The island is big and wooded in parts, How do they survive?

[wolram]

Arildno, i could not think of one for you sorry, how about Arildno grotto?
or Arildnos Way," its a natural track", we haven't come across a gorge yet.

 

[hypatia]

Evening all. I've been down to check out the caves around Brewies Drop today. It seems people have been here before. It looked like some kind of smuggler's hideout. I found a couple of old inflatable boats. The rubber is rotten beyond repair, but it's possible that the outboards are servicable. I also found a large holdall containing some goodies. There are seven bandanas, a large Jolly Roger pirate flag, three brooms, and an empty parrot cage.

ohhh can I have a bandana? Let's get the outboards back here, and see if they are useable.
Good job with the radio Wolram! Hopefully we can get weather reports.
After helping with the morning meal, I'm going to go gather wood, and start a wood pile. I would feel better if we had a 2 or 3 day supply, in case of bad weather.
Ohh then a trip to the hot springs!

 

[arildno]

Arildno, i could not think of one for you sorry, how about Arildno grotto?
or Arildnos Way," its a natural track", we haven't come across a gorge yet.

No, you all want me out of your way.

I'll sit alone in my cave gnawing whatever old bones I find scattered about and just BE a troll.
I'm rather partial to man-flesh, though, so you'd better watch out and take care. I might be out and about occasionally.

 

[wolram]

Ohh then a trip to the hot springs!

But do not go on your own, we are not entirely sure this island is safe, i suggest
we all ways buddy up on trips and take a weapon of some sort.
The scavengers have had a look around Hypatias stone, and there are signs of
man made construction, it is very old and has tool marks on it.

 

[wolram]

No, you all want me out of your way.

I'll sit alone in my cave gnawing off whatever old bones I find scattered about.
I'm rather partial to man-flesh, though, so you'd better watch out and take care. I might be out and about occasionally.

No need to get the hump old boy, and no one wants you out of the way, as
long as you pitch in and do your bit.
As for eating human flesh, forget it, now get and do some thing useful.

 

[arildno]

It's not that I ever relished the prospect of being a troll.
It would be a rather lonely existence..

 

[hypatia]

Then come gather wood with me, and tell me about your country. After, we'll both go to the hot springs!

 

[arildno]

Hooray!
I'm off into the woods!

 

[wolram]

Hooray!
I'm off into the woods!

Just remember to stay alert, we should have some way of signaling each other
if in danger, may be a horn of some sort, and a code to know who it is.

 

[arildno]

And now you are expecting some utterly sluttish comment from me like "I'm a good horn-blower" or something, right?

I am aggrieved..

Aah, the wounds I get from other men. They cut deep, you know..

 

[wolram]

You are just so to sensitive old chap, i meant the words as wrote with no
hidden meaning, one of could get injured and be miles from help, the sound
from a horn is audible for quite some distance, now we could arrange a
code for every trek away from camp, like the scavengers give two blasts,
and you and Hypatia give three.

 

[arildno]

Okay, I'll blow my own horn three times if we get into Danger or something.

I'm off with Hypatia to gather woods.

So long..

 

[Lisa!]

Okay, I'll blow my own horn three times if we get into Danger or something.

No, you have more important responsibilities.I think you'd better to stay here and wolram will gather woods!

 

[Astronuc]

OK, just back with the honey and some bees wax. Also brought back some fruit.

Now time to build the roof with palm fronds.

 

[arildno]

No, you have more important responsibilities.I think you'd better to stay here and wolram will gather woods!

I absolutely REFUSE to take any independent decision as to what I am to do.
I was told to go fetch sticks in the woods, and I was happy about that.

But now, I am ordered to do something else.

I'll sit right down here, and refuse to do anything until someone kicks my butt into some direction.
Otherwise, I'm unbudgeable.

 

[Lisa!]

Thanks.
I asked what happened to ourship ,but I've not got a suitable respond to my question.Could yu please tell me about that?

 

[hypatia]

I have the ax and I know how to use it,{tosses it, and sticks it into the tree above your head} you have the horn. Now let's go

Lisa look back a page or two ..your answer is there

 

[arildno]

I have the ax and I know how to use it,{tosses it, and sticks it into the tree above your head} you have the horn. Now let's go

I am unbudgeable.

Wait! Ax??
Above my head??

Suddenly mobile again;runs off into the woods..

 

[hypatia]

ok, but when your cold, hurt or hungry, you will have only lisa to help you. grabs the ax and the horn...and heads off.

