[Mr.Person]

At first, I'd probably respond defensively, but eventually realize that, hey, this guy may of saved my life. Besides, I ain't got any food or water and I can't walk. Mention the stream I was at earlier. I'd also mention the dead rats up ahead, although they have been dead for awhile now. Thank my newfound buddy, although keep in mind my guy is neither eloquent nor particularly nice. Anyways, even though the bleeding stopped, it didn't heal all that much overnight. I suppose I could try my hand at learning healing magic too, although I'm worried about the consequences of failure and the fact I'm literally starving.

I guess I could probably stick with mundane healing for now, although there's not much left to do in that regard. I suppose I should probably meditate, it can't hurt, right?

Name: Creeper
Start Area: South

Sneakily, check the herbs around me to find something useful.

[Anti-Paragon]

Looks like Cius gets the cookie bread loaf and I'm heading towards that stream. I may as well look for a stick or piece of wood large enough to be used as a splint or walking stick, too.

Also! Before I leave the safety of the Dais area, I make sure that dang high-flying bird isn't looking for prey. If it is, I'm waiting a little until I am out of its viewing range, then quickly heading out.

[Dwarmin]

Yes, I suspect we haven't seen the last of that bird...
I'm guessing it will either kill all of us, or someone will end up saddling it and riding it out of here.

I'm thinking both.

[zchris13]

Ouch. Doing okay to dead in a single turn. Ouch.

[major_sephiroth]

Are you referencing something there zchris?

(Because I totally thought of it.)

[zchris13]

Nope. Great minds think alike and all that.

Care to share?

[major_sephiroth]

The whole Zako and Running Man RTD fiasco.

[Dwarmin]

Ouch. Doing okay to dead in a single turn. Ouch.

Too bad you couldn't post that last time where you could of found shelter for the night. It was the only thing that couldn't have missed, really...

You did kick a zombie bear in the face, though. Epic!

[Paulus Fahlstrom]

(Heh. Well, I don't know that I'd consider a broken and mangled arm and being entirely weaponless in the middle of a Terrifying/Wilderness area as okay, but I understand your points. Night turns are like normal turns on overdrive. You don't prepare and bad stuff can happen. You  do prepare and bad stuff can happen too, but you might be more likely to survive. Of course, where you sleep plays a huge role in this. Wild beasts and most undead can't open doors or cross rope bridges. Acile did roll terribly for the random encounter too, which didn't help. Had he made it into the tree he'd likely have survived.

Anyways, I'll have Day 3, Turn 1 up and running here a little later.)

[major_sephiroth]

Looking at the scores, apparently I got 25 points for kicking the bear. Awesome. Can I make a new person to get on the waiting list? If so I'll make one a while later.

Also, hell yes for going down fighting!

[Paulus Fahlstrom]

Day 3, Turn 1: Order: Mr. Person (5!), Dwarmin (3!,5!), Weedo su (2!), Creeper (3!,6!); New order: Mr. Person, Creeper, Dwarmin, Weedo su

Mr. Person-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You awake and surprisingly it's light outside. Your legs still hurt badly and you're so hungry you're eyeing the rags you're wearing. Was that a cockroach that just scurried by? Mmmmm.... You think momentarily of the demon rats still lying below but the thought of eating meat fills you with nausea. You'd do it if you had to to avoid starvation, but you can't recall the last time you ate so much as a strip of jerky. Then your eyes open. (Observation check:4!) You realize you're back in the upper room and there's another human there that is just waking up. Quick! Kill him! Oh wait, he's probably the one that brought you here. Lucky you. You see your previous bed lying undisturbed on the dais in the room and just looking at it makes your head swim. You tell Weedo su, for that appears to be his name, about your discovery of the stream to the south-westish direction. As for food you mention the rats but he gets a look of equal disgust. You think briefly of your mushroom soup incident and decide not to mention that for now. He gives you half a loaf of bread before taking your empty waterskin and leaving.

You then lie back down to rest and meditate. (Meditation:5!-1) You easily slip into a meditative trance and soon your pains are seemingly gone. You sit, crosslegged on a white sand ground that seems to stretch on forever in all directions. (You'll need to specify what you'd like to meditate on. +1 bonus for meditative trance)

(+1 Meditation exp.)

Recovery roll:5!-1 You are disconnected from your body at the moment.

Creeper-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Observation check:3!) You can't help but notice that as you approach the fortress from the south it has a rather unhealthy feel about it. You don't see any entrances from this direction though.
 
