Turn 13: Death of a Thousand Cuts
Tony grabs the fish, hoping that the third time will be the charm. Very luckily for him it is. He takes the fish, and using it as a weapon [3-
1]v[4] tries to slap Kevin, which in a single fluid motion dodges his attack and gets behind him, and lunges at him
[1]v[6-1] , Tony simply rolls out of the way, and swings the fish at Kevin again filled with rage, not even coherent enough to use a proper weapon
[1-1]v[3] his rage is almost his undoing however, as yet again Kevin dodges him and strikes at him.
[3]v[6-1] But underneath his rage Tony remains a cunning fighter, simply pretending to be out of control so he could
[3-1]v[1] finally hit him with a fish. The slap is hard, and without remorse, but in the end, it’s only a small slap with a fish and despite some bruising on the top of his head, Kevin’s body and psyche are unharmed.
((I rolled without being quite sure whether to include your intimidation bonus, and I would have done it in the end if I hadn’t ended up with this ridiculous chain of rolls. If I had included it though you wouldn’t have gotten a hit in at all, so it actually ended up (very very slightly) better this way for you))
[Choking lost]

[6]v[1-
1] Enraged by being hit with a fish, Kevin charges Tony, and grabbing his hand between his jaws pulls him off his feet and drags him into the river. On the bright side he is safe from the pouring rain for now.
((He grabbed the arm that wasn’t holding the fish, so if you want to get your knife out you need to drop it))

[Light Bleeding]
[2] Joe sees the rain getting more intense, and realizes that without cover he will soon get blown away. In his attempt to escape the rain he trips and slides down a gully and hits his head on an exposed rock. [5]v[2-
1] Trapped at the bottom of the gully, there is nowhere for him to run to escape from the water. A current forms, and its all he can do to avoid being smashed to a paste against the walls of the small gully he is trapped in. As it is, he feels rather like a pinball. When the water finally deposits him a few feet after the end of the gully, his head has a large gash on it and he feels like he was up all night drinking.
[-5 HP]

concussion]
[-30 HP]
[
Heavy Bleeding]
[1]v[5], [6]v[1] His fire is similarly lucky, although it manages to hold out against the rain initially, in the end it ends up completely washed away.
[5] In a burst of athleticism, Blake sets off running straight down the hill. Even in the pounding rain he has no trouble at all escaping from the slow snakes without losing his footing. [2]v[6] Despite the rain trying halfheartedly to sweep him off his feet, he keeps his balance without any problems.
[4][Poison cured]
[4-1-1]v[4+1] Jake twists his body in a last desperate attempt to get The Tiger off of him. He fails completely however, The Tiger simply has a much better position than he does, not to mention being much stronger and not dying of a thousand cuts. After a few minutes he slows, and finally drifts off into slumber from the blood loss. The trip from sleeping to death is a quick one, and nobody even notices when he expires.
[2 light bleedings cured]
[-7 HP from bleeding]
[2+1] The Tiger waits, and sniffs the body. Yup, definitely still alive it thinks. Better wait to eat it till some more of the blood drains out. [1]v[6+1] The rain stays away from The Tiger, seemingly afraid to even get near him.
[6-
2] Annie runs over to the edge of the cave, and although it is extremely slippery manages to climb out without any trouble. [4]v[4] Once out however, the wind picks up, and only by grabbing a nearby tree does she manage to avoid getting blown away.
[1] For the first time in a very long time, the rain begins to slow. The winds first slow then stop, and then the solid sheets of rain begin to have a few small holes in them. Its still raining hard though, and the river is still very turbulent, but its still significantly drier then it was just a few minutes ago.
