Plot: East of Equestria, there lies a mysterious continent where Griffons live, known as Grypheria. While not much is known about it, it is said to be a very cold, uncharted wilderness, with sparse towns dotting the landscape. Life here has proven very difficult for ponies, due to the extreme cold and resulting difficulty of growing crops. If you cannot hunt or fish, you’ll most certainly die. Being avid hunters and fishermen, Griffons have found it much easier to survive here than other ponies.

With the relationship between Ponies and Griffons now stable, Ponies have begun shipping animal feed to Grypheria, allowing Griffons to make much more permanent settlements. That’s where you come in.

You and a few volunteers are being sent to the western coast of Grypheria in order to establish a new colony. You will begin with nothing but a small wagon of provisions and tools, along with a small amount of building materials for shelter. Your first provisions will eventually run out, but you can acquire more in the wilderness. Whether you find it by arrow, claw, or hook, or trade is your choice.

With work will come prosperity, because in about a month you are expecting a trade ship from Equestria to come to your settlement with supplies and animal feed for trade, as well as wagon from the east with more colonists. You will receive these visits about every month.

Will you build a thriving settlement, a prosperous example for all other empires to applaud? Or will you simply perish in the wilderness, brought down by a bandit siege or starvation?

The choice is yours.

RULES:
1.     No godmodding
2.     No meta gaming. If your character is a miner, they’re not going to be an expert huntsman.
3.     GRIFFONS ONLY. NO EXCEPTIONS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
4.     To join in the RP, post a filled out application in the app and ooc thread and wait for me to accept your character. (IMPORTANT NOTE: I have the final say as to whether or not your character is accepted. If they’re not, don’t fret! Chances are there’s something wrong with your backstory or whatever, and I’ll be sure to tell you. Once you’ve edited it, you’ll probably be accepted!
5.     No canon characters. There’s only, like, two griffons anyway.
6.     Any romance needs to be on a strictly SFW level.
7.     Swearing is ok, just don’t go overboard.
PROFESSIONS:
Professions are skills that your character excels in. Be sure to not use one profession that everyone else is using, or else your settlement will fall apart fast. Look for a not-so-common profession to use so that there’s some versatility in your group!

Miner:

You are most at home with a pick and an ore-filled cave to use it in. You are the best for finding precious minerals and jewels.
Woodworker:

Your best skills lie in the axe and saw. You are excellent in felling trees and then shaping them into required components such as wooden planks and tool handles. You are also proficient in crafting bows and crossbows.

Stoneworker:
You are able to refine stone into many useful products, such as tools, blades, stone bricks, and even furniture. While you can be useful to a starting colony for replacement tools, you are also useful later for engravings, which are valuable pieces of art used for trade or decoration.

Huntsman:
Spear, bow, or even claws are your weapons of choice. Squirrels, Deer, and other wild game are your favorite targets. Your skills lie in hunting down game and cleaning it so your group can be fed. You also posses the ability to tan hides to be used in clothing or tents.

Doctor:
An important profession for any settlement, a doctor’s strength lies not in their combat capabilities or their craftsmanship, but their healing abilities. They can treat anything from a day-long cold to a broken wing, given the right materials and know-how.

Herbalist:
While not much foliage grows on Grypheria, there are still some useful herbs that can be used. As an herbalist, you can pick out powerful healing plants from useless weeds or poisonous plants, as well as create powerful concoctions from them.

Brewer:
You have the ability to craft many different kinds of alcoholic drinks, bringing cheer to your fellow colonists. Also, as a last resort, you are able to create firebombs using any drink with high alcohol content.

Farmer:
Unlike conventional Equestrian farmers, you do not grow fields of crops, it would be impossible to grow anything substantial in the cold Grypherian climate. Instead, you put all of your skill into caring for livestock, including feeding them, milking them, butchering them, and everything in between. You can create hay from dried grass or other dried plant products.

Fisherman:
You are most at home by a river with a rod or spear. You have the ability to catch and clean fish to be eaten. You can also make or find bait much easier than others.

Blacksmith:
When tools break down or hostile entities come to attack, the blacksmith is your man. Using metals, the blacksmith has the ability to create armor, tools, weapons, and other products, as long as he has a furnace and sufficient fuel.

Jeweler:
You have the ability to create beautiful jewelry from gems and other items found underground by miners. You can not only create valuable items with gems, but you can also sense the magical value in some…

Craftsman:
Anything from bone-carving, clothing, glass, pottery, wax, to thread or anything in between is in your forte. A Craftsman is necessary for a settlement to grow from a group of tents living by the mountains into a city.

Engineer:
Modern technology is where your knowledge lies. Flintlocks, gears, steam engines, and even siege weapons are all items you can create with the proper items. You can also create complex lever-systems and traps to defend your colony.

Soldier:
You have dedicated your life to defending law and your fellow griffons from harm. You are best when covered head to talon in armor, with a sword and shield in your claws. You are also proficient with Bows, Crossbows, and Rifles.

STARTING ITEMS
Along with your starting provisions, you may bring a certain item or items with you. You may pick one from the following list:
*A Copper Pickax
*A Copper Axe
*5 Kegs of beer (each keg is enough for 5 Griffons)
*10 bags of animal feed
*5 balls of thread
*3 Tin buckets
*1 roll of cloth
*1 Cow, Pig, or Chicken.
*1 Dog or Cat
*5 Units of meat
*5 Units of Water
*Flintlock Rifle & 20 Bullets
*Forge

*Fishing Rod

*Hunting Knife

When the game begins, your wagon will contain one tent for each Griffon, along with 3 units of food and water for each Griffon, which will keep you fed and hydrated for 3 days.

