@Bacon, Afterwards, Skiller, Starbee, Cathy:
Bacon stops to ponder for a moment exactly what a J-Noir is, only recalling something about a knife.
Oh well, the important thing is, nobody got hurt.
Mr Happy begins to walk to the right, at your prompting.
It's a wonderful day in Happyland, the sun is high, and Mr Happy is on an adventure!
What will Mr Happy do today?
>Nothing! >Find the Star Shards to make a wish! >Make friends!
Purification in progress. Mr Happy states, as you scroll your arrow over the last option.
This seems slightly dejavuish, and slightly unnerving.
As this occurs, Afterwards sulks in the corner. How dare you be unable to play your game right now. Bacon's game has two player, but it seems undeniably crappy. What kind of idiot plays games when they're stranded on an island anyway? Wait a second, maybe we should cut that hypocritical train of thought and get back to sulking.
"Okay, that's over for now. Thanks for your help, Skiller." Cathy notes from nearby, her voice barely managing to pierce through the suffering that is being unable to play Afterwards's game.
"Now, where did she-" Cathy'd cut off with an exasperated sigh.
"She went up to the surface, didn't she? Ugh.....Skiller, can I see that map?" Cathy'd say, her tone changing to slight curiosity, as she peered down the tunnel, unable to see Starbee from her current position.
"Yeah, sure." Skiller stated, as he handed her the map. "I'll go check up on Starb." He'd note, as he began to jog down the tunnel.
A short time later, a scream would be heard from the tunnel.
"Well, he's dead." A familiar voice would say, entering into Cathy's mind, as Earl sat, reclining in the spare parts crate that Cathy had recently inspected.
"Dibs on whatever shinies he had." Earl'd state, as a second, more timid rat perked up from the bin.
Starbee glanced at the entrance, a slight tinge of dread intermingling with the adrenaline running through her system.
She could see a slight shape detach from the ladder, as it thudded to the ground.
It was big. It was muscular. It was very clearly not human. It looked like some sort of gigantic lizard.
Behind her, Skiller jogged up, slowing as he noted the shape.
"I'm here, but be quiet! I think I heard something else come from there." Starbee'd whisper, as Skiller took a step back.
The shape itself would look up at the open door, as it began more hissing and screeching with what sounded like another of their kind.

Then, the gigantic lizard tossed a small knife.
The knife hits Skiller's left shoulder! Skiller will be unable to use more than one weapon/item at a time!
Skiller is wounded! Better patch that up.
Skiller lets out a small scream! Some enemies may be alerted to his position!
The lizard-man would take a few steps away, their orange scales barely visible in the small amount of moonlight currently shining onto the beach, and by extension, the entrance.
That's when the second one began to clamber down the ladder, as the first one showed his sharp teeth, his mouth in a grin.

@Whizzerd: Excellent question. Theo, where are those kids, now that we need them? Even though the boy could have grabbed the gun instead of cheering on his sister. To be honest, you're not sure why he didn't do that.
More importantly, you take a look into the study.
A guide on the linguistics of the native Lizard Folk. The journal on the main desk says, as you hurriedly exit.
Hah, boring. Lizard folk? This is just like Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. Maybe you'll read that fictional work of art when you're done with the REAL THREATS, like Velociraptors. Plus, there was probably some other stuff in there.
You move towards the suits of armor, and grab the axe. But, as you're about to put the machete on the ground, you realize your inventory space is really big, as a way to balance out the fact that most of the beings on this island can totally kill you.
You pocket the machete, and grab the axe, which is too big to pocket. You could totally hook it to your back if you had the proper safety equipment. It'd totally slow you down, though.
You begin to shove the armor, and eventually, after some grunting and panting, you make it to the steps.
Five raptors stare up at you. But wait, didn't you hear only four calls? Guess they kept repeating the message.
The deafening noise of raptor chatter fills your ears, as all of them eye the armor.
Then, as you shove it, three of the five immediately bolt to the right, the fourth realizing the problem a few moments too late.
The fifth was just an idiot.
So, as you look at the presumably crushed raptor under the armor, the fourth, now with a distinctive limp, leaps.
You hack at the raptor with the axe!
You tear into the raptor's neck! Raptor 4 stops moving!
As the body falls down the steps, you grin. Today, you have conquered unstoppable odds. You have defeated-
The fifth raptor crawls out from under the armor, as the three from-
Sorry, did we say three? We meant seven. That makes eight raptors, all of whom are glaring daggers at you, as a slightly bigger raptor rams through the door, eventually shaking off the disorientation of ramming through your front door.
After a moment of staring at their leader's disorientation, during which you are inching towards the other set of stairs, they all resume glaring daggers at you.

