After a fierce battle between @Robofs740, his comrades and the monkeys, a few got away. They seem to have reported back news of raiders going further into the forest than ever before, and being extremely hostile upon contact. The leader, knowing this was bad news reached out to the treants and formed a temporary alliance. An alliance with the goal to smash the raiders and kick them out of their forests where they've been living in an otherwise peaceful cohabitation. What will come of this? The raiders will eventually find out.
Spoiler: Luminous River Rao’s Journal of adventures chapter 1 The Luminous River I’ve finally freed up enough time to go exploring. Let’s see what are on the list of things others want, pelts, potion materials, and food/water…? I guess my destination today will be the eastern forest, there should be a lake or river at the very least there. Day 1: This is the first day since I’ve entered the forest and so far, I haven’t found anything notable besides the usual slime or treant. I’ll continue trekking towards the center of the forest, I refuse to believe I can’t find a water source in this giant forest, something must be supporting this ecosystem of trees. Day 2: I’ve recently found a very weird deer, I can’t really come up with words to describe it honestly, anyways I plan to track until it goes to a water source. However, this deer doesn’t seem exactly normal, I’m trying to ignore all the strange things happening around it, but I just can’t keep ignoring it haha. Every step it takes seem to sprout flowers or grass, its horns also seem to glow with a seemingly divine light. I’ve even seen it fight off a wolf easily by blasting it with light from its antlers, heal wounded animals, and seemingly transform into particles of light. It is also very intelligent, it allowed me to approach quite easily and seemed to understand why I was following it, after which it just gestured for me to follow it. Day 3: The further I go into the forest the more full of life everything seems, it is really quite mysterious. Thankfully the deer finally arrived at what seems to be a river, which I must say is quite beautiful. The water is crystal clear, and there seems to be a constant flow of silver fish swimming down river. After leading me to a river the deer seemed to gesture that it was leaving. This deer is very intelligent, but clearly not hostile, I’ve heard of stories where there were mystical creatures that would aid travelers, but this is definitely the first time I’ve experienced it. I bowed and thanked the mystical deer for its help. I’ll camp out near the river for the night and map out the surrounding area tomorrow. Day 4: The river’s location itself seems to be on the western side of the forest. As for the flow of water it goes from the North all the way to the East with the river flowing into the sea. I would like to see where the source of the river is, but I’ve stumbled upon some wildlife around the river. I’ll do some observing before I head to the river source. I will say though that the way the river shines in the moonlight is so mesmerizing, I think I’ve come up with a good name for this river, the Luminous River. Which sounds a lot worse now that I’m writing it down, but I’m going to stick with it. Day 5: From what I can see after observing for a whole day the local wildlife seems to consist of four species excluding the weird deer I encountered. For prey it would be the very quick horned rabbit and the darting silver fish in the river and lake. For predators there seems to be a bear covered in runes that mostly feeds on fish and the other is the magical white fox with multiple tails that preys on the rabbits. Aside from their exterior traits it is hard to really be able to tell anything about these creatures so I’m turning in for the night and tomorrow I intend to examine the rabbits and fish. They should have special abilities just based on the local ecosystem here. Day 6: After the day’s observation I’ve come up with names for the two prey animals, the horned gale rabbit and the lunar fish. I know those are pretty stupid names but it’s the only thing I can come up with right now okay? Anyways the gale rabbit gets its name due to the fact it can manipulate the wind it seems, this lets it run faster, float, and to some capacity fly short distances, the horn part of its name comes from the horn on its head that it uses to channel the wind. The rabbit can also shoot balls of air at a predator as an act of self-defense. I would have liked to capture one to see if there were any materials that could be extracted from them. However, all I got for my trouble was what seemed to be the rabbit’s last resort. This attack causes a small vortex which originates from their horn, it is quite a powerful attack, but it breaks their horn and severely weakens them, though they are quite fast even after using this ability. Moving onto the lunar fish these little guys got their name due to their silver coloring and the fact they glow in the moonlight, due to this fact I’ve gone ahead and named this area the Luminous