Description


 
Welcome to the first board of the expedition game! This board will run until:

10th October

(midnight PST)

This board has been completed



Instructions

  • Each player may move their team once per day, between 1 and 3 squares per player. This means teams of 3 will have 3-9 moves per day and teams of 5 will have 5-15 moves per day.
  • To make a move, quote the number of squares and direction - e.g. 2 Left.
  • You can only move onto adjacent squares, i.e. no diagonals.
  • Each team will have a designated team thread in the comments. Please note the colour/look of your team marker and keep moves within those threads.
  • Every square you travel over will be uncovered, including ones you pass through without landing on. If the team has passed over:
    • An item, the character whose move it was when the team passed over will receive the item. Items will only be given out once.
    • A square adjacent to an item/discovery, that square will be indicated (it'll be a different colour) to let you know there's something nearby.
    • An obstacle, then the team must overcome the obstacle using their next moves.
  • To complete the board, the team must travel from the start zone to the end zone during the week. The goal is to do so while uncovering as many squares as possible.
  • If your team doesn't reach the end zone by the end of the week, it will remain on this board until it gets there. The obstacles and rewards will be removed at the end of the week, so this shouldn't take too long.
  • I will update the board at least once a day with results. Turn order does not matter, I'll just take moves chronologically.
  • The day turnover is as per the PST timezone.
  • You cannot save turns (e.g. take two turns in one day because you missed the previous day)



First Board Challenge:Forest Beasts!

  • Some squares are in the territory of aggressive forest denizens (e.g. giant bears). Passing through an animal's territory will require the team to defeat it to move on.
  • To defeat a beast:
  • When I notify that your team has encountered a beast, you will be given a numerical target to reach. The target will be scaled for the number of members in the team.
  • The next person posts 'Roll' for their turn - I will roll a number between 1 and 6 and subtract that from the target.
  • This repeats until the target reaches zero, with each subsequent member rolling for their daily turn.
  • When the target reaches zero, you have defeated the beast and may continue with however many turns the team has left for the day.
  • There are some variations, but you will receive further instructions if and when you encounter them.


Board features
  • Start point is the bottom left square, which indicates the shrine to Therras.
  • End zone is the top row (in light green). Reaching any square in the end zone will allow your team to progress to the next board.

  • Yellow squares indicate you are near an item/discovery
  • Orange squares indicate an item/discovery was on that square (but may not be claimed again as items are only given out once)
  • Tan squares indicate animal territory
  • Brown squares indicate different terrain - not dangerous but travel conditions change here.
  • Multicoloured squares indicate overlaps, e.g. yellow ringed with tan means it is animal territory, but there is an item nearby.
  • Grey squares cannot be moved onto.

  • You cannot cross the river except at the stone bridges. The lake can be explored but not crossed (i.e. you cannot cross the dark patch in the middle, only travel along the shore). Water you can go up to is coloured in lighter.
  • The green puffs indicate trees of note, i.e. particularly big trees that may have things in them. These can be climbed by landing on the tree's square(s) and then using one turn to climb. You can pass by them so no need to go around if you don't intend to climb. (The rest of the board is covered in trees too, but those aren't explorable.)



Items and Discoveries

  • Discovered items and such will be noted on the Expedition Bulletin . Some items will need to be combined with/applied to other things or used in particular locations, e.g. a locked box and a key - to do so, comment on the Expedition Bulletin.


Hope you have fun, guys!

Reply to this comment for Day 8 moves! However many turns you have left after reaching the end zone can be used on the new board. You get one extra turn (doesn't matter who gets it) to help you along. The beasts and remaining items will no longer affect you (though you get to keep the Rowan Ley Fawn until the end of the board).

Oh my, it looks like your team has arrived at a Bone Yard! Skeletons lie littered around what appears to be a bare altar. Many have been scavenged by animals, but there are still enough remnants to show that many people died here. Their possessions lie everywhere - scraps of ancient brocade, dirty and broken jewelry... among them, Margit picks up an Obsidian Ring Seal that seems to have survived the elements. An intricate pattern adorns the seal face. Perhaps it will help identify who the owner and all these people were...

You have climbed the tree - unfortunately, there's nothing up this one other than a lovely view. Fortunately, the curve of the land means you can see rather a lot further than the usual 3 squares radius. Approximately diagonal up and right of you (though distance is uncertain), there appears to be a hollow in the tree cover - perhaps there's something of interest there...

Oho, as Elen approaches the tree, she spots a Rowan Ley Fawn lazing under it. It seems to take an interest in her and the rest of the team. From now on with the help of the Fawn, you may move at 5 squares per turn until the end of the board. The limitation against moving backwards still applies in the Sentinel territory, however you may now move 5 per turn above the river too (with no limitations on direction there).

Board updated! You have entered the territory of the Sentinel Deer. They are attractive creatures with pointed features, two-pronged white horns that point straight vertically, and a black stripe along each side going from the nose, over the eye and down the neck to the tail. As you approach, you realise they are not aggressive. Rather, they will guide you through the forest as long as you are heading deeper into it. Until you reach the end of their expansive range (which extends up to the river but not beyond it), you may move up to 5 squares per turn as long as you are heading right, up or down. You may only head left by one square per turn (i.e. when you make one move left, your turn will be cut short at that point as this will lose their favour).

You have rolled a 3! The target has been reached; you have escaped the Swiren and may now move on!

You have five turns' grace to exit the territory of the Swiren; if you are still in it by then end of five turns (which is unlikely), you'll have to face them again X)

Oops, you have passed through the territory of very large Swiren  (each about 1.5m in length)! Your target to escape them is 8.
