C20 Jousting Arena

Celebrating the One Year Anniversary of the Kingdom
Jousting Arena (cool thing about this asset is that it'll change visually when you update it)
& Aggwynn joined the TeamLava Forum discussions!

[Old Thomas talks to Ruler]

OT: Hello! Would you be interested in helping me with something?
Ruler: Of course! What do you need?
OT: In honor of our Kingdom's One Year Anniversary, I think we should do something!
Ruler: Wow, one full year has gone by! What did you have in mind?
OT: I would like to sketch you showing off your beautiful sword for our history scroll!
Ruler: I actually just swing it around wildly, but ok, let's do it!

(Ruler>Let's beat up a monster hiding in our crops so Thomas can sketch us!
One Year Anniversary *beat up monster* Ruler>That's how it's done! )

Thurston: Splendid display of swordplay, my liege!
Ruler: Thurston, I'm actually not trained. I call it... focused swinging!
Thurston: This can't be true! Surely you're jousting me!
Ruler: You mean, joshing you?
Thurston: Speaking of jousting, wouldst thou grant me the permission of throwing a jousting tournament in your honor?
Ruler: Great idea, Thurston! But let's make it a friendly bonding tournament for our Kingdom's One Year Anniversary!

(Ruler>Let's approve Thurston's great idea!
Just Jousting You! *Request Approved* Ruler>There we go! )

IVY: A Jousting Tournament? Did I hear that right?
Ruler: You bet!
IVY: I remember attending one back in my last Kingdom.
Ruler: Really? I've never seen one before. What's it like?
IVY: Well, I didn't exactly see it. They kicked me out for having a Skunku-pie in the stand.
Ruler: Yeah... let's make you a hearty feast to enjoy during the tournament instead.

(Ruler>Let's make a hearty feast for all to enjoy while watching the tournament!
Preparing The Heart Ruler>Hooray! Food and drink for all!)

OT: I overheard the Chefs talking as fast as the chop about a Jousting Tournament!
Ruler: What were you doing at the Kitchen? Were you trying to hide snacks in your robe again?
OT: I tried to, but they caught me...
Ruler: Oh Thomas, you know you can't have too many strawberry shortcakes!
But yes, there is a tournament that Thurston is leading the efforts for.
OT: How grand! Even more grand if we follow the building instructions found in scroll J872! Now where is it...

(OT>Scroll J872 should be at my house. Come, come, let's locate this Grand Jousting Arena blueprint.
Rumor Has It *ruler finds scroll* OT>What great eyes you have!)

OT: Maybe I should eat more carrots and less strawberries. Better for the eyes they say!
Ruler: I think so too. And they're just as sweet!
OT: Yes, yes! Not, let's unroll this scroll and start the preparations for this grand Jousting Arena!
I haven't been this excited since we build the Library!
Ruler: Something more interesting than a Library? Now I have to see this blueprint!

(OT> Gather the materials we'll need from various craft masters in our Kingdom! Hurry, there is no time to lose!
Thomas' Grand Blueprint OT>Great job! Now, let's see here...)

OT: Oh dear...
Ruler: That doesn't sound good. What's wrong?
OT: I don't understand the blueprint as well as I thought.
Ruler: That's ok. I'm sure there are craft masters at the Tavern that can help us.
OT: The Tavern folk are a rough and loud bunch, it's no place for someone like me.
Ruler: Don't worry, Thomas. If we come bearing gifts of things they'll like, I'm sure they'll hear us out!

(Ruler> I don't know much about crafter etiquette but I do know it's always polite to have a gift when asking for a favor!
Tavern Etiquette Ruler>Now everyone is happy!)

OT: How did you negotiate like that? Most wonderful display of rulery-ness!
Ruler: Umm... Is that even a word, Thomas?
OT: It is now!
Ruler: Ok, I'll take it. Thank you.
OT: I suppose that's all we can do for now. I hope everyone else's preparations are ready too!
Ruler: I hope so as well! I'm excited for my first Jousting Tournament.

(Ruler>Now, the waiting game. Jousting Materials List
*waiting for everyone else to be ready* Ruler>*tick-tock-tick-tock*)

IVY: You wanna know what realllllly gets a crowd going?
Ruler: What?
IVY: Sugar!
Ruler: A hyper and happy crowd sounds like a good idea!
IVY: We can use this recipe I have. It'll keep everyone bouncing off the walls for days!
Ruler: I think Ice Cream will do just fine, Ivy.

(Ruler>Let's prepare some Ice Cream for the crowd. A sweet and refreshing dessert!
I Scream For Ice Cream Ruler>We all scream for ice cream!)

IVY: We got a Hearty Feast as our main course and Ice Cream for dessert.
Ruler: Think it'll be enough?
IVY: Maybe not, but I know a bite of Skunku-pie is super filling!
Ruler: Ivy!
IVY: Alright, alright. One of these days I'll sneak it past you and you'll say "Yes, Ivy! I would love a slice!"
Ruler: Not a chance!

(Ruler>Let's check with Thurston and see if he needs anything else.
Skunku-pie Free Event * on way to Thurston's fort* Ruler>I hope he's not overly stressed out!)

[at Thurston's Fort]
Thurston: My liege! What brings you here?
Ruler: We're here to help you with the tournament preparations!
Thurston: There's no need for you to help!
For rule 42 of The Knight's Code states: "No Ruler shall aid in any heavy duty lifty work!"
Ruler: We already have everything done.
Thurston: Ah! Why! You shouldn't have.
Thank you. Thou art the most graceful ruler I have ever met.

(Ruler>Hand off the food and dessert to Thurston! Jousting Food List
*waiting for everyone else to be ready* Ruler>*tick-tock-tick-tock*

Ruler: Ok, let's go down the list and see what we got.
OT: We have the materials for construction and the blueprint for the grand Jousting Arena ready.
IVY: I got the food ready to go too!
Ruler: Great! Thurston? Shall we get this started?
Thurston: Aye, my liege!