You try to remain hidden as you go about inspecting the plants in the area. (Stealth:5!) (Herbalism:5!) You're pretty sure you're practically invisible among the rocks and boulders. Here in the foothills south of the fortress there is a considerable amount of stone but very little actual plant growth. You do, however, recognize a smallish black-leaved plant that has very tiny white berries on it. Who wouldn't? It's Baneberry and the juice from the berries is known to be a mild poison, draining the strength from it's victims. (+1 to harvest bonus for 3 turns)

(+2 stealth exp., +2 Herbalism exp.)

Dwarmin-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Observation check:6!,1!) You  head out carefully making sure that there is no danger. You don't believe you see any and head out to the lake. You take a deep drink from it before you stir up the sediment doing other things and fill your waterskin. The water is very cold but there is no ice on it this morning and you both clean yourself and the used bandage. You feel cold quickly but you're now clean.

You sit yourself down next to the lake and go about examining the items you've acquired. (Appraisal checks based on list you provided:2!,2!,(6!,4!),1!,3!,1!,1!,(6!,2!). As near as you can tell the items are all of decent quality. You're not completely sure how much they'd be worth. The crown is truly magnificent but you've no idea of it's true value. The boat looks to be of elvish make but again you're not sure. The earring is of exceptional quality and if you had the other one you estimate it would be worth roughly 120 dwarven ingots (di, pronounced dee now). With only one it might be worth 50. The ring you have no idea how much it might be worth. The bolts themselves are of good quality, though they appear old. The bone isn't as good as it once was so they might be worth about 2 di each. The one with gems is another matter and you've no idea how much to appraise it at. They're all about the same quality though somewhat aged. The mugs you examine carefully and realize that one of them is truly masterful. The other is not as good so it'd be hard to say, but the one you do have is easily worth 150 di and could be very useful as a mortar. (You cannot attempt to appraise the other items again until you're at least a normal level appraiser)

You search carefully for a place to hide your newly gotten loot and realize that in the quarry itself may be the best place. There is still so much rock there that you could easily hide all your newly acquired treasures under a small pile of stone. You pick some large leaves that you can use to separate components though they'll not be the best pouches with wear and return to the quarry to hide your loot. You think the crown might help provide defense against some attacks but it would be easy to dislodge.

(Action:1!) You forget entirely about getting firewood in your zeal to make yourself a stash.
(Make stash:5!) Your stash is very well hid. (+2 bonus to concealment)

(+1 Observation exp., +3 Appraisal exp., Created Stash)

Weedo su-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Observation check:2!) You begin your morning ritual of stretches (Action:2!) and find yourself so stiff you think you've got a crick in your neck. Ouch. You realize eventually that the other human is awake and you converse for a little while. He tells you about the stream to the south but you recall seeing several lakes much closer on your way in anyways. You hand him your half-loaf of bread.

(Action:1!) You easily manage to find the lakes but as you go to fill up your waterskin you sink up to your knees in squelchy mud. You panic for a second as you believe you're continuing to sink! This must be quicksand! You freak out and flail about wildly, even landing on your face in the mud before managing to get yourself erect again. It's only then that you realize that it is, in fact, just mud. You're filthy now and decide to make your way to another lake to fill the waterskins, and manage to find one with firmer footing. You take a drink and fill your waterskins after your abysmal ordeal. No one ever told you that getting water was this hard.

You look around and realize that there are, it being a swamp, plenty of plants around. Some of which should be edible, even if they aren't particularly palatable. You find a reasonably sturdy stick you could use as a walking stick or a splint, though the other human had already splinted his leg.

(You are filthy)

Sephiroth, feel free to make another character. I'll put you back up on the list.

[Dwarmin]

Hey Paul, i'm thinking of making some Gnomeblight from the Kobold Bulb I collected, but...no one knows what Gnomeblight does!

I'll leave it up to you, but what effect do you want to give it? Like bad smell, eye irritation, blood thinner etc? I suggest you Pick 6 to 12 possibilities and let the dice fly lol

At the worst, i could probably sell it as a trade good when I get back home lol

EDIT: Also, how would I go about making my rat into a nice pair of leather moccasins?

Skin, Clean, soak, submerge, dry?

Taking roughly a day or 2 of game time?

[Anti-Paragon]

Well, that was the best timing for a turn of bad rolls, really.
It seems my character has better memory than myself. I don't recall those lakes at all!

Anyway, the turn:

Now that I'm at a lake with solid ground, I take off my cloak and dip a corner into the water and proceed to handwash some of this dirt off. Kinda embarrassing that this happened, but oh well. After taking my time to do that, I go plant hunting. Let's look for some vegitables/ground plants this time. Carrots, potatoes, onions and the like.

Spending the hour food gathering, pretty much.
