Okay I'll admit that post was funny but damn Aran is an ass. (granted I'm not much better ) now Get to know the group better before going to sleep

What do I know of Aran Tamer so far? Well he threatened the two at first, worked at the city guard for food, is a were-wolf [sorta] and wants a sword... Plus the delay has led to some characterization changing. Plus it's the first time I've done an update with people all intertwined like that.

Ooo, backstory time for the amnesia guy!

"I woke up somewhere nearby about a day ago. I couldn't remember who i was or where i was. I picked a direction and started walking. Along the way i checked my pack and found an unstrung bow and a few arrows. I decided to call myself Marks, like a marksman, and continued on. Eventually i saw this town but i was freezing by then. I lost conciousness for a bit and woke up with the blacksmith guy. He fed me then said to wait here and he'd find someone to help with the frostbite my feet had since i awoke. Then you 3 came and well, you know the rest."

Marks is a very calm, humble person. He protects his friends and goes stone cold in personality if their in danger. He is kinda quiet though, not really knowing what to say or do most of the time due to his amnesia. (I do plan to clear that up later... much later)

[zacen299]

Well I know I'm not going to feel good or happy unless I do some backstory myself ( this is gonna take forever with the PS3 virtual keyboard ) " Well for me it was quite different you see where I'm from when we reach maturity we must leave for a while to see societies other than our own. I like anyother went happily on my way, the one problem is that a irritatingly large number of people seem to think people of my race are feral monsters. To be fair and honest there were many more who happily treat us normally, as this village proves. Really though nothing all that grand has happened since I left home but I have seen some interesting things. Really I'm honestly happy to wander like this although meeting some other interesting people such as yourselves could serve to bring some needed exictement into my life"   HOLY CRAP that took a long time 0-0

[zacen299]

Shit have to double post to fit all this due to the arbitrary character limit the PS3 has ( no it really doesn't make sense ) but as I was trying to point out Aran is quite outgoing and yet he values his beliefs over any sort of friendship or position ( that isn't to say he doesn't want friends, he just can't be around people he can't see eye to eye with which I should add takes quite a bit due to his willingness to compromise but set him off and hoo boy it could get ugly fast. Now I should explain what thoese beliefs are, pretty much he simply wants peace and equality ( cheesy I know ) between all races, species , sexes and levels of money and power that and well the basics not murderous bastards and no oppressers. If any of that made sense.

Spoiler: Finkus the Boogeyman Night 6 (click to show/hide)

Focusing your new powers towards finding any form of civilization you altered air currents as expertly as you could in order to find some sort of city or village. To your complete surprise you almost instantly picked up a scent. It was faint but it was characteristic of large groups of sentient beings living within a confined area. With a grin you informed Gewig of your success though you found that he cared little for the news. Beckoning him to travel with you for just a little while into the night you both headed towards the pollution producing area.

Eventually you noticed that Gewig was no longer traveling with you. This was… less than ideal as the large troll was sure to gain you some muscle for your plans later on. People were much less likely to rob a troll and boogeyman than just a boogeyman. For a moment you stood there in silence pondering where how exactly such a large creature could possible get away from you until you saw the frowning creature return. “Alright Gewig?”

“Hit head. No talk about it.”

“How did you-“

“No talk about it.”

“But-“

“No.” Gewig’s glare seemed to promise that his Zweihander may be used on you if you asked again so you decided to respect his wishes.

“Well… As it happens I desire sleep at this point so… Sleep time it is.”

“Yes…”

With that the two of you found a quiet spot to sleep in. Knowing that the next day would be much better for the two of you.

’The little creature wanted to go to city. Is not bad. City have plenty of food. Food is nice. You want food. Let’s go get food.’ you decide. Walking off from the little boogeyman you searched high and low for some form of food.

Unfortunately you couldn’t seem to find any sort of food that was to your liking. Once you saw a small deer. You knew that deer tasted delicious and that the young were spectacularly tasty. With a great leap you swung your zweihander over your head and brought it down right on… a pile of rocks that in the dark you had mistaken for a young deer. Your moment of confusion was avoided however when a large treebranch that you had hit during your mid-air swing came crashing onto your head. While it didn’t leave any marks it wasn’t very fun either. Returning to the boogeyman, who seemed to notice your disposition, you tried your hardest to put on an air ‘Don’t talk to me right now.’ Unfortunately it didn’t work.

“Alright Gewig?” the small one asked.

“Hit head. No talk about it.”

“How did you-“ It insisted on talking.

“No talk about it.”

“But-“ Why did it insist on talking?

“No.” You glared at the creature as you said the word as forcefully as you could. Thankfully he seemed to get the hint and changed the subject.

“Well… As it happens I desire sleep at this point so… Sleep time it is.”

“Yes…” You agreed knowing that by the time Day came your head would feel perfectly fine despite the slight ache that it was feeling now.