Lake. Aside from that they don’t seem to have any special abilities. They do however, have special properties, which I was able to witness when I saw a wounded rune bear eating them and heal at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. So, while these fish don’t have any special abilities I believe they might have great uses for food and perhaps potions due to their healing property. I later managed to catch one and perform further testing and it seems that the source of their healing comes from this small silver core where their heart should be. This core could probably be used to make advanced healing potions. As for other possible uses, I’ll leave that up to the others to experiment with. Day 7: I set about observing the two predators today and I saw some very interesting things today. The runic bear and the phantom fox as I’ve taken to calling them, have distinctly different habits and abilities, I suppose it would be better to say one is completely reliant on brute force while the other is very sly and cunning. Around these parts it seems that the bear can be considered at the top of the food chain, there also seems to be different tribes for the bears. These different tribes have different rune markings which seem to give different abilities and the tribes fight for territory often, this explains their reliance on the lunar fish due to their constant battling. Besides that though their strength and constitution are also very terrifying to say the least as they can tear through boulders and trees as if they were paper, they can be sent flying and stand back up as nothing happened. They are absolutely at the top of the local food chain. These bears also seem to have fierce competitions within the tribe and against other tribes. It seems that the bears have some kind of hierarchy where they have something akin to a chieftain, I’ve seen other bears of the same tribe challenge the chieftain but all of them were defeated. So, it seems that the leader is the strongest of the tribe. It only makes sense I suppose due to the fact the different tribes are constantly fighting each other. I’ve also come to believe that there are four different tribes around here due to the different runic markings on their fur. I think I’ve managed to pinpoint the abilities these runes seem to give, red for strength, green for agility, yellow for endurance, and white for regeneration. Those are the only four runes I’ve seen so far at least with each rune corresponding to a different tribe. The phantom fox on the other hand is the absolute opposite of the runic bear. They prefer to rely on tricks and illusions to hunt their prey, they are also quite quick though not as fast as the gale rabbits. The way the hunt the rabbits is, interesting to say the least. They project illusions and lure the rabbit into a trap whereupon they pounce on it before it even knows what happened. I’ve also often been tricked by the foxes themselves just for observing them, I often times don’t even know if what I’m seeing is an actual fox or an illusion. They also don’t seem to be territorial but rather free roaming and mischievous creatures. Sadly, I could not capture one for further analysis due to their cunning nature. I would have really liked to be able to gather more information or analyze these foxes more, but they certainly live up to the name I’ve given them considering how elusive they are. I’ll have to make a separate trip back here again to try and capture one. Day 8: I’ve been following this river for quite a while and it seems to lead to the heart of the forest, but it seems I’m quite a way from the end of the river. I’ve also seemed to have entered those weird deer’s territory as I seem to see them once an hour or so. I’m starting to feel mildly worried though as they almost seem to be watching me. Hopefully, it’s just me overthinking it, tomorrow morning I’ll continue the trek and hopefully reach the lake this river originated from. Day 9: I finally reached the end of the river and found a lake situated inside a small clearing. It appears quite serene and peaceful though I think that largely stems from the local deer population. After further investigation they seem to almost be protectors of life and nature, all animals come to drink from the lake in peace predators and prey alike. Such a scene is quite surreal to witness, considering this I’ve taken to calling these deer’s the Protectors of The Forest. I was however chased away from this sanctuary by the deers, I’ll set up camp outside and observe the area a bit. Day 10: I discovered a secret pathway near the lake today, I’m unsure of why it took me so long to find it, however, when I went to explore where it led I was promptly stopped by a group of protectors, almost as if they were warning me not to keep going. Whatever is over there must be a huge secret and I plan to try and sneak over in the dead of night. If all goes well I will have another area to explore and report on. Though I am curious as to why the deers stopped me, they have been very peaceful so to see them stopping