From the Egg to the Stars (A Dragon Quest)

Did you miss that I voted to contact the A team?
This was a demonstration of why the current vote layout is bad not something I believe we should do.
Tally by Block/Task. Both sides can be counted and we can then see what our options are. As for "No"... That should probably be changed to "Don't give her a name" and "Don't try to do anything about her situation" respectively. The others, we can tell which is for which.
 
Tally by task is specifically the problem I'm thinking of. Because these don't have task tags.
Tally by block works, but its going to be confusing to read.
And no changing votes the way you suggested is a worse idea because if I forget to re vote then I'm contributing to plans I do not agree with but other people might.
However I'm pretty certain nobody else will vote for these and so they are only relevant if one other person votes (or nobody) and I force a tie.

I'm not fond of these names, would anyone accept any of the following? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.

On a more serious note, what about Persephone? Relates to our name by carrying on the greek theme, relates to her situation because she's trapped in a dark place but despite that she's the goddess of spring.
 
2. From the Book of Forgotten Tales: Kaide, The Watcher.
That's a good point, And if you can think up an appropriate name, I'll be happy to have that as one of the write-in options.
Let's see...

Omake, Tales of Wonder: "Kaide, the Watcher"

When the earth and all there is were still young, the Sun and Moon and stars would come down to the earth to visit and play. But there was one who didn't. Kaide was an older star, one of the first ever made by Anzebull. Kaide would never join in any games, though many asked. But every time she would tell them, "I must keep my fire burning. Who would tend to it if I left?" She would wave them off with treats and smile as they left down to the earth. Most often only a few at a time. And she would sit back, relax and tend to the flames, keeping it warm and cheery.

On a certain day, the Sun and Moon had a party on the earth, to celebrate their joint birthday. And they invited everyone. The last one they went to invite was old Kaide. When they came up to her, she handed them a package wrapped in string. "For your birthday," she told the twins.

"Does that mean you're coming?" they asked hopefully. Because if old Kaide came to their party, when she never left home that would be amazing!

"I'm sorry, children," she murmured. "But I really must keep this fire going. And Who would tend it if I left? Have you not asked everyone else and they agreed to go down to the earth with you?"

Sun and Moon were dejected but accepted Kaide's words. They had somewhat expected them. "Go now, and have fun you two."

And so the two left down to the earth with the package in hand. There they were greeted by all their friends and began playing games and singing and making merry, forgetting to even open what old Kaide had given to them. Eventually, the Mole suggested that they play a game where they hide under a tarp and see who could get out the fastest. To the children it sounded like an excellent idea and so they did. They searched and searched and got the biggest tarp they could find and flung it over themselves. One large enough to cover the whole earth. But then...

"Hey, hey, what's this? Just how big is this tarp?" those stuck under it asked. Because they couldn't see anything. And they banged their shins and fell down when they bumped into rocks and trees. Suddenly, the game wasn't as fun anymore.

The children couldn't tell if they were even going the right way or if they were walking in circles. Eventually Sun fell and the package slipped from his hands and clanged on the ground. "What's that?" one of the girls asked.

"We don't know," Moon replied. "Old Kaide gave it to us," she said, trying to pick it up. But her fingers met the edge of the wrapping and she accidentally pulled it off. And then... They could see. Because there, in a metal container was a tiny flame. It was low but cheerfully rising, showing the area around them.

"We can see! We can see!" the children cried out joyfully. "Now we won't run into rocks and trees!"

"But how will we get home?" another asked. "We still don't know if we're going the right way."

"Wait a minute!" Moon yelled. "Old Kaide! She always has her fire burning. If we can throw this tarp high enough, we'll be able to see it and know which way to go!"

"Yeah!" Sun agreed. "And if we have to change direction because of a river or cliff, we can do it again to find her fire again! We'll always know that we're going the right way!"

So they threw the tarp as high as they could, and caught a glimpse of old Kaide's flame. And even when the trees tried to block it out, or the tarp came back down, the children had her tiny flame to wander by until they could push the tarp away again and find where they should go.

Eventually, they made it out from under the tarp and at old Kaide's fire pit. She smiled warmly to all of them and only asked, "Oh, are all of you coming to visit me? What a treat!" as she laughed.

This is really lovely. So yes, it can go into the book, though the original creators of the world aren't known by name or design. Also, you have two experience to spend where you wish.
 
is it really a good idea to send mom to the wizard he might be hoping that she comes to save the child so he can get her. @Jeboboid any chance we could show this to Princess Alaina to try and have her get the king to send some men or hell show Alaina mothers shell kick the wizards ass proper

And an evil wizard unlocking draconic secrets is also not really good news for everyone else.
 
so for the plan can we show this to Alaina and idk see if we can get an army mobilized and as for a name for her i like hope its an oldy but goody
 
[X] Yes
-[X] Hope
[X] Yes
-[X] Contact your mother and guide her to Hope.
 
i still say sending the mother is a bad idea the wizard is probably expecting her to show and is ready for her but hes not ready for an army showing up at his door curtsy of neppy.

the Army of Gleep shall prevail

It's a good plan in theory, but armies take a fairly long time to supply and mobilize properly, and you don't know where the wizard's tower even is.
 
:cry::cry::cry::cry: but Gleep army :cry::cry::cry::cry:
what about mom then does the wizard know and is expecting her or could she easily win?
That's something I can't actually tell you I'm afraid. You know that the Wizard is exceptionally powerful, considering that he's been able to act as he has seemingly without retribution, but you also know that Sorella is also extremely powerful, but in different ways. Also there's the diplomatic clusterfuck that'll happen if the wizard isn't based in Linderin and you march a full army down on him. Other kingdoms don't typically like having foreign armies on their soil.
 
[X] Yes
-[X] Indomitable
[X] Yes
-[X] Contact your mother and guide her to Hope.

// Mother should have some ideas of her own - after all, she survived until now.
 
[X] Name
-[X]Kaide
[X]Plan
-[X]inform sister that you plan on getting out of dream and then contacting mother so that the wizard won't know she's coming.
 
[X] Yes
-[X] You're my sister, and I'm never going to stop trying to rescue you, so I'm going to name you after the most wonderful thing in the world, so you'll know you're wonderful.
--[X] Your name is Bacon!
---[X] Look, I hatched less than a week ago. I have limited life experiences, OK? This is hard?
---[X] Shiny hat? Magic tree? Work with me here.
[X] Yes
-[X] Get Alaina to take us back to see the queen. She seems really capable. Ask her to help us hire a dragon-rescuer. We may need a loan to pay him. We'll pay it back, though, you can trust us.

My thinking here is that this is a freaking teleporting wizard. Which means sending an army to bring him in isn't very likely to work, because if he thinks someone is after him, he'll teleport away with Bacon. And Momma Dragon isn't exactly subtle, either. This is a job for sneakiness, which means we need a sneaky person.
