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.

[Ah, that makes sense.]

Can Spur-Mesh fight?

[outtahere]

[That's actually never come up since they've met. Spur-Mesh is level 5 though, which implies some experience. Banzu looks over his shoulder at the Klink, whose rotation speed and direction rapidly change a few times before returning to normal. He looks back at Jade.]

Looks like a "yes". Never seen 'em have to though.

[antiseptic]

Then let's hope it'll continue to not be necessary for him to demonstrate.

[But it's good to know that Banzu will have some measure of protection.]

[outtahere]

Yeah, but we'll prolly run into something that wants to eat us.

[What, isn't Jade going to be defending him? :> ]

[antiseptic]

[In case of emergencies, his own skin is the most important.]

You certainly seem cheerful about the prospect of being eaten.

[outtahere]

[He smirks slightly.]

Naw, but if anything does eat me, I'm hoping it'll get the runs for a few days.
