Natural Resources Hex Sign-Ups

[powersthatbe]

As your characters team up to survey the wilderness of the smuggler's moon, please comment under the week's toplevels below to indicate which hexes you're exploring and who'll you'll be exploring them with. 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.



As a note: thanks to the expedition's hover vehicles, you can pick any hex on the map as your starting hex and any subsequent hexes chosen can be anywhere on the map--not necessarily contiguous to your first hex.

Re: Cycle One

OKAY SO. There's actually what looks like a series of cairns of river stones that have been placed at the edge of the river. They aren't uniformly spaced from each other, but they do look to have been deliberately placed there. The stones seem to have been selected for their aesthetic purposes. They are non-sentient. If crushed into powder and mixed with enough water to give a syrup-like consistency, they would actually make a decent meal for a Hecatite.

They'll be able to find and catalogue dozens of new species of plants and fungi. One species of fungi is poisonous to humans, but perfectly fine for Gorgons to eat. There's a species of flowering berry bush growing outside the shade of the trees where the crushed buries can be fermented for alcohol. Some of the root vegetables could also probably be turned into alcohol, but might not be so pleasant on their own. Naoki can attempt to mix in other plants they've found.

The small animals of this planet exhibit bilateral symmetry but have three sets of limbs instead of the two that earth animals usually have. They would have likely encountered a kind of flying small mammal that looks like a mix of squirrels and bats.
