You are taken on a twin engine sea plane and flown to an island in the Pacific. Which island, you do not know, but one thing is for certain... there is not much there. The island ia about one mile in diameter. There is a small forest in the middle with an unusually small fresh water pond fed by a large hill in the middle of the forest. This hill is about 1000'. You do not recognize any edible vegetation. If you had any special marine training then you might see something, but only enough for survival. The sea is a bright blue-green and promising. There is only one large hut divided into several rooms... this is for the camera crew and the producer. They have all the necessary comforts including electricity generated by a disel motor. You are told that you are not allowed to come near or enter into the hut, if you do you loose.
It is now 3pm, the sun sets around 6pm, you are told to 'prepare for the night' and then are left to do whatever you wish. You are asked to make sure to be up at 8am the next morning for your first 'assignment'. You become suspicious of what that could be.
GM: Make yourselves 'at home'...
'Make ourselves at home?' Lemina says and chuckles. She looks around her and begins to think.
Lemina looks at everyone and says, 'Where should we set up some sort of sleeping area? I was thinking of sleeping under the cover of the trees, in case it rains, we won't get completely soaked to the bone.'
Ash looks at Lemina and says" that sounds like a good idea." Ash then looks around at the suroundings around him and says "isnt this beutiful I think that this is going to be a wonderful experince." "So what all are we going to do out here in the wilderness I wonder?"
Sugarplum looks at everybody and says 'I suggest we can divide ourselves, maybe Lemina and I can go and look for tree branches or wood to make a fire, remember we need to start the fire as soon as possible because the mosquitoes will kill us otherwise, also will help us to cook something. Maybe the rest can divide the job by setting a place to sleep that may have a roof made of tree leaves and another one can look for some kind of food to eat although I believe we all are pretty satisfied with the meal we got before coming here, otherwise I'm sure there is plenty coconuts, palms and other fruits to find here in this island'.
She then looks at Lemina and says 'Let's go and look for some branches to make the fire'
Well guys lets listen to the ladies and find a suitable spot by the fresh water. We should think about the possibility of building a workable shelter I think a modified leanto will work, sort of a low "a"-frame. "/" only lower so the wind doesn't knock it over and we can thatch the roof with the broad leaves of these tropical trees - Lewis and I can probably Handle that part. Kane you have the dagger right? Good, you might want to make a spear for fishing, and check out what the food supply is like in the water, be carefull though, there may be nast critters in the water and neither Sugarplum nor I have a trauma kit...
As you move around you notice that the film crew is around taking various shots of what you are doing, but they make absolutely no effort to answer any of your questions, assist you or anything else, it as if they are not even there.
