Strife, Barbarossa: Rest
The two of you sit by the fire and discuss life, the universe and everything whilst munching on deer meat until nightfall. It's not a bad way to spend the evening, but nothing gets done between the two of you.
Darvi, bdthemag: Short Range Scouting (1!), Hunt for whittling wood (1!)
The two of you head west into the forest, not meaning to team up, but two heads are better than one. bdthemag busies himself picking up a fistful of fairly clean, thick sticks for carving while Darvi scouts and tries to memorize this part of the forest. As you are walking along, the ground gives way under your feet, and the both of you plummet downward about forty feet into an icy cold underground lake of some sorts. Thankfully, neither of you are seriously injured, just a little bit scraped up from the fall. It takes the rest of the evening, but you manage to climb your way back out and get back to camp. Because of your little fall, both of you are wet, cold, and completely empty handed.
Burnt Pies: Move the meat (9), cook organs(24!)
You move the meat down into the "cave", laying down a layer of pine needles so that the meat doesn't stick to the stone. It is very cold down there, and the stone has started to frost up. As you're moving the meat, inspiration strikes you. You cut the top of the heart off, gut it like a bell pepper, and put it on the spit to roast. You then punch holes in the sides of the bucket near the very top, use a bowstring for a handle, and fill it half full of water. You steal the seasoning packets (salt and pepper) from the MREs, mince up the sweetbreads, liver and kidneys with the bone knife, and begin to make stew after hanging the bucket on the spit near the heart. It smells delicious. After it finishes cooking, which took all evening, you snag a plastic spoon you find stuck to the underside of an MRE with rubber cement (where you found the spice packets), scoop out a bite and taste it, and it is glorious. You cover your bucket with a plank of wood so that nothing gets into your stew.
AoD: Hunt for food and water. (5)
You note that you have a large quantity of fresh water in the clearing. At least a couple thousand gallons, possibly approaching 10,000, depending on how deep the spring is. Satisfied that you have found plenty of water, you set off north to find food. After about an hour fighting your way through the forest, you come upon a steep hill that is overgrown with brambles. In those bushes, you find two kinds of berries, blackberries and an odd, orange colored berry. You fill up the front of your shirt with both kinds of berries, and return to camp. Because of the awkwardness of walking through gnarled roots and slick pine needles whilst holding the front of your shirt out, combined with the fact that it's starting to get dark, it takes a long time to get back to camp. When you get back, Strife informs you that the orange berries are "Salmonberries" and are safe to eat, then demonstrates. You try one, finding it to be somewhat bland, but otherwise decent. Satisfied that you have something to put into the food cache, you rest for the rest of the evening.
