Georgeybo
"Good thinking, Carlos."
I punch out 5 blocks of wood from a nearby tree. I then convert that wood into 2 wood blocks. I say to Mickey and Gabriel:
"Do you have any architectural preferences?"

Nnamdi
The TNT has exploded on the meadows, leaving a huge sinkhole.
"Damn, Marcus!"
After the explosion, I hear footsteps, could that be the others?

Mickey
Whilst riding on Pauk along with the others, I look off into the far distance. I gasp when I realise there is movement, and a lot of it. Was there an army of mobs zeroing in on us? I feel wary, but decide not to cause any alarm with the group until I was certain there was a danger to our lives. 

The group decides to make huts for the night as Quhark suggested. They started by getting wood from the forest, crafting it into planks, and building up small houses. By the time evening had been reached, the group was exhausted. They had also made a decision. They would not go back for Marcus or Nnamdi. They would abandon them and press on with their journey. Most of the group slept surprisingly well that night, not worried that they had sentenced their ‘friends’ to death in the wilderness.

Georgeybo woke up with a start. He remembered the chest outside. He went to check it. Inside was two journals, a dozen mushroom stew, one stack of apples, and an empty journal. He knew that he shouldn’t read it alone. He woke up Mickey and the two went outside near their dead furnace to read. Mickey took some of the extra wood and threw it into the furnace to serve as a campfire. After calling out for anyone who wanted to read along, they began:

Journal 1
There it is. The obsidian road. I’ve decided to spend the night here. I’m exhausted after all this traveling through the wilderness. There was only one mob and it looked like a person with a mob head. Strange, isn’t it? Well, I just decapitated him or it, as it rushed toward me. Not much else to do. There are two ways to go, left or right. Based on the maps I’ve drawn, I’m picking right. I hope that’s the way to go.

About the road itself, it definitely looks man-made. Those with technology advanced enough to create glass and move large quantities of obsidian. Still, it looks really old. Could there still be living people here? Will I get to meet them? I can only imagine.

Anyway, it’s night and I need some rest for tomorrow, so I’m heading to bed.

- Igor

Journal 2
Earlier, I had been cut by a mob and I hadn’t paid attention to it. Now the area is infected and overnight it has begun to swell. What’s going on?

I’m about to head out at full speed. If there’s real people, perhaps they have medicine.

- Igor
-------------------------

Just as they finish the final entry, the group hears a faint explosion in the distance.

Tatsuo- “Could it be a creeper? Or… our lost friends?”
Carlos- “Well, we can’t be sure. Plus, we already have a limited number of people as it is, we don’t want to lose any”
Georgeybo- “yeah, I don’t want to die for a chance of saving them, especially since we’ll be facing both the forest and whoever has been killing us”
Mickey- “That settles it, we’re leaving at first daylight”
Quhark- “Back to the buddy system for tents. It seems to be working well, we haven’t had a death since it started”
Carlos- “Well, it’s not perfect. We thought it might bring out the killer, it hasn’t.”
Mickey- “We can discuss things tomorrow. We’ve barely slept these past few days. Here’s our chance. I’ll go ahead and keep first watch”

The group pairs up and goes to their huts.

------------------------------------------

Marcus and Nnamdi think they hear the steps of their fellow friends. A head peeks around a tree.

It’s not them.

The creeper starts gliding toward them. Nnamdi turns to find an escape. More come in all directions. They must run immediately.

Will they escape? And where were the others?

------------------------------------------
Mickey adjusts his posture slightly. He had dozed off for a few minutes on accident. Getting up, he looks down the obsidian road. He sees movement coming from the left.

A tornado? An earthquake?

He keeps watching.

It’s no natural disaster. It’s mobs and hundreds of them.

It’s time for the group to go. Others wake up from the noise.

They have no choice now. They must go down the right side of the road.

They run.

