Alright you clowns, we got a lot to get going. We got to dig down, mine metal, make some bricks build some forges, forge the metal, make better tools, make a better forge, make some machines and then build a boat out to get off this island!

Are the Lesser Land-Gulls smart enough to not attack a big animal like humans or has evolving for so many years without natural predators made them fearless? This is vital knowledge, since it could mean the difference between being the top of the foodchain or slaughtered in our sleep.

>>32679121

>>32680867
The only thing they fear are larger Lesser Land-Gulls.

>>32681532
Well, fuck. And there's apparently no lumber to make a good wall out of, to keep them out of camp at night. I guess we could build a wall of rocks, but that will take time. Do they fear fire?

That might take too much time. If we don't finish a wall, we can sleep in shifts.

This. If this means any RPG character from the games we're each running, we're gonna end up with all kinds of mages, space marines, robots and more, and then the actual conditions won't really matter since we can just fly away or terraform stuff or something.
If it's just us neckbeards, this would be an actual challenge.

Silly anon, you can only make boats from wood, of which there seems to be none on fern island.

Just kill as many creatures as you can and then swim away.

>>32681848
Maybe we can weave together a raft of fern fiber strong enough to support our fat asses.

>>32681848
How about making flotation devices out of inflated gull skins?

>>32678291

I take it back; we kill the dwarf, then the elf.
We'll feast like kings!

You dense mother fuckers! How can such brilliant engineers be so ignorant? Have you rocks for brains? Look around you, there are no trees! There are only ferns! FERNS! Believe me, if there were trees I would've hung myself from one long ago!

I counter that ferns are way too abundant and easy to counterfeit (they're literally everywhere) to be used as currency. Also they dry up after a while.
Bird-skulls are near impossible to falsify, and it's a renewable resource that still isn't too common.

One of you dwarves should go check that out. Just grab it with your hands. Don't bother with gloves.

>>32683127
See, this is exactly what happens when you anger the Fern Gods. Hissing ferns. But do anyone ever listen to me? Noooo...

Also go tell the elves to stop humping the ferns. Sure, we've never actually seen them do it, but everyone knows how elves are. They're definitely doing it behind our backs.

Or was that this island, I always get them confused

Okay, so...I managed to run back to camp. Okay, more like half-hopped, half-crawled to camp. I made myself a peg leg out of gull bones and fern. It's kind of itchy but it'll do.

I thought we fed you to the Giant Sponge ages ago... how did you survive?

>>32691269
I dunno, I kind of blacked out while it was swalolowing me, and next thing I know I'm on the shoreline covered in...something.

Fern moonshine is funny like that. *hic*

I think it tried to mate with you... Have you been feeling spongy lately?

Other than an alcohol sponge, I mean.

I summon something that can teleport, and order it to teleport off the island then back to me. Then I tell the next one to swim away from the island 50 meters, then teleport. Then the next 100 meters, and so on until one comes back intact.

I then see whether just jumping into the water and swimming that distance, then teleporting out of the ocean will work

It's just us neckbeards, not our characters.
So you look like some sort of Fern heretic, trying to invoke satanic rituals....