me is unusual. With my luck I’ll be stepping into the lair of an evil monster or something haha. Though this is only speculation that is the only conclusion I can come to, I’ll have to proceed with caution. Day 11: I will say, that I should have listened to the warning signs when I saw them, at the time of this recording I am back at camp near the lake. I suppose I’ll start from the beginning, I did indeed manage to sneak past the protectors of the secret pathway. At the end was a field of flowers which had a variety of colors that looked both beautiful and surreal in the moonlight. I was ecstatic at the discovery if I’m honest, it was probably this joy that made me ignore my instincts that were telling me to run, man I was oblivious to the danger that was lurking nearby. I entered the flower field soon after discovering it eager to explore, I think it was after I took a few steps in just how much danger I was in. It was hard to describe, but the best I can say is that it felt like I was stepping into another world. I was about to gather some flowers when I was attacked by a shadowy beast. I don’t even think it is right to call it a beast, it was more of a monster, or abomination. It had no set form, at times it appeared as a normal animal at other times a chimera of different animals. Its very presence felt very foreign and terrifying like it was something that shouldn’t exist. Needless to say, I immediately ran trying to get out of there. Naturally the creature attacked me as I ran but thankfully I only got hit once on my arm. It left this weird mark on my arm, it looks a little like a small black crown? I’m a little worried about this, no matter what I do it won’t wash off or disappear. Well needless to say I’m tired after everything that’s happened today, I’ll finish up everything I need to do and start the trek back to Raid City. Day 12: I’ve been thoroughly stupefied by what I’ve learned today. So, these deer or protectors appear to have the ability to use telepathy which really shocked me when I started hearing a voice in my head. I got to hear the story about that nightmare of an area and what the mark on my arm means. From what they told me that field of flowers is the entrance to another world or dimension called the Abyss, the entrance also only opens at night, and that mark on my arm is the insignia of one of the lords of the Abyss. The protectors seem unable to be unable to remove the mark on my arm though they did seem to be able to temporarily suppress the mark. I’ve been told to leave and make my report before returning to visit the lake in a week or two where I can learn the full story. This will be the end of this entry, I’ll soon be ending this exploration and return to Raid City to make my report. Day 13: This will be my final entry into this journal for this exploration and a overall summary of what occurred during this adventure. I’ve found various materials that could be beneficial to Raid City and I’ve also found a source of water that we needed desperately. This part of the forest is also very mystical though, the ecosystem is very balanced and kept in check by the competing species. I’ve also learned that the deer’s duty is to protect the forest and prevent the opening of the Abyss though I’m not quite sure what the Abyss is. Regardless I’ve promised to help them should they ever require my help since they did save my life. I have been invited to visit their home after two weeks this is due to the fact it is about time I went back to Raid City to report. I will visit them soon and discuss exactly what those monsters were, who did the mark on my arm belong, and what exactly is the nature of the Abyss. Well that aside on the practical side of things what can be gathered here is straightforward. The lunar fish’s core can be used to make potions or perhaps it can be merged into armor or the like to provide a minor healing effect, there will have to be a lot of testing in this department, aside from that we can probably also use them for cooking and food. As for the horned gale rabbits, I will have to return here to get a more accurate read on them, but their horn in magical at the very least since it seems to be the source of the rabbit’s magic and control over the wind. The bears while powerful and dangerous I believe that their pelt, bones, and sinew could all be used to make armor and weapons, aside from that I mean there is food you could technically get from a bear, including their liver. The foxes don’t seem to be much of a resource besides their beautiful pelts, but perhaps our mages or clerics could learn some of their illusion magic and the like. As for the protectors of the forest I have no doubt they are magical and have some amazing materials we could get from them, but I doubt anybody in Raid City could match one of them right now even with a group, besides I don’t think hunting them would be a good idea I believe they are keeping something extremely dangerous at bay. This ends my report on the Luminous River and its surroundings and it also marks the end of my first exploration.
