Turn 3: Fire Everywhere
Take a large, long branch and light it on fire as a torch.
((Wow. I...I didn't die doing that!))
[2] You look around, but are unable to find any nearby branches that aren't already on fire to use as a torch. You reach into the fire to grab one, but pull your scorched arm out before you can reach it.
[-10 health]
Hahahahaha! Everything is better with a little fire!
Grab flaming branch. Continue setting things on fire.
[3+1] You grab a flaming branch, and walk over to the other side of the clearing and manage to set some stuff on fire there. The fire gets a +1 to its attack roll against within range this turn.
Stop drop and roll! Stop drop and roll! STOPDROPANDROLL!
[6] You get down on the ground and ROLL straight off the bank into the river. As you start to go downstream, you notice the crocodile straight upstream going for those fishes. You're also starting to get a little waterlogged. After you go downstream a bit, you see that the river branches into two.
Move my explosives away from the fire, towards any place I can find that the fire shouldn't spread.
((Not the river.))
[4] You look around at all the fire that is quickly becoming everywhere in reach, and leave the clearing traveling west. You don’t manage to get very far, but you get far enough that you should be safe from the fire for the immediate future.
Annie puts down her binoculars now that's she's seen what's needed to be seen. Which includes the crocodile. Although a large, particularly ticked tiger seemed like a primary danger, so does the fire and the crocodile.
"Would anyone like to know that a large Crocodylus palustris is crossing the river towards us? Or is everybody too busy clearing the jungle? Is that what the mission is?" Annie inquires politely. She doesn't expect to get an answer so she tries to move the fish away from the croc and the fire. They need to be cooked before eaten of course, but it would be bad to cook oneself along with the fish, right?
Perhaps it would be a better idea to put the man on ire out, but Annie has no suitable container for water and doesn't see one either. The man will simply have to douse himself. He's probably an expert after all, so it must be a controlled stunt~!
[5+1]v[2] You ask John if he could kindly give you his fish to stop them from getting burnt. He thinks about this for a few seconds, and is unable to think of any reason not to. He hands you all three of the fish.
[+3 large raw fish gained]
[6] You covertly take all three of the fish, and take off in a sprint, passing through one of the areas surrounding the clearing that aren’t burning just yet. You take a break after about a minute, panting heavily. You can’t see the fire anymore, but you can sort of tell what direction its in still, the stench of smoke is strong even this far away.
Tony Dallas scoffs at this puny fire! Nevertheless, he departs in a direction away from the fire, intimidating any animals out of his path.
[4] You rush out of one of the rapidly closing gaps in the fire, and get through with your clothes just a little singed. You stop outside the range of the fire, and look at those still in the clearing, waiting for them to get out.
Walk away from the fire, probable with Dallas.
[1] You try to run out of the fire with Dallas, but right after he passes the flames rush together, trapping you in. You flinch backwards, falling and spraining your right ankle. You stand up and try to walk through again, but the pain from your ankle is so intense that you almost fall over again. It feels like its broken, but you can tell that aside from the pain its working fine.

1] (crazy charge gives him -1 roll but +2 damage (which evens out to +1 damage if the hit connects), as well as a nasty wound if he missed) After trying to get a branch out of the flames, Plate takes a breath and looks up as he prepares to grab another. To his complete amazement, he sees The Tiger running straight down the side of a tree that couldn’t be less than 100 feet tall. Plate is transfixed to the spot, and only at the very last second does he begin to run. But he’s too slow, The Tiger’s front claws come down on his shoulders, shattering them instantly. The tiger then converts his downward momentum to horizontal momentum, launching himself off Plates broken shoulders at the fisherman.

As this ends, the crocodile pulls himself up onto the land, seemingly unconcerned by the fire. He has only one goal, to get the fish from the man with the rod.

The fire:
[6+1]v[6,2,3,4+1,4]
The fire roars and greedily expands, becoming an inferno that is wider and hotter by the second.
Joe is closest to the edge, and the first one the fire reaches for, seemingly alive. He dances back agilely, escaping into the center of the clearing with only a minor burn.
[-5 HP]
It grasps at Plate next, collapsed on the floor from the hit he took from The Tiger. It envelops him, and he barely manages to crawl out of it before he is consumed completely. As he crawls free, he finds that the smoke has driven him temporarily blind.

Joe fairs much better, but his fishing rod does not. Although he manages to keep out of the flame almost entirely, the string on his rod begins to char and blacken from the heat. Before he can do anything its gone almost entirely. The rest of the rod will still act as a workable weapon though.

The Tiger roars at the fire, and tries to leap through it, only to be beaten back by the flames and the heat. On its left side, its formerly peerless fur is burnt and scraggly.
[-15 HP]
The crocodile is burnt badly. After a bit of introspection, it decides that the fish aren’t worth it, and launches himself back into the river.
The fire has been upgraded into an inferno. Any attempt to escape it by any other route then jumping into the river carries a -2 penalty.

Congratulations, you have all managed to turn this situation completely horrible far faster than I thought possible. I think at least two of you will be dead before the sun rises the next day.

Also, sorry for the delay on this, wasn't able to get on the computer very much to finish it (excluding homework time that is).
