Libet

[superheroine]

an expedition

Expedition An ancient tomb called "Libet" in the Cinderbreach. Dates November 13-19th, 2011 Inspirations Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, National Treasure, the Mines of Moria, Raithwall's Tomb. General plotline Travelers explore a tomb they find in the Cinderbreach mountains, only to discover its origins... and what is buried there, in the deep labyrinthian twists and turns. Miscellaneous Characters will face obstacles (collapsed walls, floors, etc) as well as mazes, and for a portion will be divided into groups to get through (courtesy walls dropping into place to divide them up.) Like the Park Ride in Jurassic Park, it will hopefully give characters a little bit of time with a smaller group to build CR. There will be some fighting, though it will be minimal.

map is a rough approximation to give you an idea, not intended to show scale or whatever. i'm not a cartographer :( Sunday, November 13th Residents set out for the Cinderbreach. They make camp in the mountains that night, and encounter some strange native creatures. Monday, November 14th They arrive at the tomb's opening and, as a group, manage to open the door. Unfortunately, once they enter, the doors swing closed behind them and are sealed by a glowing white light. To get back out, they'll have to find the right artifacts and put them on the altars. They continue on, and make camp in an atrium. Sleep well... if you can!!!1 Tuesday, November 15th While traveling through the caves, things get crazy: while the residents are walking, a sudden cave-in leaves the residents divided with no way to reach each other. The only way on, it seems, is to continue on separately, even if it means some might never return... Wednesday, November 16th The groups proceed down their paths, having a grand ol' time. Thursday, November 17th The groups proceed down their paths, having an even grander ol' time. Meanwhile, back at the castle, a flare is seen in the sky, but there's no way of telling where, exactly, it came from. It's a signal, but who is it for? Friday, November 18th The residents regroup and regather. Everyone's more than ready to go home and rest and reflect and do other things that start with 'R', but is Paradisa really where they want to go? Saturday, November 19th Hours before the residents reach the border, chaos erupts back at the castle.

**IF YOU ARE NOT ON THIS LIST AND YOU WANT TO BE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP** I am trying to keep numbers somewhat even but I can try to get you on the team you'd like. ICly, the post is here. TEAM ONE Agent Carolina Allen Walker Alleyne Coraline Jones Django Eleventh Doctor Gwaine Jet Nico di Angelo Percy Jackson Ritsu Kasanoda Son Goku Thomas Elliot Xena MISSION STATEMENT When the residents are divided, the first team finds themselves at the beginning of what could be the most taxing gauntlet they've ever run in this place. They seem to be trapped in ruins of what was once a gigantic stone fortress, and you can imagine how "ruins" go -– missing pathways, walls of rubble, chasms above dark, seemingly bottomless pits. Water runs freely in some places with only narrow ledges above, and sometimes all you have to help you climb is the remains of a broken bridge or a chipped former window-ledge. It'll take team work and resourcefulness to get through this one, all while avoiding some of the native wildlife. TEAM TWO Arthur Pendragon Asano Rin Katharine Pierce Helen Magnus Hermione Granger James Watson John Egbert Lana Lang River Song Rose Lalonde Terezi Pyrope Vanyel Ashkevron Winifred Burkle Yamanaka Ino MISSION STATEMENT "Getting messy" is always a given on expeditions, whether it's being drenched in Doctor Fog's guts or getting too wrapped up in a political disaster, but this one might be a little more life-threatening. It seems this team has run into this old tomb's security system, and they'll only have a limited time to solve the puzzles that allow them to move from room without getting "eliminated." Why bother making it to the end, you ask? The heart of the tomb, where the skeletons of this place's own residents hold an important clue to what happened to this old place. TEAM THREE Ashura Colette Brunel Felix Harrowgate Hellboy Jr. Kallen Kouzuki Nepeta Lejion Nudge Ray Stantz Sherlock Holmes The Rookie Vriska Serket Uchiha Sasuke MISSION STATEMENT This group manages to avoid the security system –– sorry, Team Two –– and gets a short-cut right into the lobby of a disturbingly familiar place. The architecture's different, sure, there's a grand staircase, moulding old couches, the dank remains of potted plants... if you fixed this place up, it could look like another hotel in a chain. Didn't they just leave Paradisa? But there's got to be more to it than that -- a hunt through residents' rooms might turn up some more information, or maybe even the castle's remaining inhabitants. TEAM FOUR Anders Apollo Daisy Wick Kaito Tsukanda Kat-320 Kuchiha Minnie Mouse Noble Six Sir Durge Stephanie Brown Ted Mosby Temperance Brennan MISSION STATEMENT Everyone else seems to have gone up or in, but this team's path seems to be careening off in a different direction, out and away from the rest... that's because when the area collapsed, these guys found themselves on a long, fast, and far-reaching slide. When they slow to a halt, they'll find themselves in relatively open area, passing through a brief bit of dead forest and winding up in a city. Way in the distance? The ruins of a giant fortress, where your friends are running around. Over here? An abandoned city, looking like it was designed and built in some far-flung future century and then abandoned for a couple hundred years. God knows what you'll find in here, but hopefully it's a way out. TEAM FIVE Alleria Windrunner Daine Sarrasri Fifth Doctor Fluttershy Kitty Pryde Sylvanas Windrunner Uzumaki Naruto Vereesa Windrunner Violet Baudelaire York and Delta Zelos Wilder MISSION STATEMENT Finding the artifacts and buried treasure and secrets is all fine and good, but it means nothing without a way to escape. That could be changed when Team Five discovers what appears to be an abandoned subway system, complete with maps. The rails can't exactly be crossed without a vehicle –– and who would enjoy risking a long plummet into the darkness? –– but if they can get the subway up and going and avoid any, erm, opposition, maybe they can make an escape possible for everyone.

