Name: Cee! Characters: Sirius Black (doggedly) | Remus Lupin (fullmoon | Kate Bishop (alsohawkeye) Preferred date: Both MJ & I (icly Remus & Sirius, respectively) have pending salvage missions that will be taking place in September. I believe mine is still TBD with tentative intent for the 2nd week of September, and it looks like the one MJ is on is tentatively scheduled for the 3rd week of September but has not been officially requested (that I know of). with all of this in mind, and for the sake of organization and ic knowledge, I would like to request the 1st week of September if possible for this short expedition. Preferred length: as I said above, we have some small salvage mission stuff pending that will narrow our ic time. maybe just a few days at the very most. I'll go into more depth in the INTENTION section below but they won't be going farther than the tether (15 miles).
Area: heading upstream along the river, for a general exploration of the depths of the jungle and to confirm rumors of a limited range of exploration. Intention: (majorly edited this afternoon.) in specific we would like to discover the truth of the tether. after some initial ooc questioning I think it's safe to establish that the presence of the tether is at least the stuff of IC rumor. given the lack of initial resources, the trauma of arrival, and the transit time required for 15 miles in a single direction, without getting turned around, letting it stand as rumor seems reasonable and would allow for future corroboration of symptoms so whatever is experienced isn't a weird isolated incident of extreme nosebleeds. we would like to use our exploration to affirm the presence of the tether.
ICly there would be several objectives. heading up the river seems the best chance of finding signs of civilization, of finding the source of the acid/an untainted water source, or at least of heading as far out as possible with less chance of getting lost. obviously we don't expect to accomplish all of these goals, and we understand the first two are extreme longshots, but it makes sense IC to give it a try.
but at the very least the mission will allow PCs to test the rumor of a perimeter that can't be crossed and get some additional measurements and info about that so they can deliver it back to the group - but we've added in the other pieces as well, so if there are any cooler bones that could be thrown our way here, that'd be awesome.
Skills: both Remus and Sirius come equipped with magic. defensive spells and orienteering spells would be of specific use here, as well as general charms (levitation charms to clear obstructed paths, etc etc). it’s worth it to note that Remus is wandless but is still useful. Kate is a sharpshooter and comes armed with a bow. none of them are whiners and all of them like to explore; good positive attitudes are totally a skill. Sirius also has the Animagus transformation at his disposal, so they also have a bonus tracker dog. Supplies: enough food to last them at least 3 days. a salvaged cup for the Aguamenti spell aka drinking water (only a little at a time though). bedding stuff with the intent to camp out under the weird new stars.
