Excursion #002 Details

— EXCURSION #002 DETAILS —


Not too much to get into! Log is here.

• Traveling. Both airships and eventually the teleporter will be available for use to travel back and forth. It takes about a day via airship, so getting the teleporter up and running will be considered top priority. Airship travel will be the only means until the weekend, at which point, unless intended otherwise by players, teleporter will be up and running for the rest of the time (or unless someone breaks it in the interim).
  
  
• Teleporter. Parts of the teleporter can actually be seen when approaching the landing site, with the large crystals just barely visible beneath the thick canopy. However, the airships have to land a bit a ways from it, so some hiking will be required to get there. Assuming we have good tech on board, including those of the original teleporter crew, it should take a day or two max as it is in decent condition. Unless folks want to plot out its demise, the default assumption is that it's going to be working by the end of the week, so make your intentions known now! It's also mentioned in the notes for the task, but as easy reference, once the teleporter is activated, it will only work to go to Shaarnath.
  
  
• Staying. Camping out is allowed. There will be supplies at the ready and made easier once the teleporter is up. Just remember that the night can be more dangerous than during the day, and everything described will increase in activity and hostility.
  
  
• Spice it up. While we have given basic descriptions, players are more than welcome to embellish and even add to the setting so long as it fits the jungle theme.

After the 27th, the funds run out and teleporter access restricted.

Just like last time, teams aren't mandatory but groups are welcome to form up. Those participating in the excursion should sign up here. This is more to serve as a kind of "survey" to see who all is participating in these excursions.

If you have any questions, please comment to this post!

Will it be possible to find anything else in regards to there being others, such as very basic shelters (example 1, example 2), small other items (idk, shoes? weapons/something forged with wood and the metal from mechanimals), or even... remains??

[simpathis]

No shoes or other personal artifacts, but there are various weapons such as bows, spears, and net guns that look like they were repurposed from something else. As for shelters, they're actually treehouses way high up in the canopy, so they while possible, they can't be immediately seen. Those who venture upward will find the remains of buildings that once looked like this. The structures are rotted out and clearly abandoned so it won't look as vibrant, but enough is left to at least give the idea of what it looked like.

There are also no telltale remains.

Thank you!

Edit: Mentioning in this that the canopies are not easy to find, nor common, for anyone reading this! Just in case your character is a tree jumper, it's possible for them to miss them.
