Tad has a little booklet about how some of the things work. The spark-lite is a really handy tool if you know how to build a fire from kindling even in the wind, if you know how. Which he doesn't.

How the gently caress do you cook outside? What do the servants use to prepare our snacks when we get stoned on our lingerie model fuckbuddy's veranda? They...use a...grill? Yeah! Like one of those sewer grates the poors are fond of sleeping in, but cleaner and over a fire. And she likes to gently caress with them by throwing her vodka on it while it's lit, loving hilarious, fire everywhere.

WAIT A SECOND. Everclear is like Super Vodka. I bet we could set something on fire super fast with it but...but booze...

gently caress it. A shot for me, a shot for the fire and such. Is the plane still on fire? Let's drag an on-fire thing back to the woods and do shots with the fire.

Your nose starts itching. It's not the pollen in the increasingly chill air, its that itch. The ITCH. Oh man, was that a skeleton. You always wanted to rail a line off a human skull and one is right here! Just gotta dig through the ashes and pull that bozo pilot out. RIP fucko. You're alive and he's dead because you're genetically better. Always have been. You set to work digging through the slag and ash, starting at the exposed arm.

DC 30 vs Tad 31- Pass, -30 min, -3g cocaine, + 1/2 pilot skeleton



It takes a bit of digging through whats left but your prize is quickly freed. Out comes most of the pilots skeletal torso. You leave the bones and grab that skull and in a moment its been cleaned off in the pond, wiped on the grass and then a fat line is cut out on the surface. You pull out a crisp 20 and slam that line up your nose as fast as you can say "SEC Fraud". You feel the rush come on. You look down and realize that in your haste you snorted a lot. Way more than you usually do. A lot more. You start to forage for food but the rush hits like a freight train, dissolving that fear in to insane confidence. You feel great, you are great, you're gonna kick the poo poo out of these woods and then get home and come back with like 100 bulldozers and turn this place in to a parking lot. Then you'll drift your GT around that lot and bang some models in that GT. Then you'll get some guns and hunt a bear. Then you'll gently caress a model on a rug made out of that bear because you are a bear, A BEAST! THE BEAST REQUIRES FOOD!

You run around in the dying light of the day in a haze. You need food. NATURE FOOD! You scramble around the tree-line looking for anything like that health food poo poo you saw once or maybe some MEAT!

DC50 Meat vs Tad 61 -Pass
DC30 Berries vs Tad 07 - Fail
DC30 Mushrooms vs Tad 59- Pass, -1 hour


You don't know how, but in the rush of being and AWESOME BEAR MAN you round back to the airplane with your finds.

One half mutilated deer carcass + 40lbs of meat Seriously this thing is torn to shreds but the guts are missing, there aren't too many flies but SOON YOU WILL MASTER FIRE AND THIS BULLSHIT WOODS


+30 Mushrooms gently caress YEAH SHROOMS! They don't look like the type that let you talk to the great Gekko but hey, they look like they type you see in fancy salads sometime


Your high peaks, the Gekko speaks. Fire! The money! Money solves all problems, especially bullshit nature problems! The key is the booze. You make a pile of money, rip a shot and pour one out for your fallen business pals (for the future when you bury them and seize their assets fuckers!!!!). In go some sticks and a big rear end log you think you found. It kinda appeared along with the rocks. Thanks coke fairy you're acquiring the poo poo out of nature! Out comes some ever-clear and you strike a light. Burn baby, Burn!

DC40 vs Tad 71- success, -30min, + campfire!

The Gekko nods then goes back to his heavenly realm of women, coke and money. Investhalla awaits! The waves of the coke high are hitting hard but you're a beast. Your hands shake from the rush of success and you get so hot you strip off that sweater.You're sweating like a beast at least. You gotta feast. How do you cook again?

You think back to that time you had that 3 way in college. With Chad and Karen. You don't like to remember that and quickly switch to the last time you went wild. 6 escorts are nothing for your cash level. But with this much coke.

People assume we stole the deer from some bear or whatever. But the truth is, we killed the deer on our own and are actually covered in its blood right now. Plus there's an antler we can use to skewer it!

You are god of this wood. This domain has been eminent-ed and this bountiful feast offered up as tribute. You are King Bear and you demand the smell of roasting meat.

Cooking DC 30 vs Tad 91- Success - meat cooked 25%

You think back to that time you were stuck out on your fathers two hundred foot mega yacht and the sun cover broke. You had two servants stand up the shade while you huffed ether from that one chicks.... YES A SERVANT. You quickly take the arm bones of the pilot and prop up the side of deer over the fire. The meat sizzles and snaps as the heat roasts the tender flesh while the skin keeps in the smokey flavor which itself is beginning to crackle and fry in its own juices.



Bonfire DC 30 vs Tad 25- failure, -30 min , +2 hours firewood

Good meat takes time, but a hotter fire means faster cooking. You are king and a king requires a bonfire no less. You have mastered the flame, much like international monetary regulations and bribery. You take a good lap around the woods in the dying light but you only find some sticks and a small log enough to keep the fire going but not for massive bonfire. Maybe a few more hours.

You have time now. The high begins to wear down but you have enough power left in your royal frame to climb the nearest tree and scout the surroundings. You leap like an animal up into the branches.

Climb DC25 vs Tad 79 - Success -30 min, +1 map scout

FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH BABY! You arms, while not swollen with huge mass have been honed with the work of the best trainers and the finest pharmaceuticals. You clamber up the tree about 20 feet and scope out the local wilderness. You take out the pencil and paper and make a quick sketch of the area. There's a mountain to the east that climbs up slowly for quite a distance, what looks like a small river to the north east and something odd sticks out to the north-west. Judging distance is a crap shoot but you guess the river and oddity are about a mile-mile and a half off through thick forest.


Your rendering isn't too great as your hand begins to shake a little and it becomes harder to hold the pencil. Its almost like your fingers a numb or something. You shiver, and you don't stop. Its the come down and it's angry. Your throat tightens and feels like you just downed a bucket of sand. Arms that once radiated strength now feel like limp noodles. The last rays of sunlight dip below the horizon and long shadows grow from the forest trying to fight your meager campfire. It feels cold. It's really cold. The shirt on your chest is soaked with sweat and the wind bites into your skin. The smell of roasting meat rises through the air mockingly.

You are 20 feet in the air and are coming down from a cocaine overdose as the sun sets and the cold rushes in
