Five more of these for craftswork from Bowbh? Esfir recalled the pots she had seen. Useful, useful things they were. It was clear that she didn’t have enough at the moment, but that just meant she’d need to visit those caves once more. It was too late into the afternoon now to venture out, not after the warning given to her by an Orc Brute, but it gave her another short-term goal. [b]“A fair deal. I’ll take one of those smaller axes then, for the meat. Expect me tomorrow, Bowbh, with the ores.”[/b] The axe was a puny thing, but would fit her current size well enough. A knife may work better immediately, but the heft of an axe leant it to more uses later on. She waved her goodbyes to the craftsorc, before returning to the firepit, taking a circuitous route in hopes of spying a river or another source of water on the way back. Regardless of if she did or didn’t, Esfir would pick out a large, flat rock from the outcroppings that the camp was built upon, using that as a rudimentary table as she worked by the fireside. With her stomach already filled, she put her attention first upon constructing the arm guards she had initially planned on building. Laying out the Elwet Antlers that she had, Esfir measured them alongside the length of her forearms, before cutting them to size as necessary with her newly-obtained hand-axe. The stone she had picked out was used to grind down the sharpest edges that remained, before she took out one of her Jackalope Points next. Using it as a substitute for a drill, she struck it into the Antlers using the back of her axe, intent on punching holes in them so strips of hide could be threaded through them afterwards. She blew the dust of from those holes, checking once more for fit, before Esfir moved on to measuring the length of the skin strips she had. If there was a surplus, she would twine the Harpy Skin Strips with the Tatzelwurm Hide Strips to reinforce the strength of the bindings. If there wasn’t, then she would simply have to deal with it. One would hope that the final product was good, but even if it wasn’t, Esfir would be satisfied so long as the product could save her arm once or twice from a prey’s Slash. [hider=Skills][list] [*][b]Ingestion[/b] - [i]After consuming a required amount of biomass from a particular Creature, 1 of that Creature's Skills can be copied at its lowest Rank.[/i] [*][b]Frost Arc[/b] - Rank I - [i]An expanding spray of icy cold, over 10 feet in one direction and 5 feet wide at its furthest edge. The cold is more intense the closer the target is to the origin, reaching its lowest temperature within a span of about 2 feet. It constantly expends Magic Power the longer the cone is maintained.[/i] [*][b]Murderous Intent[/b] - Rank II - [i]Focus hatred and the desire to kill through the subtle senses. A creature that is weaker than you must exert its willpower or be Intimidated (Intimidated creatures suffer reduced speed). A creature that is already Intimidated, Shocked, or Unaware may instead become Fearful and be unable to act for 5 seconds. Creatures that are stronger than you can only be Intimidated by this Skill if they are already Shocked or Unaware, but their willpower threshold is higher. [b]At Rank II[/b], creatures weaker than you will be made Fearful instead of Intimidated. If they are already Intimidated, Shocked, or Unaware, the effect of Fearful will be extended to 10 seconds. Creatures that are equal to you will suffer Rank I effects.[/i] [*]Empty Skill Slot[/list][/hider] [hider=Equipment and Inventory][list] [*][b]Swaddling Pelts[/b] - Equip, Clothes - [i]Old animal skins used to keep an Orc baby warm as they sleep.