(Ruler>Preparations are all ready to go! Let's plan our Jousting Arena!
Putting It All Together Thurston>I'll do my best! )

Thurston: Huzzah! Now we can begin the best part! Construction!
Ruler: Hooray! If we all work together we'll get this Jousting Arena built in no time!
Thurston: Indeed, my liege! Rule 43 of The Knight's Code states:
"All brave knights must work day and night until the ruler's request has been fulfilled!"
Ruler: Geez... let's not do that. Attention all! No one is allowed to work "day and night"!
Thurston: Rah Rah! To That!

(Thurston>Even though the ruler has gratefully exempt me from my knightly code, I won't disappoint!
The Jousting Arena *getting ready for some fun!*

Thurston: I have a request!
Ruler: What is it, Thurston?
Thurston: May I joust in your honor?
Ruler: Sure! That would be great!
Thurston: Wow... that was... easy. Usually I'm rejected for these sorts of things.
Ruler: Not here! You're the best knight in all of Glimmerwood!
Thurston: Thank you for the kind words.

(Thurston>I, Sir Thurston get to joust in honor of the Ruler!
I'll need armor that will allow me to move swiftly!
For Glimmerwood! *Armor ready* Thurston>I won't fail you!)

Ruler: What's wrong Thurston?
Thurston: ...
Ruler: ... ?
Thurston: My deepest apologies, my liege. It seems to be I have the case of cold metal feet!
Ruler: You mean, the case of cold feet? Hey, where are you running off to?

(Ruler>I don't think he realized he's not that fast with all that armor on him.
Cold Metal Feet * at the Tavern* Thurston>I'm afraid I may embarrass you. )

Ruler: Thurston! Why did you run off?
Thurston: Deepest apologies, my liege. I can't fulfill the great honor you have given me to fulfill the great honor?
Ruler: I think you had one too many root beers.
Thurston: Nay! For rule 500 and 72 of The Knight's Code states:
"Every Knight may have as ma-many rooty-beers their shiny heart so *burp* desires!"
Ruler: Even that rule sounds like it had one too many root beers.
You'll do fine! If you do your best, that's all that matters to me.

(Ruler>Poor Thurston, let's cheer him up.
Rooty Beers *take away the root beer from Thurston*
Thurston>Woe is me.)

IVY: Poor Thurston. He needs a chill potion. Or two.
Ruler: Do you have a recipe for that?
IVY: Sure do! You want me to make it?
Ruler: Is it made out of Skunkupines and Trolls?
IVY: You bet! I'll use only the best ingredients if that's what you're worried about.
Ruler: I feel bad, but maybe it'll do him some good. Can you make it while I give him a pep talk?

(ivy>Some of this and that. But don't forget the sugar! We need it to mask the smell!
Chill Out Potion ... rat tails, troll essences, and lots of sugar*
Ruler>Pee-ew! I hope the sugar helps!)

IVY: Alright! Now *I'm* excited for this tournament.
Ruler: Are you sure it has nothing to do with this "Chill Out" potion you're about to make?
IVY: Okay... maybe just a bit. A teensy bit. But really! It's about the tournament.
Ruler: Uh huh.
IVY: If it weren't for the tournament, I wouldn't be able to make this potion. So... yeah!
Ruler: I guess that logic works... why not!

(Ruler>Let's brew this at Ivy's House since we kinda don't want to contaminate our kitchen!
Souspine Chef Ivy *brewing at Ivy's Hut* ivy>He won't suspect a thing!)

IVY: Wait! You're going to need to dress us as a tough smelly knight.
Ruler: What? What will that do?
IVY: I don't know. Pretend to be this super duper knight and get him to drink the potion!
Ruler: A trick in a trick. Who have I become.

*Clink Clank* This suit of armor smells so bad...

Smelly knight: You thar, brave knight! Why the long helmet?
Thurston: Dear knight, I am sad to inform you that I am no knight.
Smelly knight: RARR! How do you mean, you are wearing armor... are you not?
Thurston: I may as well be naked and booted! The ruler deserves a more fearless knight... like thee!
Smelly knight: Non-sense. Take this here potion. Strength of... uh... 300 Knights!
Now chug this and go! Your... liege... is waiting.
Thurston: Say it isn't so! Surely no such thing exists!
But you look tough... tougher than me. Here goes nothing... 3,2,1, bottoms up!

(Thurston> Tilt head fully back and chug, you say? Aye!
300 Knights
Thurston>BLERGHH! WHAT IS THIS? )

IVY: I uh, forgot to tell you. A common side effect is fainting from the smell.
Ruler: Ivy! How can you forget that! THURSTON! ... Oh! He's waking up! THURSTON!
Thurston: I feel... STRONG! And FEARLESS! RAH!
Ruler: How are you feeling?
Thurston: My liege! Come watch me hustle everyone off their mount!
IVY: Yay! Yay! Let's go!
Ruler: He chugged a Skunkupine potion, fainted, and now he's off to joust. I guess this potion works.

(ivy>Whoo hoo! Let's go watch him joust in your honor!
The First Match. Thurston> Did you see me?!!)

OT: My! What a splendid display of knightly-ness!
IVY: Great job, Thurston! Do you feel... off anywhere at all?
Ruler: Ivy! There are more side effects?!
IVY: Shouldn't be!

*Do-Do-Do-Doo!* What a stupendous show of determination!
We're in the process of making it tougher, stay tuned!

(Ruler>It looks like they're making it tougher for the next round.
Let's take a breather while it's being renovated.
Intermission One *look, it's different now that it's renovated!*
Ruler>Sweet, look at that!)

*Do-Do-Do-Doo!* And we're back! All brave jousters, please report to the arena!
Ruler: Hooray! You ready, Thurston?
IVY: You sure you're all right?
Thurston: Thank you for your deep concerns, but I assure you I am fine. I feel as sharp as mightily steel!
Ruler: Ok. Let us know if you feel funny.

*Do-Do-Do-Doo!* Spectators, please take your seats! We will begin soon!

(OT>Look at that entrance! Hooray, Thurston!
The Second Match.
ivy>Whoo hoo! You got em', Thurston!)

