Test of Courage

Yukimori High School, a private school on the top of a lush, green hill, caters to the children of Japan's elite. Traveling from bustling cities, the peaceful environment is a welcome change. But they are not here to play. They are here to hone their skills as the next generation to control modern-day Japan. As such, their facilities are top notch ranging from an archery field, to music studios, to a Broadway theater, to both an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, to a horse stable. And the cafeteria is run by gourmet chefs who are able to cook whatever the students desire. If you can think of it, Yukimori has it.

Though abundant in luxuries, the students have no time to relax. Competition is fierce between students as they claw their way to the top of their fields: politicians, lawyers, businessmen, doctors, singers, actors, athletes, you name it. And their professors are just as strict on them, each excelling in the field they teach. Only the finest teachers in Japan are suitable to teach the finest students of their nation.

There is one class who defies the status quo. Class 3-Z. If you listen closely, you can hear the students and professors of Yukirmori whisper about the "delinquent class." In other words, Class 3-Z. But if you ask any student from Class 3-Z, they are relatively normal. They may not be as competitive or as popular or as socially competent as the rest of the school, but they are not truly delinquents... or at least, most of them aren't. They are put in 3-Z simply because they don't fit the image of Japan's elite society.

It's summer and everyone at Yukimori has gone home for vacation... except for Class 3-Z. Unfortunately for them, they must take supplemental classes due their "inadequate" grades (but really, it's just the principal punishing them for no reason). During literature, the professor brings up an intriguing story. Behind Yukimori, is a forest. Though friendly during the day, it is said that when the moon rises, creatures of the night come out to play. Excited by the prospect of getting out of the school, Class 3-Z plans a Test Of Courage the very same night.

Characters: Rock (dtk), Olgonhdonhdirubiru (Kiwa_Hajimari), Lin (GuiltyStory), Keiichirou (seyyah), Mio (Mikay), Kei (Rami), Pan (Terrah)

In order to complete the Test of Courage, each character is given a map of the forest (and a compass) and must reach the lake in the center of it. Each character will enter the forest on their own (each user will write a paragraph on how their character arrives at the lake) The order of who arrives at the lake depends on who posts first.

Map:

Things You Might Encounter:

The story will continue once everyone has reached the lake.

IMPORTANT: The story will not go as quickly as I wish for it to go since (1) I'm not online the entire time and (2) I have to stop you guys at certain points to trigger events or to explain things. I will do my best to tell you when to stop posting. (For example, if you reach the edge of the map, I need you guys to stop so I can explain something).

Also, if you wish to speak outside of your character, see the rules for further instructions.

Have fun guys! ^^

second it sure is a dense forest... wonder how old is the youngest tree...
and that clear space... says "Don't come here!!!" XD
and seems like we dont have any tracks in forest... is it?

OOC: did I get that right? I just have to describe my way to the lake? Here's my first try xD

Olgonhdonhdirubiru decided that the best way to find the lake without getting lost was walking northwest, starting from the school in early morning, to get to the river. During the first hour of the trip, he noticed he didn't bring anything to store water inside, and spends the second hour muttering about what an idiot he is. He pulled himself together afterwards, and spent the third hour collecting berries and fruit he knew that grew on his way. While walking for almost four hours already, he thought about using the pot for water storage, but then he would have nothing to make food in, then idly played with the thought of using a bit of his black plastic to make some kind of water bag, sewing it shut with his medikit needle and putting it in a cloak pocket. Then he reached the river, and because of seeing the water and the rising temperature as it slowly became noon, he changed into his swimsuit. After a short break and eating some of the berries to restore energy, he walked right/east towards the lake and reached it at the time of late noon. Arrived there, he picked up some dry branches, spilled a bit of desinfection alcohol on them and used his firelighter to make a fire. Then he readied the pot and boiled some water from the river end, and tried to act out his black plastic water bag plan. After two failures which went back into the bottle, the third one kept its contents and was more or less suited for drinking, though he couldn't be filled with more than half an liter, which meant he couldn't move far away from water sources. Taking a bit out of the boiled water pot, he used the rest of the water and the collected fruit and berries to start making some mush of it that would get solid enough to be put into a pocket and carried around. Without anything else to do, and without any visible dangers around him, he sat down and waited for the others to come.

