   Barton plays with Rex. (play designed to heighten Rex's track by smell ability)
  - he then attempt to find a shovel, failing that.. he makes one out of the best available materials that he can find.
  - takes Rex with him as he walks 400-500 yards out of the village. (if Rex can be trusted to do this w/o running off)
  - Begins to dig a hole 5' x 5' x 6'  (spend 3 hours max) (trying to do this where Barton thinks animals may travel, trying to make a no kill animal trap)
  - grabs 6' long thin sticks on the way back to the village (looking for green/bendy branches)
  - look around the rubble for a section of tarp or semi-clean cloth, clean it at the river. (keep eye open for salvageable wooden animal corral materials)
  - begin to fashion a 'raincatcher' out of thin wooden sticks and if found, tarp/cloth.
  - if there is any time left..  spend it talking to other npc's left in the village.

I need a saw and file in my toolkit too :\
Despite what TF2 would have you believe, you can't build anything by hitting it with a wrench(or hammer). You need to make the pieces first.

Eat breakfast
Search ruins for crafting supplies, as well as anything else that looks useful. Steel is good, though any scrap metal will suffice.(~3 hours)
Fashion a firing mechanism from the scrap, as well as a few gears.
Search surrounding area for decent-quality wood.(~1 hour)
Try to make a crossbow from the mechanism, gears, wood and a trigger.
If time permits, talk to various NPCs to see if they need anything. Unlikely, but work = pay = food.

[Relm]

I get out of bed, I wake my husband up. (He needs a name.  )
I talk to my husband.
I go outside and search for a forest.
If I find a forest I chop down a tree and make boards out of it.
Once I get the boards I bring them back to my house.
Then I search for some firewood.

[Diakron]

[Henry]
Get up off the floor.
Ask Priest about a damage report.
When he's done go search the destroyed buildings for a Smithy, Greet the people and ask how they are along the way.
start teaching the puppy basic commands while I'm walking
Play with puppy to pass any remaining time.

Do i have knowledge of the other players? or if a smithy was here once?

Relm: Name him then

You take your loaf of bread and tear a fourth of it off. After doing so, you sit at your table and eat it while looking out the doorway at the path and the church across it.
 
(6,1)You walk outside and down the path towards the nearest ruin. Right away, you see a sizeable piece of scrap metal sticking out of the ash. The metal is however wedged between two fallen beams and you spend half an hour trying to wedge it free. You manage to do so but you cut your hand through your glove.
 
(3,5)You head eastward to the remains of the smithy and search the debris for the next hour. You find a four small gears in excellent codition along with some scrap metal.
 
(6,5)You head northward towards the old tanning shed. Upon arrival, you find an old tanning rack and salvage some intact wooden beams. After searching for an hour you find an intact wooden jewlery box with a solid gold ring and two low quality rubies.
 
(4,1)After deciding that you have done enough searching, you return hime with your load. You sit at your workbench and quickly fashion a mechanism from the metal and gears. In your haste however you broke one gear and used two others. The entire process took half an hour.
 
(6,6)You then grab the remaining gear, a length of wood, and a modified flint trigger (flint taken out) and place them in front of you. You work quickly and efficiently and when you finish, you have a beautifully made wooden crossbow. You took some time to reinforce it with some scrap metal as well. The entire process took one hour.
 
(5,6) You spend the next hour conversing with some villagers. Barry, the local fisherman tells you that he needs a new fish trap because the raiders stole his last one. He says he can pay in dried fish or gold.

((Since you are new to the village, you have little knowledge of the layout or it's inhabitants.))
 
You converse with the preist about the damage done to the village. He tells you that the northern section was completely decimated but the souhern section where you are suffered only a few casualties. You nod and whistle for the puppy to follow you.
 
(5,5) As you walk, you run into a few villagers who greet you with warmth and inform you that there is a ruined smity eastward along the path. As you walk a woman runs up to you and hands you a loaf of fresh bread in thanks for your heroism. You kindly accept the bread and continue along the path, the puppy bumbling close behind.
 
