Eh, I always thought I'd be the one jumping out of planes.

I'm confused as to the above statement.

Look around randomly, hoping to find something of importance.
lolz, this is the second time I've looked around...

FoiL (5) Andrew Rodrigues
As the Raft drifts closer, Andrew figures he'd better be ready for anything, and thus needs to fix himself up a bit. Grimacing, he grabs his nose with a finger-and-thumb and 'bends' it from one side to the other (Imagine like what Jack Sparrow did in Pirates), practically re-aligning it. Then the Raft grounds itself on the bank.

Ociamarru (5+2=6) Vladimir Ivanov
""Eef zehr eeze a god...may he be weeth me tewdey.""
Vlad dips the Biplane to the right, levels out quickly and locks the joystick. He stands up from his seat as the Biplane passes about the one third mark of the clearing, takes a deep breath and dives over the side of the cockpit.
Time seems to slow.
He falls down towards the lower wing, reaching out his hands to slow him down. As his palms touch the wing he lets his body roll over and onto his back. His momentum carries him through the somersault and his feet touch down. He springs out as hard as he can, again in mid-air, and sees a frozen - or very slow moving - and shocked Kyle lying chest-first on the ground. Vlad floats through the air, almost relaxed, and then the ground comes up to greet him.
SLAM
That's not a very nice greeting. The last thing Vlad can remember is the world spinning out of control in front of his eyes, and then only blackness.

HighEndNoob (3+1=4) Kyle Berguard
Kyle watches as Vlad guides the Biplane closer to the trees then dives lower into the clearing. He watches as Vlad climbs up and dives over the side of the cockpit. He watches as the Biplane suddenly wobbles as it flies toward him. He doesn't want to watch any more.
Kyle turns and dives onto his chest just as the Biplane roars over his head. He looks up in time to see Vlad tumbling through the air, crash into the ground and roll, like, 15 feet. When he stops rolling he lifts his head a fraction then lets it fall back onto the ground. Kyle looks back to the Biplane as it hits the trees on the other side and explodes in a great fireball and associated shockwave.

Game Events
It is about 5pm

CURRENT SUB / OBJECTIVES:
Find the Fabled Tree - through the swamp and past the mountain ridge.

If there are any hostiles left at the battlefield that explosion, and the fact the plane was in plain view, would have surely disclosed your position, I suggest moving to a safer location/wake him up and then moving to a safer location.

Why don't you shut up and let them play >:(?

User was warned for this post.

I was just noting a very likely possibility and a solution for it, so relax. It's not like I ruined the adventure part of the game, I only suggested something that will let them live longer seeing as they are in the middle of a clearing and are exposed.

Back up comp busted as well -_-
Now I have my main comp up, and it doesn't seem like its gunna break anytime soon. Sorry about that guys.


If I am to assume that the brown lines on the map are dirt roads, then:
Follow the road to the clearing.

FoiL (5) Andrew Rodrigues
"We need to haul ass people, I sense something strange in the distance"
After speaking his words of wisdom, Andrew turns and jogs toward Asfer. As he gets closer, Asfer speaks up:

Ociamarru (2) Vladimir Ivanov
Vlad floats around in his mind; a subconscious version of the world around him. He sees snatches of past events, especially those when he was around animals or was experienced his sense of slow motion. Something clicks in the back of his head, but he's not sure what. Someone yelling is mixed in with these dream-sequences. The pictures start to get jumbled and bounce around. This is very unpleasant.