As Kei walked to the entrance of the school. What he was looking at was miles of open forest. He suddenly open his map given to him. He was observing it intensely. He realized that it would take him three hours to get there. But maybe more If he circled around the forest. Kei had the mind frame on what he would encounter inside this forest. So He was prepared on what kind of forest animals he might face. As He finally started walking he encounter with the first animal which was a red panda. Kei just kept on walking looking at the red panda for a moment. He would continue on for 30 minutes until he reached a cave. He located at his map to see where he was located. He realized that he had taken a wrong turn because he was heading in wrong direction. Curiosity got the best of him so he looked and found pitch darkness. Kei would reach for his flashlight and in the process he heard an echoing sound. He turn his flashlight on only to find the cave over pouring with bats. He took a step back and turned around to head toward the lake. Suddenly the bats started to come at a rapid speed out the cave. kei would only stand there and look at the sky will the bats would disappear into the distance. He would continue on and as he was getting to narrow river bank He encountered a sleeping black bear. Kei didn't want any confrontation with the bear so he continued on walking. Kei would reach the river bank 30 minutes later. His next encounter would be a a batch of hungry coyote near the river bank. He was looking at his map but also observing his surroundings so he knew right away he was being seen by coyotes. As he was putting his map away he was hearing constant growling sound in his direction. He immediately took his wooden sword out because he knew he was going to have to fight these coyotes out. Kei took an immediate reaction of running upstream to the lake but the coyotes would start running after him. He knew that over running them was pointless and he would only lose his energy. He would stop but the coyotes would continue on coming after him. as two arrive from each end he started bashing his wooden sticks that their heads. They went down cold. the next two would circle him around growling. Kei would only stay silent and observe them closely. All of a sudden one coyote leaped at his back so what kei did was duck down and just his martial arts reflexes to hit the coyote right below its stomach with the wooden sword. As for the other coyote, it started running away after seeing what happen to the other one. Soon Kei looked at his watch and realized that he had wasted so much time with these wild encounters. With no other encounters He would reach the lake after three hours he started this walk. Kei would calm lay down on his back pull out his tooth pick and picture of his parents. He put the tooth pick in his mouth and held up the photo looking upward toward at it. At the end he would simply think why are the others taking for ever to reach the lake with a slight smile.

Rock decides hes just gonna go walk into the trees hes bound to find something after all after walking for nearly and hour and a half he finds himself in a clearing and decides its a pleasant spot to have a drink .... after he thinks to himself "i wish i brought a map with me what direction do i need to head to meet the others at the lake hope i can spot the girls getting changed " with that thought he remembers the magazines he brought along with him half hour later he begins heading north west after having tossed his knife in the air to decide which way to head after 2 hours he found the lake

Subject: Re: Test Of Courage (RPG) Sat Sep 28, 2013 6:07 am

Keiichirou stared at sky as he neared forest, it was rather clear night with both moon which is about to turn full, and stars were clearly visible; since it it was visible enough he decided not to use his light to save batteries.
It was around 3 hours from wher he was to lake on foot. He turned to north and started walking. On his way he encounterd some nocturnal animals, a wildcat and an owl, and some rodents. But somehow he felt something was strange for such a big forest to be this silent at night...
After a long walk for him he felt the cool breeze coming from lake, and then he saw siluttes of his classmates at lakeside. With a wry smile on his face he approached them...

After packing her things, Pan started to wander around the entrance of the school to decide which direction she will take. It's getting dark and she only have the light from her phone, but then, she turned it off and holds her katana instead. She started to run northeast of the school entrance while slashing and hacking all bushes and vines that will get into her way. After an hour of running in constant speed, she reached an empty area of the forest. It's getting cold and she can only hear the noise of the crows and crickets. She decided to take a rest in that space and started to collect bushes and vines to be used as a futon.

