[Avis-Mergulus]

Kent grins at the sky, his gold tooth glinting in the light. He unscrews the cap of his flask, and carefully pours himself a thimble of transparent liquid.
Wait by the entrance, listen to Edgar and Artemis.

[Losara]

(Who's in?)

Everyone.

(assuming that I am in and have the updated items above things.)

Yes you have your updated items, next post will include a status.

[Aseaheru]

"Edgar Evans, yourself?"

[DarkArtemisFowl]

Artemis bows slightly, introducing himself.
"I am Artemis Dimikaelo the Fourth, Twilight Prince of the Fourth Dimension and Heir to the throne of the Amethyst Kingdom. Er, was that, at least. Now I am just known as Artemis Dimikaelo."
Looks as if I shall be accompanying you and the rest of the party into this... cave."

[Aseaheru]

"Pleasure to meet you."

[GreatWyrmGold]

Artemis bows slightly, introducing himself.
"I am Artemis Dimikaelo the Fourth, Twilight Prince of the Fourth Dimension and Heir to the throne of the Amethyst Kingdom. Er, was that, at least. Now I am just known as Artemis Dimikaelo."

"I'm sure you were. Name's Alex, I used to be a healer. Can't exactly go back, so...I'm here. Here's hoping stuff works out."

[Aseaheru]

"Hello Alex. As I said earlier I am Edgar Evans. A pleasure to meet you aswell."

[Losara]

So, in my boredom, I have decided to let you have a say in this:
There are two options for how action posts will take place, they are as follows;

Option 1 is more like the traditional, everyone's actions are handled seperately, and their actions are quoted before their own actions.

Spoiler:  Option 1 (click to show/hide)

{Example Action1}Shoot It! Shoot It NOW!
{Example Post2} You retrieve an arow from your quiver, and draw the bowstring back to your cheek (before anyone says anything, it's got a ring.). [3] The arrow is slightly off-course due to you haste, and it slams into the monstrosities chest. It staggers it slightly, but appears to have done minimal damage.

{Example Action2} Run through the door and stab the thing.
{Example Post2} You ready your blade and charge valiantly through the door to save your fellow. As you approach it, an arrow whizzes past you and burries itself in the creatures chest, this staggers it allowing You to stab for the wretched things eyes, [3 + 1=4], but it whips it's head back, and the sword slices through the front of it's face instead [1 Damage]. You  recover quickly and sink back into a defensive stance, ready for any moves made by the beast.

Option 2 is much more group based. Everyone's actions are handled as a group, there is no seperation between your action and your friend's. This is more similar to an RP like D&D.

Spoiler:  Option 2 (click to show/hide)

Bob nocks an arrow whilst Fred bowls head first through the doorway, sword in hand and bellowing at the top of his lungs. Bob draws the arrow back, takes aim at the creatures head and looses. [3] The arrow leves the bow at a slight angle due to the haste of the shot, narrowly misses Fred, who is now only feet from the beast, and plunges into the things chest, whilst this does little physical damage it does stagger it, giving Fred the perfect opportunity to lunge for it's eyes. [3+1=4] Unluckily, the beast rears it's head at the last moment and the blade slices through the front of it's face [1 damage]. Fred's years of practice stop him being unbalancd by the shift, and he keeps his feet, ready for anything.

[DarkArtemisFowl]

Option 1 please.

[GreatWyrmGold]

((I prefer the former option.))

"Hello Alex. As I said earlier I am Edgar Evans. A pleasure to meet you aswell."

"Naturally, since I imagine I will save your life more than once before we leave this cave." Alex seems to be joking, a bit.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Option 1 is less confusing, I believe.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, option 1

As he boldly strode towards the cace, the Paladin of Beards bellowed "What ho, fellows! Come, let us act, not chat! The powers of Dorfus guides us! Do ho ho!"

[Losara]

Turn One:

Sycamore

"Well, no use just standing here." Sycamore sighed and made his way towards the entrance, the heavy load of his backpack making his gait awkward. "why am I even doing this anyway... with goddamn kids following me..."
Begin approaching the cavern entrance.

You mutter to yourself, something about "God-Damn Kids", then finally sigh and hurry over to the cave entrance, along with the majority of the 'god-damn kids...'