Spoiler: Creatures of the Luminous River Rao’s Report During my exploration of the Luminous River I saw many interesting sights and creatures. Three creatures specifically stood out to me. The Runic Bear, the Phantom Fox, and the Horned Gale Rabbit. They are what I would consider a big part of the food chain in the local ecosystem. This prompted me to attempt to observe and analyze them though this might have been a bad idea in hindsight. I had the honor and pleasure of having some rather unpleasant encounters with these creatures, though they did allow me to get a better understanding of their capabilities thankfully. For the Runic bear it was attempting to catch some of the lunar fish inside the river when I was attacked by it. I got perhaps a little too close to the creature and naturally what followed afterwards was a fight. I would like to say it was a fight, but it was more of me just running around trying to stay alive and maybe getting a hit in every now and then, though this was quite terrifying considering it tore through trees and rocks like they were paper. Every hit with my sword felt like I was hitting rock, the few cuts I made on the bear were minimal and not deep at all. It was at this point that the bear seemingly went into a rage and just completely disregarded and what followed afterwards was not a battle but a man running for his life. I was barely able to escape the bear and seeing that this was a losing battle after taking a full-on mauling from the bear I ran for my life and thankfully managed to get away with just a few bruises and bad cuts. The encounter with the Phantom Fox was one of the must frustrating “fights” I’ve ever had. First off is the fact I spent the better half of a day walking in circles because I was trapped in an illusion and getting bit repeatedly causing me some wounds. I had no clue what how to get out and I couldn’t even touch the fox let alone fight it. However, perhaps it was the fox showing me mercy and finally ended the illusion. Which allowed me to finally regain some clarity and confirm my surroundings. This is where I discovered that even though I had been getting attacked, I was not hurt in the slightest, it was all fake. When I turned to see the fox, it was already leaving but before getting out of sight it turned around and almost seemed to be smirking at me like it had just pulled off a great prank. The Horned Gale Rabbit encounter on the other hand was a lot more normal but at the same time bizarre. It was very clear cut that I was stronger, and I was going to be able to capture or kill the rabbit. However, when I was about to kill the rabbit it fired off one of the most terrifying attacks I’ve ever seen. It tore me up and grinded the surrounding rocks and dirt to dust. Thankfully after the attack the rabbit’s horn broke and it seemed to run out of energy allowing me even with all my injuries to capture it. Though I couldn’t perform any tests on the rabbit’s horn due to it seemingly losing all its power. This is just a few of the encounters I had with these creatures before I left the forest to make my report. These creatures are not to be underestimated and should all be approached with caution if my minor encounters with them are any kind of indicator. Spoiler: Runic Bear Name: Runic Bear Stats: Level: 17 Hit points: 3000 Stamina: 600 Skills: Wild Swipe: 25 STA The bear swipes at all targets in melee with their claws dealing 800 damage.

Rune of Agility (2): All the bear’s attacks become unavoidable, the bear also gains a free dodge reaction once per round. Rune of Endurance (3): The bear recovers 50 STA per round Rune of Regeneration (4): The bear heals for 300 Hp per round Description: The Rune bears are known for the runes that adorn their fur and are very fierce creatures and very territorial, if you happen to step into their territory you should expect to be attacked. They are known to pursue and hunt down any trespassers. Their territory seems to range all around the river’s length so with the competition between the four different tribes being very ferocious it is often dangerous to stay near the river. Their bones and pelts are very sturdy making for valuable materials for armor and weapons, bear is also a delicacy in some areas, so they can also be eaten. Rewards for Defeat: 300 G, 400 EXP, 9 Stat points, 3 Skill Points, 1 Bear Tooth, 1 Bear Blood, Drops: Bear Pelt, Bear Tooth, Bear Meat, Bear Liver, Bear Sinew, Stat Point, Skill Point, Primal Rage Skill Book (for Berserkers), Hardened Body Skill Book (for Warriors and Rangers), Strong Body Skill book (for Warriors, Rangers, Paladins, and Anti-Paladins).

Wind Lance: 40 MP The rabbit fires off a piercing blast of air from that stabs their attackers, deals 800 unblockable damage. Gale Vortex: 1-300 MP The rabbit’s last resort that it only uses under fear of immediate death, it dodges a fatal attack and creates a concentrated vortex from it’s horn that grinds everything caught inside to dust. This attack deals unblockable/undodgeable damage at up to 3 targets based on how much mana the rabbit has left, the attack does 10 damage per mana put into the attack. After it uses this attack the rabbit’s horn breaks, causing the rabbit to lose all access to magic and be severely weakened (can no longer react and takes double damage). Wind Walking: 20 MP (Buff Reaction) The rabbit can enhance its movement allowing it to walk on air and speed it up allowing it to make another dodge reaction. Sudden Gale: 40 MP (Debuff Reaction) The rabbit causes turbulent winds that makes approaching it or an ally impossible while also causing any projectiles to veer away from their intended target and miss. Dodge: 5 uses Dodges an attack Description: The Horned Gale Rabbits are very quick creatures that tend to travel as a pair or trio. Though they may be at the bottom of the food chain around the Luminous River that does not make them easy prey. Through observation it has been seen that though rare that these rabbits can kill their attackers, there are also stories of these rabbits killing runic bears but those are simple rumors. Their horns carry magical properties seemingly giving the rabbits effortless control over the wind. Their pelt also seems to be quite luxurious as it is soft to the touch, and there are also tales of their feet being good luck charms. There are also some stories of some rabbits being tamed and treated as pets. Rewards for Defeat: 150 G, 250 EXP, 3 Stat Points, 3 Skill Points, 1 Rabbit Pelt, 1 Rabbit Blood, 1 Rabbit Tooth, Drops: Gale Horn (Only if they didn’t use Gale Vortex), Rabbit Pelt, Rabbit Tooth, Rabbit Blood, Rabbit Meat, Stat Point, Skill Point, Wind Lance Skill Book (for Wind Mages), Wind Walking Skill Book (for Wind Mages), Sudden Gale Skill Book (for Wind Mages), Gale Vortex Skill Book (for Wind Mages).

