Pauly pauses for a moment to grin at his good luck.
He grabs the nearest pebble and tosses it into the puddle before carefully entering the pyramid, using his stick to trap check.

(I don't know, I kind of like having turns that are this long.)
Pauly grimaces.  What had he just hit?  After some consideration, he realizes what he's up against.
"Fuck!  It's the Watcher in the Water!"
Gripping his big stick firmly in both hands, (...) he lifts it over his head and brings it down on the water with all his strength.  If something attacks him he'll run, otherwise he'll continue into the pyramid as before.

"Fuck!  It's the Watcher in the Water!"
"Hey, you read that too?"

((Erp, supposed to be an OOC thing))

Ferren decided to ask Axel for some of his yards of string to form a Sling from what she had.

(Pauly is by the pryamid. We're out in the jungle. We can't hear him.)

Axel looked at Ferren and then looked back at the stick in the clearing.

"If you go grab that for me, I'll give you some. I don't like the feeling about it. I think it's a trap."

Oh dear, deals this early.

Ferren looked at the stick Axel was indicating, it could be a trap, and the deal felt somewhat one-sided if it was...but he had the measure to tell her of it.

"You have a deal."


Get yon stick.

"Cool. I'll help if I can if you get into trouble."

Watch carefully and keep a lookout for anything suspicious. Warn Ferren if something is coming straight at her or around her.

((Do not believe those movies on quicksand.  :P))

Ferren closed her eyes as she felt the pressure on her lower body. It was quicksand, something she learned to deal with in Engineering.

It dealt with pressure, and silt. Water, and sand.

Hmm...

Technically, it was impossible to even sink or drown in quicksand, unless something else was tampering with it. Thoughts of human density vs Quicksand density came into Ferren's mind.


Relax, take deep breaths.

"DON'T you help me, Axel! I can get out by myself!"

She knew that quicksand won't fully envelop the person, especially the upper parts like the head. Perhaps if a bit of air was introduced...

Wriggle legs to creates a space between the legs and the quicksand through which water can flow down to dilate [loosen] the sand. Keep on doing it slowly and progressively.

If possible, lay that stick behind me, parallel to the surface of the quicksand and use that to aid in balance.

(Wow.  This went downhill extremely quickly.
I believe quicksand is a suspension of sand in water?  Or at least, that's what I remember from watching a few minutes of Mythbusters while not really paying attention quite a few years ago.)

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 (...) .

Drat. Foiled again. Alright, I messed up with quicksand. Ferren won't have to roll for her next action and will get out safely.

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

Also, just a reminder, I do update the bestiary whenever you guys find a new life form.

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

(I FUCKING KNEW IT! DAMN YOU ACKBAR, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!)

Axel heard the voice and pauly's scream. The temptation was strong, he could go home now! But he would have to kill a fellow human being to do so...

"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?"

Addendum:

Then bring that stick along, and get Axel's string because intuition told me I made it out  :D

And then examine the current vicinity.
