(Waiting on an actual action from RangerCado.  I would assume you'd be prepping a camp area, although what that entails I do not know.  Do you want a fire?  Are you going to desecrate the forest in order to build some makeshift shelter?  Would that be on ground level, or is everyone going to climb trees?)

I, at least, am just scavenging from the pod.

(When someone dies, the next player(s) land in the next droppod, which will NOT be randomly rolled to determine destruction.  I'm intending to kill people regularly, but hopefully not ever TPK'ing.  If the game goes well, and I don't get to kill people, then I'll probably increase the number of players, but at that point I'll need synopses for peoples' actions.)

(Do you mean you're tearing it apart with the Droids or just trying to open the other passenger pods?  I initially interpreted that as salvaging the whole thing.)

Whichever gives us the largest proportion of the pod and its contents as useable stuff.

(Quickly popping in; I'll try to do an update when I get home tonight, if Rem hasn't done one by then.  Don't really have time right now.)

((Oops, sorry.))

Selina begins clearing rubble away to prepare a fire, using a single shot from her laser weapon if it would do the job faster. When the fires a decent size, she'll begin gathering plenty of firewood to keep it going for a few hours atleast.

(GM OOC: Pretty tired, so less detail than I wanted to put in.  First combat!)

Carl watches over the Droids as they cut their way into the droppod with their industrial lasers (which are not suitable for combat.  They have a long charge-up time and are inaccurate.)  Serina and Harvey patrol around the droppod, watching for activity in the jungle.  As the sun dims, the plant changes colour from green to a more yellowy shade.

Selina begins piling fallen plants for a fire and shoots it with her laser rifle, igniting them.  A thin trail of smoke rises into the air.

Harvey hears some rustling, but is incapable of pinpointing where.  Both Harvey and Serina hear a very quiet buzzing noise.  Branches snap loudly, and Harvey wheels towards the sound, bearing his Laser Rifle towards a grotesque creature charging into Selina.

The creature's green skin looks stretched over its body, with four segmented limbs running against the ground.  Its head bears some similarity to an Earth mosquito, although its lack of antennae and presence of large mandibles disuades the similarities.  The creature's relative size is about equal to that of a wolf, though its appearance is effectively synonymous with a bug.

Harvey fires a shot at the creature before it barrels into Selina, but it singes the ground next to the creature.  Its limbs punch into Selina, dealing 4 damage.  It then bounds off a few feet away from her, preparing for its next strike.

Immediately after this attack, Serina, who had recovered her wits quickly, fires her own attack at the creature, but her shot also goes wide.

Three more creatures of similar, though not quite the same, appearance also emerge into the clearing.  One charges Harvey, but overshoots and misses him completely.  Another one charges Serina, faring better, tackling her and dealing 8 damage.  The fourth creature, tailing behind the others, hisses and follows the same course as the first; it practically leaps onto Selina, striking her for an additional 4 damage.

Everyone also notices the presence of many small insects, similar to grasshoppers in appearance, hopping on top of everything in the clearing.

Harvey and Serina act first.

(Nope!  The damage has yet to be reduced by armour DR.  Wanted to make it more simple for everyone, even if that meant tipping my hand.  It also let's people have a more visceral reward for higher DR armour.)

(If you really want to, you can hustle up to it and punch it.  Not going to use distance modifiers until you get out of the jungle.  If you can see it, assume you get your full attack bonus.)
