Welcome to Gaia! ::

31-35. You see a few ships on the water. Upon your approach, you're informed that none of the ships are the one you seek. It's up to you whether you choose to fly past or approach. If you approach, roll a D4 to see what happens:
--1. Those on the ships seem friendly enough. You find out it's a passenger ship on their way to port. They wave at you as you fly by, and cheer. They're certainly a friendly lot. You have your dragon land and paddle closer, or hover near by (depending on the size of it) and ask whether or not they've seen anything suspicious. Unfortunately, the haven't. After shooting the breeze for a bit, you decide its time to move on.
--2. Those on the ships seem aloof. They watch as you circle, and it's clear these are not passenger ships, or local ships. In fact, you realize you've found nothing but a band of (likely) pirates, despite them hailing Rivercrest colors. They don't welcome you, but they aren't hostile, either. You note their location, and send coordinates back to your Wingleader just so they are aware.
--3. This is simply a fishing vessel. They haven't seen anything, unfortunately, but do talk up all the good fish they've found.
--4. Oh Faranth. The ships are not friendly. The Captain is actually quite a known pirate that's wanted in several Holds. She wears the sign of an Exile, and her crew look like they wouldn't hesitate downing a rider. Thankfully, you're not alone in your sweeps. When asked about a ship, the Captain claims they've not seen such a vessel. You're not sure you believe her. That said, she she does ask you to send her regards to Hestina...and you can't tell if such a greeting is meant as a genuine salutation or some sort of unspoken threat.

91. As you pass Whitecliff Weyrhold, you find a young dragon in dire straits. S/he is unable to take off as one wing has become badly befouled, and the rider is in distress trying to keep him/her calm. Nothing you say or do will convince the rider that s/he isn't responsible for the predicament, but you're able to get the pair back to Whitecliff without too much trouble. You're not sure why Western Weyr has such a negative outlook on the Weyrhold, as the rider and dragon pair you met seemed friendly enough. [If you choose to pass, you are no longer eligible for future dragon prizes for the duration of this game. If you want the surprise dragon, quote Mr Cheri & Uta and we will drop a pet off for you!]

Have a brown from -_Wish of Tevarae_-!

4. It seems that the pirates haven't detected you. You are able to sneak out with a sizable portion of the hoard. The next Gather day is going to be a good one!

71-74. While searching for the Southern Star, you encounter an alarmingly dashing dolphineer. He or she seems... surprisingly friendly, considering the company you've recently been keeping. It becomes readily apparent that s/he has amorous intentions and you may either stay and enjoy a night of it with the dashing dolphineer (facing the consequences of abandoning your post upon your return) or get out of dodge. If you choose to stay, please quote your Wingleader and let them know. The next morning you find yourself alone with nothing but the memory of your time together to keep you warm. S/he took everything you own, you shaffing deadglow.

46-50. The dolphins in this area are excited about something. Initially, you think you might have found signs of a wreckage, but the wreck you found was centuries old. Upon reflection, you realize that the dolphins are using this wreck to herd a school of fish into becoming lunch.

93-97: Nothing but water. Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink. You find yourself getting antsy, and your eyes sore, and your dragons conversation boring. You find yourself daydreaming, and start thinking about a certain someone in wherhide pants....

11-14. You and your dragon wind up spotting a pod of dolphins and their dolphineer partners. You fly down to see if there's any information about a missing (or Faranth forbid sunken ship) but they haven't heard or seen anything. Though they promise to keep an eye out, there's no leads. At least our dragon got to have fun floating with the dolphins.
