Turn 14: GWG Was Right All Along
[4] Blake wanders around looking for somewhere to sleep or someone to eat and ends up right where he started the day at, the base of the standing stone. Not the best place in the world to sleep given how dangerous it is to get up and down, but he thinks that he learnt a bit from his time climbing it.

[1] Annie figures that she needs to find a safe place to stay, because after all, the jungle is a dangerous place and anything could find her. She figures that the other side of the ravine would be safer from those maniacs that came with her, and within a few minutes she finds it (and the tree spanning it again). Walking across the tree proves easy, until the last few steps when some large glowing eyes peer at her out of the gloom. She recoils and slips, her hand grabs for a branch but misses by a mile instead cutting itself open on something sharp on the tree. She falls for endless seconds, thinking that this will be the end of her. When she lands she encounters water, and after swimming upwards, finds herself in the middle of a large lake. It appears to be draining out in a direction she arbitrarily declares as the south. East and west are the walls of the ravine (although she is unable to tell which one is the direction she just came from). To the north there is more water as far as she can see.

2-2] In a single swift motion Tony draws his knife out of its sheath. But try as he might, all of his attempts at repetitive stabbing come to naught, for he is fighting a crocodile in the water, and the river is swollen with anger. [5+2-2]v[1-2] Although the crocodile is similarly impeded, he is a far superior creature in the water. With a single bite Tony’s arm is separated at the elbow, and blood pours out of the area where an arm once was.

[5+2-2]v[4-2] Although Kevin would be free to escape at this point, to leave behind the human that caused it so much humiliation, he opts for revenge. This time he goes for the right arm, but with some waving around of his dangerous knife Tony manages to ward him off without letting him take his other arm. But in the dark and turbulent waters of the river, Tony is barely able to keep track of Kevin at all, and when Tony loses sight of him for a moment, he strikes Tony’s chest with his tail as hard as he possibly can, and the pain from the impact almost knocks him out.

[6-1] Joe wanders around, and after about an hour finds a small cave, luckily the entrance to it angles upwards, so it was able to avoid the rain and flooding that plagued the rest of the jungle.. Joe explores it for a few minutes, and instead of immediately finding the end, he finds that it extends and grows larger instead into the distance. At least the cave is safe from the rain and the damp.
((Gullies are pretty small, you are (and were) still in the jungle proper))

[5]v[2-2-1] Tony writhes against the currents of the river, trying to swim upwards towards the light, towards the last fading rays of sun. But he can’t escape the pull of the river, the turns and twists that tear the air from his lungs. And he slowly sinks deeper down into the murk and muck of the river as the last air leaves his body.

[4] The rain is seemingly content with the changes wrought in the past few hours, because it keeps steady once again, neither increasing nor decreasing. It seems that even unto the end of the world the rain will continue to fall.
Day passes into night, and once again there is true darkness in the forest.
