Lost

You wake up shaking. Your private jet is experiencing some severe turbulence on your flight to Iceland. You fell asleep as you were passing over the Midwest and woke up to from the rocking of the plane. All of a sudden, the plane drops and you're losing altitude fast. You fasten your seatbelt and start breathing through the mask that just came down from the ceiling. You realize you're about to die. As the ground gets closer and closer you brace for impact. You hear a loud crash from the cockpit and the plane hits something hard. You then see the front half of the plane detach from the back where you are seated, and it disappears into a forest. Your half of the plane falls backwards and comes to rest on the ground. You're alive but shaken. You undo your seatbelt and run to the front half of the plane to see if your pilot Javier is alive. He isn't. The remnants of the plane are on fire and there is a tree skewering what used to be the cockpit. Now you're alone. You take stock of your surroundings. It is a forest, thick with trees. It is cool - maybe 40-50 degrees, and it is late afternoon - maybe 3 or 4 pm. You decide that you should stay put, surely someone will come looking for you, the plane sticks out of the forest like a sore thumb after all. You decide to build a shelter and make a fire to survive the cold night that is inevitably going to come your way. You wander around and find three potential locations to set up camp. You can setup by the plane remnants. You can setup in a marshy area that has a nice rock for shelter. Or you can setup in an open field on top of a plateu. [[Crash Site->Plane]] [[Marshy Area->Marsh]] [[Plateau->Plateau]]

The pleateau is cold and windy. There are few trees around you see the sun about to set. You find some sticks nearby and try to start a fire like you saw them do on TV. ''Roll a 6-sided die. If you roll a 4 or greater you successfully started a fire. Otherwise you give up after spending two hours rubbing sticks together.'' [[Rolled a 1-3->bad]] [[Rolled a 4-6->okay]]

Fortunately for you, the fire from the plane scraps made starting your personal fire trivial, and the part of the plane that is not on fire functions as a great shelter from the elements and the predators. Once you have made yourself at home you go to sleep on the ground - dreaming of being rescued by morning. [[Wake Up->Day 2]]

You first create a very simple shelter by laying some giant sticks against the rock making a lean to. You then decide to try making a fire. The area around you is wet and marshy so this is going to be a tough task. ''Roll a 6-sided die. If you roll a 5 or a 6, you successfully started a fire. Otherwise, you give up after spending 2 hours rubbing some sticks together.'' You decide to go to sleep in your makeshift shelter and pray for rescue tomorrow. [[Wake up->Day 2]]

You survive through the night and are grateful. However, you lose a little hope as you realize no one came to your rescue overnight. You feel thirsty and decide to go looking for some fresh water. For protection, you bring a piece of scrap metal from the plane wreckage. You find a relatively clear pond not far from your camp and start drinking. You hear the sound of leaves moving behind you and quickly turn around. Staring at your is a young doe - only something is wrong. The doe turns to the side and you see it is missing a leg and has a claw mark on his shoulder - probably a bear. You start making assumptions. This doe and her mom were probably attacked by a bear and now the doe is all alone. You pity the deer. The poor thing is in pain with no one to take care of it. A horrible though pops into your head. You're stranded with no food. This deer is probably going to die anyway. You could put it out of its misery and then have food to last you for weeks. But how could you do such a thing to a baby deer like that? You start to consider your options. [[Kill the deer for food->kill]] [[Try petting the deer->befriend]]

You're cold and vulnerable. You start to rethink your decision to choose the plateau. You ponder whether you should stay out here through the night or go back to the plane so you at least have some shelter. [[Stay in the field->die]] [[Go to the plane->Plane]]

It's cold but the fire will help keep you warm enough to make it through the night. You realize, though, that you have no shelter. You are completely vulnerable to the elements and predators of the area. But you also have a good chance of being spotted by rescue by staying out in the open. On the other hand, you could go back to the plane, but leave your fire behind in place for some shelter. [[Stay on the plateau->stubborn]] [[Go to the plane->Plane]]

Having chosen a vulnerable location you die during the night to predators in the wild.

''Roll a 6-sided die.'' [[Rolled a 1->die]] [[Rolled a 2-6->Day 2]]

You pull out your sheet of scrap metal and charge at the deer. It tries to run away and falls over. You kill the deer and carry it back to your camp for food. [[Continue to camp->Day 3 - Kill]]

You hold at your hand and slowly walk toward the doe. It sniffs your hand and stands still. You start to pet it on the nose and it doesn't back away. You back up a little and it follows you. You then guide it back to the camp. [[Continue to camp->Day 3 - Befriend]]

