Gecko ID: 147 (Maud)
- snip

Starting Stamina: 100

As the moon rises, strange music floats through the forest. Maud stumbles upon a dazzling gathering of lizardfolk in flowing robes and shimmering masks. It’s the Lizard Masquerade, and Maud is invited… if they can prove they belong.

Lanterns hang from trees. Lizards twirl in velvet capes. Maud watches, wide-eyed, as masked figures beckon them in.

But first, one of the elders raises a claw.
“Prove your place,” they say, “in wit, in dance, or in disguise.”

Maud performs flawlessly and is welcomed into the celebration. The real question is: how will their night go?

- Coin Flip: Tails -

The elders hand Maud a silver tray. Surely this will help Maud prove their worthiness... right? They spend the night delivering drinks and dodging nobles.

Maud loses 10 Stamina from exhaustion and constant work.
Maud is paid 3 Crickets for their work
Stamina: 70

A soft, otherworldly glow pulses from a cluster of moss deep within the terrarium. It smells faintly of honey and ozone. Tiny sparkles rise into the still air.

Maud creeps forward, eyes wide. The moss shifts slightly... alive almost, but not in any way they understand. Something about this place is strange, and maybe a little dangerous.

- Coin Flip: Tails -

Maud pauses, entranced by the gentle light. They spin, tail flicking playfully, watching dust swirl like magic. But while they marvel, something else is moving.

By the time Maud snaps out of it, their cricket pouch is lighter.

Lose 2 Crickets
Stamina: 50

While admiring the light, Maud's tail brushes something damp, and breathing. The moss shudders. Tiny eyes snap open. A hidden creature was lying in wait.

- Coin Flip: Heads -

Terrarium Toadling (Aggressive)
It lunges! Maud narrowly escapes.

Lose 1 Crickets
Gain Toad Claw (Worth 5 Crickets)
Stamina: 30

Smoke coils through the trees. The glow of fire flickers in the ferns. Maud steps into the chaos. Something, or someone, might need saving.

The air is thick. Crackling flames dance along the forest floor. Maud crouches low, heart pounding. They could turn back now… but something calls them forward... a cry, a shape, a flicker of movement in the smoke.

They make their move.

- Major Success -

Maud weaves between flames with uncanny grace. The heat is unbearable, but they spot it: a trapped being, in need of help, surrounded by fire. Without hesitation, Maud swoops in and leads them to safety.

When the smoke clears, Maud has done more than survive. They've saved a life.

Gain Friend: Wild Gecko
Stamina: 10

FINAL RESULTS:
Maud returns home with a new friend and 5 crickets in his pocket!

Gecko ID: G129 (Splatathon)

Starting Stamina: 100

Suddenly, the ground begins to tremble. Hundreds of crickets swarm through the undergrowth in a loud, buzzing wave. It’s a feast, and Splatathon is ready.

Gain 5 Crickets
Stamina: 80

A soft, otherworldly glow pulses from a cluster of moss deep within the terrarium. It smells faintly of honey and ozone. Tiny sparkles rise into the still air.

Splatathon creeps forward, eyes wide. The moss shifts slightly... alive almost, but not in any way they understand. Something about this place is strange, and maybe a little dangerous.

- Coin Flip: Heads -

Splatathon steps carefully through the moss, the glow warming their feet. Their claws brush something cool and round. Splatathon digs. One cricket… then another… then another!

It’s as if the moss has rewarded them.

Gains 2 Crickets
Stamina: 60

As the moon rises, strange music floats through the forest. Splatathon stumbles upon a dazzling gathering of lizardfolk in flowing robes and shimmering masks. It’s the Lizard Masquerade, and Splatathon is invited… if they can prove they belong.

Splatathon loses 10 Stamina from exhaustion and constant work.
Splatathon is paid 6 Crickets for their work
Stamina: 30

Splatathon hears a low, rumbling hum echoing through the trees. They round a bend and find a massive, mossy tortoise-like creature trudging slowly through the clearing, barnacles and tiny anemones clinging to its weathered shell. The Shellbeast turns its wise head and speaks:
“Lend me your nimble claws, and I’ll carry you far.”

- Major Success -

Splatathon scurries across the vast shell, plucking barnacles with skill and care. The Shellbeast sighs with relief, glowing faintly as a magical ripple pulses from its shell.

