The Thrive Odyssey

What have you done?! As a Black Mesa researcher once yelled, “We’re doomed!”

Also, @Pentaphon, you’re the last one left!

Action: Drink water.

Great Master @OmnipotentFNarr, next round please!

You don’t need to remind me to do the next round every time. If I didn’t do it yet, I couldn’t do it yet. I know you’re just excited/worried, but I know what I’m doing. Anyways, next round.

Story

Food is starting to dwindle and our pack is starting to go hungry. Food isn’t always very abundant in the savannah, so our tribe might have to move soon. Unless something unexpected happens…

Tekis

Action: Eat and drink water
Result: 3/20

You try to go eat some food and drink some water, but you forgot where the watering hole is. Plus, when you went to eat your favourite mambo you were saving, you found out it was taken! Frustrated, you forget to eat, despite your rumbly tummy.

Magic8Ball04

Action: Teach monkeys 42ism and disappear…
Result: 19/20

You teach everyone the greatness of worshipping a number (despite not knowing what numbers are), much to the dismay of the Banana shriners, and you even “disappear” in front of them, by jumping into a hole behind a bush you previously dug. The people are impressed, but also kind of confused.

Action: Steal the fire and light the tallgrass on fire
Result: 11/20

While the others are distracted scolding Abayomi for their clumsiness and almost losing the fire, you take the opportunity to steal the flame stick and light the tallgrass on fire. It doesn’t do much, but there’s a small fire.

Result: 2/20 +3 = 5/20

After Zen’Zon’s little mishap, you take the stick and bury it under a bundle of other sticks, hoping to destory it, but secretly hoping to light the others, but it extinguishes, much to your disappointment. Oh well, there’s the burning tall grass!

Action: construct a hut

Action: Squeeze liquid out of mambo fruits into my mouth to quench my thirst.

Abayomi decides that @Magic8Ball04 eats fruits and drinks water, so that he may not die of starvation or of thirst (sorry Tekis, gonna give you that action next time).
On his part, Abayomi takes a long and thick wooden stick to set its extremity ablaze with the help of the fire in the tall grass.

it seems my fire preservation was a good idea :slightly_smiling_face:
action: replant the sapling and warn my followers the dangers of 42ism also eat some hippo and drink some water.
@OmnipotentFNarr master everyone has posted! when can we get the next round?

Fire is roaring near the camp, and everyone is on edge. Their only source of warmth and light is now caught in between life and death, desperately clinging to what little fuel the tall grass provides. Someone has to do something!

Round 14, Australopithecus Afarensis - 3.9 Million Years ago. Day 516 - Noon

Tekis

Action: Put a chunk of hippo onto the fire and then eat it.
Result: 15/20

You steal one of Abayomi’s hippo hunks, and toss it into the fire in frustration. When you come back later, you realise it didn’t crisp up, but brown a little. You grab a bite. It’s…edible, I guess. You don’t like the taste, but food’s food and you were hungry, so you ate it all. It was also very bloody and juicy, so it slightly quenched your thirst.

Abayomi

Action: Take a long stick and light it up

You take a long stick and set it ablaze at a comfortable distance. It starts burning, but rather quickly. I’d give it about 4 rounds, tops.

Inventory: Bloody flint x1, Large metal panel x1, hunk o’ hippo x2, burning stick x1

Zen'Zon

Action: Replant sapling, fight 42ism and drink water and eat raw hippo pieces
Result: 9/20 +3 = 12/20

You ask Abayomi for some tiny hippo pieces, which you proceed to eat raw. It tastes gross, so you wash off the taste with some of the water. You decide to replant a new sapling, although with a little struggle. You also warn others about 42ism, which some listen to, while others start plotting to raid the shrine again.

Evolution4Weak

Action: Try to set more sticks on fire
Result: 11/20 -1 = 10/20

You try tossing some sticks into the fire to light them up, but they burn out too quickly for you to pick them up. At least it served as fuel for the fire.

Be wary, the air is starting to get humid and the birds stopped flying. There may be an event soon…

@TeaKing @Evolution4Weak @Magic8Ball04 @blackjacksike @Pentaphon @zenzonegaming

action: report my findings to the group and learn to remove the blood next time.

also, i’d like to own shack 2. abayomi should get shack 1 because he’s the leader.

Action: Find A Stick And Try To Make A Digging Stick With The Fire

Thanks to a large amount of praying the banods give me a sign of great disaster soon to come!
Action: rally the true believers to prepare for the great calamity while also pleading to the rest of the monkeys to take shelter in the shrine.
(the great calamity includes the “crusade” that is soon to happen and the what i believe to be a hurricane.)

Abayomi is thinking about how to make a fire camp. So far, he saw that wood is a very good fuel for fire. On the other end, he has never seen any fire burning a rock. Thus, he tries a build a campfire at the center of the camp [primary action]. This campfire is very simple; Abayomi takes many rocks and places them in a way to form a circle. Then, he takes many wooden sticks and screws them a bit into the ground (inside the circle of rocks of course) in a way to form a pyramid. Finally, he steps a bit away from the campfire and lights it on with his long flaming wooden cane.
He also realizes that it’s getting humid, so he asks @Magic8Ball04 to build a container for the new fire at the camp. He reminds him that it must at least have a roof [secondary action].

Action: make an umbrella