You wake up the next morning and are still not rescued. You decide to go explore the area to see if you can see anything nearby. You go wander to a nearby hill and look around. You see something! There is a tall red structure that looks like a radio tower several miles away. You decide to prepare for the expedition and set out at next light. When you get back to camp, the deer is asleep by the fire. Next to it are some berries and leaves it had picked from nearby. You inspect the berries and decide they're probably safe to eat if the doe picked them. You eat a handful, the first food you've eaten in two days. The doe wakes up startled and calms down when it sees you. You then begin to prepare for the expedition. You gather some water and put it in a container you found from the wreckage and pack a few more berries in your pocket. You stash the metal shiv you made and set out with the deer that you named Uki. [[Start the hike->hike - befriend]]

You come across a chasm with a rope bridge going across it. It's probably not safe, but going around the chasm would take you a couple more days and you have limited food and water. You could probably make it across if you're careful but it would be risky. [[Take the rope bridge->rope bridge]] [[Take the long way around->around - kill]]

You come across a chasm with a rope bridge going across it. It's probably not safe, but going around the chasm would take you a couple more days and you have limited food and water. You could probably make it across if you're careful but it would be risky. On the other hand, going across the rope bridge would mean leaving Uki behind. [[Take the rope bridge->rope bridge]] [[Take the long way around->around - befriend]]

You start walking on the rope bridge. It shakes and creaks. You try not to look down but you can't help it. Your legs start shaking which causes the bridge to move more and more. You drop the makeshift bag you made into the chasm. You takes some deep breaths but it doesn't help. You start freaking out but you're too far across the go back now. You focus on one point across the chasm to help with balance and you finally regain some composure and start walking slowly. ''Roll a 6-sided die.'' [[Rolled a 1 or 2->die 2]] [[Rolled a 3 or higher->end rope]]

You and Uki start the long journey around the chasm and setup camp when nightfall comes. You find a large oak tree that is hollow at the bottom and curl up in it. You wake up in the middle of the night to an awful screech. You peek outside and see a bear eating something. Your heart sinks as you realize what just happened. You pray the bear doesn't smell you over the smell of Uki. You slowly move away from the bear. ''Roll a 6-sided die'' [[Rolled a 1-> die 3]] [[Rolled a 2-6->live around]]

You start the long journey around the chasm and setup camp when nightfall comes. You find a large oak tree that is hollow at the bottom and curl up in it. You wake up in the middle of the night to an awful growling. You peek outside and see a bear eating something. Your heart sinks as you realize it found the meat of the doe you stored outside. You pray the bear doesn't smell you over the smell of the meat. You slowly move away from the bear. ''Roll a 6-sided die'' [[Rolled a 1-> die 3]] [[Rolled a 2-6->live around]]

You miss a step and your lower body falls through the bridge. You catch yourself on the rope but it doesn't matter. The rope gives and detaches from the other side. The bridge falls down like the London Bridge and your journey ends.

You stealthily and successfully make it across the bridge and continue your journey to the tower. [[Continue to the tower->tower]]

After a long journey you've reached the tower. You have nothing on you and you're exhausted. You look around and don't see much of anything around the tower. It looks overgrown. There is a slight trail that looks like it used to be accessed by a four-wheeler. It seems this tower has been abandoned. You start wondering what to do. You've made it all this way. You start to wonder if climbing the tower would help you survey the area. But it looks old and it's really tall. There's no telling how sturdy it is - it also doesn't help that you're scared of heights. The other options is just setting up camp and hoping someone comes and checks the tower soon. [[Climb the tower->climb]] [[Wait for rescue->wait]]

You step on a branch. Your heart sinks as the bear stares you down. You realize you're not making it out of this one. The bear pounces.

You successfully leave the vacinity of the bear and continue on your journey to the tower. [[Continue->tower]]

You begin to climb. The tower seems to move in the wind. You start to wonder if this was a good idea. You continue climbing. ''Roll a 6-sided die.'' [[Roll a 1->die 4]] [[Roll a 2-6->climb more]]

You set up camp by laying sticks and leaves up against the tower. You lay down and wait - praying for rescue. Then you hear it. A loud horn. Over your left shoulder was the definite sound of a trucker horn - a highway! There is a highway! Within earshot. You jump to your feet and start running toward the sound you heard. [[Continue->salvation]]

The tower shakes. You lose your grip. You plummet. Your journey ends here. So close to the end.

The tower shakes some more. You feel like you're too far up to stop now. You continue to climb. ''Roll a 6-sided die.'' [[Roll a 1->die 4]] [[Roll a 2-6->climb more2]]

The tower shakes but you hold on. You look around your surroundings from your new vantage point and see it - a road! There is a highway several miles away! You're going to live! You start to climb down. [[Roll a 1->die 4]] [[Roll a 2-6->down climb]]

You make it to the bottom of the tower and start running in the direction of the highway you saw. [[Continue->salvation]]

You reach the highway and start walking down the side of it. Cars were few and far between but you eventually get a car to stop when you hold your thumb up. He offers you a ride back to town. You're saved. After your long journey, you have finally made it back to civilization.
