Round 3As Olivia made preparations to heal Zale and perhaps Ashlyn, she realized that the intense healing that she had administered in the cavern had taken a toll on the supplies of her and Caleb's medical kits. She had enough supplies in the kits to heal only two more people. She had grabbed separate bandages that would allow four bandage changes. At Olivia and Caleb's warning, their alliance mates paused at the entrance to the palm trees. This close to Faith and Dale's hiding spot they realized there weren't only palm trees. There were dozens of squat trees with spiky green leaves that were a good eight feet in diameter, those leaves providing a great deal of cover. There were some fallen palm leaves under foot and some delicate moss and ferns growing against sand colored rocks. The ground was a mixture of sand and mud. The sun was now setting, blanketing the trees ahead of them in long shadows. "They could be getting away." Isaac complained as he halted pursuit. Iris, Sam, Brad and Ashlyn continued into the shadowy tree line. With the absence of Caleb and Liv's alliance, they clustered closer together with Brad and Ashlyn in the lead. They had stepped into the trees a moment when it became hard to distinguish them in the shadows. From the shadows, a glint of metal was the only warning as a knife flew out of the trees. It grazed Riva's arm as Olivia was taking stock of her medical supplies. From the trees, theres a shout of "There he is!" A ringing sword sounded with a terrible yell. The sound of underbrush being trampled and a surprised cry sounded soon after. "Sam's not moving!" Ashlyn shouted. "Watch Dale." Brad barked in response. Zale glanced among the trees where the fight was playing out. Zale turned his head away from the shouts and noise and closer to where Caleb, Olivia, Riva, Dupioni, Theodore, Willow and Pan were standing with himself. He could sense a quiet rustle a mere eight feet from his group. As he watched, a milk white foot - bare- crawled through the underbrush. A similar movement made him glance towards the noise of the fighting. He saw a milk white torso silhouetted by a palm tree. The body was androgynous and human - like, but not like any tribute Zale had seen. The figure stepped forward towards the combatants, melting out of sight. Sam rolled 2 dice to "Haymaker def" 6,3 (0 successes) Link 2013-10-08 01:13:02 Dale rolled 7 dice to "Haymaker vs Sam" 10,4,3,4,5,7,9,3 (2 successes) Link 2013-10-08 01:11:37 Sam rolled 8 dice to "Sword fighting with Dale" 5,3,8,4,8,6,1,4 (2 successes) Link Faith rolled 6 dice to "Throwing knives (Riva)" 4,5,1,6,10,8,5 (2 successes)
4,8,7,2,2 (1 successes) Faith rolled 5 dice to "Throwing shuriken at Willow (2nd roll -1)[10-3-2" 4,5,5,5,4 (0 successes)
Three blades cut towards the three women around Zale and Pan. Riva had a shuriken embedded in her left arm and a blade hit the ground by Willow's right foot. "I have been cut by a throwing..." Riva plucked the blade out and observed. " - shuriken. She has shurikens as well.""Eris could throw many at a time." Willow stated, concerned. Willow stepped forward, examining the fresh cut on Olivia's arm. "Lets move away from the trees." Willow suggested. Added Oct 10: 4 20 P.MRound 4A wooden row boat bobbed up on the beach. Olivia and Caleb recognized this boat as the one that had been attached to the ship that they had camped beside last night. The boat was empty, devoid of Eris and Kris. Faith quit the fight, turning to dodge around a squat green tree. She raced onto the Beach, aiming for the wooden row boat. The girl leaps into the front section of the boat. She turns to see how her mate is faring. Faith saw Iris and Ashlyn catch up with Dale. Iris was an archer and had to fight to try and draw in close range. Ashlyn had no such problem. The small girl threw herself at the large shepard fearlessly. "Catch her!" Faith shouted. "Feather!"Dale grabbed Ashlyn's outstretched arm and pulls her into an armbar. He pulls her body close to him, blocking his own torso. Ashlyn attempts to break free from Dale, but she is held tight to him. From the boat, Faith threw three shurikens at the two people. She took care to avoid her district mate and struck Ashlyn with shurikens three times. 2013-10-11 00:50:20 Iris rolled 6 dice to "Footchase round 4" 6,2,10,9,6,3,7 (2 successes) 2013-10-11 00:49:08 Brad rolled 4 dice to "Footchase round 4" 8,4,3,6 (1 successes) 2013-10-11 00:46:54 Ashlyn rolled 6 dice to "Footchase round 4 (-1 knee injury)" 3,6,8,9,3,4 (2 successes) 2013-10-11 00:45:35 Dale rolled 6 dice to "Footchase round 4" 9,6,8,7,4,5 (2 successes) 2013-10-11 00:43:42 Faith rolled 7 dice to "Footchase round 4" 7,1,9,3,10,10,3,5,6 (3 successes) Link Isaac rolled 7 dice to "Footchase" 10,7,2,9,6,1,6,6 (2 successes)
Dale rolled 4 dice to "Brawling with Ashlyn" 4,4,1,8 (1 successes) Ashlyn rolled 5 dice to "Breaking free from Dale [-4]" 2,1,2,6,7 (0 successes) Faith rolled 6 dice to "Throwing shurikens at Ashlyn(No def-2 for Dale's proximity) -2 " 3,6,8,3,8,3 (2 successes) Link 2013-10-11 01:01:40 Faith rolled 7 dice to "Throwing shurikens at Ashlyn(No def-2 for Dale's proximity-1 throw 2)" 1,5,7,7,10,3,10,10,6,1 (3 successes) Link 2013-10-11 01:00:59 Faith rolled 8 dice to "Throwing shurikens at Ashlyn(No def-2 for Dale's proximity)" 7,3,1,4,8,7,4,9 (2 successes) " "I'm going after him." Isaac states to Olivia and Zale. "Ashlyn looks defenseless. This - this isn't right."Isaac catches up with Dale and Ashlyn. Due to Ashlyn being under Dale's strength, Isaac is hindered in where he can attack Dale. He avoids the torso and shoulders where a miss could hurt Ashlyn. He attempts to spear Dale's foot but the spear strikes the sand harmlessly. "Back off." Faith warns. "All of you back off or I throw again. Go back there with Zale and Olivia." She orders Iris and Isaac. Iris glances towards Zale, seeking guidance.

