No, but there's a rock compass pointing the way to the new camp just east of the camp, plus the tracks of about 7 people.

Edit: In hindsight, getting split up was a very stupid idea.

Drama is good.

Also, I think you'd be better off in the cave. We will have time to build a better shelter later, so it's more important to find out if the cave is home to some kind of horrible demon-bear for the time being, so we don't get surprised later. Also, there might even be usable stuff and/or loot in it.

As for a fire, I'm not sure we need just now. We don't have any kind of food that needs cooking yet, and it's not raining or storming so we don't run the risk of getting too cold, right? Moreover, we don't have any reliable way of lighting it (unless the evening sun is strong enough to use glasses), at least unless I missed something, so it's quite possible we'll be wasting time lighting a fire that won't ignite.
On the other hand, it's hard to say we won't need a fire without knowing what's to come, and it's better to have one and not need it than have to go all Captain Hindsight on ourselves. And if we manage to start one, the late night guards can still work a little on the camp since they're awake anyway.

So, starting a fire and gathering building "supplies" (ie, branches/wood, wines, and large leaves if any are around) is are really the things that need doing right now, provided we can postpone hunting/fishing/foresting for the time being.

Lastly, and just so it's clear;
> I'm resting this turn, so I can stay up the next. Unless something more important comes up, that is.

[Diakron]

is there anybody left back at the beach? cus that's where I headed to.

I am, I'm going to wait here this turn and leave for the cave the next

[MaximumZero]

I'll start making the tools already.

What kind of tools? Of what?

[lordnincompoop]

Axes, spears, stuff like that. I'll use the sticks, teeth, and bits of the sheet metal. If I can't use that metal I'll just use something else sharp.

[Diakron]

Don't waste metal on spears or axes, I'll make some spearpoints and ax-heads from Flint or Obsidian, which will lend weight to them, that metal is some sort of aluminum alloy I bet.

[lordnincompoop]

Make those and I'll get them on to a good shaft of some sort then.

[sonerohi]

I'm doing my longbow and stuff this turn, and if no one else does I'll make the sacrifice and do lookout duty next turn, which I should be extra effective at what my newfound killing power.

[Diakron]

if you make a decent Bow make me one as well, I have good bow skills.

[Tack]

The metal scraps would make good fishing lures. If there's one with a jagged edge, it could double as a hook, too, which'd be great.

[sonerohi]

I'm not sure if Max would penalize you for using a bow designed for someone of my height and strength, but comparing our skills I'll hand you the first one and you could handle it way better than me regardless of quality.

[Diakron]

if you make a long bow it is still a longbow, its the make of the bow that sits it apart not the height

The height does change it, though. Longbows shoot further than shortbows.

Tack, I'm with you in scoping out the cave, but I plan on running if it's inhabited by something more vicious than the average dog. Considering that we're on an island in the middle of nowhere, it'd probably end up being a variety of velociraptorwolfbear.

[Diakron]

Actually go ahead and keep the first bow, I'll need one with a lighter draw since I only have 3 strength (my normal bow has a pull of 85, but its a Recruve bow)

[Aqizzar]

I don't know if we were supposed to discuss the search-party's activities only in PMs or what, but I'd rather not have my PM box filled with little notes about stuff like that.  So I'm going to search the perimeter of the village, staying down if possible, to look for where whatever attacked the place may have come from.  I'll suggest the other members of the party do the same.