Subject: Re: Test Of Courage (RPG) Sun Sep 29, 2013 2:12 am

Summary thus far: Olgonhdonhdirubiru, Kei, Rock, and Keiichirou have reached the lake. Pan is currently in the forest clearing and Mio and Lin have yet to set out towards the lake.

On a side note, great job so far guys ^^ The OP has been edited so you guys can see what you might find in each area.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the compass... Yes, each of you is allowed a compass so good luck to you if you lose it. North is the ocean. And no, there aren't any pathways in the forest due to lack of exploration. The maps they have are copies of the area from when the school was first built.

@kiwa Yes, you're using OOC right ^^

Mio frowned at the sight of the Forest's Entrance. She was dawned on the thought of what she might encounter; Would it be the exhaustion? Would there be any dangers? No... all she could think about was the possibility of bugs. Mio unravelled the map carefully & began memorising its contents. After deciding the route she would take, she began her walk into the forest. Around 30 minutes had past, the light that seeped through the above branches was scarce; the light had almost disappeared. Mio flicked her flash-watch's light on and steadily continued to walk towards north, whilst glancing at her in-built compass. Around one hour later.. Mio came across small amounts of wildlife.. Mio thought about keeping track of what she had seen, she had already past by owls, a few small foxes and large amounts of flora on the forests floor. As Mio knelled down to re-tie her shoelaces that had come undone from her walk, mosquitoes had started flying around startling Mio. Mio ran frantically ahead, disregarding her direction at the thought of getting away. Eventually a tired Mio came towards the Lake's clearing.. She could pick out figures of people at the lake's edge.. she slowly began approaching the small gathering of people.

Night fell on the five that were waiting impatiently next to lake. The full moon was already at its peak, but Pan and Lin were nowhere to be seen. The wind picked up a little speed, and being so close to the water, class 3-Z had begun to get cold. Slightly worried, they reached a consensus to set out to find the two missing girls.

The moon was directly above the lake as they got up to leave. What they didn't know was that behind them, the water began to ripple. A cloud passed over the moon, leaving the students in complete darkness. When they looked up once the cloud was gone, red moonlight bathed their silhouettes. The moon had turned red. Looking around, the trees seemed to be more twisted than they were a few moments ago, but they paid them no attention. Shrugging, they continued into the forest to launch their search.

Not too long after they set out, the heard low growls. Forming a circle, with their backs to each other, the students braced themselves for whatever animal would come at them. But they didn't expect these. They were twice the size of a normal wolf, almost the size of a large horse. Their eyes were red and a third eye blinked in the middle of their foreheads. Black saliva dripped from their large yellow teeth as they approached and surrounded the group.

IMPORTANT: Stop if you reach the very edge of the map.

As the night got darker Lin never showed up. Though the others were talking about the whereabouts of Lin Kei just stayed quiet. The others where still figuring out where Lin might have gone. Suddenly Kei raised his voice "Quiet." The others would just stare at him. "There Are Here" he spoke taking out his wooden sword. He pointed in the direction where the beasts where coming from. Still unknown about Lin whereabouts Kei would prepare to fight. There were twelve of the beasts so Kei and each member would prepare to fight. Kei would fight two of those beasts bashing the necks of the two beasts. Then he would run off to find Lin. This time Kei would go into a different route. He would walk into a clearing where was no trees. He looked into the distance to see if he would find signs of a wondering girl but nothing. He would enter the clearing before finding animal bones. The bones meant that there were wolves near by. Kei didn't want to alert his presence so he didn't use his flashlight. He spent almost all night searching but no sign of Lin. We would continue searching until morning and reaching a place not visible to the map given to him.

