Into the Aberdeen---Bismarck Wilds

I slow down, slightly agitated and feeling impatient. "We have to get to Bismarck as soon as possible. I still don't know how long we were out for, it may have been days. All I know is that we can't be late for our first crawl as a team,"

"I agree, but we can't continue on without a little bit of rest."

"I want to get there as much as you do, but we need to make sure we get their alive."

I try mustering up some strength to pick the box back up but I fail. Struggling, I hoist the box back up and fall over with the weight. "My arms just can't anymore.. I've been trudging on with this box for 4 hours.. as we all have been..I think it's necessary that we at least take a break, not necessarily sleeping.. but relaxing.?"

"Like you said, we don't know how long we've been out and none of use has any food sense we got on the train. I strongly suggest we make a camp for enough time for some of us to rest while I try to get us some food."

I glance about, agitagtion growing, I sigh and set my things down. "Fine, we take a break, but we go after thirty minutes"

"Thank you, Natalaya..." I say looking at her and I smile weakly...

"Okay," I say with relief "We should try to make some beds out of all the clothing we have, then .... " I go on giving everyone tips on how to survive in this environment, then I go hunting.

"I guess we shall rest for tonight."

With Kirt's advice, the party seems to be able to hold up while he goes off for roughly 15 minutes. He returns dragging a bison with him. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a very meaty one, but enough to satisfy the party's hunger. No water was found.

"I hope we can survive witout any water."

"We'll do fine for now,"I say, getting ready to build a small cooking fire (if I needed to roll for the success of a fire- natural 20 )

Plus, thanks to Kirt's survival tips, you get a roaring fire despite the small amount of wood you had. It should burn long enough to cook 5 bison!

I raise my hands up and shout, "FOOOOOD!"

I raise my fist up in triumph as I lay on the ground. My stomach rumbles.

"You're welcome." I laugh to my self.

After some time, the bison cooks to a fine pink and juicy readiness. The smell is ever so alluring, and there's plenty to go around!

I rip off some meat and begin eating. "Thank you Kirtus."

I awake from my partial nodding off from exhaustion and hunger to smell the fresh meat. "Mmmm..." I get up and walk over to it and rip some off. I smile. "Kirt, you've made my stomach very happy." I laugh and rub it as I chew.

I smile, then eat. I am continuously checking the sky and trying to figure the time.

"I think that might be the nicest thing you've ever said to me." As I take my share of the meat with a side of sarcasm.

Looking up, it appears as though the sun is working it's way down. The daylight still remains, but most likely not for any more than 2 hours.

"You're welcome Gwen's stomach!" Sarcasm x2 combo.

Partaking your food portions, all seems quite well. A slight...slimey aftertaste follows the meal, along with some rough digestion, but going down...it was quite enjoyable for everyone.

"I suppose that we should just put up shelter before it gets too dark." I sigh, disheartened at the fact that we did not cover more ground.

(We can...just skip from here...it's getting a little too...play-by-playish. XD That is unless someone wants to have a campfire talk or something.)

I look up noticing the light fading. "I agree."

(sounds good to me)

(I wish we had a bard right about now.. XD)

( I kind of want to have our characters to talk over the fire, but this session has been dragging out, and it's not like we wont have character bonding opportunities later in the campaign, so I'm good either way. )

Alright. So after a good 8 hour rest. (Not the most comfortable, due to only having clothing as a bed.) You all awaken to the new morning before the sun manages to even rise.

I arise as quickly as possible, stamping out whatever may be left of the fire, packing my things put as I go.

I awake to the sound of stirring, I sit up and stretch, cracking my stiff limbs and observe Natalya getting ready to leave. "Goodmorning." I say with a smile.

"Okay, I get it, Natalya. We need to get going, you don't have to maul the fire with your boots." I groggily say as I roll out of my bed of strangers' clothes.

I slowly get off of the clothes and shove them in one of my suitcases. "Everyone nearly ready yet?

I purse my lips in response, but continue getting my things ready. Once done, I look around, waiting for the others silently.

"Goodmorning young lady!" I say as I close the suitcase I was packing.

Ok, the only thing I have to say for you guys is...it is...still pitch black out.

(low-light vision ;P)

(Except it's pitch black..Low-light.. is low-light..there is..no light. I am a poet, and I was very unaware.)

I try to make torches out of sticks, clothes, and any remaining embers.

You make a successful light that burns quite bright. You now have the power to fight...(The darkness)

Your party travels on the path, despite the dark night before you. As you continue on, a light buzzing noise emits from above, however you cannot see or tell the source. All you can guess is some sort of tree insects being obnoxious. Roughly 2 hours later, you reach a fork. Unfortunately, nobody was kind enough to put a sign here. One goes forward, while the other takes a left.

"Should I flip a coin again?" I say jokingly.
