Katalmach loudly clapped his hands together to get everyone's attention. Most where finished eating or at least they had eaten, though he spotted a few odd ones in the crowd. The dragon, the woman pointing her spear at them, a fury girl, and a really cute fox kid who Katalmach was certain was a boy. He didn't feel like explaining things again so he just started doling out orders. [color=firebrick]"Aight gits, enough standing around. We got [i]shit[/i] to do. As you can see dis place is a right mess an in dire need of sum walls. And fer dat, we need wood. Not just any twigs though; we need big pieces of lumber. Da tree's round ere ain't thick enuff so we gunna go out a bit further, get some wood choppin done. Don't worry bout wagons fer now, we ain't going far and I can drag em to camp if we need ta. Though if any of y'all know how to make a wagon, great. If ya don't, den yer better learn quickly."[/color] Katalmach walked over to he big table and laid out a map. It wasn't a great map; it had details of the cave, the camp, and a few obvious landmarks like a river, hill, or some strange rock formation, but otherwise didn't seem to note anything else like nests, ravines, or streams. Katalmach circled the area where they'd be going to get lumber, which was only about a mile north.

[color=firebrick]Dat ain't da only thing though; I only got enuff food fer maybe a week, if we ration. Dat means we don't got a lotta food. Which means I need people out dere huntin and gatherin. And before ye knuckleheads all volunteer to go out in da words ta kill shit, know dat not every beastie and animal out dere is eadible. If dey ain't blight infested dey just straight up poisonous, so ye'd be wastin time and energy killing some big fuck off wyvern and we can't even eat em. not to mention we do need a balance diet. Eat nuthin but meat and yer bones gunna get weak. So wif dat said, dis is wot ye be hunting."[/color] Katalmach also took out another piece of parchment with an illustration of some sort of moss-covered boar. Katalmach's signature was written over the scribbled out name of the actual artist. [color=firebrick]"Mosswine. Big ole sows wif armored bones an greens growing outta their backs. Tough enough ta hold dere own against some predators, but dey still da type that survive by outbreeding, not out fightin. Still dey make great livestock; their meat's just like regular boar, dere bones can be used fer tools and shit, and they grow nutritious mushrooms on dere bodies. Just be careful, some of em are poisonous too, but even dat'll be useful fer traps and shit. Bring about ten of deez babies back ta camp where I can skin an harvest em fer da larder. By da by, we need ta make a larder."[/color]

Katalmach circled an area to the west, marking where the Mosswines were last seen. He looked around the group and decided that he'll make the team; he could trust these people to make their own decisions and he does predict a lot going off hunting instead of gathering materials. Which would be fine if they were bandits, but unless there was a village nearby he never knew about raiding wasn't an option. Yet. [color=firebrick]"Aight so let's see. I'm gunna go gather da wood. Pinkie ([@Rekaigan]), Fist-a-Knight ([@Zelosse]), Blackbeard ([@ManoftheNorth]), lil fox boy ([@Lunarlors34]), and new cat ([@Ookawa]), yer wif me. I expect y'all ta be able ta use yer talents ta pull yer weight. Failing dat, grab some axes an saws, we got wood ta cut. Da rest of y'all can decide ta stay in camp or ta go huntin. But if I don't think ye be doin shit, den you ain't gettin dinner from me. And don't bother tryin ta pry open me pot either; it's enchanted. If ye wanna steal food, ye can go into da dwarf's tent cuz dat's were I put all my ingredients."[/color] With all that said Katalmach went to put on some armor; not the whole plate, just the breastplate in case he runs into danger. He grabbed his battle axe as well as a few regular axes and made his way towards the grove of trees he was going to harvest. With any luck, he'll have people there with him.

After Ebony explained things to the big guy, Katalmach decided to dole out orders to get things done around the camp. He was going to go get some wood to set up fortifications while everyone else was either suppose to go hunting or watched over the camp. Ebony didn't mind hunting; that was more up her alley than just playing with wood. She decided that since Kat was ordering people around for the material expedition, she'll lead the hunting party. Hunting was something she does well so it felt right to her. [color=forestgreen]"Okay, everyone who wants to go hunting should come with me! I think I know where those Mosswines are, so we can go there and back. Of course don't expect to fight just them; plenty of demons and monsters between us and our prey, so be ready for anything! We should keep the party fairly small, too big of a group and we'll be spotted by everything. Let's see.... Dragon girl ([@Ennui]), squirrel-bird man ([@ManoftheNorth]), and priest dude ([@Kalleth])! I got a good feeling about you all. Let's go hunting!"[/color]

Grabbing her gear Ebony ran out from the camp to scout ahead. Not long after she ran into a strange fishy girl ([@Ookawa]). Ebony decided to recruit her. More people means less work for her, but she can still take the credit for organizing and leading the group. [color=forestgreen]"Hey. Me and some others are going to go hunting. Do you want to come with?"[/color] Looking at the girl and her fish like features, Ebony knew she was going to be a bit of a liability for overland travel. Fortunately Ebony had an idea. [color=forestgreen]"The stream nearby actually connects to a larger river where we're going. I think if you take the river down to meet up with us, you can flank the mosswines we're after, get a few sneak attacks on them. Maybe check the waters for anything useful too."[/color] Ebony gave the girl a thumbs up as she started to walk away. [color=forestgreen]"Your choice really! The camp could use some guards too!"[/color]

Xia just looked flustered and confused as the cat girl as she started to sniff around her, even going underneath her skirt. [color=yellowgreen]"W-What!? Stop that!"[/color] Xia pulled her skirt close together as the cat girl ran off into the forest. Xia debated following her but before she could even take a few steps forward, the girl was gone. Followed by gunshots. Xia was shocked and just looked to the others in camp. It seemed like they were going to do something now. Some were going to go cut wood, others were going to go hunting. Xia wasn't sure if she was suited for either. She wasn't very good with manual labor, and she was a bit nervous about killing things, even for sustenance. She guess she'll just stay in camp for now. As everyone was leaving she did spot a wounded woman holding a spear, pointing it fearfully at the group. Xia was equally nervous, but she didn't want a fight in the camp. Not with all of these strangers. So before things got out of hand Xia went over to the wounded woman ([@Noodles]). 

[color=yellowgreen]"P-P-Please put your weapon down! No one is here to hurt you!"[/color] Xia stood in front of the woman but far from her spear, putting her hands up to show that she did not have a weapon. Xia looked frighten yet still thought it was a good idea to stand in front of his angry spearwoman. [color=yellowgreen]"I understand that you're confused about where you're at, I am too. I just got here and everything is just.... It's just so weird.... B-B-But friendly, I think. Right now anyways. So could you please put that spear down and.... And let me help you up?"[/color] Xia gulped as looked at the spearwoman before looking around for others. The first person she laid eyes on was the dwarf chef ([@Zelosse]). She remembered hearing some of his words and he seemed nice enough. Hopefully he knew how to treat a wound too. [color=yellowgreen]"Excuse me! Sir! Do you have any medical supplies? I think this woman broke her leg."[/color]