(4,5) As you arrive at the smithy, you find a discarded hammer in the ashes and promptly pick it up and stow it. You spend the remaining hours hanging around the ruins playing with the puppy and watching it chase squirrels and rats. You teach it the basic commands sit and stay as it appears to be a fast learner.

Barton:

(1,6) You walk over to your dog and nudge him to move so that you can play with him. He growls and turns to face the wall. As he turns however, you spot something shiny underneath him. You grab it and discover that he found a small silver ring. You stow it and walk out the door.
 
(6,1) You head across the path to the ruin and right away, you find a shovel head sticking out of the ash. When you pull it out however, you discover that the shaft has been broken around the halfway point. You shrug and whistle loudly and Rex comes scampering out of the house in your direction.
 
(2,5) You head south into the forest and choose a nice, clear spot. You begin digging a hole but the dirt is soft and loamy. The dirt continuosly falls into the hole as you dig but you manage to keep up with it and make progress on the hole. The task takes you all of three hours and once you decide you've had enough, you step out of the hole. It is a bit smaller than you wanted but it is big enough.
 
(4,4) On your way back to the village, you find the exact branches you were looking for and you gather twelve of them.
 
(6,6) You spend the next hour at the tannery trying to find a decent tarp or cloth. What you find is a fully tanned and waterproofed hide along with some planks from the tanning tub (around five). You clean the hide a bit at the riverdside and bring everything back to your hut.
 
(6,1) You spend the next hour trying to build a raincatcher near your hut. You become frustrated and break five of the sticks but use the remaining seven to build a functional raincatcher.

Terra

You climb out of bed and wake your husband and the two of you spend the next half an hour at the table talking about the state of affairs in the nation. He says he is worried about his sister two towns over and you express your concern for the other villagers north of your section of the village.
 
(6,5 +1) You head outside and to the south, your husband walking with you. The two of you come upon a suitable pine tree and begin to chop it down. It comes down easily after half an hour of chopping and you both begin to strip it of branches for the next half an hour.
 
(1,5 +2) You both begin processing the tree into boards but it's not long until parts of the tree become shredded and chpped due to lazy effort and sloppy work. You do however manage to make six boards after an hour's work.
 
(2,3 +1) After hauling the boards back to the house, you and your husband spend the next three and a half hours trying to find suitable firewood. You do find some but not as much as you had hoped. Thirty pieces of firewood gained.

 You walk out of your hut and to the forest that is just to the south. Once there, you search around and quickly find a sturdy stick and bring it back to your hut.
 
(3,1) You gather your rope, stick, and dagger and attempt to lash them together into a primitive spear. After an hour's work you manage to cut yourself with the dagger and the rope is damaged as well. The spear is complete but not without flaws. (-1 to all spear based actions)
 
(5,4 -2) You make your way to the stream and wade into the water. For the next four hours you attempt to spear fish as they swim by. You manage to catch three trout (.75 kg each). The spear remains intact and you return home with the fish.
 
(1,5 +1)Once you return home, you spend the next hour setting up a firepit and roasting the fish. You accedentally drop one of the trout in the fire and don't realise before it's too late. You do however manage too cook the others nicely and you season them with a bit of salt.

Nice backstory Diakron.

[Fisac]

I walk outside my house an search for dry grass.
I weave the straws on to my hat to make a straw hat (very long straws, covers the face.)
I walk to the middle of the village and sit down to next to a wall and starts to beg and ask for a lumber man.
Daroth: - I need help with rebuilding my family inn, I live in that house behind the burned down inn.

[Yarnspinner]

  - Take a swig from my apple juice, lay out water for Rex.. take Bella and strap four of the five curved wooden planks to her back, along w/ the broken shovel.  Head off east with Bella while telling Rex to 'stay' in the yard.  Get a piece of charcoal from the recent fires, then make a sign out of the the fifth plank that says.. "Watch Out! Do not walk here." with a arrow pointing down. 