[/SIZE] “Show me the path I must walk and do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.”[/color][/font][/center] Olivia cursed apparently despite being on guard, Faith had been able to get her. She sighed, feeling a bit woozy. She shook her head, telling herself to snap out of it. “Let us collect our people and we'll back off, Faith! Don't and we're all coming in.” She looked glanced at Zale, Riva, and Caleb. “They have to die...” Her voice was soft and her throat tightened. “I know this isn't going to be easy for you Caleb but in order for one of us to get home, people have to die. The One forgive me, but it's true.” [Olivia's dodging. Def of 8]

Caleb's eyes darted among the flying blades, and the combat he could see. "Go help."He didn't think it was Eris or Kris who'd thrown those blades... At least, not Kris. He held his breath. As Faith took to the boat, he shook his head. It was their way out, their way off. And she was threatening them. And his love, his lover pointed out the harsh reality. Caleb couldn't save everyone. But... "I could hit her hand from here... I know I can." He hefted his bow, sliding an arrow out of the quiver and drew up and on target quickly, closing his eyes at the last moment as he loosed the arrow... Which would account for why he didn't hit her hand. Caleb Hunnington rolled 13 dice to "Throat shot on Faith + WP. (5+5+1+3+2+3-3-3=" 9,5,4,3,4,5,7,5,3,8,9,7,6 (3 successes) Hit points: 24/24 Defense: 5 + 3 armor (3 chest) Willpower: 3/5 Caleb’s Mantra of the Dead: Lazuli Somnus

"What is dead may never die."[/i][/color] Sheet[/center] Riva was hit. With Shurikens, and what he saw so very clearly that no one else seemed to see... ...Faith had throwing knives. Not shurikens. And Eris--according to the others--could use shurikens, and could even throw more than one at a time. Still, that thing looked far too...androgynous to be a person. And the way it shimmered out of existence... A new kind of Mutt? It didn't matter. It was still too close to them, and had hit Riva and Olivia with shurikens. There was no way he was going to let that slide--he had made a promise--, and while everyone went after Faith and Dale... "...Someone must get Ashlynn away from Dale. And finish off Faith." He was looking in a completely different direction than those two though. Watching nearly imperceptible footprints.... And then, without warning, he struck, attacking what seemed to be thin air... ...But he definitely hit something. He was sure of it.

