Nedenir notices has found food and moves on to help him.

Get one of the same plants Roland took and eat it. If possible, search for a source of water afterwards.

[V-Norrec]

"Curses."  She says. Fruit-bearing trees, would have made a reliable source of food for a while, and a nice base while searching or creating shelter and any other necessities. With a sigh Ssraah Slithers to the top of the tree, trying to find a source of fresh-water, and then slithers off in that direction, food sure to be close by the water.  If she reaches the water she drinks of it at the very least before searching for local fruits or vegetables.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Hunt some small game, if i see a pond or stream sharpen the stick and go fishing instead.

[NRDL]

...Find water.

[IronyOwl]

Turn 2: Oh shi-

Roland smiles at everyone around him, then speaks.
"Alright then guys. Let's all get comfortable and then we need to plan."
Roland continues foraging for food. Once he finds some, he piles it somewhere.

[2] You find nothing edible this time.

Hungry
Thirsty

[6] You discover two more of the same type of plant nearby. Score!

[3] You manage to climb a little ways, but it's not a very tall tree and the crown is pretty thick.

[5-1] You manage to see what you think is a lake regardless, however.

[1] You run nose first into a...

Spoiler: Oh Let's See Now... (click to show/hide)

First we'll need a table for the head.

1 = Bear
2 = Jackal
3 = Lobster
4 = Snail
5 = Iguana
6 = Pit Viper
7 = Shark
8 = Octopus

That should do. And we get [1], bear. Kind of mundane, isn't it?

So, body next.

1 = Armadillo
2 = Snail
3 = Octopus
4 = Tiger
5 = Anklysaurus
6 = Humanoid

Less creative this time. Should probably reuse the old list, but eh. We get a [3] Octopus. Alright, so a bear-headed octopus. This has been "It'd be boring to just have him come face to face with a bear, let's make this interesting" with IronyOwl.

...giant octopus with a bear's head?

[1] It is pissed.

[6+3] vs [2] It strangles you like a baby. [6] vs [2] It also latches on successfully. Uh oh.

-7 HP
+3 Toughness
Grappled

...Find water.

[1] You find a patch of sand.

Assist ally!

You rush over to the guy being eaten by an octopus-bear. [5] vs [6] Despite your valiant efforts, it retains its grip on him.

Anyway, now that there's combat I'd like to try an experiment. Everyone may submit both a combat and noncombat action; the combat action is anything on a very small scale, the noncombat action is anything that takes you all day to accomplish.

[V-Norrec]

Throw things at the octopusbearpig from a relatively safe distance, aiming for the eyes.

*ahem* "I have found a lake, anyone who wishes to go check it out with me is welcome to" Ssraah announces before slithering to the lake and quenching her thirst, looking for any fruits or vegetables along the way.

[Spinal_Taper]

"Guys, let's all group up at the lake once we're comfortable."
Help with beartupus. Head to lake afterwards, taking it's corpse and any other food found.

[Caellath]

((I think one unit of fruit and/or water per turn may be a little too much or our characters will have to use a wheelbarrow to carry what it takes to feed them for half a dozen hours.))

Noticing the problem with bearctopus, Nedenir moves in to help, even without any real skill available to help him save his companion from his plight! Which may end up in friendly fire somehow.

Combat: Throw rocks at bearctopus' head.

Noncombat: Gather and stock more fruit and water.

[IronyOwl]

((I think one unit of fruit and/or water per turn may be a little too much or our characters will have to use a wheelbarrow to carry what it takes to feed them for half a dozen hours.))

((It's only for full, supposedly day-long turns that apply that, so a half dozen turns would be a fairly impressive trek. One of the reasons I'm experimenting with simultaneous combat/day turns, in fact; the alternative is have people in combat both being in battle and not needing to eat for three days.

That said, I'm not positive it's not too much anyway, I just don't want acquiring food to be trivial once you get some tools, skills, or infrastructure going for it. Water less so, though; that's intended to be pretty much "are you near a lake/well?"))

[Unholy_Pariah]

Combat:
take the stick and shove it down the octobear's throat to prevent it biting me then gouge the living %$#@ out of its eyes with my claws.

Non combat:
Find food and/or water,
if octobear is defeated gut it and drink its blood then take a few meat and start making spears from its teeth.

also how do i get more level's in cellular regeneration?

[Tiruin]

((What I know, Mcclay usually is busy somewhere else on the forums and needs a PM to get back into action, perhaps he's not checking his newbox frequently.  ))

[NRDL]

Sneak attack that Lovecraftian Horror

[V-Norrec]

((Bump?))

[IronyOwl]

mcclay's out, Tiruin's in. This isn't the cause of the delay, but we might as well get him in here while we wait.

[Tiruin]

Will submit my sheet later on, one question:

Are we all human by default?
