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!

Coat of Arms

A Heater Shield of Vert with a Cross of Argent. Each of the four fields of Vert have symbols of Sable within them: ....

To the Dexter (left) of the Shield is a Rampant Dragon of Argent and to the Sinister (right) of the Shield is a Rampant Griffin of Vert...

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.”