Round 5
"Caleb!" Faith barked shortly, stumbling in the boat. The girl threw the blade forward, catching Caleb's left arm. The shallow cut wasn't impressive, but the momentum sent Faith crashing down to the bottom of the boat. Was she badly wounded? It was impossible to tell in the encrouching darkness. "Nice honor." Dale observes, splashing into the ocean towards the boat. He drags Ashlyn into the water with him. Blood drips down from Ashlyn's belly down into the darkening waves. The girl struggles against Dale's strength. The girl managed to shove Dale's arm off her and struggle a step away from the brute. Dale ignored Ashlyn's escape and continued into the boat, sitting by the oars. As Zale pierced the flesh of the pale, androgynous mutuation, the expressionless beast grimanced. The pale hand swatted out at Zale, slicing across the chest and his armor alike. A jagged cut was across Zale's chest, having sliced a small indentation in Zale's armor. Dupioni had been holding both of her knives nervously while watching the boat confrontation. At seeing Zale's strange attacker, the girl attacked twice with her knives. The ferocity of her attacks would leave her open to be attacked in turn. Dupioni scored two shallow cuts to the creature's left arm. At Zale's attack, a white bodied androgynous mutation rose from its knees behind Olivia and Caleb. Riva threw one of her throwing knives at the second Beast. Her natural ability seemed hampered by the Beast's quick reflexes. The beast dodged the full brunt of the throw, earning a shallow cut on its' chest. Theodore rolled 4 dice to "Stabbing Beast #1" 2,2,4,1 (0 successes Dupioni rolled 7 dice to "Focused Attack (3) - 1 Beast 1" 2,9,2,3,7,2,3 (1 successes) Link 2013-10-12 19:50:11 Dupioni rolled 8 dice to "Focused Attack (3) Beast 1" 5,1,4,4,5,8,10,3,3 (2 successes) Link 2013-10-12 19:48:16 Riva rolled 3 dice to "Throwing knives [Beast 2]" 7,2,10,2 (1 successes) Link 2013-10-12 19:47:18 Beast 2 rolled 9 dice to "Attacking Riva [12 - 3]" 5,9,6,8,9,2,8,7,8 (5 successes) Link 2013-10-12 19:37:46 Beast 1 rolled 7 dice to "Attacking Zale [12 - 3 - 2]" 2,2,10,3,10,3,2,5,8 (3 successes) Link 2013-10-12 19:36:19 Faith rolled 5 dice to "Throwing knives [Caleb]" 8,6,6,3,4 (1 successes) Dale rolled 4 dice to "Brawling with Ashlyn" 10,3,9,7,2 (2 successes) Ashlyn rolled 5 dice to "Breaking free from Dale" 8,4,2,10,4,10,6 (3 successes)
Added Oct 14, 2013, 11:21am "Ashlyn." Brad groans as the girl stumbles free of Dale's grasp. The muscular girl places a hand to her left arm and torso, looking at the hand that comes away sticky with blood with mild concern. The girl stumbles out of the surf and Brad pulls her onto the sandy beach. Putting a protective arm under her shoulder, he guides her past Isaac and Iris. Isaac turns and looks at the commotion occurring by the treeline near Caleb, Olivia and Zale. "Something is happening. They could be in danger.""We should finish them off." Iris disagrees, pointing towards the departing boat under Dale's control. Dale has taken up the oars and has put his back into pushing the boat farther into the ocean. The gloom descends out over the ocean,making Dale a black shape on the murky moving ocean. The boat jumps and drops over the choppy water but its certainly pulling away from shore. Of Titan and Star, there is no sign. Dale's boat is now fifteen feet away. There is no sign of Faith who had fallen to the bottom of the boat last time you saw her. "Zale." Ashlyn winces as she pulls free of Brad and steps away from the beach. "Iris, Riven and the others have not rejoined us. We should stay together."Iris scowls after Dale's boat, stating. "Fine. But I want them."The girl draws her bowstring and looses an arrow at the conflict. She has chosen the Beast attacking Zale. "Together..." Iris suddenly starts. "Sam. He's unconscious back where Dale hit him.""I'll rouse him." Ashlyn assures her. "Stay in the fight."Iris hesitates a moment, but in the end agrees with Ashlyn. The tall girl from eleven falls in step after Isaac and Brad who are already walking to Zale, Caleb and Liv. Ashlyn turns on her headlight and attaches it to her head, plunging into the treeline in the direction of Sam's unconscious body. Isaac adjusted his grip on the spear and moved towards Caleb, Liv and Zale's position with Brad and Iris. Upon reaching them, Brad inquired: "Who are we attacking?" In the chaos, the milk - white bodies were nearly blocked by the attacking tributes. Brad gave a start as one of the creatures in front of Zale turned to face him. "Ugh." Brad grimaced as he attacked with his