Mirage: 50 MP Creates 2 more images of yourself, making an enemy roll a d3 when attacking you. On a 3 they hit you, but on a 1 or 2 they hit a clone, making it dissipate. When a clone disappears, the dice drops down to a d2 and they hit you on a 2. Casting mirage again will just generate up to 2 images. Multiple attacks from an enemy in one turn will target the same image/body Phantom Fire: 40 MP The fox conjures illusionary fire that affects the psyche. The fire deals 600 mental damage that disrupts concentration making it harder to perform magic, raiders that have been hit and attempt to use magic must roll a 1d3 (1-2 = fail, 3 = success) to cast magic successfully lasts 1 round. Phantasm: 250 MP The fox’s greatest weapon, it conjures a near-perfect illusion that raiders cannot tell if real or not. This lasts 3 rounds and all raiders’ abilities affect both sides. While phantasm is active, raiders must roll a 1d10 to see if they can see through the illusion (8-10 = success). If they fail, any skill that targets a monster or a raider will cause the user to roll a 1dX (X = raiders + monsters) to determine who the ability hits. Dodge: 5 uses Description: The Phantom Fox is a very elusive creature that is hard to observe due to their mastery over illusions. What can be observed is their choice of prey which is the Horned Gale Rabbit, they are masters of hunting these rabbits, without even being touched by the rabbits. Even against the runic bears, while they don’t pose much of a threat to the bears, they aren’t at a disadvantage due to their trickery. From the few dead foxes that were found it was found that they held a lustrous core inside them, the purpose it holds is unknown, but it is thought to help them project their illusions. There are also rare stories of these creatures willingly following someone and acting as some sort of companion, though they apparently never lose their mischievous side. Rewards for Defeat: 200 G, 350 EXP, 4 Stat Points, 6 Skill Points, 1 Fox Pelt, 1 Fox Fang, 1 Fox Blood Drops: Fox Pelt, Fox Fang, Fox Blood, Phantom Core, Stat Point, Skill Point, Phantom Fire Skill Book (for Priests and Illusionists), Mirage Skill Book (for Priests and Illusionist), Phantasm Skill Book (for illusionist).
Special Raid Event #2 Part 1 - Zombie Horde An elderly man wandered about from village to village, telling magnificent stories of valor and heroism in order to earn a bit of coin. One day, he arrived at Raid City. When questioned at the gates, he introduced himself as a wandering storyteller and offered the residents of the city some stories in exchange for a night’s rest and meals. The city guards, after notifying Oz of the man’s presence and receiving his approval, acknowledged the elderly man and let him in. The elder was guided to the inn to rest. There, he began telling stories of the heroes of the past as well as strange monsters that had surfaced and roamed the lands past the Western Mountains. It was at this point when all the raiders had completed their missions and raids, and were just entering the inn to rest and socialize. Upon seeing the elderly man telling his stories, one of the raiders remarked. “What’s so fun about stories about heroes and shit?” The sudden outburst silenced the building. The old man paused his story and glanced up at the raider. “Oh? And what stories, in your opinion, are fun?” “Naturally scary stories!” “Oh? Such as?” “Such as zombies! Now, those are things to be thrilled about.” “Oh ho...zombies eh? Well, I got a story just for you then. Why don’t you all sit down while I tell it?” As the elderly man motioned the raiders to sit, he repositioned himself so that he was facing the raiders. After closing his eyes for a brief moment, the old man began. For some reason, his tone and attitude seemed to have changed, as if replaced by a different person. The raiders listened to the old man’s story with interest. Their attention drawn in by the mesmerizing words. Oz smiled and inwardly applauded the way the storyteller told his story. However, his smile froze a second later. As soon as he blinked, he found himself outside, surrounded by his fellow raiders but not a city in sight. The sky was dimly lit but Oz was able to see that his friends also did not know what was going on. Before Oz could utter a word, someone screamed out. “Zombies! Run for your lives!!” Oz, along with the other raiders, turned their attention towards where the scream came from and found countless villagers running towards them. No...the people weren’t running towards them...they were running away from THEM. About a hundred zombies were scrambling after the villagers, biting and infecting many. Oz held up his sword and roared. “Raiders! Defend the people! Attack!!”

