Alright- Arn's attempting to craft the shelter I mentioned earlier, and also requested Tigress to aid him in crafting more of them- after looking at him doing it.

Day 1, Post 4
Area Recap
If knowledge is 4 or higher - the position of the sun suggests it's roughly 1:45pm.
>The weather changed from Light Rain to Rain
-Everyone but Luther is starting to feel thirsty, especially those who've been hard at work. A -1 Accuracy debuff will occur until some form of fluid is drunk.
-Hunger is starting to kick in, though it won't affect anyone yet.
-----------------------------------------
Starting Position
Area description: A large patch of thick, brown clay lays in the middle of this area - where you've all started. Long, strangely-shaped trees stretch from the ground, and a river flows gently towards the north in front of you. Yellow-green grass grows around the mud patch, and the terrain is bumpy and a little hard to navigate across. Strange plants grow in all sorts of places, with strange spirits briefly appearing once in a while. It's unclear where any direction - be it North, South, East or West - will lead, as trees block the view of the distance. You have no idea of the surrounding area, but you don't think you're near the coast. It's raining.

A new NPC: Tigress (#6) has joined the Group.
Description: Believed to be a mercenary or a trade caravan guard before SnG, Tigress is a gruff, strong, and short-tempered woman that doesn't even attempt to be sincere or kind. She speaks her mind, and is fearless when it comes to saying what she thinks of someone else, and won't even think twice about bringing up controversial topics.
Her past has been a rough road, to say the least, and the her reasons for joining SnG are unknown. Though strong and very confident in her own abilities, intelligence never really was Tigress' strong point. She hates being outsmarted, and has a grudge against mages in general. She likes to solve problems with other people through violence, and won't hesitate to fight if someone challenges her. She's boystrous and loud, and unlike some, she doesn't just keep her anger to herself.
Whilst she may seem completely unlikable, unapproachable and inconsiderate of others, she has a few soft spots here and there. Her temper can be tamed and put to use by stronger members of the group, especially if they respect her equally.
Stats
The Bear (Strength) - 8
The Mountain (Endurance) - 5
The Library (Knowledge) - 0
The Eagle (Accuracy) - 1
The Cheetah (Agility) - 3
Abilities
Born Brawler: When in combat, Tigress gains a +1 bonus to her Strength each time she successfully hits someone, going up to maximum bonus of +3 in one battle. When Tigress reaches the +3 Strength limit, her next attack will deal bonus damage, but the strength buffs will reset.
However, Tigress is completely unable to magic, and her abilities are never able to be magic-related. She's also passively unable to read or write.
Pounce: Tigress attacks and jumps onto an enemy from a medium distance away. If the target fails an Endurance check, they take bonus damage and are knocked to the ground. Pounce is much easier to dodge when the enemy is aware of Tigress' presence, however. 2 Turn Cooldown.
Ferocity: Tigress' next attack carves deeply into an enemy, making the attack cause heavy bleeding that deals small amounts of damage over time; the chance of this occurring is based on the enemy's Defence. If this attack is blocked, Tigress is vulnerable to the next attack. 2 Turn Cooldown.
The Kill: When an enemy is on very low HP (below 10%), and has been knocked over/made vulnerable/paralysed, Tigress can grab and snap the neck of her enemy, usually ending in an instant kill. If an enemy is reduced to 0 HP by The Kill, they instantly die instead of being Incapacitated. The Kill does no damage to opponents above 10% HP. 3 Turn Cooldown.
Starting Karma: Evil
Starting Weapon: Spiked Knuckles
Preferred Flavour: None of these

Alright. If everyone else wants to help out with this, we could just do a little 'timeskip' to where the shelters are built and ready, and then we can proceed onwards!

Yep~.
Then Luther drinks the (carefully so he doesn't burn himself) Then places the bowl I'm a nice open spot to collect rain water to drink

The (carefully so he doesn't burn himself) tastes good. It reminds him of the good ol' days.
Rain water seems to be filling up pretty quickly in the bowl. 7 people will probably be able to take a drink from it in the space of 1 IC turn. Tigress already drunk from the bowl the first time it filled up, then went back to work. Said she "needed it cus' of this fucking headache", or something along those lines.

We're going to need hide for waterskins if we're ever going to leave the starting zone. We're not too bad off right now, but we don't have any equipment to carry food and water.

We have a way to drink water for now though. I won't get a post up until probably some time tomorrow. So feel free to drink the water collecting this round. Considering how tigress drank some, we have 6 more helpings

Tigress didn't like that.
"And you must be a fucking idiot if you think that's a deer." She hisses. As you walk over and attempt to nudge her out the way, Tigress doesn't move an inch, standing firm. She looks you directly in the eyes, and you're close enough to see her slightly sharp teeth as she gives a forced grin.
"Haha. Funny little thing, aint'cha? But... I don't think you understand me if you reckon I'm just going to take that." She whispers loud enough for you to hear. She slowly loses her fake smile, shifting her grip on her spiked knuckles.
"Don't touch me again unless you're looking for a fight."
She turns back to work on the shelters.

"Oh, please." Tigress spits, rolling her eyes as she rips a heavy branch from a tree. "I've heard it all before. There's always someone who puts me to one side and tells me to calm down after they see what I'm like. It's like being a fucking kid again...." She mutters to herself, not caring about dirt that flicks in her face as she vigorously works.
"Look, big guy. I know I've got problems. But people just need to fucking learn that I don't just take their shit, and then we'll all be just dandy." She sighs to herself, wiping sweat and rain from her brow. Her following words are quieter. "But I'm trying. Alright? Just don't... ugh." She gets back to focusing on work.
At your next question, she doesn't respond for a long while.
"To win." She says simply. It clearly doesn't seem like she'll tell you her actual reasons for joining yet.

*Doesn't know where those characters are from*. I think I recognise the dude, but... other than that, all I can say is that Tigress isn't an angry schoolgirl. And Luther ain't... uh... that guy.

Also - yep, there's quite a few decently-sized leaves around here and there. The big red flower's petals are pretty damn huge, too.
The he shall become that guy!

She doesn't respond, and carries on working.
Side Note: Next IC post comes up on Wednesday.
