— ADVENTURES & EXCURSIONS —
The current Adventures & Excursions Charting Log can be found here.

As of September 2016, the game has shifted gears to take on a more exploratory route in an effort to help rebuild the world which had remained in a post-apocalyptic dying state for over eight hundred years. Has anything survived? Is anything salvageable? Can the world be restored? And what can be learned about the world's mysterious past? Or is that even important?

Perhaps rather than trying to solve a mystery, the more important thing is to determine what bits of land (if any) can be hospitable and used for additional resources to breathe some life back into this place. But who knows who or what lurks down there. Potential allies, dangerous threats—how the world changes will only be determined by those willing to make that change. Everything will be influenced by player suggestion and character action. It's a big, wide open world, ready to be developed—or destroyed.

There are two ways players can have their characters explore: player-run adventures and mod-guided excursions.


❖ Adventures

---

"Adventures" are expeditions set out by characters and are initiated by players. Adventures are going to be tailored to the characters and what the players wish to find. If you guys just want an action packed filled trip through some rock woods, we can do that. If you'd like to find something more plot relevant or something to advance plot, we can do that. You don't even need to be overly specific. Something as simple as "related to Peromei's history" is enough to give us something for you to work with.

Basically, adventures are for players and characters who like to strike out on their own and do something outside of the usual stuff going on.

» Requesting an Adventure. Players will need to comment to this subthread and fill out the form. Once approved, we'll give a notice and send the details through PM. To request an adventure you only need to give us the following:

• Who is in the party;
  
• What the group hopes to accomplish;
  
• Where the group may wish to focus on (you can even make your own map!);
  
• When the expedition will take place;

and other details but those are the four main things you'll need to figure out first.

» Charting the Adventure. After a request is approved, you will need to make your own log and reply again with the link so we can add it to the chart.

» Revisiting locations. Unless specified, all locations should be able to be revisited either by the same group or another group. Most locations will likely be a one-time deal, but there may be some that could hold new things or may need a check-up. Maybe you think of a new plot twist to work with the location setting. Or maybe you'd like a location related or next to a pre-existing. Regardless, if it's possible, a group can go back for whatever reason.


❖ Excursions

---

"Excursions" are similar but different in scope compared to Adventures. Whereas an Adventure is mostly player run, Excursions are designed by the mods and ICly is organized by the ESO (Empatheias-Shaarnath-Otherworld Collaborative). Each month we will announce in the monthly Mod Announcement "focused locations" that those interested can go to. Within the excursions, we'll have certain locations, goals, and other things in place. Players will still have leeway to create and add to the setting, but there are some guidelines that they need to follow and tasks to and accomplish (or fail). You can think of "Excursions" as like background events that those interested can participate without having to worry about coming up with their own ideas; like a job to do.

» Excursion Missions. Each Excursion will have at least one or two special missions accompanied with it. Those are the goals that those participating should try to do and are listed on the Task Board. While the majority of these tasks will be on site, there may be some that can be done within Verens or Shaarnath. These "special missions" are completely optional—one can do an Excursion and have their own particular goal or task in mind instead. But if you are taking on a special mission, you will need to include it when signing up as well as indicating how you hope it will go (such as succeeding or failing). You can either have a pre-planned group, join an open one, or start an open group of your own. Once you know how the mission goes or if you already know how it will be, reply again to your comment so we can note how things went.

» Signing-up. To participate in an Excursion, we will have a specific subthread made in this post for those to sign-up. Each subthread will have the basics entailed and, if applicable, a form to fill out. No approvals necessary—once you sign-up it's assumed that the characters will figure out a way to join.

» Logs. After we see that there is some interest for participation, a log will be made within the week. In the log we'll include any other details not already mentioned, but after that players have free rein in terms of what they do.

