Turn 8Man, that moat bit at the beginning always took too long, amirite?Soundtrack-
The OverturePull with the might of Hercules himself and throw it once again, with less failure.
[5] Jimbo pulls with the strength of ten ten-year-olds! A large tree branch momentarily surfaces before the grappling hook comes loose. Success! Step One complete, [4] Jimbo lofts the rope across the moat, hooking in one of the trees on the other side! Maybe not the most secure tightrope, but it'll do! Exclamation points!
Find something to help the others across, also try to clean off that bloo- I mean Gak.
[4] Matthew walks over to where Jimbo's grappling hook has bit into a tree, and wraps it more securely about a branch, pulling the rope taut. Now it won't slip when the others attempt the crossing! Finding some leaves, Matt manages to clean off most of the... Gak, although his clothes are still sticky.
Vanquish Cross this finely crafted moat!
[5] Kobosh grabs the rope, and nimbly crosses the moat hand over hand, ignoring the frothing death below. That wasn't so hard, was it?
Bah.
Search the ninja pile for relevantly useful equipment. They're ninjas, they have to have something!
[6] Derek shuffles through the ninja equipment, and finds what appears to be a set of smoke bombs! Probably- it's not like these things are labeled or anything.
Woooo!
Make my way onwards, hopefully joining up with the others. Examine moat if I do so, examine surroundings if not.
[3] Mouse ambles to the moat, paying a bit more attention to his surroundings than his peers. Even to his untrained eye, the decorative art on the buildings seems to bear a startling variety of styles, although most of it is what you'd expect from the Mayincatec. The buildings get more ornate closer to the Temple, progressing from abstract shapes and patterns to more detailed depictions, mostly of animals. In particular, there are a lot of Iguanas, Snakes, Monkeys, Jaguars, Barracudas, and Parrots.
Arriving at the moat, Mouse surveys the area. The moat is about 20' wide, with the Temple a good distance beyond, partially obscured by trees and whatnot. The path around the moat goes right up to the lip, and is about 10' wide. A bit off to the right, it looks like the others are rigging some kind of tightrope across- Kobosh and Matt are already across.
Shave down a chunk of flint and lash it to a stick, creating a primitive spear. Also, smear mud on my face like war paint!
I might as well make my time out in the middle of the jungle useful.
[5] Finding himself with the enviable qualities of being both in the jungle, and unsupervised, Zach puts on his WAR FACE. Having read more than his fair share of wilderness survival guides, Zach is able to quickly find a sharp rock and lash it to a fairly straight stick with some vines! He could poke somebody pretty good with this. A little bit of mud, and he's ready for action!