sword, aiming for the exposed chest. "The Eris - thing?" Isaac asks Caleb and Olivia as he watches Brad's attack. He takes a moment to heft up his spear and watch the mutt move. When he's found its' gait, he thrusts forward with his spear. "Focus." Riva advises the new arrivals. "We outnumber them greatly, but they are very strong."The girl from four throws her knife at the first one that she had attacked. She winces, pressing a hand to her wound. Dupioni dances forward with both knives glinting, aiming for the same beast as before. Theodore aims for the beast that has harmed Riva. "Step back." Willow advises, leveling her bow at the one that has harmed Riva. Theo and Dupioni earn the greatest cuts to the beast. The two beasts exchanged a look and turned, departing deeper into the trees. From years of watching the Games, the children knew that certain areas of the Arena were rigged for certain traps. Perhaps the mutations were also rigged to respond to certain stimuli - such as a round of such greatly choreographed attacks. "Should we go after them?""Its dark." Riva frowned. "If this is their territory, we wouldn't accomplish much." She turns to Iris. "Dale and Faith?" "They got away." Iris bit off. "But I didn't see Faith re- appear or attack. She must be bad off."Riva nodded, gesturing towards the beach. "Lets get to the edge of the tree line. Iris, Willow - could you watch the trees for the mutts? You did well with your arrows."The girls verbally agree with Riva. No one protests moving to the edge of the tree line, where only one or two trees or shrubs separate them from the sand of the beach. Parachutes begin to drift down to the gathered group. District 4's Zale opens arm bracers of fine quality. His mate receives [+3] bevor to protect her neck, which Riva dons immediately. District 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 all receive parachutes. District eight has received a four person raft which they are very excited about. "I want to go after them." Isaac stated, cradling a groggy Psyche in his arms and looking at the raft. Ashlyn re - appears, half dragging Sam who is quickly settled between her and Iris. The group quiets as it begins to unwrap the parachutes. "Not now." Riva frowns. "Sharks hunt at dawn and dusk. You also couldn't see any rocks when you approach the island... "Pan and Sam look through the parachutes for seven and eleven as the girls are focused on scanning the trees behind them. "Should we stay here?" Riva asks Zale. "We'd be more exposed on the beach, but we'd see the mutts coming. Here we have a little more cover, but we could be surprised. At least we can't be surrounded. We can always run to the sea."As the girl finished her question, two sharp cannons sounded. "Faith?" Someone hoped. "Whose the other?" When the chords of the Capitol's anthem played, the group stared sky ward. The faces and numbers displayed above were Eris Kyros of District three and Kris Linkletter of District 3. "Oooh." Willow closes her eyes for a moment. "Two of our own."Pan puts his arm around Willow's shoulder, leaning his head down over her head. His face is grim. "No.." Psyche squeezes her eyes shut and Isaac continues to hold her in his arms on the ground. Isaac's eyes seem to shine brightly with tears. The news was unwelcome among Caleb and Olivia's alliance. Yet they now sat with a larger alliance - one of the largest in history. Fourteen tributes sit together on the beach, staring at the fading anthem. Four have escaped to islands one or two and three are above them on the cliffs. Where would they go in the morning? Would they form an alliance with so many tributes? Added 10/15As Caleb, Olivia and Zale watched the anthem, they began to feel itchy. Unseen mites crawled along the bloodied wounds, licking up nutrients. In the darkness, it was difficult to see one another as only Ashlyn had activated a light. The saliva deposited caused one's blood to thin, suddenly worrying the three when they realize that blood was now flowing freely from their wounds. Caleb, Olivia and Zale suddenly feel weak and sit down on the sandy ground, hovering at one hit point. Rolls: Brad rolled 6 dice to "Attacking beast [10 - 4]" 4,1,6,6,9,2 (1 successes) Link 2013-10-14 19:55:42 Willow rolled 10 dice to "Shooting Beast" 3,5,2,9,5,5,1,4,10,1,6 (2 successes) Link 2013-10-14 19:55:21 Iris rolled 10 dice to "Shooting Beast" 8,5,8,5,4,5,2,4,4,3 (2 successes) Link 2013-10-14 19:54:52 Isaac rolled 6 dice to "Attacking" 7,1,8,1,1,10,5 (2 successes) Link 2013-10-14 19:53:41 Riva rolled 3 dice to "Throwing knives [Beast 2]" 1,3,5 (0 successes) Link

