"How do I know you are telling the truth about the winner being sent home? Prove it. What's stopping you from dropping the winner into a pit of death as soon as they are the only one left?"

Nothing, really. Sending the winner home makes good T.V. We make it all dramatic and touching

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When I originally made this, I was going to kill off the winner. But now, I have ideas for a sequel, and I plan to incorporate some benefits for winning if you play again....tune in next to find out! 

Pauly runs like the wind, too panicked to really watch where he's going, singing "Brave Sir Robin" all the way.  He swings randomly behind him with a right-handed grip on his stick (...) .

Do you really want me to roll a die to decide which direction you go?

(How about we all just look the other way and pretend  Pauly ends up meeting back up with the others by a freak coincidence?)

Sure. If you get a 6.

"That's not very convincing. How am I supposed to provide entertainment if I don't have proper motivation for winning instead of surviving? That's poor thinking on your part.

Ferren, hand me the end of the stick and I'll help pull you out."


Keep to the edge of the sand, keeping a good pace back from the edge, and help Ferren get out of the sand safely by pulling on the stick while she's holding onto it. Keep listening and watching for wildlife.

[3] You run back into the foliage you came from, where the 'rock' landed.

[5] You know it's coming, though. You deftly dodge the flying 'rock', with it landing with a soft splash into the puddle it came from. Not paying attention to where you're going, you quickly get lost in the jungle.

Then bring that stick along, and get Axel's string because intuition told me I made it out 
And then examine the current vicinity.

Outsmarting the quicksand, you quickly escape and finish the deal.

[4] It's a jungle, alright. There's a path to the 'east', where you heard Pauly scream. Otherwise you don't find anything particularly exciting.

Look, bub. You're about as worthless as paper to us. If you don't compete, we'll give you a painful, horrific death and someone else will go home.

Ferren refuses your help and outsmarts the quicksand. She hands you the stick.

Nothing seem alive in this jungle. You figure Pauly might have found something, though.

(+1 Long Stick. You can only strike with 1 hand with the axe unless you find a suitable way to store the stick)

Once Axel 'gives' Ferren the string, Ferren can use it for the next turn. It wasn't included in his action, though, so I left it out

Make that sling, distance self from others in the search for more rocks, in Pauly's direction.

"I'll try to find Pauly.

"Now, the string, Axel?"

[Remalle]

"Uh oh, lost in the woods again.  Marco!"
Utilizing this time-honoured search technique named after a legendary explorer, Pauly
attempts to meet back up with the others.

(How do we know the flying rocks are venomous if they haven't bitten anyone yet?)

[Orb]

(How do we know the flying rocks are venomous if they haven't bitten anyone yet?)

It was more of a joke, since that's what your character was worried about earlier. None of that description is true, because you haven't actually seen what it looks like.

[Zako]

"Thank you, here you are then."

With a glare upwards, Axel hands over the string Ferren needs.

"Let's go check on Pauly in a bit. He might be in trouble."

Hand over enough string that Ferren needs. Then use my axe to carve and sharpen the end of the stick into a point to make a spear, or at least a javelin. Then go check on the direction Pauly's scream came from.

[Orb]

I mentioned this in my LP, but forgot to mention it here. I'm at a friend's and won't be able to update today or tomorrow. I might squeeze it in tomorrow, but that remains to be seen.

[Orb]

All right. Where were we.

Make that sling, distance self from others in the search for more rocks, in Pauly's direction.

You make the sling, using the string Axel gave you.

(+4 yards of string, -4 yards of string, +1 sling)



(Stolen from wikipedia)

[4] You head toward where you last heard Pauly, making sure to stay clear of the path. You find 2 pebbles along the path side.

(+2 pebbles)

Utilizing this time-honoured search technique named after a legendary explorer, Pauly
attempts to meet back up with the others.

[3] MAAARCO you scream, blindly walking about the Jungle. Oh dear, it seems you're too far away for them to hear you. You hear a rustle behind you. You turn around and look. Oh, it's just a bush. Or is it?

Hand over enough string that Ferren needs. Then use my axe to carve and sharpen the end of the stick into a point to make a spear, or at least a javelin. Then go check on the direction Pauly's scream came from.

You hand the string over. The string has to be twisted together to make it larger, and overall slings do require a lot of 'rope'. It depletes a significant portion of your string supplies.

You sharpen your stick. It seems a bit too thin for a spear, so you settle to call it a javelin.

[6] You follow the direction you thought you heard Pauly scream. You're about to enter the path when you stop. Pauly probably didn't scream for good reasons. You're close to the pyramid, and you see a bit of blood on the path. Glancing at the puddles in the path, most of them have been disturbed by something. Each puddle has what appears to be a rock or two in it. The puddle near the pyramid is empty, however.

[Tiruin]

Head in the direction Axel went.

"Torque, you're my best friend."

[Remalle]

"Uh oh.  Better move in circles until the situation resolves itself."
So saying, Pauly heads back in the direction he best judges to be where he came from, avoiding the rustling bush, but continuing to yell.
"MAAAAARCOOOOO"

[Zako]

"Hmmm... Interesting. Something must have ambushed him, but what? It has to be lurking around here somewhere... Maybe there's another enterance?"

Keep my distance from the blood and puddles and circle around the pyramid, looking for another enterance.

[Orb]

Spoiler: Turn 17: Poor Pauly.... (click to show/hide)

Head in the direction Axel went.

You quickly catch up to Axel. He circles the pyramid, for what you assume is to find a hidden entrance. He fails.

So saying, Pauly heads back in the direction he best judges to be where he came from, avoiding the rustling bush, but continuing to yell.

You start walking 'back', past the rustling bush. You start yelling MAA- when something leaps out of the bush!

[3] It strikes your lower left arm. You can feel it biting deep into your flesh. You're about to knock it off when you hear a 'SNAP' and your lower arm..falls off. You stare in horror as the, what you understand now is some kind of lungfish, eats your lower arm.

(4 turns of heavy pain, -1 to most rolls. 8 turns of heavy bleeding, in which case, unless treated, you'll die, -1 left hand)

Keep my distance from the blood and puddles and circle around the pyramid, looking for another enterance.

[5] You circle the pyramid, but no other entrance makes itself apparent. You feel however that the trap has already sprung for Pauly, and the entrance is safe, for now.

"Come on. Let's check inside! We might find food or something!"

Make a torch or two out of the surrounding plants, and cut off a long straightish branch and then head inside the pyramid cautiously, looking around for pressure pads, tripwires or holes in the walls, floor or ceiling.

[Remalle]

"Carp!  My arm!"
Pauly, despite not being left-handed, runs as fast as he can away, doing his best to suppress the pain and bleeding.
