Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Treasure Procedures

The countless caverns pervading Serrated Spines' facade bury secrets in their shadows. Choose the right path to follow and you might uncover riches, upgrade your stats, discover new companions... or fall prey to the dangers in the darkness.

To search a cave for treasure, create a thread here in Serrated Spines with the label "Treasure" using 200-400 words describing your character's entrance and/or exploration. Next, make a post in Invocation to alert staff.
Staff will roll a 13-sided dice to determine what your character will find: nothing, spirits, an animal, or an obstacle. The results of each side are described in the below bullets.
Faces 1-7: Nothing. If rolled, the process ends here.
Faces 8-10: Spirits. Staff roll a 20-sided dice to determine the total you will receive and then deposit the resulting spirits into your IC account.
Face 11-12: Obstacle. An obstacle gives your character the chance to earn a single stat upgrade. Staff will post the nature of the hindrance, such as a boulder blocking your way, and the stat type you may potentially earn, such as strength. You may then craft a 200-400 word reply overcoming the obstacle. Staff will judge if your post was realistic and if you surmounted the obstacle in a logical, feasible manner.

If any reasoning is found illogical, your attempt will be marked unsuccessful.
If your strategy is sound, however, staff will mark your attempt successful and upgrade your character's stat.
Whether successful or not, a final dice concludes if your character will be injured in their efforts. A 3-sided dice is rolled, with 1-2 signifying safety and the 3rd face meaning an injury will be added to your IC account's ailment field.

Face 13: Animal. An animal encounter gives your character the chance for 2 stat upgrades or an animal companion (which may also be purchased through the Underground). In this scenario, you may choose which you want to pursue: attempt to claim the animal and thus secure it as a companion or attack the animal and earn 2 stat upgrades by defeating it. Begin by posting which option you wish to pursue and which Contribution creature you want the animal to be; you could make a new contribution or use an existing one. If uncertain, you may request staff choose a random contribution for you and they will post a link to their choice. You must also notify the contribution creator by posting in their thread with a link to your treasure thread.

If claiming, next make a 200-400 word IC post endeavoring to subdue, tame, befriend, or otherwise claim the creature. Staff will judge if your post was realistic and if you subdued the creature in a logical, feasible manner.

If any reasoning is found illogical, your attempt will be marked unsuccessful.
If your strategy is sound, however, staff will post a 2-faced dice. Should 1 be rolled, the animal escapes and your attempt fails. Should 2 be rolled, you succeed in claiming the companion and a generic "companion" item is added to your IC account's inventory. To apply the companion to your IC account, post in Invocation. You may choose any contribution you want upon activation and are not restricted to the animal you defeated.

If attacking, make a 200-400 word IC post endeavoring to overcome, kill, or otherwise defeat the creature.

If any reasoning is found illogical, your attempt will be marked unsuccessful.
If your strategy is sound, however, staff will post a 2-faced dice. Should 1 be rolled, the animal escapes and your attempt fails. Should 2 be rolled, you succeed in defeating the animal and staff will ask which 2 stats you want upgraded.

Whether successful or not in claiming/defeating the animal, a final dice concludes if your character will be injured in their efforts. A 3-sided dice is rolled, with 1-2 signifying safety and the 3rd face meaning an injury will be added to your IC account's ailment field.

Any injuries will be minor and require brief healing in Torrid Cauldron.
Your character may treasure hunt every 24 hours.
