Being banished stoked his growing ire,
Chafed and bruised abruptly by this f***ery.
Rubbing sticks, he set the tree afire,
Do you hear me, bitch? My name is Jeffery!

+1

Also, Ask why she kicked us out.

[kero42]

Catch the bottle and the Satchel. Everything else should be able to survive a fall. The Satchel should be fine, but we don't know what is inside it.

+1

[Gervassen]

Wow. I never realized that ABAB alternating verse was so much more controversial than AABB couplets.

+1, fucking bitch that'll teach her.

-1 I don't think we have a means of starting a fire quicker than she can catch on and stop us... unless we find a flamethrower in that satchel.

[kero42]

I know it's a bit weird of me to post 3 times so quickly, but I decided to write a little something for my suggestion, as I had time to waste on it:

"My name returns, my head is clear
Through the window, I see my dear.
It would seem our time is past,
From her den, my possessions cast.
On her face, a look of woe,
I ask my dearest, why it's so."

Not the best, it's just a jest, a simple rhyme, to pass the time. 

[LeoLeonardoIII]

As the equipment falls she slams the "window" shut and the bark seals with a groan.

You successfully catch the bottle with one hand and the satchel with the other. There's liquid sloshing around in the bottle. The satchel is pretty heavy.

The belt with sheath and the floppy boot hit the ground without incident.

The dagger lands point-down in the frozen earth - catching that without getting sliced would have been tricky!

A gust of wind catches the fur cloak just before it hits the ground and it sails away, getting caught in some branches about 10' off the ground. You probably could have caught it before it got away, if you tried. Then again ... maybe you would have been distracted and dropped it all!

(Passing by a vote of +1) You gather a few sticks and rub them together. It's very cold out here, and your hands and feet are starting to get numb. The wind doesn't help. You can't get a fire started.

[Gervassen]

I bow to the superior poet.

Get the belt, and swing the belt at the branches until it snags the cloak.

[Cain12]

Well the fire vote actually failed I think:
Gervassen, Yourmaster, and LegendaryWoodBurner = +3
Cain12, Kero42, and Weirdsound = -3
Equals at 0, meh doesn't matter it failed anyway.

Examine satchel contents

Edit:

Get the belt, and swing the belt at the branches until it snags the cloak.

+1. Bit dubious about attacking a tree with a belt, but as kero said, we might freeze otherwise.

[kero42]

I bow to the superior poet.

Get the belt, and swing the belt at the branches until it snags the cloak.

+1, we could freeze without that cloak, no harm in trying.

Examine satchel contents

+1 to this as well, we need to do this eventually, may as well do it now

I'm not too picky about the order in which we do them, but I suppose it doesn't matter . (unless a raccoon steals the satchel while we're waving a belt at a tree, or the coat gets free while we root through the bag and blows even further away.)

[LegendaryWoodBurner]

Examine satchel contents

Get the belt, and swing the belt at the branches until it snags the cloak.

+1 to both

Also if we cant burn the tree we should at the very least Kick the tree in an enraged manner.

[kero42]

Also if we can't burn the tree we should at the very least Kick the tree in an enraged manner.

-1, we might hurt ourselves, or enrage the dryad, and we wouldn't accomplish much.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

You pick up the belt and hurry to the tree that caught the fur cloak. You manage to snag the branch and break it, bringing the cloak down without tearing.

The satchel looks like a messenger bag, of soft well-worn leather, with brassy buttons and buckles. Inside there's a big heavy book with a lock that keeps you from opening it.

Inventory: 4/20
Clothes: Fur Cloak
Armor: None
In Hand: Belt with Dagger Sheath
Satchel (10/10) Big Heavy Book [Locked]
Bottle

Spoiler: Inventory (click to show/hide)

You can carry 20 items. A container counts as an item but also can carry items. Most items count as 1, small ones count as 0, but big heavy books etc. count as multiple - in this case 10, so it fills up the satchel.

[LegendaryWoodBurner]

Well now that we've gotten clothed and taken inventory we should check the time of day.

If it's early morning we should set out looking for a trail, road, or sign of civilization

If it's noon or after-noon we should probably just hunker down and try to build some shelter and a fire

[Cain12]

Time to break down and cry?
We are 17, homeless, dumped by a hot(?) tree woman, haven't dealt with our feelings in satisfactory way (failed to burn her home down), I think we should wallow in self pity and stroke the tree, because it reminds us of her barky skin.

In all seriousness: get the dagger, put on belt then put dagger in sheath if we haven't already.