Through out the night, the other tributes arranged for watches. The watches by 2 hour increments: - Iris, Riva, Willow, Pan took the first watch
- Sam, Zale, Dupioni, Pysche took the 2nd
watch
- Riva, Ashlyn, Isaac, Theodore took the 3rd
watch
- Caleb, Willow, Olivia, Zale took the 4th
watch
As the day passed, the group pooled thier resources over meals. Sam offered 8 servings of bacon cassarole that Theodore contributed 4 granola bars to. As the afternoon approached, the noon meal was discussed. "We should decide what to do." Theodore stated. "I saw we go across the water after Dale and Faith." "I agree." Isaac agreed immediately. "We shouldn't let them have too much time to recover." "We need water. " Willow stated. "Perhaps we should split up for the best chances of finding it. Pan, perhaps we could check out the more green island." "Caleb, Olivia - would you want to check out the other island?" Pan asked Caleb and Olivia. "Perhaps we should split up for the best chances."

[/SIZE] “Show me the path I must walk and do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.”[/color][/font][/center] Liv looked around at Zale, Caleb, and Riva. “We can't move. We were hurt pretty badly. We're unfit for travel. And we'd be more of a burden than a help at this point. Maybe we should split up. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. So whoever wants to go...”

"You're hurt, not dead." Isaac stated quietly. "Leaving you isn't something we're happy to do.""We're about out of water." Psyche declared. "We do need to find some or we're going to be in trouble...""You two could go get some water." Riva suggested. "Without it, you'll die. We haven't had any dropped in, which means that its getting expensive. Ashlyn and Sam, wash out your wounds." Riva handed over her own skin. She reached inside her bag and pulled out her two medical kits. "Does any one have medical knowledge?" "I'm going to stand watch," Riva told the group. "- Isaac, care to join me?"The girl readied a net and stood beside Isaac, watching the beach and the tree line in the night gloom. The others settled around in a circle in the sand, talking quietly. "Maybe some of us should go look for water," Psyche said. "- but we can't leave Liv and Caleb like this.""The guard idea." Willow replied. "I took a gallon of water at the cavern. I'll fill your & Isaac's skins before you go, giving Pan and I a half day supply of water.""Thats not much for you-" Psyche protested. "If you find water, you'll be helping all of us. Pan and I could stay with Olivia and Caleb."The two girls look over to Liv and Caleb. "What do you think?""Here." Ashlyn took one of the kits and sat cross legged across from Olivia. "Let me see your cut, Olivia."The girl washed out the wound and placed antiseptic gel upon it. The wound still looked nasty and Ashlyn took another pass at it. Concerned with the severity of Olivia's wounds, she uses a 15 gram packet of Celox on the wound for instand relief. Ashlyn placed a clean bandage on the wound, but Olivia felt only marginally better. Ashlyn rolled 6 dice to "Medicine (Olivia)" 7,6,1,1,1,10,5 (1 successes) Ashlyn rolled 6 dice to "Medicine (Olivia)" 3,6,7,7,9,2 (1 successes) "Not my best work." Ashlyn admitted. "I may be nervous working on you. Here's Riva's medical kit. You'll probably do better than I. Zale, mind if I see your cuts?" Olivia looks at Riva's kit and sees that it has enough supplies for 6 more medical attempts. With the two in Olivia's own kit, she can heal 8 more times. Olivia also has special items in her Doctor's Bag that could give more aid.Olivia is healed for 4 damage - 2 for healing rolls, 2 for use of Celox, bringing her to 5 hp
Olivia's Doctor Bag gives + 3 to healing and has 2 Morphine vials 2 syringes (sterile) 2 antibiotics in pill form (oral) 2 sedatives in pill form (oral) 2 adrenaline shots (to assist in revival) 1 scalpel 1 bone saw two clamps 1 separator five face masks four pairs of gloves 2 pairs of magnifying glasses one handheld spotlight Ashlyn begins her work on Zale, starting with the cut on his chest. She washes and applies anti - infection gel to it. After applying a clean bandage, she inquires. "Where are your other wounds?"Seeing his arm, she cleanses the wound and wipes her own hands down with alcohol before working. She places wound closure strips along the wound for the skin to knit. She fares better on Zale's wounds. Ashlyn rolled 6 dice to "Medicine (Zale)" 3,8,10,6,1,4,1 (2 successes) Ashlyn rolled 6 dice to "Medicine (Zale)" 3,1,9,10,3,10,2,9 (4 successes)
Zale is healed for 6 points, bringing him to 7 hp Ashlyn wipes a trickle of blood from her arm, a tell tale sign that her own knife wounds from Faith and the mutations have not been bandaged as yet. "Whose next?" Her eyes move towards Caleb.

"No. But a good trip and fall will likely kill us." Zale smiled a little. It was a joke, but it probably came across as 'not a joke'. He had an odd sense of humor, he supposed.
There was a sliding look to Riva. To Olivia. To Caleb. "...I apologize. It was much funnier up here."
He pointed to his head.
There was a look to Ashlynn and Brad. "If you must go, then you must. Olivia and I are capable of seeing to wounds. We will stay with Olivia and Caleb." He nodded. "You are good allies, but I fear for Riven and the others. I fear for you both if you stay with us and end up dehydrated for your trouble."
He wouldn't have it, and that was obvious on his face. He would not be responsible for that. A good death? Happily. A death like that? Never in a million years.
"Do as you need. This one will hold nothing against you."

