Creating a thread for the Delta Velorum Fox's Summer. This event is held by Snowstar and the thread can be found here



Name

Velvila

Gender

Vixen

Personality

Vel is a determined, hardworking soul who will always see a task through no matter the difficulty. When the times are cold and grueling, she feels even more motivated to see it through. It's a trait that many foxes admire her for and many have came to know her in that light.

Her voice rings aloud whenever she is among the company of other foxes. Sometimes no one wants to hear what she says, but Velvila will make the decision to state it anyways. The truth and harsh thoughts must be vocalized for any sort of progress. If she feels like the problem must be stated, she has no problem being the one who says it.

She has since decided to live on the outskirts of the territory. Not banishment, but her preferred choice of solitude after a particularly tiring ordeal where she doesn't want to deal with others at the end of the day. Now, she provides a voice to the dead, so they may be heard and remembered of what they once were.

Marking for the Summer Event. All in game items bought or earned will be stored here.
The first checkpoint will be in my next post.

[SnowStar]

Checkpoint One:

After weeks of preparation and anticipation, the time has come to begin your journey! You gather your needed supplies and head out at early in the morning. You notice other foxes staying behind saying their goodbyes to friends, buying items from a rather grumpy looking fox, while other sprint ahead of you to get to the first checkpoint as quickly as possible. You pay no mind to them, each have their own plans in mind for the trip.

The day is sunny and pleasant, and time seems to fly as you reach the first checkpoint. When you reach the checkpoint you notice the trail splits. Both seem to be rather mountainous with thick forest ahead and both trails have equal opportunities. The sun is setting fast and the smell of rain is in the air, bad weather is on the way for the next checkpoint. Make camp, and choose your path in the morning. It will take you all day and arrive at the next checkpoint sometime in the middle of the night.


[]: Left Path
[]: Right Path

When the sun rose, the sky is filled with the gloomy storms clouds that were rolling in. It looks like it's going to get ugly, I hope I collected all the trinkets outside of my den, she thought absent mindedly... She shook her head to clear her thoughts. Better not get distracted now! Velvila quickly consulted her map and rushed towards the left path in hopes that the mountains can provide her cover from the rain.

Checkpoint Two:
[+11 gems for completing the first checkpoint]

You have reached the second checkpoint in the middle of the night. As you arrived thunder could be heard in the distance and it slowly begins to rain. But your slow drizzle quick turns to a heavy downpour that seems to have no end. Thunder and lightning pound around the area and the temperature is turning cold. Illuminated only by a few lightning flashes you see a small path that splits from the main trail. You can explore it and see where it leads, but you have no idea what maybe at the end.

[] Turn away from the main trail and take the side path.
[] Ignore the side path and continue to the next checkpoint.

Extra:
[] Keep warm with your cloak and protect yourself from most of the rain.
[X] Due to the lack of a cloak, you have gained a the sniffles (common cold). + 10 words to your minimum.

Her quick pace to get to get to the next campsite isn't doing her any favours. In fact, the cold feels like the are seeping into her bones even quicker. The wind is working against, pushing the rain to whip across her face, leaving the chill of the wind and rain soaked fur.

Shoot! The rain arrived more quickly than I expected, Velvila thought. I should've checked if I had my cloak! The weather was chilly to begin with and the sky was grey before I even left. It would of be no use to anyone if I caught a cold.

Taking a quick glance at the side path, she quickly forges ahead on the main trail, discarding the though to follow the side path. In this weather, there is no time to be adventurous, who knows how the rain will affect the hillsides. Hopefully, I can still traverse them in this state, the rain will no doubt leave the terrain muddy and slippery.

[] Turn away from the main trail and take the side path.
[X] Ignore the side path and continue to the next checkpoint.

Checkpoint Three:
[+9 gems for completing the checkpoint]

After some quick thinking you decide to head towards the next checkpoint rather then taking the side path. You can hear some massive lightning strikes off in the distance where the side path was leading to. It's a good this you chose to ignore it, you could have hit a dead end. The rain continues to pour down but as dawn arrives thankfully it begins to slow down and eventually halt.

By the time you reach the next checkpoint the rain has completely stopped and some areas have already started to dry out - it's a good opportunity to get a little rest and catch your breath here. As you catch your breath you see another side path leading away from the main trail. This one seems to be much longer compared to the last one, and you can hear wildlife off in the distance.

[] Ignore Side Path and continue ahead to the next checkpoint
[] Take the side path and see where it will lead.

"Ahchoo!" Shoot! I can't get sick now, I have only just started my journey. At least the rain has lightened up. She thought.

Shivering from the remains of the fleeting storm and soaked to the bone, yet Velvila is glad that the storm has passed over. After warming up, she set off on a quick pace, until she sniffed out another side path. She can smell herbs of all sorts and possibly game,

Now that the rain is gone, maybe it won't be so bad to explore the area. She contemplated. I guess it wouldn't hurt! Maybe I can find some herbs to treat my cold. After that weather, it would be nice to snack on something.

(Am I able to buy a dagger here? Or would I have to wait for a legitimate campsite with a store to buy it?)
