There goes my internal organs!

[Zako]

((I'm winning by doing nothing! AMAZING!))

Axel decides that he needs some more wood if he's going to make something useful.

Head back towards the forest and search for wood along the way.

There goes my internal organs!

That's the spirit!

Pauly screams like a little girl.

[3] You scream normally. Unfortunately, your little girl impression will go untested. Ferren arrives to save you from tenticle horror.

[4] You have a close call, but escape the vines for now. You follow Ferren to the forest's edge.

ADRENALINE RUSH BACK THERE!

Get yon stick and smite the vines! GTFO With Pauly and try to glance at the source of the vines!

If feasible, approach the source and attack whatever is there with the stick. If not, GTFO to where Axel last went.

Mourning for Anderson will be next turn.

[5] You adrenaline rush back there, get the stick, and make your best impression of Zeus. The vines wither under your constant bombardment of lightning stick smash.

The source of the vines appear to be several large clumps of foilage. Looks feasible. You run off and get yourself killed (Feasible is a matter of interpretation. As GM I see it as suicide. You on the other hand may find it feasible)

[5] You escape the vines quite easily. Unfortunately, you don't know where Axel is.

Oh hey there he is. He has an axe. Fitting. Axel would have an axe.

Rule #17 - Don't Be A Hero

Unfortunately, you aren't going to find any wood around here. It's just grass for a few miles in every direction.

You make your way back to the forest. On the way you contemplate a name for your axe. Or should you wait until it gets a kill. Hm....

At the forest's edge you spot Ferren and Pauly.

"So... three of us left, huh.  Are you guys getting hungry, cause I kinda am.  Hey, wasn't there supposed to be something useful in this forest?  Why don't we eat while we go look for it?"

[Zako]

"Well, I'm setting a trap for one of those snakes that lurk in holes around here. Maybe they are edible?"

Fashion a snare out of my string and grab a very long piece of grass or something long and flexible for a lure. Hold the lure with my left hand and the snare with my right, and lower the loop of the snare over the hole gently. Then with the lure, waggle the end infront of the end of the hole and when the snake comes out, tighten the noose and trap it out of the hole! Then cut it's head off with my axe.

[Tiruin]

"This is all a joke. A sick horrible joke.

We've lost half of the original number to the environment, we've been placed on a deathtrap with 'unique' challenges. There's a temple, ruins and other topographical markers, and somehow we get in trouble with...vines and snakes."

Ferren handed Pauly the stick. She felt tired after that work, all the adrenaline was still coursing through her, but when it would wear off...

"Our campsite is mostly swarmed by those vines, the only place where they're coming from is there," she indicated the supposed origin of the vines, "And, chances of survival? I don't care about chances. I just want to see everyone present come back alive."

She remembered Anderson's face as he was dragged away. It would keep her up for a long while.

"I'll try to...ugh. I can't think right now. Any ideas? Axel, Pauly?"

[Zako]

"Maybe we should try our luck elsewhere? Perhaps we could find useful stuff in the temple or ruins? They would provide shelter at least."

[Remalle]

"I don't know.  We don't know what we're up against there.  For all we know there could be giant venomous floating rocks elsewhere that'll kill us without a second thought."

[Tiruin]

"Well, what we've faced is usually similar to what is in the environment. Snakes in the hills, carnivorous-styled vines in the forests. _{That stupid voice} said we have caves to our north. We don't have a light source for that. From the center, jungles with a pyramid to the east and west.

"Then mountainous regions to our south. The only plant that seems benevolent to our condition is that Whippersnap. We currently lack even basic tools except for that stick and stone axe. We lack any source of fire supply other than the Sun and glass, or at least two things to rub together, or bamboo.

"And ambush snakes seem very territorial from what I remember the others have said.

"So...plan?"

[Zako]

Axel thinks carefully for a moment, before speaking up again.

"We need to go find useful things as quickly as possible so we can get food. I reckon we can find SOMETHING of use in that pyramid thing, or in the jungle around it. We clearly can't go back to the forrest with all those vines, so we should go somewhere else for the time being. Where do you guys think we should go?"

[Orb]

Just some info. I'm going to modify one of the jungles into a lake biome. The map made sense at the beginning of the game, but it has changed significantly since then. I mostly did two jungles to reduce the work cut out for me, since I figured you would all split into the four biomes at once.

Spoiler: Turn 9.5: Scenery Change (click to show/hide)

Earthquake!

But it's not.

You all look right as the western jungles...sink. The leaves shake and the jungle disappears below the horizon. A few minutes later the ground starts shaking again as a lake, surrounded by a swamp, rises to the west. Huh. Where are you?

Jungles are so overdone. Lake horrors are now what's cool.  Oh. And there's something interesting at the bottom of the lake. Have fun!

[Remalle]

"Um."
Pauly starts towards the lake, but stops.
"Do you think... what am I saying, of course there's a lake monster, and of course there's no breathing gear.  I don't know where we should go.  I'm kinda for staying here, the enemy you know and all."

[Zako]

"And do what? Starve to death? There's nothing we can really do here! We should move somewhere else while we still have food. I say we head to the ruins."

[Tiruin]

"We'd at least need rudimentary weapons. A sharp object tied to long sticks would work as spears.

Well, I'm up for wherever you all want to go."

In the meantime, look for stones. Or knap those pebbles if they are big enough for a spearhead.

[Orb]

Need an action from Pauly. If I don't get it within a day, I'll roll a die between the three actions he suggested.

1. Go back into the forest swarming with vines.
2. Do nothing.
3. Head into the swamp of the lake.

The die may or may not be weighted towards 1.