As the cloud uncovered the moon, Olgonhdonhdirubiru quivered. He knew what that meant. A red moon. Suddenly, the trees looking alive. Looking scary. He encountered these kind of situations regularly while spending long lonely nights in the lab, waiting for an important experiment to be finished. While some dubious substances in tubes and jars that reminded faintly of human innards boiled, moved around, dripped in other jars, changing colors from a poisonous green to the bright red of arteries' blood to gall's yellow and eventually to a dark, evil black that seemed to devour any light around it, he, who sat amidst this flowing and crawling madness in a dark mood, then again in high spirits, the fumes and smoke he had to breath provided entertaining changes there and one or the other hallucination, had to distance himself from this place. So, in order to distract himself, he played Minecraft on the lab computer, and therefore knew exactly what a red moon meant.
Zombie Moon. Huge numbers of zombies, suddenly spawning everywhere dark enough, and starting to tear people apart to get their "brainzzzz!"
This assumption was confirmed as he heard growling from the trees. Quickly turning his head, to keep every direction in his field of vision, he spotted human bodies moving slowly where trees had stood during daytime. "Be prepared. Always be prepared." Since his classmates seemed to be aware of the situation, he went to his cloak and began to search the pockets while muttering, close to a panic, "What's in here? Garlic ... screw it, these are no bookstory vampires, this is REAL! Hmm sedatives, but who would try to sedate a dead guy? Shocker-lighter won't be effective either! I need a sample of the virus... wait, it's no virus, it's the moon. Sedate the moon? Cover it with bandages? HAAAAAH! Stop it, Olgonhdiru... dori ...Orudonh ... Start to think! Look at them and find clues what to do!" Breathing heavily, he lokked at one single tree he picked out and triied to calm down to find out if it was moving. The others had meanwhilst formed a circle around the fire he lit on arrival and readied whatever they assumed a suitable weapon. Suddenly, something came out of the woods, slowly, maybe it didn't like the fire, probing the air with a snout that was bigger than the huge erlenmeyer kolben in his lab, deciding that it liked the smell of those tasty humans more than it disliked the fire. Olgonhdonhdirubiru flinched. "Arienai! Huge wolves?... and, wait, three eyes? What sick joke is that?! They told me my little accident with the Plutonium catalyst had no effectsvoutside of the lab and they succeeded to get rid of the remainings... guess it's not that then..." Because he didn't want his corpse to be found in a torn cyan swimsuit, he changed back into his cloak.
Then Kei ran off out of the blue, killed two wolves and disappeared into the forest. Nobody seemed to care, not even the wolves.
Olgonhdonhdirubiru took the hole Kei left in the circle, straightened his back and said in a cool, deep voice that contradicted his former as well as his current mental and emotional state:"From a medical-biological point of view, their bodies don't seem to be made for swimming. I don't think they can't do it, but maybe heading to the lake and swimming to the island could get us some time. Leave everything here that isn't waterproof or absolutely necessary and move slowly, then they might not attack. That is, if none of you has a better plan."

/OOC I'm fine with what sey does below, but expect to get it back xD
and btw, beach is ok, but anything where I can't pose in my swimsuit isn't!

Subject: Re: Test Of Courage (RPG) Tue Oct 01, 2013 7:51 am

As red moonlight shining on the cross on his neck, Keiichirou looked at what came out from shadows, slowly moved away from light and tried to see if mosnters kept looking at him, but after breakthrough of Kei, they seemend no care... "I see so you want the big prize..." he tought, readying his gun and aiming to 3rd eye of the beast in front of him. Decided not to fire since it might agitate them more.
While Olgonhdonhdirubiru retreated towards water,he remembered, first thing changed was water...
"I don't think water is a good choice." he said; "We should get into forest and head for either beach or opening in forest.". He was thinking beach would be better place to go...
There was 4 of them, Olgonhdonhdirubiru, Rock, Mio and Himself now...

OOC: i'll post a bit more after everyone posts themselves.. since we dont have clear choices its more like we're making our own stroy at some parts...

