night 4 will end in not too long; what is happening with the movement?
-
not quite...
-
haha no it's my fault for not being descriptive enough. The staircase goes up and flattens into a large flat space, covered in rocks and some snowfall but guarded from the massive snowbanks on all four sides by carved spires. Some kind of volcanic activity causes the hotspring. At the other end, the staircase continues up (and it's true that the winds themselves are also buffered a bit by the spires too, though the staircase continues up from here unprotected as usual, in fact it gets even hairier). Meanwhile if nobody saw: NIGHT FOUR HAS JUST BEGUN
-
how can Gregor go unless you guys roll him / push him / drag him? He's all tied up haha what makes you think you're in a cave???
-
day 4 is over. Night 4 begins
-
I don't know about this part However he most certainly tackles Gregor and binds him with the rope used to climb out of the ice pit trap. The sun is about to set btw
-
copying this from where I posted it in a PM somewhere: (by the way, I don't know if this was clear, but the original base camp was 0, the first part of the staircase with the fall-thru ice was 1. The plateau was between 1 and 2. The divided staircase was region 2. Now you are at the hot lake, which is an area of rest between regions 2 and 3. The sanctuary was estimated to be region 5 by Scout in the initial surveying of the mountain from below)
-
Mandrake - 3 rations Gregor - 11 rations Nischal, Scout, Mordock, Fabricius - each 5 rations (nobody has consumed their cycle 4 rations yet)
-
moving the lake talk to this thread because there's only so many people allowed in a private convo and Hirk needed to be added because John the Savage went up to the lake too. So here are the people at the lake: Mandrake Kirkpatrick Calcutta (known to be from America but as his voice box is slowly unthawed everyone starts to realize his accent is somewhat more from across the ol pond) Scout Dr Fabricius VA Mordock Klein Gregor Nischal John the Savage the sun is nearly in sunset position. If anyone has any remaining day 4 objectives, do them now
-
it is daytime, but due to your Shirpa nature and whatnot - and also the simplicity of this climb (as opposed to the trapped alternative) - you can make it
-
Gregor jumps up, snarling, grabbing the bag of rations left behind and sprints up the left staircase, while John is moaning and Nischal is observing passively. Now all 31 are up that staircase.
-
As Calcutta, Mordock, Klein, Scout and the Doctor head up the left staircase as the night ends, Gregor lunges maniacally at John the Savage, with obvious intent to kill, but John's own inner savagery breaks in and he lashes out with an arm, blocking Gregor's arm and swiping with the other arm, smacking the knife out of Gregor's hands while uppercutting with a knee. As the two grapple and injure each other, the knife scattering away on the ice, they both eventually collapse in a pile of blood and snow. John gets possession of the knife, backing away, as Gregor snarls and withdraws. As the night ends, the first group disappears up the staircase, leaving John, Gregor and Nischal on the plateau below. [am I forgetting anyone?] How many rations did the group going to the lake take though? Anyway that ends night 3
-
so far I have this as those who'd like to go on: Calcutta Mordock Willem Klein Dr Fabricius? Scout?
-
(meanwhile, while this spectacle is going on and the third night is close to end, can I get some kind of tally of who wanted to keep going and who didn't?)
-
Meanwhile Mandrake and Kirkpatrick have left the party and are hiking up to the lake with the 3 rations Mandrake took. Leaving 12. Meanwhile everyone's finished their rations for the night. So as of up through the end of night 3, everyone's been fed up to now. There are 12 rations left in the camp here and 3 going up with Mandrake & Kirkpatrick
-
While everyone is arguing ferociously, the crowd disperses temporarily, as everyone thinks it over and prepares for what might be a fateful trek. Suddenly a scream is heard. By the time everyone rushes over, it is discovered that Vick Brontson is gone. Within the next 10 minutes everyone cycles through, trying to figure out what went wrong. Some crumbs are evident in Vick's stuff, implicating that maybe he had taken at least some of the rations.
-
For cycles 9-12, a rescue team will go to the bottom of region zero and see if there are any survivors/explorers there. If not and time runs out, they'll turn back
-
not at all what I said, hahaha
-
The night will end soon; so you guys should probably figure out what you're doing and whether you want to go up to the next region
-
I haven't looked in detail at Scout's food plan yet but in case he wasn't incorporating this:
-
Scout leaves, heading up the left staircase as the night winds howl. About halfway through the night, as a distant moon shines with its lunar pallor on the snow, Scout returns with promising news...
-
(after tonight ends there will be 15 rations left)
-
-
the night will end tomorrow at noon or so (so in about 12 hours). Maybe sooner though, like around 10am, if I don't see much happening for the night past that.
-
The semi-miraculous (aka I wasn't expecting it haha) recombination of groups 1 and 2 means we have to go back to the thread because you can only have so many people in a private convo... so yeah, here we are, night 3, the groups recombined at the camp. Still needing a replacement for DarthNoob
