I have Rapid Strikes."[/color][/quote] [quote=Akeno, Again][color=red]“Akeno. My skill is just… karate. I get some bonus stuff when I’m using it.”[/color][/quote] Curious choices, but also perhaps a bit telling of what they had been before all of this as well. Some of those options hadn't been among the ones she'd been presented with by the spirits herself, at least, so that seemed to indicate something of a potential influence toward what list they'd all been given to choose something from in the end. Certainly something to mull over if she got bored enough in the future, but right now they were in the middle of getting a bite to eat before heading off to do more. Lazash thought over it as she kept an eye on the cooking Elwet meat around the fire. In the meantime, she would head to where Esfir had cleaned up her own Elwet, picking up any of the removed scales or such to wipe off and chew on as they waited. She then went to quickly grab her stick again, and then back to her spot by the fire to keep an eye on the food as she sharpened said stick with her wiped-off stone and started to chew a few of the picked-up scales in the meantime. Made for something to do to keep herself busy, at least, and it apparently was gaining her ingestion progress to boot. Perhaps they could find those creatures the Head Warrior had told her about, or at least get ahold of a Slime along the way to see if- [quote=Also Esfir][b]"You. What did you learn from the Head Warrior?”[/b][/quote] Mmm. Seems she could answer more than one question right now then. Fair enough. She would keep sharpening her stick and chewing on scales in the meantime, since it was smoething to do to pass the time. It all was 'tedious' to cook indeed, based on the information her skill had given her about them. The smell wasn't very good either, but when in the wild food was also food. So long as it was edible and fueled their bodies with nutrition and calories it was good enough in her eyes. [color=silver]"I'm Lazash, and I chose a skill that allows me to get information of some sort on the living things of this world: Creature Analysis. For example, the stones in these creatures' gizzards are like dense coals or flint. Probably are good for helping start fires in the future in that sense. Their livers are also extremely high in iron to boot, and their feathers and outer skin are esistant to heat and flame."[/color] [quote=SYSTEM: Lazash]Damaged Elwet has been partially dismantled (Head)!

Usable Items Acquired: Elwet Feathers x4 Elwet Beak x1 Elwet Antlers x4 Elwet Talons x3 Cracked Gizzard Sparkstone x1 Gizzard Sparkstone x1 Elwet Meat, 15 lbs (24 lbs w/ bones, blood, organs, etc)[/quote] Good. She had acquired some useful supplies indeed, if the information on the 'Sparkstones' were of any indication. Not that the cracked one would be of much use, so she'd have to try it out first with an air of caution...just in case. Meanwhile she'd find some vine or plant fibers to strap the Antlers, Talons, Beak, and so forth to herself to carry them more easily when they'd eventually move on. Keep it simple in that respect. Of course they'd be eating the meat though, and on that note she'd try to get the best-looking Elswet liver of the three to try to get roasting over the fire before it was too late. If no one else wanted it, she'd certianly try a few bites of it to see if it was palatable once it was done. Better to learn these things for the near future rather than sit around piddling about otherwise. [quote=SYSTEM: Lazash]Consumed: Elwet Blood Consumed: Crackling Elwet Skin Consumed: Elwet Scales Current Ingestion: Elwet - 20% Ingested Skill(s): Elwet - Further Progress Required. You've discovered compatible Skill(s)! Elwet: [list] [*][Skewer] [*][???] [*][???] [/list] Ingest Skill? OR Continue Biomass Accumulation?[/quote] [b]Continue Biomass Accumulation[/b]. She felt it was the obvious choice in this instance, rather than simply jumping up on the first skill to pop in front of her. [Skewer] felt spear-oritented, or perhaps it would cause her to develop horns to charge enemies with or something. Hmm. She wanted to see what else popped up, especially after seeing how much biomass it took to consume to see the other compatible skills in this case. Plus she wanted to make sure the additional scales she was chewing on now, and the bones she'd also be trying to suck marrow from when they finally got to eat the meat and flesh of the cooking Elwets, would all be of greater use to her as well. Her eyes cast their gaze back over at where Esfir was, however, as she continued speaking. [color=silver]"As for what the Head Warrior told me, he pointed me in the direction of some nocturnal creatures that would be sleeping during the day. He gave me the direction where cave-dwelling creatures called Camazots make their nests, and said that there are Nooki that make their dens down here in the woods as well. He also implied that there's a reason they only skulk about 'for a reason' and seemed to get a kick out of it. So likely there's some larger daytime predators going around these parts that we need to be careful about as well."[/color] [quote=Grunthor][color=red]"Does anyone know how to make stuff? We could use a bit more...armor I guess, than these rags we have."[/color][/quote] Lazash's head came up as she looked over at where Grunthor was standing, seemingly having been practicing a bit on the tree in front of him. Hmm. He really was the fighter-type he sounded like to her. Also a good question to boot. [quote=Akeno][color=red]“I can’t make anything; all I can do is fight and cook a little bit. Pretty sure we’d need better materials to make armour though; leather or metal. Might be able to make a shield out of wood though.”[/color][/quote] [color=silver]"As for myself, I can make some basic things for survival. As for making shelter or structures or constructions? Even better at that on my end, I'd want to say, given the right materials. Probably have some who can make things like armor back in camp as well, once we finally get the Head Warrior's quest completed. But with how fire-resistant the outer skin and feathers of these Elswets are, it seems, that might be something to keep in mind for later."[/color] [@Zeroth][@Kazemitsu][@ERode][@King Cosmos] [hider=Current Skills/Equipment/Inventory] [b]Current Skills:[/b] [list] [*]Ingestion - After consuming a required amount of biomass from a particular Creature, 1 of that Creature's Skills can be copied at its lowest Rank.
