camp vargas! ~spring happening~ 1-3 "with brains and brawn"

[mandytl]

Location: Dwarfs’ Mine - Silent Woods

Vargas: We can commence with “Camp Vargas”.

Before you start tackling your challenges though, there’s something I need you to do. Which is...

—setting up your own tents!

Ace: Seriously? That’s the start of our trip? Boring from the get-go…

Well, whatever. We can finish this in a snap with some magic. Time to get right to wor—

Vargas: HOLD YOUR HORSES!!!

Here’s where I’ll be collecting those smartphones and magical pens. You’re to overcome these challenges with brains and brawn alone.

Deuce: You hear that, Jack? Going without our phones is going to be a pain…

Jack: Having our pens confiscated is a whole lot more of a hassle. It’s basically like saying we’re prohibited from using magic.

Deuce: Huh? …Oh yeah, the blot!

Vargas: Precisely!

“Blot”... —a powerful and dangerous toxin that spreads whenever we use magic.

The magic gem in your pen routinely absorbs that for you.

Not having your pen with you means...

A mage will start accumulating the blot directly into both their mind and body whenever they use magic.

Not only does your own unique magic generate quite a lot of blot, but even the slightest amount of other magic will pile up and become a heavy burden.

Ace: Ugh, lame… so we basically can’t use, like, any magic whatsoever.

Sebek: Heh… how typical of Vargas-sensei to have us compete with brawn alone.

Yet another reason why I cannot lose!

Deuce: A strength showdown? I’ve been waiting for this.

Crowley: I’ll be holding onto them for you.

Not to worry. You can have them alllll back once Camp Vargas is over and done with.

Vargas: Now, let’s mosey on over to the campsite and set up those tents. Follow me so you won’t get lost!

Crowley: I’ll be heading back to campus then. We’ll reconvene here again on the last day.

Good luck out there~!

Location: Dwarfs’ Mine - Campsite

Grim: Whoa! This is a pretty large spot!

Vargas: This is where you’ll be sleeping for the next three days.

We brought plenty of tents that fit up to two people, so grab as many as you need and get busy.

Your time limit is 60 minutes. Those who think they’re going to take a while, jot that down.

It’s absolutely vital that you have a secure camping environment in order to defend yourself and to rest your overworked muscles.

Take into account the strong sunshine, the fresh air, or whether you should set up in the shade… or find a flat area that provides a comfortable sleep.

Discuss your plans amongst your clubmates. I’ve already got tools put aside for you, so take them if you need them.

Now… —begin!

> Time to start documenting.

> Guess we should go see how everyone’s doing.

Grim: Right! Let’s take a peek at each of ‘em.

Equestrian Club.

Sebek: I know he said we need to defend ourselves, but are these woods truly that dangerous?

Riddle: Who knows. One can never be too careful.

Let’s assemble our tents together so things are easier to manage, no matter what may happen.

Sebek: Certainly. The problem is, where…?

Silver: I saw a river when we were on our way to the campsite.

Sebek: Then let’s set up where we’ll have easy access to a reliable source of water.

Track and Field.

Track and Field Member: Looks like the Equestrian Club’s headed for the river.

Deuce: Should we follow Dorm Leader Rosehearts and set up camp there too?

Jack: Nah. Better off keeping our distance for when the water level rises.

It’s not like we all have to be in the same area.

I think setting up under the trees is a good idea. The ground is dry, and you can easily block the wind and the rain.

Deuce: That makes sense… Thanks for the advice.

Jack: I-It’s not like I was trying to give any tips! Do whatever you want.

Deuce: Okay. Let’s do what Jack said.

Track and Field Member: Sounds good.

Grim: Everyone started relocatin’ all at once. Awright, let’s see how this plays out!
