let's go exploring
This thread is for dungeons. If you are looking for information about exploring other areas outside of Selphia, see THIS THREAD instead.
Filled with rare items and aggressive monsters, exploring the dungeons that lay outside of Selphia comes with great risk and great reward!
Unlike normal Selphia threads, threads that involve exploring the outside or a dungeon do use time passing as a major part of it. You do not have the give a date or keep strict track of what day it is, just be aware of what season it is, as with normal Selphia threads.

What are dungeons?
Dungeons are run by staff. When you go to make a thread that involve exploring a dungeon, be sure to put the tag (mod) in the title, and drop it into the shoutbox when you first make it so we know to head on over to get things started!
Dungeons are enclosed areas such as ruins, mansions, or caves that are full of monsters. They have at least one boss monster that stays in one set room, and one roaming boss monster that moves about in a set pattern.
If you’re familiar with the Etrian Odyssey games… keep an eye out for those FOEs...
Some dungeons will always have the same layout, and have a reliable map to update and work with as you discover new areas. Other dungeons are warped by the runes that flood the area, constantly shifting the layout each time you enter!
Make sure you keep in touch with other people who have been in area to get the latest information!

dungeons and time
At the start of the thread, pick what time it is ICly and make it clear in your OOC notes! The time of day changes what sort of monsters appear and other events that may happen in the dungeon!
The staff posting to progress your dungeon exploration will update what time it is in the thread. Time passes for a few separate reasons.
Talking, eating, crafting, picking up items off the ground, opening treasure chests, and healing spells are free actions! You may take as many posts as you want to actually ICly travel through a room, or beat up a monster, as long as you do the minimum amount needed to defeat the monster.
traveling through a room or corridor with no monster fights takes half an hour
fishing takes half an hour for each single attempt to catch something
mining a single ore deposit takes half an hour
An hour will pass when:
traveling through a room or corridor with up to two monsters requiring one or two posts
after defeating 3 monsters that require one or two posts
after defeating 2 monsters that require three posts
after defeating 1 monster that requires 5 posts

dungeon INFORMATION
Each dungeon has a thread for all the known information and the current map of it. Here you can add your own findings to the list to help out your fellow Selphians… or keep it secret! Even if a dungeon has a random layout, the information about the monsters, items, and time sensitive events will remain the same.
Once you’re done exploring a dungeon, be sure to go share what you’ve learned over in the information thread for that dungeon! This will also update the map for everyone to see.
