Turn 4: Out of the Frying Pan into the Fire
[3+1] Dallas sees a golden opportunity. And being a tiger of action, he jumps at the chance. Running around the infero, he is able to catch the crocodile just as it dives back into the water. With a roar, he jumps onto its back. The tiger turns around to bite at him, but for an instant Dallas assumes the frightening visage of MC HAMMER. Terrified, the crocodile can do nothing but comply with his mad whims. However, Dallas is not strong enough to command the full power of the HAMMER, and soon the crocodile will break free from his control. (Every turn after this the crocodile will get a combat roll vs dallas. If he wins, then he breaks free of your control).
[Gained
crocodile mount and pet]
[4] Blake manages to drag himself out of the river. After he coughs up the water in his lungs, he takes note of the items he possesses. His suit is looking rather ragged and bedraggled, both from the water and the fire. Everything else is in fine condition though, far better than to be expected given what he just went through. The books somehow avoided getting waterlogged, and his ink jar is still closed tightly. You try to watch the fire, but aside from a glow, you can’t see it past the bend in the river. You contemplate going back upriver to see if everyone is still alright, but decide against it for now.
[1+1] Jake removes the cap from his grenade, primes it, and throws it as hard as he can. It flies straight ahead, until it bounces off a branch and flies straight backwards. In horror you grab your crate and try to drag it backwards.
(Hohum, the long delay time on it means that the grenade explodes at the absolute end of the turn. Yeah, it isn’t the best of weapons to be honest. You would probably get a better (although far more dangerous result) just setting your dynamite off and throwing it, and get a better (although more dangerous still) by using your nitroglycerin).
[6+1] (After some debate, I decided to add pyromania to the roll, but only assuming that he actually escaped in the first place (it didn’t make much sense for burning things to help him escape)).
With a mad cackle Joe held down the trigger on his flamethrower as he ran, splashing the ground with gasoline, and covering the river itself. He sees Dallas riding on a crocodile, and waves hello to him with his flamethrower. [4-
1]v[4+
1] As Dallas sees the fire heading towards him, he orders the crocodile underwater, and he watches from below as the flames rage far above. Joe frowns when he realizes that he accidently shot at Dallas with some flames, but figures that seeing as he’s riding a crocodile, he should be able to survive without too much trouble. Joe jumps through the new flames, and splashed down into the river, barley able to keep from floating up to the surface with his surprisingly buoyant flamethrower.
[-2 flamethrower ammo]
(After a bit of thought, your reckless use of it each times cost ½ a ammo, and the attack cost 1 ammo)
[1] Plate just starts to hyperventilate. He tries to muster up the will to escape, to put out the fire, but is unable to find any. “THIS ISN’T FAIR” he yells “WHY DID THAT BLOODY MANIAC GET OFF SCOTT FREE”. He takes another breath, and the smoke fills his lungs. He starts coughing profusely. He tries to drag a breath of air through his lungs, but the pain is too intense. He falls face down and he suddenly can’t move at all.
[-10 HP]Plate simply sits there sobbing, unable to summon enough willpower to make his ruined body do anything.
[-10 HP from burning]
[Burnt Lungs][1-1] John stumbles along the ground, in a direction that he hopes is the river. Smoke blocks his vision in every direction. After several steps he collapses to the ground, his lungs clogged and rendering breathing nearly impossible. He tries to stand again, and puts all his weight on his good leg. He takes another step, and falls down again. He takes a stumbling breath with his bad ankle, and screams as his good leg falls down a hole and snaps. In his pain, he misses when a single drop of water falls through the canopy and splashes on his head.

[5] Annie tries to feel the direction of the wind, but the air felt tepid and flat. She thinks that she can smell the smoke somewhere behind her, but exactly where is a bit too hard for her to tell. With nary a stumble, she flits through the jungle, hopping over brush and around trees. After about two hours, she stops out of breath. It had been about an hour since she had smelt any smoke at all. In front of her, is a steep ravine. She can’t tell how long or deep it is, but she doesn’t relish trying to find a way across it in the dark.

[3+1]The Tiger runs out of the tiny gap remaining, and jumps out above the river, for a brief instant it is silhouetted above the burning river in flight, suspended between heaven and earth. Then it plunges down into the river, swallowed whole by the water.

The Inferno rushes forwards, enveloping Plate, burning most of the rest of the life out of him till he is a smoldering crust around a boiling core. Miraculously, he is still alive.
[-15 HP]
John on the other hand stumbled into the right location, the fire burns around him, but never actually harms him.

[6v5-
1]The delayed explosive throwing device rolls and clanks, seemingly chasing Jake. He finally manages to put some distance between him and it however, when it finally exploded. The explosion throws him through the air, and he lands on the ground a few yards away, a heavy ringing in his ears.