Ruler: Congratulations! I saw everything, you were amazing!
Thurston: Thank you. If it weren't for your loud cheering I wouldn't have won!
OT: Your riding style reminds me of the great Sir Knight Wren from the legends in my scrolls!
Thurston: I am unworthy of such kind praises, Sir Thomas!
IVY: Shhhs there's an announcement!

*Do-Do-Do-Doo!* Once again, Sir Thurston showed us all how it's done!
But, let's not get ahead of ourselves! We got one final match to go! Hang tight!

(ivy>Final round coming up! Are you sure you don't want a bite of this Skunkupie?
Intermission Two *arena's even more robust after renovations! Ruler>Whoa, that looks tough!)

*Do-Do-Do-Doo!* Ladies and Gentlemen of Glimmerwood, are you ready?!
Please return to the Jousting Arena, you won't want to miss this!

Ruler: Hooray! You ready, Thurston?
IVY: Remember, you're as slick as that Knightly Knight guy Thomas spoke of!
OT: Ah! You mean Sir Knight Wren!
IVY: Yeah, him! Just be him! But with the strength of 300 other knights!

*Do-Do-Do-Doo!* Ladies and Gentlemen of Glimmerwood! Make lots of noise!!

(ivy>Final round! Quick, let's make up a cheer for him!
The Final Match *cheering on Thurston* Ruler>You did it, you did it! )

Ruler: He won! He won! Congratulations, Thurston!

*Do-Do-Do-Doo!* Ladies and Gentlemen of Glimmerwood!
We declare Sir Thurston the CHAMPION of our first Jousting Tournament!

Thurston: I couldn't have done this without the blessings of the great ruler!
IVY: D'aww... isn't that adorable.

*Do-Do-Do-Doo!* And this concludes our One Year Anniversary celebration!
Thank you all for your support!

Thurston: Me! A champion! This is unreal, thank you for believing in me!
OT: For the following week, everyone will call you Champion Thurston!

(OT>Today is a glorious day! This event deserves a spot in the royal archives!
Champion Thurston * I dub thee, Champion Thurston! *
Ruler>Happy One Year, Glimmerwood!

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY CASTLE STORY!

C20 Kingdom Inn

OT: Ah! We received a letter from Kingdom Polaris!
Ruler: What does it say?
OT: It says here we're invited to visit their Kingdom anytime this month.
Ruler: That's very nice of them! Are we going?
IVY: Ooh, I say we should. I love their snowy recipes!
Shall we ask our neighbors if they're going as well?
OT: Good idea, Ivy! ... Oh no, no, no...
IVY: I know what that means. What's wrong?
OT: If we're to visit another Kingdom, that means they'll visit us, too! Where shall our guests stay?

(OT>Let's ask our neighboring Kingdoms if they're making this trip as well. If so, we should all travel together!
It's far safer and merrier to travel as a group! While we wait for their reply, let's build our inn.
Holiday Invitation *Are you going to Polaris?*
OT>Hooray, we got some replies!)

Ruler: Hmm. Looks like we'll have to divide and conquer a bit here. We'll have to build our inn AND find time to visit Polaris!
OT: Wait! According to the Polarian Culture scroll, before we visit we must first send gifts.
And if they gift us back, it means they're ready for us to visit. This is part of Polarian culture!
(ivy>Let's gift them things that are special to us here in Glimmerwood. I bet they never had any of our delicious food!
I think they'll enjoy a palette change from their usual dishes up north!
Best Gift Of All Time ivy>"Best of all time" for sure.)

Ruler: I guess we should work on our inn while we wait for the gifts to be wrapped up.
So umm... our inn looks pretty awful right now.
OT: Oh dear... ah! I'm so stressed out that I'm hand wringing!

(ivy>Umm? I'm not sure what that means, but ok. I'll take it that you're so stressed out that you don't know what to do.
Kingdom Inn *We'll need lots of rooms!* ivy>Not bad, now our inn has some rooms.)

Ruler: Ok, we got everything wrapped up and ready to go!
OT: Yes indeed! Let's have our knights travel there first bearing gifts. We will visit Polaris with them on the second trip.
IVY: Hurry up! I got my Skunkupine coat ready! I've been looking for a chance to wear it!
Ruler: Umm... you wear Skunkupine now?
IVY: You betcha! You'll and one too when you feel how cold it is!
Ruler: Thanks, but no thanks. I rather freeze than wear that.

(OT>Be sure to wear lots of layers! The winters are harsh up north, stay warm.
To Polaris North! *Have a Holiday Feast before you go* OT>Do remember the greetings!)

OT: Our knights are back! With gifts from Polaris!
IVY: Ohh, ooh! Are my wish list items in the wagon?
Ruler: What kind of wood is this? I smells really good!
IVY: Those would be Polarian Logs! Smells festive, yeah?
OT: They gifted us back with their signature logs! This is their way of welcoming us!

(OT>You know what would be a splendid idea? If we built our inn with Polarian Logs!
It would smell so festive. We can get more Polarian Logs from adventures to Polaris North.
Inn My Dreams *Let's expand our Inn!*
OT>It's truly cozy. Might I have another cup of hot chocolate please?)

IVY: I like it but what if we build it slightly twisting to the right?
Ruler: How do you mean?
IVY: Kind of like my sister's twisted tree home. Don't look it, but it has a lot of room inside!
(ivy>Trust me on this, I know what I'm doing.
Just leave it to me, like how you leave it to me to make delicious Skunku-pies!
Extreme Makeover *We'll need a little more wood*
ivy> I know, I know, don't hold your applause for me!)

Ruler: I'm glad you're my Royal Council, Thomas! This Inn will be a great addition to our Kingdom.
OT: It is a great honor, truly! I will serve you for as long as you wish.

(OT>A good and true ruler is rare. You surely are an exceptional ruler indeed!
This Kingdom Inn will further prove your worthiness.
VIP *Then we'll be visitor ready!*
OT>Ooh! I feel like a VIP!)

