Greetings Hoarders & Mis-adventurers,

If you are new here, welcome! It's so nice to have you along for this PinQuest! In every update I take you along a short mini adventure story. Where you are the hero who agreed to protect three little Derpy Dragons as they ventured into a dungeon, completely unprepared but with great enthusiasm! (Don't all good D&D adventures start out that way?)

Like with a typical D&D session, backers are in the driver seat as to how the story unfolds! By voting on the daily polls, you decide what happens next in the adventure as I pull out my inner bard and embrace my status as forever DM and write a tale of your grand conquests and critical rolls...for good or ill. (You can read previous shenanigans in the community tab under updates!)

Within the story I reveal side-quests which can earn you real life loot! Some physical, some digital (Both are revealed in this update so keep reading!) But, not all booty are freely given. The official Weirdling Tribe Guild requires some active participation so they may weed the free-looters from the true heroes worthy of tale. They monitor this via the achievements tabs! (Usually requires an action from you to click a button or make a comment - nothing too strenuous, I assure you!) And to make it easy for you I always link the active side quests in the updates! And the best part? For many you don't have to be a backer to participate! You can just join the party and have some fun with us!

So without further ado *clears throat and begins talking in my most authoritative Dungeon Master voice*:

It should come as no surprise to you that your Derpy Dragon companions will pick up and collect every cute creature they come across. Perhaps they are druids or rangers at heart, and just need a new pet animal companion? Regardless, the moment one of them spotted the baby owlbear you heard the familiar words: "Can we keep him?"

With a groan, and no promises you made, you insist that you look for an over protective mama owlbear first. But, as you look around it is clear that this little baby have wandered away from its nest. You can't just leave it here, not knowing the other dangers you have already discovered on your own!
 
You reluctantly agree that the Derpy Dragon can keep it until you find a safer home for it. Preferably with its own kind! 

You decide that a short rest is in order and settle in beside your Derpy companions as you notice a familiar scribble on the wall. Taking out the scrap of paper you discovered earlier, you notice that you have found the item for the side quest! (you unlocked the achievement - details below)

We may leave with some loot yet at the end of this quest, you think to yourself as you pick up the shiny strangely shaped rock indicated on the side-quest parchment. Who cares if it is only a consolation prize given by the official Weirdling Tribe Guild! Loot is loot.

The promise of real treasure excites your little companions when you tell them about your discovery. Perhaps your effors are not in vain. As you scour the page, your eyes fall apon a cursive handwritten note at the back of the quest page:

You glance to your companions and together you decide that if loot is good, bigger loot must be better! So you accept the second side quest!

I just realized that I never properly introduced you to your Derpling Party members! In case you didn't notice, there are 3 distinct Derpies for this campaign. And while this was originally unintentional, it has worked out well to craft a story for them! However, without names, it is becoming harder and harder to identify them individually. I already mentioned needing names in my previous update. 

Meet your party companions:

I absolutely love what you guys are coming up with! Below are just a few examples so far! (😊Thank you guys you made my day!❤️) So keep the derpy names coming as we venture deeper and deeper into the dungeon. There may even be a treasure for those whose names I pick! (It will be a digital prize so anyone can participate even if you don't back!)

______________________________________________

Well, that concludes todays story and update. I look forward to seeing you name those derpies! In the meantime, I am plotting the ideas for the two mystery pin designs you guys unlocked. Which we will start creating together next week! 

Yours in art,
Therena
