((Lol, stereotypical much XD))
"A . are you sure? It's not like I'm about to die or anything . ." she trailed off, unsure of what else to say.

"Water is ready!" Gruff yelled, he began taking the pot off the rack and put it in a hole he made while waiting for the water to boil. Gruff cupped some lake water in his talons and filled the hole so the water in the bucket could let out some heat.
Gruff said to the others, " I'll work on a few wood carvings tomorrow, we will need something to trade with at the end of the month."

"Well thanks!" she smiled, taking the hunk.
Nibbling the end, as to not just gulp it down like she did earlier, Misty studied the position of the sun before declaring:
"It's in the early hours of the afternoon, should we all make a team effort to make a barrier or some of us put up tents and make shelters?" she asked.
Posted 17 February 2014 - 10:24 PM
"I don't think we'll need one tonight. We have tents. We should be okay for now." Bolter said simply.

Posted 18 February 2014 - 09:48 AM
"In that case then-"
Misty walked straight up to the wagon, pulled out the tents, and, with slight difficulty, brought them over, wings flapping to ease the strain.
"We'd better get setting up early, before we're all knackered out for the day." she said, dropping the pile of cloth and poles with a clatter.
"Now to figure out how to put up the darn things, I've never been good with tents . ."

Misty took one and started to copy what Orion did.
It was simpler than she thought.

Bolter stayed nearby the campfire, still staring into the forest. He longed to go there, to hunt something again, to once again feel the rush of a clean kill. However, he promised himself that until he got a bow or some more bullets, he would limit himself to hunting what the group needed for that day. He examined his rifle, looking at the barrel. There was a slot for a bayonet for him to fit in, but the griffons who sent him were apparently to stingy to supply him with one. He planned on perhaps making one out of flint, and then getting a blacksmith to make him one, if one were to show up at their small settlement. His first priority was to find a bow, which he was much more proficient in, and it was something that he could make ammunition for, even if it meant fletching arrows with his own feathers.
He pondered where they would get material for the bowstring, and toyed with the idea that perhaps they would come across a cave of giant spiders, and after conquering it, they would use the string they found there to make a fine bow. However, remembering that they had only a few weapons, some of which probably weren't fit to kill a lowly bandit, he dashed that notion. Maybe soon a merchant would come, and maybe he could get a bow there, or maybe he could steal one from any robber foolish enough to attack him. Maybe.. maybe.
"It's gonna get dark soon. I'll keep watch for the night." He said aloud, itching the back of his head absentmindedly.

"Where are we going to find animals? It;s not like there's cow wandering in the forest . ." Misty said, setting up the last tent.
"That's all of them, should we unpack our stuff into the tents?" she asked, walking over to the tent nearest the woods.
Posted 24 February 2014 - 10:27 PM
"I suppose we could. I've only got my rifle at the moment, so I won't be needing a tent right now." He said, looking off into the woods. A few cold winds started to blow, making the flames of the campfire go this way and that. The fire wasn't exactly large, so only a small area was illuminated by it, and the warmth it gave off did not go very far either.
"I'll throw some more wood onto the fire as the night goes on. Just rest tight. If I see anything, I'll warn you all." He said solemnly, keeping a claw on his gun.

"Not a bad idea, Orion. I could try and chase some animal here, and we could chase it towards the hole. Does that sound like a good idea?" Bolter asked, getting up, popping a few stiff joints as he went to grab another claw-full o wood for the fire.
"What kind of animal would you want us to get?" He asked, picking up some good-sized sticks.
Posted 25 February 2014 - 01:08 AM
Gruff woke from a long sleep, he has a knack for sleeping alot. "What did I miss?" Gruff asked the group as he flew over to another tree, about the same medium size as yesterday. He began chopping, but noticed it was taking a little longer that yesterday to chop, He was going to need a way to sharpen this thing withing the next few weeks.

"I don't think the hole trick would work with wolves, maybe just try to befriend it with, like, meat tied to a string or vine or something, and drag the meat towards camp. Hopefully, it would just lure one wolf, not the whole pack, because that would be bad." she said, still thinking of more ways to lure wolves.
Misty had always loved wolves, and listening to them howl on a night-time while searching for herbs.
She'd always found them so . . majestic.

