Beyond the city and other nearby areas, you mean?

[thosethatrun]

Outside the immediate vicinity of the castle and town, yeah.

[lilblackdevil]

I know of at least two expeditions the year before. The earlier one, which I joined, had a fairly large number of people.

[thosethatrun]

Which way did you go? How far out did you get?

[somebody sounds a little too excited]

Ooo! Ooo! Just tell me a few days ahead of time. I wanna see if my Mongoose can make the trip.

[ Awww, York. That's just the reaction he needed. ]

I will. And if that thing's as brilliant as you've made it sound, I'm sure it can. And if it can't we could always try to modify it so it can.

Should be able to, unless you want to go directly over the highest part of the mountains. Then we might have to cheat.

Cheating doesn't sound right. I'd rather call it 'creative problem solving.'

I've gone as far out as I can get without crossing into the dead zone, which is a fair distance. Once or twice a week. There isn't much out there. I assume you know about the Tower, and the headstones?

[thosethatrun]

Dead zone?

I don't know much, actually, which is why I asked.

[clarklike]

Past a certain point, powers stop working. I wouldn't advise going past that point with the TARDIS, as you may end up having to lug it back over the line... if you can get there in the first place.

[thosethatrun]

... I'll make a note of that.

[ Because he's fairly certain he couldn't drag the TARDIS around. At all. ]

There were quite a few of us who went on a journey of exploration last spring; of course I'd be quite interested in going again.

[thosethatrun]

Brilliant! How far out did you lot get? What was out there?

[ruin_mania]

Oh, a few weeks' travel on foot - we found several sites of interest. One moment.

[She finds a copy of the detailed map of the summer journey and tapes it to the journal.]

[thosethatrun]

[ He's just going to take a moment to study that. ]

'Sites of interest?' What made them interesting? Other than the fact that they were unexplored as far as we know.

[firsttsurugi]

There was a group that travelled outward some time ago. I went with them before I came back to the castle early.

[thosethatrun]

Was there a specific reason you came back early?

[ Forgive the lack of tact. He's just curious. ]

[firsttsurugi]

... There was trouble. [Kefka, rather]

[thosethatrun]

In the castle or in the explored land?
