I really enjoy the June storyline, but, for an Explore-based month, the explore events seemed lacking. It's understandable, as this is a brand-new event, but I just wanted to suggest some events and flavor texts for explore.

If someone else has a thread for this, please tell me! Also, feel free to comment your own so I can add and credit you!

Events



"A Ushabti is hauling some treasure right across your path, no doubt headed towards its temple. It's so vulnerable..."
- Take the treasure!
"You smash the clay servant to pieces with your massive paws and make off with the treasure." [-2 Karma, +2 Chaos Snake Scales (or any other future collectible)]
- Guard it.
"You stand guard over the Ushabti the entire way back to its temple, scaring off any scavengers. As thanks, it leaves you a little gift!" [+2 Karma, +2 Khepri Beetles]

"You come across what looks to be the remains of a chthonic snake - if it had been smashed with a giant rock. It looks like one of those stone golems found it before you did. You scavenge what you can before moving on." [+1 Chaos Snake Scale or +1 Medium Meat Chunk]

"You notice a pile of shattered clay and loose snake scales. It appears some Ushabti had a rather unfortunate encounter with a chthonic snake."
- Investigate or Ignore
(If Investigated)
"You find a few beetles scurrying among the broken shards, futility trying to repair the damage." [20% Chance - +2 Khepri Beetles]
"Looks like nothing is salvageable." [10% Chance - Nothing]
"You managed to pull a few scales out of the rubble." [15% Chance - +1 Chaos Snake Scale]
"You find a little treasure that the Ushabti must have been carrying." [30% Chance - Random entertainment item]
"You find beetles hiding under the pieces of clay." [25% Chance - +10 Silver Beetles]

"A chthonic snake is on the verge of death! [Bast/Seth/Anubis] whispers in your ear for you to take the soul!"
- Take the Soul or Leave it in Peace or Ignore
Take the Soul
- 2 Karma and
[50% chance] The snake writhes in pain as it dissipates, leaving behind some beetles! (+3 Khepri Beetles)
[30% chance] The snake writhes in pain as it dissipates. It leaves nothing behind. (Nothing)
[20% Chance] The snake writhes in pain as you seal it away! You hear the snake's whispering hiss in your head. (Gain Essence of the Snake - new decor that appears to be a shadowy version of a snake curling around your lion)
Leave it in Peace
+2 Karma and
[50% Chance] The snake is your enemy, but it doesn't deserve to have its soul taken. You watch it die peacefully, plucking away beetles that try to eat it. (+3 Khepri Beetles)
[30% Chance] The snake is your enemy, but it doesn't deserve to have its soul taken. You walk away from it, leaving it to die peacefully.
[20% Chance] The snake is your enemy, but it doesn't deserve to have its soul taken. You let it die peacefully, and feel a sense of peace settle over you in turn. (Gain Enemies at Peace - a decor that could have a ghostly visage of the snake peacefully living with your lion)

"Oh, a pile of beetles!"
Dig! or Ignore
(If Dig)
+3 Khepri Beetles!

New Enemies



"A stone golem roams the land!"
- The golems from the shop
Stone golems will have thick skin and be able to stun.
+5 Khepri Beetles

"Who is this? An imposter?!"
- Seth/Anubis/Bast (whoever you didn't choose) wandering the lands. Perhaps a random lion with the other god hanging around with them?
The other gods will deal an additional 3 damage against you, though your own will still give battle boost.


Flavor Texts



"You spot an ikenty holding down a leopard and- oh my. You hightail it out of there, as you would like to keep your head."

"You see another lion walking beside what appears to be a [dog/cat/wolf]. The king's companion radiates power, and you decide to steer clear." (This one only appears with the two that you haven't chosen - i.e. Seth and Anbus if you've chosen Bast).

"You leap over a crack in the ground. The hissing from inside signals the presence of chthonic snakes that you can't quite reach."

"You notice a tree covered in scorch marks that look similar to scales. Seems like you're not the only one these damn snakes are terrorizing."

"As you pass by, you can see an elephant trample one of those snakes into the ground. Heh. That's what they get."

"You notice the most bizarre creature walk by. Maybe it's related to Apophis somehow? You don't want to risk it." [The soul of the Duat creature could appear here]

Hey, I like your ideas! :) Especially the one where you get to see the gods or goddess you didn't choose wandering with other lions. Great stuff.

YES. This event needs more than just snakes to kill.

This event is so boring, I dread it every year—which is a shame because the decor is amazing. I fully support any way to make explore more engaging and interesting in this event. And I love the way this suggestion is obviously well thought-out and descriptive!