 

[hypatia]

lmao, LIsa can come too, you can tell her more about the ship as we walk

 

[Lisa!]

I have the ax and I know how to use it,{tosses it, and sticks it into the tree above your head} you have the horn. Now let's go

Lisa look back a page or two ..your answer is there

Yeah, but I need an expert to answer my question.

 

[arildno]

ok, but when your cold, hurt or hungry, you will have only lisa to help you. grabs the ax and the horn...and heads off.

Don't take my horn, please I beg you!

Follows hypatia obediently..

 

[wolram]

That was a year ago, as Hpatia and arildno walk away we jump back to the
present, The house is built and furnished with beds table and chairs, Astro also
built a separate kitchen house and we stocked it with pots and pans made from
the wreaked plane, Brewie and Danger built a forge and made shovels axes
all manner of tools, and now_____________________________?

are you dreaming?

 

[wolram]

Nope you are a year older now
and a lot less cantankerous now Hypatia and Moonbear have schooled you
some.

 

[Lisa!]

come on!I'm worried about you.The next year, we're not here.we'll leave here very soon.Although I really miss this beautiful Island and my friends!

 

[wolram]

Not to worry Lisa, we can't leave the island it has a mysterious force that won't let us go

 

[loseyourname]

A group of ten to twenty people are ship wrecked on a desert island, they have basic hand tools and food and water that will last for two days, no one knows they survived the ship wreck, so no chance of rescue.
The island is big and wooded in parts, How do they survive?

I'm not willing to read through 19 pages to see if anyone else mentioned this, but 'desert' islands are not wooded in parts. It sounds like you're thinking of a tropical rainforest island. If that's the case, it should be pretty easy to survive. It'll never get cold enough to freeze, you can sleep on the beach to avoid predators, and venture into the woods during the day to collect fruit and roots to eat. There should be plenty of rain collected in leaves, and that should suffice to drink.

If it's truly a 'desert' island, though, it's time to start eating your mates and drinking their blood. They could fish, though. My grandfather stayed alive in the south Pacific after a shipwreck during WWII for three months eating fish and drinking their blood. I suppose you could do so indefinitely.

 

[hypatia]

wow a year has past, seems like almost yeaterday that we became stranded here.
On one of my walk abouts, I noticed some strange carving on the bottom of Hypatias rock. There is also a grave nearby.

Was the grave recent or old ? the scavengers also noted the markings on the
stone, i don't know if they depict anything or not, it is certainly not natural, the
stone has been placed with some care.

Dammit, Brewnog! Get over here and help with your son! Can't you find something we can make diapers out of? What a mess the boy makes! (Sorry Danger, we never did find anything that would work as a contraceptive and that day Arildno slipped on his chaperone duties and went off to lounge about the hot springs with Hypatia, well, nature took its course).

What are you going to call him moonbear? is he hairy

 

[wolram]

I think we will have to build moonie and danger a cabin of their own now that
they are an item, i do not know much about babies but with the lack of fall out
protection would it be best if we build him a pen outside, we could make it
nice and comfy.

 

[hypatia]

but I thought it was brewnogs baby?

The grave, looks to be less then 5 years old. It contains the body of a male..around 30 yrs of age. Looks like he was in good health, his teeth are in good shape, tho it appears he's never seen a dentist. The remains of his hair are blond. About 6 ft tall. Hes wearing the tattered reminats of home made cloths...hmm that's odd, does that look like sachel under him?

 

[*Kia*]

Ah, Arildno - I was being complimentary.
I was too scared to go exploring that underwater cave and I figured seeing as you are all big and brave that you would be able to explore it.
I'm sorry if I was wrong. And hey, I don't have a place name either...

I can't be bothered to go back through all the posts but in answer to the question - "what happened to our ship":
It sank "mysteriously" about 20miles offf the coast of Wooley Island, we survived because we were above deck around the pool.
We were lucky because one life boat came adrift and we all got in that.
Unfortunately after about 6 hours rowing we hit the reef that runs around Wooley Island (there is a VERY steep drop off) and had to swim for the shore.

And to the one who said desert islands aren't wooded...
Desert Island is a commonisation meaning "deserted island" and you will find that this was covered on the first few pages.

My how time flies! Seems like only - this morning.

I see brewnog has been busy.

but I thought it was brewnogs baby?

Well, yes, Moonbear made that clear. Then I suppose its a matter of maternity, but I thought by Moonbear's declaration, she was the mom. And I thought we had a little brewbear.

