Belljar Exploration Log, Week I.

[powersthatbe]

As your characters search the island for clues and the means to survive, please comment under the toplevels below to indicate which square you're exploring. In the body of your comment, please list any relevant skills or abilities that will help you search faster, more accurately, or more thoroughly, such as Control Panel, Questing Sense, Survivalism, etc.



A, B, E, F, & possibly G are the only immediately explorable options, but if 8+ individuals focus on one square, they'll be free to choose another adjacent square later this week.

A

While everyone is starting here, that doesn't mean every detail or nuance of the place is explored automatically.

Riddick is def starting here with the exploring, and looking immediately for sources of food, water, and protection, like caves and streams and driftwood and such, and definitely control panel will be a thing. But once he's got the local area down, he'll be heading in whichever direction he remembers "city" being, unless Questing Sense pulls him in another direction, cuz yeah, he'll be using that, too. (Goal is to teach it to Matthew, heh.)

Also, can we maybe have a picture of the map linked/posted on the exploration posts so we can see what we're doing without having to go hunting for it on the plotting post?

[powersthatare]

doing so!

[itsananimalthing]

Thank you! :) Very helpful.

We're going to be asking explorers from E to pick a second square this week, because 7 people, some with helpful skills, searched there, and that's more than enough. Given that Riddick spent some time here as well, and 3 other people contributed, if you select A as your 2nd square, that will be fully unlocked as well. Is that all right?

[itsananimalthing]

Works for me! I was planning on Riddick's second week exploration heading into J, so getting A and E finished with will lead smoothly into that :)

Raidou's Questing Sense is sending him out across the rocks in the ocean to get a better look at the forcefield. Luckily, he has flightworthy Sithen wings and demons who can make ice bridges, but it's doing nothing to counter his belief that his Questing Sense is a sadist.

He'll probably end up talking to any critters in the vicinity - most likely birds - and possibly using the mask he used in Nova Venezia to take a look around as well, since it has polarized lenses (although on the other hand, it probably wouldn't fit over his Sithen ears). He can also have a Volt demon cast Inspect on the rocks to see if there's anything important hiding on them.

River will be exploring around here.

Rosalie will be exploring around here. o7

Relevant skills: Synthetic form would allow her to search more systematically, accurately, and attentively. Enhanced strength and durability would probably help her too, especially when it comes to getting through difficult terrain (i.e. it's impervious to stinging plants that she might avoid if she stayed human).