In the middle of her precious sleep under a tree, Pan was startled by the screams which came from north-west her location. She was alerted and packed her things. After some moment, the forest became silent again. She isn't too stupid to follow search for the whereabouts of a scream which might endangered her life so she continued walking to the north. An hour passed and it looks like there are still a lot of trees to pass through. Being tired of the long walk, Pan took a rest and sat down near a tree until recovery, but suddenly, she heard growls coming from behind her. She stood up and took a stick from the ground then she noticed that she's being surrounded by three wild wolves. In fear of being bitten, she climb up to a thick tree branch where the wolves are trying to reach her feet. That bought her time to unzip her Katana out of the case. While sitting on the branch, she managed to stab the wolf on the left side to the feet which scared off the two other wolves, they ran away because of some injuries. Pan returned her Katana in its case, but while trying to jump down from the branch, her feet slipped and she fell to the ground and lost her consciousness.

rock still slightly intoxicated decides to ignore the current dangers and goes to pet the wolf like beings as they seem to ignore him it seems they are not as dangerous as they look ....

Subject: Re: Test Of Courage (RPG) Wed Oct 02, 2013 12:44 am

The story thus far: Olgonhdonhdirubiru, Rock, Mio and Keiichirou are surrounded by the demonic wolves still. Kei has broken away from the group and has arrived at the clearing, far from where the others currently are. He is looking for Lin but in doing so, he is currently all alone, with no one watching his back. Pan is dangerously unconscious on the floor of the forest. There's no telling when those three wolves will come back for her and she is completely defenseless. Meanwhile, Lin is still nowhere to be found.

@kiwa No zombies yet kiwa! Sorry to burst your creative bubble. I will give you guys a list of creatures you might encounter so you don't have to wait for me to instigate an event... but for now, just giant 3-eyed wolves 8D

OOC(of course): i have no problem with that but that might require us to post more than one post between phase shifts...
so all players needs to actively take part, for others to decide what to do, as well as narrator, or soon all might be seperated to thier own stories...
well these are just my worries, lets see how it'll turn out. its going good so far,

/OOC just processing the way seyyah suggested, and no, I didn't include zombies in the story, good ol' Olgy just panicked and imagined stuff

Realizing that the lake might not be a good place to head for, Olgonhdonhdirubiru slowly picked up his stuff and waited for the others to do so. While they did, he took a closer look at the wolves, and decided that the things he saw should not be called wolves anymore because of the difference in size, number of eyes, and because "wolves" sounded far too less impressive for those beasts. As he tried to find a properly scary name, he remembered a course of amateur psychology he had to take once, and came to the conclusion that a scary name for scary things you encounter might not be good for the group moral. After a short break, he informed the others, who finished grabbing their stuff, that the scientifically correct name of those beasts was "Fnick" or "Minor Bear-Wolf Funicus Lupus". Keiichirou snorted, but didn't say a word, while Rock asked if, since that was the "Minor" variant, the group could encounter the major one as well here, which Olgonhdonhdirubiru denied "Not on this half of the earthball, my friend". "Hey since when I am your fr..." Keiichirou snorted. "May I get you a tissue for your nose?" asked Olgonhdonhdirubiru in a passively agressive tone. "Stop it, guys! Fighting won't help us getting anywhere" Mio tried to avoid a conflict. The fnicks in the meantime circled around the group at a constant distance. "Doesn't seem like they want to attack us, to be honest" Rock stated, "How about we just sit down, I get my stuff out, forget about the situation, and we wait until the moon turns white again?" Keiichirou nodded, and that very moment, the fnicks in the east attacked. Keiichirou saw Olgonhdonhdirubiru being thrown down by the first one, blinked and the next moment, the fnick and his mate had switched positions. Then a blow of wind, stinking like rotten jellyfish and algae, a swirl of fur and bloodred eyes next to him. He threw himself to the right where Olgonhdonhdirubiru and the other fnick were fighting a moment ago, and landed surprisingly soft. Getting up he realized that he apparently hit the now-unconscious-or-dead fnick his black-haired mate somehow managed to take out. Olgonhdonhdirubiru, again in his cyan swimsuit, knelt beside the beast, his dagger in his hand. Looking around, he saw Rock, who got bitten somewhere on his left arm as the blood on his clothing told Keiichirou, but still on his feet, tackling a smaller fnick that jumped at Mio. He took out his airgun and fired at that fnick to keep it from attacking, but it shrugged the shot off and growled at Mio again. Suddenly, from somewhere behind Rock, a fist-sized furry object flew and hit the fnick at the head with a wet sond. The fnick sniffed and started to devour the piece of meat that came out of nowhere. It took Rock a few seconds to spot the source of this strange bombardement. Olgonhdonhdirubiru and Keiichirou knelt on a dead fnick, cut pieces out of it, and threw them at fnicks that came near the group. "Don't ask, apparently they're cannibals." As more and more fnicks approached their fallen companion, the group decided to retreat through the woods in the east, where the attacking fnicks left a hole in the circle. Behind them, the sounds of growling fnicks fighting over their prey faded. After getting about a kilometer further in this direction, without encountering any more wolves Olgonhdonhdirubiru stumbled upon something lying on the ground and fell. The others stopped, Rock held his hand out to him and meant "Watch you steeeee-" Rock passed out. Keiichirou snorted. "Apparently the blood loss has progressed more than I thought." as he looked at Rock. Looking up again, Olgonhdonhdirubiru had changed back into his cloak and approached Rock with his medikit. "I won't be able to treat him on the ground if we can't make sure we won't be attacked. I think the best solution is climbing that big tree over there to reach the lower branches," he put a pressure bandage around rocks arm "and set up some sort of camp up there, I can make string stuff with my plastic that will suffice to carry us up there." Slowly walking backwards with a thoughtful expression on his face, he stumbled upon the same spot again and fell. "All Nine Demons and their nasty demon pet hamsters! What do some people think, just having a nap on the ground in the dark, someone MUST fall over like this!" Mio made a step to help him up, then froze "People?" She looked at the thing that gave the Doctor-in-spe his balancial problems, and recognized the shape of a girl in the darkness. "Why, what, ... who..." After getting up again, the dark cloak shape muttered "Can at least answer the last question, this is some girl I ran into four weeks ago, she apparently just came back from Kendo training and ran to her next lesson, I came back from a surgery lecture and ran to the lab. We collided, I insulted her, she threatened me with a Rattan stick, and I had to give her my melon bread I bought for lunch to make it into the lab on time. I view it as a personal assault from fate that she violently stops me from running again and again." He grabbed Rock and started to climb the tree. Keiichirou and Mio looked at each other speechlessly, Keiichirou lifted the still-unconscious Pan and they followed him in silence.

