[color=0072bc][h3]Ardur The Mighty Hipixie[/h3][/color]  [color=92278f] All the armor > Prep the food /// Adventuring day 5 // Afternoon / Location - Forest [/color]

Breathe in and out, in and out. Feel the mana of the world around you and pull it into you. A slow process but with every breath he felt lighter, with every breath he felt stronger. Now was a time to train, he knew that but there was one more thing he needed to do. That thing was to preserve the rest of the food that they had gotten from that deer, food he had left in the shade and out of the sun.

Standing from his meditation feeling better than he did but still not quite full. Taking his sharp stone the high pixie grabbed a few sticks that were laying around that were strong and green with Y branches he could use to wedge the pieces together and create a sort of crude teepee. Gathering some more branches and loose twigs with some green vegetation. Making separate piles for the two, he looked at the others and smiled.

[color=92278f]“Go ahead and do what he asks Steve just be careful. This way you can grow stronger too.” [/color]Looking back to his piles of debris Ardur pauses for a moment. This would be a good time to think about what to do after this, [color=92278f]“System show complete stats for character Ardur… or player Ardur.”[/color] He could not remember if he asked like this before but it was worth a chance.

Digging out under the sticks, he set up next to the smaller tree so that he could use it as a brace. The pixie began setting up a small pile of twigs, bark, and dry leaves. Really, anything that looked like it would burn and then set to taking the sharp rock to cut the meat he had left into small strips to hang over the sticks he set up. Once he was feeling optimistic about his plan to smoke and dry the rest of the meat he knelt down to the pile of kindling and carefully held it in his hands.

[color=92278f]“Fire nurtures and keeps us warm; the mother cradles it to keep it protected by those who would extinguish it.”[/color] He was holding the pile of tinder like it was something precious and very slowly started to cast a [u]fireball I[/u] spell releasing just enough mana to get it started and warm. [color=92278f]“This flame is that of the mother for it will feed us for some days. This flame is of the protector, the beasts will stay away. It is a flame of the king, for the wise prepare ahead.”[/color] This spell was not being used for fighting but for cooking, he was curious as to see if the spell changed when not being used in an aggressive manner.

Once the tinder bundle would ignite, Ardur would set it under the meat in the center of the sticks. Slowly setting more and more branches. Once the fire was big enough to sustain itself, he would add the green plants to make smoke. With this hopefully the small strips of meat would be dried out and smoked to help preserve them. He is aware of the basic way to smoke meat but was unaware of the details to it.