  - Talk to the fellow villagers about the 'army guy and the little girl'.  Barton says, "So, is he here to help us? or draft us?" ... "Cause if he thinks he can make me do anythin' right now, besides survive, Im'a gonna brain him with this here rock!" ...  "We.. well, not really.. but still!" Tell them about my animal trap, and not to walk out there.

  - Head out to river to let Bella drink/graze.. than walk back out to my semi-okay animal trap..  use the wood to shore up the sides of the pit (saving any if possible..)  LIGHTLY poke Bella with the knife, catch the LITTLE stream of blood in my cooking pot.. camo the top of the pit..  splash blood on camo.  Plant the sign in a obvious place.

  -Attempt to gather 6' long bendy sticks again during all my daily travels..  or anything else corral related, maybe a little firewood, stashing them on Bella.

  - If at anytime i come across Terra, Barton says.. "Hey, if yas got any extra wooden planks.. lemme know.. I will lend a hand building stuff (time) in exchange for (planks/posts)." ...  "Something tells me that you and your husband are going to be busy."

  - Begin to make a 'cow corral' out of what I am able to scrounge. (any planks left over.. or traded for/found.  If i have no materials for this..  Use bendy sticks (if i found any lol) to fashion a cage.

Questions..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-- Do i have to spend my food/bread rations/time on feeding my pets? If so how long does it take?  I would like to know so i can properly plan wanted vrs. needed actions to keep myself and my 'pets' alive.

-- how far away is the river to the south? do I have to plan time for travel there?

-- do we have 3 'day' turns and one 'night'? or 2 and 2? or?

-- I am in no way trying to complicate the game for you.. just trying to wrap my head around how much detail or how many actions i should post. 

EDIT: In light of my answered questions (below)  I edited my actions.



 
 

[Labs]

Turns go like this: Two six hour turns upon waking up. You begin to feel sleeepy on the third turn and you should only take about 1-2 hours for dinner and bed prep. Once everyone is asleep, there will be one big turn for random events throughout the night for all of the villagers in a given area. You don't need to feed pets as they will hunt/graze on their own. You do however need to give them water. They consume two units per game day.

[Relm]

(I'm going to call my husband Edmund)

I go the put the firewood in the house.
I have lunch or super with my husband. (What time is it?)
Me and Edmund will go to the forest to look for some herbs/food.
Then we go home.
Then I'll pet my horse. (Its best not to bring the horse into a forest.)
(I'm going to call the horse River-shine. Its a silly name I know. )

I'll do all of your rolls now but we are still waiting on Diakron so I won't post them just yet.
 
 
EDIT: Quick modification to the water barrels. Increasing capacity by 5.

(5,2)You nod to the fisherman and agree to make the trap. The fisherman grins and invites you inside for a drink. As you sit at the table, he notices your hand and offers to give you a bit of rum to prevent infection. You ask him for a bandage but he says he has none. You wince as the alcohol is poured over the wound. You tear a piece of your shirt off, wrap it around the wound, and put your glove on over it.
 
(4,4)You head back to your house and look through your cabinet and pantry. In the pantry you find two bottles. One empty, one filled (4/5) with blueberry mead. You also find three clay jars. One empty, one filled (4g) with parsley and one filled (3g) with salt. You search your tool cabinet and find a rusty file and a dull hand saw along with a chipped carving knife.
 
(1,6 +1[workspace/bench]) You grab some steel wire, some scrap metal, and your pliers and begin working on the fishing trap. You attempt to cut metal strips but they end up bent and mangled. You shape them into a cage as best you can but they end up a mess. You use the wire to make a door hatch but it can only open clumsily. By sheer luck you manage to finish the flawed trap after an hour's work.
 
(5,5) You walk outside and into the various ruins searching for salvageable wood. Inside the burnt inn and house you find 4kg of suitable wood. Satisfied, you return to your hut with your wood. This has taken you an hour.
 
(6,6 +1) You sit at your bench and begin to carve some of the wood into bolts. You suceed beautifully and you take a bit of extra time to carve designs and notches into the wood. You use up 2 kg of wood over the course of an hour and suceed in making 18 bolts.
 
