*Bonfire Night is an english tradition, if you haven't heard of it I recommend you google it.*
The nights are getting colder, the sky's cloudier, and people come together for the winter. It's bonfire night. The community fires are dotted around London, the Fireworks shoot of into the air and- wait, is that a person up there?
The whole of London does in fact have an anti-damage charm on it, so everyone is indestructible.
This event will last until the 6th of november. All you need is to follow these 3 steps to join:
Intro your character walking into the beautiful Gardens of Buckingham palace. Your character can be new, or from a Tavern, and all that is required is that they are ready to fly. And not scared of heights.
Make sure your character does not have any magic items on them, cannot fly, and cannot cast spells. Some class and race abilities will not work as London can be strange place. No pvp will be allowed on the ground, though in the air is a completely different matter.
Have your character walk over to one of the fireworks in the garden. There's a handle for them to hang onto. When you are ready your character can light the firework and you can start!
Once your firework is off and you're holding on to it, You can take a special action: Rocket. When you take this action you need to roll a d20. (Inbuilt dice roller please.) Your firework has 20 points of fuel. What you roll on the d20 is how much fuel you lose.
If you still have fuel points left after this action then you successfully travel 100 meters into the air.
If you do not then your firework explodes and you fall back down to where you took off from. You may walk over to another firework and get ready to try again.
Example: If you take off from the gardens using the Rocket action and lose 10 fuel, (Rolling a 10 on the d20) then next time you take the Rocket action you will only have 10 fuel points left. Please put how much fuel you have left in a separate post after you have taken your Rocket action. Your fuel count resets every time you run out and your firework explodes.
Once you have taken the Rocket action then your turn is over. Please end your post there. You must wait for someone else to take the Rocket action before you can take it again.
At certain heights there will be checkpoints. Once you reach them they become your new launch place, so if you run out of fuel and you firework explodes you fall back to them instead of the palace gardens and get to start from the height they're at. Reaching a new checkpoint also comes with other benefits, including faster Fireworks and lots more fuel.
Any questions just ask :)
Fire away!
Height record: 23100m, held by Drummer_the_Dragon_Slayer
Checkpoints:
The palace gardens: Yondor_The_Fantastic.
Checkpoint 1: The Crystal Viewing Platform- 200m: If you have proof that you made it here, then:
Your character jumps of the firework and onto a big floating glass platform just as the firework explodes. You have a great view from up here, looking down on millions of people, incredible buildings and even most of the fireworks themselves. All around you there are fireworks ready to take off.
Your character respawn's here from now on, and fireworks fired from here have 40 fuel and go up 175 meters every successful Rocket action you take. The next checkpoint is at 700m, so 500m from the Crystal viewing platform, and it looks like a big balloon with searchlight beams coming from it.
Checkpoint 2: The Airship- 700m: dragon8824, Dndlover3, Baalzeboop ZeusTheGreat173. If you have proof you made it here then:
The second checkpoint takes the form of a massive airship, search lights beaming down from it, and dozens of fireworks scattered on top of it.
Each firework fired from here is in fact 2 fireworks strapped together. They have 80 fuel, and go up 300ft every successful Rocket action. Checkpoint 3 is a speck in the sky, registering at 3100ft. 2400ft from checkpoint 2.
Checkpoint 3: A house lifted by balloons (Like from the movie Up)- 3100m: ScyriaEtVenator, BL4cKBE4r. If you have proof that you have reached here then:
Fireworks fired from here are actually four fireworks strapped together with a glass chamber in the middle for you to sit in. When you get in, a telepathic voice says, "Commencing lift off in 3... 2... 1... We have lift off." And then you blast off.
Each firework fired from here has 200 fuel and goes 1000ft every rocket action. Checkpoint 4 is at 23100ft, so 20,000ft from checkpoint 3.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A man in a cheap Halloween costume and a Guy Fawkes mask walks into the gardens. He puts his bucket of candy on a small metal wire table and walks over to the fireworks.
He grabs a handle and pulls out a lighter. After a couple of failed strikes, it lights.

You zoom up 100 meters. Halfway to the next checkpoint, but using over half your fuel. *Editing OP*

That Rocket action won't count, as you must wait for someone else to Rocket before you can again.

Baalz, your character jumps of the firework and onto a big floating glass platform just as the firework explodes. You have a great view from up here, looking down on millions of people, incredible buildings and even most of the fireworks themselves. All around you there are fireworks ready to take off.
New checkpoint: Baalz's character respawn's here from now on, and fireworks fired from here have 40 fuel and go up 175 meters every successful Rocket action you take. The next checkpoint is at 700m, so 500m from the Crystal viewing platform, and it looks like a big balloon with searchlight beams coming from it.

New checkpoint: Baalz's character respawn's here from now on, and fireworks fired from here have 40 fuel and go up 150 meters every successful Rocket action you take. The next checkpoint is at 700m, so 500m from the Crystal viewing platform, and it looks like a big balloon with searchlight beams coming from it.
Might want to put that in the OP, as some people might make progress when your offline

Good idea, I will. Also I edited it so the firework goes up 175m every successful Rocket action, because 150 made it too hard for only checkpoint 2.

A small little goblin with a mug of beer and a messy beard walks over to the nearest firework, sneers, and takes off.
