[CoughDrop]

the animals and crew could use a rest.

Good point.

Knowing that she'll have to do some digging, Latist will spend any extra time with familiarizing herself with the pick, and asking help from anyone who might know more.

[Samthere]

Gar: looks over at V-Norrec to see what she's doing, then decides to try whittling a figurine of an adorable puppy for his puppy Uth to cuddle.

[Lillipad]

I'll sit with my log, and stroke my beard in a hard-boiled manner. It's also about time for me to have a black&white flashback.

[Shade-o]

IronyOwl

You sidle over to one of the guards. He's happy to be on caravan duty, as it's much more interesting than patrols, without the danger of a fully-fledged army march. He's relatively fresh out of training, but is more experienced than a recruit. He regales you with a tale of how he once saw a kobold on patrol! You don't have the heartlessness to refer him to Mikhail.

CoughDrop

You get to know your pick. You admire its weighted head that tapers to a fine point, able to crack the hardest rock. The shaft is sturdy and has a good grip, suitable for long hours of backbreaking labour.

As you look around for a more experienced miner, you slowly fill with horror as you realise you are the most experienced miner.

So is Lillipad, but it's still pretty horrifying.

Samthere

After seeing Norrec trying her hand at handicrafts, you join in. On your first try you make a puppy-shaped wooden toy!

Lillipad

You've had a really rough week. You deserve some time to think. You fall forwards into a noirish flashback! What happened, back then?

[Samthere]

Gar: gives the puppy toy to Uth and gives him a pat on the head, then starts up with some travelling songs.

[CoughDrop]

 
Practice digging into some rock.

[Hastur]

*I cook a dinner for the rest of the dwarves, by pooling the days food ration and splitting it up into appetisers, garnishes and main courses, i expects to delight the palette of my felow dwarves with a skillfully preppared meal, as opposed to everyone eating one plump helmet. I make the main course some boiled soup with herbs in it to fool them into thinking they are eating more than they really are. Once I am done I call for a group meal, and I Make a toast about how lucky we are and have the gods watching over us to our destiny.

[FuzzyZergling]

Hypothetically speaking, if we set up a still, start work on my barrel of fresh plump helmets, then disassemble it and leave, would the wine mature while on the way to the site?
Can you disassemble a workshop without loss, even?

[V-Norrec]

Have some sparring practice with Ochita, where I teach him the finer points of brawling and he helps me get used to my shield.

[IronyOwl]

Not wanting to be left out, grab a piece of wood and try to carve it into something.

[Lillipad]

"Well, back in those days I had just started growing my beard. Back then I was neither loose cannon, nor hard-boiled. These were dark days, but they triggered my joining the military. I was fresh out of the academy, and to my lament the elves had just made peace with us. I am still unsure as to how this happened, needless to say I was disgusted.
I enlisted into the military, seeing it as an opportunity to rekindle the war between our ancient races. I also saw it as a chance to actually use the skills I had acquired in the military. My first mission was to help a crazed dwarf lady discover who murdered her husband. It turns out that the murderer was a stray cat that was considering adopting them. That accursed feline has been missing to this very day."

[Nirur Torir]

I strike up a riveting conversation with Adil Olinlolor Tongsletter about cats.

[Shade-o]

Can somebody with red-green blindness confirm if the new chart is legible?

Samthere

You give your little handicraft to Uth, who immediately starts gnawing it happily. You start up a cheerful song, and soon the whole countryside is ringing with travelling songs you learned from The Gnome and The King of the Ring series. Those books had so many travelling songs.

FuzzyZergling
Hypothetically, it would take a disproportionate amount of time to unpack and pack the stuff from the wagons as they have been specially tetris-stacked for ultimate storage, and the rough trip would play havoc with the fermentation process.

Hastur

You gather up the plain rations and decide to make it into something greater than the sum of its parts. Though you're a noble, you've taken an interest in cooking and aren't completely helpless. Unfortunately, you completely ruin the food in every conceivable way. You quickly throw it away and start again, planting evidence for somebody else to take the blame for the missing supplies.

Your second attempt is much better, though somewhat simple. The amount of time that you work on it ensures that it is hearty and delicious, and everybody enjoys it. Everybody is cheered by this unexpected bonus, and agree that the gods must be watching over them all.

V-Norrec

You take your buckler and try to learn to block with it. Though small, quick reflexes can block almost any attack with it. Ochita helps by trying to get past your defence with punches.

IronyOwl

It's a regular elf convention! You pick up a bit of wood and start carving it, not knowing what you'll make. After some time you've made a nice little item, though you can't tell what it is.

Lillipad

You break out of your reverie just in time to see Denrhymed watching you. It almost seems to know what you were thinking, but it's ridiculous! That is clearly a kitten, and time travel/age rejuvenation is just a plot device for bad dramas.

Nirur Torir

You meet Adil (now clean of white slime) and discuss the merits of cats. Denrhymed and Sankest are each on your laps, telepathically communicating. When they are done, you each bow and take your leave.

[Lillipad]

I'll go into a battle of hard-boiled chess with Denrhymed. Because everyone knows that the caravan we're on has a hard-boiled chess set. Everyone.

[Shade-o]

Lillipad

You challenge Denrhymed to a game of chess, but it innocently licks its paws, playing the 'non-sentient animal' routine. Damn, they're good.
