Name should be provided, personality can be given but is not necessary (since you are making the choices anyways it doesn't affect gameplay).

Also colon you need a spawn place.

The skill points cost 3 credits per point. You really spent 150 credits on the skills, so you have 45 credits left.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Fixed.

We now have enough players to begin. Since Rory and Guy Joe did not specify locations, they have randomly been assigned to Desert and Caves respectively.

To start:

Kidd is at the base of the volcano. He can see the forest in the distance in one direction, the volcano in the opposite direction, the lake in between them, and the coast opposite of the lake. The land he is on seems to be mostly rock, and the land between the volcano and the other parts of the island surrounding it seems to be relatively featureless from here. He has not looked inside either of his books yet, and he is not wearing his cloak or charmed necklace.

Rory is in a desert; luckily for him, he is fairly close to the edge. He can see what appears to be rocks, though he is unable to tell the distance well and doesn't know if it is the caves or the volcano. Nothing else is in plain sight. He is currently not wearing his mail or cloak.

ecru is currently inside the caves. He can see light in two pathways that might indicate exits. There is a third pathway that is hard to see. He has not looked at his Book of Magic or Book of Science yet, and is currently not wearing his charmed necklace or cloak.

Guy Joe is also inside the caves, in a different part. He seems to be in the middle of a dark passageway; he can smell something coming from one direction, but there is little light. He is not wearing his cloak right now.

Anyone is welcome to join still; this is simply the start. Also, you can give as many instructions as you want in one turn; they will simply take multiple turns to execute if there is not time.

Fradeshan · 2014-10-26 17:08:04

SCAN

Ratburntro44 · 2014-10-26 17:11:42

ecru notices that the light from one direction is slightly stronger. He sees what appears to be some sort of plant growing in the other passage with light. He hears a bit of noise coming from the dark passage, and notices what seems to be a small shadow moving.

Coolio · 2014-10-26 17:13:14

EQUIP cloak and EQUIP necklace. GO up the volcano and USE book of science to check if volcano is about to blow. SCAN view from top.

Ratburntro44 · 2014-10-26 17:16:28

Kidd is now wearing the cloak and necklace. He has started to go up the volcano, but is only about a third up so far. He checks his book of science, and it tells him how to inspect the volcano to determine if an eruption is likely. He is unable to do so yet since he is not at the top of the volcano yet.

skullz17 · 2014-10-26 17:21:53

EQUIP Rope. USE Rope to tie it to a rock. GO to where the smell is coming from, while still carrying the rope.

Ratburntro44 · 2014-10-26 17:24:20

Guy Joe has equipped rope and successfully tied it to a rock. He goes in the direction of the smell. The smell seems to be getting stronger, and the cave seems to be slightly darker.

Fradeshan · 2014-10-26 17:28:05

>EQUIP staff, necklace, cloak
>GO to light passage with plant

Coolio · 2014-10-26 17:28:27

GO further up volcano. While you're at it, SCAN contents of toolbox.

skullz17 · 2014-10-26 17:31:56

SCAN what's inside the toolbox.

Ratburntro44 · 2014-10-26 17:38:01

ecru has equipped his staff, necklace, and cloak. He goes up the passage and is now in sight of an exit, but only made it halfway due to his complete athletic ineptness. He is now, however, at the location of the plant specimens. With his intelligence, he quickly recognizes it as a Cave Liverwort.

Kidd is unable to move further for now (In effect until colon moves or a certain amount of time has passed). He does scan the toolkit, noticing a hammer, a screwdriver, pliers, a wrench, a handsaw, a tape measure, sandpaper, rubber gloves, a utility knife, some screws , nails, bolts, and nuts, electrical tape, and a few tools that he doesn't recognize.

Guy Joe scans his toolbox and gets the same result.

Fradeshan · 2014-10-26 17:40:34

>TAKE(?) liverwort
>continue to exit

Ratburntro44 · 2014-10-26 17:42:51

ecru now has a cave liverwort in his inventory. He will continue to exit either after colon posts or after the end of the hour.
