>climb a hill or a vantage point where you can get a good look at most of the island

A quick assessment of the area reveals that the forest stretches off into the north and east with a bay or lake in between. The path to the north is flat and stretches off quite a way. The east path is very hilly and Sky can't see far.

After spending the better part of the day piling up branches to create a makeshift shelter in the undergrowth, Sky tries to build a fire, but fails. Using kindling that's soaking wet from gale force storms is a hindrance, and there is apparently more technique to it than just rubbing sticks together.
Getting properly dry is going to require patience.

>search for food

Sky begins to hunger after shuffling around in the woods and has to consider options;

A)Forage for plantlife
B)Try to catch fish
C)Eat crappy bread
D)Something else

>>977583
The hills gives you field of vision, but the forests may have more resources. The lake or river gives you a water source.

>>977584
You need fire to eat fish properly, so try foraging.

Also put some branches somewhere they can dry off.

Do you know how to recognize edible wild fruits?
Might as well try and risk A.

Go foraging for sandwich ingredients. Make a pointy stick first. For foraging, of course.

>>977584
>no fire
Oh yeah everything is wet, right.
See if you can find a decent-sized flatish rock to put the firewood on to dry in the sun, as well as some grass. Also yeah rubbing sticks together sucks, but maybe if you find some flint you can use it with that manacle there to produce sparks.

I wonder if the kindling will dry enough after we finish hunting for fish. I'd rather not risk eating something poisonous and just go fishing and wait paitently for the stuff to dry. Gotta have patience. I choose B

>>977593
Bold of you to assume the fish won't be poisonous/venomous/hazardous.

>>977584
See if you can find a fresh water source.

A) Find some juicy fruit that's totally not a tentacle trap.

C)Eat crappy bread

C: You are in possession of perishable victuals. Eat 'em.

The sun continues to sink as Sky tries to find any fruits or vegetables lying around in the forest. After searching to no avail for some time, she stumbles across a very large spider in the underbrush.

Its nutritional value is questionable.

Play dead. I'm sure it will leave you alone.

Throw your shirt and/or pants over its head to blind it, then strike it down.

>>977819
I think at this point you should run away.

Attempt to make friends with spider

Leave it alone, it might not even be agresive.

You realize it's insides are literally all slime, right?
You won't be able stomach it without fire to cook it.

haha, no.

You ain't desperate enough yet to fight a giant spider while naked with only a stick just so you MIGHT be able to eat it. You got bread back at camp and as crappy as it is it well probably still be better then raw spider guts.

Sky backs away slowly and sneaks away from the giant monster arachnid, slipping back to her shelter to chew on hard, flavorless bread.

While carefully avoiding breaking a tooth, she thinks on how the landscape is laid out and whether she should move somewhere else.

A}Move North
B}Move East
C}Give up and start trying to build a permanent settlement thirty feet from shore
D}Something else

Where on the map are we?

A) Move North

>>977882
Move east, closer to the presumably fresh water source. Maybe you can find some flint in the hilly area.

Hmmm, if the East has drinking water, let's go there.

Actually, east sounds better. Or north-east. Gotta check if the water on the other side is salty or not. Then you could soften the bread with it heh.

>>977882
Where is the river? Just head upriver, wherever that is.

East for fresh water.
Hopefully, the firewood isn't wet anymore and we can heat the water to keep from getting sick.

probably best to move closer to the fresh water source. also try to stick close to that river you saw when you ran ashore as running water tends to be safer to drink.

>>977900
This. This right here. It will lead to higher ground, and cleaner water.

>>977914
Changing my vote to this
but still bring the firewood and check if it is dry enough yet.

>>977882
The jungle is full of nasty creepy crawlies, best bet is to set up shop right on the beach.

Go east, follow the shore and see if you find more land or more ocean.

Packing up her bread and stick, Sky heads east along the river into the hills. After getting a little roughed up from traveling through the rough terrain, she emerges from the woods late the next day onto a rolling plain. The land starts to become mountainous nearby, the hills transitioning into rocky peaks further on.

Darkness is beginning to fall. Sky tries hitting rocks on her manacle to make sparks, but none of them seem to be the right kind.

See if any of those three caves are unoccupied and sleep for the night in one if you get lucky. Also be ready to flee from bears, bats, cave oozes, etc.

Check out those caves. Avoid those that go deeper in, since you can't tell if they're safe.

go to skull mountain and see if that would be a good spot to set up a base.

>>977954
Yee.

After a bit of a hike downstream, Sky reaches the foothills and finds a large mouthed cave that isn't excessively sheltered, but is open enough to allow light in, unlike the other caves that honeycomb the mountain nearby.

She still can't find any rocks that make sparks.

Sky has time to do one thing before it gets dark;

A)Try to find flint to start a fire
B)Try to start a fire by rubbing sticks together
C)Gather up leaves and sticks to sleep in under the assumption that fire building will inevitably fail
D)Something else

C) Leaves will guarantee heat, rocks won't. Besides, you can use them as kindling when they dry up.

>>978024
A. Because it's portable, whereas the other options aren't really. Also you need flint to make tools.

D) Inspect your breasts

C) Sticks and leaves. The pile will slowly give off heat and works as camo from predators.

Option B.

Put in that elbow grease!

B. Make a fire plough. That is probably the easiest way (relatively speaking).

>>978027
We can make stone tools out of other types of stone. Coarse grained stone can be ground into the shape we want and other fine grained stones can be knapped just like flint.

C: You can try to make fire when failing isn't going to result in freezing to death.

A)Try to find flint to start a fire

C.
I mean. We need those in the first place if were gonna make any respectable fire. Really if you've never done it before, you should spend a large portion of the day on it.

C: Much of what goes into a decent fire is the fuel, anyway; keep an eye out for dry shrubbery in particular.

>>978024
C retaining heat is important
