Magma pools are always in caverns. Send cavern exploration squads, or CESs.

I think a lack of lungs would be a bigger issue...

That's actually not a question of "why". Being able to support life is implied by our universe being ours.

A teacher walks in on four kids making a huge mess of her classroom. She asks the kids to explain themselves. The first kid begins rambling incoherently. He seems to be saying the mess is real but he isn't, although it's hard to be sure. The second kid starts a monologue about the role of consciousness in observation, but the teacher cuts him off mid-sentence. Meanwhile, the third kid has closed its eyes, cupped its ears, and starting chanting "I can't hear you." Desperate, the teacher turns to the last kid. "I can't explain anything," he admits, "but I did come up with a mathematical model to describe it all".

This is paraphrased from a story told to me by a physics professor espousing the virtues of the "shut up and calculate!" approach. My own takeaway was that there's no interpretation of quantum mechanics that explains the relationship with classical mechanics. The only real difference is how they avoid actually explaining it.
With a sufficient number of universes, the anthropic principal makes sense. With one universe with unvarying laws? Nope.

And Mr. Frog, I thought the question was answered before we started discussing our favorite quantum mechanical theories.

Use power of Fuzz-So-Dah, and if needed claws, to kill bull squid!

Awesomeness tends to be exponentially related to size. Rocs are awesomest, giant sparrows are probably meh.

>Go To Hospital
[6] Jess makes it to a fairly uncrowded hospital.

Fun fact: I left out an 's', and Autocorrect said that Jesus made it to the hospital. Ah, modern technology...

Adrian Haw
Waking up, hung over, Adrian notes that it's noon ((It's noon at this point right?)) Adrian thinks to himself Ugh, note to self: throwing up is your body telling you it is time to stop drinking Adrian then walks over to the TV and turns it on, the last channel the tv was on before being turned off previous was the news channel.
[3] Adrian stumbles to the television, turns it on, and hears a car commercial. Still half-asleep and hung-over, he slumps onto the couch, considering the merits of getting dressed now or later. He decides on now, and so just hears a news story. Something about a disease being studied at the University. Nothing major.
[4] Halfway through getting his pants on, Adrian freezes. No traffic noises. What the hell?

"Victor"
Pull Gretchen away from Darren take her and Jamie outside the room and hug Gretchen

"Im sorry but if you stay in there you'll get sick too. I cant let you back in that room"
[3] While Victor's logic doesn't seem to work on Gretchen, it works on Jaime, who helps Victor grab her. He then [2] tries to pick her up and carry her off but just ends up dragging her, kicking and screaming and followed by a vomiting Daren, through campus. Awkward much?

Great, crowded hospital. Don't care how many sods I have to beat through to get out of here. I'm not sick and I am not going to be stuck here for the rest of my life.

Eric Romani: Make way to the nearest Receptionist/Nurse/Doctor and ask to be tested.
[1] Eric accidentally inhales some dust, sneezes, and gets dragged to a room and locked in. It's dark, and seems like some sort of neglected quarantine place. Someone else sneezes--sounds like there's at least half a dozen other people in here!

Robert is still sick, but the doctors say that he and the injured girls should be able to walk if they stick to crutches and don't move fast. To prove it, he gets so e crutches and hands them out before kicking you and the girls out to make room for other patients.

Turn Two will end in 2 hours, 45 minutes. What will these five luckless souls do?

Good news, I learned how to turn off my tablet's flash!

Spoiler: Map One (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Map Two (click to show/hide)

The lighting and orientation are good, although I added an NPC fief to each and USEC_OFFICER's fief (note to self: Add players to OP) will become one if we use these maps.

I think we're all in agreement here...
