    Exclamation Castle Story 6/19: The Dragon Rider's Dilemma | optional gem purchase story

    Goal Notes:
    * This goal was released on 19 June 2023 for limited time purchase
    * The purchase of the Dragon Rider is completely optional and is 600 gems to purchase
    * If you purchase the Dragon Rider, you will trigger the following goals
    * The last goal will reward you with 5 minutes of unlimited energy (which you can trigger whenever you want to)


    Note 1: there are 'rules' around unlimited energy which can be found in the Hub.

    Note 2: Energy that you had before activating unlimited energy will be available to you when the timer ends.

    Note 3: Energy gained from sources while unlimited energy is active does not add to your energy total after expiration. So, while you have the unlimited energy active, do not collect from other energy sources.

    Note 4: If you level up during this time, you will not receive the energy top up.

    Dialogue Guide
    Pre-Goal
    Old Thomas: Hello Young Ruler! I have heard from an old, old friend of mine who is leading a class of young, brilliant minds. He said that his young dragon trainers are beginning their practical studies and are setting out to travel and explore and learn all there is to learn! As you well may know, these Glimmerwoods are quite the unique habitat for a variety of fascinating are rare dragon specimen. If you feel so inclined, I am sure the newest trainer arriving in the realm would be gracious for receiving your kind welcome!

    Goal 1:
    Old Thomas: Look at that!
    Ruler: Look at what?
    Old Thomas: Look, up in the sky, up in the sun!
    Ruler: I don't think it's safe to look up at the sun, Old Thomas.
    Old Thomas: Oh, no, it certainly is not wise! Do not look directly at the sun... look instead up here! Do you see? A shadow crosses the sky, disappearing in and out of the clouds... I believe a dragon is circulating above!
    Ruler: A dragon! I think you're right...that looks like a dragon! It's a big one too... and it's getting bigger!
    Old Thomas: Aha, yes... I do believe it is time for us to take cover, Young Ruler!
    ...
    *CRASH!*

    Goal 2:
    Ruler: Hello! Are you all right?
    Dragon Rider: Oh, Hello! yes, I'm fine... nothing bruised but my ego. My apologies for crash landing in your realm... I hope nothing was damaged.
    Ruler: No, I think we were alright... We managed to take cover.
    Baron: Speak for yourself, child! That dreadful ruckus knocked a very rare and delicate vase off of a high shelf upon which it had been perched precariously!
    Ruler: Why did you have a vase perched so precariously!
    Baron: Certainly not so that someone might accidentally break it so that I might demand compensation! But now that you have broken it with your wild dragon crashing, I demand compensation!

    Goal 3:
    Ruler: There you go, Baron. Everything is all settled now.
    Baron: Well yes, but in a more, truer sense... no. How can one truly make up for such a disturbance? I'm afraid this has opened the door to a lifetime of debt.
    Dragon Rider: Oh, I am afraid I cannot afford such dues...
    Ruler: Don't worry... I think I have just the thing. Wait here, Baron. We'll bring you some *compensation*.

    Goal 4:
    Dragon Rider: Boy, I have just made such an awful mess crash landing in your realm... I've disturbed the people who live here and I've lost my dragon! My studies are going dreadfully so far.
    Ruler: You lost your dragon?
    Dragon Rider: Shortly after we landed... after we *crash* landed, my dragon disappeared. I am not sure where he was last... but I am certain that I not a good enough dragon rider for him! That is why Angelico left.
    Ruler: Why don't we see if we can help you find your dragon?
    Dragon Rider: you... want to help... me? After all the trouble I caused? Hm... Maybe I hit my head a little too hard during that crash landing...

    Goal 5:
    Dragon Rider: it looks like my dragon Angelico is roaming your realm. first he was by the farmhouses, now he appears to be headed towards your libraries? I don't know what's gotten into him!
    Old Thomas: Oh dear, a dragon near a library? That is a recipe for a disaster! Please, Young Ruler, keep that flame breathing beast away from the delicate tomes! A creature like that could wreck eons of history!

