(I know this has been made before but never too successfully.) You are an early humanoid and must survive dinosaurs, tar pits and many other prehistoric dangers. Nothin much else to say.

You're people are happy and content. You have enough food for three days and have a source of water year round which is a hot spring 400 yards away. A sabertooth tiger is wandering dangerously close to your tribe. You only have fifteen men armed with flint tipped spears. What will you do?

Sadly your men don't have the neccessary tools (atlatls, a primitive tool used to throw spears with much greater force) to really harm the tiger with the thrown spears but one does catch him in the leg. Your men charge it and have it surrounded but it is lashing out when they get close. What do you do?

(Please post character sheet with each repsonse). This would probably be a suicide mission if I wasn't nice. You distract the tiger and it lunges at you. You pull out your knife and jam it in it's mouth but it crushes your hand. It is gagging and bleeding from a large puncture in it's throat. It slumps over and one of your hunters slices it's head off to make sure it dies. He retrieves your knife and carries the head back as your hunters carry the tiger carcass back to the tribe camp. You walk back to camp. What will you do?

Your tribe has food for three days but the well your people dug has run dry what do you do?

Seriously copy the thing above this man. You try to heal your hand but you need to go see the medicine man. Your people have the large cat ready to be skinned. What will you do?

I ask for an explorer to go with me in the search of a water source.

You get the most adventurous and strong man from your tribe to explore with you for a water source. You set out for a search and are face with a choice. Do you follow a cliff face into a deep valley or go into the forest?

You receive a peice of the pelt and go see the medicine man. He takes a mixture of many herds and rubs it on your bitten and crushed hand while you whince with each touch. He requires your pelt to fix your hand. Do you accept?

You watch as he wraps the hid around your hand and uses a mixture of stone powder and clay to form a makeshift cast. Just don't get it wet. Your men advise you not to go on the hunt. Do you go?

Do you go with the resource scouts? Im a little confused.

You travel down along the cliff face and your luck seems to start picking up. You come to a place in the valley with many trees and plants; signs of water. You continue down and come to a large lake. You and the man spot a large group of small, large nosed dogs. The man says that your ancestors domesticated them and used them to hunt very successfully. What to you do?

You dont't have wood or the tools to cut wood but you have a flint knife which might be able to be adapted to serve the purpose.

You cut a few handles but are a bit misshapen and weak due to you cutting them with your left hand. You kind some strong vines and attach a large rock to a handle. Some people start following your example and you have a few others helping you chop down some small trees. In a few hours you have enough wood for a hut and a fire. You walk back to camp to see the raw tiger carcass sitting on the ground. What do you do?

You give them the orders and decide to go to bed for the night. You wake up and one of your tribesman tells you that two huts, including yours, are complete and the men you sent hunting and resource scouting brought back enough food for two more days and locations for fish and a tar pit. What are your actions now?

He agrees and says "One of us should go back and tell our people to get their belongings and lead them here." What do you do?

Your people are happy and you have food for three days and a nearby lake you could fish in (with the right tools). You awake in the morning to the sound of shrieks of terror. You look towards the source and see a velociraptor running towards your tribe. What do you do?
