(Oops, I thought I posted already.  Sorry.)
Head for the ruins.

[Orb]

You mean the pyramid, or the ruins of your campsite?

[Remalle]

The pyramid.

Spoiler: Turn 10: Foreboding Jungle (click to show/hide)

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.

[-] You find the ambush snake's, that bit Pauly, den. You waggle the piece of grass. Nothing happens.

(Most of this turn was spent finding the den and manufacturing the snare (which can be undone, so I'm leaving it as string. If you stay here, you are free to try multiple actions with the den)

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

[5] Unfortunately, the pebbles look more like they should be used for throwing, or for some other kind of ranged weaponry. You also only find a few pebbles, it seems most of the pebbles have been gathered.

(+3 Pebbles)

You look at the stone circle. There are broken pillars surrounding the circle. You wonder if Axel could use his axe and hit one just right, potentially breaking off a piece.

You also hand Pauly his stick before he runs off toward the Jungle.

Head for the ruins.

Ferren hands you your stick.

You head towards the jungle. The jungle is foreboding, with an eery silence. A clearing runs from the edge of the jungle to the pyramid, about 8ft wide. Puddles and ponds dot the path, indicating a surplus of water in the soil. You hesitate. You could go through the clearing, or through the dense foliage that surrounds it.

Everyone. Your increasing hunger starts to distract you. -1 to future rolls until cured.

Pauly sighs, and sits down to eat.  As he's picnicking he watches his surroundings closely, making a mental note of everything he sees.

[Tiruin]

"Hmm...with all these pebbles, maybe my knowledge on physical forces and mechanical motion won't be wasted.

"I need a sling."

Eat yon Ration!

Then search for elastic material/Whippersnaps.

[Zako]

Eat my ration and then head to the jungle and look for a few long straight pieces of wood.

Pauly sighs, and sits down to eat.  As he's picnicking he watches his surroundings closely, making a mental note of everything he sees.

You set up a nice picnic on the edge of an eery jungle and munch on your nondescript ration while observing your surroundings.

[6] You pay close attention to the jungle. This all seems very wrong. The Jungle should be thriving with activity, not dead silent. You think back to the forest, and how there was no life on the ground. Any animals at all were in the treetops, you'd assume, and this was due to the vines. Maybe there's something equally dangerous here too?

You think back to your vast knowledge of Sci-fi trivia. Wait. This jungle seems very similar to one in that one episode of Stargate: Universe...but what happened? You wrack your brain for answers.

(-1 ration, hunger cured)

Eat yon Ration!

Then search for elastic material/Whippersnaps.

You consume yon ration in a very nondescript way.

[5] You start wondering where you might find elastic material, a mostly synthetic material.

You look over the lunchbox in the center of the stone circle. Its lock seems to be broken, preventing anyone from closing it. But wait! There's a rubber band, broken, on the underside with it's ends visible. You assume this was used to keep the lunchbox closed for the poor kid who couldn't afford a new one.

(-1 ration, +1 broken rubber band, hunger cured)

Eat my ration and then head to the jungle and look for a few long straight pieces of wood.

You eat your ration and head straight for the jungle, passing Pauly.

[-] You wander around the foliage, looking for anything resembling a stick. It's oddly quiet in this biome. You're starting to wonder about this when you see a long stick, stuck in the sand in a clearing.

You hesitate. Could this be a trap set up by some intelligent being to trap adventurers like yourself?

(-1 ration, hunger cured)

Spoiler: Additional Info (click to show/hide)

Just so you know, hidden rolls could be anything. I just use it whenever I want the player to be left in the dark as to the result of his action.

It was a trap, Axel was sure of it. He wasn't that stupid to walk out into a clearing where he could be easily attacked. He had a better idea.

Throw one of my pebbles at the stick and see what happens when it hits it. Get ready to run if something should try to attack me.

[Remalle]

"Wait... wait wait.  Wait!  Wait, I know this one!"

"..."

"I got nothing."
Pauly makes as little noise as possible as he heads further towards the pyramids, big stick in hand, sticking to the cover of the foliage.

[Tiruin]

"Now some kind of adhesive or added length of twine and I've a sling!"

Try to complete the sling by finding any other materials needed to make the weapon around my general area, in where I'd best think possible (not where the vines are.)

[2] You throw a pebble. It misses and lands in the sand, sinking a little. Nothing appears immediately threatening.

(-1 Pebble)

Pauly makes as little noise as possible as he heads further towards the pyramids, big stick in hand, sticking to the cover of the foliage.

[5] You're as silent as a mouse, gliding through the foliage. By luck alone you avoid any potential dangers the GM thought of, which makes the GM sad.

You arrive at the pyramid. It's pretty standard fare. There's an entrance in the front, with a puddle near by. The pyramid looks like it was just built yesterday, and probably was, considering everything else that's been going on lately.

Try to complete the sling by finding any other materials needed to make the weapon around my general area, in where I'd best think possible (not where the vines are.)

[5] You generically look around. With no goal in mind, you fail to find anything and sit down and think.

For a sling you'll need a lot of string. Otherwise it's fairly easy to make. It would take a lot of skill to use, however.

Another possibility is to make a slingshot. You already have a rubber band, you assume you'll need some string to tie it in place and a stick for the frame.

Spoiler: Additional Info (click to show/hide)

A rather boring turn. When searching for items, you have to specific. Otherwise we get "GM, make an axe for me!" And I end up having to think for all the players, with the benefit of knowing the environments and what's available where

((I don't know what to expect, with one part being vine filled, and the other having no sapient lifeforms on the land-area.))

Find a trident shaped stick, or at least one that I could use as a weapon or more preferably, a tool.

Something flexible but sturdy would do.

In Axel's general direction, if possible.

[Orb]

((I don't know what to expect, with one part being vine filled, and the other having no sapient lifeforms on the land-area.))

True. I've already started planning for a sequel, and I have this in mind. I'm going to have the bestiary filled at the start, along with a description of each area in more detail.