Arlia

Arlia busied himself stringing his bow and going over his gear once more before hopping off the back of the wagon. Everything appeared to be in order - a well-stocked quiver and small pack of provisions slung over his back, a flimsy wooden buckler strapped to his forearm and two mid-sized lengths of rope clipped to his belt. With a naive and optimistic smile, he then approached the cave entrance alongside Sycamore, keen eyes scanning the surrounding landscape for potential boons or dangers.
Approach hole in the ground. Observe surroundings for anything of note.

As you jump down off the wagon, you survey the immediate area for anything worthy of attention. The wagon has stopped in a large, hilly area, visibly free of civilisation, there is a forest in the distance to the south, but that is all, other than the cave, that isn't obstructed by the hills. Noting this, you String your bow, and walk over towards the entrance to the "cave".

Bethany

Bethany had amused herself on the trip by pick pocketing her teammates and then replacing what she stole without them noticing. Now it was time for business, however...

Action: To the hole!

You smile as you check to make sure everyone's belongings have been returned, before joining the group of people walking to the entrance.

Raglkof AKA 'Beard'

Stride boldly towards the cave entrance, stop before the entrance, look for traps, and if none are seen, stride boldly in

You jump Boldly down from the wagon, yell at some lazy little sods, walk Boldly over to the entrance, stop, Boldly of course, then look around the hole for any traps. There are no traps in view, and up close you can see that this 'entrance' is a narrow tunnel that goes nearly straight down, getting down will be difficult, and getting back up looks nigh on impossible. You ponder on this as you plan what to do next...

Artemis

Pathetic crew he had, Artemis thought to himself. He could this on all by himself.
Enter the cave.

You look around at your fellows and snicker. Pathetic, fools thinking they can become rich overnight, I can do this myself. As such you completely ignore everyone and stride right over to the cave. You then continue to walk, straight down the sudden drop. [5] You manage to gain control of your fall and roll out as you come into contact with the cave floor. You spring to your feet and straighten out your clothes in agitation. You then look around, you are standing in a tunnel, It is narrow, but will easily admit you and your fellows if you travel one at a time. There is just enough light to let you see down the tunnel, until it bends to the right, about 30m away.

Edgar

(assuming that I am in and have the updated items above things.)
Edgar wanders over to the utterance, checking his weapons and attempting to chat with someone. Anyone will do really.

Artemis notices one of the party meandering around.
"Oh, hello. And you must be...?"

"Edgar Evans, yourself?"

Artemis bows slightly, introducing himself.
"I am Artemis Dimikaelo the Fourth, Twilight Prince of the Fourth Dimension and Heir to the throne of the Amethyst Kingdom. Er, was that, at least. Now I am just known as Artemis Dimikaelo."

"I'm sure you were. Name's Alex, I used to be a healer. Can't exactly go back, so...I'm here. Here's hoping stuff works out."

You look around and see one of your fellows just standing around, staring off into space. You walk up and introduce yourself. They say there name is Alex and the two of you strike up a merry conversation. That is at least, until you hear a big bearded fellow telling you to 'act, not chat' or something along those lines...
Alex
As you try to consider the best course of action, you see a man approaching, hand outstretched. He introduces himself as "Edgar Evans" and the two of you have a nice old chat, until you get told off by a beard, umm, man, bearded man. (forgive the attempt at humor, I am tired...)

Kent

Kent grins at the sky, his gold tooth glinting in the light. He unscrews the cap of his flask, and carefully pours himself a thimble of transparent liquid.
Wait by the entrance, listen to Edgar and Artemis.

You decide to walk closer to the entrance but to stay within earshot of the ensuing conversation between Edgar and Alex. To appear uninterested, you take a drink from your flask, and smile disarmingly.

[Gamerlord]

(Oh shit, I forgot to post an action!)

Stand around and look menacing in massive plate armour, an executioner's hood and holding a giant axe.
"Let's rumble."
Follow everyone else. Glare through the hood at them.

[BeruangSarkis]

Sycamore's frown creased deeper on his face as he saw Artemis stride poudly past him into the cave... then drop straight down.

"Oh for the love of..." Sycamore ran over to the drop, just in time to see the boy dusting himself off, the dignified face he previously wore now replaced by a stern look of annoyance. Sycamore snorted.

"Hey kid!" He shouted "If you haven't noticed, you aren't walking in daddy's backyard anymore; so watch your step, eh?"

Sycamore paused to examine the steep decline. Getting down there would be an effort with all this gear he's carrying.
He stratched the stubble on his chin, contemplating what he should do.... ah. Maybe that'll work.

Toss his backpack and shield down first, then descend carefully.