[/SIZE] “Show me the path I must walk and do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.”[/color][/font][/center] “It may be a good idea. But I don't like the face that you two would be going alone and wouldn't be able to talk with us...” Liv said. Then it clicked. “The radios that Riven gave us. Psyche and Issac can take one radio. We'll have the other. We you find water let us know.” Olivia clicked the radio she had and tried to contact Riven. “Riven... are you okay? It's Olivia.” She nodded to Ashlynn. “Thank you.” She said. Liv worked on her own wounds. Completely using up her own medkit. But thankfully she had Riva's which was accepted graciously. “We need to eat and the really injured need to rest... Does anyone know how to make shelters?” Liv asked, holding onto Caleb. She kissed him. “It's going to be okay. I'm going to get us through this.” Olivia Tully rolled 11 dice to "healing like a boss" 10,6,1,10,3,1,2,9,4,2,7,1,5 (3 successes) Olivia Tully rolled 11 dice to "healing like a boss" 6,7,7,6,6,5,7,7,1,6,9 (1 successes)

"Thank you, Olivia." Psyche accepts the radio and slips it onto her belt. "You'll be careful, won't you?" The girl looks from Caleb to Olivia, her lower lip trembling. "I understand." Isaac extends his hand to Zale. "This isn't breaking up our trust. We'll come back to you.""As its our raft, we'll help you out with that." Dupioni smiled to Psyche and Isaac. "We'll leave at dawn." "I think we need to get water." Ashlyn declares. "We also need to see what the others are up to. Having the majority of the tributes on this beach makes me nervous."As the tributes discuss their plans, a startling noise sounds from the green island. Cannon!Somewhere on the island Dale, Faith, Star or Titan has perished.

[/SIZE] “Show me the path I must walk and do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.”[/color][/font][/center] Olivia put her hand on Psyche's shoulder and smiled. “Of course. But you promise to be care too. And make it safely back.” She told the people that were leaving at dawn to “Wake me up before you all leave. It's a shame you probably won't get to see us married...” She looked at Ashlynn and nodded. “We have enough water until morning. I think. We should rest, eat, and set up shelter.” Liv would have said more but the cannon sounded. “We'll know who it was when the anthem sounds.”

Caleb had all but frozen as his arrow missed his intended target and landed one far more critical. He didn't exactly sink under the pressure of what he might have done... but, he did shut down. He didn't feel the knife skitter across his arm, and was only vaguely aware when Ashlyn tended his wound. He was only more aware of Liv and her actions, hearing her words and voice, though not quite understanding them. It was the blast of the cannon, some in-describable time later, that shook Caleb once more from his 'revery.' "Was Faith," Caleb murmured quietly in response to the cannon. He'd done better with his arrow than expected. A throat shot would be difficult to repair under the best conditions. "Shelter's a good idea... A great idea... building something, not destroying.."He cast a quick glance at the bow in his hand before placing it beside Liv. "I... Ashlyn, thank you for binding my arm... Zale, Riva... if I could help build... It would be appreciated."Hit points: 24/24 Defense: 5 + 3 armor (3 chest) Willpower: 3/5 Caleb’s Mantra of the Dead: Lazuli Somnus

