I've modified the map a bit for ease of game play. I originally had the hidden hexes but found that it was unrealistic for you guys not to have a simplish map(yes this is a bit more detailed than "simple" but imagine this was something simple that one of you had or was given that gave a general gist of the area). There is a difference between "crossed" and "explored". A hex can simply be traveled across, this takes time but not as much as exploring. Anything that is obvious(major settlements, major landmarks) can be found by simply crossing the hex. However, there are many locations on the map that are not as obvious. Exploring a hex can(and usually will) reveal anything inside of the hex. Not all Hexes have a landmark(hidden or obvious). I will help you guys out and say that generally speaking, a hex either has no landmark or only one landmark. So if you enter a hex and and I tell you about something in the hex, you do not need to be concerned with exploring the hex, you have found the landmark. There is an experience reward for exploring a hex whether it has a landmark or not, so there is a small reward for finding "nothing" :D Xs represent a hex you have not been to. ?s represent hexes you have crossed but not explored. !s indicate a hex you haven't really been to or explored but you know something is there. Currently, as a reminder, G5 is the bandit fortress, E6 should be where the mites are. For simplicity, I will go ahead and tell you some rough times. Anyone with a knowledge of survival could give you these: At you're current speed(30ft) it takes a few hours to cross plains(most purely grass green hexes), a few more to cross any other hex. Exploring takes a day or two, depending on the terrain you are exploring. I was debating with how best to represent the map to you. Technically, you guys would probably know the general layout of the area. The main thing is that this area hasn't been explored in many a year so no one really knows what or who is out there.
Bran readied his shield in case the creature attacked.Undead, killer machines and now a talking plant. It's like this place is some sort of workshop of horror. Bran doesn't say anything, talking wasn't his strong suit. Instead, he tries to quietly move between it and Ibuki/Burnt One in case it starts to lash out at the group.
Man, these guys talk too much, especially during a fight. These should be savored, relished...Bran silently smiles a bit before moving into a better position and attempting to squash a bug with his large shield.
A largish man comes forward, right after the bald one proclaims his interest. He has a large shield on his back, some daggers arrayed on his belt and some vials poking out from a pouch. The leather armor he wears is a little ragged and you can make out intricate tattoo's on his right arm. "The name's Bran and of course I'll help. Khonnir has to be alive and we will find him." Bran says. Bran paused for a moment to about to say that the money would be unnecessary but then remembered about the bar he broke last week....and the week after that....and that man's healing bills....might be better to accept the money. Khonnir would probably view it as him trying to get his life back together. It would probably be better to accept the money, yeah.
