Another day, another challenge, another virus.

Another virus? What the shit?

It seems that the rice wasn't fully cooked or something, because some, if not most of the tribe was reeling from a bad case of food poisoning. What horrid luck!

First of all, what rice? Did I miss when we got rice? And food poisoning isn't contagious, so that's a relief. Did you guys know about eating rice?

Around camp, the tribe still persevered.
DF poked the fire that was started last night, thanks to their flint.

Totally missed us getting the flint. I forgot to read the Day 2 post.

Quin retrieved more water for the tribe, fulfilling another day of quenched thirst.

Thank you Quin.

SVS, Sorsha and Long Con went out on a fishing expedition, bringing back 2, 3, and 3 fish, respectively. Thank goodness that fire was lit today!

Ooh la la, Sorsha. I guess I'm a fast learner! This is a nice fish boon, and now we have fishing gear as well! I imagine the ideal scenario tomorrow would be for Sorsha alone to use the fishing gear while someone stokes the fire. MAXIMUM FISH!!

While camp went about their chores, Epi and notsawyer went exploring around the island.

I suppose if you guys just take note of your stats and what they look like tomorrow morning, then we'll at least have a better idea of what those options do.

At the challenge, the players were designated to set up in bouts of mud wrestling with pads. Players strategized the best way to go about it, and decided to send their strongest first.

OptOut is their Strength person, let's take note. Maybe others. Am I our only Strength person?

OptOut for Mamana and LC for Atamai. An imposing matchup. Both went at it fast and loose early, and seemed pretty evenly matched. LC never slowed down, however, and kept pummeling OptOut until she was inches from the edge. OptOut pushed right back with a low jab to trip up Long Con. As Long Con fell, he whipped one last high attack and barely knicked OptOut, making her lose her balance. Both combatants fell into the mud, but OptOut fell first. That was a close match. Atamai was up 1.

Sounds like OptOut might have used a similar strategy, hits early. Also sounds like we both hit 20 in the same round, and I narrowly edged her out: ("If both players reach/exceed 20 in the same round, win goes to higher number") I would like to know the numerical dice roll results of this one after the game Scotty! Save it please!

Next came SVS and INH. INH immediately swung high and caught SVS in the upper lip. It was all downhill for her, as she was pushed out rather suddenly. Score for Mamana! It was tied 1-1

Ouch. Maybe they have two Strength folks.

speedchuck and Sorsha was a more measured fight. No one seemed to really have the edge, and no one was really landing any hits. After an exhausting bout, speedchuck swung low for a last attack, and Sorsha deftly stepped out of the way for speedchuck to fall into the mud.Atamai was up 2-1.

Sweet match, sounds close. Love it!

But that didn't stop LoRab from unleashing her fury on a stupefied DF. DF fell into the mud in dirty defeat. Tied again, 2-2./quote]
Sounds brutal. I wanna see ALL these dice rolls after the game, please. Scotty, this was cool.

DH put on his crown...

Excuse me?

...and stepped up to Quin. The arena was quite covered in mud at this point. DH covered himself in excess mud to appear more imposing. He was not more imposing. Without warning, Quin lunged at DH and pushed him back-first into the mud. Atamai is up 3-2! One more would win it!

Crown goes to Quin...?

Wilgy knew it was up to him to salvage the fight, up against notsawyer. But notsawyer had other plans. He took a few hits from wilgy right off, but Wilgy became worn down and while he gave it his all, it wasn't enough. He slipped and fell face first in the mud.
Atamai scores their 4th point and WINS THE CHALLENGE!

Atamai wins immunity, and will be safe from the vote tonight. They also won the reward offered yesterday in the form of fishing gear. Use it well, fellas!

It is now Night 3. Night will end at Midnight, EST.

Again, great job team, so happy for us!!

Messed up the quotes in those later comments, sorry.

Glad we won guys. Let's keep that shit up!

Great job, team (besides me)!

Yay!!

And I think Sawyer also had a strength bonus.

I am so pleased

Also yay re fish and fishing equipment.

The felled pine tree has a divot at the base that has been scratched up. I don't know if that is significant.

Someone buried something and retrieved it? Palm tree, right?

Do we have to divide up all the fish manually?

Well, we have 7 fish, enough for all.

I will keep one and send one to Epignosis, just to be safe.

In addition to the three fish I caught I have +3 fish. Who's hungry?

I could take one.

Sorsha wrote:In addition to the three fish I caught I have +3 fish. Who's hungry?

I kept one and gave one to poor Epi who seems to be falling apart

So it looks like food needs are met. Maybe the low energy people can start taking naps, to build energy back?

Also I forgot to send in names for BTS this time, I am losing track of the difference between night/day ha ha

I wonder who is getting the boot in the other tribe.

Prediction: NOT DH, INH or Golden

I think it would be very interesting to see DH go. I wonder how his "King of the Island" schtick is going.

I could find out.

Maybe they'll all be crushed by a piano at their tribal council.

Slightly exhausted, the tribe sauntered back to camp, ready to enjoy their first real night away from tribal.

"I kinda miss Scotty Probst," Sorsha said longingly.

"What? I don't miss Mr. Hostman," belittled Epi, "or his stinky groundhog."

"I wonder who they're voting off over there?" LC asked.

Just then, notsawyer ran back into camp with Treemail. "I know who got voted out, guys!"
************************************************************************************************************************
But the tribe didn't get too comfy, because Scotty Probst was seen jetskiing around the inlet.

"What is he doing here?" eyed SVS.

"I heard y'all missed me! So here I am!



And drop your buffs."
