[OPENING] exploration log

[spellbindmods]

Who: Explorers and Co.
Where: Around the island and at the newly discovered house
When: Day 10
Open/Closed: Open to All
Note: Feel free to create your own logs for individual island explorations. A prompt is for house exploring, and you can list off multiple A prompts like A1, A2, etc. for more than one prompt within the house. B prompts (B1, B2, etc) are for exploring the island and may be open to all OR select friends who your character is exploring with.

[It's tough to live on an island that doesn't have many resources outside of the limited food sources and running streams. While Brie is aware of some other minor sources of food, like fish and frogs, one person exploring an island on their own means there are a lot of secret spots left to uncover. Despite adventuring for three years, her time on the hub itself has been much shorter, only staying for days or weeks at a time. Now that there are more people on this journey, covering ground is a lot easier.

Recently she's discovered another large estate -- much larger than her current shared mansion, which might also mean it has some supplies inside. On the morning of Day #, she's called together those who are hankering for more supplies in order to bring as much back as possible. Congrats, you get first dibs.

A. Upon approaching the house, the first thing that's noticeable is its size. It's all one story, but very flat and spacious. There are gardens in both the front and the rear, and upon entering (Brie might have enlisted you to help break the door down, oops) the inside is also quite vast. There are tons of rooms, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, two kitchens and other rooms that aren't even explorable because they need keys to be entered. Unless you can find these keys, that is?

B. Alternatively, or maybe even aside from exploring the house, Brie's also suggested that you do some exploring on your own. Again, she's one woman with limited time to scout the island herself. What can you find? What resources are there to be harvested? Will you share in this bounty, or keep it to yourself?]

a.

[given the sheer size of the house, it's easy to get lost, distracted, or both. especially for those who give up on raiding the kitchen for supplies and decide to try electric bedroom boogaloo and go through every bed and bath in the house. that's a lot of beds to see. there's at least one particular bedroom that has been examined from top to bottom, and anyone taking a peek inside will see the lower half of a body sticking out from under the bed.]

b. (closed to mikleo and edna)

[tramping around a forest is pretty much just like old times, minus the needing to purify hellions every step of the way. it's almost peaceful, in that sense, and the trio has ample time to explore to their hearts content. whether "exploring" means "actually wandering around the forest looking for cool things" or "sitting up in a tree looking for a magic bridge off of the space island," there's plenty for everyone to do.

eventually, though, they manage to stumble upon an odd metal structure. get ready for hours of intense debate about what it is and who could have possibly built it.]

What could it have been made to protect? Someone went to a lot of trouble to make such a carefully circular enclosure, so there much be some practical or religious significance, but without any trace of the original contents it's impossible to say which --

[poor Edna indeed]

I would lean more towards practical use rather than religious significance--it's just speculation at this point, but I haven't seen any other religious artifacts around the area. This far out, it could have been some kind of shelter from unexpected weather, or a temporary site for hunting.
