((what's the plan for introducing those next players? do they need to post that they are aware their turn is up, or will an announcement be made, or what?))

Next new area we enter will have them. Though having the players post that they are alive would be good too

I'm a bit far down the waitlist yet.

Plus, like most, I have no opposable thumbs - but then, most who start with them seem to lose them anyway.

Mysterious!

Well, does the jeep have a radio? Can we hook John's voice-thing up to that? wait shit I can't read, just turn on the radio in that case!

EDIT: Also, take a look around where we are now. Any sign of those animal dudes following us?

You turn on the radio. John can now speak through it.

Downside to this is that if you put on some music it's gonna be john singing.

You're back in the place were you guys spent like three weeks talking to a Giant that wanted nothing to do with you. No sign of pursuers.

"Alright, so if we're here and they're south of us, then ... hmm. One wonders why the god eaters aren't coming into here to eat all these crippled gods. Anyhow, my intuition's never wrong, and I know where to go. But scarred tribes sounds a bit aggressive, and coming in wounded like this wouldn't do well for first impressions. So! How're we going to get you back on your feet."

Assess overall condition of teammates. Probably the most immediately helpful ones are Bird and Antisocial Glass Ball. Are there any corpse parts around I could fuse to Hyenakles to speed up his recovery?
The deer man is whole, save for the head.  Though fusing flesh to speed healing on this level...oh dear thats gonna have a heck of a cost. And thats if it works. You can feel it down in your wizard guts, such things are dangerous. Perhaps there might be some method of stacking the deck...

As per your teammates, The bird and the dinosaur are fine, the glass ball is part smashed, with an exposed brain. Should cover that up before someone hits the weak point for massive damage. You tap your foot in thought. John is an odd one. He's got a fully functional body, but it's useless to you for the moment.

"Most of the places on the map sound like places we don't want to go. Which raises the question of why we went to a place called Superhell.
But west seems as good a direction as any. Maybe we can be friendly with the tribes. In fact, I wonder if we could have been friendly with the godeaters, if we hadn't ridden in on a god.


Look for some glass somewhere on the warbeast that I can use to repair my damage. Failing that, ask someone to look out for mountains of broken glass or something.
There's no glass around here, except for bottles and those are almost all full. Not exactly sure how you'd use them even if they weren't. Melting glass onto an exposed brain is certainly a unique strategy, healing wise, but it's probably a technique not bound for future glories. Vaccination or penicillin it ain't

- I'll be damned if I know how I'm still alive. I think I can grow into someone's body if you clear out chest and abdomen. Don't know about the car...

Try to grow into the jeep.
[3] No luck boy-o, least not anymore than you would have if they hadn't already hooked up all your pipes. Seems you're made for that sweet flesh interfacing. GYO style.

Quick, find a shark.

GASHUNK.

"Well, not like we have much choice besides going past the tribes.  You never know with natives, though.  Hey, I can help you empty those booze bottles if you need!"

Helpfully offer to get drunk.
You offer your services as mobile alcohol repository.

No one says NOT to do it.
[6]

You down two bottles of very strong booze in under 5 minutes and pass out by Hyenankles.

Nah, my healing is pretty much magic. As it says on my character sheet, which you approved nearly a year ago!
*Thumbs up*

And I'm pretty sure there's at least some empty bottles around here, Xannie's been spewing a few flames around.

Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

- I could certainly try. Never done this before. Given your latest feats in magic, you could probably kill two birds with one stone by burning out his insides to make room for me AND to re-attach his head.

Ooh, go find a replacement head for the deer body! Scavenging skills go!

Maybe a really cool skull that Xankarvo can set on fire and animate with faith and shit. That's be, like, almost next-level shit, right?

Well, the deer Guy's dead so backlash wouldn't be too much of an issue, I think. Prepare myself in a wizardly way for doing this. Don't actually do it yet, there's no replacement head yet and someone needs to move John into the corpse at a specific time, but charge my fire healing powers.

You dream of a strange world of giant lizards, odd looking fronds and tropical trees, and the distant glow of a meteor in the sky.

"Excuse me, mr. hallucination. Meteors are moving at extremely high speeds. There's no way one would just be hanging out in the sky like that; at best it would be a streak of flame that appeared for a second or two and then made us all extinct.

Wait how do I know this?"

Apparently your healing ain't no magic at all.

Ooh, go find a replacement head for the deer body! Scavenging skills go!

Maybe a really cool skull that Xankarvo can set on fire and animate with faith and shit. That's be, like, almost next-level shit, right?

Hmm replacement head...Lets see...Well you have John's head...thats...mostly intact.  Technically the deer man's head would work fine too, it was nice and cleanly severed, so you could just put it back on. Metal man is gone, crab man had no head and also exploded...Maybe you could use his giant claw as a comedy joke head? Ha ha, april fools, your body isn't viable and now you're trapped in a senseless living hell!

Alternatively, you could steal the glass ball's skull. 

Alternatively alternatively, there are some rather neat but slightly oversized skulls around here. You grab a few with interesting features. As you fly them back, you begin to wonder if using a skull is a good idea. It doesn't have eyes, after all. Or lips.

Slightly comically oversized skull it is! I'm sure any practical concerns can be patched over with sufficient faith and ignorance.
