Terre Haute expedition: Camping Day 1

[lord_wizard]

[It's been a more or less uneventful day of travel for the expedition team. Not unexpected for the first leg of such a trip, and with any luck, it will stay that way.

As the sun starts to get low in the sky, Felix signals the group with a sharp whistle to stop, shortly after he feels the change. They've entered the Dead Zone. That sudden loss of power for anyone used to that sort of thing. Not an easy thing to adjust to, at first.]

"We've crossed into the border of the Dead Zone now. We should stop here for the night. Those of you with experience, help set up camp as needed. And I recommend a few of you working out a watch schedule. You never can tell what might be out here."

Yeah, I keep hearing it might be dangerous, but that shouldn't stop us from exploring! If we played it safe, nothing would ever change.

[deductiongeek]

Exactly. If we want anything to change we need more information.

[But Conan fully intended to make sure none of the kids here got in too much trouble. He wasn't a hypocrite at all.]

[findatree]

Exactly! I can't wait to see the buffalo and the flying fish!!

[deductiongeek]

The fish are interesting! [He might be a little smug about this. It had been very satisfying to knock out his rival during the last expedition. Almost as satisfying as discovering the thief's pathological fear of fish.]

I don't think I've seen a buffalo yet, though.

[findatree]

We should play a game: find one new plant or animal every day on the trip.

[deductiongeek]

Based on what I remember from the last trip, it could be possible.

I can't wait! [so excited]
