Sorry for the late post.
I'll create a wooden throwing spear from a stick.
[3+1] Your engineering classes rarely included throwing spears, but you have a ready source of wood, and tools. You try to ignore the giant bellowing menace not too many yars away from yourself, and set to work. Using what you have gathered, you trim down a good, hearty stick and start sharpening the end. Adding in a bit of fire-hardening, you stand up and face the threat, a pointy stick that could concievably be thrown in your hand. You feel like a real aboriginie.
Gained: Pointy Aerodynamic Stick.
Gained: Dabbling Ranged Weaponsmithing (1/2) Exp Check the med-kit Kenton put away for anything that can help my injuries.
[3+1-1] You see the giant half-gorilla/Half-Human thing that has appeared, and you almost crap yourself. Realizing that you REALLY don't feel like dealing with this crap, you make for the Medikit, and snatch it up, hoping that Kenton won't mind. You see him making for the gorilla-thing and decide he probably won't. Unfortunately you're pretty distracted by the whole 'WH+TF is taht thing Oh God I'm gonna die' thing, and only manage to find some Asprin. You down a handful, figuring you'll need it, and put the kit away.
Healed!THUNDER SPEAR THE MONSTERS ASS AND DO FINISHER COMBO MOVE UP UP RIGHT DOWN
[5+1] You see the gorilla thing and know what you must do. ATTACK! You charge the creature with your new shock spear, leveling it like a lance. Fortunately, it looks like it's distracted by Jess still, and it leaves its belly unprotected. You ram the spear home! [1+1] The small knife bounces uselesly against the creature's hide, sparking loudly! The hastily-constrcuted electrified polearm holds todgether, but the crackling noise is quite ominious. [1] Your hand slips on the hilt, and moves to the shaft, grounding you! [3+1] Fortunately, the inculation you prepared just moments before endables you to avoid getting the shock of a lifetime. You definately have the things attention, now.
Shoot monster with the shock pistol, hopefully before Kenton starts riding it.
[4] You spin as you see Jets charge the thing with his crackling electric spear. You see him stop dead in front of it, trying not to zap the hell out of himself. Annoyed, you bring out the shock pistol and level it at the beast. Squeezing the trigger, you send a dart flying through the air into its body. [1] Unfortunately, the only thing the shock seems to do is piss it off even more. Uh Oh.
Gained: Shock Pistol Expertise. (1/2) Exp Ride monster like a mechanical bull. Then shoot it in the back of the head.
[4] Deciding that jumping on the back of a giant gorilla/human thing is the best posisble course of action, common sense be damned, you take the oppertunity to run behind the beast and jump on its back, climbing quickly, using hndfuls of its fur to get to its shoulders. "Yeeeee Hawwwww!" You cry, pretending like you have a cowboy hat, as the beast surges under you. You decide to whip out your pistol and show this thing what its brains look like. [5] You pull out your pistol and put it to the back of the beasts head, right where the skull meets the spinal cord. (
+1 Damage bonus) [2+1] You pull the trigger and fire, just as the beast grunts and moves. The heavy caliber round explodes through the muscles of its neck, but doesn't quite blow it's head off like you had planned.
(Auto) Make a club out of a branch
[4] You run to the pile of wood and find a big, thick, heavy branch that looks very promising as a club. You strip off smaller limbs and cleaves, and raise it, the dense wood feeling natural in your hand. You strip the bark off and turn atround, facing the creature three of your compatriots are already attacking, confident you can now help.
Meticulously gather blood back.
[2] You start trying to gather up the blood you had collected before, ignroing the rapaging battle. You must have your blood. Your precious, precious blood. Unfortunately, having been flung about the surrounding plants, it has dried quickly, and you can't collect anything of significance.

[6]
[2] Ignoring the mostly ineffectual attacks of those plauging it so far, the creature bounds deeper in towards the pod, carrying Kenton with it, the smell of fresh blood driving it insane. It brings down a giant fist, intending to smash Kat flat, and the ground shakes with a 'BOOM' as the fist connects with the earth, missing Kat by inches.
You've crash-landed somewhere in the Jungle. The plants are odd, the colors are...strange. There's no animals around that you can see; they were probably frightened off by the giant hunk of metal crashing through the trees and splintering them like they were toothpicks.
Observations: [3] Lots of alien Jungle all around, a huge freaking green gorilla/human thing in the middle of the clearing. All other animal noises have gone quiet.
