"Can't do anything with the rotting meat...and if I could I wouldn't want to. Using rotting meat for cooking doesn't exactly sound appealing..." Alakai spoke as he took the rotting meat, but then immediately deleted it. Some monsters dropped literally useless items. The rotting meat was one of them. Even shops didn't give any money for it, and with good reason in his opinion. The rune was a great addition though. And she too had picked up a few fish, and some more leather scraps. Those could be sold to players, as it was an early item for leather working. The leather armour he had found as well, as a leatherworker could de-construct them to get more materials. So far, everything that they could sell would be worth around 300 gold. A good start indeed.

Once Alakai had handed the cloth over, he started on cooking all of the fish they had gathered. He tried two at once first, and to his pleasant surprise it worked. So even though he was using the skill to cook the food, he apparently wasn't limited to one serving each time. So the second time he put 6 fish around the fire to cook, greatly speeding up his skill progression. Which would give them more time to fight after their break. "Since I'm still busy for a bit, why not try to make something with the cloth?" The man suggested, trying to optimize the time they had. He wasn't sure how long tailoring took, but if his cooking was anything to go by she would at least be able to do a little bit. Like preparing the tattered cloth into normal cloth, so it could actually be used to make something later on. Though that was about as far as his knowledge of the skill went, as he hadn't looked into higher skill levels.

Once all of the fish were cooked, Alakai's skill had gone up by 11 points. Each fish didn't quite give a full level, but it was still quite fast since the skill was still low level. Once he was done with the fish though, it was time for their actual meal. He took the deer meat and grabbed some seasoning, starting to prepare them as he waited for the fire to die down a little more. Then he put the cooking pot on, put some water in, and placed the meat inside. The first thing he wanted to buy once they were back in town was a grill so he could make grilled meat as well. Right now this would have to do though.