» Timeline. While Excursions are available for the entire month, once there is interest the there will be a 1 to 2 week period for actual IC activity. This doesn't mean that characters are in the location for that long. They could be there for a couple days, return home, then go out again. But the Excursion itself can only last for a certain period of time before funds run out and everyone is kicked out or risk being stranded. For the record, getting lost or stranded and have a group come out and save them as a follow-up Adventure or Excursion is completely viable.

» Adventures. Those who are doing their own Adventures can actually run in tangent with Excursions if they so choose. While not directly related—such as being in a completely different area or focusing on something else—it's possible for a group to find something related or do something that could affect Excursion groups in some way.



❖ How to Travel

---

You may be wondering how characters will go about traversing through the surface, especially when the atmosphere is toxic and the world is ready to suck the emotional life out of anyone unprepared. So first, let's talk about the protection and supplies.

» Dunamis and Crystals. Dunamis and complete crystals are going to be the keys in offering the best protection against the dying world's environment. Strong emotion based barriers can be erected to repel the outer influences. However, it's not impervious nor can it last forever, especially dunamis. But it can be assumed that those from Shaarnath will assist any who venture outward, either for free or for pay.

» Arehtei assistance. The Arehtei will also gladly offer some means of protection if asked. Usually it will take the form of a small charm, like a feather from Elios or a scale from Thras. Again, these will only last for a few days and does not protect them from everything.

» Supplies. If part of ESO, then it can be assumed that necessary supplies are given. If striking out on your own, then characters will need to procure money and supplies somehow. That of course can be handwaved. We don't need proof of this.


Now let's talk about the means of travel.

» Airships and other large transportation vehicles. Verens is pulling in their weight by offering airships to help ferry people over large distances. They are also in the works of manufacturing other large machines to cross the land, and eventually ships to deal with the oceans. Of course they're a small city so don't expect a whole fleet or armada anytime soon, but there should be a good number soon. However, travel distance is still limited as the atmosphere is not the safest for the current available airships. But they are good for carrying cargo. ESO can provide these, but it's possible to hire outside the organization.

» Teleporter coordinates. Shaarnath has a few coordinates to unspecified locations around. It's also possible to throw in random coordinates and try one's luck (and hope that the other side works to bring them back). While the teleporter can handle larger groups, it would be more useful for general short recon trips as only so much can go through at once. It also means that the group will be walking, so can only carry so much.


Finally, we'll touch up a bit more on how players can help with the worldbuilding aspect and pretty much design the type of place they'd like to go to.

» Location suggestions. The world is basically a free world ready to be molded and shaped. It's also kind of broken so it'll eventually reshape again. We are completely open to location ideas. Should there be a continent frozen under black ice? An island in the center of a giant whirlpool? Other floating islands? Chain of volcanoes? So long as you keep in mind that the world is on its death throes, anything is free game!

» Design your own island/continent/area. With this cool map generator, you can design your own island or land mass with some details like lakes, trees, hills, mountains, ruin towns. It's basic, but it totally would work for our purposes. Here's an example of some random place. Since there's no real pre-existing map, anything is fair game. You can even add to already existing designed maps.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask when requesting your Adventure.


❖ Worldbuilding Suggestions

---

We are always open for ideas in terms of locations, goals, setting environments, even maps for all of this. So if you have any suggestions for any aspect for worldbuilding, please comment to this subthread!

[spirialink]

Players: Kyo, Henry, Mich
Characters: Kor Meteor (Thras), Caius Qualls (Elios), Sora (Piphron)
Location: Their destination was the southernmost tip of the main continent, located in part of Elios' domain, pictured here.
Goal: The trio was sent to investigate an abandoned industrial town called Ferinde. There, they found a wasted town that was the site of a battle at some point in the past, corpses of soldiers and civilians alike littering the landscape. There were abandoned weapons of destruction laying about, as well as strange organic creatures made of pure negative emotion that threatened to corrupt anything their ooze touched, even the heroes! At the center of the town was an old research facility, still active for some reason. The group manages to disable the facility and recover the core powering it still, bringing it back to Verens for further research.
When: It took place on 9/19, over here.
Other/Questions: Nope.