Special Raid Event #2 Part 2 - Calm Before the Storm The raiders looked on with despair as more than a thousand zombies scrambled fiercely towards them. When all hope seemed to be lost, the zombies suddenly stopped moving. One by one, they collapsed onto the ground. An eerie silence filled the air.... Could it be? The raiders dared to hope that maybe this nightmare had ended and they would wake up back in Raid City. However, their glimmers of hope soon dispersed like a blown-out candle as the zombies began to shift towards each other and merged into something more sinister than before. Even the corpse of their fellow raiders also moved on its own towards the masses and merged with the abomination. The abomination loomed over them, towering by over a hundred feet. Seconds later, it began to shrink until it was about 10 feet tall. Its crumbling flesh hardened and blackened. An aura of power could be felt from its presence.

Special Raid Event #2 Part 3 - The Return During the last part of the battle against the abomination, Oz couldn’t help but feel that there was something different from the zombie raids they had been conducting throughout the night. The zombies that were killed…their bodies disappeared a few minutes after they crumbled to the ground. And…how does so many zombies merge into a single entity like the abomination? This should be impossible. Oz looked around him…strange…why were there still so many villagers here? Shouldn’t they have run away by now? Where did all these villagers come from? How did so many zombies pop up? It went from a hundred zombies to more than a thousand in less than a day! This…this must be a dream! Oz remembered that before all this, they were in Raid City listening to a storyteller telling his story…the storyteller! They were transported to this place after listening to that storyteller’s story. Oz has never heard of any story that could teleported a large group of people to an unknown place. Could this be…a dream? With a flash of confidence, Oz knew what he had to do. Oz looked up at the skies and bellowed deeply. “AWAKEN!!!” ******************************* The elderly storyteller sudden opened his closed eyes and stopped speaking. He stroked his scraggly beard and murmured with some admiration. “Oh-ho. Someone actually broke through my spell. Interesting.” The elder sat down by his table and sipped some tea while the raiders awoke from their slumber. Rao rushed towards Myst and clasped his hand firmly on Myst’s shoulders. “Myst! You’re alive! That’s good!” “W-What happened?” Myst stammered as he groggily squinted at his peers. “That’s what we like to know too.” Oz stepped forward and smiled. “I think I know what happened. Isn’t that right, Mr. Storyteller?” “That’s right. I just told you a story. Did you enjoy it? Was it thrilling enough?” Nin stepped out and pointed. “That was your doing? We nearly died!” “Oh, but you didn’t, am I right? And even if you did like that young man over there, you came out unharmed right?” “Y-You!” Oz held up his hand to stop Nin as he walked towards the elder. “You’re right. I, represent Raid City and its raiders, to thank you for your story. Please come by anytime. We will wholeheartedly welcome you.” “Haha, don’t worry. You can count on it. See you next year!” The elder left after finishing his meal and bidding farewell. **Update: Student Starting Class Unlocked!!!**
Monster Sighted!! Wolf Pack - Lvl 10 Description: Wolf attacks had always been a thing in the forest. Villagers had taken precautions to not wander 30 feet away from the forest trails when going out to collect herbs or hunt. And the wolves kept to themselves as well.

