A group of tourists are on a canoe trip down dangerous areas of the Amazon River. The guide makes a miscalculation and the canoes are shredded in the rapids. Through a stroke of amazing luck, the tourists get out safely. But the guide is unconscious and badly wounded. Will these tourists survive? What if YOU are the tourists?

Thank you.

"LOOK OUT!" "STEER, STUPID!" "WAAAA!" These were the sounds of the 6 castaways, suddenly stranded in the middle of Nowhere. The castaways empty their wet, soggy pockets and find a compass, wet matches, a candy bar, and a half-empty aresol can of Bug-Away. The poor castaways see a log, some overhanging vines, a couple small plants, and some tall tropical trees in the surrounding area next to the raging rapids of the Amazon River. The guide is badly hurt. What will these castaways do first to survive?

 

[CivCube]

I'm going to go root around in the smashed-up boats. Check how bad the guide's wounds are.

Ummmm. No. Yeah, yeah I'm no fun.

All the boats either floated down the river or were cut in half. The only thing you find is Professor Perfection's botany book, a pack of wet matches, and a candy bar. The guide legs have deep cuts and are bleeding pretty bad. His hands are horribly scratched and his face was bruised on the rocks.

 

[Thrawn]

If the plants and vines check out to not be poisonous, I'd like to get them. Could use them to attempt to stop the guide bleeding, if not, well they should come in handy somewhere.

 

[Perfection]

I'd think using textiles would help stop the bleeding better

The real question is how can we help prevent the spread of infection, we don't want him getting gangreene on us!

Still we better grab whatever remains of the boats we can. We could fashion crude tools from any metal componants, metal makes a much better cutting tool then trying to work stone. Plus we may need a fire, and cutting down trees would be exhaustive (especially without metal tools) also it would be green-wood and not burn as well. (Unless there is some good dead trees we can cut)

 

[CivCube]

In the meantime, I'll start doing jumping jacks. Be prepared, my scout leader always said.

 

[WildFire]

I'll build stuff.

(and launch my nuke?)

 

[Superevie]

I'm going to frolic on the beach in slow-motion to entertain the other stressed out castaways.

 

[puglover]

Perfection rips off some of his sleeve to wrap around the guide's leg. This stops the bleeding. But the sleeve won't last too long.

Sydney fails to entertain the castaways because in the middle of her frolic, she trips over a weird-shaped stone. It appears to be buried in the ground with a little bit sticking out. There also appears to be a strange symbol on the rock.

Seymour builds.... something. Turns out, he has just built a good bandage out of vine material, textile, and human hair. (I'm going easy on you this time. Next time be more specific. )

Cube does jumping jacks and is now warmed-up and ready to work.

A piece of aluminum from one of the canoes is recovered. A large piece is stuck on a rock on the other side of the rapids. If you could find a way to get to the other side...
