Try Not to Die, Monday, May 18, 2020

"Welcome back," Anakin said. "Today we are going to Kazakhstan, a country I'm not entirely sure I'm pronouncing right. It's kind of near Russia if that helps anyone?"

He pointed in a general way at the map and might've end up on Kyrgystan. Oops.

"Just like last week, you will have three different tasks to complete," he said, "but today we're start with a new and exciting competition! The first person to finish the challenge gets to skip the other two tasks and procede right to the end."

Because the challenge was...not delightful.

He clapped his hands together. "Welcome to Almaty! Try not to die."

Roadblock: Don't Chicken Out!

[sith_happened]

You're maybe gonna wish you'd tried harder on the sheep fat thing. You are at Alel Agro Chicken Factory and must search through 30,000 chickens for one of 11 golden eggs, which will be traded in for your next clue.

So one of the problems of being a dragon in a person suit? Animals could tell. And animals generally did not like being in close proximity with apex predators.

It was hard enough trying to search through 30,000 panicking chickens. It got even worse when some of those chickens decided to attack first.

Yeah, Julius was going to go down in a hail of feathers and angry squawking. It was luck alone that had him eventually finding a golden egg, while trying to keep the chickens off without hurting any of them.

Well.

That was hard?

Sorry, everyone, but Iris sauntered out of there after checking her very first chicken, golden egg in hand.

And whistling just to add insult to injury. Sure, it was all just luck but she was glad it was on her side today!

Alara was actually a bit surprised that it didn’t take her that long to find the golden egg.

It did take a few attempts but at least she didn’t have to search through all those chickens to do so.

Astrid might have been a little better at this if she hadn't been so concerned with being polite to the chickens at first, but, once she realized that the chickens had no intention of being polite to her, all bets were off, and there might have been at least one threat of turning their feathers into a multi-media art piece if they weren't careful!

Turns out Nell had missed the chickens she'd had at home. She got a little distracted. Oops.

Beaker was friends with chickens, which was not normally something that came in handy, but today really was.

A quick conversation and Beaker was on his way!
