.// The Wishing Pond

Just below the city Sultha sits the magnificent Cacaeda falls, and adjacent therein is a tiny alcove hidden by a flourish of vibrant trees. There are several small, trickling falls that drip down into the pool below, fed from the mighty rivers of Sultherem. This is the Wishing Pond. A small body of water said to have once been blessed by a passing murdon, after a fisher offered his catch. Now the fish here grant abilities upon those who manage to catch them.

But, knowing their new found power, they are not easy to catch!

.// HOW TO PLAY

• The Wishing pond is stock full of 5 unique species of fish, just waiting to be caught. For this game you need to gear up for some fishing, and be prepared to have a lot of patience. Enter the pond quietly, because these fish scare easy.
  
  
• The Wishing Pond is stocked with a set amount of fish each month. Once these fish are gone, the pond won't be replenished until next month.
  
  
• To play, respond to this post with an in character approach to The Wishing Pond, and include the form below.
  
  
• A moderator will then respond to your post, stating what fish (if any) you've caught, and what it's given you.
  
  

• The Wishing Pond costs 7 Game Tokens to play. These tokens are spent. You can earn more game tokens through various games and events.
  
  
• You, as a player, may only approach the pond a total of three times per month. It doesn't matter what (or how many) characters you use, so long as you don't exceed this limit.
  
  
• Your "approach response" does effect your chances when catching fish. Please stay in-character, though. Anyone found using their characters in a manner arbitrary to their previous behavior will be banned from using the Wishing Pond.
  
  
• A character may only cast into the pond once per post. You must wait for a response before that character can play again.
  
  
• A role-play post is required in order to play the Wishing Pond. (You will receive reply points for this.)
  
  
• Because the Wishing Pond is located in Sultherem, any character who approaches it must have made at least one in-character post role-playing in this province.

• Blue-Nosed Diver:
  ● ● Grants one minor ability.
  ● ● Fairly common.
  ● ● Are located near the pond's bed, and don't react easily to sound.
  
  
• Bonefin:
  ● ● Grants one moderate ability.
  ● ● Uncommon.
  ● ● Located nearest to the waterfall, but are very quick, and might just steal the bait right off your hook!
  
  
• Silverscale:
  ● ● Grants one major ability.
  ● ● Rare.
  ● ● Can be easily spotted from the surface of the water, but are very picky about bait. Technique is the best way to catch this fish.
  
  
• Batfish:
  ● ● Upgrades one of the fisher's current abilities. Has no effect if the fisher has no abilities at the time of casting.
  ● ● Uncommon.
  ● ● Mid-range fish, are only active at night.

  ● ● Oh no! Weakens one of the fisher's current abilities. Has no effect if the fisher has no abilities at the time of casting.
  ● ● Uncommon.
  ● ● Can be found just about anywhere in the pond, and they're voracious eaters. Good thing they're not that common.
