ADVENTURERS' SOCIETY SURVIVAL RULES

A.L.W.A.Y.S.

AWARENESS Keeps You Alive.

• Keep Your Head On A Swivel
• Paying Attention Buys You Time
• Having Time Buys You Options
• Be Aware of People Waiting near Transitional Spaces
• Make Eye Contact to Let Others Know You See Them

LOOK But DON'T Touch.

• Best to Look from a Distance
• It could be Covered in Poison
• It could Activate a Defense System
• It could Trigger a Trap
• It could Have a Spell upon It

WARY Is Your Mindset.

• Think that People are Up to No Good
• People ARE up to No Good
• Expect Agendas, Dangers, Motives and Traps

ACCEPT It For What It Appears To Be.

• Those Who Live By This Rule, Survive
• Don't Hesitate in Disbelief
• Don't Waste Time Rationalizing
• It IS What It Appears To Be

(If it Looks like a Zombie, Acts like a Zombie, Smells like a Zombie: IT'S A FUCKING ZOMBIE!)

YOU Can Do It.

• YOU Can Make A Difference
• Be Confident in What YOU Can Do, and Do It
• YOU Won't Know What YOU Are Fully Capable of Until YOU Try

SAFETY Third.

• We've Got a Job To Do, First and Foremost.
• There Is Risk in What We Do and We Accept That.
• Safety IS Awareness and PERSONAL Responsibility.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. the Location.

RESEARCH the Destination.

• Environment, Inhabitants, Culture, Society
• Regional News and Events
• Location's History
• Local Myths & Legends
• Routes and Travel Times

EXPLORE Carefully & Thoroughly.

• Don't Rush In
• Move Quietly or Blend In
• Watch Your Back ALWAYS
• Make a Map or Mark your Way

STAY Together.

• Don't Split-up Too Far
• Line of Sight is Best
• Stay In Communication
• Always Know Where Your Team Is

PREPARE Accordingly.

• What might you need to do in order to 'fit in'?
• What Supplies, Equipment and Gear will be needed?
• What Specialty Items might be needed?
• What Spells might be needed?
• Do you have current and accurate maps of the area?

EXPECT the Unexpected.

• Think about anything that could go wrong.
• Think about things that 'can't go wrong'.
• Think of at least one thing you can do if something goes wrong.
• Don't freeze up when it happens.

CHECK For Traps! (and Secret Doors)

• Traps, Ambushes, Setups & Tests
• Mechanical, Magical & Natural
• (Look behind and under everything.)
• (Look for lines, wear patterns and paths.)
• Surveillance Systems, Motion Sensors, Spells & Wards
• Scrying: Do you feel like someone is watching you?
• Spies: Is someone or something watching or following you?

TEAMWORK At All Times.

• Aid your Allies with Skills and Powers
• Buff your Buddies before and during combat
• Counter your Teammates weakness with your Strengths
• Focus your Fire and Efforts for better results
• Heal! You can't fight if you're dead, for fuck's sake!

History

The Fort Garland Adventurers' Society became an Official Society/Guild at the same time the Guardians' Guild of Garland became an Official Guild. However, the Adventurers' Society has existed for nearly a year unofficially, as this is how long Raphael's Companions have been following him in his adventures.

Unfinished Ideas

...

A Heater Shield of Azure with a Chevron of Vert bears two Gauntleted Fists of Argent in the Azure field below the Chevron's peak; one on the Dexter holds a Sword with a Blade of Vert pointing to the Sinister, the other on the Sinister holds a Dagger with a Blade of Vert pointing to the Dexter below the Sword's Blade. The Shield is draped (top and sides) in a Lily Garland, has a Rampant Griffin of Vert to either side, and atop is a Visored Helmet of Argent facing to the Dexter bearing a Plume of Vert as its Crest. A pair of Ribbons across the bottom, one atop the other, read: “Always On-Duty. Always Vigilant. Always in Pairs.” “Always the First Line of Defense.”
