[053] [256] [081] [177] Naps, my only weakness
Well, yesterday was indeed a giant improvement on the day before for me, let's see how YOU fare!
A sweet smell floats down from the upper foliage of the tree which makes you feel relaxed and drowsy. As your eyelids droop, you do not see a thick vine lower itself down from the branches above. It silently wraps itself around your neck and starts to squeeze. You awaken, choking, and try to grasp your sword which is lying by your feet.
Rolling for luck! Fortunately, you pass, though you necessarily lose a luck point in the process.
You stretch out and your fingertips just manage to reach your sword. By now you cannot breathe and your face is crimson with the veins bulging in your neck. You desperately hack at the vine until you cut through it and roll away out of its lethal range. You cough and rub your neck and watch the hideous vine drip purple sap. Although you are lucky to have escaped the clutches of the carnivorous tree, you have not escaped injury. Although still weary, you decide that it is better to keep on the move.
As you push your way slowly through the undergrowth, the hairs on the back of your neck start to prickle and you feel that you are being watched. You stand back, sword ready, watching the leaves for any sign of movement. Then three dark-skinned men step into view, each wearing only a crude loin-cloth. They are armed with stone clubs and long spears, but you are more alarmed to see that each wears a belt of shrunken human heads. The HEADHUNTERS start to argue about who should kill you and earn the right to wear your head on his belt. Finally one steps forward.
First HEADHUNTER (Skill 6, Stamina 6)
Second HEADHUNTER (Skill 7, Stamina 6)
Third HEADHUNTER (Skill 6, Stamina 7)
Fight! This one isn't very tough, but you lost a skill point and two stamina points in your escapade with the vine, and the first one gets a couple of lucky hits in, bringing you down another four stamina points. Ouch.
The Headhunters have no items of equipment on them, but have a hide bag containing bananas and coconuts. You save your own Provisions and eat the Headhunters' food. You wonder if their village is nearby, and decide to climb a tree to get a better view. From the top you see smoke rising not far away in the south-west; perhaps from a village. Directly west, you see the trees gradually thin out, and away in the far north-west, you see the daunting shape of the volcano. You climb down from the tree and plan which way to head.
