Your name is Dave. There are many gods but they are only some of the lights. Your patron goddess is Hecate. As for fire:
                                                                                                                                                                   

You attempt to create fire by rubbing two sticks together. You beg your divine to help you, so you may offer a sacrifice. A wind gusts and the fire catches, and we have fire!

Attempt to get fire out of thin air/artistic license.

You snap your fingers, hoping to create fire, but you get nothing but disappointment.


You then take your rotting corpse thing, and drop it in the fire. The smoke thickens, pleasing you (and hopefully your god)

What now?

We should build up the fire before we go out for more sacrifices.

You decide your best options are to become King of Walmart, or to find more sacrifices.
Wait, what?

We should build up the fire before we go out for more sacrifices.

You consider the fact that the fire has gotten weaker since it was first blazing. The branches you collected have turned to ash, so you decide to get more wood and add it to the fire.

Fire time remaining: 3 hours

After collecting some more large branches to burn, you consider what to do. You are warm by the fire, but you will need to sleep eventually, and the fire may go out while you sleep. You consider the real possibility of freezing to death... how do you plan to solve this dilemma?

Pray to Hecate to bolster your fire with the heat of her torches.

Put lots of wood on the fire, and pile rocks around it. Sleep outside the circle of rocks.

(Whenever something new changes to the character, I boldface it in his sheet.
What is posted generally represents what the character knows. If the character's knowledge of something is vague, then it is represented vaguely.)

Pray to Hecate to bolster your fire with the heat of her torches.

You are afraid of freezing to death, so you beg your divine to shelter you with heat. Your sacrifice must have earned you some favor, because the fire suddenly seemed to blaze much stronger.
(Added fire time +6 hours)

Put lots of wood on the fire, and pile rocks around it. Sleep outside the circle of rocks.

Before you decide to sleep for the night, you gather some final amounts of wood to bolster the flame, and then begin to lay beside it. The fire, however, scares you as well, and   you think on how to solve this dilemma. You seen some small stones nearby, and then some larger ones embedded in the ground. You experiment, first with the stones to see if they will burn. When they don't, you place a ring of stones around the fire and sleep near to it.
(Fire time added +3hrs)
(Fire upgrade: Safety first!)
(1x short stick added to inventory)
(4x small stones added to inventory- inventory full)

You also tried to pull the larger rocks from their embedded spot in the ground, but they wouldn't budge. No matter, however, since it would seem they were way too large for a ring around the fire.

Fire:
12 hours remaining
Chance of causing a large scale fire: Low
Warmth rating: 10/10

You were sleeping rather soundly, when suddenly you awake. You look in the sky, and the moon is still present, though it has changed position. You're not sure, however, if it's gotten higher or lower. You were awoken, however, by some strange sounds... looking around, you hear a guttural sound, you think an animal, and you see some pairs of yellow eyes looking at you from the darkness, reflecting light from the fire.

Yell loudly and stomp our feet. Grab a burning brand from the fire and wave it around while loudly beseeching the God-Emperor to exterminate all heretics.
Seriously, just scaring them off is the best option, and most animals fear fire and loud noises.

Better just scream incoherently. Making demands of very real gods rarely ends well.

Beseeching, not demanding. Besides, waving fire around and shouting angrily at non-humans is practically the textbook worship option for GEoM.
We should probably check if we're human first, though.

+1 to screaming at the creatures while waving fire, and if everyone else wants to blaspheme while we do so, I won't stop them.

You grab a stick from the fire and wave it around while stomping your feet and loudly begging your god to destroy your assailants.
(r1:4+1)
(r2:4)
You succeed in scaring the animals away; however one remains, and seeing that you are likely not to do anything but hoot and holler, not attack, he grows a little fearless, and won't be scared away so easily.

Fortunately, you are nimble and see the leap coming, and manage to jump to the side, with him missing you entirely.
