Seasonal Skill Prompts - Fall, Year 19

Seasonal Skill Prompts

Skill Prompts are a monthly feature that allow your character to gain skills in different ways. Each character can only complete ONE prompt per season, and can be completed either in a solo post or in a group thread. You cannot claim these posts for other skill points! Please note that as long as you complete the objectives, you're free to be creative with your posts and have some fun with these prompts!

For solo posts, you must complete the entire prompt in one post. Of course, you can use these posts as thread starters and continue the thread as usual, but no other skills may be claimed by you from that thread.

For group threads, the word count is cumulative and will be counted over all participants. However, participants must be ACTIVELY trying to complete the skill prompt for their words to count. Note that group threads have a maximum of 3 allowed participants unless otherwise specified.

Navigation

Strange Phenomena: You more than anyone else seem to be noticing something is off, there are strange lights appearing near the peaks of mountains, standing water levels seem to be fluctuating weirdly and rivers sometimes look like they're flowing in the wrong direction, parts of the ground seem to be tilting gently in ways you've never seen before, you hear a sort of muffled banging from beneath the ground and occasionally you even feel the earth move slightly under your paws, nothing strong enough to knock you over. What is happening here?

Goal: Use your knowledge of the continent to note the changes around you

Intellect

Like the Tide: Well that's strange... While walking near the coast you noticed something that catches your eye, the tide is out. That by itself wouldn't be worth noting but it's usually high tide right now and you've never seen the water pull back this far from the shore. Better investigate.

Goal: Observe the strange behaviour of the sea
Word Count: 800 (Solo) or 1500 (Group)
Location: Any coast on Auster
Tasks:

1. Notice the usual tide
2. Investigate the shore for any signs of the cause

BONUS PROMPT- Healing / Navigation

Only one bonus prompt per PLAYER allowed each season. A character can only complete ONE prompt a season, whether it be a bonus prompt or a regular prompt, unless otherwise specified.

High Risk, High Reward: With all the strange phenomena setting everyone on edge you decide it might be worth taking a bit of a risk and trying to get a rare herb or two, the only problem is that it grows somewhere you really don't want to fall off of. Time to use your understanding of the lay of the land to your advantage, just don't look down!

Goal: Climb up or down somewhere dangerous to get a rare herb
Word Count: 800 (Solo) or 1500 (Group)

Tasks:

1. Identify what rare herb you want to get and where it can be found
2. Navigate your way through the treacherous terrain to find your prize
3. Get to your destination, do you find your herb or did you break a leg getting there?

Reward: 30 Healing and 30 Navigation skill points!

Redeem prompts as usual in skill claims!
