Keep wandering around. Looks for edible-looking plants or any animals. This time, don't just throw things into your mouth with reckless abandon.

Final post for tonight, I don't want to get too far ahead of everyone else. Include this in an update after the rest of the roster posts, if you could.

Veshikk heads down to the shoreline and observes the surroundings, after which he begins heading west.

Blatsa kneels down, and takes a small sip of the water, to test it.  If it is no good, he would travel then away from the marsh (east) to find faster moving water.

If the water is fine, he would take several drinks, until he no longer felt the need to.  He would still, however, travel east.

Hocef finally wakes up and looks to check on the condition of her fire and her cave.

Svala scavenges for more Tegacha berries, and eventually eats her fill.  Her vision is still blurred due to the swelling, but it is getting better.



Veshikk heads down to the shoreline and observes the surroundings, after which he begins heading west.
Veshikk finds a single log half in the water and a few sticks along the shoreline.  The log is waterlogged, and no good for any decent construction.  As he heads west, he re-enters the forest.  After about 3 minutes, he comes arcoss a man sitting on a rock protruding into the lake.  He wears an eagle hood and carries a staff with a Dagu skull on the tip, and is adorned with many beads, stones and bones.  He sits pensively, looking out at the lake as he smokes from a long pipe.

Blatsa finds that the water is indeed dirty, since some of it is coming from the swamp.  He begins to head east in search of better water.



Hocef finally wakes up and looks to check on the condition of her fire and her cave.
Hocef is very well-rested, and finds that the fire is now just a pile of ashes.  She does find that there are some sticks and rods left to burn.  Her cave is safe, how she left it.  It doesn't seem like anyone or anything has lived there for a long time, if at all.

Veshikk decides to avoid the man as he may be dangerous, and continue on his way.

Once Blatsa found clean water, he would bend down to drink it, and rest for a moment, and look around the lake.

Hocef picks up her axe and steps outside of the cave to view her surroundings for new resources.



so, about that update
He's at work atm.
Yeah, sorry about that.  Can vouch.



Veshikk decides to avoid the man as he may be dangerous, and continue on his way.
Veshikk continues on his way and arrives back in a thickly-forestd area.  He finds three kinds of berries growing there.  The first, and most prevalent, is the large red atii berry.  The next is the dark blue and medium-sized shendama berry.  The last is the smallest red tegacha berry.

Once Blatsa found clean water, he would bend down to drink it, and rest for a moment, and look around the lake.
Blatsa drinks deep from the clear water, and feels very much refreshed.  He sits at the edge of the lake, scanning the area for anything interesting.  The sky is mostly clear, with a wind blowing softly from the south for the last two days.  Lately, nothing more than small clouds had been drifting in, but as Blatsa looks to the southern horizon, he sees that tonight will be a cloudy one, perhaps rainy.  The wind begins to pick up.



Hocef picks up her axe and steps outside of the cave to view her surroundings for new resources.
Hocef scans her surroundings and sees some small trees that could be cut down and used for lumber.  The area where she is, though, is surrounded by a lot of rocks.

(If anyone doesn't know where they can get resources or how, the Discoveries page has a lot of info on it.)



The wind begins to pick up.

Heshimun, Faraji, and Loec find that they are all very hungry.  Heshimun is dehydrated.  Loec is becoming ill.

Veshikk decides to try the smallest red berry, considering that if the berry is smaller he can carry more. He uses the same process as before to test them. Afterwards he looks around for sticks and large leaves.

Veshikk finds that the tegacha berry is safe to eat and is pleasantly sweet.

There appear to be a lot of sticks and branches on the ground, but not too many large leaves.

Hocef cuts down a few of the small trees and puts them in the cave for later wood burning. Now we have to eat. Hocef tries to hear if there is the sound of water or any animals around.

Veshikk abandons his plan and continues west, seeds still in hand.
