Test Of Courage (RPG)

rock still hiding up the tree notices everyone starting to move so readying his knife he gets ready to move

You guys need to communicate with each other if you want to progress in this game!

/OOC trying my best to patch up not the guys who are about to fall apart, but the group as well, but atm all are went off somewhere, and I guess it's Lin and Olgy being headed to the cave, maybe Kei's with us, rest might be anywhere xD

As Kei got back from the cliff, he stopped everyone in their tracks. " Everyone hold up, we need to talk," Kei would say out loud before everyone gathering in to listen. " I would say I'm the least person to say this but we must work together in order to get through this. I'm not implying me as the leader of the group but it seems no one is taking action." Kei would command everyone to listen because he hates to repeat himself. " Listen because I won't repeat myself and if someone leaves on their own, then simply they are on their own at this point on. Now we have fnicks and swarms of Mosquitos, we can't simply out run them that would be suicide especially if it's the whole group," Kei would just speak while closing his eyes in confidence. " In order to stay undetected we must move from tree to tree, bush to bush.., if you head to an open area you will automatically be detected so we will stay off open areas that don't have trees. Now we must move in a quiet fast pace, we can't have anyone fall behind, if for some reason you need to rest let the whole group now because you may stay behind and your own." The whole would just listen While Kei spoke. "Now that I have spoken lets move!!!!"  



OCC: Read Before Continuing

OOC: looks like noone cares about me going to edge of map, including GM... nor even read last page...
ill follow the rest then... Also this is like we ignored Guilty's last post too... w/e....

After deciding not go further as he approached edge, Keiichirou returned to group to find Kei explaining his plan to others and others immersed to listening him... "It was good not to continue since if something happened i was all alone..." he tought...He looked around, but Rock still were not around... And joined rest while smiling wryly...


Was it his imagination or the cross on his neck was shining in a more deep red...

I'm really sorry guys... I've been dealing with a lot of shit lately but that's really no excuse not to keep up with the game as GM.

Somethings I have been noticing: A few of you guys have taken on a sort of "leadership" position in the group. It doesn't work. There will be quite a few of you wanting to lead the group and when that happens, everything just falls apart because everyone has a different idea of what they need/want to do. You need to listen to each other; read what the people before you are posting. Communicate! It's okay for the game to move slowly so even taking an entire day to discuss to plan out your course of action is totally fine. You don't have to constantly be on the move. Also, keep in mind that you're not robots. You do get tired and you do get hungry. Also, another note, when you travel long distances (for example, as you are doing now from the beach to the cave) don't just say that you arrive at so and so place. How did you reach that place? Did you maybe come across some enemies?

I'm going to rewind the story a bit and go back to something Keiichirou stumbled upon. I'll let you continue your journey to the cave once that's done.

Story so far: Tentatively, Keiichirou reached the northeast edge of the beach. As he crossed the threshold, he blinked, confused. Below his feet was rock rather than sand. Looking around, he realized that he was at the rocky cliffs. He was just at the northeast corner... so how did he get to the northwest corner? He stepped backwards and found himself on the beach again. How bizarre. As Keiichirou was doing this, the rest of the group gaped in shock when their classmate disappeared and then reappeared in front of their eyes. What was going on?

OOC: Don't worry about it, since there was many posts between it and yours, you might not notice it...

Keichirou returned to east side of beach and turned to his friends, who looking like strucken by lightning, and said: "Looks like we have found oursevles a shortcut, but also learned we're traped in here and unless we find and deal with its source we cant get out... So where are we going now? I saw what i wanted to see..."

Story so far: The class discovers that the area loops and devises a plan to reach the cave in a shorter time period.

IMPORTANT: Stop if you explore the cave, if you go back to the lake, if you go by the river, or if you reach the island in the middle of the lake.

OOC: My last post ended at hearing Growling noises. Muuu meanies.

Lin watches as the group, now alot more excited, start to pack up whatever they can still use
before heading out. Seeing Olgonhdonhdirubiru Playing with the portal thingy she decided to join in on the pointless fun. Holding Olgonhdonhdirubiru's hand they both went back and forth (Olgonhdonhdirubiru With a huge smile and Lin showing no emotion but here eyes were showing she was having fun too)Between the Beach and the rocky cliffs. Lin gives Kei her Camera and gives him the gesture to take a picture of her and Olgonhdonhdirubiru Playing around.

OOC: Yup just a cute moment XD imagine Lin and Olgonhdonhdirubiru Holding hands going back and forth like in Cute anime shows. Cute right?! Lin showing her enjoyment through her eyes and not smiling while Olgonhdonhdirubiru is smiling happily... *Nose Bleed* ufufufufu
Didn't want to continue with the story just yet. It's getting too Serious/Stuffy my character has a Camera for the memories and dammit she will have some!

