"Help.... Please...."
The voice was faint, but it was definitely coming from ahead... Now, to make sure not to get lost in the woods.
[OOC INSTRUCTIONS
The following is a mini CYOA, and your character's survival would depend on two things - how well you pick, and your dice luck. So be sure to pray to the dice gods before starting! Pick the option your character is most likely to take, and click on the respective spoiler tag.
- STEPS TO TAKE:
If you are NOT ALONE, go to the Classroom subforum, and create a thread for your Team with [FT CYOA] NAMES OF ALL MEMBERS as the title; this will reduce clutter in this thread & make it easier for your Team to organize yourselves.
If you are ALONE, there's no need for a thread. Just do the CYOA in this thread; however, remember that you are not able to see/hear the other students!
Follow the instructions as per the CYOA route taken; most of the options actually do not require everyone to do the same thing since it depends on your rolls.
Thus, other than when the CYOA requires you to reach a decision as a Team, if someone is not able to be online at the same time, the rest of the Team can go ahead first with their rolls; ICly, the Team is still moving together though!
You have 60 hours!
If you have questions, do not hesitate to IM me at XDragain, PM me on Gaia, or *summon me to your room by yelling "DURIANS!" out your window at 3am in the morning.
*I will not be held responsible for any legal action taken against you.]
Start
You find yourself immobilized, and upon closer inspection, realized that you had walked into what looked like a web...
emotion_bigvein Action: Is your student alone, or with at least one team member?
If your student is alone
As you struggled to get free, a dull brown creature that looked like a cross between a spider and a scorpion - a scorpider? - approached from the side of the web. Probably panicked, you struggle, and struggle, probably regretting being alone since there was nobody to help you break free. However, there was no way you're going down without a fight!

Against all odds, you managed to break free of the web. However, as you escaped, the scorpider hissed, and sprayed webbing in your direction. It corroded away clothing and even skin, leaving you with painful looking wounds.

emotion_bigvein Action: Continue your adventure by following these steps
- Check the subforum for threads of Teams whose adventure hadn't ended yet.
As long as the Team in question is not at the final stop (aka at Leroy/Malcolm's tent), you can have your student join them, and continue at the same point; you cannot join the thread of someone who is alone.
You must get OOC permission from that student's RPer; for example, if I want to have my student join Cricket at her stop in the CYOA, I must first ask Pach if she's okay with it. If the student you want to join is in a group, I do not expect you to ask everyone in the group as that would be confusing; just get the permission of one of the people in the group, since they would most likely help you ask the rest!
Once you get the OOC permission, go ahead and have your student join their group (ICly, it is up to you to decide how it happens; does your student just stalk/silently follow, or do they approach, or maybe they walked right into them), in order to look for the source of the voice.

The odds were not in your favor, and you could only watch helplessly as the scorpider wrapped you up in one of its webs. Cocooned in the web, you felt unusually... Warm and smug. Like a baby bundled up in soft blankets. Slowly, you drifted off to sleep...

The dream felt so real... Then again, it was once real - you were, after all, dreaming of an event that had happened to you in the past.

Maybe you should have stayed home.

With more than one of you struggling to get free, the web broke before whatever made the web could get to you... But what if it could lead you to a clue as to where the source of the voice is?

Before long, a dull brown creature that looked like a mix between a scorpion and a spider - a scorpider? - appeared, creeping down a nearby tree. Realizing that its web was broken, it hissed loudly. Soon, your team would find yourselves surrounded by five of the hissing, angry looking creatures... It was time for a hoard battle.

You somehow managed to dodge all the acidic webbing the scorpiders were spewing out, and knocked out all of them with punches and kicks and random arm flailing. After more hissing and web spewing, the scorpiders retreated back to the big a** tree tops.
It was a miracle that the whole Team got out of the ordeal without any injuries. As you kept moving forward, you realized that the sound of running water was getting louder. However, it was still impossible to see through the mist... Which proved to be a hazard as someone in your Team almost stepped right into a fast moving river. There was no way to tell how shallow or deep it was, but there was a path made out of flat top rocks - most likely slippery from the earlier rain - leading from one side of the river to the other...

Your Team decided that it was way too risky to stay, and hightailed it out of there. Once a safe distance away from where the webs were, you came across... A shaking boulder? It was difficult to determine what the grey blob was due to the mist, and your Team approached cautiously, trying not to alert whatever it was.
Closing in, it soon became apparent that the boulder was not a boulder at all; instead, it was a shivering old man wrapped in a grey blanket, crouching on the muddy ground. Looking up at you as you approached, he yelped out in surprise before standing up; at this time, you probably wished that the mist was a lot thicker as he was evidently stark naked. Other than the blanket, he was only wearing a white cap that resembled the Park Rangers', "JACK SENT THIS MIST. JACK SENT THIS MIST AND IT HERALDS THE END OF HALLOWEEN AS WE KNOW IT."
His expression turned grave as he wrapped the blanket tighter around his body; thankfully, that meant that the students no longer had to see what they did not want to see, "Sing Jack's praise! Sing his praises and you might be spared... Oh yes... You have a final chance at redeeming yourself..." Twitching, his eyes darted left and right, as if paranoid that something hidden in the mist was going to jump him, before he took off into the mist.
"O PRAISE THE ALSCARY JACK!"

The old man was easy to follow due to the footprints he left behind, but they disappeared abruptly by the edge of a fast flowing river; due to the rain, it had flooded its banks.

As you crossed the wooden plank, a tentacle-like appendage curled around your anklet, and pulled you into the water before your Team members could react. What felt like several tiny mouths filled with razor sharp teeth were gnawing on your flesh where the tentacle had grabbed you, but as much as you struggled, you could not free yourself from its vice-like grip.
Several times, you broke the surface, gasping for air whether you needed it or not. However, your body was quickly growing numb, and you had already lost the feeling in your fingers... Could this be the end?

There was no way you were going to follow a seemingly insane old man! Especially one who was hardly dressed. Since there was no way to tell North from South and East from West, your Team decided on a random direction. After a lot of walking, you realized that the ground was trembling... An earthquake?
Suddenly, something hairy and as thick as the big a** trees in the woods landed beside them. As it lifted back up in the air, mud was splattered on all the students in the Team. They quickly became aware that there was something huge moving above them, and that whatever had almost stepped on them probably had more legs incoming.

There was a thick rope tied to the trunk of one of the big a** trees on their side of the river, extending to another tree on the other side.
After accidentally kicking rocks into the water, and realizing that they reached the bottom fairly quickly, it was determined that the river would be shallow enough to cross if they held onto the rope...

Action: Go back to this thread; Fire-starting kit is now wet and unusable
When you awoke, coughing and expelling water from your lungs, you realized that you were back where you started - at base camp.
Action: Go back to this thread; Fire-starting kit is now wet and unusable- If there are no other members of your Team at base camp, you can choose to go solo until your Team's (hopefully) safe return or join another Team.
If there are members of your Team at base camp (they did not leave/they left but somehow got back the way you did), you may rejoin your Team.
Rejoining your team/Going solo: +10 HP to Tent HP
Joining up with a new team: Nothing happens