OOC ok i'm following with Kiwa's story XD

As he carried unconscious Pan, Keiichirou tought about the fight at lake."Guess have no choice but to shot their eyes..." he tought, when he shot one, it was like firing on a log... "Are you ok?" asked to Mio walking next to him. She simply nodded.
Then they reached to tree, he put Pan under it and startet to cut a rather long branch from tree. "If gun wont work i might need somethingelse just in case..." he answered Olgonhdonhdirubiru who was looking at him with asking eyes.
They need to plan where to go or what to do next. From map they guessed they're about 3km south of beach and 1 km east of Lake...
As the group started to settle night contunied...

Following Rami's Last post. Sorry for the wait guys!

Lin wake's in a dark and damp cave. She get's up immediately and looks around. She finds her Flashlight, Hunting Knife, Camera, and water bottles. She feels something tight on her head only to realize it's the bandage wrap she had. She remembers of nothing prior to walking into the forest northwest of the school. She hears many foot steps coming towards her way. she immediately hides in the shadows of the dark cave. The Foot steps get closer. 4 Beasts searched the entrance of the cave. Lin prepares for the worst heading deeper into the cave. She trips over a rock and all 4 beasts charge inside. Silence fell.... One of the beasts runs outside the cave appearing to be injured. Lin walks out following the beast covered in blood and her Hunting Knife Drenched in Blood. Lin jumps on the beast and cuts it's throat. Lin looking more Confident returns to the cave, grabs her equipment, and Walks out the cave. Before leaving she takes a look back at what she had done, 3 Beats dismembered and dead. She see's the beast that is now dead at the entrance of the cave, Lightly smiles and says " ahh...interesting..." She takes off her hat and takes out the map Duck Taped at the inside of it. She Pin-Points her location and Notices she's at the edge of the map. She marks her destination which is a clearing Just a mile or so away from her location. As the sun rises she sets out. Leaving a Bloody trail Behind her.