Well, I have been busy, exploring and building, so apparently I have missed some details.

Oh, goodness, no! I'm not the mother. I have enough trouble keeping up with Franzbear and his 17 strings in the other thread! No more e-children for me! I'm just babysitting for Kia.

A mystery to solve it seems, get that sachel Hypatia i can't wait to know
whats in it, Any sign of the cause of death?

This joyous event calls for a new naming of our home. Since we're building a pen to his honour, I vote for renaming our island to Pen Island.

What you treacherous dog, this is woolie island, and i will
bi sect any that challenge the name.

 

[brewnog]

Whoah!

I go offline for 2 days to come back and find that a year's passed, and I've got a love child which was conceived on a night I don't even remember!

Do we know who the mother is yet? Is it time for me to make good my escape from this place?

There is no escape old chum, you may or may not have had your wicked way.
but in the future keep away from that still.

The concoction from your still was clearly involved. But you're going to be in really hot water from Wolram if you don't marry Kia quite soon (literally, he's got that kettle already on the fire bringing the water up to a boil as we speak!)

This is really difficult because in another thread i promised to be good, and as
Kia can not have babies, i think some one is hidding the truth, where was Hypatia the last few weeks? and i haven't seen Lisa about for a while, she did
seem to be putting on weight rather fast.

Did Kia steal someone's baby? She really never did show much, but I trusted her when she said it was hers. What if it isn't Brewnog's either? I mean, that was Kia's story, and I believed her, but maybe she just thought it was the only way she'd get Brewnog to marry her. What if it's Arildno's! Oldest trick in the book, you know, claim you're gay to get the women all snuggled around close!

Dum dum dum! It seems we have a mystery on Woolie's Island, and it's not just the dead guy in the grave! The gossip mills are running full speed ahead (oh, okay, that's just our windmill that Danger and Brewnog rigged up to mill flour from the edible plants we've found).

 

[wolram]

Arildno's! , the cunning devil, now that we have a mill Moonbear will you
pretty please make me a berry pie

And by the way i am just so gay

 

[Moonbear]

The time on that post was 3:16 PM EDT. Who wins on wolram being bad?

One pie coming up, but I get the last piece!

That is just so not just i didnt do anything wrong or bad.

What about the custard?

 

[Danger]

hehehe that sounds so odd to think of eating poi... You see I DO poi - as in dance with fire (although not so often with fire usually with lights)

And, dare I hope, also with a brass pole?

I noticed some strange carving on the bottom of Hypatias rock.

Hmm... And to think that that last time I tried to inspect Hypatia's bottom, I got slapped.

Dammit, Brewnog! Get over here and help with your son! Can't you find something we can make diapers out of? What a mess the boy makes! (Sorry Danger, we never did find anything that would work as a contraceptive and that day Arildno slipped on his chaperone duties and went off to lounge about the hot springs with Hypatia, well, nature took its course).

Let this put an end to the question of parentage. Sorry, Brewski, but it looks like you're stuck with the Joisy Gal.

Now, Woolie... is there any possibility that you meant a calcite eruption in regard to the shipwreck?

I thikn I will need a few spear like weapons, just to have around the kitchen area.
Its a great site for a permanet shelter!

No fear on that account, darlin'. The entire encampment is secured by the AstroDanger Security Service. Since the cooking facilities are in the second most invulnerable position (after sleeping quarters), you have no need to worry. Just as our lives depend upon your knowledge of vegetation and first-aid, we defend yours with our own expertise. As the sign on my driveway says "Trespassers Will Be Executed".
Arildno, since Wooley very loudly proclaimed "I am so gay!", I assume that there's one social dynamic taken care of. Whether or not that's correct, I'll gladly have you on board the Nasty Boys team for offensive/defensive purposes. And fear not in one regard; I fully hope that with your help we can build a reasonably effective linear accelerator. We probably won't be able to detect any significant particle interactions, but we can sure as hell launch a couple of SOS messages.
Kia... awesome map. I must check, however, before I become too piggish... another thread seemed to indicate that you're not unattached. So is your significant other joining us, or may I letch upon you with impunity?

 

[Astronuc]

Now, Woolie... is there any possibility that you meant a calcite eruption in regard to the shipwreck?

No, it was a methane "clathrate" eruption, or something similar. When a gas bubbles up through a liquid, such that the density decreases dramatically, the liquid, in this case - seawater - cannot support objects, such as ships - which sink.