Nnamdi
I grip Marcus's hands as hard as I can and run like living hell.
"Marcus! We need to think fast! Practically all the creepers in the world want our heads!" Nnamdi cried.
We climb up the trees and look down, the creepers seem clueless. They look around searching for us.

Journal Entry #2

Marcus and I are on a onslaught of Creepers. I don't know if I'll survive, but I hope for the best and I'm expecting the worse

--End of Entry--

Tatsuo Kaori

"What the ****! Run everybody or we gonna get killed!"

Mickey
We begin to run, as I curse myself for not warning the others sooner. I feel a sudden rush of panic, was I leading the group to our final place of rest?

SuperMariofan908 :

Marcus
"Oh well, there's that", said Marcus, from atop the tree. As more and more creepers appear, he realised that the tree wasn't their brightest idea. "Without a plan, we'll die, so I have an idea, one that's desperate, and maybe my last, but it's a risky idea nonetheless...". Marcus, with some difficulty, crafted another TNT. "I hope this works, or else we die". More creepers come. "Okay, I'm gonna throw this TNT over there...". Marcus paused as he pointed to a distance with less creepers. "...and, by theory, it should clear out the area for a while for us to make a run for it...". He knew it was a big risk. What if the TNT caused a chain explosion? What if it isn't thrown far enough? But it's the only chance they had. Then he looked at Nnamdi. Was he ready to sacrifice his friend's life for a chance at survival? Maybe he was ready, maybe he wasn't. "Okay, change of plans, when you're ready, throw this TNT at the place I pointed to. We only have one left, a few arrows, our swords and our bows. Don't hesitate to shoot. Don't touch those creepers, too, or else they explode. I'm ready when you are...". Marcus hands over the TNT to Nnamdi, wondering if he'll throw it and take the risk...

Nnamdi
As Marcus hands me the TNT, he gives me a choice whether to throw it or not.
"Now or never!!"
I throw the TNT and ignite it with the bow and arrow

BOOM

The creepers look where the TNT exploded, and run to there.
"Now's our chance"
Marcus and I run to a place where there is less Creepers. Hopefully we'll survive.

Carlos

After hearing everyone shouting outside, I wake up and go out to see. Seeing the danger coming out way, I wake up Quhark and say:
"Quhark wake up! We need to get going now or else we will get killed!"
Waiting for him to wake up, we finally leave and start running towards the road with everyone else.

Georgeybo
"Quick, get out of here!"
I dash away from the hoarde with the others. I yell:
"Go left! Death awaits us on the right!"

Quhark ejects from his place and starts running to right way of the road. " What are you waiting for? "

SuperMariofan908 :

Marcus
"Another Creeper, 7 'o' clock!", said Marcus as more and more creepers come pouring in into their imaginative bowl of everlasting problems. "Don't hesitate, show no mercy, just hack and shoot!", was Marcus' battle cry. For each 1 Creeper they kill, 2 more appeared. They're arrow supply was running out, fast. Together they made their way through the forest, hoping what lied at the end was better...

Nnamdi
"Marcus, I'm scared! I never thought it would end like this!"
Running like hell, I see a group of mobs.

Nnamdi
"Marcus?"
There was a short pause, Marcus turned around
He was smiling, and it wasn't even a smile of joy.
"Marcus, are you okay?" I asked
"I couldn't be better! AAH, ha ha!" he replied
As the creepers approached us, he drew out his Stone Sword and slashed the creepers like no tomorrow.
They were all gone.
"Way to go, Marcus!"
He turned around, and collapsed.
I carried him, and climbed to the biggest tree.
Little did I know, that wasn't Marcus at ALL, it was his alter-ego.
And he was still awake.

Mickey
I hear a sound in the distance, followed by a boom, and much yelling. I look in the distance and see..... could that be the others, risking their lives with no idea what goal they were headed?
"Everyone, I think I've found them, both of them!"

I'm finishing off perhaps the most important update to this game up to this point. By the end of it two of you will be dead.

