Just getting it checked over. Might come out tomorrow. I just dropped May classifieds in. The random generator wasn't feeling nice towards you guys though.

I'm ok with #716 being unusual. Probably something generally above 500 in the popularity index's.

Beware! The Great White Dragon has been spotted! To arms!

Answers to Questions I already know you have:

This is a group event, the totals are for everyone participating.
This is a multi-part event, finishing one section will trigger the next part to start.

Morgan (faeriesfolly) | 522 comments oh geez.... O______O

That's a lot of merely cat pelts. We are in this dragon fight for the long haul. lol.

I'm not even sure I want to know the sort of Attack/HP on a dragon like this. They might not have numbers that go that high. haha.


message 6213: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments WOW Awsome event.

So after gathering ALL supplies, there's another Event?

Ie battle?

Yeah giving up the pelts are gonna hurt.


message 6215: by Morgan (new)

Morgan (faeriesfolly) | 522 comments I'm guessing at least two more stages if it's a multi-part event.


message 6216: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments We're going to need triplet mercs.


message 6217: by Zuzana (last edited May 01, 2016 10:58AM) (new)

Zuzana | 2570 comments I don't even have the Intermediate Tracking Certificate yet. Nor the kitchen. Well, I guess I'll just have to work on those.

I'll start gathering (reading) books for Reinforcements and Shields first.


message 6218: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Great event Kelly! Except that's a lot of Merely Kat Pelts needed O.o

I was thinking the same thing Zuzana! I haven't even begun on the Beginning Tracking yet so I'll have to push that one up with the Kitchen.

I can help with the other items to start.


message 6219: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Heh. I gotta make stuff last a bit of time :)

There's at least 2 more stages after this one.

Cat (cat_uk) | 10118 comments Mod
I too am kitchenless and without intermediate tracking :(

but have turned in the other three - I assumed that we could use historical books - there was no statement they had to be fresh books... :)


message 6221: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments Awesome event!!!

I don't have beginning tracking, let alone beginning tracking AND I don't have a kitchen. I think it will take me months to get all that stuff and we could be way beyond this event by then.

Is there any way to combine things together? Like I could contribute bat wings, rat tails, and drop bear meat and someone else could contribute the other things to combine for a ration? (Just one example)?


message 6222: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Would opening up the open market for awhile while the event is going on help people?

Yes, they can be older books. I tacked in the 4 day waiting period to slow down people's dumping of books :P

Can you please post the other events so that we don't spend books now, that might be better used later.


message 6225: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments For:

-Read a book that is only published in paper format.

I can only read ebooks these days. I need the backlighting now.

I've got some old cookbooks that I could re-read that are large print. I gave away most of my paper books when I downsized.


message 6226: by Daphne (new)

Daphne (daphnesm) | 937 comments What a cool start to the event! I love that we are working together now to collect supplies. Great idea!

I've added my first small contribution to getting us battle ready.

So, so happy I got my kitchen completed and my puppy fully trained awhile back. :) He has already helped me find a few of the pesky kats for their pelts.


message 6227: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments I think keeping the market open would be great. That way we can maybe trade around so we can "share items" and get more accomplished!

You only need to do one of the items listed so you can just avoid that one and stick with either trees on the cover or titles that start with T.

I'm intentionally not posting the next part until this part is done. That and I don't have it written yet, just sketched out :)

Aaaaaaaacccccckkkk. Just one?

I've been scrambling to get them ALL!


message 6233: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments Awesome event! I am behind on being able to help in some areas, but will do what I can!

For the rations, do you have to make all three or just one of them to qualify?


message 6234: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments I tried to make it friendly to everyone who wanted to participate so there's several options for each item. Some have 2 books you need but they each have their own list where you just need one qualifier from it.

You need all 3, but I'll be opening up the open market during the event so you can work with someone else to make things if you have different abilities.

That's a shame as nuts are 2 gold each if you don't have a squirrel, and salt also costs a lot in terms of books or gold to only get 2 gold reward. It doesn't seem worth it other than wanting to help complete the quest

I like that. It gives more of the feeling of a scramble to get things together when you don't know the future.

Alyssa Lane Thanks!


message 6242: by Shanna_redwind (new)

Shanna_redwind | 598 comments In the open market does it have to be a gold trade, or can we trade for other things, like could I trade a book with water on the cover for a different book that people have read, or for a Merely Kat pelt?


message 6243: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments I think we can trade for whatever we want, as long as both sides agree.


message 6244: by Morgan (new)

Morgan (faeriesfolly) | 522 comments Maybe also things to get you all up to being able to kill the merely kats / have a kitchen too? (At least I figure in theory! lol. Otherwise it will take us a long time to get there waiting on the months to roll over. XD)

Plus it might help in the next level too.

What all is missing to get you all there?


message 6245: by Rebecca (last edited May 02, 2016 08:38AM) (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments I'll start working on my beginner and intermediate tracking. I only have 2 books in my tote though, so I need 11 more books to get it.

I would be willing to trade potions or a potion token for books to work on this. I only have 1 gold at the moment.


message 6246: by Shanna_redwind (new)

Shanna_redwind | 598 comments I need two books to get my dog, and then everything for both tracking levels.

I've got some water books posted in the open market, looking for a book that starts with L and one with an author with a first name starting with H to start with.


message 6247: by Morgan (last edited May 02, 2016 08:52AM) (new)

Morgan (faeriesfolly) | 522 comments I rarely know where a book is going before I stick it there, so I'm more than willing to help out swapping books for potions or whatever seems fair. :)

I don't have those tasks out of the completed spoiler tags, but if anyone has specifics they need/want me to keep an eye out for I totally can. Right now I'm reading:

After the Woods by Kim Savage After the Woods (physical)
Drown by Esther Dalseno Drown (kindle - phone)
The Falconer (The Falconer, #1) by Elizabeth May The Falconer (kindle)
*edit to remove current audio since I do have a place for it*
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys Salt to the Sea (audio - next up)
and potentially some graphic novels and things. So there's a chance in this wide variety that I can hit on something ;) haha.

(And yes, I play this game in mostly chaos due to my method of choosing what to read next. haha.)


message 6248: by Reva (last edited May 02, 2016 08:59AM) (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Do people want me to open my market. I don't need books but would trade for gold or potion tokens.

I would also make smaller levels of salt and other pantry items available.


message 6249: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments That would probably be helpful Reva! I don't know how much a potion token would be worth in terms of books, but I do have one I would be willing to trades for books for my tracking.


message 6250: by Reva (new)

Reva (revans) | 2481 comments Is there a printed list of the female/male newberry names? Every time I try to open the link, it crashes my iPad.

Maybe you could make it a permanent list on the notice board.