You step outside and walk over to the ruins of a house.
 
COMBAT (training):
 
You take aim at a notch on the wall.
 
Training Summary: (2,6) Over the course of two hours, you manage to break only five bolts but you did not gain much experience.

You eat some of the jerky and drink some of your beer. You are no longer hungry or thirsty. You offer the puppy some jerky but it seems full and content after grabbing a mouse and eating it.
 
(1,3) For an hour you search the smithy for a polishing stone but you don't manage to find one. Instead, you find five small tin soldiers. You stow them for safe keeping.
 
You whistle for the puppy and you both head back to the chapel. You get a warm feeling after relaxing in the grass with the puppy all day.
 
Upon arrival, the preist rushes over to you and tells you that a man and his wife were here earlier and that they left a gift (1) but he seems to have misplaced it. He gives you a look of embarassment and says that it will turn up.
 
You ask the preist if anything needs doing and he says that he has been looking to leave the village in hope that he will find better protection in the capitol. He says there is nothing left here for him and that his sister and nephew were killed in the raid. He asks you for help with the journey. He want's to hire you as an escort and he says that you will be paid when you both arrive. As you consider it, he says that he will leave in a couple of days, with or without you.
 
You spend the rest of the time searching for the gift (1) which you do not find and relaxing with the puppy, teaching it tricks.
 
(6,4) The puppy easily learns the roll over command, shake, and sit. You begin to wonder if it is smarter than the average dog.

You take a swig of juice and you give Rex and Bella drinks from the barrel. Rex catches a few rats while Bella grazes. You do not have a suitable cord to lash the boards onto Bella but you take one with you anyway.
 
(4,4) You walk over to the ruins and make a sign from the wood with the charcoal. It is legible and sturdy. This has taken you half an hour.
 
You then talk to the villagers and find out that there is a war hero in the village and that he was responsible for the southern part being saved. You tell them about your trap and go on your way.
 
You walk back to your trap and place the sign down. You then make a few trips back and forth from your hut, hauling the boards. This takes half an hour.
 
(2,2) You attempt to shore up the sides of the pit with the wood but you only collapse a bit of dirt into it and break one of the boards. You curse your luck and climb out of the hole. You wasted an hour.
 
(2,6) You approach bella with the knife and pot, making her a bit nervous. You quickly poke her and she cries out in pain and kicks, barely missing your head. You do manage to collect a bit of blood but not much.
 
While in the woods you run into Terra and her husband. They say they have been out here for a while. You offer your service and they say they will get back to you.
 
(5,5) You manage to find some suitable sticks and brush, which you cover the pit with. The pit is covered nicely. You spatter the blood on the camo and move the sign to a better position. You have worked for an hour.
 
(2,1) Throughout the day you were looking for sticks and firewood but you only found five pieces of firewood.
 
You carry the remaining planks home and put them inside along with the firewood. You feel discontented and a bit frustrated from the work.
 
(4,4) You begin to shape and break the planks into a makeshift cage. After an hour of work, you have a well made cage that will hold a small sized animal.
 
You drop your rocks and utensils on the ground in your hut and relax next to Rex.

You talk to Edmund and he agrees to go with you into the forest. You both step outside and walk southward a ways.
 
(6,6 +1) You both spend four hours in the forest searching for herbs and other foods. After the time spent, you both return to the edge of the forest and look at what you gathered. You manage to identify a few of them but you can't identify all of the mushrooms. Edible mushrooms (7), unidentified mushrooms A (4), unidentified mushrooms B (2), wild parsley (4 sprigs), nettles (3), blueberries (.5 kg), a rusty iron nasal helmet, a rusty iron shortsword. You are ecstatic over the finds.
 
Near the edge of the forest, you run into Barton who offers his services to you. You tell him that you will get back to him.
 
On your way home you meet Daroth who asks you for help with rebuilding his inn. You say you will consider it.
 
You and your husband make your way back home and store the items in the pantry. You place the helmet and sword underneath the bed.