i'm not copying kyo

[gottacatch]

Players: Reena, Henry, Sarah, Ax, Taku
Characters: Red (Sosyne), Caius Qualls (Elios), Frog (Thras), Rei Hino (Sosyne), Cilan (Daimonia)
Location: Quarry
Goal: With a new code discovered for the teleporter, it was this group that set out to investigate where it would take them. Where that place was, was a quarry, with equipment long rusted over and many of the tunnels caved in. Their first visit would allow for the most discovery, where one half of the two teams would locate an area where blueprints and some of the crystals were extracted both from the machinery and the walls, where signs already existed of someone taking sections not that long ago.

And possibly not the actual crystal-eating basilisk monsters that loved to make a snack out of them. Munch munch.

Apathy is the emotion present within the entire location, its effects increasing the deeper anyone went into the caverns. Images were collected at a later point of the biggest sites of interest, as well as copies of the blueprints, which were then (or will) later be shared with Rebekkah Forsyth. Crystals found inside the machinery give off a glow and are surrounded with symbols -- and the machines themselves had labelling on them connecting them to the city 'Areta'. Because that was the label. Oh boy.
When: 28/09, with further visits from then on to explore for anything else of interest. Log is here.
Other: Gonna take two of those basilisks for the studying too okok.

Archiving too...

[hadthehighground]

Players: Darkfeather, Loki, Gen
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Sosyne), Qui-Gon Jinn (Sosyne), Anakin Skywalker (Elios)
Location: A rusting, formally underwater city where an ocean used to be.
Goal:
After hearing about Sosyne's mishap with pond hell, Obi-Wan decides to take a trip to the surface with Qui-Gon and Anakin to see if they can heal any of the Arehtei's homelands. They will be taking one of the airships from Verens with protection from a Dunamis expert from Shaarnath. Having to battle negativity muck and terrible apathy, they will be scoping out the city they come across and the power plant there.

They will also be doing a long meditation session to see if they can help this place at all. Because meditating and being calm is what you're good at if you're a Jedi, or supposed to be anyway.
When: 9th of October, that's when the log will go up. Will post when it is.
Other/Questions: Also protection charms from Sosyne would be nice???

*Not* archiving, take that ... yeah ...

[absolutevalue]

Players: Kyio, Kyo, Mich, Straya
Characters: Zero (Sosyne), Kor (Thras), Sora (Piphron), Dezel (Elios)
Location: Cave system in Thras' domain.
Goal: We're hoping to find any sort of significant artifacts or any other things in a similar vein related to Thras that can later be reported to him by his representative (Kor), and other generic treasure stuff too if possible. Since I also plan to have a heavy act of bravery take place for Zero to switch his alignment to Thras during this (I'll post to the alignment switch too when it happens!), as well as a rockslide to forcibly split the group for a while, having the area be unstable or otherwise dangerous with some sort of threat lurking around it would be great too.
When: 10/7
Other/Questions: Is it safe to assume they'll receive some sort of protection from Thras while they're there?

Land restoration test

[gottacatch]

logging for archive purposes

[toschestation]

Players: Ryn, Skarme
Characters: Al (Piphron), Ed (Sosyne)
Location: A previously explored area outside of Shaarnath, out in the desert wastes.
Goal: Ed and Al wind up traveling because of wanderlust, and the need to explore. They happen upon an old town that had previously been explored, but behind a wall that they successfully knock down they find monsters and something even more interesting.

Old bulletpoint list we were given:
- Journey will lead to small town (already gone through at least once or twice by previous Shaarnath explorers)
- Not much in the town itself, main attraction will be a hospital
- Chemical traces lead to an unexplored area behind a collapsed wall
- Within is a medical lab room for running emotion tests
- Remains of a centrifuge that could actually spin out crystallized emotion from blood; people got tested for emotional imbalance.
- Records of various tests and analyses on patients with emotion problems
- Includes notes for treatment
- Hostiles can be up to the group

When: Late October
Other/Questions: We've already got the info.

