Throws hammer to the ground in frustration.
Walks to the forest at our North to kill animals with bear bare hands.

Vittori takes the axe and goes off to cut trees.

[roll:1]

Osred throws his hammer so unfortunately that it slams right against his right foot, smashing two largest toes. The pain is almost unbearable, but slowly it subsides.

Then he walks, with some limp, toward the forest, alongside Vittori.

Half an hour later, or maybe less than that, they arrive at the wall of trees - Torgajo Forest.

Begin organizing and rationing the food and drinks in such a way that we can survive for the longest time possible.

His mathematics and organizing skills gave Sieghart estimates: One barrel of meat should last for seven people for around two days if moderately rationed. And a lentil soup made from 1/4 of a sack could make a one large, filling meal for all of the seven migrants.

decided to help with setting up camp.

Help setup camp

Gustave and Harald thus decided to set up the camp. The first thing to do would be making a bonfire around which the group could gather around.

[roll: 3, +1 (team)]

After several minutes, they managed to make a circle of stones and gather a small pile of dry sticks. Given the fact they were near swamp, it was a stroke of good luck they found any dry sticks at all.

Knick-knack went the firestones. Soon, they began to be warm and turned from grey to orange-grey. Minute after that they were searingly hot and glowing orange and had to be placed under the pile of sticks.

And then, there was a fire - small at start, but it was growing slowly with time.

Lorbam goes searching for stuff near the swamp to build a small animal trap

[roll:4]

The old lady went toward the swamp and after a search, she found few thick sticks and a bunch of strong, fiber-y stalks that could be used as rope pieces.

Take the shovel and set up 3 small growing areas - one of quickroot, one for lentil, and one fallow, for crop rotation. Slash and burn if needs be! Tether the Mares near the growing area to give myself a little rudimentary farm - we can eat them as a last resort.

The ground proved to be quite uncooperative. It wasn't fault of the grass or bushes - it was just that everytime the shovel struck the earth, it either found watery, muddy spot or hit against a rock with a loud clank. Much dirt replacing was needed to accomodate for excessive moistness or to fill holes leftover by dug-up rocks.

Karel managed to finish only one growing area from planned three.

Skolt says, "Screw this, I just gonna walk there."
And walk he does.

Surprisingly, Skolt was allowed to leave through the northern gate. The guards must've mistaken him for one of the peasants living at the farmhouses.

And walk he did. After some time, he managed to get at the very outskirts of Kuppelbern, just passing the last visible farmhouse along the Northern Road (and the last lantern post as well).

But the sun now hid behind the horizon and it was getting darker with each passing minute - soon, Skolt will be engulfed by darkness, especially that the sky began to get cloudy.

It is now evening.
Clouds roll on the sky.

Omigosh.

I just began watching DS9 series. This is like Star Trek meeting CSI-of-sorts meeting some War-politics drama series. This is simply wonderful, sorry Picard!

I NEED TO WATCH MORE.

I sneezed.

Now it looks like a horse ejaculated on my bedroom floor.

Oh god I'm so glad I swallowed before reading your post.

ARGH WHY I'M CURSED WITH FERTILE IMAGINATIO-

Oh gods PUNS everywhere, abandooon threeeead Dx

Start unpacking, writing down the things we have one by one onto a piece of paper that I brought with me.

Vittori jumps off the wagon with some of the supplies and starts to set them down to check on them.

Lorbam looks for tools available into the pile

During the unpacking, a list could be made of things that were packed onto their wagon.

one wooden wagon: pulled by two chestnut mares
-two barrels of dried meat
-two bags of quickroot seeds
-two bags of lentils
-four bottles of cheap beer
-iron tools: axe, hammer, shovel
-box of nails (~100)
-wooden utensils (six bowls, spoons, forks)
-six bedrolls
-large iron pot
-four torches
-two firestones
-wooden bow
-quiver with 15 copper-tipped arrows
-leather-bound paper sheets
-jug with several writing charcoals

//Explanations:
Quickroot: Think of carrot that grows in less than a week and tastes like dry mud. But it's nutritious!
Firestones: Basically magical stones that start producing intense heat for an hour or so after being hit against each other. This heat can produce fire.

Jump off the wagon and start looking for things to plant, and a good place to plant them.

There is a bag of readily plantable quickroot seeds, and sprouting lentils wouldn't be hard anyway.

Checking the terrain fertility was an easy task. There's large patch of fertile land north from the wagon. It's just as moist at is should be, neither too dry or too wet.

Search for the best place to start building a shelter

[roll:3]

Mud, less or more watery, was everywhere at the moment. Maybe it was recent rain, maybe it was like all the time, maybe Harald didn't look closely - but he haven't found a suitable place for a house. It will take some time to dry and strengthen the ground before a house could be build.

He said and proceeded to scour the immediate area for possible hostilities.

Go looking for animals to kill with bear bare hands.

[roll: 4 +1 team]

Together, Osred and Gustave managed to scour a large area around the wagon. There were few small lizards, a hedgehog, a bunch of dragonflies.

And that was all. No large animals, prey or predatory, were found by the duo. But who knows - maybe the animals could be found up north, at the horizon, where they could see the forest, currently looking like a dark green wall.

I've done Amon's portrait in MSPaint in 30-40 minutes
On other hand, I've made maybe ~10 avatars in my life, so
Of course accessories, long-hair and such can greatly increase difficulty. Never made one with those that would look neat.

I'm gonna add the background.

And the boxes are pallette :3

EDIT: Damned Taricusian ninjas

EDITEDIT: Amon is too short to nicely fit into background :I His fault though, should've drank more milk...

Nooooo D:

Oh well.

//Oh right - please put your actions in bold so I can see them better and don't mix them up with in-character stuff.