One thing I forgot to mention was: Try to avoid "taking control" of other people's characters without their permission. And even if they do give them your permission, keep it to a minimum. After all, they are not your characters so how you think they would act and how their creator thinks they would act may be completely different. I know it's pretty unavoidable since you guys won't be constantly active, and there will be situations where you're forced into taking over someone's character (like Olgonhdonhdirubiru stumbling upon Pan for example), but try your best not to.

Also, try to avoid writing really long paragraphs (and by long I mean like what kiwa wrote). I know you guys have a lot of creativity but I'd also like other people to help play a part in shaping the story.

Also, I will be regularly updating the OP depending on what happens (for example, now I will be adding the Fnick to the encounter list) so you should check it often.

Story so far: Olgonhdonhdirubiru, Rock, Mio, and Keiichirou have retreated to the east of the lake. Stumbling upon an unconscious Pan, they climbed a tall tree to avoid being ambushed by the Fnick as Olgonhdonhdirubiru begins to treat Rock's bite. Meanwhile, Kei is at the clearing still searching for Lin and Lin herself has left the cave she was in and is now heading towards the clearing.

HINT: The Fnick (I guess we'll be calling them that now since kiwa coined them that) have black saliva. You can infer what that means.

IMPORTANT: Stop if you reach the edge of the map, when you fall asleep, if you create a fire, if you explore the cave, if you go back to the lake, if you go by the river, or if you reach the beach.

Sitting on one of the lower branch and sharpening the stick he cut Keiichirou started to think about what happened so far. They entered forest at around 10 pm, and it took around 4 hours for him to reach the lake. so everything started between 2-3am he lost track of time after the encounter with those "Fnicks". But after all the time passed moon stays still at same place, giving him impression time has a different flow here. Finally Rock, bite was not that serious, but bleeding is yet to stop and finally he fainted when they found unconcsious Pan. Colour of those Fnicks saliva... Was not a good news thats for sure. "It would be better to prepeare for the worst..."

Extract from .olgonhdonhdirubiru - MedicalFiles[ForestInc1](patVoid)
for detailed report, see *](patRock) and *](patPan), source: Yukinori Scientific Mobile Computer(Owner: Olgonhdonhdirubiru)

Found he first two people here who were actually in need of medical treatment.
Easier case first, the girl, identified as "Pan" by a tag on her katana bag.
Anamnesis: She's out cold, and was lying there for at least an hour already.
Diagnosis: Concussion. Hit her head. Badly. Maybe fell from somewhere high.
Appendix 1: Either playing dead tricks the fnicks, or she was extremely lucky.
Treatment: Refused to wake her up yet, maybe she'd shout at me again. Therefore, letting her sleep and prepared some dried pulp/stew thing I made earlier, close enough to bread, she might like it. And some painkillers.
Appendix 2 Doctor's advice: Shouldn't repeat that for the next three days to avoid damaging the brain cells.

Second case: Rock
Anamnesis: bleeding from a surfacal bite on his left biceps, unconscious
Diagnosis: Muscle Rupture, but no nerves or major vessels cut, lucky here as well.
Treatment: desinfection, bandages, have yet to sew it shut.
Reason for that: there's something strange about the wound's margin, it seems to dissolve. Not that unusual, but the speed of the process is ... disturbing. Seems not infected though.
Arm veins darkening. Might not be protected against gangrene.
Plan of action: Wait until he wakes up, ask him for vaccination pass, if he got no tetanus vacc, treat with antibiotica. Watch him closely either way.

Rock finally awakens still dizzy and disorientated and responds to Olgonhdonhdirubiru's question admitting he has never been vaccinated and comments "so much for minor huh hehe" before remembering the sensation running through his arm "tch feels like that poison i was injected with some time ago" but the dose now was significantly larger than during the clinical trails back then as he wonders how he ended up in those trails he remembers its cause they where using his strong immune system to create a vaccine "heh i should be fine if i get some decent rest" with that he falls back to sleep