[gottacatch]

Players:
Peromei Group: Reena, Sam, Laena, Ryuuto, Alsie
Sosyne Group: Reena, Laena, Pixle, Jax, Ax
Characters:
Peromei Group - Red (So), Komaeda Nagito (Pe), Helios (Pe), Sorey (Pe), Kazuki Makabe (Pe)
Sosyne Group - Red (So), Shizuo (So), Eikichi (Ai), Usagi Tsukino (El), Rei Hino (So)
Location: Peromei's domain, Sosyne's domain
Goal: Another "restoration" experiment (or so is the main objective in going), but on a smaller scale than the one in Elios's domain. This time, one piece of land connected to each of the Arehtei will be visited to see if a quick survey can show if anything is growing, and how long attempting to get something to grow will take, and for how long it will keep. It will be for one day, but not the entire day.

While this will include Thras's domain, Daimonia's and Piphron's, since those have easier access via teleporters, this request will be covering the people involved in going to Sosyne and Peromei's lands, and if the locations can possibly include anything of interest-- even if only it is something that shows their history. A small ruined settlement, or something else.

So, in general for both:
- anything particular about the type of architecture.
- any leftovers from the war
- any notes about dangers. Would there be any hostile forms around, any skeletal remains, ghosts, etc.
- also any water source in Peromei's land should include black despair goo tyvm
- any statues, murals that can still be made out
- any pieces of technology that might be able to be salvaged
- anything like a map that can be retrieved!
- Give me turtle shell remains in Sosyne's area. thanks. or give me still somehow living turtles. or some kind of living creature/monster in sosyne's domain (i wasn't even the one who asked for this, promise (but i want the turtle shells))
- Any books possibly, accessories; anything to indicate what type of trade the area consisted mostly of
- and of course, anything that reflects what the people were like!

When: Within this month, on a singular separate day for each. I will update with proper dates once the logs go up.
Other/Questions: I would appreciate as well information on how small tests and a survey for any growing life in the domains Thras, Daimonia, and Piphron, and also at the quarry Red went to with a group last month. I'm assuming Aiada will be covered by the excursion this month, so I'll leave that for then. \o

(So basically, can anything be found growing, how long does it take to make something to grow and how long does it stay)

[elementalshot]

Players: Yukina & Kyio
Characters: Milla Maxwell (Thras) & Zero (Thras)
Location: I envisioned them discovering a small floating island that's mostly water with catacombs and caves and stuff that looks like an old civilization of some sort. Like so and also like this.

Goal: In general I'm just hoping for a fun CR building adventure for the two characters so they can show off their mad skillz and all that BUT I have some specific goals in mind too.

1) Jude has been conducting research on a way to make a "shield" of sorts to help dampen the effects anger has on the world and the Arehtei and vice versa. I was hoping Milla and Zero could find something to bring back to him to help him with that research... like a catalyst to make the "shield" or something along those lines. Griff confirmed/approved this. ("Lae knows of my woes of pretending to be smart." -Griff, 2016)

2) I'm interested in the mechanical animal.. things... that showed up during the last event and that Milla has fought before when she discovered the ruins. I was wondering if anything more can be found about them... even a dangerous encounter where they have to fight another one because Milla and Zero love beating stuff up together. It's how they bond. Either way I would love some type of dangerous monster encounter since I also have plans to injury Milla a bit here.

3) Assuming we do get to run into the mechanical animals that were in Thera Zero is interested in taking a part or two of them back so one of his castmates can maybe study it.

