Turn 7: Damn Damn Monkeys
[1] John tries as hard as he can to think of a way to stop the bleeding. It would be much easier if he could just cover or bind the wound somehow. But with a pole stuck in the middle of his chest he can’t quite figure out quite how to bind it. In the end he figures that cleaning the wound out with water from the river might be a good idea. He manages to shamble over to it without much trouble, but he is quickly disabused of the notion when his legs buckle and he falls straight into the river.

1] Meanwhile on the other side of the river, Joe attempts to start another fire, but try as he might, the damp defeats him. He grumbles angrily at the failure of his attempts.
[3]v[5] Blake grabs his stick and swings it at the snake again, missing it by a mile. Seeing his opportunity
[3]v[5] the snake slithers forward, and attacks in the brief opening that Blake left. Blake sees this coming however, and blocks the snake’s attack with one of his books.
[6]v[3] This time the snake is vulnerable with its fangs stuck in the book, and Blake takes his time winding up, and hits the snake as hard as he can. It flies out into the rain and the darkness. Blake isn’t quite sure where it is now, but it’s surely off of the stone.
[6] Blake lies down, and sleeps deeply without dreams, waking well rested and safe. He isn’t quite sure how he will get down off this rock though.

[2] Jake sets about to try to bandage his wound closed, but finds that he has absolutely no clue how to do so. In the end all he succeeds in doing is infecting his wound with his rumblings about. Dismayed with his lack of success, he lays where he is and tries to get some sleep before the next day.

1] Seeing that the strange creature fell asleep, a monkey climbs down from one of the nearby trees, and stealthily walks over to Jake. The monkey fishes in Jake’s pockets, and finds all three sticks of dynamite, the detonator, and the cable. It grabs all of it (rather awkwardly), and climbs up the nearest tree, disappearing into the gloom of the night and the rain within moments. A few hours later, Jake wakes up from a deep sleep feeling rather distressed, although it takes him a few minutes to realize why; all his explosives and explosives equipment is gone.

[Lost 3 dynamite, detonator, cable]
((Just so you know, the monkey finding you in particular was independent of your 2 and was the result of me rolling a 3 to see who it would bother))
[6] Far away, Annie settles down to sleep, and has a disturbing dream where she is being chased by fire. No matter how or where she runs, it’s always just behind her, waiting to consume her if she ships up for even a moment. Despite this, she awakens feeling well rested and full of energy, the dreams already fading to nothingness.

[6+1]v[5-3] The crocodile once again tries to break free of the mental control that is imposed upon it, but once again fails to make any headway against the forces arrayed against it.
[1+1] Tony urges the crocodile forward to catch some fish, but only a single fish is found, one that is quickly eaten up by the crocodile. Tony hits it on the head to punish it. Another fish is not found. After that the quickly go over to the bank of the river to find a place to sleep, and find a place that looks fairly safe, although his hunting took up so much time that he wasn’t able to rest.

[4+1] The Tiger continues to eat Plate, only pausing to rip the bad tasting clothes off his body. Luckily for it, its action also rips the vials containing the mating hormones off Plate’s body as well. If it had eaten them, things could have went very bad indeed.
As it continues to gnaw on the body, light slowly begins to filder through the canopy of the jungle. The rain continues on steadily and drearily however.
