[Reevinja Mk II]

I woke up today with my internet being as slow as dial-up (damn ISP ;/).

I will be posting the update still, I just won't be getting it out right away at midnight. Assuming that the slowness doesn't turned into my net being down.

But with how slow it is, no way I am getting it up in 20 minutes.

[Shingami Hiroshi]

Are we allowed to post for second turn or are we supposed to wait for Reevinja's up date?  

[Dragon HighLord Flambe]

He said at midnight... so, I would guess we would be allowed..... It is 12:16 after all....  

[Reevinja Mk II]

.. It took me 5 minutes to get the post reply screen up. D:

Okay. Yes, you may take your turn now. And I will allow everyone to modify it later should they choose once they see more of the map. Though I do recommend waiting.

I am trying my best to get this going.. but Photobucket keeps giving me "Page cannot be displayed" everytime I attempt to upload the image, it times out or something.

Ugh. Sorry guys. I really hate my ISP. ;/  

[Reevinja Mk II]

Here is the event log for the rest of the turn.

The map still refuses to upload. ;/

- bamaotaku moves close to the south challenge, but immediately warps right by it - skipping it, and leaving it unrevealed.
- iDragow winds up right in front of the south challenge.
- A challenge has been revealed by Raganui Minamoto!
[02] Easy Challenge (South One): The Beartraps of Poorly Hiddenness (Dex, Int, Con)
As you walk through the south end of the crossroad, you come across a sign which reads: "Warning: Beartraps Ahead." Looking over the area before you, you can see a number of metal beartraps scattered about. A lot are rusted, and they all are poorly hidden. You can either attempt to slip by them (Dexterity), work out some plan to get by them (such as setting them off as you go along) (Intelligence), or simply buck up and rush through them hoping you can take the pain and damage (Constitution). [Please roll prior to making your next turn. Success means you land RIGHT on it. Failure means you are stopped right before it.]
- Oshi The Killer skirts the edge of the north challenge, pressing her back up against the great snowy wall. (Even if you move up NW again, you will still need to beat that challenge to pass. ;p)
- joe-dude667 makes.. an effort to get toward the south challenge, but doesn't go very far.
- Rain Yupa encounters the first challenge, giving a display of strength against the bandits which makes them back down.. yet again! [ A result of 20 (Strength) passes the challenge. ]
- NayrVentess just barely passes joe-dude667 on his way to the south challenge.
- After some interesting maneuvering, Seph Baelzara winds up ahead of everyone after passing the north challenge.
- Authority_Lex is delayed from beginning.
- JinKazemaru is delayed from beginning.
- Rock_DS is delayed from beginning.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

+4 Int.  

[Reevinja Mk II]

Race to the North - Turn 2
After a few encounters, everyone has made some progress. You are now presented with a couple different paths, though it may not be too easy to get to some of them.

[ I managed to get this uploaded.. after cutting out most of the map. The !!s are still challenges, and such.

@Rain Yupa: "For any abilities that must be decided before the move, perhaps the players should post that they are using the ability BEFORE they do the 2d6 post with information? To assure honesty?"

I'm giving everyone the benefit of a doubt here. However, if you see someone end up doing that - please let me know. ]
