How Much Longer?

The snakes are always released at the midpoint of a trans-oceanic flight. This is a necessary rule, as otherwise the pilot could just land the plane and get rid of the snakes. Creative SMs can come up with exceptions to this rule, such as:

* This is a cross-country flight but there's a gigantic snowstorm and the pilot can't land anywhere but his destination.

* This is a cross-country flight but the pilot is bitten by a snake. Thus the plane can't be landed without help.

The plane has between 2 and 12 hours to reach its destination once the snakes are released; the SM rolls 2 dice to determine how many hours.

Every time a character makes a task resolution check, the clock advances by 15 minutes. Every time a character is attacked by a snake, the clock advances 30 minutes.

Once the time remaining elapses, the plane arrives at its destination. Everyone who accomplished the task stated in their Story is a WINNER. Everyone who did not accomplish that task is BITTEN BY A SNAKE and DIES.
