Originally posted by Darlek2354Iamatiger, fatigued, hungry and sore, looks up to see Darlek sprinting directly toward him holding the head of the animal, pursued by four spear wielding men! Banana King, bruised and hungry, sits in the reeds and watches the men approach. Darlek shouts, "help help!"
A peculiar man runs screaming from the forest being chased by a horde of angry runners. He appears to be carrying the head of a very familiar looking leaper. He notices a large striped cat and a man covered in banana skins and sprints towards them seeking sanctuary
Round 1: Each player gets one action. Options include moving a square, shouting something to the pursuing hunters, using magic, or other...movement and attacks cannot happen diagonally with one exception - Spears allow diagonal attacks.
New players join in any time. There are small bands of people in the area that new people could come from. Some groups encountered were the Banana People in the forest, the wandering Singers, and now these Runners who are pursuing the 'peculiar man'. Appropriate imagination is rewarded.
In the following diagram:
WK = Banana King with Spear - bruised and hungry
WQ = iamatiger - scratched, fatigued and hungry
WR = Darlek2354 with Leaper Head
BR = Animal corpse - good eatin'
BN = Hunter with Spear
WP = Forest
BP = River
One of the hunters' (on a3) Spear has become banana peels in his hands!
Ultimate Objective - Secure access to meat or go hungry. Fruits and vegetables are not currently available for gathering.

Man and tiger eat the meat of their prey and nap to recover their energy and health. Banana King wakes up strong and refreshed very quickly. Iamatiger, on the other hand, is very tired and sore.
Eventually most of the meat has been eaten; everything that could be removed by hand and with claw and fang.
More meat will have to be captured.
Will iamatiger and Banana King use the same plan as before?
Iamatiger is feeling tired and sore because he is fighting and killing the prey by himself and then sharing the meat. The trap isn't very useful for a tiger; it's intended to help the man hunt. Iamatiger doesn't need traps to catch game.
The plan works well again. Iamatiger chases a herd animal until it slips in the deceptively slippery and soft mud near the bank of the river, prepared by Banana King with nature magic.
Will iamatiger kill the animal by himself again?
