No problems. Also, I was at a friends yesterday, so I couldn't update.

Spoiler: Turn 4: Conservation or Survival (click to show/hide)

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.

[3] You can't find a stick, so you poke it with your finger. It puffs a little. You leave it there and look for some leaves.

[6] Even though it's a forest, you somehow find a gigantic, mutant fern. It stands about 8 ft tall and shades you. It's the only one of its kind. Do you kill it?

"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.

You're going to have difficulty climbing that without any sort of tools. (I'm lightly basing this on a forest I live near, with some modifications).

[2] You try it anyway! You repeatedly get up only a few feet before falling back down. Your mind goes back to high school, and the gym rope. You could never climb it. Mocked in front of your peers. You relive your worst memories for the last 5 minutes.

Search for dry, root-ish materia,

You try your best again to convince your fellow competitors that maybe setting up camp in a murderous forest isn't the best idea. No one listens again.

[2] You look for some root-ish material. Unfortunately, the only roots available are either large, tough ones above ground, or deep underground, either of which will require a tool of some kind.

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

[4] You find 2 more whippersnappers on the way, increasing your collection to 3 yards of string. When you get to the forest you find Anderson hugging a tree, weeping.

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

[1]. The vine drags you, with you bumping along the forest floor. Your head bounces and comes down hard on a inconveniently placed rock, knocking you unconscious. You never wake up.

Hello once again contestants. Competitor 5 has been eliminated. You're chances of survival have just gone up 5%! Congratulations.

Spoiler: Additional Info (click to show/hide)

Just an FYI. The more you do in your turn, the less rewards you'll get from each action. If, for instance, Axel had only gathered Whippersnappers, I would have gave him 4 instead of just 2 for that roll.

Find any sharp rock or a pile of knappable rocks near our camp vicinity.

[ansontan2000]

"Well shit."
Gather some sticks and rocks to make into an axe.

[Remalle]

"Hmm.  Better to leave this alone... man, last time I attacked a giant mutant fern, the bus driver was not happy."
Pauly reminisces happily on an event that may or may not have actually happened, before giving up on the whole giant leaves thing and returning to the campsite.  He picks up the two long sticks and sticks them in the ground, supporting each other, finds another, shorter but just as sturdy stick to support them, and makes an A-frame.

[Zako]

Axel was shocked, someone was dead already! Did he fall victim to the wildlife, or... was he killed by one of the people he was surviving with?

He had to be careful about these people...

Help Anderson look for stuff.

[Orb]

Spoiler: Turn 5: Beware the Vines (click to show/hide)

Find any sharp rock or a pile of knappable rocks near our camp vicinity.

[1]. You start picking up rocks near the campsite. So attentive in your scavenging, you fail to notice the vine wrapping around your leg and pulling you down. The rocks go everywhere, and you land with a thud. You start getting dragged towards a large area of foliage, about 90ft away.

(Anyone can hear you if you choose to scream)

Gather some sticks and rocks to make into an axe.

Help Anderson look for stuff.

[2] [6] You and Axel look for some sticks and rocks to turn into an axe. Unfortunately, all you do is mope, still recovering from last turn. Axel, on the other hand, finds a rock, already sharpened on one end! It's not perfectly sharp, it can't cut open human skin or clothing easily, but with enough force it could probably cut down some weaker object, like a giant fern or a small tree (Think blunt axe). He also finds a long, sturdy stick to go with it.

(Axel: +1 Long, Sturdy Stick. +1 Blunt Axe Rock)

He picks up the two long sticks and sticks them in the ground, supporting each other, finds another, shorter but just as sturdy stick to support them, and makes an A-frame.

You head back to camp, creating a sturdy triangle with the two sticks there. [5] You find another stick, perfectly sized to fit between the other two, to make an A frame. Disappointingly, the center stick isn't very secure, so you won't be able to do 1-handed pull-ups.

You hear a thud to the right of you, and see Ferren fall down. Oh Ferren, you always suspected she was clumsy.

Ferren screamed. She screamed, then looked at the vine and swore a train of expletives at how obvious the trap they were surviving in and how everyone else didn't listen to her and why that stupid vine wanted to get herandthenlookatthatspiderand ahhhhh.

Vines!

She screamed for help, and tried to anchor herself to stop moving away more.

[Remalle]

Pauly looks up from his work as he hears Ferren screaming.  He ponders for a moment.  Let a competitor die, or let an ally live?
"Ah... screw it."
He grabs his big stick and heads over to help her out.

((Yay! Just don't screw the vine too hard, will ya?  ))

[Zako]

Axel's head jerked to face the direction of the screams. It sounded like someone was in trouble! But, was it from the vines, or was it from another player?

He couldn't be sure, but he decided to take precautions.

Make that Axe with some of my string to hold the rock in place.

[ansontan2000]

"Get that axe ready. Something about this forest..."

Walk CAREFULLY towards Ferren, making sure I don't endanger myself.

Vines!

She screamed for help, and tried to anchor herself to stop moving away more.

[3] You scream. Your curse your team mates. Your curse the vine. Oh right the vine! You grab onto a very young, near by tree, stalling the vine for a little while.

Pauly strolls over, gives you an examining look, and whacks the vine, giving you enough force to yank free. You give yourself some distance from the vine, which is flailing about now. You almost run into Anderson, who seems content to just watch the whole thing.

He grabs his big stick and heads over to help her out.

[5]. You grab your Big Stick^tm and head over to Ferren. She is holding onto a sapling, as if for dear life. Oh, you see the problem. A taunt vine, wrapped around her leg. You give it a good one handed whack, giving Ferren enough relief to yank herself free.

Oh and hey, you can feel your left hand again.

Make that Axe with some of my string to hold the rock in place.

You knew that string would come in handy. You attach the string diagonally and not over the blade, because that would be stupid.

(+1 Stone Axe. -1 long, sturdy stick. -1 Blunt Axe Rock. -2 Yards of String)

Walk CAREFULLY towards Ferren, making sure I don't endanger myself.

[4] You walk very carefully towards Ferren, making sure not to disturb anything that might want to kill you. You watch as Ferren hugs a sapling while Pauly whacks his big stick behind her. Huh? Ferren gets up and almost runs into you. She looks upset, you wonder why.

Everyone. The Camp comes alive, with vines coming in from all directions. The vines search erratically for something (you assume yourself), flailing about. The Campsite probably won't be safe for a half hour.

"...maybe we should get out of here."
Pauly grips his stick in both hands as he gets away from the campsite.  Ready to defend himself, he scans the ground for firewood.
"We'll probably be safer if we set some fires around the camp perimeter."

I assume you're searching for firewood outside the campsite?

Never mind, silly question. Should have read more closely.
