EXPEDITION NOV. 2010 | MINEAS WELL | SCHEDULE
I know this is going up late, darlings, but it's only the schedule. As mentioned previously, if you'd like to jump in, there is still time to retcon your character in. It is open to all character types, but given the scenario (seeking information on the mass kidnappings) this is a business expedition, rather than a pleasure exploration, though it'll play with both.

phase zero
After a week of bizarre kidnappings that left two dozen residents stranded miles and miles into the Dead Zone and the other residents rushing to their aid, there were few leads. Many decided it could not be a resident; no resident could go that far into the Dead Zone so easily or so quickly. Many decided it could not be the castle; there was no motive, no grand finale, no reasoning behind it. Yet some cast the blame on a potential third party: the outsiders, the First-Generations, were capable of traveling great distances in the Dead Zone, and their motives were unclear.
The only lead was a long shot. Two residents left in the Dead Zone had been left near a sign pointing to a place called "Mineas Well." Having seen it on a map before, it was not entirely new to the residents, but none had ventured there.
A resident named Kat B-320 decided to launch an expedition immediately, determined to find some answers.
November 11
preparation
phase one
The volunteering residents left the following morning. They used the TARDIS to get to the border, and then set out on foot from there. They made camp that night, continued on at daybreak, and carried until they reached the territory's edge. There they found odd trees, odd creatures, and miles to go to the epicenter of Minas Well.
Unsure of the meaning of the markers, they camped on the edge of the woods that night. To their surprise, between midnight and dawn the odd creatures turned into odd tubular creatures capable of changing their shape to create outlines of different animals. The creatures were harmless, but some found them unnerving.
Come dawn, they backed up and headed into the woods.

phase two
Eventually, the residents game across a wooden gate in the middle of the forest. A sign implored them to ring the bell to call a messenger, and after much debate and a bit of argument, the bell was rung. To their surprise, the messenger was none other than Goldfleck, a talking tabby cat who walked on two legs. Goldfleck revealed that beyond the gate was a giant treehouse, hidden by illusions.
Goldfleck could answer few questions, but he did reveal that he could take them inside, to meet his Mistress. Mistress, he claimed, provided shelter, and hot baths... on the condition that they left their weapons outside. A number of residents refused, not wanting to be caught off guard and unarmed, but the majority went.
Shown to the baths, rooms, the swings and a lovely meal, the residents rested for the night and retrieved their companions waiting at the gate. Then, after breakfast that morning, they were introduced to Goldfleck's Mistress, an elderly woman named Flora.
Flora answered many questions about the nature of the tree. Apparently, the tree is magical, localized as Paradisa is. However, unlike Paradisa, the tree only gives power to those who bind themselves to it for life.
However, Flora wasn't where the story ended. The next morning, a former resident of the castle -- from the residents' own generation -- arrived, not expecting castle residents to be there. The interloper, Zexion, offered a bit of insight into the nature of the first generations. Hopefully, he mentioned, this would give them a bit of an advantage over the first generations. Knowledge is power.
And then things went to hell.