"Yes, I can make some shelter. It is known." Riva replied. "Zale, did you take the tents and sleeping bags we had from the other night?"Willow and Pan joined Riva in gathering materials to make shelter. Wind breaks were erected, for sleeping on the sandy beach would surely have a cold front moving in. It took nearly an hour to erect two sleeping shells from palm fronds and broken branches. The evening settles into darknessThe anthem begins to play and only one face is projected into the sky. Would it be a former friend? No. It was Dale, Faith's district mate from ten. People began to settle down for the night which already promised to be cold... Zale found the note from his mentors again which read: You should ally with those you trust. We will work with District 6 to find a good story to get you more air time. Please be proactive. One is promising to try and steal attention if the Games proceed slowly.
Psyche settled down next to Isaac, sharing the warmth of his blanket. The chill wafted over from the ocean, settling into bones and making one's breath waft out in vapors. The girl closed her eyes but they opened almost immediately, staring out at the dark shapes of the treeline. "Think the mutts are out there? Watching us?" "No." Riva lied. "Mutts are animals, just as we are. Animal must sleep. It is known." "Do you think that they're okay?" Psyche's voice was barely a whisper. "Olivia and Caleb? Olivia says that they can't move... but they're so strong. " Riva started when she glanced over at the other girl and saw her face open and unguarded as Psyche stared skyward. The girl was only fifteen, barely a young woman. The brave words, the quick knives... for all Psyche tried to be mature, she was immature. The harping on about water earlier in the day paired with the reluctance to leave Liv and Caleb to go and find it... Water represented Psyche's security; Caleb and Liv were Psyche's family group here. Those two were the people who had told her what to do and provided for her, as parents might. "Caleb and Olivia are honorable warriors. We cannot leave them." "I won't." "Isaac says we should go, leave Willow and Pan here." "Isaac wants to get you water. If you find it, you can bring some back to us." "Do you think the Gamemakers would make a rule change, again? Make five victors like in the #25th Hunger Games?" "There were five in the Quarter Quell because of the number of sacrifices taken originally." Riva said gently. "But they were so good, they took all of the victor bracelets." Psyche said sleepily. "Maybe they'll see how good Caleb and Liv are..." Riva turned from the girl and scanned the curved trunks of the treeline. She could see now how dangerous it was care for tributes of another district as Lallek and Jan had. As Jasmine and Rory had cared for one another. She'd heard the whisper of a rumor at the training center of what people thought of the girl from eleven for choosing district seven first. And Jasmine and Sorrel are alive and Odin is dead. Maybe she knew what she was doing all along. "Rest," Riva said quietly, uncomfortable with the conversation and the thoughts in her head. The morning rolled across the beach with pink kissed clouds. Sleepy tributes yawned and stretched when prodded by the tributes of the last watch. Ashlyn was the last to wake, curled tightly in her blanket. Brad spied spots of blood on it when he pulled it from her. "You're wounds opened in the night.." He worried as he opened his skin, gesturing. "Wash them out and we'll get some bandages on them. " Brad knelled beside Ashlyn as she modestly cleaned her chest wounds behind the blanket. He examined her knee, remembering to pull the knee brace from Ashlyn's bag. He helped the girl put on the brace and she was able to stand without assistance. Riva took a knee beside Zale to check on his wounds. She had been very concerned about him earlier in the day. "I'm going to do some fishing." She stated to him. "Would you like to join me?" As Zale spoke with Riva, he noticed that Riva's arm had a crusty red scab on it from her wound. No one had tended her wounds.

"What is dead may never die."[/i][/color] Sheet[/center] Ally with those they trusted. Wasn't that what they'd done? 'Be Proactive'? Wasn't that what he'd done when he'd attacked those District Ten Tributes? What more did they want? It was difficult to be proactive when the Gamemakers wouldn't stop throwing Mutts at everyone even when they were in combat. This place...it was godless. This was no true battle. It was a slaughter. It was a bunch of bored rich people with nothing better to do than watch people bleed and die on screen. It was hateful and wrong, and against The One. If he got out of this place... ...He would see to it that this horrible thing stopped. If it were the last thing he did, he would see the end of it. "Godlessness...." He blinked, looking at Riva when she asked him if he wanted to fish. He started to nod, and then took hold of Riva's good arm to stop her from moving. "No one has seen to your wounds." Zale's eyes narrowed. "Why did you not say anything? We go nowhere until you're seen to."He frowned, looking over at Olivia. "Olivia. Could you see to Riva's wound?"

[/SIZE] “Show me the path I must walk and do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.”[/color][/font][/center] She stirred in Caleb's embrace at Zale's words. Olivia would leave him sleeping for now. After all, if Zale had time, if they all had time, they'd be married today. She looked at the ring on her finger and almost smiled. Almost. This wasn't a happy occasion. Because there were only three outcomes. The first seemed to be the best. They both perish in the arena. The second and third options saw one or the other widowed. Like her mother had been. Despite being a strong woman, Liv remembered how hard it was for Mira Tully in those first few years after her father's death. She kissed Caleb's forehead and prayed silently before she walked over to Zale and Riva. “What's wrong?” Olivia asked, taking out her doctor bag. The contents of the medkit where inside as well as the supplies the bag... uh... supplied. She looked over Riva's wound and frowned. “Riva, you should have said something. I would have taken care of this early...” She gave her two oral antibiotics and cleaned the girl's wound as best as she could. Liv knew she'd need better meds than what Liv had given her. “Hopefully, the sponsors sends us something that you'll need. I only managed to clean it and hopefully slow down the infection.”Olivia Tully rolled 11 dice to "[Intelligence 3 + Medicine 4 + Specialty (1) + Willpower (3)]" 5,7,2,8,7,5,4,5,9,1,4 (2 successes) Olivia Tully rolled 11 dice to "[Dexterity 3 + Medicine 4 + Specialty (1) + Medkit (2) + Help (1)]" 3,8,4,6,3,10,8,7,3,9,2,6 (4 successes)

