[Elvish Miner]

After floating on an inflatable raft for two days, you and your fellow castaways have ended up on a deserted beach. With no food, no water, and no idea where the hell you are, you only know one thing: somehow, you have to survive.

Spoiler: what is this? (click to show/hide)

This will be a three person survival adventure using a slightly modified RTD ruleset. 1s and 6s will be much less common, and thus will have much greater consequences. Every action you take will use one of six attributes, which you will have varying grades of proficiencies with. They are below average (0), average (1), and above average (2).

Spoiler: attributes (click to show/hide)

]The six attributes are categorized as either Physical or Mental. They are:

Physical
-Strength: Damage, labor, carrying capacity
-Stamina: Health, labor, and physical endurance
-Agility: Accuracy, dodging, and movement

Mental
-Intelligence: Research, crafting, and applied knowledge
-Willpower: Intuition, ingenuity, and mental fortitude
-Charisma: Dealing with others

Spoiler: how do I get in on this? (click to show/hide)

To start off, either put one point into all six attributes, or two points in one group and zero in the other. After that, you may choose to make one modification if you wish, by subtracting one point from one attribute and putting it in another. You cannot go below zero or above two, but otherwise, it's free game.

Close, but you can only make one adjustment. You are allowed to move a point from a physical attribute to a mental one and vise versa, if that helps.

[Glass]

Ah, whoops. I thought it was you can only adjust it once after you make the character. Sorry.

And so are you. Turn one is coming up

[Elvish Miner]

((Sorry, forgot that I actually have to submit the day 1 post, not just write it))

Turn 1.0
Day 1: 0700

The three of you drag your raft up onto the beach. Various pieces of wood and rocks are scattered along the shore, as well as the occasional crab. Judging from the sun's position, you can see more beach to the south, and some grasslands to the east and southeast. The ground level rises in all three directions.

Spoiler: mechanics (click to show/hide)

Turns - one turn is a full hour, however if everyone's actions take less than an hour, the turn will be divided into sub-turns (10 minute minimum).

Travel - moving between blocks takes an average of 10 minutes, or a full sub-turn.

Hunger, thirst, and fatigue - These will decrease over time. Thirst drops by 1 point every hour, hunger and fatigue drops by 1 point every two hours. Once a stat falls below 1, you will have penalties to all rolls, and at -10, you will die.

Health - Increases by 1 every two hours (up to max) as long as all stats are above 6.

Free-actions - Most basic actions, like eating a candy bar, will not take up any time, and will not require a roll (I'll assume you can all eat without choking to death)

Spoiler: tips (click to show/hide)

Specify if and which tool you would like to use when performing an action. While it won't give you any advantage in rolls, it will help me determine what materials you get.

[Glass]

Acquire some of the rocks and wood, as well as any flexible materials around (seaweed, vines, etc.) for later.

Try to catch a few crabs, by digging a hole and then steering them to it by blocking their way with sticks until they reach the hole.

[Coolrune206]

Jeff drags the raft a bit further up, then begins to dig away the sand directly underneath it, creating a temporary shelter and using the raft as the roof.

[mastahcheese]

while these losers scour the beach, head southeast in search of fresh water

[Elvish Miner]

Turn 1.1
Day 1: 0730
(4) Jeremy searches the beach and finds a bundle of sticks, a handful of pebbles, and seaweed.(5) He then digs a hole, and makes a path using the sticks for the crabs to fall into it. While the contraption works so well that it is pretty much autonomous, the crabs will scurry away unless they are contained and/or killed.

Jeremy received handful of pebbles and seaweed.

(2) Despite his average strength, the raft is rather heavy, and Jeff gets it caught on some debris. (4) Managing to clear it, he finishes moving the raft into a spot away from the tide and starts digging. (3) It is hard work, and he only manages to partially complete the makeshift home.

Choosing to search for water over playing with crabs or rafts, Jacob travels southeast. (3) The hot sand and incline make progress slow, but he eventually manages to get there. (4) Once he reaches the grassland, he sees the occasional small game darting through the grass, and is able to hear the sound of running water to the east. Besides what looks to be a forest to the southeast, he is surrounded by either grassland or sand. (I'll have a map up soon).

[Coolrune206]

Jeff finishes digging out the shelter, piling the sand outside. He will have use for it in a moment.

[Glass]

Kill the first three crabs that fall in the pit, and bring them over to the raft-hut. Also, help out with the shelter.