When: Hoping for next week! Probably mid-week since it's a long weekend, yay.
Other/Questions: N/A

[invigorates]

Players: LiLi, Ryn, Candace
Characters: Lioriley (Peromei), Luke Skywalker (Peromei), Nahyuta Sahdmadhi (Peromei) lmao
Location: Somewhere in Peromei's domain would be preferable, though we would be happy with finding a floating island with heavy Peromei influence instead if that is easier to come up with something for! We would like to focus on ruin exploration, preferably something bigger.
Goal: While we'd be interested in being provided with a monster or two to fight, our goal is mainly exploration and information gathering, largely about Peromei, her land and people specifically, or anything that she and her people may have been involved in or spearheaded in the past.
When: Mid-November
Other/Questions: I think we mentioned above but we would love some specific information regarding a monster or two to fight, and information about a possibly underground or above ground ruin to explore. The information within is open to what you guys think would fit the overall narrative the best, but we definitely want it to be based on Peromei and her people in the past! Technology, Culture, or even old art, tapestries and the like would be interesting to find, in particular if the tapestries tell a story for the three of them to try and deciper. We'd love as much detail on anything as you can give us, since all three of them are massive nerds and would be more excited about this aspect than the actual monster fighting aspect. We just realize that this kind of stuff would HAVE to have some kind of obsticle or seven to get past in order to obtain.

[opportunitycosts]

Players: Laena and Kira
Characters: Alvin (Pi), Presa (Pi)
Location: A place that has temple ruins, preferably near or in a forest (or remnants of a forest)
Goal: IT'S THEIR HONEYMOON TRIP, but they mostly just want to explore something that is of older civilization, or at least not as modern. It's mostly just an adventure trek, but finding just trivial things or clues about culture and maybe religion is cool.

Nothing plot relevant is needed, just in it for the spice of adventure! (And fluff.)
When: Starting around 11/17 and lasting a couple of days
Other/Questions: Nooope

[gottacatch]

Players: Reena, Dani, Lym, Sarah, TF, Taku, Wighty, Sker, Terra, Yukina, Grif, Sam, Gore, Len
Characters: Red (So), Shun Aonuma (Da), Presa (Pi), Frog (Th), Bianca (Da), Cilan (Da), Edea Lee (Th), Barry Allen (Da), Elize Lutus (El), Milla Maxwell (Th), Emizel (Pe), Komaeda Nagito (Pe), Gundam Tanaka (Pi), Hinata Hajime (Pi)
Location: No preference for who the area is connected to or what it's like!
Goal: The group would like to go to a location recommended by Daimonia that she might believe, if asked, to be of importance or worth investigating, whether because it holds some relevance to herself or because she believes it may hold some information about the past (or present??) that may be salvageable! Our adventure is in your flippers, Daimonia. Give us the good stuff.
When: Prob middle of December, will def update with a better date once the log is made.
Other/Questions: Finding information in some form would be great, whether it's connected to the war or some other tidbit you would be willing to give our way. We promise to share any discoveries!!
Dangers in any form are a-okay, be as gentle or as cruel as you please! Obviously we are okay about what the land is like, whether it's on the surface or floating or what's on it. We'll take anything you can throw in regards to the setting, what's lying around (corpses or otherwise), if there's any connection to the war to be found or not, or whatever else. An idea of where the location is too would be nice.
Also, I would appreciate a note about if anything is growing there at all, and what the results would be attempting to make life grow and how long it lasts. B) b gotta check.

Restoration attempt

[gottacatch]

Players: Sosyne location - Darkfeather, Jax, Gen, Reena, Sarah
Thras location - Sam, Molly, Luna, Dani, Reena, Sarah
Characters: Sosyne location (near the broken lighthouse) - Obi-Wan Kenobi (So), Usagi Tsukino (El), Qui-Gon Jinn (So), Red (So), Frog (Th) two times and perhaps one or two more people.
Thras location (somewhere outside Shaarnath) - Atsushi Nakajima (Th), Thereth (El), Emil Castagnier (Th), Shun Aonuma (Da), Red (So), Frog (Th)
Location: Returning locations! The lighthouse near the dried out "lake", and a location outside of Shaarnath for Thras group.
Goal: Practice restoring a part of the world!

