a picture of a koala reaching out for a bottle of water offered by firefighters after a bush fire was shown around the country turns out that bottle of water killed it because its digestion couldnt digest it

((Wrong thread, much?))

"Well, you're all busy so..

"Axel, could you find more of those thread-like things? I'll be searching for branches or wood to make a shelter."

Search for haul-able wood.

[anailater]

Actualy he was refuring to something on the last page about our new metabolism not needing water.

Ansontan, once again, falls prey to timezones. I suggest you post a temporary action along with your initial dialogue. I'll give you one free action for the next turn, if you so choose to use it(basically, you get to do 30 minutes worth of actions).

I have also decided to forgo the camera view for the most part, and go with traditional turn representation.

Spoiler: Turn 2: Camp is Made (click to show/hide)

Go look for some dead vines, but be careful not to touch any of them, alive or dead, or get near any of the moving ones.

[4]. You search around for a while, looking for dead vines. It take you 10 minutes to find a dead looking one, and even then you're not too sure about it. It does give you a good chance to get a better look at it.

The vines are black, blending in with the forest floor. They seem to originate from scattered, dense clusters of foliage. The clusters of foliage are large, about 12 feet tall and 20 feet wide, with as many as 20 vines emerging from their depths. The vines are also large, with a diameter of about 2 inches.

You can't tell if the vines are animal or plant in nature. They're motile...suggesting animals, but at the same time originate from a (supposed) sessile source. You'd have to open one up to be sure.

While looking at the vine, you notice the surprising lack of ground life. The forest floor is lifeless...except for fungus and the vines.

Then he searches the area for sticks or wood, dividing it into a bundle of firewood, wood good for building with, and reserving the sharpest or heaviest stick for use as a one-handed spear or club.

Search for haul-able wood.

[6][2] The search is on. With a lack of caution, Pauly find many useful wood-like items, completely ignoring the vines moving about him. Unfortunately, with only one hand, he can't carry much of it, if any. He gets a hefty stick, though. Breaking off the branches, it will make an ok bashing weapon.

The Hefty Stick has no where to be stored, so will have to be carried by hand, tying it up until you can use your second hand. You can, of course, leave it somewhere to be collected later.

The sticks he can carry are brought back to the campsite, and are enough to serve as 1 kindling.

(A fellow competitor will receive +1 to wood finding for 1 turn if you relay the details of your finds)

Ferren, on the other hand, accidentally ended up surrounded by the vines in her carelessness. She had to wait 10 minutes for an opening to appear before she could make her escape.

Look For food In the canopy or on the ground

[3] The ground is rather devoid of life, as far as you can tell. Looking up, you see fruit! Black, spherical fruit hanging from the tree branches. They then, as suddenly as they appeared, come back up, once again hidden among the canopy.

Pauly stashes his stick somewhere safe before returning to the group.
"Hey guys, there's a good amount of wood that-a-way I couldn't carry back here.  'S where I got this kindling.  Watch out for vines."
He then spends a few minutes looking around the immediate area, searching for interesting or potentially useful flora, like giant leaves or carnivorous flowers.  Being careful not to touch anything.

[Tiruin]

"We can't camp out...in the open, can we? I don't like the feel of these things. As if the plants are sentient." Ferren looked at Pauly before heading in the direction he pointed out. "I'll get em, and probably look for anything else."

Get wood from the helping directive hand of Pauly, and also try to look for some stones.

[Zako]

"Huh. Well... At least they don't move anywhere."

Head back out of the forest and go look for more of that Whippersnap stuff.

[ansontan2000]

((Damn time zones.))
"Go. I'll cover you."

Follow Ferren, making sure he is not in danger before gathering wood as well, following Pauly's directions.

[anailater]

John stares at where the fruit had disapeared, obviously something akin to a venus fly trap, he would be forced to impovise.

Find a Stick and a sharp rock and make a primitive stabbing weapon.

[Orb]

Pauly stashes his stick somewhere safe before returning to the group.
He then spends a few minutes looking around the immediate area, searching for interesting or potentially useful flora, like giant leaves or carnivorous flowers.  Being careful not to touch anything.

(Not sure how a carnivorous flower would be useful.  )

[-] You find this...mushroom thing. Yellow spots on a dark, swelled body popping out of the ground. It has a tiny indentation on the top.

Get wood from the helping directive hand of Pauly, and also try to look for some stones.

Follow Ferren, making sure he is not in danger before gathering wood as well, following Pauly's directions.

(Only one of you gets the bonus. So I'll flip a coin)

[4 +1]. Ferren follows Pauly's directions to the letter. She finds loads of wood, and with the help of Pauly, brings it all back.

Unfortunately, this is a forest. Stones are pretty hard to come by, at least with a glancing look.

(+3 wet fire fuel (1 fuel = 10 turns), +2 long, skinny, sturdy sticks (Could be turned into spears with the proper tools, or maybe the base of a tent. Or anything else really, if you're creative) Also, the wood is wet, and will need to be dried somehow if you expect to start any sort of fire)

Head back out of the forest and go look for more of that Whippersnap stuff.

[1] You head out and look for that Whippersnap stuff. You're so focused on looking for the wispy, white cotton floating in the air, you fail to realize you've wandered a bit too far, and are back at the stone circle.

Find a Stick and a sharp rock and make a primitive stabbing weapon.

[1] You look for a stick and a sharp rock. You find a vine. "Perfect! A stick in the shape of a vine!" You close in on it, and before you know it the vine wraps around your leg, dragging you down and off your feet. It starts dragging you toward some foliage, about 50ft away, and you can see other vines closing in.

(You camped close to team 1. So if you so desire, you can scream for help)

(I said interesting or useful.  A man-eating flower would sure be interesting!)
Pauly grabs the longest stick he can find and pokes the mushroom a few times.  If it doesn't do anything, he picks it, otherwise, he reacts as appropriate.  Then he spends the rest of the turn looking for the largest leaves he can find.

[anailater]

John wont scream he will grab the nearest object and force the vines away.

[Tiruin]

"Y'know, I'm not sure about the environment in this forest...Could we move to the Hills? Mosquitos at night and all that.

But if nobody agrees, we need to find flint, or at least some dried material, both for igniting a fire with this stick here and more fuel. Priorities go on the fire and shelter. I'll handle making the fire.

. . .

I just wish this place had bamboo."

Search for dry, root-ish materia,

[ansontan2000]

"I'll take point. Make sure there ain't anything suspicious in the forest."

Climb a tree and overview the surrounding area, making sure the others are safe.

[Zako]

((Woops! My bad, the name change threw me and I was playing D3 with my sis.))

"Darn. Oh well, at least I know where I am."

Head back to the forrest, looking for more Whippersnap on the way.
