest in them, and sure, please feel free to write a story while there are still a few of the rock hounds left to be killed.
I actually wasn't really
And no, it's fine. I understand
