I was inspired by the current game of Tacticus going on, and decided that I would start a chain story. I will start the story out, and anyone may continue the story as long as they follow the rules laid out here.
You MUST leave your post open ended, so that someone else can continue it.
Your post must be under 100 words.

Snoopicus starts out this story stark naked, with only one piece of equipment. "The Ham Sandwich of Life of Death". Its abilities remain mostly unknown, but there are several rules which govern its use/existance.
1) The sandwich may never directly harm or lead to the direct harm/death of its possessor. The exception of this rule is laid out in rule number 5.
2) The sandwich will never be made of anything but ham. To suggest otherwise, as in "Hey, is that a Tuna sandwich!?" will result in immediate death.
3) Rule 2 is superceeded by rule number 1.
4) Any creature or animal who intends to harm the bearer of the sandwich will be immediately overcome with a complete and unwavering desire to POSSESS the sandwich, and will attempt to do so by any means necessary (without damaging the sandwich of course).
5) The sandwich prefers to stay with its current owner (It trusts who it knows) but in order to prevent itself from being eaten, whenever the current owner attempts to eat the sandwich, they will immediately encounter a situation which requires them to divert their attention away from the sandwich. These situations must NOT be instantly fatal. The bearer must always have a chance to make it out of the situation alive (if it is dangerous), no matter how remote.