/OOC Lin no hentai! Didn't I say he's changing between swimsuit and cloak when out of sight? And even taking photos!  

OOC : No one mentioned Hentai! And this happening after that! You can't just continue with the swimsuit and cloak the whole time! that's cheating! Let Lin have fun!!!

Even though they can use borders to move faster they had a small problem. After thinking a bit Keiichirou spoke "First we needto move south before crossing border, or we will have to cross the river twice. Ad i dont plan to do a cliffclimbing for second cross. So we should move towards clearing in forest then to east... Alternatively, we can move near the cliffs at beach then head north, we will problably appear somewhere near forest entrance."

/OOC read my suggestion closely, I want to walk over two edges, namely the west and then the north to be in southeast afterwards
the other way round it wouldn't work btw because of we go north, there's the ocean, so we have to go west first
in the end we'll be walking only  a few meters to the cave, no rivercrossing or walking through the forest whatsoever

OOC: @Kiwa if we go north after we getout to west edge, we need jumpp down 120meters, thats what i got from your way...


red-ish lines are my ideas while gray-ish is whati got from kiwa said....

/OOC lol, kk you're right, had the last 5 mm cut off from map when planning my route back then
we're taking yours I guess or we're swimming the 20 meters to map's edge north and walk west then xD

OOC... well... in my case moving to north then hading to cave would be ebtter since wewillspend les time in forest.... but i left choince to others

Story so far: The class discovers that the area loops and devises three ways to reach the cave:

(1) Go to the northern border of the beach/rocky cliffs and then go west towards the cave. This way, they will avoid the forest.
(2) Go south until they reach the latitude in which the cave is at and then go east.
(3) Go around the lake, through the forest, and southwest to the cave.

Here's how we'll vote. Each person will simply post which method they'd prefer (and then some if they want to convince others to vote for a certain path). Stay in character! Oh, and don't forget you guys are gradually getting hungry and tired.

note: Kei, you should really stick with everyone else. I will not guarantee your well being if you go off on your own. You could possibly die. Yes, I said it. You can DIE. But really, going together as a group would be the best idea.

IMPORTANT: Stop if you explore the cave, if you go back to the lake, if you go by the river, or if you reach the island in the middle of the lake.

Looking at the groups situation as they were thinknig wihch way to go Keiichirou understood everyone lacked energy at the beginning. If time was flowing normal sun already shoul've rose over the east  but only moon reached its zenith. They were getting tired, and of course hungry... Going into a new expedition in this state would be really problematic. He had already eaten half of the crackers he brought with him, also had filled his bottle at lake before red moon appeared, and that water seemed safe since, after he drank some he was still ok. He turned to group and said: "I choose going to north through beach and then mving to west, cave. But before that we should take a break, no matter how much we will rush unless we find how to get out we only will tire ourselves. Olgonhdonhdirubiru can you make something to eat? Though someone would need to escort you as you look for ingredients i think... After taking a rest, and having Pan and Lin get a bit better we should move out. Butfirst we need to replenish ourselves...". "This was tiresome.." Keiichirou tought. He was not sure if they agree with him but decided to rest while he can and moved to a dry log lying on beach, and sat down next to it, closing his eyes...

OOC: Indeed we walked, rushed around forest quite long. given map is 6km x 6km we should run out of gas no amtter what...

Story so far: The class discovers that the area loops and devises three ways to reach the cave:

(1) Go to the northern border of the beach/rocky cliffs and then go west towards the cave. This way, they will avoid the forest.
(2) Go south until they reach the latitude in which the cave is at and then go east.
(3) Go around the lake, through the forest, and southwest to the cave.

Here's how we'll vote. Each person will simply post which method they'd prefer (and then some if they want to convince others to vote for a certain path). Stay in character! Oh, and don't forget you guys are gradually getting hungry and tired. So far there are 3 votes for route 1.

After running around the forest, the group, exhausted, decides to take a small break before tackling the cave. Olgonhdonhdirubiru distributes drinkable water to everyone before setting off in order to find food and asks Keiichirou to accompany him and Kei to hold the fort.

Somewhere by the lake, a herd of frightened, normal deer stop to drink water. As they do, they begin to change. The does and fawns begin to grow antlers while the stags' antlers swell to even larger sizes. The herd grows bigger still, almost as big as the Fnik. Writhing in agony from the transformation, the herd separates and runs rampant.

IMPORTANT: Stop if you explore the cave, if you go back to the lake, if you go by the river, or if you reach the island in the middle of the lake.
