It's hard to remember one's youth, least of all when you had the rare opportunity to live two lives. Gren was awoken by the shouting and instinctively started swinging his arms, as usually when someone starts shouting that meant they were trying to attack him and a good punch to the jaw shuts them up quickly. But aside from bonking an unfortunate runt who was too close, Gren was not being attacked by anyone. He sat up and saw a bunch of the other kids line up for something so he ran over to see what it was all about. That's when he heard that it was time for the babies to become orcs! Or well, runts. But it was better than being a baby!

The job was simple. Go into the forest, kill something, bring it back. Sure there was some more nuances like "Don't eat the thing you kill" and "bring it back in one piece", but these minor details were stuff that Gren didn't feel the need to dwell on. And if anything he needed to figure out what he was going to hunt. He wanted something big, something to show the older orcs he was a good warrior, but he also didn't want to die. To that end, Gren went to grab his stuff, which was a stick and a pointy rock he had, like all young orcs. Despite being a wee youth even he knew that these tools weren't going to be enough to hunt most animals. Made him wish he had a gun. Then it made him think, what was a gun again? Memories started to fill his head that he wasn't sure was memories or just dreams... Or maybe he's just hungry.

Gren had a new idea. No sense in hunting on an empty stomach. While he's out there, he ought to get something to eat first. He's heard about some mushrooms that the hunters would eat that'll keep them full all day. Nothing they ever feed the grunts, but it is something you can find out in the field, so Gren figures he ought to find that first so he can hunt and fight on a full stomach. Otherwise he might actually eat whatever he chooses to hunt first, which is exactly what he's not suppose to do. Next, Gren would need to figure out how to hunt most of the beasts in the forest. While he was confident that he could just bash them with his stick, they're also usually faster than him and might run away if he's close to killing them. So he'll need something that'll let him hurt them from afar. Fortunately he remembers seeing some of the old women  make rope some vines and tree bark, and that gave Gren an idea. He could make a sling, get some rocks, and use that to throw at the animals and hurt them. Maybe even kill them.

Finally Gren needed to find something to actually kill. Slimes were just about everywhere and probably something he could kill easily, but he has no idea how he'd bring one back "whole". Maybe if he had a bucket or something, but if he wanted one he'd have to go find one in the camp. Which he might do, now that he thinks about it. Plenty of supplies in the camp he might be able to take with him if he's fast. Still slimes aren't really that impressive to kill and he's never eaten a slime before, so he doubts the orcs would like it if he brought back one of them. Direrats are a bit more impressive and actually have some meat on them, but even Gren knew they could be dangerous due to their bites. No, if anything Gren ought to hunt a Jackalope. They might not be that aggressive but Gren knew that their horns and hides are useful to the crafters, and Gren wanted to get on their good side. Plus the meat was tasty.

Thus Gren had a plan. First, find something to eat. Second, find stuff to use to hunt. Finally, kill a Jackalope. While he's sure the older orc expects the runts to run into the forest now, Gren ops to take a detour and look around camp for stuff he can use, things that the other orcs throw out and he might want. Scrap cloth, bits of string or ropes, bones stripped of their meat. Heck if he could manage it he'd just take stuff like a pot or bucket so he could use it as a helmet. Of course, Gren also doesn't want to end up getting beaten by his elders, so if it looks like they aren't going to be an easy mark, Gren would rather avoid incurring their ire. Maybe, since he's fairly big and eager to please, some of the elders might be willing to lend him stuff if he does a few chores for them around the forest or camp. It's not like there was a time limit or anything, though Gren does hope to do some hunting before the day's end.
