Random Event Suggestions

Feeling broke lately? Has the character creation bug grabbed hold of you and drained your gemstone wallet dry? Well, don't fear - we're giving out some gems for people who suggest fun random event ideas for future use! Get your thinking caps on...

Each admin approved suggestion can earn 100 GEMS each, with a max of 500 GEMS earned per user, to go into your Gemstone Credits!

1. We want random events from all the skills! This includes FIGHTING, HUNTING, HEALING, NAVIGATION, and INTELLECT. Some will be easier than others - feel free to get creative. For example, a hunting event could involve a character using a trap of some sort, an intellect event could involve a character getting stuck somewhere and having to use an assortment of items to get out (or even solve a silly puzzle), fighting may involve fighting off an NPC, and so forth. We highly encourage creative events; events that players will find fun and unique!

2. All suggested random events can be altered and edited as needed by the admins before being used on-site.

3. Feel free to suggest more than just five random events, but note that you will only be rewarded a max of 500 gems.

4. Try to suggest for a variety of skills; we know navigation and hunting will be the easiest, but try to be creative and spread out the ideas!

5. Please note that these are player-driven events, so after the initial post there will be no more staff interference in these random event threads, so the initial event post should contain all the information needed for a thread.

For examples of random events, see the following: One, Two

<b>Skill Point</b>:

<b>Description of random event</b>:

Skill Point: Fighting
Location(s): Lifeless Caverns and other underground places?
Description of random event: Zombie attack! A group of unwitting travelers find themselves surrounded by a horde of undead humans resurrected with one purpose: to devour the living!

Skill Point: Navigation, possibly fighting
Location(s): Hallucination Caves
Description of random event: A brazen explorer suddenly finds his/herself face to face with a creature thought to be long extinct: a t-rex! He or she must navigate the corridors to escape the caves, or risk being eaten by the dinosaur! In a place like this who knows what is real and what isn't, but do you really want to take your chances with a giant carnivorous lizard?

I'm gonna say yes to #2 because of the hallucination factor? Not too sure about #1 :s - Nyx

Skill Point: Healing
Location(s): Barren Dunes or Redwater Rocks?
Description of random event: A handful of characters come across an NPC in a bad situation; obviously ill and not doing well. Symptoms seen include the following:


two puncture wounds
difficulty breathing
vomiting and nausea
blurred vision
sweating and salivating
numbness in the face and limb
severe pain
drooping eyelids
low blood pressure
thirst
tiredness or muscle weakness

The NPC was bit by a rattlesnake and probably doesn't have long to live without some intervention.


Skill Point: Fighting
Location(s): The Bifrost
Description of random event: Just when you think you can go on a cross-continent stroll in peace - Bandits! Three of the brutes have laid a carefully planned ambush on any hapless passersby and are bent on taking anything and everything they can from the poor souls!

Skill Point: Intellect
Location(s): Redbud Nook
Description of random event: A wandering trader is offering a few small accessories to anyone who can teach her an interesting new skill(unrelated to other skills). Items up for grabs include a few small necklaces, some bangles and bones used for piercings. She'll want the lesson to be an interesting one though!

Skill Point: Fighting
Location(s): The Rock Garden
Description of random event: Bear Attack: A polar bear has gone south from its usual territory and is leaving a path of destruction in its wake, it'll take some serious teamwork to bring him down

Skill Point: Hunting
Location(s): Buffalo knolls
Description of random event: Stampede: A stampede of buffalo are charging through the knolls; a great opportunity for hunters, but with an ever present chance of danger

Skill Point: Intellect
Location(s): Corpseghoul Swamplands
Description of random event: Riddle-dee-dum: A thick fog has settled over the Corpseghoul swamplands, making it almost impossible to cross; thankfully a boa constrictor is more than happy to show you a way out of the swamp, if of course you can answer three riddles

Approved - nyx

Skill Point:Iintellect, Navigation, and healing
Location(s): any wooded area
Description of random event: Fire: A chance for more than one skill point as players are forced to find a way out, help others that got burns, and find water or another safe place to wait out the flames. I'm thinking this event would be more like in sections as in first the fire starts and say only 5 participants are allowed and they must think of a plan together and find a safe place, then three-five more participants are allowed to enter to heal any of the injured.