"Mmm, yeah. Didn't think of that." she said, sighing.
Posted 27 February 2014 - 01:11 AM
Posted 27 February 2014 - 07:43 AM
"Maybe we could capture a squirrel somehow . ." she said, laughing.
"It'd be real hard though."
Posted 27 February 2014 - 10:55 AM
"We can worry about food and trapping in the morning. For now, you all just try to get some rest. We've got a busy day tomorrow, no need to be tired." Bolter said, never turning from where he was sitting. In fact, he almost appeared still.
Posted 27 February 2014 - 04:08 PM
"You sure? Well, ok, I won't object to more sleep." she said, giggling.
Walking back over the the tent she'd put her stuff in, she got inside and stretched out on the inside.

((As long as there are no objections, is everyone ok for a timeskip?))
Posted 28 February 2014 - 10:09 PM
((Good for me
))
After a few moments, Misty fell fast asleep.
Posted 28 February 2014 - 11:46 PM
((I'm good with that.))
Orion finally fell asleep after a while. He twitched slightly every now and then.

Night Summary:
Day 2...
Dawn is slowly approaching the cold shores of Grypheria. It is slightly colder than yesterday. As promised, Bolter put some more logs onto the fire, but it is beginning to die.

Misty woke slowly, and judging by the low amount of light seeping through the canvas of the tent, it was early morning.
She carefully got up, feeling slightly queasy.
Heh . . Not too bad this morning, might as well go outside.
She unzipped the tent, and stepped outside-
To suddenly throw up straight onto the roots of a tree.
Posted 01 March 2014 - 07:28 PM
Bolter was awoken by the sounds of retching. He quickly grabbed his weapon out of instinct, but he relaxed when he realized that it probably wasn't an enemy. He left his tent, and upon looking in the direction of where the sound came from, he found Misty, getting sick on the roots of a tree.
"Are you alright?" He asked, then mentally wishing he didn't ask such a dumb question.
Posted 01 March 2014 - 09:01 PM
Posted 01 March 2014 - 09:09 PM
"I can try. Best I'll be able to get with my energy is a rabbit or two." He went back to his tent, grabbing his musket.
"Just remember, I only have so many bullets." He said before pulling up his hood and flying off into the forest. He was annoyed that he'd have to wait for sleep, but at least he was able to go and hunt again.
Posted 02 March 2014 - 09:48 AM
"N-no guys, I'm ok. Just leave me be for- *Gags* the morning . . I'll go further into the forest so I don't disturb you . ." she said, moving slowly deeper into the forest.
Posted 02 March 2014 - 04:53 PM
Posted 02 March 2014 - 08:07 PM
(Ok then. Day tally - 16
))
"Mmhmm. Okay."
Misty sat down on a particularly big tree root, already knowing that that wasn't the end of it.
Not moving, she waited for the next round of sickness.
Which came in about two minutes.
Posted 02 March 2014 - 09:10 PM
((*Sings* Ooh, I'm a crazy person! Crazy, crazy person!))
"Do you want me to get you something?" Faith asked. "I could go back and get you a little food." She said.
Orion threw the stick again. He sat down and threw.
Posted 02 March 2014 - 09:54 PM
Bolter trekked through the forest, hunting for some rabbits for breakfast. He took an alternate route than he did last time, because he was sure that any animals hidden where he was shooting were no doubt scared off by the sound of the gun. After a while, he came across some low grass in a clearing, and a few rabbits hopping around, looking for food of their own.
Bolter slowly loaded his musket, keeping an eye on where they were moving. He brought it up slowly, and once one had stopped to nibble on some grass for a few seconds, keeping their head nearly still, he fired.
He had hit the rabbit he was aiming at, causing all but one of the others to scamper off into their holes. The one that didn't had it's leg hit by the shot. Bolter had gotten out of hiding, placing his rifle around his back. He slowly walked to the injured rabbit, examining it. It wasn't going to be able to scamper away any time soon. He got down on one leg, grabbing the injured rabbit by the head..
