Go hunting for food or raw materials all night, if I find animal tracks try to bring down as many animals as I can and bring them back whole.
You manage to convince Lena to let you borrow Gobush for the night. Although your body still craves sleeping at night you fight off the temptation and hunt throughout the night. While the Goblin does not seem to share your enthusiasm for it, perhaps because he is away from his chieftan, he seems better suited to night hunting than you are as he points out several animals that you missed.
You manage to collect several small snakes and two pigs due to his help. Other than a few holes in them you manage well enough to keep them intact. Unfortunately one of your Rock-Head Spears break during the hunting process.
[You collect 4 snake corpses and 2 pig corpses. One of your Rock-Head Spears broke! You lose one Rock-Head Spear.]
Try to start setting up a basic smelter and then start looking for ores in the ground. Also let the goblin hunt with mesor
You manage to convery to Gobush that you want him to travel with Leon for the night. You then set about making a smelter. With your knowledge of smelters you set one up rather swiftly with several rocks and a fire made from several logs. Like the original fire it seems to feed off the wards strength the keep it going.
You then set about looking for ores. However you have no luck. It would appear that a forest is not the best place to search for ores.
[You make a Basic Smelter. You lose 4 large rocks and 3 logs.]
When I wake up, craft more arrows and cut some of the hide loose, to use it as a grip for my bow for more accuracy, then rejoin Leon's hunt.
You spend your night crafting with what you have. Working a strip of hide lose you reinforce your bow so that it will be less likely to break. You then craft some extra Primitive Arrows. Sure they have no arrowheads but the sharpened sticks will work well enough for you purposes.
It takes surprisingly little time for you to do this and you eventually head out to assist Leon and Gobush on their hunt. Between the three of you manage to kill 2 pigs and 2 snakes. Unlike Leon however you butcher them as well as you can on the spot. Gobush seems annoyed by your methods however.
[You lose 1 hide, 3 sticks and 3 large feathers. Your Primitive Bow is now a Reinforced Primitive Bow. You Gain 3 Primitive Arrows, 8 rations, 2 hides, and 2 snake skins.]
Look for alchemical plants and also look for rations. Come up with some weapons designs, maybe help with the smelter.
You look for plants that could be put to alchemical uses and rations. While doing so you ponder about various weapon designs that might be useful. Your mind continually drifts to Lena’s Unweildy Primitive Hammer. It’s decent but… You got it! If she used a stick instead of a log for a handle its efficiency would be improved by quite a bit. You resolve to tell her this as soon as you can but for now you continue your search. When you have finally finished you have no time to help Lena with the smelter as your body demands sleep. Never-the-less you had a good night with regards to rations.
{You find 3 rations and 5 Alchemy Plants.]

Backround: Gobush was once a well known butcher in Nishi Village but his dislike of the destructive nature of his old warchief caused his downfall. He is now just a nameless wanderer who seeks to be safe in numbers again.
Located somewhere within an un-named forest whose trees seem to crave magic. It contains two of our heroes, and Gobush .To the southern end of the Basecamp there resides a Small Primitive Hut and a Basic Smelter whose fire has gone out.
You still have yet to name the forest nor has anyone discovered a name for it. It’s trees seem to feed on magic but are not sentient. There is plenty of wood and with each day your ability to find materials in it grows as does your familiarity with the area. However you suspect that there is a goblin tribe nearby. This can’t be the entire world can it?
Gobush speaks of mountains to the west of the Goblin Village. They house a tribe of what he calls the “Not-us”… What these creatures are, if they exist, is a mystery. Gobush himself seems to hold no interest in these rumors.
[Spoiler=Small Primitive Hut]
Standing at about six feet tall and four feet wide this construction can only contain 1 small humanoid comfortably, 2 small humanoids uncomfortably, and 1 medium humanoid uncomfortably. It will protect against small creatures though not against sentients or larger animals. While it’s not much to look at it certainly beats sleeping outside.
A small pile of rocks and logs that is capable of smelting ores into usable metal bars. While not fancy it can smelt certain items. However it’s fire is currently out and needs to be relit before it can be used again.
According to Gobush there is a Goblin Village led by Nishi the Butcher far to the North, past the Forest. The despotic leader has a taste for destruction and so he has taken to destroying anything he can raid. While there are several goblins who dislike this modus operandi they have no choice but to comply. A few lucky ones escape. The others are part of the royal feasts.
Rations: While preventing starvation the food you’ve found here has slight medicinal properties healing 3 health per meal.
Primitive Shivs = Sharpenable materials such as wood can be made into these primitive weapons. While not as strong as a metal dagger or even a metal bar they are capable of being made into other things.
Primitive Axe= Sharp rocks attached to a stick can form this primitive tool. It’s sharp enough to do damage to both flesh and wood. However it is frail and probably won’t last long. Luckily it’s easily made and takes little skill.
Primitive Arrows= Primitive Shivs that have been fletched with large arrows. While they lack an arrow-head they are useful enough at the moment when used in conjunction with a bow. However without one they are little more than decorated Primitive Shivs.
Unweildy Primitive Hammer= Basically just a big rock on a log this is useful only for the most basic of hammerings. In fact it’s so unwieldy and hard to use that it’s impossible to use in combat for long.
Small Primitive Hut= A hodge-podge collection of stone and wood it’s really not that bad for a first go. It will protect against smaller wild-life without the need for a ward. Sentients or larger wild-life however will make short work of it.
Primitive Wooden Shield= Made up of wood and a basic strap this shield will protect against basic damage but will be worthless against metal or fire. It’s stability is also low so it’s unlikely to last long against repetitive attacks.
Rock-head Spear= A stick with a sharpened rock on it. Not the best weapon on Centria but it will damage fleshy targets. However it is very brittle and will break easily.
Primitive Spear= Otherwise known as a sharpened stick. It will hurt but is unlikely to cause deadly blows. It’s a basic weapon that can be adapted through several methods. It’s versatility is matched only by its frailty as this weapon is very likely to break.
Primitive Bow= A basic bow made of a stick and some string plants. It will launch an arrow a sufficient distance however it needs to be sturdier before it can launch them beyond a small range. The arrows launched from this will kill if shots are lucky but mostly they will wound.
Primitive Knife= A sharp rock attached to a small wooden hilt. It can cut through flesh easily enough but is rather brittle and likely to break at any-time. Gobush seems to have an affinity for them.
Reinforced Primitive Bow= A Primitive Bow that has been reinforced with a strip of leather so that it will not shatter so easily. It is also more accurate.
TIP: Forest floors don’t tend to contain ores.
TIP: While hunting is very profitable it is also much more dangerous than foraging.
TIP: Unbolded actions will be ignored from now on.
