Gah! Double post.

In the wilderness? How What are you going to use? Wood?

[Frelock]

If this was the real world, then would would work...to a degree.  Everything floats on lava (it has the density of rock, after all); it's just a matter of how long it takes for the stuff to burn.  You get a nice bottom of ash on the wood which won't burn, then the only things that will burn are the open sides.  If you get across quickly enough, a wooden bridge would work.  There's also the fact that slow-moving lava is covered with a thin shell of rock, so as long as you don't puncture it, it's just really hot.

If this is also the real world you'd die the near instant you are several feet within said lava.

Depends on the lava

[Biag]

Oh hell! I kept refreshing the page every now and then and being like "ARGH WHY HASN'T QUIP POSTED YET" and I just now realized that there's a second page. *facepalm*

Turn 1

Klack (Flintus10)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Find where the lava is going to be and get away from it as fast as possible,

[2] You decide, with your genius powers, that the lava will soon be upwards from where it currently is. You attempt to run up, but it doesn't work.

Urist (JacenHanLovesLegos)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Build a lava-proof boat.

[1] Oh dear. Is that a boat? What's the definition of "boat" anyway? Maybe you could call it modern art, but I don't think that'll float. Or resist lava. Also, you used all the wood from the huts; the village is gone.

Item Gained: Massive Abstract Sculpture (+1 to impress arty types, anyone wearing a beret)

Jfrible (NewsMuffin)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Pack my things and try to build something useful in a short amount of time.

[5] You pack your things, stand back, and admire your handiwork. That's some damn fine packing there. You also manage to produce a [roll for Useful Item:4] Flint and Steel. You quickly stuff it into your loincloth to hide it from Brob.

Item Gained: Flint and Steel (+1 to starting fires, wilderness survival)

Twi'lek (Frelock)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Look for some sort of passage through the lava, or anything that could be used as a boat.

[1] Hey! That thing Urist made could work... maybe you should try floating it across! Who needs to walk when you can float?

Delusion Gained: Sculptures are Methods of Transportation (permanent)

Derefi (Humaan)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Use Logic to figure a way out.

[3+1] Using your incredible powers of Logic, you deduce that there's one last little isthmus that can take you away from the lava, as long as you don't trip or something.

Brob (quip)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Pick up anything usefull in making fires E.T.C.And then look for lava-proof materials/ help make lava proof boat. Also burn that note, they spelt my name wrong. 

[2] You carefully construct a boat of wood. Your Firebug instinct tells you that it will be safe for a short trip across the lava, owing to the ash on the bottom (SCIENCE! Thanks guys). You throw the note into the lava in celebration. Unfortunately, as it burns, sparks fly up and ignite your boat. All your hard work is ruined.

The General State Of Things.

You're on a hill. The huts are gone. The note is burnt. You have 1 sculpture, 1 flint and steel, and 1 way to get away from the lava. Derefi's Logic deduces (yes I will be using that word every time) that the hill (and your way out) will be submerged at the end of Turn 3.

Feel free to read other people's spoilers, that's just to save space.

[quip]

Shoot, this looks like a short RTD
Um...
Try to work out how far across the lava is and hastily dig a trench with my hands around the edge of the hill to try and slow the lava sort of like
           ___k____
~~~~~|          |~~~~~~~~~
Try to do as below (see next post) but using the abstract artwork (which I shall atempt to steal) as a stepping stone/bridge (if I can get it)(
Yeah.... we're dead, but atleast we did some art.
And I ruined my our only likely chance of escape after one turn YAY!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to die this turn I just know it...
I also don't think I'm going to last long after the art burns but if I do I promise to try to dig a channel for the Lava to run through to avoid killing you and if you all die but I somehow survive to burn down a village in your honour.

[Frelock]

There is an isthmus, you know...

Run across the isthmus, without tripping

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Run across the isthmus.

[NewsMuffin]

Run across the isthmus with my mastercraft packing.

[quip]

Run across the isthmus with my mastercraft packing.

Wait... You're keeping it? Shoot now I have to run across like everyone else.
Also, it appears that if this plan is refused (I.E. You decide against trying to run on lava/you try to run over the lava and fall in and die) most of us have either wasted a turn/ got horrifically burned for nothing...
Ah well. Burned to death is how Brob would want to go...
Man I'm pessimistic.

[NewsMuffin]

Well, my packing was rather superb, so yes, I would like to keep it. Get running.

Still waiting on a couple people, so no turn yet. But 1) you do know that there's, like a strip of land? And 2) I'm not gonna kill anyone on turn 2 unless they do something that's obviously an awful, awful idea. Someone might lose a foot, but...

Also, Quip- could you clarify what your action is? I'm not really sure what you're trying to do... as near as I can tell, you want to try to float across the lava on an abstract sculpture.

[quip]

While yes that would be awsome my plan was to try to run across the lava but given vairous factors that have now gone into play...
Try to set up a date with the lava, while using various objects to make temporary stepping stones as I cross it
What? I'm playing a pyromaniac whose just woken up to find he's surrounded by a firery ring o' death. Trying date it would be the next logical step.