    Goal 6:
    Ruler: What happened, Old Thomas?
    Old Thomas: I witnessed the most unusual sight I have seen in quite some time. I ran as fast as my legs would carry me to the library to try and help with the defense, but it turns out that quick dragon beat me to it! I saw it standing above a pile of books, ready to devour them in flame, so I yelled with fear, drawing the dragon's attention. But the most unusual thing happened... The dragon left! It could have eaten me if it wanted to... and it easily could have destroyed those books. On my word, if I did not know any better, I would swear I saw that dragon reading!
    Ruler: Reading? A reading dragon?
    Old Thomas: Stranger things have happened!

    Goal 7:
    Dragon Rider: So, I am aware that I owe you quite a bit of... stuff. I am very sorry about all this... and I will find a way to make it up to you!
    Ruler: It's all right... what is your name?
    Dragon Rider: Oh! Me? I suppose I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Draynor, of the southern islands... I went to school to become a dragon trainer, with a focus in riding and maintenance. But it seems I'm a failure in both aspects...
    Ruler: Don't worry, Draynor. We'll find your dragon and get you back to your studies. You are a kind ruler and I appreciate all your help... It's just... I need a little more!

    Goal 8:
    Draynor: I've spent a lot of time with Angelico... it was an ordeal to get him to trust me! Lots of treats, lots of trinkets, and of course lots of minor burns for me. It was months before he would even let me mount him. I had thought all that work meant we were close and that wouldn't run from me... I guess I was wrong... but then again, I was wrong about a lot of things. Either way, I know which treats that flame-breathing rascal eats... If you could help me with a few dishes, that'll lure that beast right to our trap!

    Goal 9:
    Draynor: I should have known that clever dragon would outsmart my trap. He managed to steal a bunch of the treats as he left. But there is still good news! The treats were so plentiful, Angelico could not carry them all. I was able to follow a line of half eaten desserts that lead me right to where I believe the dragon is. It's a leafy green hut, deep in the Glimmerwoods... I have heard it said a witch lives there! I hope Angelico is not being tormented by some dark magic!
    Ruler: Hmmm... Why don't you show me where this hut is?

    Goal 10:
    Draynor: Baby... dragon?
    Ivy: Yes! The mama dragon came to me for help hatching her egg.
    Draynor: Mama...? Her? you mean Angelico is a...
    Ivy: Angelica! And here is her sweet little baby. You know, for a dragon like this to successfully hatch a babe is quite rare. The dragon must be well cared for and have a close ally who it feels safe with. I would say whoever trained this dragon is doing a wonderful job. I'd say this dragon might even let someone ride it... Maybe!
    Ruler: Ivy, let me introduce you to this dragon's rider and trainer, Draynor!
    Ivy: Oh! Hello! You've done a fantastic job!
    Draynor: Thanks! I don't know what to say! I... I'm speechless. I thought my dragon was trying to run away from me...
    Ivy: Nope! She was gathering supplies for me. She's awfully clever. And you've done a wonderful job training her!
    Draynor: Wow... well, thanks! And thank you for all your help. It'll be easier to repay your efforts with Angelica by my side!

    I visited two libraries and I'm not getting credit for it. It's still showing 0/5 libraries instead of 2/5. Thank you in advance for your help!

    Maybe it's fixed. I visited a Level 7, 5, 2, and 1 library and they all registered.

    Wait a few minutes before progressing between steps. I reached a point where I needed to visit Ivy’s Hut. I visited Ivy’s hut and the game reset. Fortunately, it reset my Ivy’s Hut so I didn’t have to wait half a day. I again visited Ivy’s Hut and collected/placed the nice prize (I don’t want to give away surprises.). I then collected from the dragon rider. the game reset again. Unfortunately, the game registers my visit to Ivy and my collection from the dragon rider, but does not register completion of the step required before visiting Ivy, so I don’t have the special prize and I have to wait a half day to collect from Ivy and about a day to collect from the dragon rider. So frustrating!

    I'll write all the goals up today - I finished everything yesterday, but keeping the 5 mins of unlimited energy for a "rainy day". Talk about a fire sale of getting rid of stored inventory materials! lol

    oh and as a side note, the Pirate Tavern counted towards the Tavern goal.
