Editing Islander:Initiation

One player must take the NPC Tribal Elder. One must take the NPC Avatar. Italicized sections show where these parts must be played.

Before starting, the players must choose the name of their tribe and who their [[Islander:Gods|God]] is.

The scene begins at dawn, with the PCs kneeling together and their tribe in a circle around them. ''The Elder makes a short speech about their becoming adults and getting their names'', then there is silence for a minute. They hear a howl from deep within the forest, jump up and run off in its direction.

The Reward for reaching the Cave first is 4 Fame.

They must each track and slay a [[IslanderNPC:Kin-tuk|Kin-tuk Lizard]], and take it as an offering to their God.

Each player has 1 turn per Phase. They must complete each step before heading onto the next one and may only attempt one step each phase ('steps' are in bold). Once a player has reached the Cave, it is the final Phase; if any other players also manage to complete it, they split the Reward (round fractions up).

The last of the characters enters the Cave and places their offering on the rough stone alter, then joins the others as they kneel in prayer in front of it.

They hear an unnatural [b]snap![/b] from behind them and the dark Cave is lit with a soft azure glow. They know not to turn and look.

The Avatar of their God speaks to them, but does not say what they have been expecting to hear for most of their lives. ''It apologises for failing their tribe, but promises that it will help them gain vengance and that if they show courage it will make them the greatest on all the Islands. It does not explain how it has failed or what they would seek vengance for.'' Then they hear a gust and the glow disappears.

They soon realise that it never gave them their names.
