"Hey! My its kill!"
Cute deathclaw roar go! Locate heart and brain, rise them high so everyone around can see them and devour both with gusto.

You dig your way into the flesh that the other guy cut out, looking for the brain and heart. But it suddenly occurs to you that, though your mother told you to eat the heart of the things you kill, you don't remember what a heart looks like. You narrow it down to a few things, but you're not sure which of these bits of flesh is the good one.
See if I can rip a femur out of the boar. Drop it from on high and gobble it up. Fresh marrow is an uncommon treat!
Or, if that doesn't work, have Hairy Dave chop a bone in half for me before gobbling it up.
((I just realized we have a Hairy Dave and a Dinosaur Dave in the gang.))
You grab a few bones and drop them from a good height, smashing them open on some nearby rocks. This boar was of uncommon size and his bones are pleasantly large as well, and filled with delicious marrow. You eat your fill of the stuff, tearing it out with beak and talons. You make a mental note to buy a small spoon at some point, as it would make things much easier.
Nab the beast's skin. Tote it and a slab of meat back to the warbeast.
You grab the pelt of the beast and fold it neatly before hefting a slab of meat over your shoulder and heading back to the war beast. Which, luckily, is right here thanks to Xan.
((Dino Dave!))
Time for a snack, then. Go browse the local foliage.
There's a lot of local foliage, and a large variety in it. After sampling several plants you decide that the best one is a purplish fern. It tastes vaguely sweet and is easy to chew.
((Who is where? I have a feeling our party is split into at least three places right now. Is it just Egan and I up on the plateau with the scarred people?))
Say: "I know it's not permanent, you said as much. I only wanted to put on a show. What, having a party isn't a good enough trade? You guys sing me big, I make with the entertainment, you guys dance and laugh. A good time is had by all."
If that fails to achieve, Sebastian will attempt to rejoin the party: "Hey guys! Don't leave without me!"
I think it's two places, 1 group with the scarred man, and another with the war beast over by the river.
The man says, in a roundabout fashion, that the sacred practices of his tribe are not for entertainment purposes.
You rejoin the others.
Gather some food from the boar?
You help everyone pile boar meat onto the warbeast.
Xankarvo's guiding intelligence (me) will be going on a trip to Internet-less areas for the next 10 days or so. During this time, Xankarvo will mainly stay at the helm of the warbeast, waiting for his meat shields to show up so he can go visit the Most-Beautiful. I'll see if I can post at all in the interim, but probably not.
Done.
"Grub's up!"
Happily distribute dead boar-bits to any of my new friends who want some!
Wish I had some sort of cheesy "kiss the cook" apron to wear.
Determine which part of the dead thing would be tastiest to one such as I, and eat my fill of it.
Then stuff some in the pockets of my vest for later.
You help store boar meat on the warbeast. You imagine that, unless this place is filled with some very hungry predators, that this meat isn't gonna get eaten in the next few days. Salting it might not be a bad idea, if you can find any.
You cook up some of the better looking cuts of meat and have a nice dinner.
