Sure. In that case, could I change my skill to brawling?

[Wirevix]

Sure thing.

[Dwarmin]

Jacen...I suggest +1 Alligator Wrestling (still useful against non-alligators)

[SeriousConcentrate]

Applications still open? If so...

And we're off!

CHAPTER 1 - ENTERING THE CAVERN

After a long, hot, humid, sweaty trek through the jungle, you have arrived at your destination. You've heard the locals call this place something like "Head of the dragon," and you can see why, for the cavern opens up out of a hill like a great toothy maw.  Your intrepid team leader says, "It's hard to believe we didn't find this place before. But we have now!" He turns to his group, smiling broad. "Everyone ready to go in?!"

Begin!

[Dwarmin]

Sure, sure...Head of the dragon? Sounds promising! Guided tours and merchandising rights...

Action: Sally follows the guide into the cave.

*SNAP*
This is a picture of the "Head of the Dragon", the entrance to the cavern. Ominous darkness stretches ahead into the entrance, wherein juts toothsome rocks.

Action : Joe follows the guide through the cave, ready to defend the expedition.
Seems like a nice place... Kinda creepy though.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Hmm. I'd should've thought to bring a flashlight...
Action: Trent looks for wood and local fauna that will both burn easily and for a long time to fashion a torch from.

[Ochita]

Action: John Goes into the cave, examining the rocks.

[Jay Kayell]

Jones heads into the cave, keeping an eye out for any traps or other dangers that might endanger the group.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Hmm. I'd should've thought to bring a flashlight...

Everyone has this along with the stuff they chose :
Wrist-worn mini-GPS which can locate other wrist-worn mini-GPSes. Basic spelunking gear (length of rope, helmet with light, high-grip boots, etc.)  Basic rations (Bottled water and simple nonperishable packaged foods.) Two-way radio. Flares.

[Dwarmin]

"Well, seeing as you forgot yours Trent, you should be glad I brought an extra." Sally says condescendingly, tossing him the spare flashlight underhanded.

(I slept until 3:40 in the afternoon.  Maaaaaan.)

Results - Turn 1:

Spoiler: Intrepid Team Leader (click to show/hide)

Your intrepid team leader heads into the cavern, without incident and full of enthusiasm, flicking his flashlight on.

Spoiler: Sally (click to show/hide)

Roll: 1
You start after the intrepid team leader in such a hurry that your foot hits an unfortunately smooth and slippery patch of wet stone.
Roll to recover: 1 (ouch)
You face-plant straight onto the stone with an utter lack of grace.  Your rose-tinted glasses take the brunt of the blow.
Roll for damages: 4
You manage to not have your face lacerated by the cut glasses, but the lenses are toast.  The frame is bent but not destroyed.

Spoiler: Joe (click to show/hide)

Roll: 5
You follow after the intrepid team leader and Sally, missing the treacherous wet patch that makes her fall on her face, and enter the cavern without incident.

Spoiler: Trent (click to show/hide)

Roll: 4
You start towards the jungle once more, entirely forgetting the helmet-mounted flashlight you were given as part of your spelunking gear. You manage to find and break off a piece of less-soggy wood, but there are no fauna around which would agree to let you burn them without more fight than it's probably worth.

Spoiler: John (click to show/hide)

Roll: 1
You head on in to the cave, your attention focused on the fascinating texture of the rocks--and then that texture gets a whole lot closer when, just like unfortunate Sally, your foot hits that smooth and slippery patch.
Roll to recover: 6
In a flash of reflexes too quick to think, you turn your fall into a roll, tucking your head down and springing back up off the ground, landing on your feet once more, unharmed.

Spoiler: Jones (click to show/hide)

Roll: 5
You follow the group into the cavern.  Observantly, you take close note of how slippery the floor is, and avoid any treacherous patches.  So far, the dangers you can see are natural sorts--slippery floors, low-hanging sections of ceiling, shadowy dips in the rock.

Turn on helmet flashlight when it gets too dark. (If what I said is considered minor enough) Proceed into cavern with Intrepid Team Leader.
