Turn 18: Eaten Alive
[1] Annie looks around, and she clearly sees a small island to the “east” adjacent to the walls of the ravine. It even looks like it has an animal trail she could use to get back to the jungle proper (not that it looks like the climb is safe). She dives off the tree, and is halfway to the small island she noticed when she begins to tire. She manages to go on for a few more minutes until she accidently takes a gulp of water. She manages to get the water out of her lungs after some vigorous coughing, but she realizes that she may actually die here in this placid lake.

[3-2] Blake tries to drag his leg out of the hole, but to his horror finds that it’s completely stuck. He only tries for a moment however, because soon he is focused entirely on the ants.
[2-2,5-1,5,1+1,1+2,3+3,6+4,4+5]v[1+1-1,2+1-1,6+1-1,2+1-1,5+1-1,6+1-1,1+1-1,3+1-1], total roll differences: [-1,2,-1,0,-2,0,9,6] The ants swarm over every inch of blake, searching for a way in, and within moments they succeed. Even though the pain from a single ant bite is trivial, the pain of tens of thousands of ants is anything but. After a minute of the pain he passes out, and soon the ants finish devouring him completely.

EXCRUCIATING PAIN]
[Blake is Dead]
[AUTOFAIL] Joe gathers his fire, and compresses it into a tiny ball. He fires it with all his force at the bear who then eats it. Shit. It appears that the bear isn’t just any ordinary bear, it’s a
Sun Bear, with the ability to nullify the element of fire. Completely shocked by this turn of events, Joe stands still for a bit too long and it only takes a few seconds for the bear to reach him and bite off his head in a single action.
[-47 HP]
[Joe Bridger is Dead]
[2+2] The Tiger gets on the trail of his chosen prey and disappears into the dark jungle.
[2] The rain slows down again, as if it was a response to the incursion of living humans. Soon the rain is simply a minor annoyance once again.

This game will continue long enough to determine if Annie gets out of the lake, at which point it will end.
Lalasa gets free entry into the next game I am running, which should have the rules and OP posted within a day or two. Sorry GWG, you have to get lucky like everyone else and be on when I open the thread.
