Firstly, you try to tie a rock to a stick using some of the long grass. It takes a short while, and doing the job is pretty fiddly, but you manage to tie one of the rocks onto your stick. What you've made is... uh... well, it certainly doesn't seem very sturdily tied. If you had some better cordage it might look more reliable. You've created some sort of club nonetheless.

You next look for some sort of hidden door on the tree, feeling around it. Nothing. You're about to climb the tree for some kind of opening until you hear a very high-pitched voice come from the window.
"Oi! D'you mind, matey? Some people get a bit ticked off when people climb their property!"
You look down, and looking back at you is some sort of tiny human figure, about the size of your hand, dressed up in a tiny leather duster. Looking closer shows that it seems to be a female with a messy black ponytail and an eyepatch tightened around her right eye, looking at you somewhat impatiently; fluttering transparent wings behind her.
"Well? You gonna buy somethin' or not, chump? I ain't got all spring." She says in somewhat of a bored and agitated voice, standing in the small window of the large tree. You noticed she had somewhat of a cockney accent, and the... whatever it was, seemed to be sizing you up just in case.

Stopsignal 9/10 9/10 10/10
You approach the man who's fishing. On closer inspection, you can see an old man, hunched over next to the lake with a peaceful expression in his faded blue eyes. He has a short, grey-ish beard accompanied by a few twirls of grey hair coming from under his olive boonie hat. His build is a little chubby, and as you speak, he jumps a little in place, whirling his head around to look at you. You notice he's wearing the same white cotton shirt + trousers you are.
Upon recognizing that you were a human, his expression goes from concern to a casual smile, and the old man re-casts his line.
"Well hey there. Didn't know there was more of us out here." He begins, watching his line carefully. "The fishin'? Haven't caught anything yet... but I've been gettin' some bites!" He continues enthusiastically.
"Look at me bein' so rude. Haven't even introduced myself. I couldn't really remember who I am... but a few people I stay with call me 'Hook'. At least I know I sure loved fishin'. Couldn't stop thinkin' about makin' a rod since I woke up." Hook chuckles. He seemed to be a kind old man; his voice slow and wise.

Smiling at the butterflies, you head back the way you came. You follow your trail of sticks, picking the longer ones up along the way. Getting back to the dry grass patch couldn't have been easier!
+15 Sticks Added to The Stockpile!
You look at the piles of rocks, cordage and sticks around the dry grass patch. Everyone was starting to get some things together, even if communication between everyone was pretty much zero.

He Who Hit A Squirrel With A Rock One Time 9/10 9/10 10/10
You take a squirrel each, knowing the hide, meat and bone would come in handy. The squirrels were a bit bloody, but still in pretty good condition considering the circumstances.
The dark-skinned woman leading, you decide to march a little further into the woods. You're both pretty sure you know the way back.
You keep walking, until you notice that in this area, the trees around the forest seem to slowly come to an end. A large clearing of very flat, bluish grass is gathered up around a single grave, made crudely from two tied sticks. A single blue flower, with white butterflies floating around it, is planted by the grave.
Past this clearing leads into the forest again.

Lorknis 9/10 9/10 10/10
You leave the very short girl behind, dragging your stick behind you to leave a trail. The forest continues on, and you soon come across a huge tree with golden-brown bark, which towers over all the other trees around you in the forest. Surprised at your discovery, you then notice one of the men from the dry grass patch seems to be here, looking at... eh?
Squinting, you notice that a small, pixie like creature (see Rhodri's update) is talking to the man with an agitated expression on her face. The two haven't noticed you yet.
"Well? You gonna buy somethin' or not, chump? I ain't got all spring." The pixie squeaks at the man by the tree angrily.

Curious to see what the boars could be running away from, you head the opposite direction to where the boars were going.
Sure to be careful, it doesn't take long for you to see in the distance what the boars were running away from.
Some sort of hound with blood-red fur, gaping maroon eyes and sharp teeth growls as it stalks the tracks of the boar, snuffling the air around it with malicious intent. You thought it didn't notice you, but it stops in its tracks, sniffing around suspiciously. Although you're a while away from it, it seems to have caught your scent...

Caconym 9/10 9/10 10/10
You get straight to working on your trap with the cordage; it takes a little while to find a large, flat rock - and your very short frame and low strength makes it quite hard to carry, but after some effort, you've managed to create a working trap! Good work.
Waiting for a rabbit ro pass by, you pull the necklace from your pocket, inspecting it more closely. It's the figure of a tall woman wearing casual clothing, long hair, and a gracious look about her. There's a large pair of wings folded behind the woman, and a casual smile is placed on her pretty face. The whole thing is carved from a piece of shining, goldish metal, tied onto a delicate chain.
You then put on the necklace. As you do this, you can feel some sort of... presence... and then, the sound of some sort of graceful voice is audible for a short while in your head.
"Rub my wings, and I will lend you them for a short while... once..."
The voice and the feeling of a presence soon fades, and a tan-coloured feather gently floats from above, landing on the top of your head. What was...

You look around for a particularly sharp rock, and you think you're in luck when you find a thin and sharp piece of... uh... you weren't great at geology, but who cares, it still seemed suitable to sharpen a stick with.
Getting to work, you begin creating some extremely advanced technology, chips of wood flying past you in the process.
And it is done! You create the sharpened stick, and place copyright claims on it.

Nickboom 9/10 9/10 10/10
You listen carefully around you for the sound of rushing water, or any water in general as you look around the area carefully; long grass brushing against your bare feet. Water would be vital for creating a camp.
Unfortunately, you aren't able to hear or see any water - all that your ears manage to pick up is the various tweets of the birds. However, you do come across a clearing with a large boulder in the center of it. There's an arrow carved on it pointing to the dry grass patch for some reason.
CAMP STATUS(ES)
Nobody has set up a camp yet!
SURROUNDING AREA
>Rhodri - Behind you leads to the beehive. You're starting to lose your bearings of the dry grass patch a little bit. You're around some sort of huge tree with a windowish carving inside it. A strange pixie-person is here.
>Lorknis - Behind you leads to the rabbit hole and daffodil patch. You're around some sort of huge tree with a windowish carving inside it. A strange pixie-person and Rhodri is here.
>Caconym - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're in an area of the forest, by a patch of daffodils and a rabbit hole.
>He Who Hit A Squirrel With A Rock One Time/Dusty Trails - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're starting to lose your bearings of the grass patch a little bit. You're in a clearing of the forest, with a simple grave and bluish grass around the clearing.
>Stopsignal - Behind you leads to the clearing with a large boulder. You've marked the boulder, so you know how to get back to the dry grass patch. You're by a vast lake, with a grassland surrounding it. Hook is here.
>yonsisac - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're in an area of the forest, with an angry looking red dog sniffing around for you.
>Nickboom - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're in an area of the forest, by a clearing with a large boulder in the middle of it.
>The rest are all standing in a large, circular patch of dry grass that is the center of the world. Thick forests surround you, but nobody has explored them yet. 3 medium sized rocks, and a small pile of plant fibres + flexible sticks are scattered on the ground; two of the men collected them. The pink suited man's empty pink teacup and saucer is here.
>ajwilli1 - Behind you leads to the dry grass patch, but you feel like you won't need to go back there unless you want to regroup. There is a bush of yellow, most likely edible berries here. The bush probably has about 18 berries.
