Knap another sharp stone, with edges on both sides like last time, but wrap your hands in some of the wolf hide strips first. Then do the following:
Look for a solid bone, about the width of your hand, preferably a bit bigger, and as thick and sturdy as possible. Next, take your pointed rock and carefully chip two notches on either side of the rock, along the length of the rock from the bottom. Make each about two thingers high from the bottom and about half a thinger deep. Then take the bone and carve a niche in one end to hold the rock. Now take some long grass and weave it together to form some tough twine, then insert the rock into the bone, use the twine to wind around the rock and bone to hold it in place. If it keeps slipping, carve a small channel in the bone to keep the twine in place, but make sure it's not too deep.
You knapp yet another grey rock, using some of the strips along with your skill, you manage to make a double-blade whithout cutting yourself! You scan your wolf and rabbit bones for one that could be used as a handle, while you do so, your meat is done cooking, so you eat it. You manage to find a somewhat suitable bone for your knife, a wolf tibia, you notch out all the respective holes, and wind the vine around it, you dont really know what to do with your knife for now, so you just set it on the edge of your meat container.
You then hear roars of some beast. You're terified at the sound, and it seems to come from the river, but you can't see anything from here.
Track woman. Find her cave. Observe.
You dont think that woud be a good idea, though it might be good to try and convince her to join you, you dont know if you could break the language barrier unless she was willing...
You take your dried bowl to the river to fill it up, and you see the big animal, dead... it's been mostly stripped of meat, but not of it's skin. You also see tracks, about your foot size, and there are tool marks over then bones. You look around and to your ability there isn't anyone else here at the moment, so you loot it, striping the rest of the skin off, and taking some of the more useful bones, scaplulas, skull, tibias, femurs, and a couple of the bigger ribs. You manage to lug all this back to your cave before anything got back to the corpse, you hang the skin up on your rack, it's huge! You pile the bones with the others...
