Sorry, I don’t exactly understand your action. Can you rephrase that?
by digging stick, i think he means a special type of tool for digging.

Action: Caution Evolution4Weak that a big stick will be needed to avoid it breaking. Then, try burning the hallucinogenic roots.
Story
A cataclysmic event has happened! Rain is dropping like anvils. The sky is booming and bright with lightning strikes and loud thunder! The earth is being swept away by the downpour. Did our tribe prepare for such a calamity? Their fate is determined by the dice…
You each get a storm roll to see what happens to you.

Tekis
Action: Report findings to the group
Result: 16/20
You tell everyone about the meaty taste when it’s cooked. They’re impressed by your ingenuity. You also take shelter in stable shack 2.
Storm roll: 1/20
Result: You seek shelter in the shack, but you get swept away in the storm. You almost drown, and you are lost from the camp. You’re cold and scared.

Food: Full
Thirst: Thirsty
Inventory: Music rocks x3, Music stick x1

Magic8Ball04
Action: Make an umbrella
Result: 9/20 +3 = 12/20
You struggle a bit to build the umbrella but you manage to do it with a few thick leaves and a stick. You also build a strong container out of rocks tied together for the fire stick, as you realised fire doesn’t burn rocks, as per Abayomi’s command.
Storm roll: 11/20
Aided by the umbrella, you climb on top of a tree, shielded from a bit of the rain. Despite that, the wind was frigid and kept pushing your umbrella way from you, exposing you to the rain. Nonetheless, you’re inconvenienced by the rain and shivering from the wind, but it’s not too bad.
Health: Healthy
Food: Full
Thirst: Full
Inventory: smooth rock x1, tough rock x1, sharp rock x2, stick x4
Personality: Weirdo…, Handyman
Abayomi
Action: Make a campfire
Result: 10/20
You set it up like you wanted, but before you had a chance to light it, you saw the rain start dropping, so you stored the fire stick into the container to keep it from dying.
Storm roll: 7/20
You get a little caught off guard by the heavy rain, and get stuck in it for a couple of minutes, drenched down to the bone. You finally find Sturdy hut 1, in which you take shelter. You start sneezing and coughing. Uh oh, you have hypothermia!
Health: Hypothermic (food and water draining faster)
Food: Slightly hungry
Thirst: Slightly thirsty
Inventory: Bloody flint x1, Large metal panel x1, hunk o’ hippo x2, burning stick x1

Zen'Zon
Action: Rally everyone to take shelter in the shrine
Result: 10/20 +3 = 13/20
Thanks to your warnings, a lot of people take shelter in the shrine, although many remain skeptic. Ah well, the true believers are safe!
Storm roll: 17/20
For some reason, the shrine was the only building with a door, which kept out a lot of the water, so all the people who went with you were mostly dry. The people will respect you more now. Upgrade! Religious perk now goes to +4!
Health: Healthy
Food: Full
Thirst: Full
Inventory: flint x2, bloody flint x1, bloody tough rock x1, sabertooth x1, medium rib x1
Personality: hunter, religious v2
Evolution4Weak
Action: Try to make a digging stick with the fire
Result: 12/20 -1 = 11/20
You make a digging stick that more or less works, but you don’t have time to make it very sturdy, because you saw the storm starting to take place.
Storm roll: 15/20
You were one of the tribe members who took refuge in Zen’Zon’s shrine, and as a result, stayed dry. There were a lot of people and the place was packed, and you were one of the last to enter, so you were next to the door, which made you slightly uncomfortable, but nothing bad happened.
Health: Healthy
Food: Slightly hungry
Thirst: Slightly Thirsty
Inventory: empty 
Personality: unlucky, scout
Pentaphon
Action: Tell Evo that they need a big stick for digging, then proceed to burn hallucinogenic roots.
Result: 13/20
You tell Evolution4Weak about the stick, before proceeding to burn 8Ball’s roots. You feel woozy, but you were far away enough that the effect was minimal. You put the fire back in the container when you’re done.
Storm roll: 9/20
Because of your intoxication, it took you a while to find shelter once the storm set in, but you found one after a couple of minutes. You’re drenched, and as such, you caught a cold.

Action: tell everyone that 42ism is the way to go and the storm was caused by their absence of belief
Action: Scream for help, while trying to find the shack.
Action: Make Better Digging Stick
thanks to our faith in the banods all who took shelter in the shrine were okay. taking this as a sign Zen’Zon names the religion Potassism (pronounced potass-e-ism). and tell everyone that Potassism is the way to go and the storm was caused by their absence in belief.
the two religions could very well cause the tribe to split.
How many turns is the storm happening, @OmnipotentFNarr? I might change my actions depending on your answers.
Anyway…
Abayomi decides that he tries to find Tekis and @Magic8Ball04 and to bring them back to the camp all alive and well (I give it to myself as a free action, since it’s supposed to be guaranteed to work).
On his part, Abayomi tells Zen’zon to take care of the tribe while he’s out looking for the missing members.
I was thinking about it, and I think one turn should be enough. Otherwise, it might get too chaotic.
Oh no! I didn’t realize it was hitting this turn. Maybe it wasn’t the right time to experiment with drugs.
Action: Make a simple tree shelter to rest and recuperate in.

Even after the incredible storm, not everyone is safe. One of our members is lost, while others are still recovering. The damage wasn’t too bad, but morale is shattered.