Spoiler: Svjornbold Day 1 (click to show/hide)

Your first idea was to attempt to get the lay of the land. After all it would be much easier to find where to go, if anywhere, if you knew what the land was like. Searching around for a decently climbable tree you set your equipment down and reached for the lowest branch. It was just out of reach unfortunately. Stopping only for a split-second you then reached for some of the vines on the tree thinking that perhaps they would hold your weight. To your great pleasure they did and you climbed the tree… For about two seconds until the vines peeled away from the tree and planted you flat on your back on the ground.

Grumbling in distaste you decided to gather up the vines as an example to the other trees around here that you were not to be trifled with. Collecting a decent amount you were suddenly struck with an idea. ’We might be here a while… Why should I sleep on the cold hard ground?’ with that in mind you began your weaving. It took several hours but you were very pleased with the end result. A beautiful vine hammock rested in your hands. Now you only needed to hang it up.

After doing so, however, you noticed that it was quite late and that Kilik was moping about with some large rocks. ’Odd… was all you thought as you rested momentarily in your hammock. The only real question was what to do now that it was Night

Spoiler:  Kilik Bali’Plop Day 1 (click to show/hide)

“River then food… River then food… River then food…”  You repeated this mantra to yourself for several hours as you searched, with increasing worry, for a body of water. At first you wanted a river… then you decided that you could settle for a lake… then you recalled that you enjoyed ponds… then again puddles are very interesting… But it was all in vein. You couldn’t find a single body of water no matter how small.

With a groan you decided to leave searching for water until tomorrow. You didn’t mind the wait too bad. So for now… you decided that some rocks and wood could be made into some very useful material. Though you didn’t find too terribly many rocks their size made it worth it. Picking up the Large Rocks you set about finding some wood.

It took around twenty minutes to find the perfect tree for your wood gathering. Strong, robust, and pleasant to the eye it was everything you wanted and more. Looking for a decently loose branch to worry off you began climbing. The lower branches were too strong though so you kept climbing ever higher until you grasped a sufficiently lose branch. ’Bingo! you thought to yourself as you grasped it with one hand while keeping your other hand firmly grasping a “foothold”. It took several minutes to get the branch to break off from the main tree though. Unfortunately the branch was heavier than you anticipated and sent you tumbling off of your perch into a twenty foot drop. With a yelp you instinctively shielded your head with your arms, accidently throwing the branch in the process. With a resounding thud you landed right on your pile of Large Rocks. Pain racked your body as you lay there for an hour or so trying to work up the will to head back to Svjornbold. Eventually though you managed to work up the power to head back to camp.

As you travelled you considered at length what you should do now it was Night

Make fire for warmth and night, keep back to nearest largest tree. Evaluate coldness to see if a fire is even necessary to not die.
Use rocks to knap me a knife carefully
Use found vines to weave a net to throw on people and entangle them.
use rocks to knap an axe if extra time is available.

it appears i have only a 50% change of doing things, if i USE KNIFE to GATHER VINES, will my chances be better? what about USE ROPE to CLIMB TREE? How is time to do things measured? do i only get to try once for each action attempted? like, trying to climb a tree takes like maybe a minute, but weaving a basket might take 4 hours. If i attempt more things will i get more rolls attempting them? does being small and light help me climb trees or ride smaller animals or anything like that?

"I will sleep tomorrow, you can use this hammock tonight and i will watch."

[SharpKris]

Is it back story time? i think we covered that a while back. but to summerise it Ashur is a goatman/deamon, born to his human mother who's overfond of so to say "wild" races. he's fragile and feels as if the world is against him most of the time, as result he became very cautious and is less then trusting most of the time. all he knows about his race is what his mother used to tell him. after her death he was exiled from his home village and forced to find a new safe home (not that he felt really attached to his old village in the first place), but maybe he'll return there one day and they will accept him or not? who cares?

sleep for the night

[Rolepgeek]

"Oww...this forest is ridiculous and strange. No water? Gah! How am I supposed to use what is not there?" he grumbled, frustrated and in pain. At least he had rocks. He couldn't do much with them, since he had no wood, but...maybe the Trueborn could. Setting the heavy stones by the (presumably) male, he flexed his spines in thanks, and looked at the hammock carefully. It would be good to rest, especially with his back like this. Climbing in, he felt around. The movement was a bit disorienting, but once he got used to it, it was oddly comforting. Like being tied down in a river to sleep. But without the pain of the rope, though the air was still a bit too dry. But by now, Kelik had gotten used to that. Though he was quite thirsty, he had some water left...before he let himself fall asleep, he played around a bit with his magic, trying to see if he could draw out water from the ground, make a puddle to wet his skin with. Or maybe from the nearby plants, like the kindling Svjornbold was trying to use to make a fire.

Try and dry out stuff Svjornbold is using to make fire, to help him and test magic.
Also try to make a puddle with water underground, to get scales wet.
Then sleep in hammock.