Ruler: Whoa! We're done! Let's hold a grand opening event to celebrate! Then, we will open this place up to visitors!
OT: Splendid decision! Let's make the preparations for this plan.
(OT>Let's reveal our hard work to everyone in the Kingdom!
We'll need drums and fireworks to celebrate our grand opening!
Fall On Inn *Oooh, fancy!*
OT>Welcome, welcome to the Kingdom Inn! )

We are now ready for our visitors from Kingdom Polaris!

The Baron: Why the frown whenever you see me? Greet your King with love and affection!
Ruler: That's a larger entourage than usual. Are you finally packing up and moving far, far away?
The Baron: Funny. Like a royal jester, indeed!
Have you considered abandoning your Kingdom to join my royal circus?
Ruler: ...
The Baron: On to real matters. I'm here to offer you and your band of peasants a miracle!

C20 Pet Skunkupine

===*===
Royal Proclamation!
The Friendly Skunkupine
Ivy has always wanted a pet Skunkupine.
Complete the latest quest line to see what
You can do for her!
===*===

Ivy: Ever wonder what it would be like to have a pet Skunkupine?
Ruler: Nope... but I'm sure you have.
Ivy: Sure do! All the time! But it's a bummer they're so aggressive...
A girl can't cuddle something that could claw her face!
Ruler: But you work with potions all day... that often explode.
Ivy: That's nothing compared to a Skunkupine. Have you seen their claws?!
Ruler: Sharp and dangerous. One ripped through my leather tunic once.
Ivy: I wonder if we can find a friendly one.
Ruler: You didn't hear anything I just said, huh?

(ivy>Not really. I got a one track mind when I'm really into something.
Come on, help me find a friendly Skunkupine! I can't fight one off if
I run into a meanie. Let's check our Crops and Flowers.
A Friendly Skunkupine ivy>Oh... a baby Skunkupine without a mommy...)

Ivy: A baby Skunkupine! But where is the mommy?
Skunkupines always guard their young.
Ruler: I think this Skunkupine is without a family because of me?
Ivy: But look, it's a different color. Maybe it was abandoned for being different.
Ruler: Maybe... either way, I still feel bad this baby is without a family.
Ivy: If you're feeling guilty... we should take this little one home?
Ruler: I see what you did there.

(ivy>What? It works out for both of us! I'll get a pet, and you can clear your conscience!
Wait, what do you mean I can't keep it... I guess my Skunku-pies would scare it?
Really Didn't Mean To ivy>No on wants to take this little cutie in...)

Ivy: Since nobody wants to take this cutie in, let me! C'mon!
Ruler: No way! You'll scare the poor thing.
Maybe if we offer a coin reward someone will help us.
Ivy: Wait, why don't you just take him in?
Ruler: I'm not confident I'll do a good job. I've never raised anything before.

(ivy>Sound fair enough. Better to have this baby around structure and foundation in its early years.
How Can You Be So Heartless? *any takers?* ivy>Nada! C'mon, why is everyone so heartless?)

OT: Dear Ruler, I'm not a heartless old man! I just simply cannot champion this task.
I house far too many books. I'm afraid a young Skunkupine might damage them...
Ruler: It's ok, Old Thomas. I understand.
Thurston: Ah, my liege! Task me! A loyal knight like me will conquer any problem you don't want to.!
Ruler: (Doh! I was hoping he wouldn't ask. But I can't say no now... that would break his heart... )
Ok. Thank you, Thurston.

(ivy>I think they'll be fine. Thurston is a trusty knight... ...
Ok, we should go over there every few hours or so to see how he's doing.
A Thurston Foundation *how's it going* ivy>He looks... dehydrated.)

Ruler: Thurston.. Have you been feeding the baby Skunkupine?
Thurston: Such a foul beast deserves not food.
Ivy: Newsflash! We're trying to raise this Skunkupine as our own!
Thurston: My sovereign, this is a dangerous task! Don't let the recolor magic fool you!
Ruler: This baby Skunkupine is without a family. We should give it a place in our Kingdom.
We welcome everyone, no matter how different they are.
Thurston: As my liege commands.

(ivy>Whoo hoo! Glad we are all on-board now.
Let's supply Thurston with all the things he needs to care for a baby Skunkupine.
Daddy Thurston ivy>D'aww isn't that adorable.)

Thurston: Ahhh! Foul beast! You stop that right this instant!
Ivy: Hey, who are you calling a foul beast? Aww... come here, baby.
He's just being a big grouch.
Thurston: A color change can't pull the wool over my eyes!
It's just as foul as a regular Skunkupine!
It ruined all of my armor, made my room smelly, and destroyed my yard!
Ivy: Oh he just needs some obedience training is all.
Don't you? Oooh you're so cute *muah muah muah*
Thurston: ...
(ivy>If we're going to start obedience training, we'll need a leash.
Skunkupines are known for their sharp claws and teeth. Our leash must be super strong!
Obedience Training ivy>Let the training begin!)

Thurston: Gadzooks and zounds! The foul beast is gone!
It ate through the leash like sorcery! What do I do? The Ruler will be most displeased...
[Hours later]
Ivy: Hello? Anyone home?
Thurston: No! Go away!
Ivy: ... Thurston, open up. I know you're in there.
[Thurston opens the door]
Thurston: Ivy.
Ivy: Thurston.
Thurston: ...
Ivy: Why are you acting so weird? Where's the baby Skunkupine?
Thurston: Here it is.
Ivy: Umm... that's just a bunch of towels rolled up to look like
a Skunkupine. Thurston...?
Thurston: I lost the beast! Please don't tell the Ruler I have failed the Ruler!
Ivy: Don't be so dramatic! Get it together!
Thurston: FAILURE! Rule 928 Of The Knight's Code states: "All failures must--
Ivy: THURSTON! If you don't get it together, I'm going to TELL the Ruler.
Thurston: Please don't! I will do anything you say!
Ivy: That's more like it. Now help me find the runaway!

(ivy>Now think! If you were a Skunkupine, where would you be?
Gnawed Out *check wheat, flowers, trees* ivy>There you are, my precious!)

