You take time to sit down and wrap your bare feet in some palm fronds in hopes the sturdy leaves might offer some protection if woven together the right way. When you are finally satisfied with your work, you move on into the jungle.

The air in the jungle is hot and moist, but cooler that the exposed sand of the beach. Foxtail palms, date palms, and banana trees spring up around you, but they are not the tallest trees in the jungle. Large broad-leafed rainforest trees form an ever green canopy above you. Ferns, violets, toadstools and birds-of-paradise are clustered thickly about the narrow trail you're now traveling on. It's likely a trail that animals use to travel to water. Water does sound good right about now. As you travel on, your stomach growls with hunger and symptoms of the early stages of dehydration appear. You wonder how long you were unconscious and how long you have been without food or water. Your makeshift shoes do provide good protection for your feet, however. You are able to travel a long way very quickly.

As the sun begins to set and the complaining of your stomach reaches a fever pitch, you stumble upon a small village in a man made clearing in the trees. There are five mud and stick huts, a little more than waist high, in a circle around a campfire. Despite the size of the huts, the people milling about in this small clearing are of average height, not much shorter than you. They have deeply tanned skin and long, dark brown hair. Several pairs of dark brown eyes turn your way as you step into the clearing in the palms. The men in the group - about ten total - leap to their feet at the sight of you, grabbing whatever weapons they have at hand. The women pull the children close to them. You freeze, uncertain what to do next.

Do you:

• Run away
• Attempt to Communicate
