Wake Up Naked

>>1701376
Man, this sounds interesting but the thing is, Us anons don't like to think, i would be down but there's no one else :/
If you had us take control of someone WUNIAFWAR that would get some players. At least that's how i see it.

>>1701376
What sort of post rate are you hoping for? This should help people decide if they can commit as players.

What sort of tone can we as players expect? From the ruleset, it looks fairly lighthearted, though it's best to confirm straight off that we aren't actually stepping into Planescape: Torment.

>>1702100
> Post rate
As far as I'm concerned, at the players leisure, preferably somewhat slow. I have a lot of work to do, since I'm busting ass straightening up a friends property, so I won't be able to reply all the time, but I will check the thread semi regularly. Expect it to pick up a bit in the middle of the day, coz that is when I have free time.

>Tone

Honestly, it varies. Some sessions are light hearted (as much so as you can be in a seemingly post apocalypse society) and some can get rather dark. Most sessions tend to be a bit darker, dealing with post catastrophic elements like cannibalism, raiders, general distrust of
others, betrayal... but It canoscillate widely, and the tone for each player is largely dependent upon how they align themselves in the scheme of things. I mean, FFS, you wake up naked every time. A little silliness goes a long way to keeping it from being overbearing, and is acceptable.

>>1702073
Perhaps you might like to step in as our first player, and I'll throw you right into the world, and you can take control of your avatar then?

>>1702178
I dunno man, i would like to have at least one more person in

>>1702201
I could stick around. Post rate might be somewhat infrequent, though.

>>1702201
You build it, and they will come, right? Anyways, I'ma just leave this next bit here for whoever DOES want to play, and people can reply to this to begin....

>9a.m.
>You wake up naked in a field with a rock. You stand up and find yourself in waist high grass in the middle of a clearing. Pine and oak trees line the perimeter, a couple miles out in all directions. The sun is rising in the sky, and you can hear the song of birds and the chitterings of squirrels from the trees. To the West, you see a road, running North to South, not very far away. Due North, you see a town in the distance. A church tower overlooks it. To the South, the road continues into the trees. What do you do?

>>1702307
You step into the woods. The shade is a welcome relief from the heat of the day. Thr ground beneath your feet is damp and muddy. Your feet crush branches as you walk. In the distance, you can hear running water, and it reminds you that you not only have worked up a thirst, but it's companion hunger stirs you as well, though with less immediacy, yet still present. If only you could get some clothes, you could talk to the folks in town without seeming... Weird.

I assume we're all meant to play separate characters here.

James - part-time cashier, full-time university student - wakes up in the middle of an unfamiliar field, trying to recall the events of the night prior. When that proves futile, he shrugs and decides to head in the direction of town.

In his hand is clutched a triangular teardrop-shaped piece of agate, flat and familiar. Its feel gives some comfort from the thrumming in his head, somewhat different from the hangover he was expecting.

>>1702395
+1 Barter, +1 Speech. What was your major, James?

Anyway...

You start North down the road, headed towards the town. You see as you approach it, primitive wooden barricades have been erected in the streets as a perimeter. The buildings are dilapidated and worn, but sure enough, there's a little bit of life to the place. You see the glow of a campfire in the distance.

Standing at the gate, you see two men, holding rifles, keeping watch at the road. They see you approach, stark naked, rock in hand, and they look entirely unsurprised to see you. They don't even level their weapons at you.

"Oi!" One shouts. "Just wake up?"

>What do you do?

>>1702384
I should make a character right ñ?

>>1702444
Yes

>>1702449
Might take a while, unexpected things happened.

>>1702442
Distracted from the sensation in his head for the moment, James responds, nonplussed: "Uh. Yeah. Guess I'm not in Kansas anymore, huh?"

Would it be munchkinning if I said Medicine? Also, there's one other skill I'd like to have, could I drop Barter in favor of it?

>>1702479
+1 Medicine, what did you have in mind instead?

"To say the least." The guard smirks. "Well come on in. You aren't the first one to come a stumbling in here butt naked and confused."

"Go check out the supply depot. We can at least give you some clothes. Can't guarantee they'll be nice or nothing, but it's better than getting sunburnt to death."

They let you pass through the gate into the town.

You pick an old oak branch up off of the ground, and using your stone, you sharpen it to a fine point.

>Acquired Wood Spear

You make your way through the foliage, and in the distance, you see a swiftly moving stream flowing over several rocks. It is shallow enough to ford the river. Some berry bushes are growing near the water. Fish dart about in the deeper sections. Several large ones are resting in some calmer pools closer to the shoreline. A deer at the far bank sees you come out of the brush and freezes where it stands.

You draw your Spear back, and launch it across the river. The tension is palpable as you hold your breath and watch it sail through the air. Your spear strikes true and the embeds itself into the animal's side. Blood pours forth from the wound, staining the green grass.

With still some confusion, James asks the guard as he passes him by on his way into the town: "Is there anything I should to know about... wherever we are?"

I was thinking a less optimal third skill like Music or Perform, for flavor. Pic related, I have one in my hand.

With now more questions than answers, James decides to follow the guard's original suggestion and make his way to the supply depot.

>>1703411

You pick up a rock from the forest floor, and hurl it at your prey. It was a sloppy throw at best, but all those years teaching kids how to throw things and lifting weights must have paid off. The stone strikes the deer.

>Rock 1atk/round, 1d4

>>1703423

>>1703421
You make your way through town.
You pass the campfire, people huddled round, the smell of cooking soup teases your nostrils. You pass the church, it's large arched doorways stretching up to the sky, a steeple tower overlooking everything, and you notice the strategically placed sniper. You carry on, and see what is a gas station, now retconned as a supply depot.

You walk inside.

An older man with graying beard is sitting at a workbench. He hears the bell on the door ring, turns around, and sees you. He stands up and walks to the front desk. On the workbench you see firearms in various states of repair and assembly.

"First timer, eh? Here ya go... Standard care package, everyone gets one.

He hands you tattered jeans and a t shirt. They don't really offer much by way of protection, but it will at least cover your shame.

"Now, if that's everything, I have work to do...'

The stone strikes the deer. The heft of it was enough to knock it unconscious. You approach, grab your spear, and push it in deeper. The animal stops breathing. You stand alone in a small woodland clearing above your kill, the scent of blood heavy in the air.

You set about field dressing your animal. You cut into it's skin with your piece of flint and open up the chest cavity. It's insides smell horrible, but you set about your work with diligence. Eventually, the carcass is gutted and skinned.

>Wat do?

As he dresses, James inquires about who he should go to to best find out more about this place he's ended up in. Or at least how to get started around here.

>>1703494
Dragging the deer to the river through the brush was hard work, but you make your way back to the river methodically. You start by washing the meat and hide. When this is done, you take a refreshing dip, washing off the sweat and blood of your labor. You now stand by the rivers edge with a hide and easily a hundred pounds of meat.

>Wat do?

Rolled 11 (1d20)

"Do I ever? Just look at this place, it's a damned mess! Utter chaos everywhere. And I've been scrambling to get these guns repaired... You gotta understand, kid, not all firsties are always friendly. Some of em remember this place and decide maybe later on they wanna raid it, ya know? They get greedy, and think fighting amongst each other will get them further than good old fashioned community, damnit. That's what this world has forgotten..."

"Im the only man running this operation right now. I need help repairing these guns, I need help stitching and sewing, and repairing armor, but what I really need is for somebody to go kill the damn raiders that have been harassing the town for weeks. Go burn their fort down, damnit. I could 'lose' some equipment for THAT endeavor... Look, kid. I got a laundry list of things you could do, kid, but I gotta know, do you have any skills?"

>>1703559
>10am
Refreshed, you set about working your hide. You pierce holes with your sharp flint, and scavenge some nearby vines for cordage. After awhile, you've managed to fashion a primitive tube top and loincloth out of the skin. It's nothing extravagant, in fact, it's painfully average, but it will do as a garment.

"Just a few years of medical school. Still a while away from graduating, mind," James replies. "Apart from that, not too much as far as rebuilding a community is concerned, I'm afraid."

>>1703609
You set to work, scavenging some dry brush and building a pile. With some extra cordage and a few sticks, you fashion a bow drill, and manage to breathe life into an ember. Smoke rises from your fire as it springs to life. Looking around, you see some rather large fern leaves and wrap chunks of meat in them before setting them in the fire. The aroma of venison hangs heavy in the air.

"'Two Dollar Phil'? I think the guard I met on my way in mentioned that name too. Who IS he?"

>>1703652
Under the crackling of flames, you hear the rustling of brush. Two very large dogs emerge, hackles raised and teeth bared, snarling. Their jaws drip saliva, and their ribs can be seen on their emaciated frames. One of the darts for a severed haunch of deer laying on the ground.

"Some say Phil founded this city. I think it's a load of crap. This town has been here, Phil just moved in and souped the place up, and decided to let some people stay one day after he figured out not everybody was gonna rob him. That, and with firsties waking up by here nearly all the time, I guess he figured it'd be safer to just welcome folks right off the bat then go making enemies. Who really knows what goes on in Phil's mind, though... That boy, he's nuttier than squirrel shit sometimes."

"That's the skinny of it I guess. Some nutjob moved in, souped the place up, invited folks in, and named the place after himself. Calls it Philopolis now, as if this place is God's gift to man."

>>1703731
>Give them more
>Bow down and remain still

>>1703745

>10:30am

The first dog drags the haunch off into the bushes. The second keeps it's eyes on you as you grab another chunk of meat, and throw it on the ground. His face relaxes slightly and his hackles drop as he regards you, now in a submissive posture, sharing your meat with him, and in the quiet of the forest, one could almost hear the gears of his canine thought process whirring. Curiously, he sniffs at the air I'm your general direction.

Without taking his eyes off of you, he picks the meat up in his jaws, and backs away slowly towards the thicket from which they emerged. He turns quickly, and disappears into the foliage.

You go back to tending your fire and cooking. You're almost done.

>What do next?

>>1703767
>Finish up and extinguish fire
>Return to the road

>>1703796
You snuff the fire and collect your belongings, ford the river, and walk through the woods. The tree line thins and before you, sure enough, is the waist high grass of the field you awoke in. In the distance, you see the road, running North/South, and the church house overlooking a small town.

>>1703845

>11am

You make your way through the field, and start to follow the road towards the town. As you approach, you see that the place has been surrounded by a simple wooden barricade. A glow of a campfire is in the distance. Two armed men stand between you and the town. They see you approach, clad in leather, a spear in one hand, and a stack of leafy packages under one arm. One of them shouts to you.

"Can I help you?"

"This town is always changing. People come, people go all the time. Phil is really the only home body here. That's why he's in charge. If ya get good with him, he might even let you requisition some gear."

"However, I happen to be a rather permanent fixture here these days. Name's Baxter, kid. Pleasure to meet ya. If ya need your gear repaired, or if you're looking to trade or barter, I'm the guy to see. And if ya need any pointers or anything, I'd be glad to oblige. Phil can be a little obtuse when it comes to answering people's questions. Now, did ya need anything else?

"This town is called Philopolis." One of the men says to you. "You're welcome to pass through, and check out the town. Stay out of trouble and you should be fine. If you're looking to trade, check out the supply depot. You can find our mayor $2 Phil over by the church. Lunch is about ready, too. You're welcome to get a bite to eat if you're hungry. You can find it at the fire pit."

As he finishes speaking to you, you hear one of them remark, "there's another firstie. You turn around, and see a naked man, carrying a large chunk of silver or shambling up the road.

Welcome, William. +1 to Range Weapons (attack), Computers, Search.

You make your way to the road, and follow it to town. In the distance, you see a woman clad in leather and vines being let through at the gate. As you approach, one of them shouts at you.

"Oi, firstie! Same thing I told the girl! Welcome to Philopolis. You're welcome to come in, just don't cause any trouble. We can set you up with some clothes at the supply depot, and you're welcome to join us for lunch at the hearth in the center of town.

You make your way into town, ignoring the leather clad huntress, and find the supply depot. Sleeping in front of the main desk, you see a man in tattered jeans and a t shirt. Working furiously at a table is an older gentleman with a graying beard, assembling and repairing firearms. He hears the bell ring, stands up, looks at you, and speaks.

"Firstie, huh? Here ya go. Standard care package, everyone gets ONE." He hands you some torn jeans and a t shirt. "Now, if you'll excuse me I gotta get these guns ready before we get raided again."

>>1705245
You make your way through town. In the middle of the town, at a major crossroad, you see the church. The front doors are open and you step inside. All the pews have been taken out, and you see filling the congregation hall, bedroll and sleeping bags laid out on the ground, and footlockers lined up by the walls. In a large chair at the far end of the room, you see a man reading a book, his shotgun resting on his lap.

Suddenly, with no warning, one of the bedroll, formerly empty, now contains a sleeping person, who awakens with a gasp as if from some horrible nightmare. They stand up, stark naked, and make their way over to a foot locker with a combo lock.

The man in the chair looks up, ignoring the naked person, and instead, addresses you.

"Ain't never seen you before. Can I help you?"

>How do you reply

"Well, as I was telling this gentleman here," he says motioning to the man sleeping by the front desk, "I could use a ton of help. Don't really have any machining that needs to be done, let alone power to run tools. We would need to find a generator and the tools themselves first. If ya did bring me those, I could give ya a little something..."

"Look. This whole place is a wreck. I need to get these guns repaired. I have armor repairs I need to set to as well. Also need to organize the shop and take inventory. It's cluttered in here as you can see. You're more than welcome to reassemble some of these guns. They've been cleaned out already. Do a good job, I might even throw you a couple things.

"We could probably get you something better, though, but you gotta do something for me first. Ever since the world went to shit, luxuries are a rarity. Not to say we don't try to make our own."

"I'm building a still. We've scavenged as much copper tubing from the surrounding buildings as we can, but it's not enough to get the operation up and running. I hear there's an old strip mall to the South of here. You could probably find some copper tubing there."

>>1705281

The quartermaster sets about stitching leather armor together around metal plates as you do this, leaving you unsupervised at your task. You manage to piece together a .357 revolver and a double barrel breech loader shotgun, but when you get to the semi automatic weapons, piecing together the firing mechanisms eludes you. You give up as you've reached a dead end in your task.

"Don't really have much use for silver these days, what with jewelry not being in high demand, but I might be able to use it to repair some electronics. Gonna have to smelt it first, though. If it was already smelted, I could give you more... I'll tell you what. I'll give you a sleeping bag and a compression sack for it. It's a little ratty, but it'll work. Deal?"

>>1705320

You walk into the supply depot, interrupt the quartermaster mid barter, and solicit him for clothes. He gives you jeans n a t shirt and you get dressed, leaving your leather and vines tags on the ground. You step back out into the middle of town. There is a crossroads. One road heads North/South, the other East/West.

>Where do you go?

He hands you the sleeping bag and takes your ore.

"Most folks set up their beds in the town hall til they get a little more situated in a more permanent spot. You're welcome to do the same."

You start walking south, when you hear a loud cry of HELP!!! Two armed men come from the North gate and converge upon your present location as you start trying to walk nonchalantly away. They level their rifles, one at you, and one at William.

>>1705456
"That's interesting. Because we saw her walking away from the depot, minding her own business, before she turned around to throw a stick. And, she started walking away again before you cried for help."

"As far as I'm concerned, it's rather cut and clear. We don't have a jail around here. You have next to nothing of value to pay a fine. Killing you would only make you wake up somewhere else. It's simple. You are BOTH going to leave town, in different directions, and you, sir, are not coming back on pain of combat."

You whip your knife at the chest of the guard, and it sinks into his chest. Blood pours from the wound, as you close the distance. You hear a rifle crack as his friend tries to fire, but you moved too fast.

>In this order
>Anne's turn, then Gaurds, then William

---

Anne. You see William whip a knife at the first gaurd and charge him. He is bleeding and has dropped his rifle, grasping at the knife in his chest. Gaurd #2 fired off a shot, but missed, and is cycling the round out of the bolt on his rifle. You stand there, spear in hand, maybe 20 feet away from the erupting melee.

You do not have a clear line of sight to William, as two gaurds are between you guys.

What do you do?

You take off running due south. You pass by the church and the campfire. People are staring to the north. Nobody is going to investigate, but a lot of folks have withdrawn weapons, and are taking defensive positions within their homes.
You get your to the South gate. The gaurds are still at their post, but on alert. They let you pass.

Another rifle crack sounds in the north.

>William

The first gaurd struggles with the blade in his chest. He coughs, and spits up some blood.

You pick up the rifle from the ground and leap backwards. You fire center of mass at the gaurds chest, and a spray of blood mists out in a cloud.

The force of the blow staggers the second gaurd, and hits him in the shoulder, flailing his arm uselessly at his side, but he's still alive, and very pissed off. He drops his gun and pulls a club off his belt, and moves to swing.

The first gaurd struggles with the knife in his chest and spits more blood. He falls to his knees and gasps.

>What do? (r20)

>Anne.

You make your way further to down the road. The grass field fades away, and you find yourself walking a curvy road through the woods. You come across a metal barrier around a bend in the road, and see a car, old and worn, smashed into it. The door is ajar, and there's an old corpse in the driver's seat. It's been here a long time. Scorch marks cover the cabin and pavement.

Welcome, Cory! We now have four players. I am not accepting any more at this time.

You make your way into the woods, the sound of distant gunshots echoing over the peaceful vale. The woods are quiet, the wildlife scared off from the erupting battle. The ground is muddy and covered in branches. In the distance, you hear a stream flowing.

>What do you do?

>>1705588
Nice digits. Ahem.

You search the car. Everything in the cabin was destroyed in the fire. The engine has taken severe damage and would need a complete repair, however, in the trunk, you find a small backpack, a child's bookbag. Only then do you noticed the burned car seat in the back and some rather tiny remains.

You search the skeleton. You produce a charred wallet, with a driver's license. There's also 20 dollars inside.

>>1705607
>>What do you do?
make my way to the stream, picking up sticks as I go along

>>1705612
>1:30pm
You come to the stream. It's flowing fast and deep, but you could ford it if you wish. There are some calmer pools where larger fish are resting. There are berry bushes growing on the waters edge. You seein the distance, a man holding a stick out above the waters surface. He is clad in leather. He has not noticed you. He whips back his stick, and you see a fish, dangling from a piece of string.

>What do you do?

>>1705607
Equip the backpack and put the bookbag and dollars inside

>>1705620
He'll probably be there for a bit, let him be for now.
>Sharpen one of my sticks into a spear, go fishing

>>1705624
You put the backpack on, and put the bill inside. You start down the road again. It's long and winding. In the distance, you see the woods thinking out, and a long boulevard, lined with shops. There's a sign that says Paradise City Mall, painted over in white paint with Welcome to Malla Malla Now GO AWAY. You will reach the strip by 2pm game time.

The first soldier finally wrestles the knife from his chest. Blood leaks faster from the wound. He staggers to his feet.

You go to bludgeon the second gaurd with the rifle as he goes to bludgeon you with his club.

Waking up with a start from his sudden bout of unexpected narcolepsy, James looks around in confusion. "Uh, what? Did I just... pass out? What happened?"

Remembering the old man in the room with him, he adds with a cough: "Ahem. That is. You said your name's Baxter, I think? I'm James. Nice meeting you too. I guess I'd best familiarize myself with town for now, but I'll be sure to come back here if I'm in dire need of anything."

Morning guys, OP here. Breaking for the hot part of the day. I'll be around for a couple hours. If y'all are around, jump right on in.

You make your way into the woods, your heart pounding from adrenaline and exertion. Behind you, on the road, from the direction of Philopolis, you can hear the voices of men shouting and dogs barking. It would seem as if they're trying to track you.

You call out to the desolate strip mall, trying to find any signs of life, but nobody stirs.

You make your way through the street, glass crunching under foot, shuffling through debris and past burned out cars. You make your way up to the department store. The doors, motion activated glass doors, have had the windows smashed out, and you step inside. You stand in front of a jewelry counter inside the clothing department. There are escalators, long inactive, going up, and down.

"No worries. I wish folks woulda been even a fraction as kind to me when I first woke up. Grab a seat round the fire and cook you up a fish."

"My friends call me Lief, by the by. We live out here in these woods. A lotta folks usually head to that dumpy little town over there right off, but I kinda feel like that's an option for someone incapable of surviving on their own. Moving into a derelict town is one thing. Building your own from scratch, though, takes talent and dedication. You seem alright.

You arise from your slumber and speak to Baxter.

"Sometimes people just pass out, kid. I don't know why. Life out here is rough and exhausting, to be honest. Can't blame people for catching some shut eye whenever they can. You didn't miss too much. Apparently, though, there was a gun fight in the streets not too long ago. Some men are organizing a search party for the perpetrator."

"Anyway, James, a pleasure to meet ya. You seem like a good kid. Come visit sometime."

You step outside into the street, and only then do you notice a heavy box in your pocket rattling around. You produce a box of 9mm ammunition.

Something to match? You browse the clothing racks in the store, and turn up a lavish faux fur coat.

>Acquired gold necklace

You hide in the woods, in a dense thicket. You watch a party of four men and two dogs making their way down the road.

"He couldn't have gotten far! Fan out!"

The party splits up and begins to search the surrounding area, when the silent woods erupt in whoops and gunfire. You see two members of the party succumb to bullets and one dog. The rest, realizing they walked into an ambush, turn to flee, but not before one more dies.

Armed men, a sizeable party, come out of the woods. They wheel up a cart, and load up the corpses. You can hear them conversing.

"What happened to the one they were chasing?"

"We lost him in the woods. Might still be around."

"Well, if you find him, bring him back. Alive, please."

"Well, that makes finding him a lot easier," the leader of the group muses.

"We were going to launch a raid on Philopolis today, but it seems you beat us to the punch. Rather than engage them while the town was on high alert, it seemed more prudent to let them come to us, and take their men out. You... Served a purpose quite well today.

"Hey, boys! Looks like we got us a looter, and this one's a GIRRRRLLL. Whoever brings her to me can have her first, and an extra ration at dinner tonight."

You stand in the outdoors and hardware section of the store. Most of it has been picked clean.

They lead you off into the woods. There's about six of them, plus the cart, full of corpses and their respective loot. Eventually, you end up on a trail, and you follow it to a hidden compound in the wood, erected from wood. A wall lines the perimeter, and there's a watch tower overlooking everything. Inside, you see haggard people thronging about. There are wooden shacks everywhere, and a large fire pit in the middle of the settlement. People flock up to the returning party gleefully. Many are curious to see you with the returning party. Other eye the cart... Hungrily.

"Welcome to the fort. Dinner will be served at six. Feel free to explore around. There's a common lodge over there. Trash runs the town stores, and you're welcome to trade. Lotsa interesting folks at the fire pit too."

You turn around, and head back up the escalator into the clothing section. You hide amongst the racks and debris. From the back of the store, you hear crunching glass and clicking boots. A large man, wearing a motorcycle helmet, boots, and a leather jacket, carrying a small handaxe, appears from around the corner, and starts to walk through the department store. He walks right past your position without noticing your presence.

You make your way through the fort to the town storage. Its a dumpy wooden building. The door is open, and painted on the door is the hours. 10am to 10pm open daily. There's a dirty looking man sitting at a counter, and you can see behind him racks of clothing, human skills wearing different kinds of helmets a la mannequin style. On the wall, there are guns on racks. Also, there's a large storage safe with a combination lock. The man takes a draw off his cigarette as you walk in, and exhales as he studies you looking at his wares.

He stops for a moment, and listens to your pleas for mercy, long enough for you to get up on your feet. And then, you hear, muffled from under the helmet, one word, said as a command.

"Run."

You take off up the escalator. The next level holds a bunch of appliances, and sure enough, as you run through the aisles, you see an old air conditioning unit busted apart, and a pile of copper pipes. You pick them up and hastily stuff them into your backpack, as you hear footfalls storming up the escalator.

The intercom buzzes to life again.

"Attention, shoppers, we have some killer deals today up in home appliances on the third floor. Do you think we could get an extra employee or two to give us a hand?"

Your pursue now stands at the top of the escalator, breathing hard. He sets about searching the store.

You pass so close to him, you can hear him breathing, but you manage to evade him by some stroke of luck, and get to the well of the escalator. You sneak down the stairs, and are back in the clothing department. You break into a run and are now out in the parking lot, making your way back to the strip mall. It seems you have successfully evaded your pursuer.

Lol. K.

You make your way to the campfire. Two people are asleep on the ground beside it. A third stirs a pot of soup. As you approach, he smiles.

"Come for some soup? Here ya go."

He ladels a thin, watery soup into a bowl and hands it to you. Potatoes and noodles and small chunks of meat floating in it. You take a bite, and it's surprisingly delicious. You wolf the rest down

It's a shitty climb. Blood is running down your chest and legs and shoulders. Your skin burns like fire. Every step of the way is an excruciating exercise in pain tolerance and self discipline. But at long last, exhausted and bloody, you drag yourself up onto a catwalk built into the canopy. In the distance you see wood huts. You and Lief proceed into the heart of a small town, composed of tree houses. He points out to you the town warehouse and a community lodge.

"And this is my house. You can crash here if you like. For now, I'm gonna go inside and cook dinner. Do what you will."

You wash the blood of combat off of your body. It's a refreshing experience. You reflect back on the day's experiences and the lessons you have learned of this new type of existence.

You make your way to the lodge. In the hearth glows a fire, and people are sitting around it. An older woman stands up as you enter.

"Oh, you poor thing... Did you just wake up? Come in from the cold, and I'll fetch you some clothes."

She sits you down by the fire, and leaves you with a cup of soup. Momentarily, she returns, with pants and shirt, made from leather. She also brings you a basin full of warm water, and a rag, so you can wash your wounds. She sits down in a chair opposite you, Stokes the fire, and grabs a guitar, very damaged and missing strings, and starts to play a simple rhythm.

You eat, get dressed, and clean your wounds.

"Hey there, name's Cory." He offers his hand for you to shake.

You wake up naked in a field with a rock. You stand up and find yourself in waist high grass in the middle of a clearing. Pine and oak trees line the perimeter, a couple miles out in all directions. The sun is setting in the sky, and you can hear the song of birds and the chitterings of squirrels from the trees. To the West, you see a road, running North to South, not very far away. Due North, you see a town in the distance. A church tower overlooks it. To the South, the road continues into the trees. What do you do?

You two have familiarized yourself with one another, having met in the treetop village of Canopy. The sun is starting to set, coloring the world and
the sky in red and gold. Inside the community lodge, people are gathering for the evening. Some are resting by the fire. Some have produced simple instruments and have started to play music together. At a table in the corner, a game of cards has begun.

No water source is visible, so you make your way into the woods, and find a running stream. It is shallow enough to ford across. There are two calmer pools, where some large fish have stopped and are resting.

>What do you do?

You approach the card table and sit down. The entire table is clad in leather clothes made of hide. The dealer asks for everyone to ante in, and you strip off the clothes you are wearing and put them on the table. Added to the pot, you see a lighter, a pair of binoculars, and an old bottle of soda pop. The dealer deals out cards. He goes around the table, and people change out cards in their hands. You do the same. Then he asks everyone to reveal their hands.
