The sun creeps toward the treeline as the group gathers and makes plans for nightfall. There is a warm breeze blowing through the clearing, and the sound of birds in the trees seems to come from everywhere above you. Scriver and Kitsunin decide to find someplace to hunker down (seperately, I'm going to try to keep this family friendly, for the most part,) and rest until they are told to take up watch for the night. They happily eat some of the tasty, peach colored, apple looking things that Barbar found, and have a bottle of water apiece. [ They then find a place that looks clear of insects and is dark, and lay down to sleep. The sound from the waterfall is soothing, and they fall asleep quickly, albeit not comfortably.

[-2 bottles of water from minifridge.]

Japa and Diakron soon emerge from the rainforest, Japa telling Diakron about a huge tree that he found. They both stop in their tracks upon entering the clearing, and marvel at the waterfall and lake. They then join the group preparing to make tools. adwarf sharpens his Huntin' Stick to a mostly pointy end, and then hands it to Tack, to help him explore the cave. He then sets about gathering stuff from the current locale, and finds a great deal more than he was anticipating. AntiAntiMatter busies himself by hiding the supplies in a manner that will keep animals (and potentially anything else) out of them, except for the group. At this point, Tack and Barbarossa head toward the cave, before it gets too dark.

[AntiAntiMatter +0.2 Wilderness Survival]
[adwarf, -1 Huntin' Stick, +.1 Foraging, +1 unit (night's worth) firewood, +15 long thorns, +8 softball sized stones, +4 palm sized sharp flaky stones, +3 long sticks, +8 thin vines]

adwarf drops his haul off near AAM's stockpile, and many folks begin to work. Sonerohi besets the pile like a man possessed, taking one of the long sticks, two of the thin vines, and a sharp, flaky stone. He then cheerily sits down in a shorter patch of grass and begins making what quickly turns into a long bow. Diakron and lordnincompoop set on the pile and do their best to work, but the materials just don't seem to want to work with them. They try to make tools, but wind up with mostly useless pieces of rock and wood. Japa organizes the materials into an easy to "read" format so that Strife will be able to tally up their resources easily when he gets back.

[sonerohi: -1 long stick, -2 vines, +1 bow, + .1 Woodwork]
[Diakron: -2 softball sized stones]
[lordnincompoop: -1 long stick, -1 softball sized stone]
[Japa: +1 success on Attentiveness]

Night will fall soon.

So... are we going to get PM's... or did we use up a turn getting ready to have a look in the cave?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

"We found a weird cave that somehow had no stalactites or stalagmites, though there was running water. In the back we found a boarded up doorway with some symbols on it. They reminded me of Kanji, so we could be anywhere near Eastern Asia. China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and a few other countries all use the characters, though they pronounce them differently. I have no idea what they mean, though."

"Uhh..... not really. I've seen Chinese writing, Japanese writing, and Korean writing, and they all look different. Japanese has a lot less lines than Chinese, generally, and korean looks like a bunch of squished blobs."

I'll take a night watch I guess. I'll get up on one of the steps, high enough for a decent vantage point without inviting hilarious falling disasters. Bow at the ready, I guess, despite not having arrows. I am, hopefully, intimidating enough to anyone that isn't packing heat.

"So far, it seems safe. However, deeper in the cave is a section we can't get past, so I don't know who's further down that way. There is writing on there, but it's not japanese or chinese. If anyone's skilled in languages, maybe they could come check it out with us tomorrow. In any case, the back of the cave is boarded up, so as long as we don't make too much noise, it should be fine."

I'm going to rest, and hand the spear back to adwarf.

I'm going to keep watch, finding an angle that allows me to view both the cave and the way into the clearing, if possible. If not, higher priority goes to the cave.

((There is a boarded up segment of a man-made, or tool worked natural cave, and we aren't battering through it to check it out? What is wrong with us, it's almost like we're trying to live)).

"I don't trust that cave. We shouldn't do anything with it until tomorrow. I will keep watch on it and the clearing entrance."

"The reason Japanese looks different is that they use three alphabets. Katakana and Hiragana for much of the time, Kanji for the rest. Kanji is borrowed from China, and the symbols mainly represents nouns."
