So, just how much am I allowed to interpret and manipulate the environment? Can I find a waterfall or river? Can I find some ruins? Can I turn around and attack the people chasing me, and if so, can I just state that I'm attacking them, or can I actually write some sort of result?

Good questions. I'll tackle them one by one. You can manipulate the environment, but it's on a case by case basis. So if ever you have questions about what comes next, ask away (like you are!) The island is small, and there are no waterfalls. River - sure. Ruins - sure. But keep in mind that this place really only has two sets of major ruins - the former resort (you are nowhere near it) and the former worker / resort employee community (you are close to it, but this is now the Outsiders' camp.) Might you find something else? Sure. But it'd be small. You can attack, you can state what you're doing, and in this case, you can write an outcome if you like (or leave it open for my reply if you prefer the fight to go on.) Typically, I would state no calling hits / damage. If you enter a fight, you RP it out with me, or the other PC's. This time though, you can do what you like.