Thurston: Zounds! There's the monster!
Ivy: Poor baby, you're hurt.
[Back at Thurston's Fort]
Ivy: He's finally asleep.
So it turns out the other Skunkupines in the wild attacked him.
Thurston: Skunk tongue! Are you a Skunkupine whisperer?!
Ivy: No, it's pretty obvious what happened.
His coat of fur is a different color, AND he's been around humans.
Reminds me of when I was chased out for being different too...
Thurston: You're safe here! The Ruler has a heart as clear as the great Knight Wren's sword, Oathkeeper.
Ivy: If you get that, then why can't you accept the Skunkupine?
Thurston: But... but... it's a beast!
Ivy: Beast, Shmeast!

(ivy>Thurston can be so stubborn.
It's going to take some time before ANYONE can talk some sense into him.
I don't have a pre-made ointment for our baby Skunkupine.
Let's ask our neighbors if they can spare us a bit.
You Can't Sit With Us *ask for Ointment* ivy>Sharing is caring!)

Ivy: Come on, please? It'll make you feel better.
Thurston: Miss Ivy, I don't think the little beast wants the ointment.
IVY: Can you stop calling him that? You're making him sad
Thurston: Errm...
IVY: I remember when I was a little sapling my sister Belladonna would trick me
into taking medicine when I was sick by masking it with loads of sugar.

(ivy>He's gonna get a sugar rush, so be ready for that!
A Spoonful of Syrup *give syrup, strawberries, magic fruit* ivy>See, isn't that delicious?

Ruler: How's everyone doing?
Thurston: Errm... Uhh...
IVY: We lost the little booger but he's back home safe and sound now.
Ruler: What happened?
IVY: I realized as much as I would love to keep him, Skunkupines are meant to live freely outdoors.
Ruler: Won't he just run away if we let him out?
Thurston: *cough cough*
IVY: Hahaha... you don't have to worry about that.
Ruler: What's wrong Thurston? You've been acting weird.
Thurston: Nothing, my liege! I just choked on my saliva is all! (Thank you, Miss Ivy.)
IVY: (No worries.)
Ruler: (I feel like I'm missing something.)

(ivy>Let's have a small party and play with... oh. We never named him.
How about? Pepe le Skunkupine? Young, Wild, and Free
*Let's teach him to Rollover!* ivy>What trick should we teach next? Play dead?

Pepe le Skunkupine- A cute and friendly Skunkupine.
Pet it to see what items it found for you!

C20 Pink Alicorn

===*===
Royal Proclamation!
The Pink Alicorn is here!
The fabled Pink Alicorn has been
Sighted beaming love from above!
Ivy and Old Thomas are making
Pink Horns and Wings to summon
one into the Kingdom.
Don't miss out on the fun!
===*===

Ruler: Shoot, I'm late to Old Thomas' history lessons about the realm.
I wish history was more fun to absorb...

[At Old Thomas' House]
OT: Ah, there you are! Later than usual.
Ruler: Sorry about that. I'll be better with time next week.
OT: That's the spirit!
For today, I would like to study something else.
Related to the realm, to be sure.
We're going to take a loo at mythical beasts!
Ruler: Really?!
OT: Hohoho, I knew that would brighten the eyes!

[After some time...]
Ruler: Did you spill strawberry juice all over this page?
OT: Not at all! That is the fabled pink Alicorn!
Ruler: Did they really exist? How do we see a pink one?
OT: Summoning a legendary Alicorn is already close to impossible!
A pink one will surely not appear in this lifetime.

(OT>Let's continue our lessons, shall we?
Rumors Start Somewhere *study mythical beasts at OT house*
OT> I see this lesson has captured your imagination!)

OT: As your royal council, I beg you to not get
caught in the web of these fabled tales.
Ruler: But is says here the great Knight Wren once saw a Pink Alicorn.
And all the history books cite him as the most honourable knight.
So it might be true!
OT: Yes... ... but...
Ivy: Ha! You got nothing to say to that now, do ya!
Ruler: Hey Ivy. Do you know anything about the Pink Alicorn?
Ivy: Sorta. Kinda. Maybe? What do you need to summon a regular Alicorn?
OT: Sacred Horns and Sacred Wings. But those items are truly legendary!
Ivy: Then... let's craft our own *Pink* Horn and *Pink* Wing.
OT: Miss Ivy, I do not believe things work this way...
Ivy: It's always worth a shot! Besides, what's wrong with a funny story to share if this fails?

(ivy> To make a Pink Horn as epic as it can be, we're going to need super special pink jewels.
I heard the merchants are auctioning a Large Pink Sapphire. If we can get our hands on it,
we can grind it down for a bunch of tiny crystals! Let's make a bid for it.
Auction War for the Pink Sapphire ivy> Alright! Lets grind this down for crystals!)

OT: Oh dear...this just won't work. The horn is not going to hold a candle to the true Sacred Horn!
Ruler: So... we're going to cover our *fake* horn with *rare* Pink Sapphire Crystals?
Ivy: What is with all the questions?! C'mon, let's have fun with this.
And if we end up not supposing anything, we'll have a pretty awesome theater prop.
Ruler: I guess that's better than leaving this jewel around for the Baron to take away from us.
Ivy: That's more like it! Now let's make a Lathe to help us create this epic Pink Horn!

(ivy> If you have the Large Pink Sapphire, head over to the Workshop to grind it into a bunch of tiny crystals!
If you missed out on the bid, we can still find the pink jewels we need through rocks and checking our Mines!
Faux Real? ivy>Always look on bright side, folks!)

Ivy: Come on, Old Thomas. Don't be a party pooper.
OT: I will do my best to get in the spirit of things.
Ivy: That's more like it!
OT: I must ask, Miss Ivy. How do we craft the legendary Sacred Wing?
Ivy: Feathers, Super Glue... and some sort of epic frame for the wing?
Pink. And a ton of pink.
OT: Errrm...

Ruler: Aside from being pink, do we know anything else about this particular Pink Alicorn?
OT: Hmm... I shall look into that for you.
Ivy: Just our luck! The trappers just came back from a successful game!
They're at the Market bartering their goods.
Let's trade for Feathers. If they accept, we'll be more than half way done!
OT: The Market is no place for an old man like me. I will meet you at the library!

