Linears
Linear Adventures take place outside on Saturday afternoons. They represent the actions of a group of adventurers (the character party) who have gathered to go on a quest together. There are usually 4-6 characters in the character party, who will have been recruited in-character at the interactive on the night before.
Usually linears take the form of a series of encounters, in which the characters progress across Grantchester meadows (representing anywhere from the fens just outside the city to a distant demon plane), meeting different groups of monsters as they go. Some will want to talk, others will need to be fought to go past, and in other situations it is left up to the character party to decide what approach to take. Frequently the final objective of the mission involves a big fight containing most of the people on the linear.
Surviving characters gain 10xp for the linear, monster crew gain 3xp each. Linears are free of charge to all participants. Please wear good shoes when you linear, as the ground can be slippery! It is also a good idea to bring a warm underlayer/suncream and some water, depending on weather conditions.