"I'm so sorry..."
He finished the job. He hated having to be cruel to it, but such is the life of a hunter, he thought. He picked up the two rabbits and started to walk back to camp. He knew that wasn't nearly enough for the day, considering that they only had enough venison for one more meal, breakfast, but he was hoping to help Misty recover from her morning sickness with a little food, and some fresh rabbit never hurt anyone.
Posted 03 March 2014 - 01:28 AM
Gruff woke up after going to sleep early, he headed back over to his table and got back to carving.
Posted 03 March 2014 - 07:41 AM
"N-no, it's ok, really. I . . I think it might over now . . maybe." she said, still unsure.
It felt as if it had passed, but Misty still felt a bit queasy.
"L-lets go back to camp, I'm sure it will have gone at noon. Nearly always does, but there always a first . ."
Posted 04 March 2014 - 06:05 AM
Posted 05 March 2014 - 07:17 PM
"N-nah, I'm ok." she answered, shakily getting up.
"Lead the way, I forgot where we came from . ." Misty giggled.
Posted 05 March 2014 - 08:59 PM
Posted 06 March 2014 - 04:35 PM
Misty followed, questioning the silence that came.
Posted 06 March 2014 - 10:33 PM
Bolter returned eventually, carrying the two rabbits in his free claw.
"It isn't much, but it'll help you get better from earlier." He said. He examined the campfire, hoping that maybe he could clean and cook the rabbits soon. Not only did he want to help Misty, but he was hungry for a bit of rabbit for himself.
Posted 07 March 2014 - 06:00 AM
Faith hummed a tune from home quietly but loud enough for anyone near her to hear. ((Misty should hear from them being quiet, I'm too lazy to do any conversions from inches to centimeters.)) 'Do I have to do any carving today that I know of other than the bone?' She thought.
Posted 07 March 2014 - 05:21 PM
"W-what's that tune?" she asked, quietly.
Posted 07 March 2014 - 11:03 PM
The campfire didn't look like it needed much to get going again, so Bolter gathered up a few large sticks, setting them on the fire and blowing on it to make it catch the flame.
"If you want rabbit for breakfast, talk to me." He said aloud, gathering the materials to get a spit-roast going.
Posted 07 March 2014 - 11:41 PM
Posted 08 March 2014 - 12:17 PM
"Oh . . It sounds really pretty." Misty said.
Posted 08 March 2014 - 02:39 PM
Bolter had gotten a spit together, and was now cleaning the rabbits he had just killed. He pondered what they ought to do with the pelts, but the rabbits had such little fur that it was almost irrelevant. The smell of fresh meat spread throughout the camp, signalling that breakfast would be ready soon.
Posted 08 March 2014 - 04:49 PM
Posted 11 March 2014 - 04:05 PM
((Noo don't diee!))
Eventually, the two of them returned.
Misty looked around, seeing Bolter and the spit. The queasy feeling had passed, leaving her feeling empty and hungry.
She walked up, and said:
"Hi. We're back."
Posted 11 March 2014 - 10:27 PM
"I hope you're in the mood for rabbit. I found a pair of them out in the forest. It costed me a bullet, though. We're down to seventeen, total." Bolter said, slowly turning the rabbit meat on the spit as he absentmindedly tossed a couple larger twigs into the fire to keep it hot.
"How do you feel?" He asked, taking in a whiff of the cooking meat.
Posted 11 March 2014 - 11:36 PM
Posted 11 March 2014 - 11:59 PM
"No string, yet. I'll get you some stuff to make some if I find any in the wilderness." He commented, slowly turning the rabbit meat as it finished cooking.
Posted 12 March 2014 - 07:05 AM
"Better than earlier, anyway." Misty said, giggling.
She finally caught the smell of cooking meat and it smelled so good.
"Perhaps we could find some spiderwebs, I used to know some other griffons that could make a pretty decent string out of a web or two, I could try to replicate it, if you want." she offered.
Posted 19 March 2014 - 10:17 PM
Posted 20 March 2014 - 07:40 AM
"Mmhmm."
Listening to the far-off tweeting of birds, Misty rubbed her eyes, and appreciated the morning for the first time.
