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.

This season, we're allowing you to mix prompts! While your character may only claim one skill, you are free to team up with others working on other prompts as long as your character focuses on their skill! Have fun!


Spring, Year 15 Seasonal Skill Prompts

Fighting

Sting Operation: Spring has sprung which means new meals and new threats while getting them!
Goal: Fend off some angry bees!
Word Count: 800 (Solo) or 1500 (Group)
Location: Anywhere with honey and bees!
Tasks:
1. Engage in a fight with some angry bees
2. Why are they even angry?
3. See the fight through to the end or run away!

Hunting

Buzz Off, Beekeeper: Hunting isn't always about taking down big, strong prey animals. Sometimes you might get tangled up in something a little more.. sticky.
Goal: Collect some bees!
Word Count: 800 (Solo) or 1500 (Group)
Location: Anywhere with honey and bees!
Tasks:
1. Stumble across a beehive... or maybe you're seeking it out on purpose. Figure out whether the hive is active or not.
2. What do you do with it? Jostle it to see what comes out? Maybe you're trying to get a taste of the honey inside?
3. Show the result of your inspection. Does a wild swarm of bees chase you away? Do you capture them?
4. Profit??? Or give up! Maybe bees are useless after all!

Reward: 30 Hunting Skill Points

Healing

A Spoonful of Honey: Similar to making snowy treats, many herbs can be mixed with rare honey to make it easier to eat. Honey itself can even be used to help wounds!

Word Count: 800 (Solo) or 1500 (Group)
Location: Anywhere with honey and bees!
Tasks:
