Day 13 Plot advancement at last A bit of a hefty update today, so let's get started. You guys decided to search the hanged man, so lets get started with that.   Well, that was a terrible choice, we got 4 Fabric we can't use yet, and a Cursed Fiance Ring (-20% Fatigue, + 10% Depression). Julia also leveled up and got 12 skill-points, so I put them all into Scavenging. This way, she should get better results from jungle scavenging, and can help gather for the cook-pot. Yuri is needed to gather, so he gets our last Ginseng Juice to get him in fighting form. AM Tasks Illyana - Rest Jacob & Bob Fish (Result 9x fish) Al & Winters Harvest fruit (Result 6x fruit 4x gets juiced for water) Yuri& Julia Gather randomly (Result 4x wood, 2x stone, 2x rope, 1x herb) Alice Explore (Results Levels up and finds a Swan and Owl)   I wonder what happens if Julia goes closer?  Well, it looks like I can't back out of it now. Julia is the master of stealth, so lets go with that and see what happens.  We could use the food, and Julia seems to have a good shot at it, so lets see if we can kill two birds with one stone (both literally and metaphorically)   Score! We feast tonight! Now that we have the items from the Jungle, let's see if the blue lady wants any of them.  It seems like the best gift would be the bow and arrow, so lets see if she wants that.   Darn. It looks like gifts of ranged weapons are not the way to a woman's heart. It looks like Julia is not the strange blue woman's type, so I suppose the only other option is to try boning her (so to speak).  I can't believe that worked. Let's get this plot dump going.      So much talking and so little actual information. At least we got a cool item out of it. The Fire Crystal is another one of the odd mystical items and it gives -20% to all negative states. We will probably be using this to keep our best workers from needing to waste time resting. PM Tasks Julia, Bob, & Jacob Chat. Yet again, we learn something embarrassing about Bob.  Unfortunately, we already have Julia to do our stealth jobs, so this is probably not going to be too useful. Illyana Research (Result 100% completion)   It looks like we have another option for food. Hunting brings in a more consistent amount of food, but it causes injury instead of depression. Right now, we do not have an easy way to treat injuries, so this is probably not something we want right now. Plus, once we get the cook-pot going, we will be able to process the fish into healthy, nutritious meals that should be enough to sustain us. Winters - Harvest fruit (Result 3x fruit) Al & Yuri Gather Rope (Result 3 rope) Alice Explore (Result 60% explored the next zone) Night           Crud. A whole 20% fatigue to everyone. That is going to put a major damper on tomorrow's activities. At least fatigue is easy to treat. Current Goals:  A little more rope and we will be 2/3's of the way to the cook-pot. Of course, we will still need to construct it afterwards, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Current Status:  With that rotten night last night, plus all that raw food, everyone is looking pretty shabby. Hopefully, we will be able to heal up tomorrow and start searching for this Johnny fellow.

You know, I think I like Julia more than Bob. At least she has brains and doesn't blame others for problems in her past or make up excuses to not like someone for no real reason. Hell, Even Jacob is a better person because he is at least honest with how he acts, unless he is talking to Bob, but I can understand that lol. Basically between Bobs actions and his traits, he is a worse person than these two.

Day 14 Too Weak / Two Weeks After the rotten night last night, I doubt if we will get much work out of our sorry lot, but hopefully we can get the bare essentials done while everyone else lounges around. Al just leveled up, so he gets +5 to both Constitution and Scavenging, and I need to throw a log on the fire to keep our fire going. It looks like I will need to dip into our item stash to get us going. Julia is a bit too sick from the hanged man for our herb supply to cure so she gets a Healing Water, and Yuri gets a Fire Crystal to get him back in shape faster. Alice & Jacob are at 3% sickness, so they each get a Healing Herb to bring them down to 0. I did not want to waste the herbs on the others, since the herbs always restore a flat 3%. AM Tasks Winters, Julia, Al Rest Alice & Yuri Chat (the other three had higher fatigue, plus Yuri is pretty depressed and could use someone to talk to). It seems that all this talking has Alice showing us something that we already know.  Unfortunately, just being caring won't help us much on this brutal island. We cannot use the Medicine skill yet, and Winters already has a massive head-start on that skill, so she will most likely do all our healing tasks. Yuri manages to increase his discussion during the chat and level up, and all 6 of his skill-points go into scavenging to help us get that cook-pot sooner. Illyana Research (Result 12% completion) Jacob & Bob Fish (Result 3x fish)  Come on guys! If we had two fish and five loves of bread this might stretch, but this will not cut it. You guys are going to stay on that beach until there is enough to go around. PM Tasks Alice, Julia, Illyana Rest Winters - Harvest fruit (Result 5x fruit) Al & Yuri Gather wood (Result 6x wood) Jacob & Bob Fish (Result 7x fish)  Now that is more like it. You can come back into camp now. Night     This kind of caring is helpful. Winters was not one of our higher depression people, but every little bit helps. Current Goals:  We are a little bit closer to our goal. We should need one more session for the rope, and two more for the wood, so we should be able to start crafting in two days. Current Skills & Status:   Those ten fish took most of our hunger off, but we are starting to feel some of the negative effects. We only have two herbs left to treat sickness, so we may just need to let some of that sickness linger for a bit. Weekly Relationship Update:         No major changes to the relationships. Yuri and Illyana are close, as are Alice and Bob. Julia and Illyana hate each other, and Jacob hates nearly everyone.

Day 15 Camping Before we get the day going, we have to get our morning chores done. Three of the fruit from yesterday get juiced to keep us hydrated, and 2 wood go onto the fire to keep us warm. We are down to our last two healing herbs, so I give them to Bob and Al. AM Tasks Winters, Yuri Rest Julia & Jacob Jacob is getting really depressed from the fishing, so these two will Chat. We also find out a little bit more about Julia.  Not bad. She will not be researching, or using the medicine skill, but this does help out with discussion and the raw intelligence skill. Illyana Research (Result 20% completion) Bob Fish (Result 5x fish) Al Gather for the cookpot. The game lets us see the possible outcomes when we assign people to a task, so we can optimize our gathering.  If I had Al gather rope, he would only get 0-3, so we would need to have an additional gathering session to get the fourth piece we need for the cookpot.  By setting him to get wood, we don't waste any time. (Result 5x wood) Alice Explore (Result found an abandoned camp)   I wonder if this is Johnny's camp? Let's have Julia poke around and find out.   This will give us a full three days of water for our gang. That saves us about ten fruit that can now eat instead of drink.  Not as hydrating, but definitely more pleasant. These are our only antidepressants right now, so they will go straight to Bob and Jacob so that they can fish all day today.  This decoy is the Hunting booster. If we build the hunting gear, we can use this to give someone a +5 to their hunting skill.  Johnny? Is that you? I hope there is a good reason for why Julia took this. Maybe the item description can help us out some.  Nope. It looks like Julia is just starting up a collection. I guess we will just stuff it in the trunk between the rum and the smelly cheese PM Tasks Al Rest Illyana Research (Result 28% completion) Winters - Harvest fruit (Result 5x fruit, and levels up) Yuri & Julia Gather rope (Result 5x) Jacob & Bob Fish (Result 3x fish) Alice Explore (Result 80% completion on the next zone) Night     Perfect! Since fishing has been depressing Bob, this will keep him going all day tomorrow. Current Goals:  We are almost there. If we have Al and Yuri gather wood tomorrow morning, we should have enough to start building in the afternoon. Current Map & Status:   We are starting to get to the north part of the island, so we should be pretty close to Johnny, whoever or whatever that is.

Day 16 Meet/meat cute Winters has some skillpoints left over from yesterday, so I put 5 into exploration, and 6 into harvesting. I also need to send one wood to its fiery doom to ensure our survival. There is an achievement for letting your fire go out, but you really need to slack off in order to get it. AM Tasks Illyana, Alice Rest Julia & Jacob Chat  Like any alternative medicine fan, Jacob is more than willing to let everyone around him know his beliefs on modern medicine. This is a completely pointless trait, as Jacob has terrible medical skill, and we will not even be able to use the skill at all for quite some time. Bob Fish (Result 6x fish, and levels up) With his boosted intelligence, he gets 8 skillpoints. I put 4 into fishing, and 4 into discussion so he can lower his piscine induced madness faster. Al & Yuri Gather wood for the cookpot. (Result 6x wood) Two wood short of our goal. No worries. If we gather some more in the PM, then we will probably have some left over for firewood. Winters She will finish exploring the area Alice found yesterday (Result found a cute animal)   Awww, How adorable! How delicious! Is that a fennec fox? Is it friendly? Is is edible? The questions are too much for me, so you lot will need to decide this for me. PM Tasks Winters & Yuri Rest Julia & Jacob Chat Illyana Research (Result 37% completion) Bob Fish (Result 2x fish) Al - Gather wood(Result 4x wood) Alice Explore (Result found a spooky dark corner)   This is too spooky for me to handle, so I will let you guys choose this. Night            Another anniversary, another depressing argument. I must admit it amused me for someone to call a person named Winters an ice queen. Current Goals:  Now all we need to do is assemble this thing. Of course, this ain't IKEA here, so we do not have the luxury of instructions and a free allen wrench, so it might take a while to put together. Current Status:  Nothing too bad. Alice is hungry due to her Bulimia trait cutting into her nutrition, and Illyana has built up a bit of depression from last night. We also need to decide what we want to do with the cute animal and the spooky hole in the ground.

Well, Alice's friendliness didn't last long. Also Jacob is fitting the  stereotype to a T, great work there.Befriend the cute animal (we likely can't eat it later if we need to but a pet would still be good for these depressing chats). Search the hole.

Day 17 Illyana's jungle adventure Well, the vote was to send a depressed person to befriend the fox, so I think that Illyana could use it after last night.  Wrong animal Illyana. The one you want only has one head.  Man, she cannot catch a break today. Hopefully we managed to find something nice after all that.  Nope. It looks like we actually lost an herb from that event. Maybe Julia will have better luck with the spiders.   Since we are already hungry, I split the sprouts evenly between Alice, Winters, Jacob, & Al.  I don't think that these are the kind of mushrooms that go on pizza. They will give -20% depression, but will cause +10% sickness. Since depression is a lot easier to cure than sickness, these are fairly worthless. AM Tasks Illyana, Al Rest Julia & Bob Chat Jacob Fish  I wonder if he is using homeopathic fishing bait. Yuri & Winters Craft the cookpot. (Result 24%) Alice Explore (Result found a lost backpack)   Since there is only the one option, I will send Julia in as usual.   We need Yuri, Al, Alice, & Winters in peak condition for work, so these 4x Ginseng will go straight down their gullets.  There is no point to these meals being non-perishable, as we will be eating them ASAP.  It is a bit of a waste to give this to Alice, since her Hiking Fan skill boosts her skill gain, but I want her skill maxed out to find new locations quicker. PM Tasks Yuri & Illyana Craft the cookpot. Illyana has a low Crafting skill, but her good relationship with her dad makes this pairing the most efficient one (Result 51%) Jacob & Bob Fish  See Jacob, the use of modern scientific methods gives much better results. Winters Harvest fruit (Result 5x fruit) Julia & Al - Gather herbs for our sickness (Result 4x herbs) Alice Explore (Result found a mushroom circle)   I don't know which is worse, eating weird mushrooms in the middle of the bizzaro forest, or bringing them back to share with everyone. If there are any mycologists in the audience, now is your time to shine. Night     Ok, this is getting weird. I have never seen Alice trigger this many events in a row. Maybe it triggered because of Illyana gaining so much depression? Current Status:  We just need to keep our sickness down, as it can spiral out of control when it starts increasing on its own. I will probably also give some painkillers to Illyana to treat all those animal bites she got today. Current Goals:  If this pace keeps up, we will finish with the cookpot tomorrow. We also need to decide what to do with the mushroom circle in the jungle.

Day 18 Nearly there Before we send someone into the realm of Tνr na nΣg, we should heal everyone up a bit. Illyana is looking a bit shabby, so she gets a Miracle Potion. Our last four herbs go to Jacob, Bob, Winters, & Alice. After ritualistically stating the non-existence of fairies, we send our most crotchety castaway to deal with the mystery of the fey.  He has a high knowledge, and a decent stealth skill, so he is a good choice for this mission.   It is pretty obvious that we would find weird mushrooms in a weird mushroom patch, but I hope Jacob puts his knowledge to better use than just that. Otherwise, his only accomplishment will be doubling our supply of useless happy mushrooms.  Score! It looks like he also scrounged up some shiitake, matsutake, and even a couple of truffles. We will eat well tonight. AM Tasks Julia Rest Jacob & Bob Chat Yuri & Illyana Craft the cookpot. (Result 81% complete) Al & Winters Our fire is almost out, so they will gather some wood (Result 7x wood, four of which go straight into the flames) Alice Explore (Result 66% complete) PM Tasks Alice & Illyana Rest Al & Winters - Chat Yuri He should be able to finish this on his own, so he will work on the cookpot. (Result 96% complete) Jacob & Bob Fish (Result 10x fish) Julia Explore (Result found drying clothes)   I wonder if these belong to the strange blue woman. Maybe she was only naked because it was her laundry day. I am not sure what we would do with new clothes, but fabric is not something that we can use for anything right now. I guess it is up to you guys to choose. Night             I am beginning to think that Yuri only speaks in random Wikiquotes. Since we will be able to cook tomorrow, I saved 7 of the fish from the huge haul today, and only 3 decayed into barely edible stuff. I am hoping that the increased nutrition from the cooked meals will offset the rotted fish. Current Status:  Jacob and Bob are a bit depressed, but once we get the cookpot, we will be able to provide more nutrition for less fishing time. Current Goals:  The fact that we will only have the cookpot in the afternoon is not that big of an drawback. If we fish in the afternoon, then we will not be able to cook the catch before nightfall, so we would be forced to eat them raw or let some rot over night. By fishing in the morning and cooking in the afternoon, we will ensure that all the fish will get cooked. We also need to decide on what to do with the lost laundry that we found flapping in the breeze.

Day 19 Now we're cooking! The decision the thread made was to to get something useful out of these terribly out of date clothes. Julia, you are up again.   More useless fabric. Hopefully we will get a recipe that uses it soon.  I wonder how we found a camouflage cloak. If it was a real camouflage cloak than you would think that it should be harder to find than that. Let's see what the inventory says about it.  It looks a bit more like a ratty raincoat to me, but it has been a while since I saw the movies. AM Tasks Julia Rest Jacob & Yuri Chat. It looks like Jacob has more secrets to share.  Normally this would be great, as Constitution helps determine fatigue gain and recovery, but Jacob mostly fishes, which only increases depression. Al Craft the cookpot. (Result 100% complete)  Finally! Now we can have one person cook up meat and fish into the various prepared meals that we used to scavenge from the airplane. Since Yuri has the highest cooking skill, he will take the lead. As such, I give him the spices we have been hoarding to boost his skill by 5 points. Illyana Research (Result 45% complete) Bob Fish (Result 3x fish) Winters Our water is starting to run low, so she is back to gathering fruit (Result 6x fruit, 3 get juiced) Alice Explore (Result found seaweed)   I am not sure if there is much of a choice here. If I had to pick between heading back to camp for Yuri's fish fry or eating raw seaweed off the beach, I know which one I would go for. But I will leave it up to you guys. PM Tasks Winters - Rest Jacob & Bob Chat (no traits this time, but Jacob levels up) Illyana Research (Result 58% complete) Yuri Cook our seven fresh fish.   This is very useful, as the food is now healthier and more filling. For example, here are the stats for the different food items from today: Fish 8-12% hunger +0-2% sickness Meal (two stars) - 10-20% Tasty Meal (three star) - 20-30% And as Yuri gets better at cooking, he will make more Tasty Meals, and less boring two-star meals. Al & Winters Gather herbs (Result - 3x medicinal plants) Alice Explore (Result found bones)   I suppose that we can let Julia add to her collection.  This adds a bit to her depression, but she doesn't do any fishing, so her depression is not an issue.  Yep, you guessed it. Another skull.  At least the healing water will help get rid of the last few points of sickness. Night          It seems like these two are on a first name basis now. It looks like that massage did the trick. Current Status:  Now that we can cook, hunger is less of an issue, and we can start eliminating our sickness. Current Goals:  Find Johnny somewhere in the northwest jungle. We also need to decide what to do with that random lump of seaweed on the beach.

Search the seaweed. I guess you could hypothetically use it as garnish for sushi but it doesn't seem very palatable by itself.

Seems like you've actually got a decent shot at making it through the day without further explorations now that you can cook food . Though of course you'll want to keep exploring.

Day 20 Ginseng party You guys decided to pass up a yummy meal of seaweed, so let's see what you get instead.   I am not sure why there is an ancient mystical artifact in a random pile of seaweed, but I am not complaining about it. Jacob still has his skillpoints from yesterday, so I give him 5 discussion, 4 fishing. Since sickness affects food skills, I split the three herbs from yesterday between Jacob and Bob. Bob is cured, but Jacob still has a little sniffle. We can deal with that in the afternoon. AM Tasks Julia, Illyana, Yuri Rest Jacob & Bob Fish (Result 2x fish) Al & Winters Gather herbs (Result 2x herbs) Alice Explore (Result found grapes)   Well, it was low risk but low reward. We were running low on water, so this saves us a bit of gathering time. Before we go to the afternoon, we have enough healing items now to eradicate the sickness from everyone in the camp. Yuri & Jacob only have a tiny amount of sickness, so they each get an herb. (-3% Sickness) Illyana, Julia, & Winters are worse off on sickness, but do not have any other problems, so they get healing waters. (-20% Sickness) Al could use a bit of a pickup, so he gets the Miracle Potion. (-10% all hazards) Alice has the highest maluses, so she gets our Fire Crystal. (-20% all hazards) Now that everyone has 0% sickness, it will never increase unless we get it from an event or start eating raw meat again. PM Tasks Julia, Jacob & Bob Chat  Since Julia is our designated adventurer, this is great for healing up after the odd monster attack when her stealth fails her. Illyana Research (Result 68% complete) Yuri Cook (Result 9x fish become 7x Tasty Meals, 2x generic Meals) Al & Winters Gather wood (Result - 8x wood) Alice Explore (Result only 93%, but levels up and gains 7 skillpoints) Night           I am fairly certain that ginseng is non-alcoholic, but perhaps this is Al's special recipe. Whatever it is, I think Illyana may be below the legal age for it. Current Status:  Current Goals:  We could build the hunting gear, but we are doing pretty good with just fish. Alternately, we could save our resources for whatever project Illyana is researching.  We have to be getting close to 'Johnny'. You can't get much more northwest than this. Current Jobs- Harvesting fruit (2 people max) Craft (2 people max) Research (2 people max) Rest (3 people max) Chat (no max) Explore (3 people max) Scavenging Wood/Rope/Stone/Herbs (2 people max) Fishing (2 people max) Cook (1 person max) Current Items- 3x Medicinal Herbs (-3% Sickness) 2x Painkillers (-20% Injury) 1x Ancient Knowledge (+1 to all Skills) 1x First Aid Mag. (+5 Medicine) 1x Empty Bottle 3x Drugs Cures sickness, but cannot use without the proper tech Smelly Cheese (-20% Hunger, + 10% Sickness) 3x Bandage - Cures injury, but cannot use without the proper tech 2x Rum (+/-10% Hunger, Sickness, & Depression) 1x Cursed Fiance Ring (-20% Fatigue, + 10% Depression) [s]Fire crystal (-20% to all negative states) 1x Decoy (+5 Hunting) 2x Skull (???) 6x Happy mushrooms (-20% depression, +10% sickness) 1x Camouflage Cloak (+5 stealth) Misc crafting materials

She said Aphrodisiac, not Alcoholic. Aphrodisiac is basically something that makes you horny. Unless you are talking about how everyone is acting. Also, I think now that since you are good on food for a bit with the cooked fish and can get water from fruit spend some time building up a reserve of building supplies before starting to make anymore projects unless to one you get from Current research is one you already have enough for.

And the only explorable terrain on the island are the outlined squares, right? Whether they're full of fog or outlined in color? Because there are some stretches of coast and such northwest of the squares you've got, but they're not fogged over and therefore, I assume, unexplorable.