PLOT LEADER: Jenn a great fanfare on AIM PLOT ASSISTANTS: Ashley never die ftw on AIM Kayla terraqueous orb on AIM Ruru noondayclock on AIM Val valawie on AIM "IC" LEADERS: TEAM ONE: Alleyne (Atma) gainoscologist on AIM TEAM TWO: Asano Rin (Senri) sushiflop on AIM TEAM THREE: Jr. (Jesse) variare on AIM TEAM FOUR: Noble Six (Dragon) rainstormdrake on AIM TEAM FIVE: Alleria (Odell) apple mummy on AIM Note that these people aren't elected by their teams nor must they be deferred to as leaders, I just like having someone(s) on teams to look out for everyone and see their team through. A sort of shepherd dog, if you will, so no one gets left behind. B) Someone I can IM if I need to ask something but don't have time to read the incoming hundreds of comments/endless threads.

brb getting myself an indiana jones hat and a whip

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

I already have them. /is a cool kid

[redisdelicious.livejournal.com]

This is amazing ♥

[courageous-wit.livejournal.com]

SWEET. I'm so excited for this.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/]

I think (looking at work schedule and days off) Fred would very, very much like to be last minute addition if you've got room!

[superheroine]

Sure thing :) What team sounds best?

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

This looks so so awesome. Thanks for all the details and maps and askdjfhskf this looks so cool.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

For Team 4, if no one else will, I'm sure Six would be willing to play herding dog.

[superheroine]

That works! Brennan's gonna help Six by being in charge of Not Damagin the Ruins In THe Process, too. Pfft, scientists.

[teds-up.livejournal.com]

Ted will gladly lead the team for all of five seconds before he goes off to geek over the wondrous ruins.

[truthin-bones.livejournal.com]

asldkfjasdlkfjasdlkj I needed to call a hiatus today because of applications for graduate school, but I'd still really love to be involved with this and man, Bren would totally step up as a team leader for team four since she came into the game while leading a dig.

But I'm guessing I probably can't be on hiatus and be involved in this plot and laskdfjalskdj stupid stupid stupid priorities. D:

[superheroine]

Hopefully, because we have smaller groups, we can do more backtagging on this, so not all hope is lost? Obviously, graduate applications are really important, so you can't really blow those off just to lead a team. What if Noble Six played leader on team 4 from a safety/security/fighting/recon/whatever perspective, and Brennan led the more "investigating artifacts" sciencey type stuff [I assume] she's prone to?

[tomatoandbasil.livejournal.com]

Alright, team 1, we have muscles on our muscles and can open cans with our teeth! That said, here's a list of shit I'm giving the elf in case you want tag ideas or some such.

-She'll be going in a fur-lined cloth bikini with longer loincloth, fur-lined leather boots and gloves, and a fur-lined cape with hood. No cute cap this time.

-Equipped with bolas, her staff/spear thing, and a sturdy dagger but that will be more an all purpose tool and not a weapon.

-The Fucking Ridiculous Eating Device (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Ration_Eating_Device) and the Spoon-Fork Mystery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusikkahaarukka)

-Notebooks/gradebooks for notes/drawings/grades. You didn't think you'd escape being graded, did you? 0 points for assumptions!

-A canteen, a hammock, a flint and steel, a deep dish cooking pan, and a miniature bear can to store food in. Can make things like skewers and roasting spits and bow drills out of nature-y stuff. Will just use her cape as a blanket.

-Her brain full of survival/camping/hunting knowledge.

-Lots of jerky, pemmican, dried fruits, and nuts. All homemade. More than enough to share, just in case.

-Lots of fairy jizz elven healing salves. More than enough to share.

-Change of clothes: leaf bra/leaf thong.

-Backpack to carry this all in.

-Surprise treat for camping the first night or so: S'mores ingredients!

-A Shakuhachi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakuhachi) for storytelling or singalong stuff. Cool hat not included.

Also, if you're a student of hers and you're not going, she's left some exercise regiments for you to do while she's out. Also, do an essay on something combat related, I dunno. Whatever. Yeah, that's right, you get homework.

Just like Alleyne, I am ridiculously overpepared for this. Also found while researching: How to cook with lava (http://www.dolphinbayhilo.com/cook.html).

Can you guys tell I'm excite or something

I'm on AIM invisible all day errryday so ring me up, I'll get your message eventually. If you want to plot on plurk instead, I'm Gallantry (http://www.plurk.com/Gallantry) so let's do this yo~

[forgedinbattle.livejournal.com]

You are so amazing.

Alleyne, can Xena be your scantily clad, line-facing warrior friend? She likes you already, based on this list.