"There were three people in much worse condition than myself. Ashlyn had been cut three times in thirty seconds last night. I received only a small wound from the mutation. Thankyou, Olivia." Riva inspected her treated arm, now seeming to be more concerned about it.
Riva seemed to feel fine, she spent an hour on the shore with her net. Riva rolled 7 dice to "Harvesting Sea Food" 1,7,10,10,8,2,1,5,3 (3 successes) Link 2013-10-22 23:28:00 Riva rolled 7 dice to "Harvesting Sea Food" 10,7,9,10,1,10,6,4,4,7 (4 successes)
She threw out her net several times and returned with a net that contained two small fish and two crabs. She sat down, requested a knife and prepared to filet the meal. "It will go farther in a stew. It is known"
"Olivia? Zale?" The radios that Ashlyn and Psyche wore crackled. "It's Diedre. We heard the cannon. Are you all right?"

Caleb slept. Or, more accurately, lapsed into unconsciousness in Liv's arms after murmuring quietly to himself four names. Names he'd not forget...Not now now and not when he stood before the One. If he lived long enough, he'd add more to that list. Weight to his soul of people who died because of him. Because he couldn't protect them... or because he had ended them. He felt Liv rise before he was ready. Though, truth be told, he wasn't sure he'd ever be ready to rise and face the day. He lay a while longer, quietly listening to the others before forcing himself to get up and slowly pack their bags. He wasn't feeling hungry, despite the activity and burning of calories the day before, but knew he should eat. He packed the last few items into his duffel before moving to join the others. He'd take a smaller portion if it came down to it. At the sound of the radio, his head cocked to the side. "Let them know we're okay... it was likely Faith." His spirit was lifted slightly at the concern from the others calling over the radio... and sank again with the murmured reminder he'd probably killed the night before.

Zale Sewell; District 4's Male Warrior for The Battle: The Fortuneteller's Son [/u] "Danger is very real, but fear? Fear is a choice." "What is dead may never die."[/i][/color] Sheet[/center] He looked to Liv, and then frowned at the wound on Riva. It was infected, and while she knew she needed more, he had to depend on sponsors. Which meant they had to start hunting other Tributes. And soon. The sound of Diedre in his ear had him stopping. "We are well. I will assume you are as well."He'd picked up his spear and had been moving toward the beach, his toes were barely to the water. Riva was further down casting her net, and he moved in until he was knee deep, and was standing...still and watching the water. Waiting for the fish to come. He brought his own catch back--which wasn't a bad catch at all, honestly--and put it beside Riva. He started scaling the fish and cleaning them, wrapping them in whatever seaweed or kelp he'd found and laying them on the embers of their fire. Even if they hadn't done this...if he and Riva had gone it alone, he was confident they likely would have been able to survive for quite a long time. "Hopefully, the others will bring back water. I will begin building a shelter for us." He frowned, looking sidelong at his District Partner. "Hyperion says we are to be 'proactive'. If someone is to go home--be it us or anyone else--we must start hunting."2013-10-23 14:06:47 [HG27] Zale Sewell rolled 11 dice to "Spear Fishing" 8,5,4,9,10,9,4,1,2,4,9,2 (5 successes) 2013-10-23 14:07:58 [HG27] Zale Sewell rolled 11 dice to "Spear Fishing" 6,7,3,2,5,5,10,9,7,4,6,9 (3 successes) 2013-10-23 15:25:10 [HG27] Zale Sewell rolled 7 dice to "Keeping an eye out for Seaweed (The Edible Kind)" 5,7,2,7,8,1,10,1 (2 successes) [/li][li] Bevor [+2] [/li][li] Chest Plate [+2][/spoiler] - (1) +1 Spear

"We're fine." Ashlyn says to the radio. "Why aren't you down here?" "Oh, theres some deer - things blocking the path down. They walk by in twos or threes. They look like mutts; so we're not sure..." "Are the others okay?" "Yeah. I'm the one watching the path... oh, I may be able to sneak down behind the stags' back. Maybe I'll see you soon."
10 A.M.
Zale brought back four plump fish to camp. Riva sat beside Zale and assisted him in filleting the days catch. She was quiet and seemed fine, although she relaxed as the sun began to rise above their heads. The girl laid out under the sun for a moment, enjoying the warmth. She suddenly frowned skyward, realizing. "We ought to watch for sunburn."
Willow and Pan watched the cleaning of the fish and brought back seaweed that they gathered from the surf, assisting in the cleaning.
"Well, we'd better be off." Psyche said heavily. "Suns well up. We don't have to worry about hitting the rocks unaware."
"Thank you for all of your help, Liv, Caleb." Isaac extended his hand to Caleb and Liv. "We'll be back as soon as we find some water." "Goodbye, Liv, Caleb, Zale and Riva." Theodore nods to the four. "Best of luck."