Sosyne location - Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn will be going here due to its connection to Sosyne and to see what a 2-3 day non-stop Jedi-flavoured meditation session will result in, entering in their zone and exuding their calm. Jedi are able to slow down their metabolism to the point where eating and sleeping is for chumps.

Usagi and Red will be returning for a less amount of time, but on 4 different days, staying for about 3 hours at most per visit, and mayyy or may not have company depending on schedules (edit: Frog will join them for 2 visits). Red will be using his own dunamis to support their concentration during similar meditation type sessions, which involves boosting concentration/focus on an emotion, and letting them stay in that semi-trance for a time (similar to how one supports a pillar during the Arehtei rituals, but without establishing a connection to Sosyne and allowing the emotions to leave into the area). ...also they're probably just going to have some fun in other means, really. So 70% calm/excitement, 30% other emotions.

Thras location: This will be an area somewhere outside Shaarnath (idk where, near a hill?? is there absolutely no dead trees around to chill by?), and the method used will be what Red does with Usagi-- a type of ritual session without the established connection to any Arehtei, with Red using his dunamis and experience to pull their focus towards "bravery". They will stay for around 3 days early in the month and may also make a visit later in the month for 2 or 3 days. Before holiday plans.

Since they'll be staying in Shaarnath for this time, they will likely split the sessions up through the day, making them last around 2-3 hours total at most, but giving themselves rest inbetween. Red will have his pokémon on watch in case this at all attracts anything towards them.

Details about any changes this make result in, either temporary or permanent, would be appreciated! What can be expected, what will or won't happen.

When: Beginning of December and end of for Thras group, *maybe*. Maybe down one or two people since it's hard to say this early and I don't want to restrict people and their plans, but!! There shall definitely be visits and I will finalise all the dates/etc at the end of the month.
Other/Questions: i promise this is the last for this month.

[spirialink]

Players: Kyo, Yukina
Characters: Kor (Thras), Milla (Thras)
Location: idk wherever. UHH I MEAN, I don't have a specific place in mind, wherever would be suitable!
Goal: Going on an adventure through some unknown area would be pretty cool. They're both strong fighters with boundless curiosity. Our main goal here is that we're going to create a scenario for Kor and Milla to deepen their friendship and finally create a Somatic Bond together after being friends for so long in Emp. Plot's cool, but a random adventure of insignificance is fine too.
When: Late December
Other/Questions: NAH

[lostapprentice]

Players: Ryoko, Darkfeather
Characters: Kylo Ren (Aiada), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Sosyne)
Location: Aiada's jungle from the excursion!
Goal: Aiada has asked Ren to go fetch the rest of her sprites from the jars. This is what they shall do, with the fluff tagging along.
When: 2nd or 3rd of January.
Other/Questions: Uhhhhhhhh I don't think we need anything really?

[gottacatch]

Players: Open adventure to all, possibly
Characters: ^^^
Goal: I'd like to help encourage a return trip to the area supplied for this adventure, but taken to to investigate the area farther and to see what can be found due to the signs that people had been there not protected by an Arehtei, by their knowledge! So either following the map or any signs and with hopefully finding people, if there's any to be found! Let's dig in deep, guys.

What this will involve of course will be up to you guys, or how you would want to do it, either as a mod-directed event or if you would prefer me to put up a log, etc. I'm happy to help in whatever way I can, either ICly or OOCly. I COULD PROBABLY ASK QUESTIONS WHEN/IF YOU GIVE ME DETAILS... but yeah UH. If you guys want to keep this close to your chests, that's understandable.

