[ACTION | Caverns Expedition Log]

[antiseptic]

Log Deputy: Rei antiseptic and Charles makeitquick
Participating Characters: Jade Curtiss, Imogen Moreno, Flynn, Chris Ramirez, Ezreal, Melaka Fray, William Flemming, Varun "Banzu" Elmas, Eren Jaeger, Armin Arlert, Elhaym van Houten (Elly), Ondorus Univir, Lux Crownguard...possibly more! Feel free to gatecrash the party at any time.
Plot Description: A group of intrepid explorers set out in search of an iron mine. Things probably don't go as expected.
Warnings/Notes: Possible violence?

QUICK LINKS: Pre-exploration mingling | Travel | Arrival at Caverns | Group 1 | Group 2 | Group 3

Overview:
At 6AM, the group will be meeting at the city gates, where there'll be some time for mingling and last minute emergencies before they set off.

The group will travel east through the Verdant Forest for around half a day before reaching the Caverns. It will be freezing with a few flurries of snowfall. Try not to get lost! Or disturb hibernating Pokemon, for that matter.

At the Caverns, Jade will split everyone up into three groups. Group 1 will consist of Elly, Eren, Armin, Ondorus, Chris. Group 2 will be Jade, Melaka, Banzu, Flynn. Group 3 is Imogen, Ezreal, Flemming, and Lux. These groups aren't fixed, and characters are free to protest and try move around! Ideally, each group will end up with at least 4 members just for safety's sake.

Aaand after that, the exploration begins! At first there'll be nothing but caves and tunnels, but it shouldn't take very long for that to change...


Misc notes: Feel free to go wild with thread-jacking! The mods recommend not strictly enforcing a post order since things will probably stall that way. Also, if anyone wants a random wild Pokemon bonding encounter going in the mountains during any of this, just respond to the Map post as usual!

If you need to ask any questions, the quickest way to get in touch with me will be through PMs.

[Hey, by this point rage and passion are almost...comforting. In a really weird way, wow, but still. They mean Eren and Eren means safety and no bullies and no danger and no risk. Armin shifts Meredith to one arm in order to reach out and pat affectionately at the wing around him, a nearly automatic gesture by this point.

And then he frets, because he's Armin.] I hope I can successfully identify the formations in person. It's different when you're just reading about them.

;3;

[they are normal, at least. LIKE A SHOUNEN BLANKET, wrapped around his emotions. Eren shifts his wing a bit when it's patted, the metal primary feathers sliding past each other with a sound like sharpened blades]

I'm sure you'll do just fine. I mean, how hard can it be, huh?

[tinytactician]

[The fact that having all these sharp potentially deadly feathers close to his bare hands is comforting to Armin just drives home how weird the relationship these two have is.

Good weird. But weird.]

I reviewed the different between sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic on the way over, but finding usable ore is my priority today, right?

[stahlflugel]

[sometimes it's even more comforting to have something potentially dangerous nearby. Something dangerous, but not dangerous to you]

Yeah. We're looking for stuff the engineers can smelt to make iron and steel! Apparently the Delvers've picked the Old City clean. [Eren doesn't really believe that, but... hey...]