Thanksgiving Special Raid Event #3 Part 1 - Going Hunting “Raiders Appreciation Week is just around the corner! Let’s all do our best! We will be hosting a feast for our fellow citizens.” Oz announced one day as the raiders gathered around him to listen. Mire saluted. “Understood!” “Haha, no need to be uptight, Mire. It’s just going to be a small hunt for food in preparation for the feast. Here are the list of items we will be needing.” Oz responded as he posted the list on the bulletin board. Once Oz walked away, everyone crowded next to the board and read the contents of the list. Ingredients Needed:x8 Turkeys x300 Cranberries x600 Green Beans x100 Mushrooms x100 Onions x1000 Pecans As many potatoes as you can possibly find/carry “Only 8 turkeys? With our number plus the NRCs (non-raider civilians), this won’t be considered a feast.” Azeroth murmured as he read the list out loud. “What are you talking about?” Sylth replied. “If those are the turkeys from the countryside, then they will surely feed us all for a day or two.” “Oh? How so?” Nin butted in. “The turkeys from the countryside are as large as cows. Though harmless against us raiders, they can prove somewhat of a danger towards NRCs.” Sylth explained. “I see.” Azeroth mused as he stroked his imaginary beard. “Alright, then let’s prepare to leave.” “Okay.” Sylth nodded. “Should we divide the tasks?” “Sure. Let’s have the raid masters each take on a turkey as well as some of the other foods. I’m sure we can find cranberries, mushrooms, pecans and green beans in the forests. Onions and potatoes are surely found in the plains.” “Okay, then it’s settled. Everyone, let’s finish this quickly.” ********** “Menial tasks like picking cranberries and green beans or digging for onions and potatoes are so boring. Why should we do this when we can go raiding?” Crow complained as he marched alongside his fellow raiders. Silver glanced at the new raider with a sigh and suggested, “Why not we imagine these tasks to be like a tough raid of sorts?” “Oh? What do you mean?” “Like imagine these onions are powerful knights or these pecans as tough demons.” “Hey, that sounds interesting.” Rao interjected as he walked shoulder to shoulder with Silver. “And we could assume the turkeys to be powerful dragons.” “Turkey Dragons!” Cain chirped in. “That’s right! Turkey Dragons! Imagine that!” Rao waved his hand up as everyone began imagining their conquest. Note: Event starts in one or two days

You do not suffer any consequences/restrictions on terrain. Requirements: Must cross Tato Desert in one day.
The Shiny Petal Sylth looked at the shiny flower petal in her possession. She had gotten it from a goblin raid some time ago but hadn’t had the chance to study it as she was busy with all the events that happened. Sylth gently touched the petal. It felt cold and dry. She was amazed that even though the petal was separated from the flower, the shine still remained. How was that possible? What prevents the petal from losing its shiny properties? Sylth wanted to dissect the flower petal but couldn’t as she thought it would cause the petal to lose its shine. Maybe she could gently tug at the two sides to see if it would lose some of the properties. Sylth decided to go with this method. As she grabbed a hold of both sides of the petal and tugged, the petal suddenly tore apart! “NOOO!!” Sylth yelped in panic, but she soon quieted down as the two pieces remained glowing in her hands. “H-How unusual!” Sylth held one piece close and observed the cross section. There was a shiny liquid flowing inside the petal. What is this liquid? Sylth rushed over to her work table and found herself a glass vial. She held the petals over the bottle and had the liquid flow into the vial. After draining the petals of most of its liquid, Sylth corked the vial to prevent any leakage of the liquid’s essence. As an elf, she could feel the magical properties within the liquid. But, as a ranger, she was not fluent in the ways of magic. She may require outside help…maybe from Oz or Silver. Sylth glanced at the drained petals and developed a curious thought. What if she nibbled at the petal. What would happen? She knew that there were some flowers whose petals are edible. Maybe these petals are edible as well? Sylth brought one of the pieces to her lips and took a small bite. Suddenly, the petal quickly melted in her mouth and, as she swallowed, her body filled with magic…her MP boosted by 50 and her INT increased by 5! If just a small bite of the drained petal could give so much…then what could a bite of liquid-filled petal give? What could a complete flower give? What could a whole field of these flowers give? So that’s the why the Goblin King was looking for this flower!
