"Huh who are you?"
*Taking out the littel dagger*

A starved person who spent all his time building a house?

:(

"Oh, Here have some of this , its good"
*Gives a fruit*

Hmm wait

Do you have any means of making a fire?

"No, Sorry"
"Are there others here?"

Not that I know of, I just set up my house there because its near an extinct volcano.

"Well i got to get a move on Cyaz"
Walks away

I quickly throw together a few more logs, to make some planks. Night's falling soon, so I better hurry. Although due to my expertise, or lack thereof, I'm obviously no carpenter, but I start working my blade on 'em. Soon enough I have three or four large, large slabs of wood, about 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. Obviously, there's really no way to fasten 'em to the walls or ground, minus vines, which will fall over soon, so I start making some new tools, starting with a shovel.

I'll probably need someone else's help with this, before I can really get rolling.

Can ya add me to the list?

Its getting dark i must find shelter.
*sees a mountain not far away*
*walking to the mountain*
Found Cave!
Noticed a bear walking into the cave.
Think think!
*Throwed the hairy sack filled with poison fruit.
The bear eats the "dead animal looking drap" and drops dead.
I get in hoping theres no other bears there.
No other bears :D
Pulling the dead bear into the cave.

Lost; Sack of poisoned fruit

Donate the meat I preserved to the village.

Also, a solar still produces 1pt of water, which is enough water for... 1/8th of a person.

Better look for a spring.

Bushido, if you turn up the corners of your raft, punch a hole in the center, and put a container under it, you can collect rainwater.

I search the beach for usable materials. I find 3 coffee cans, an empty beer bottle, an old sandal, driftwood, seaweed (dried, could be used as food).

Take one of the cans and use it to collect water. I'll put the rest of the stuff aside, maybe I can find a use for it later.

And now, I'll type up a list of all the materials we've got, so it's easier to update the main post. This is stuff I donated, or other people donated.

A few squares of nylon
Fireproofed mud
Preserved meat
CD
Driftwood
Beer bottle
Sandal

Oh, and if anyone has plastic sheeting, or plastic bags, I can build more solar distillers. You can also pile up vegetation, stick it in a bag, decline one corner, and harvest water from cellular respiration.

This got a lot further than I expected. Wow.

Falcondude, walking around the island, finds some old rubber bands, some of which look like they could break any minute. He snaps off part of a branch and fashions a slingshot with one of the better bands. He puts the remaining bands in his pocket.

Accomplishments: medium range weapon

I promptly finish the stone digging tool-ish thing (Come to think of it, it's really more like the front of a backhoe or something, only much smaller), and start digging manically straight down into a hole.

Soon enough, I'm somewhat tired, and I have a hole about 7 or 8 feet deep, and about 8 feet across. After dismantling (Easily) the flimsy shelter/storehouse we had earlier, I smash the incredibly light logs into the ground, on each of the corners of my square hole, than line the center with the large plank-like thinks I made, and than flatten and pack the dirt around it. After a few short minutes of labor I have a pit-house, but the problem is, I have no way to get out of it!

On a side note, I seem to have stumbled on something shiny in the ground. On experimentation, it seems stronger than my current rock sword-knife-thing, but that probably also means it's harder to make into stuff. I'd openly guess it's iron, but I'm no geologist, I'm just a kid. With alot of energy.

Created; Storage Pit.
Created; A Stone Digger-thing.
Created; A large variety of rocks.

I'm trapped in a hole! O_o
Accomplished; Was stupid enough to get trapped in a hole.
Accomplished; Made a strong shelter and home.

Falcondude goes to see if he can find anything to hunt.

He finds a bear eating a small animal. He shoots a rock at it, but that only attracts attention to him and gets the bear angry. The bear runs at him; Falcondude ducks to the side and dodges. He runs to the bear's prey and finds a broken, bloody bone. The bear charges at him again, but he stabs it with the bone, stopping it in it's tracks and killing it.

He drags the bear back to the middle of the island to share with the others, and sees Bushido trapped in his shelter. He promises to make a ladder... somehow.

Accomplishments: dead bear

Since the time between me and rescue could potentially very long, I decide to start notching my own ladder in one of the logs. But, before I get to that, I try to extract the ore that I found earlier. After I start digging/ stabbing the dirt around it for a few seconds, the ore falls right out. Apparently something pushed it out on the other side, or it wasn't all that stable. After a few more stabbings at the wall, the wall caves in, leading to an underground cave, containing a few hot springs. The cave ceiling above the hot springs inevitably leads straight up, back into camp, but the cave is, of course, solid rock, and I probably couldn't get through it if I wanted to.

The spring's water seems just hot enough to create steam, and I don't think there's any salt in it. But I could be wrong, so we'll just have to find out later.

Dang, I have incredible luck! You know, minus the whole "I'm trapped on a deserted island" thing. But past that, it's been rather lucky!



After a few minutes of relaxing in the 'spring, I get back to my grueling task at hand; Getting the heck out of the pit I made.

Falcondude, trying to save his friend, goes exploring again. He takes a bone from the bear that could be used for cutting things.

He finds plenty of trees, and before long, he has some logs. He cuts notches in some longer logs and sticks the shorter ones in the notches. He ends up with a six foot ladder.

He carries the ladder back to the hole and lowers it down. Doing so, he falls in himself, but at least they can get out when they want.

Accomplished: ladder for shelter.
