PANGAEA
A Nuisance Raptor 3 Part Adventure Game

*Optional introductory lore dump below, not a required read, but recommended for foundational purposes. This is a multilayered and evolving activity.

Legend has it that far beyond the gardens and haunted hill houses where raptors roam, an unmapped cavern system tunnels to a place we will call Pangaea. Not exactly the Pangaea of Earth’s early years, this one is rumored to be vastly different. A bit…magical, one might say. And before you roll your eyes at this claim, consider this: find the magical realm of Pangaea, ???, profit. Actually, that sounds way too vague and ominous… let me rephrase. Consider this: travel to Pangaea, document any new and exciting raptor species, earn their trust, and then reap the benefits of being one with this “Pangaea”.

I’ve convinced you now, haven’t I? Cringe storytelling aside, this realm is said to be home to very primitive raptor types. Raptors you’re not going to be able to obtain anywhere else. They’re likely to be incredibly shy and unsure of your presence, so it’s recommended you travel to this place frequently so you can build trust with the area and get these guys to open up to you. Once you’ve found it, of course.

To begin, allow me to set the stage. You’re on an expedition here! To discover the secrets of Pangaea and find yourselves a raptor worth bragging to home about. You know they exist, even if it’s only been told in whispers. So pack up what might be useful to you. Notebooks, pencils, lanterns, a magnifying glass, anything that you believe will help you on your way. The caverns are where you will begin, and bring all your friends! This will need some expert navigation skills.

Required Read Below

This activity will change and evolve over time. This will not stay the same activity. Once a goal has been met, it will start a new goal until eventually leveling out into a solidified long term activity. As of now, there are three planned stages: A navigation activity, an exploration activity, and a final long term evidence activity.

*Missing participation in the first two stages will not exclude you from participating in the final established activity. The build up just has some extra chances for raptors and fun.

Don’t be mistaken to skip out, however. The first two stages need participants to reach our collective end goal! The more participants help out in the beginning, the faster everyone can get to the bulk of this adventure!

The Caverns

Your travels begin here, at the mouth of a very large and gaping cavern. The tunnels are dark and smell of mildew and dirt, but there’s also a sense of curiosity and excitement in the air. Together, the secrets of Pangaea might just come to fruition!

Thanks to Sovngarde’s adventurer Peach, Pangea was discovered and the map has been updated to show the clearest and quickest path to this secret realm. No one has to get stuck in the dark anymore! Let’s head deeper and see what Pangea has to offer. New adventurers can join in anytime now without having to navigate the map. This game has become a passive visual feature and does not require any further participation.