Skill Point: Fighting
Location(s): The Boneyard
Description of random event: A group of wolves seem to have made their home in the boneyard, even if just temporarily. They look weak and half starved, but there's a lot of them, gathered in a large circle around....something. If someone is brave enough, they'll notice another wolf and two pups; the older one is clearly hurt, but still standing. It's up to whoever stumbles across the scene to decide; will they help, or leave the trio to whatever fate they may have?


Skill Point: Hunting
Location(s): Lover's Mangrove
Description of random event: An adventuring wolf is greeted by another strange wolf and his companion, a snake wrapped around his neck and shoulders. While both seem friendly, it's apparent that they're on the run from something. Quickly, he explains that he's not used to the area and needs a small meal before he can continue on his way. Although he claims that he cannot offer much, he offers tales from his homeland, and some of the lore, as a reward.

Skill Point: Healing
Location(s): Daager Isle
Description of random event: An odd creature has been washed up on shore! Some may realize that it's a big cat, but that may be the least of their worries. The creature is not breathing, but rescuing it just may be possible, if whoever stumbles across it knows the right things to do in this situation.

Skill Point: Navigation
Location(s): Gambit Briar
Description of random event: It seems that whoever's wandered in has found themselves lost! They could be on the right track, or just going around in circles. Either way, it will be their job to try and get out as fast as they can, while trying their best to avoid getting scratched up too badly.

Approved - nyx

Skill Point: Intellect
Location(s): Tar Pits
Description of random event: A thick fog has covered the area, making it difficult to even see your own paws. Wandering souls accidentally stumble into a tar pit, and must figure out how to free themselves (or others). Can they do it before time runs out? Or will they become a part of prehistoric history?

Approved - nyx

Skill Point: Hunting/Tracking
Location(s): Everywhere
Description of random event: Someone has been leaving painted rocks above buried treasures around Boreas and Auster for awhile now. No one ever thought to track down who was doing it, as the gesture was cute and something pups could do together. No one ever thought anything malicious would come of it, until the painted rocks started appearing over traps.

This could be a random event where everyone is trying to track who leaves the rocks. RNG could be used to predict whether someone uncovers a treasure or trap, or perhaps even stumble across the one leaving the rocks red handed!

After a way-too-long wait, gems have been finally handed out for this! Looking forward to implementing some of these random events! <3

Skill Point: Navigation/Fighting
Location(s):
Description of random event: Survive Environment
The characters could end up in a hostile environment which they must cross -- a desert, a jungle, or other hostile setting. In the course of the adventure they'll need to find food and water, resist the elements (blizzard, sandstorm, typhoon, hurricane, etc), and perhaps fight off attacks of the natives.

Skill Point: hunting
Location(s): Rio Grande, sunset falls, monument rapids, cedar falls
Description of random event: salmon run!
Salmon and trout have come upstream, they number in the hundreds to thousands. There is more than enough for all, granted your brave enough and quick enough.

Skill Point:hunting/fighting
Location(s): 
Description of random event: Rogue grizzly!
A grizzly has appeared! It seems to look at wolves and see food. With the possibility of death on the horizon will you be brave enough to help take down the rogue bear before it makes you into a snack?

Skill Point:hunting/fighting
Location(s): 
Description of random event: Moose mating season!
The spring has brought with it a big problem! Bull moose, dangerous and unafraid of wolves. This mammoth moose has been spotted, it's kick enough to kill a wolf should one not be careful, it seems to charge any creature near enough. Will you help bring it down or will you try to lead it to less populated areas?
