Spring has arrived in Tendaji; in most places flowers were blooming while others might only see a slight temperature increase. The weather was nice so you decide to take a stroll. As you leave town and enter a small clearing, you notice strange colorful dots all throughout the grass.

"Oh stop right there!"

Freezing, you stop with your foot hovering just a breath above the grass and then as you slowly take one step backwards you notice that something colorful had been nestled against the ground. What was this? A Gaein girl comes forward and offers a big smile, "Thank you for stopping! You nearly crushed the egg." From there she explains that the whole field is full of colorful eggs that she had spread out for the villagers to find. Apparently in Belrea this time of year is a time for festivities and one of their most popular games is finding brightly dyed eggs that children create with their parents who later hide them away. As a member of the Academy she had been granted permission to come and share this knowledge with those in Tendaji and so offers to allow you to play with those already shifting through the wide expanse of fields.


[ Roll a 1d20 to determine what happens during your hunt!]
1. You are reaching out for an egg when it suddenly floats away! What in the? But then you notice wings behind it. A sprite is trying to steal your egg away!
2. You find a total of 8, totally normal, painted eggs!
3. You pick up what appears to be an egg but doesn't have the same weight a normal egg should have and you notice a line down the center. As you pull the two halves apart, a strange vial [an eye of the goddess] falls out!
4. You find a total of 2, totally normal, painted eggs!
5. You pick up an egg but later begin to smell something foul coming from your bag, it seems that you picked up a rotten egg!
6. You feel a bit competitive and run around as fast as you can to collect every egg, too bad a little boy just left with a basket full!
7. Oh no, watch your step! You accidentally step on and break an egg!
8. You find a total of 10, totally normal, painted eggs!
9. You find an extra large egg hidden in some tall grass. Later, it hatches into a Xaraan!
10. You're a little late to the party, all the younglings have already gathered all the eggs before you even got a chance, how sad!
11. You find a total of 5, totally normal, painted eggs!.
12. You hear a quiet scratching noise coming from a slightly larger painted egg you just picked up. It later hatches into a Sailscale!
13. You find a total of 1, totally normal, painted egg!
14. As you're walking, you hear a strange noise coming from the bushes. A keldari pops out at you! Whether you get startled or just shoo it away, a few eggs fall out of your basket and crack as they hit the ground.
15. You find a total of 3, totally normal, painted eggs!
16. You're walking towards a particular egg when you feel something beneath your foot as you take a step. Whew! Close call, you move your foot and the egg remains unharmed and you add it to your basket!
17. You find a total of 15, totally normal, painted eggs!
18. You feel your basket start to wiggle a bit and then hear giggling. As you look down, you see a youngling taking your eggs! They make off with 4 of your eggs before you have a chance to stop them!
19. You find an unpainted egg. Figuring it's not a part of the egg hunt, you leave it alone and continue on.
20. It seems that something is weird about one of the eggs you've picked up. As you stare at it the egg begins to wobble and even glows from the inside?! It later hatches into a Sitara!

After being cooped up in the house for so long Syqvara thought a walk to get some fresh air was well deserved. Of course she had to stop in to get Drent and Elyam, her birds. The bright blue kinfa chirped happily as it hopped along after her but the muted green Scorra remained his usual grumpy self at her side. “Awe, come on Elyam.. the walk won't kill you.” Sy cooed at her familiar.

When she got no response from him she chuckled and shook her head. She guessed there wasn't much in the world now that really made her grumpy old bird happy. Before she could think on the subject any farther or really take another step, she was stop to stop where she was. Syqvara complied with the order but stared dumbfound at the girl who had shouted it. The girl was certainly no leaf tribe member. Her skin was too dark and her hair was green. If Sy could recall correctly the girl before her was from the airship that had landed on Tendaji ground some time ago.

“I'm sorry, did you need something of me?” She questioned.

At the shake of the girl's head Sy turned her head with a bit of suspicion. As far as she knew none of this girl's people lived in her village. Then again, new things happened all the time. However, the summoner's curiosity was piqued as the girl went on to explain why she had shouted out to stop her. Sy saw the brightly colored egg not too far from her feet and smiled in wonder at how she could have missed it. The colors were clearly not normal for Tale. Still, she supposed she had been distracted with Elyam and his grumpiness at the time. With the story continuing and an even more elaborate egg was pointed out to her Syqvara found herself grinning from ear to ear.

“So it's something you all celebrate around this time of year?” It was a question posed with the answer already known. Sy simply had to voice it and get the confirming nod from the girl.

Before any more questions could be posed the girl had to rush off and call out to another member of the village for the same reason. Syqvara turned her head to watch the girl and gave a small laugh of amusement as she watched another face light up with the idea of the cute game. It seemed that this tradition of painted eggs and hiding them for others to find might just take off in her area. Not that it was a bad thing. She really thought that the activity would bring back some fun and joy to those who had lost so much in past wars. Most of those that lived in the village were elderly with battle scars. The few children that were around were due to others moving in.

Turning her attention back to her birds she grinned at them. “What do you say boys? Whoever finds the most wins?” She posed the question to them but was already moving away from them to search the tall grasses of Tale for the colorful eggs.

Drent took the challenge immediately and was hopping around and pecking at the ground like a mad bird. He wanted to find as many as he could so that he could show off. Sy knew that. The kinfa loved to have her attention and be given treats. It was his weakness if the big avian had any at all. Elyam, on the other hand, seemed to simply walk through the tall grass, perfectly content to simple stride along. It didn't look like he was playing the game. At least, not until he bent his neck down and collected a small yellow and red egg in his beak and strutted around like a king.

Sy laughed at the antics of her familiars and shook her head as she went back to searching for her own prizes. It was her hope that she would find more than her beasts and be able to brag just a little that her eyes were better than those of the predator birds she had. But with one look at Drent she knew she would not win. The large winged beast looked as though he was starting a collection. It also meant that she would be giving him a bunch of treats later.

By the time her birds seemed to be done hunting around Syqvara had only two eggs in hand. She already knew she lost but she walked over to where her companions were to see just who the winner was. The outcome was not one she expected. Her energetic bird had found a great deal but it looked as though her grumpy old man won this one. Elyam stood proud next to his pile of twelve and Drent appeared to only have seven. “Alright, show offs. You win. Elyam.. I take it you want fish for dinner?” Sy laughed and set her eggs down so that someone else might find them. After that she nodded toward home for her two boys to follow her.