@Schlck, Revyark, Cyber:
"Yeah I stole it. And you stole from me. And I stole stuff back. The baby dragon stole my heart figuratively, and its parent likely wants to do it literally. We are stealing from life itself as we fish, and us breathing is stealing from the atmosphere. Stealing is just how we express ourselves on this island. For example, if I stole your map I would be conveying I am not trusting your sense of direction, if I stole your watch it means I appreciate your choice in time ware. If I steal your knife and resources, it means I am planning on killing you or leaving you for dead. Just deal with it." Schlck notes, gaining a nod from Revy, as he prepares to continue fishing.
"Great, now I have another dangerous being to deal with." She replies, as Cyber perks up.
"The dragon, or Schlck?" He states, with a smirk.
"The dragon. Though they're probably not as dangerous as the lizards that chased me." Revyark noted, as she began to tell them everything. How she had followed the paintings, and bumped into them, and how they were out for her blood.
"Let's hope they don't come here." Cyber'd say, as Schlck spoke.
"It's fine. We don't have to outrun the lizard folk, just you. We still need to get our own recurring antagonists. They're probably only as much of a threat to us specifically as much as anything else on this island." He'd say, with a thumbs up.
"Pfft, yeah. Let's hope they aren't too persistent!"
Schlck then stopped, as he turned to Cyber.
"Please don't jinx us Cyber. If I'm getting some kind of nemesis, I dont want Revvy's sloppy seconds. But yeah, we are probably just below Revvy but above any other survivors on this island in terms of their most-wanted just by being near Rev. You better make this cult proud, because otherwise we may have to consider excommunication."
(Sloppy seconds?) "I'll try my best. And maybe try to reason with those Lizard folk. If I can, anyway." Revy'd state, as Schlck began to walk back towards the water.
"I wish that Tranq was here. Maybe he could make them his waifs." Cyber'd state aloud, as Revy turned to look at him, along with Schlck.
"Anyway... What else should we do? Maybe look for some food." Cyber'd finish, as Schlck readied the fishing rod, dopey grin on his face, turning for a moment. Had he heard something whooshing in the wind?
Nah.
"Relax guys, I got you-
That was as far as he got, as a talon nabbed him, a massive raven landing in front of Revy and Cyber for a moment.
Schlck fires the flare gun! The raven backs up, and lets go of him!
The flare gun missed!
The raven would eye the weapon in Schlck's hand, along with Revyark and Cyber, Revy clutching blade, and decided it wanted an easier meal, before flying off.
"... Whew! At least he...went...away, right?" Revyark stated, trying to avoid how bright the red light from the flare screaming THREE COURSE DINNER! GET YOUR THREE COURSE DINNER RIGHT HERE!
To your front is the waves.
To the right is beach, leading into a forest of palm trees.
Behind you is the cliff.
To the left is the river and more beach, though you could go behind you by following the river.

>This asshole lizard thinks he's tough shit, and will probably just throw a knife in our backs if we run. Charge him (the first one) and try and stab him through the chest, he won't be expecting a attack. Hopefully.

"Playtime's over."
> Place the crowbar on the ground nearby.
> Equip spear.
> Head out into the hall Starbee and Skiller went out of, and head in the direction of the scream.
> If/when the lizards come into sight, briefly take note of Skiller/Starbee/The Lizards' movements.
> If the lizards seem unusually dexterous, or if Skiller's attack doesn't seem to have much effect, fall back into the computer room, and then head for the intersection I previously went to to get to the computer room. Otherwise, charge and circle to the side of Skiller. If Skiller's attack manages to kill or otherwise incapacitate the lizard he's attacking, attack the other lizard. Otherwise, attack the lizard he's attacking.
> If the lizard I attack grabs the spear, pull back. If the spear doesn't break, let go.
> If the spear breaks or I lose it, equip my hatchet, and prepare to swing with it should one of the lizards close in, while backing up through the hall.

>Calm down. Well, we need to find ways back to the Kiddie Pool God for the future, so maybe just follow the river a slight ways? But yeah, best we move a few hundred feet or so and don't have larger birds or even dragons follow that flare to us. Or maybe those Lizards or whatever may be in the water.
They told me I could be anything, so I spent thirty minutes explaining why I couldn't before they said I could be a professor.
