CARNELIAN

[dramatispersonae]

[After the requisite amount of time, a blinding flash fills your vision. When it clears again, you find yourself standing (or sitting, for the less balanced among you) on the beach … except you’re a hell of a lot smaller. And the sand dunes are a hell of a lot bigger.

You and your knights are each approximately an inch tall, with exceptions made for the lucky dragons and other large non-humanoids, who are the correct size, proportionally. A large flat stretch of sand is on one side of you, with a fresh mound of easily moldable sand next to that. Not that there’s any shortage of sand on the beach. In addition to that, you will find a box full of tools that you can use to craft your sandcastles, including shovels in all shapes and sizes, buckets, cups, and other basic sand stuff. There is also a box labeled SPECIAL SUPPLIES, which has the following items in it:

+ One flag (in team colors)
+ One collapsible drawbridge (push the button to make it life-size)
+ One collapsible portcullis (same as the drawbridge)
+ One cute plastic dragon (person-height)
+ One packet of “instant moat” (just add water!)

You will find that all the tools work at amazing speeds with very little effort. Constructing an epic multi-story castle is very doable even within this short time frame.]

*blinking the flash out of his eyes*

It's like her last game all over again...cool.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thankyouverymooch]

You've played this before? Nice! Then this shouldn't be hard for you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[antreegonist]

It's been a while since she ran it! It was cabins last time.

Anyway, I could do exploration if you guys want; I've got enough fighting skills back to handle it, I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thankyouverymooch]

Works great for me, Mr. Knight! Alena seems like a creative type anyway, so keeping her here sounds good to me.

...Lynx? Was that a joke, or...

Yes...?

[WHATEV, we're going on an adventure~]

Mithos, it's Mithos. Whatever works for you guys.

[ Goes over to the buckets and cups and whatnot. Clear message: building and not exploring, over here... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[thankyouverymooch]

Mithos, then! I don't really care either way.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fighting_alena]

Are we exploring for a purpose, or is it purely to find dangerous things?

Re: DISCUSSION

[antreegonist]

Dangerous things and we bring back stuff to decorate with, I think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fighting_alena]

All right, leave exploring to me! I will bring back the head of the most dangerous creature I find. We can make it into a head-piece above the castle door or somewhere.

Re: DISCUSSION

[antreegonist]

Well, there's four of us now . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[fighting_alena]

You have any of those magic rocks?

Re: DISCUSSION

[antreegonist]

Yeah, I've got one for healing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fighting_alena]

Great! Come with me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[godfatherly]

[ Quieter than normal. ]

Bring driftwood, vines, and leaves. They will be easy to find and stabilize packed sand.

Re: DISCUSSION

[antreegonist]

Gotcha!

Re: DISCUSSION

[thankyouverymooch]

[ . . . surprised.]

Well, that explains what the machine was for. —Anyway! Any volunteers for exploration? I don't have a weapon with me and I'm still going through training, so I'd only slow things down.
