The World Of Bones - Succession World - Gator Attack
Grognak Osp found another saguarto to fell and cut it down. He took the logs back to the workshop and finished the walls of the cabin.
At this point he was kind of sleepy so he went to sleep on the floor of the unfinished artwork.
He woke up in the night, once again wanting to eat or drink something. Also he had forgotten to make a campfire.
He went back to river, which was NOT frozen, to take a drink and then found his backpack empty of rations.
He needed to hunt. Good thing he had three war doggos with him.
So at night he went searching for prey.
He sighted some buzzards and went for it. He tried to mount the yak but found out it wasn’t meant to be ridden as it was purely for carrying items, pulled out his axe, and charged them.
The dogs joined in and a three of the birds were killed and butchered.
He got six pieces of meat, one of which he ate, and then he went back to work on the cabin.
It needed a ramp so he could build a roof. After finished the ramp he went searching for more logs.
As he walked about he sighted camels, ravens, and a eagle. So there was a lot of food if one was willing hunt for it.
He chopped down another saguarto. But he also found some obsidian rocks. Interesting.
He took logs to the workshop and ate some more buzzard meat and drank from the river before continuing his work.
Most of the roof was finished but he still logs. More logs. He decided to explore the other side of the river even if his animals could not follow him, easily, across.
He found another saguarto to chop down. And took the logs to the workshop. He also noticed more obsidian rocks.
By nightfall the roof was finished and a door had been put in place. And a bed had been placed in the cabin.
So he went to sleep inside a proper building for once since he left the fort.
Of course he woke up before sunrise to have a meal of buzzard meat and drink from the river which was still unfrozen.
Maybe the southern regions were warmer?
In the morning he ate the last of the meat and drank from the river.
He knew there were plenty of animals in the area so he didn’t worry about starving. Though he did seem to be missing two of his dogs. Where had they wandered off to?
Still, he needed logs. So he went searching again. But before that he wondered if he could pull down the ramp to use as something else?
He WAS able to pull down the ramp and make it into a table.
Then he found the two missing dogs just laying on the ground. Alive but not moving.
Weird
Anyway, he crossed the river, found another saguarto, and cut it down. Sadly it was small and only gave him a few logs.
And he was hungry and thirsty by end of it. He would have to go hunting again soon!
Now the cabin had a chair with the table and bed. But now there needed to be a bridge. Which meant more logs have to be found.
But not after he hunted down some game and fed himself.
So he found and killed a snapping turtle which gave him 12 pieces of meat. It was a very big turtle.
He washed the blood off in the river where he also refilled his skins, drank some of the river, and ate some fresh turtle meat.
Then went looking for more logs.
This time two of the dogs folliowed him. Maybe the two stunned dogs had recovered?
Anyway, he found another saguarto, cut it down, and took its logs.
As he went back to the workshop he noticed his animals were attacking the wildlife. He found at least one dead badger. Which he butchered and recovered 8 pieces of meat.
He then tried to make a bridge but was one log short. So he went and chopped down another saguarto. He grabbed the logs and crossed the half finished bridge to be attacked by a alligator next to his workshop. While taken totally by surprise it missed him. Three times.
Grognak, with his axe, did not miss.
More meat!
After he killed the creature and butchered the corpse he finished the bridge. At least his animals could now cross the river without getting wet. His next piece of art was finished!
Hungry, thirsty, and tired he ate some gator meat, drank from the river, and went to bed in the new cabin.
The next day he had breakfast and named the new cabin, and bridge, the Home of Birds.
Then went south before his dogs killed all the birds and to save his yak who, when the sun came up, had gotten beat up by the gangs of roaming kangaroos.
