A Garish Flier... [Event!]

Are you an intrepid explorer with years of experience in all types of wilderness and terrain? Do you love adventure, danger, and dark places where fungus might grow? Are you the type who thinks injury lawsuits are for sissies?

If so, then we want you! The call to adventure awaits! Sign up today!


We’re bringing you a special roleplaying event! The Caving Expedition is themed around exploration, and we figured it would be a fun way to close out the summer. We’ll be trying out an event model that requires a little more staff involvement. Rules and sign-ups are here.

Oh yeah, did I mention there’d be prizes?

There are creatures in the caves! Maybe you’ll find a special friend to take home.

I have a quick question about moving to a new area in the event, and figured this would be the place to ask? (If not, I'm so sorry!) Basically, I understand how the post count works for moving, but now how the actual movement works. Do we message that we are moving in a particular direction? For example: "Moving to the area to the left" or "Moving to the area ahead" or something like that? Or do we just say that we are moving to the next area, and whichever part of the map is revealed is the new area we find ourselves in?

I hope this made sense >.<

The areas are all marked by letters once you've mapped an adjacent spot, so you'd generally say "Moving from A to B" or something like that.

But for the beginning, when all you have is the entrance and can't see any letter zones, just specify that you're entering the cave. Sorry for the confusion about that! I've edited a little note onto the rules for that.

Your next map update should have you in area A, with the adjacent area letters also visible, like in this example image (just sans arrow).

Heh, I have another question and figured I'd go ahead and ask it here in case I'm not the only one who wasn't sure what to do once their map is completed :P

So I see that we don't need to roleplay our return to the entrance, but are we supposed to roleplay our adventurers turning in their completed map to Professor King? Also, I'm assuming there's nothing wrong with adding a few ending posts to my thread even though the map is completed? Unless it would cause confusion as to why there are extra posts...?

Nope, there's no need to report back to the good Professor. I mean, if you'd like to for roleplay reasons, I'm happy to RP the professor with you outside the event, but as far as the actual event goes, it's not necessary x3

And yeah, feel free to RP in your thread beyond the requirements for the map. It's your thread and all. P:

The Caving Event has wrapped up! Professor King has been ousted from the Lone Saloon at last, though they're still not quite finished airing the place out. Everyone who participated should have received a special little prize.  

Wait... Prizes? Yes, prizes! It looks like the good Professor's team had a little accident in their lab with the moss samples from the cave. Now the place is overrun with these little guys, so he gave them out to anyone who turned in a map, finished or not!

You didn't miss your chance to nab one, did you?

A big thanks to everyone for participating, and we hope you enjoyed the event!