(ivy>A bag of their feathers will get us more than halfway through crafting our wing.
But if we miss out, we can still craft the feathers slowly over time.
Bartering for Feathers ivy>Great work, team! We secured the Feathers!)

Ivy: I'm growing more and more excited!
Next we'll need to make the wing frame. Once that's created, we'll attach pink feathers to it!
Ruler: Just tell me what to do. You're leading the charge on this.

Ruler: Old Thomas, have you learned anything new about the fabled Pink Alicorn?
OT: I had to ask my dear friend Agnes about this. She said--
Ivy: Oooh, your *friend* Agnes, huh?
OT: Errm...
According to a short poem written by Knight Wren... it goes:

Goddess Solaire, am I bewitched? There can be no such thing as a colored Alicorn!
As if kissed by the Lady Finverra herself, the mane glistens as a hundred maiden faeries.
A chance sighting, so true and innocent. Tell me, sweet Alicorn, from where did you come?
And like nature's ephemeral beauty, the bashful Alicorn fled with childlike grace,
never to be seen again.

Ruler: That was a beautiful reading, thank you for sharing it with us.

(Ivy>Are we even sure this Alicorn is pink?!
Lady Finverra could have had green, blue, or purple lips for all we know!
And this is why I'm not a fan of poems, they're too hard to decipher!
What Color Was Lady Finverra's Lips ivy>If you squint it doesn't look so bad.)

Ruler: so we have the *epic* Pink Horn and Pink Wing.
What else do we need to summon the Pink Alicorn?
Ivy: Beats me.
Ruler: Hmm...
Ivy: What...about... a... rainbow... ... ... ?
Ruler: ...
Ivy: Any objections?
Ruler: I guess not.
Ivy: A rainbow it is!
Ruler: In addition to a fake sacred horn and wing, we're also going to fake an entire rainbow.
Ivy: Yup! I learned a cool trick to making rainbows when I was a sapling.
We'll need A LOT of Enchanter's Essences.
Let's trade the apothecary for some.

(ivy> The apothecaries are a fickle bunch...
They are willing to trade us 10 Enchanter's Essences. But they're going to make us work for it.
Mercurial Apothecaries ivy>You're great at wheeling and dealing!)


Ivy: Don't look at me like I'm ruining your childhood...
Ruler: The things we'll do to see a Pink Alicorn. That we're not even sure is pink. Or real.
Ivy: Geez, I didn't know the Baron came and sucked out the fun!

(Baron: AHH-CHOO! *sniffles* Hmm... why does it feel like someone is talking about me?)

Ruler: Ok, ok, ok. Let's keep moving along. We're almost there anyways.
Tell us more about creating a rainbow.
Ivy: We'll need some Water, a Prism, some light, and magic!
Old Thomas, you don't happen to have a Prism, do ya?
OT: Oh dear, I'm afraid not...
Ivy: Where could we find one?
OT: They are truly rare indeed. I believe they can be found in one of three places.
The Dark Cave Formations, the Deep Mines and the Sparkling Mines.

(Ivy> We're going to have to get down and dirty! Let's mine some Dark Cave Formations and
check the Deep Mines and Sparkling Mines regularly. A Prism will pop out eventually!
Follow the Rainbow to Find... ivy>Help me carry our Rainbow Kit to some place sunny...)

Ivy: We got everything! *Waves around the objects*
OT: Careful Miss Ivy! They may not be legendary, but we did put hard work into them.
Ivy: I know, I know. I'm just too excited!
Ruler: So... what do we do? Lay the items down and then create a rainbow over them?
Ivy: Sure, we can try that.
Ruler: That was a question...
Ivy: Like any of us knows the answer. Let's try it and see what happens.
Ruler: Ok, how about here where the grass is really green?
OT: Ooh, I'm getting sweaty from the thought of a Pink Alicorn!

(ivy>Ready? Maybe we should all make some sort of musical chant.
Don't look at me like that! This isn't even THAT weird compared to what we did so far!
Moment of Truth ivy>Goddess Solaire! Am I seeing things?)

Neiiiiighhh!
OT: *rubs glasses with robe* Goddess Solaire!
Ruler: I can't believe we are seeing a Pink Alicorn. It's PINK!
Ivy: I can't believe my for fun project came true.

Neiiiiighhh!
Ruler: Guys... is it... whinnying?
OT: Indeed... it also seems smaller...
Ruler: Is it a baby?
OT: Perhaps. Based on the bone structure? I believe it won't be any larger as an adult.
Ruler: There are no other sources about the Pink Alicorn, huh?
OT: I'm afraid not... but, on the bright side, we can write this part of history!
Ivy: So... how did we manage to get one to appear anyways... they weren't even real items?
OT: If we refer back to the poem... Knight Wren did mention that the Pink Alicorn was childlike.
Perhaps Pink Alicorns are immature by nature?
Ivy: So many questions. I hope we learn the answers soon.

Neiiiiighhh!
Ruler: I don't think this baby knows its way home...
It's ok. You're safe here.
(ivy>We'll care for this baby until it finds its way home.
Let's do our best to welcome the baby to our Kingdom.
Wimpy Pinky ivy>It's still unbelievable we succeeded.)

C20 Reindeer Stables

Summary: Reindeers are considered very special animals in Polaris.
Visit the Inn; chat with the Polarians, they may support your cause for a pet Reindeer!
Convince the Stable Master that you'll shower your Reindeer with love and affection!


OT: Did you enjoy your trip to Polaris?
Ruler: Sure did! The reindeers are adorable. I wish I could bring one back.
Do you think the Polarian Kingdom would give us one?
OT: Hmm. Splendid question. I suppose we could write their stable master a letter...
How should we pose the letter?
Ruler: Give me a reindeer, pretty, pretty please? I'm just kidding, please don't write that.
OT: And, just for your knowledge, reindeers are very special to Polarians.
Ruler: Then how about this.
We build a Reindeer Stable to show them we're serious about caring for a reindeer in our Kingdom.
Hopefully that will convince them!

