Natural Resources Hex Sign-Ups

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.

As they keep exploring the lake area, they'll run into a few more of the giant, ugly-ass lake creatures--or, well, they'll have the opportunity to run into them. They can also observe them from afar. With enough observation, they'll be able to notice that there's two distinct... well, it's either sexes or sub-species to the lake creatures. One has faces a little more shaped like the upper one in this image, the other has ones shaped more like the lower ones.

Cassandra's new weapons will make hunting down another lake creature for dissection easier if they want to try it.

Mid-cycle (so, basically dusk) a small group of about a dozen of the large-tardigrades-with-faces will find their way to the lake via one of the rivers and streams that feeds into it, carrying what look like primitive spears. The three of them in the team can observe those tardigrades hunt and track the lake creatures. Depending how close Cassandra and Bern can get to the tardigrades, some of their conversation can be overheard and translated with Jaunt autotranslate.

(If you want to do a thread with them, contact Rika! She's NPCing them.)