Actually here let me put down question/thoughts:

- They took a copy of the map left behind, so following that and attempting to find any worn tracks, or surveying the area for anything that sticks out from above or below, whether investigated during this trip or on previous trips made either by... PCs, or NPCs, as the information of the first trip would've been passed on. Red specifically is speaking/has spoken to Rebekkah Forsyth about this. This is what I imagine would help them find possible leads or areas of interest.
- Locations that we didn't go into that were on the map would be interesting if characters might want to go into those areas to investigate and not on whatever the "main" path would be (finding out what was up about those tents, whaaaatt), but I don't know how simple/complicated you would want to make this! I'm pretty okay with whatever, personally.
- Potential dangers is always of interest. Atmosphere, wildlife, humans, and of course in what they might find in specific locations that you give.
- If they will find people!! Also, I will assume that NPCs would also be around for something like this, yeah?

When: Possibly in February, or whenever would be convenient and not clash with already decided mod events. So no rush on giving me anything, I just like to put in plans when I can. \o
Other/Questions: --

[hadthehighground]

Players: Darkfeather, Sara, Nivi, Jax, Ryn, Mouself
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Sosyne), General Hux (Sosyne), Ezra Bridger (Sosyne), Usagi Tsukino (Elios), Edward Elric (Sosyne), Rey (Thras)
Location: Baizho
Goal:
Obi-Wan is returning with a group to the once submerged city in Sosyne land that he discovered a few months back, aka Baizho. The point of going is to make a restoration attempt with happy feelings and some Jedi Mind Tricking like they did at that one lake back in December.
When: Some time in the middle of February, let's say around the 15th or so.
Other/Questions: Just hoping for a little plot development here! They will be taking an airship like they did before, and a Dunamis expert again if they need to. And ask for protection charms. About how long will the trip take? A day or so each way?

[gottacatch]

I will need to update the players/characters involved list so separating this! This is for 3 trips.

[itsoktolive]

Players: Open adventure to all, hopefully.
Characters: ^^^
Location: Somewhere in Thras' land. Hoping for a bit of a city or so, but willing to work with whatever the mods want to focus on.
Goal: Atsushi wants to get a look at Thras land and see what damage can be repaired on the initial assessment. They have to start somewhere and this will be those first steps to helping his Aligned Arehtei. Whatever ruins might exist can be mapped out and items that need studied collected and taken back to the scholars on the island.

If it's just wildness it can still be mapped and explored. The main objective he has in mind is gathering what he can learn and see what effects they can cause.
When: Later half of the month, if that's fine. Can be moved around however.
Other/Questions: I'll update this with questions over time as Atsushi meets Thras and I form more thoughts. Thank you for your time.

[hundredspells]

Players: Open adventure
Characters: ^^^^
Location: Elios' island! At one of the old temples where they used to do marriage rites.
Goal: Basically, the goal is to be able to store the temple to it's former glory so those that are wanting to get married can get married there, or those that are lovers/already married can go there and get Elios' blessing. A couple of people who will be coming along are hopefully that by doing this, they'll be able to help bring life back to the surrounding area.

It'll give characters a change to expand CR and bond more, while working on dunamis and controlling emotions and using them to their advantage.

- Personal goal. Presa wants to do some research from the surrounding area to see what else there is and if she can find anything else.

When: Jaune and Presa will go a week early. Post will go up 12th of May.
Other/Questions: Because of how Presa is going to be doing some research before hand, is there a chance that she'll find anything interesting that she can either keep to herself/tell others? Some danger is fine with me because she can look after herself and Jaune will be with her.

Players: Reena, Jax
Characters: Red (So), Usagi Tsukino (El)
Location: Elios's domain
Goal: To find Elios, or to attempt to find him! Red will hear about Elios's strange mood during their talk at the flower festival, and Red will have some of an idea of where to look as a possible location due to their own previous conversations: towards the mountains, where a city has been seen in a memory pod related to Elios. If nothing can be found, no ruins or anything, then the next idea would be to find somewhere that's standing enough to find clues about where a "Philea" might be. ...or, if there's anything in the way of clues along the way in their search, or if Usagi might be able to sense out a general direction Elios might be in like aligned were able to feel for Sosyne in the past.

When: Towards the end of the month or beginning of the new month!