(OT>Yes, indeed. Why didn't I think of that!
I have just the scroll to help us on our quest for the perfect Reindeer Stable.
My Deer Friend OT>We're off to the races!)

OT: Ohh it's my lucky day! While I was looking for the stables scroll, I found my Winter Puns scroll!
Ruler: You don't plan on... reciting them, do you?
OT: Oh! This one is quite fitting for the occasion!
Don't *sleigh* me for reciting a few! Ohohoho!

(OT>I quite adore these pun-ny scrolls.
Anywho, I think we should write to the Polarian Stable Master inquiring for some of the finest Polarian Planks.
Don't Sleigh Me *Trade with the Stable Master for Polarian Planks* OT>A stable home for our reindeer!)

Ruler: I'm glad the Polarian Stable Master agreed to help us out!
...
Ruler: Snow would melt if we had it transferred from Polaris, huh?
IVY: Not if you have magical Forever Snow! Just a bit tricky to find is all.
(ivy>Sounds too good to be true, but it's real! There is such a thing as snow that never melts!
How do you think Polaris stay powdery white year round?!
Let It Snow *Trade with the Stable Master for Forever Snow*
ivy>Careful, this Forever Snow is extra cold. Don't get your tongue stuck!)


Ruler: Sweet! I can't believe we have snow in our Kingdom!
OT: And it'll never melt!
IVY: Yup! Never, ever!
Ruler: I think we're almost done.
IVY: So... what does a reindeer eat?
Ruler: Umm...
IVY: ...
OT: Oh no, no, no... according to my scroll, they will need Polaris Lichen.

(OT>Reindeer can eat the Glimmerwood vegetables we grow, but a diet rich in Polaris Lichen is best.
Let's write to our *deer* friend for some he can share.
Winters Kitchen *Trade with the Stable Master for Polarian Lichen*
(OT>Moldy goodness, is it not?)

OT: Splendid! We have the stables built and food ready for our new *deer* friend!
IVY: Yup! And like any cozy home, we'll need to decorate it!
OT: Yes, indeed! May I suggest a Polaris wreath?
IVY: I'm already on it! I'm also going to string together some pretty glowing lights!

*At the Blush Plume*
Faerie: Sweet nectar! The humans are after our sisters to use them as lights!
Faerie Queen: Alert the Plume. Take the Rose Seal, you have my permission.
Faerie: As my lady commands.

(OT>Friendly ornaments would be best, Miss Ivy. I was thinking, a holiday wreath! How about that?
Horn - ament *Trade with the Stable Master for a Reindeer*
OT>Ivy, those are very bright jars you made! Thank you!)

Ruler: I hope you'll be happy here, Rini the Reindeer! *pet pet pet*

*BOOM*
Ruler: Whoa, what was that? It came from the Potion Shop.
Ivy, are you alright? What happened?
IVY: I'm not sure... my potions *rarely* come out explosive. But they just keep exploding today.
(ivy> I'll take a break and come clean the stables with ya. I think my potion making mojo will come back later.
Fairy Magic *Let's clean up first and head over* ivy>Where did all this fairy dust come from?)

C20 The Barons Birthday
AKA: Breakfast of Champions

The Baron: Hello, friend!
Ruler: "Friend?" That's ... unlike you.
The Baron: Don't you know what day it is? It's my BIRTHDAY!
Ruler: Oh. Well, happy birthday, Baron.
The Baron: Thank you! I want to get my Golden Birthday started right.

(baron>A Golden Omelette would be perfect! Breakfast of Champions
*give bread, oranges, golden omelette on a Silver Platter* baron>Oh, those look delicious!

The Baron: I don't see many decorations for the party you're throwing.
Ruler: I wasn't --
The Baron: You weren't expecting me to be so involved in the planning?
Ruler: .. Yes. That is exactly what I was going to say.
The Baron: It's simple! I want gold everywhere.

(baron>See what you can do. Party Planning
*acer trees, yellow banners, dragon statue* baron>Not ACTUAL gold, but I'll allow it.)

The Baron: Have you bought me a gift yet?
Ruler: Was I supposed -
The Baron: If you're wondering what to get for the Baron who has everything..
Ruler: Let me guess.

(baron>GOLD! The Perfect Gift
*give 1 gold bar- it IS his birthday!* baron>Just what I wanted! How did you know?!?)

The Baron: I feel like we should do something more grand.
Ruler: "We"?
The Baron: a monument to my enduring greatness.
Ruler: Of course, THAT's what my lands were missing.
The Baron: A monument made ENTIRELY of gold bars!
Ruler: There's no way I can find that many Golden Nuggets!

(baron>Use gold coins then! Who cares! A Monument To Greatness
*craft & place Gold Obelisk* baron>Truly magnificent!)


Note: this quest line takes an incredible amount of work & coin for a decoration that does nothing

C20 The Barracks

===*===
Royal Proclamation!
Barracks
Double the Adventures,
Double the Treasures
Purchase the Barracks located
In the Market to go on extra
Adventures!
===*===

IVY: What's wrong? You look like you haven't slept in days.
Ruler: The Castle has gotten really noisy... and crowded.
The Knights are either training for an Adventure, or drinking root beer all night.
OT: That's not good. You can't rule a Kingdom without a good amount of rest.
As your Royal Council, I suggest we build a Barracks!
Ruler: Good idea! Then they'll have their own home in the Kingdom!

(OT>With the Barracks we can send our Knights on two Adventures at once!
The Barracks *place the barracks*

OT: You look well rested!
Ruler: Sure do! It's gotten much quieter around the Castle.
What have they been up to anyways?
OT: The Knights Guard have been training new Knights.
And the new Knights are ready to test their s****s!
Ruler: They sure have been keeping busy.

(ivy>It's time for an Adventure.
I guess there's no better way to prove yourself than a trip through the creepy Ancient Vaults!
Double the Adventures! *prove yourself* ivy>Bring me back something nice!)

Ruler: Whoa, when did the Barracks get so crowded?
IVY: Well, duh. They've been recruiting!
Ruler: Let's make them a meal as a big welcome!
OT: Of course! Nothing says welcome like a hearty meal!

