Subject: Bloody quick write up
Here goes:
On the island everything was apparently mutated (two tailed
monkeys, split trees etc.) We found a water source and went for a stroll,
finding some traps that had been set - human activity.
After camping the night near the hills, we decided that they were
too steep to climb and retreated to the south-western shores. We spotted
some smoke coming from the SE side of the island and went to investigate
in the morning.
We arrived at a native village and got fed miss-shaped fish and
witnessed a strange ritual involving a large club and fish statue. We
noticed an airplane propeller on one of the huts and after making
suitable motions (leaving me with the name Biggles - I guess it's going
to stick) Got the chief to take us to the top of the hills, where lo and
behold, there was a plane.
In the back of the plane was a huge metal 'fish' with radiation
symbols painted on it, which the chief proceeded to pelt with his club. A
dark shadow was on the side of the plane, which turned out to be a sphere
of 'death.' After a few tentative feelings, Jeremiah, the Rev and the
good doctor were engulfed - followed by the PI. The Prof, completely
failing to take the hint, proceeded to try and stop the chief as the
casing buckled despite several rolls by Tim (some ending in the
exclamation FUCK - an 01 roll.) Eventually he set his stop watch while
the rest of us made ticking noises and Matt looked bewildered. The bomb
was to blow on 20 sec, just the time Matt decided to enter the sphere and
the Prof now has a couple new insanities and probably a bad case of
melanoma (being in the epicentre of a nuclear explosion does that to you,
or so I'm told.)
After wandering through a space similar to that we encountered on
the ship, we rematerialised inside a ring of probably cultists, who
apparently think they've summoned us.
