Green Creatures are Combat 2, Defence 4, Hits 6, Move 8.

Rules (such as they are)

Spoiler: show

Marbit Island is a play-by-post game run by me. Each player will be a Marbit, looking to survive here.
Move is the most important stat. It determines the number of actions you can take in a turn - move into other hexes, gather food, cut trees, build, etc.
Post your orders on the forum. For this game, orders will be resolved in the order in which they were posted - no editing of your posts, please!
This gives an advantage to early posters to grab equipment and resources, but allows later posters to know what has happened before they give their orders.
Marbits like to eat. At least once per turn. Marbits do not eat automatically, but must be given an order to eat.
If a Marbit is unable to eat, he will become hungry. A hungry Marbit that does not eat in their turn will become ill, or cwoak.
Marbits may hold up to two items in their hands. It takes an action to equip one or more items. Excess items are dropped in the hex.
If the weather turns bad, Marbits will need to take shelter in a hut. A hut can shelter up to six Marbits.
Combat is a dangerous game, and no one is really sure just how it works. High Combat and Defence values are good. Working as a team, or 'stack' is also good.
Marbits who do not submit orders within the allotted time will default to eating once, and then singing lewd lyrics drafted into popular musicals.
NPC Marbits may be given orders by Player Marbits. It takes one action to give a set of orders to one NPC. The first player to issue orders to an NPC controls it for that turn (no befriending).
All the necessary information should be displayed on the map, above. Any questions? Just ask.

The Big Head has materialised in the North Western Hex.

He rides a mighty Big Dog, and is accompanied by a Very Big Bird.

The Big Head has Combat 6, Defence 5, Hits 12/12, Move 4.
The Big Dog has Combat +4, Defence +3, Hits +12, Move +4.
The Very Big Dog has Combat 8, Defence 4, Hits 16/16, Move 8.


The Big Head looks about him, examines the stumps, and bellows as if in very great pain.

[CroverusRaven]

Apparently all the things I've been cwoaking don't give EXP, only the altars give any levels.

M6 Monk chops last bush in hex, attacks the wild Greeney, starts making raft, is making it decently sized, makes sure raft is sturdy, uses Greeney hide to make a sail, finishes making sail, examines raft for quality, then calls to the marbits in the surrounding hexes

"We should probably leave this place soon guys! Or at least group up so we have some strength in numbers. Follow me and I will do what I can to lead you off this place."

[CroverusRaven]

Also, just so I'm clear, my stats don't include the bonuses from my weapons or gear, do they? I know I gained the 4 points to all my stats from leveling. If I include the bonuses from my gear, and Shelby, my total stats should end up being: Combat 11, Defence 10, Hits 15/16, Move 9.

And I wanted to be clear that the creatures I've killed (including 2 Big Birds, 1 VFB, and 3 Greeneys) and I defeated Big Head in combat (he didn't cwoak but I incapacitated him for the turn), none of these combat victories award me or Shelby any exp. That's what I'm getting from everything.

[The Colonel]

Where's M18?

[Swodaems]

M20 "Sod" will grab 2 meat, move SE, examine north altar in hex, and stack with Monk for defense.

[The Colonel]

Oh, there. M18 will rest for 1 turn, harvest 2 wood and use one wood to cook.

[Lamech]

M22 More Science Orders
Attack Green Creature, Equip Rock Tool, Make Hide Armor, Eat Meat

[LTDave]

O C'mon, not even a single remark about Snoopy? What is with you people! Charles Darwin is riding on a Beagle! A BEAGLE!

[Swodaems]

O C'mon, not even a single remark about Snoopy? What is with you people! Charles Darwin is riding on a Beagle! A BEAGLE!

Argh, yet again I am kicking myself for not seeing the obvious. I got the Charlie/Snoopy connection, but not that one.

I think that has to do with the fact that I don't think of Snoopy as a beagle. Snoopy is just Snoopy. His breed is somewhat forgettable.

[KF25]

Random IV moves SE, help M6.

[Lamech]

What is this snopesy you are talking about?

[WhirdCheese]

M10 will put the raft together and make more boards.

[CroverusRaven]

Wait, didn't M18 move EAST last turn? why is has he been moved west?

[Werebiscuit]

M2 Choppy will fill his backpack with meat, sacrifice the remaining beak to the stone pillar and move southeast

[LTDave]

Wait, didn't M18 move EAST last turn? why is has he been moved west?

I don't know... error on my part. Woops. Sorry, The Colonel - now I can see why you couldn't find him - why didn't you object?

Sorry.

Processing.
