Turn 6: One down, Six to go
[1]v[6] Blake reaches out and grabs the snake right behind the head. At least he thinks it’s the head until
[1]v[2] the snake rears back to bite him, and he realizes he’s holding the tail. Blake convulsively drops it and it rolls a few feet away.
[5]v[6] After shaking its head a bit, the snake rears back and tries to attack Blake again, but he waves his stick at it, and it backs off a bit. Blake still doesn’t exactly feel safe sleeping with it right there though.
[3-1-1] In the blackened ruins of where the fire used to be, John tries to crawl away from the fire. However, the only place the fire is still burning is in his mind. And he can never escape from that.

1 Plate tries to swim out of the mess he found himself in, and is actually making progress, somewhat surprising given his broken arms and blindness, when he feels something clamp down on his leg, trying to drag him deeper into the darkness, Plate kicks at it, but it won’t let go. He tries to scream as it’s jaws pulp his right leg, but all he succeeds in doing is losing all his air. At the last moment he jabs it in the eyes and it lets go, but by then he is on the edge of death, and the surface is so far overhead.

[6+1+1] The Tiger swims over to where Plate was, and then dives down, and grabs him gently with its jaws. Then it navigates the dangerous currents, and carries him to land without harming a single hair on his head.
[3+1]v[5-1-1-1] Once Plate is deposited, The Tiger takes a single one of its claws out, and rakes it horizontally across Plate’s neck. Then, it begins to eat.

[4+1] Before the crocodile can muster its forces of concentration to resume the intense mental struggle, Dallas shouts at it, and summons all the FLAKE POWER he can muster. With both FLAKE POWER and HAMMER POWER working together, the crocodile has no hope of breaking free.
[The crocodile now has a -3 to his mental escape rolls. In 5 turns it will be reduced to a penalty of -1, in 10 it will wear off entirely, if he manages to break free before then, the penalty will be erased]
[3+1]v[4-3] The crocodile displays an impressive amount of mental force attempting to break free of the control imposed on him, but as he attempts to break through, a psychic HAMMER covered in frosted FLAKES, hits the knot of his concentration and shatters it, and try as it might, the crocodile is unable to gather enough defensive force to stop it from shattering any gathering of mental force in an attempt to break free.

1] Joe attempts to use his power over fire to get out of the lake. He tries getting little jets of flame to shoot out of his feet and propel him to the bank. He tries summoning a hot wind again to levitate him out of the water. Sadly, none of these things work very well in the river at all and he is forced to swim to the bank like a regular human would. Once he gets there he thinks about starting a fire but stops, because he finds that he lacks sufficient time to do two unrelated actions in the same turn.
[3] Meanwhile back on dry land, Jake is fumbling about trying to put the fire out. He pats down on it, and tries throwing the burning straw out of the crate, but to no avail. At the last moment he switches his tactics, and tries to grab some of his explosives out of the crate before they can explode. He succeeds in grabbing two sticks of dynamite, the detonator, and his cable before the crate explodes. He reaches for one of his precious flasks of nitroglycerin when the first stick of dynamite finally explodes, triggering a chain reaction that destroys the crate completely, [6,2,4,2,3,6]v[4,5,5,4,5,2] [-2,0,0,0,0,-4] and flings him back fifty feet into some shrubs. After blacking out for a few minutes, he wakes with a deafening ringing in his ears and a deep gash on his right arm. He has no clue how he survived that, because there is a massive crater where his crate used to be.

1] Deep in the Jungle, Annie is clinging precariously to a stretching vine. With her light weight, she pulls herself up, hand by hand until she manages to reach the top of the ravine. She scrambles up the last few feet, and collapses in exhaustion. When she is feeling a bit more rested, she looks around for a place to rest, and after some stumbling around in the dark manages to find a spot under some brambles that seems sufficiently safe to rest in.
((Resting takes up a full (or almost entirely full) turn).
