Sound effect: Waves crashing on a shore

Pan up the beach, revealing David the dwarf, lying on the ground, sopping wet and motionless

David stirs. Groaning, he weakly rolls over and begins to retch, spewing out an impressive amount of saltwater. Using the rock nearby he hoists himself up. He starts suddenly, reaching behind him. When his hand finds the copper pick-axe still wedged into his pants he relaxes, rebumured. Trudging down the beach, he scans the horizon but sees nothing.
David: HALLOOOO! *silence* David: HALLO? IS ANYONE HERE? Distant Voice: HOOOO! OVER HERE!
The voice is coming from the hills to the east, away from the shore. David hurries up the steep incline.
Absolom is sitting by a small pool, fishing when David enters the scene. The surroundings here are more green and tranquil than the harsh rocky beach.

Absolom: Hello there! I met you once on the ship, David, right? David: That’s right, and you’re, um- Absolom: Absolom Asmelzokun at your service! [Absolom steps forward and shakes David’s hand furiously, thrusting out his pelvis slightly.] David: Er, right! [David extricates his hand from Absolom’s.] So, what does the situation look like? Any other survivors? Absolom: I don’t believe so! As far as we’re concerned we’re the only 2 dwarves on the planet! David: Uh…huh. [David suddenly screws up his face, sniffing the air.] David: What on earth is that smell? It smells like… burning. Absolom: Look for yourself! [Absolom gestures towards the east, where the ground drops away entirely.]

David: HOLY ****! It’s a ****ing volcano! This whole island is a giant volcano! David spends a few moments visibly composing himself. David: Okay, we need to get our **** together! Absolom, stop fishing and look around for any other survivors, or supplies that may have washed up on shore. And when you’re done, set up a makeshift fishery so we can process those fish before they spoil. I’ll start carving out some living space. Our first priority is survival, after that we can worry about getting the hell out of here. Get moving!
Some time later, David is examining the pile of supplies Absolom managed to rescue, trying desperately to be optimistic: - 1 copper pick (david’s) – 10 plump helmet spawn (saved by Absolom before the ship was wrecked) – 6 barrels of rum that had washed up on shore (praise Armok) – About a dozen usable pieces of wood from the wreckage
Shrugging and choosing a place to start, David begins striking his way into the rock. Absolom, knuckle-deep in turtle entrails, keeps one eye on David’s rear end as he mines his way into the rock.

Rules: Feel free to make suggestions, though I have the right to ignore any and all of them. The better/more entertaining your suggestion is the better chance I have of taking it, though I must count out any actions that would end in death for either dwarf, at least for now. |

I don’t understand the graphics, can we have a key?
Move: Have David turn around and catch the other dwarf [not working on getting the fish prepped] and tell him to get to work or he won’t be able to share the shelter you’re making for them. |

Yeah sorry I forgot how hard it is to figure out what’s what for a non-player. The blue tildes are the ocean, triangles are ramps, (up or down depending on slope), grey commas and stuff are normal rocky ground, green commas are grbum and shrubbery, the green spade/club things are trees. Big solid black blocks (with borders) are solid rock/sand. The brown areas of the rock in the last picture are areas that I’ve designated to be mined out. The little bearded things are the dwarves. |

Maybe I’ll be able to see it better as it progresses or I look at it more but I’ll translate what I said:
“Have David turn around and catch the other dwarf checking him out, have him tell the other one that if he doesn’t get to work he won’t get to share body heat later.” |