Gain 1 Shellbeast’s Boon (automatically avoid a Major Loss during this adventure)
Stamina: 10

Adventure ends due to a lack of stamina to continue.

FINAL RESULTS:
Splatathon heads home with 13 Crickets in their pocket.

Stamina: 120

Colgate approaches a strange fissure in the earth. An impossibly deep vent hums with otherworldly magic. Warm wind whispers out from the dark. Something’s down there. But what?

Colgate peeks over the edge. The scent of ozone and treasure stirs in the breeze. A faint noise echoes... was that a growl… or the chime of crystal?

Do they dare to lower a claw in?

- Major Loss -

A growl rises from the depths. Colgate doesn’t wait to see more. They flee. A clawed shadow lunges after them. They escape, barely, heart pounding.

Lose 0 Crickets in the panic.

Gecko ID: G089 (Fluoride)
-snip

Starting Stamina 130

A massive bird circles silently above, its golden eye locked on Fluoride. There’s no time to think, only to act. The wind shifts. A shriek pierces the air.

Fluoride tenses.

And then... it strikes.

- Minor Success -

Fluoride ducks too slowly. The bird’s talon clips their tail, spinning them sideways. They tumble but quickly find cover in a curled leaf. The bird circles again… but gives up. It flies off, its screech fading.

Fluoride pants, tail stinging. But they're safe. Barely.

Clutched in a patch of moss nearby is a 'Sharp Feather Barb', likely lost in the scuffle.

Gains Sharp Feather Barb (Worth 3 Crickets)
Stamina: 110

Fluoride stumbles into a cool, echoing cave. The walls glint with crystals of all shapes and colors. Some are brittle and fake… but some shimmer with deep, real magic.

Fluoride creeps into the cavern, awe glowing in their eyes. Their reflection dances across jagged crystal walls. The silence hums. They reach out and grab a...

Glowchip | A faintly glowing gem. (2 crickets gained)
Stamina: 90

A faint shimmer of web stretches across the path. Fluoride freezes. A massive spider emerges from the shadows, its many eyes locked on them.

The air stills. Fluoride moves carefully, but the sticky pull of a web catches their foot. Then... a tremble above. Something massive, silent, waiting.

They only have moments to act.

- Minor Success -

Fluoride scrambles back, tearing free from the sticky strands. The spider hisses but doesn’t pursue. Fluoride gets away, heart racing.

They escape safely, and in the brush they find a 'Spider Fang Shard' (Worth 2 Crickets)
Stamina: 70

A silver mist slinks along the ground, curling around Fluoride's toes. The trees vanish into haze. This is no ordinary fog, this mist eats memories.

Fluoride pauses as the fog creeps in. Sounds dull. The path behind them fades. A strange stillness settles on the air and with it, a pull.

They press on... but can they hold on to themselves?

- Minor Loss -

Fluoride walks in circles. They forget why they came, who sent them. Eventually, instinct guides them out, but something feels... missing.

Lose 3 Crickets (forgotten, misplaced, or given away unknowingly).
Fluoride loses 10 Stamina from mental strain.
Stamina: 40

Fluoride peeks over the edge. The scent of ozone and treasure stirs in the breeze. A faint noise echoes... was that a growl… or the chime of crystal?

Do they dare to lower a claw in?

Fluoride descends cautiously. The vent shakes briefly, but they cling tight. They find a pile of old trinkets, scattered by those before them.

Fluoride finds a 'Gem Fragment' (Worth 3 Crickets)

Lottie carefully clears debris and finds nothing alive, but inside a cracked old satchel, they discover a few overlooked treasures.

Gain 1 Crickets
Stamina: 90

Lottie comes back to the mound of crumbling earth and splintered roots, the remnants of what was once a carefully dug burrow. The air is heavy with dust... and faint scratching sounds echo from deep within. She can't seem to get enough of this place... because she was definitely just here.

- Major Success -

Lottie springs into action, digging with precision and speed. Their tiny claws uncover a frightened, dust-covered gecko clutching a pouch of shiny things.

- Major Success -

Lottie breathes deeply, grounding themselves. They hum a familiar tune, claw tracing the earth with their name. The fog tries to twist them, but Lottie holds firm.