Alezzel's Contract As Alezzel finished the last sentence of her song, a shimmering glow appeared above her, casting waves of light unto the young elf. Surprised by the sudden light, Alezzel half-assumed that the moon had answered her prayers and appeared before her. Looking up, what she saw was not the moon, but a strange glow. Upon a closer inspection, the elf realized that within the glow was a humanoid figure. “W-Who are you?” Alezzel stammered as she gathered her bearings and stood up. “I am a child of the lunar goddess – Achelois. You may call me Mimi.” The humanoid figure stepped out of the light and revealed herself as a chibi with orange, fox ears. “B-But your fur is orange….” “I haven’t awakened my bloodline yet. I need to form a contract with you to awaken it. Are you willing?” “What do I get from the contract?” “Didn’t you want to become a moon elf?” “Y-You mean I can become one after forming a contract with you?” “Well…yea.” “That’s great!” Alezzel, tempted by the offer, immediately accepted without catching the tinge of hesitation from the fox child’s reply. Alezzel held out her hand and, upon contact with the fox child’s paw, she began to glimmer. Her hair paled until it was a lustrous white. Her skin became pale white with a hint of purple. The color of her eyes lightened until it became bright blue. As the newly evolved moon elf cheerfully examined herself, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong. She did not feel herself closer to the moon as described in the ancient scripts. “Didn’t you say I’ll become a moon elf? How come I don’t feel any affinity to the moon?” Alezzel glared at the awakened fox chibi. Mimi busily examined her awakened state and delicately caressed her silvery fur. “It’s true that you will become a moon elf…but not immediately. This is only the intermediate stage.” “Y-You lied to me!” “No, I didn’t. Relax! You will become a moon elf one way or the other. It’s just…you’re missing a few key steps in the process.” “What do you mean? If I’m not a moon elf, then what am I?” “You’re a moon sprite. To truly become a moon elf, you will need to help me evolve into a fairy.” “And how should I do that?” “I need to consume herbs rich in Achelois’s blessings.” “I-In Achelois’s blessings? What do you mean?” “Achelois is known for her healing powers. Obviously, you need to feed me herbs rich in healing properties.” “That’s easy! How many do I need?” “A hundred non-tainted herbs.” “A hundred?! Non-tainted?” “Yes, the herbs cannot be picked by heretics. Only worshippers of Achelois can pick them and not taint the herbs.” “So, that means I have to pick a hundred of such herbs myself?” “That’s correct. Can you do it?” “Ehm…I can!”
Thanksgiving Special Raid Event #3 Part 3 - Awaken “Rao! Guys! Snap out of it! We got work to do!” Oz approached the group of daydreaming raiders and shook a few awake. “Ahhhh!!” Silver screamed as he woke up and felt himself for any injuries. “I’m alive!” “Of course you are, idiot!” Oz snorted as he shook Crow awake. “What were you guys doing? The feast is in ten or so hours. How much food have you collected?” “Um….” The group of raiders looked at their scarce supplies with embarrassment. “Is that all you got? Get to it! Hurry!” Oz urged the raiders to continue looking for supplies. And so, with a few hours of hard work, the food had been collected and cooked just barely in time for the opening ceremony. As the Raid City hosted the feast for its civilians and raiders, the raiders couldn’t help but wonder back to the daydreaming they had experienced hours earlier. How did their imagination, during the harvesting, become so real? Suddenly, the raiders felt something stirring within them. They felt…refreshed. ALL RAIDERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE THANKSGIVING EVENT GAIN +10 INT, +50 MP, and +20 STA
Winter Raid Event #4 Part 1 - Ice to Ice, Snow to Snow It was winter. Snow and harsh weather plagued the lands surrounding Raid City. But that was all there was to it. This winter was different. Unlike the previous winters, villages were able to harvest and save plenty. Unlike the previous winters, the villagers surrounding Raid City had plenty to eat and last throughout the winter. This was all thanks to the raiders who helped drive away the monsters that roamed the lands. Meanwhile, the Winter Festivals were fervently moving through the streets of Raid City. Tourists and merchants from all over have come to attend the festivities. One merchant, in particular, came with a caravan full of magic dust – a commodity used for magic fireworks. However, little did he know, his cargo was leaking. Magic dust spewed out from the caravan and onto the snow and ice on the roads. The magic dust fused with the snow and ice, forming powerful ice and snow magic cores. Ice shards gathered around the ice magic cores and snow gathered around the snow magic cores. Soon, many Snowman and Ice Golems were formed. Their target – Raid City. To arms!