(OT>With full bellies the Knights can better train for Adventures.
Knight Munchies *craft hearty stew* OT>Now they can train all Knight!)

OT: Great show of leadership! The Knights are very happy!
IVY: If they aren't, I've got jussst the potion for them.
Ruler: Thanks, but no thanks, Ivy.
Let's celebrate our new Barracks with an Adventure!
OT: Rather, let's pre-emptively secure our Kingdom from the mean Roaming Bandits!

(OT>Now we can send two groups of Knights out on Adventures! Our Kingdom will be extra safe now.
Knight's Watch *hunt roaming bandits* OT>We're an efficient Kingdom!)

OT: Now that you have double the Knights, be sure to care for all of them!
Ruler: Right, because without food they can't train to their full potential.
OT: Precisely! And our Knights are an artistic lot too. We should help them decorate!
Ruler: I guess looking menacing is a form of art.

(ivy>I say we hang some Skunkupine heads in their main hall.
Menacing Art *craft banners* ivy>Why can't I have Skunkupine art?)

Ruler: Whoa, look at our Knights!
OT: Yes indeed! We have many more Knights than before.
And they're ready to protect our Kingdom!
Ruler: Good timing too, the Baron can't be trusted...
OT: I think his Royal Army still out numbers us though...
Ruler: That's ok. It's the quality, not quantity!
Let's have them train at the Dark Caves.

(OT>Ready for anything, as they say. I think training in the dark will strengthen their senses! Like a Bat!
Dark Knight *adventure to the dark caves - beware of glimmer bats!*
OT>Some of them think they're a Dark Knight!)

OT: The Knights require assistance for the ultimate test!
Ruler: Have they figured out what the next test of strength will be?
OT: Not at all. They request the Ruler to think of an endurance test.
Ruler: Alright. I'll think of something.
OT: In the meantime, they request that we allocate resources to improve the Barracks.

(OT>Meet me at the dear Library and we can start planning the next steps!
I'm more excited than the time I watched a chess match!
Drawing a Blank *yep, he's there! - at the library*

Ruler: What's a good endurance test for our Knights?
OT: Reading the Scrolls of Tabernum!
Ruler: I think our Knights will whither away before they read the first sentence...
OT: Oh...
Ruler: I know! They can test their strength by Traversing the Desert Sands!
OT: Ah! Your Glimmerbulb sure is quick! That will be a sure-fire way to test their endurance.

(ivy>Yuck. I wouldn't last long under the desert sun in heavy armor. Let's make sure they pack enough water!
Sandy Metal Boots *traverse the desert sands* ivy>Yikes! You're all burned!)

C20 Glimmerdust Trove

===*===
Royal Proclamation!
The mysterious Glimmerdust Trove
lets you harvest Glimmerdust
for more powerful potions!
===*===

[at the potion shop to pick up the enchanters essence]

Ruler: Whew, this uses a ton of Glimmerdust.
IVY: It's incredibly rare. Old logs, mushrooms, extra magic likes to pool where it's damp.
I've heard tales of Glimmerdust Troves, but...
Ruler: Tales! Tales are good. I would LOVE to know more about these tales.
IVY: Okay! Okay. Let me find where I read about this...
The Glimmerdust Trove is concentrated magic, so it hides itself from view.
I can scry for its location, but I need very particular supplies for my scrying bowl.
Ruler: What else is new? Just give me a list, and I'll get what you need.
IVY: Great. I need some Iron, but it has to be fresh.
Ruler: "Fresh"? But...it's from the ground.
IVY: Maybe buy a fresh Iron Rich Rock from the Market and mine it?

(ivy>That's as fresh as you can get! Oh, I'll need some other stuff too.
All That Glimmers * give 30 "fresh" iron & 30 sap*
ivy> Hooray! I'll get this scrying bowl made in a jiffy.)

Ruler: Ivy! How'd the scrying bowl - Ivy? Are you okay?
IVY: Sorry! I just feel so WEAK! I'm starving.
All of that work! I can't scry on an empty stomach.
Ruler: Don't worry about it, Ivy! I'll make you whatever you want to eat.
IVY: REALLY? Will you make me a Super Yummy Pie? It's my sister's recipe!
Ruler: Sounds delicious! I'd be happy to.
IVY: Oh, I'm so excited! Here's the recipe.
Make sure you have enough Rat Tails!
Ruler: I... Uh... Um... Okay? I just... Need a minute.

(ivy> And some peppers! It's best with a little kick.
The Ultimate Sacrifice *psych up & read the recipe*
ivy> Are you ready?)

IVY: Hurry up! I'm starving!
Ruler: Settle down, Ivy. I'm doing the best I can.
IVY: I know you are. Sorry. I'm grumpy when I'm hungry.
Ruler: It's okay. How many? ... "Super Yummy Pies" ... do you want, anyway?
IVY: Two! And lots of hot peppers!

(ivy>Oh man, I can taste it now. Hungry Work
*give 2 pies & 50 hot peppers-hopefully they mask the taste of the rat tail*
ivy>My favorite! Thank you!)

IVY: Ow! Whoa! I think I overdid it on the peppers.
Quick! I need some milk to numb my mouth!

(ivy>LOTS OF MILK! Fire Breathing Ivy
*give 25 milk-hot peppers make her REALLY thirsty*
ivy>Whew. Thanks! Now we can get back to business.)

IVY: Okay! The scrying bowl is done, and I feel much better!
Now I just need to fill the bowl, and I'll see a vision of the Glimmerdust Trove on its surface!
Ruler: Wow. This seems kind of, you know...

(ivy>Don't say "Witchy" The Scrying Game
*give water, wisps, petals* ivy>Okay! Let's get started)

IVY: I see... Oh, I see the Trove. Deep in the Glimmer Woods, shining...
It's hidden from mortal eyes by the fairies. Oh, it's beautiful, but...
Ruler: But what? How do I get it?
IVY: It can only be reached by servants, brave and bold.

(ivy>Perhaps you could send your knights on an adventure?
Treasure Troves *Quest for the Trove*
ivy>You retrieved it! I'm great at this scrying stuff!)