Do not post here until I finish.

Part 1 - The Group

The group makes a dash for it. Mickey leads and sprints onto the road. Tatsuo turns toward the right side and begin to sprint. Carlos and Quhark follow close behind. Georgeybo, on the other hand, starts running to the left.

Mickey looks behind and stops.

Mickey-”WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” he yells.

Georgeybo doesn’t stop. Whether he’s sleepy or just doesn’t notice, he runs straight into the group of mobs. There’s nothing to be done.

The four runs farther off just in time to see the horde of mobs storm their campsite.

Quhark- “Did someone wake Gabriel?”
Tatsuo- “No”
Mickey- “I trusted that the sound would have done it”
Carlos- “Uh oh”

The lone four looked around and realized that at this point, they might be the only survivors. Could Marcus and Nnamdi have survived? They had no clue.

Thoroughly shaken by the recent losses, Mickey started the four off at a light jog down the road.

--------------------------------------------

Part 2 - Georgeybo

Georgeybo found himself in the middle of a pack of zombie mobs. At first, they didn’t notice him. All at once he felt bites, gnawing, and cracks of his arm bones. He screamed. He ran for it.

He kept running and running through the hordes. He didn’t know if he got out. He didn’t know if he survived, but everything went black.

He woke up after who knows how long. Everything felt fine. Except he had this hunger. This insatiable hunger. Nothing could quench it.

He started walking. He was in some sort of forest. Wait, what was a forest? He didn’t know. Oh, who was that? Marcus and Nnamdi! They were battling zombies like anything. Maybe they had food. Maybe they could help him.

He walked toward them. He went in from behind hoping to surprise them. He grabbed Marcus’s hand. Suddenly red went everywhere, he felt even more hungry. Marcus turned around and screamed. Nnamdi took aim and placed an arrow through Georgeybo’s head. Just like that.

Georgeybo felt his body fail him. What had happened? He stumbled and fell down a hill. He looked into the water. Oh, he thought. Oh.

Then everything went black.

-----------------------------------------------------

Part 3 - Marcus and Nnamdi

Marcus and Nnamdi had successfully fought off most of the mobs that had persisted in chasing them. They were safe.

Until Marcus felt a blinding pain soar up his arm. A zombie had grabbed on his arm and bit into it. And it looks like… No, it couldn’t be. Georgeybo? No. it’s just a zombie. By the time he yelled his scream, Nnamdi had shot an arrow straight through its head.

Marcus, shaken, walked to a nearby stream to wash off the wound. Nnamdi remained watchful, looking for any more. They made a silent agreement not to speak of it. They were both shaken by the striking resemblance to their friend. They continued to walk. They walked and walked.

Then they hit it. What appeared to be a giant monument. They circled it, not knowing what to expect. On the other side, they saw the obsidian road end into it. This is what the group had been searching for. Had they already been here? They could only guess.

On the surface lay some inscriptions. They looked very similar to common language, so Marcus looked around.

Marcus- quick! Where’s the journal?
Nnamdi- right here! Take it.

Marcus begins to write down all the markings. They must know what they’re headed toward. Plus, these might turn out to be useful.

The two could only wonder. Were they too far behind?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 4 - The Group

Mickey, Quhark, Carlos, and Tatsuo kept jogging for the next few hours. They had only been jogging for a few hours in when they noticed the obsidian road get thinner.

It kept thinning as they went on.

Then they saw it over the tree-tops. An obelisk-like structure.

They worked up to their full speed as they kept dodging trees and getting closer and closer.

Then they hit it.

It took them a moment to realize who they saw underneath it.

Mickey and Nnamdi

Official Actions
- Meet up with them
- Help set up camp for the night

Then the clock struck midnight. Had everything really gone by within such a short time span? Did time work differently in this place or was it just the adrenaline? They had no clue.

Now as Day 6 started, only six remained.
