"If the ship's buried, then it can't leave, not by normal means at least. We've gotten this far, we have no reason not to sally forth into the great unknown!"

There's no way we're reaching a consensus, so...


Go through the door!

(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

"Wait. What's behind me? Upon seeing the open habitation area, "Oh. OK."

Head into the habitation area.

You make your way inside the halls, eventually coming across an oddity: an open door in the trunk of a tree (growing indoors, mind you). The door itself contains a tunnel that glows an eerie white.

And someone pushes you in. From behind.

Suddenly, you are falling sideways. The floor moves by at breakneck speed, and by the time you can react you see a blinding light, and then nothing at all for a few moments. You find yourself lying on a beach, in a land far, far away from the ship. There also seems to be a doorway back into the ship a few feet away, through which an intrepid explorer emerges, surrounded by hats.

"That certainly is interesting. To bad theres no way to bring a charm back to my planet, but it's existence is one of the many wonders we've discovered past the black hole!"

"There can only be more in this new world!"


Enter the tree door to the world outside.

On the other side, you find yourself on a beach. Gentle waves from a dark ocean wet the mud, and dark stormclouds loom above the horizon. This is by far the most "planetary" view you've had in a while, not counting virtual experiences onboard the transport. Beside you is a man lying in the mud, with one seriously damaged-looking eye and terrifyingly ingrown nails.

You find a rowboat with roughly hewn oars, beached in the water and tied to a stake by a rope made of transparent fiber. There is a stained wooden tray filled with metal hooks and a fishing rod with no reel, just a fiber string attached to one end. There are also four spears in the boat, an analogue clock made from pewter, and a note which says the following:


...and somehow, you are able to read it.

Reminder to self: Blue lights home. Yellow lights cave to town. Care when holding purple fish, poison disrupts sight, kills in one day without doctor.

You see the crests of trees just over the horizon on the side opposite the water. There is a range of black, craggy mountains to the left, surrounded by thunderclouds, and a constant wind blowing to the right. The water is slowly flowing toward the right, and you occasionally spot pieces of trash... wooded tool handles, buckets, barrels... floating in the water.

Turn 16

Do we see yellow lights?

They don't. [3/6] You don't see them either, even with your genetically-modified vision.

If it's relevant in any way, the horizon is glowing white over the treetops.

Weeeeeiiird.

Investigate the man, and heal him if it is necessary.

You investigate him, and he angrily responds: "Can't a guy stow away in peace? Why you gotta push me, man?"
(You're interacting with another player now)

Yin-xi tries to fish something of interest from the water using telekinesis

[5/6, 3] You curl your arm in the retract motion, and sure enough it starts pulling water your way. The water itself, pulled by gravity, soon ebbs out of the attraction cone, leaving only solid objects which slide over the mud and reveal themselves through the surface of the water.

You find seaweed of a strange alien type. It is fungal in structure, having wide platforms flush with the water held on narrow stems. It looks photosynthetic based on that, but the color is black.

There are also a few forearm-sized fish, some of which escape the attractor cone while others end up beached. One of the beached fish explodes in a puff of silvery dust, leaving behind a blue gem, perfectly round like a pearl. The gem lights up when it rolls onto the alien seaweed. Blue!

((No response from HEN or Wunderkatze))
