Grunthor watched the bird as the fire took it. The smells weren't pleasant, he wasn't expecting it to. The feathers took a while to catch fire, merely smoldering and falling out. The scales puffed up like a pinecone and clinked before popping off with ease. What he could salvage he did, and a message appeared making him blink. [color=red]"Fire hardened scales and feathers?"[/color] He questioned aloud. Picking up the good scales he ran a finger along the edge to see if they were sharp or not. He didn't apply to much pressure, no need to wound himself. Putting it back in the pile he watched the bird, poking it and shifting it as it cooked. After a bit more waiting he began to eat it. It didn't taste good, it was very gamey, and that chewiness meant it was undercooked. Which was dangerous on Earth. This world probably didn't have salmonella, and orcs were probably robust enough to not get really sick from eating things. Speaking of, he was capable of eating the whole damn thing. Minus the actual bones of the bird. The system popped up telling him he got a buff from being well fed, but due to the bird being undercooked a random chance of the pepto bismol commercial. [color=red]"Eating over one hundred percent doesn't net anything extra. I'm going to have a random chance of sickness, or I might magically discharge, which is explosive....do I even have magic?[/color] He stated as he thought about the skills. He didn't really like the options...but [b]Murderous Intent[/b] would fit best. It might cause enemies to freeze up to let him land extra free hits. The others were talking, and Esfir mentioned caves to fight some of Camazots. Sure, his scalp was scabbed over, his knuckles were a bit sore but he wouldn't be punching much yet. This body didn't have the oomph for it. Looking down he thought for a moment before taking off his loincloth to use the cloth as a small bag for his fire hardened stuff. His body was too young to warrant worrying about nudity, but he was modest enough to turn so the others only saw his green cheeks. He was clearly ready to get going to the cave.