REQUIREMENTS:
Every day, your character required 1 unit of food and 1 unit of water, along with rest. If you do not eat or drink, your character will suffer less success during rolls. (-1 for each day not fed, -2 for each day not hydrated, -3 for each day not fed or hydrated) After the third day of starvation or dehydration, you’ll die. In order to meet these requirements, you’ll need to hunt, fish, support livestock with feed, and of course, make sure any water you get is clean. Sickness and injury may increase or add to these needs.

Just be realistic about eating and drinking, alright?



RELATIONSHIPS AND CHILDREN
As previously stated, all relationships are to be on SFW levels. However, it is possible to have an adorable griffonling of your own. To do so, have you and the owner of your character's partner PM me, agreeing that you both want to have a child. As long as you guys have been in a relationship for a while and I deem it acceptable, you'll be accepted. The mother will have her child in 35 in game days (That's a long time!) During this time, the mother will need more food and water, and will not be able to perform very taxing jobs, such as hunting or woodwork.

Once you have the child, you can choose to either have it under either parent's control (talk about it among yourselves in PM or the OOC thread) or have a player who wanted to join the game control it. The child will have to live for 50 in game days before it is able to work and take a job (NOTE: This isn't supposed to be realistic representation of Griffon life stages. This is purely for the purpose of the RP.)

Remember, if you're that desperate for company, a new wagon of colonist arrives every month.

CHARACTER APPLICATION:

Species: [GRIFFON]
Gender:
Relative Age: (You don’t have to say a number if you don’t want. “Young Adult” or “Elder” works just fine.)

CHARACTER LIST:
1. Bolter (scifidude47) (Huntsman)
2. Orion (petmarket24) (Farmer)
3. Faith (petmarket24) (Craftsman)
4. Gruff (adambigaxe1) (Wood Worker)
5. Vol Cassidy (Blazer Dos.0)
6. Misty Breeze (DaBethster)

 

((ANY POSTS BELOW THE DOTTED LINE ARE IN THE RP. LET'S GET THIS STARTED :D))

 

It was a windy afternoon in Grypheria. A wagon was travelling, carrying four Griffons, one a hunter, one a farmer, one a craftsman, and another a woodworker. They carried their tools close to themselves, not talking much since they had embarked for the coast. The road was bumpy, causing the ride to be rather uncomfortable, as well as causing the meager provisions they had been given to bump around, making the trip long, without rest, and noisy.

 

It was mid-morning when they had finally reached their destination. The sound of the ocean hitting the coast could be heard, as well as the rustling of the pine trees in the wind not too far away. There was a rocky mountain down the shoreline, covered in a dusting of snow.

 

"Alright, this is where we head off. We'll be back with a new wagon of colonists in a month, if you're still here. Good luck." Said the wagon-puller, before he detached himself from the wagon and flew back in the directiion they came, leaving the new settlers completely alone in this untamed section of wilderness...

 

Bolter had stepped down from the wagon, carrying his flintlock musket in one claw and a bag containing twenty bullets in a pocket on the side of his hood. He was quiet, and being one of the first to exit the wagon, he wanted to take in the surroundings, and he then wanted to take some time to look for some game to hunt. They only had enough food for three days, so he knew he was going to be busy for the next few days if he wanted to stay alive here, as well as support the others.

 

"You guys coming out? It's a beautiful day." He said with a low voice before going back to examining the coast and wilderness around the wagon.

Orion groaned. He got out and beat his wings lightly. His dog was by his side, looking around. "Go ahead Butch, explore just don't go too far." Orion commanded. The dog barked and went around, sniffing. 'So this is where we will be staying and probably dying.' He thought.

Faith got out after Orion and stretched. She got out her things and saw Orion. "Hey Orion! How are you?" She asked. "Good. How about you?" Orion asked. "Good. So this is where we are staying?" Faith asked. "Yeah." He replied.

Gruff unpacked a cheap axe he bought on the market, he bought the cheap thing at the market, he didn't want to lose his father's axe back home, considering it was important to his family. He stretched his wings and immediately started for a spruce tree, he began chopping at the top portion, yelling out "TIMBER!" as he cut off each segment. Gruff wasn't really interested in chat at the moment, considering having wood at this stage is so important.

Orion put his claws on Faith if the tree were to fall on them. "I'm alright, Orion. No need to protect me." She said and kissed him on the cheek. "Instinct." He replied and let go.

Gruff took the wood from the tree he just chopped and roughly carved it into a table. If he was going to make wood rods or planks, he needed somewhere relatively flat to do it. He asked around if anyone wanted a weapon for the long run, ammo weapons will most likely run out eventually.

Vol examined the area around where the wagon had stopped. It was certainly practical, there was some caves she could see from their position, a large forest, a lake that was only partially frozen, and some ore. She didn't have much knowledge on how to retrieve those objects, but she felt she'd be the one doing most of the machine making.

That was the way she liked it though.

She walked to the woodsman "you said something about a weapon? I'd be glad to have one, please"

Whiskey rose had only just woken up. She'd gone on her generic routine of eat sleep get stroked and eat more, but was now taking a look around. It didn't have many places to climb, but Vol would change that. For now, she hopped back on the cart. It had the most shelter after all.

"No thanks. I'm fine without one." Faith said. "I'll take something, preferably something simple." Orion said. Faith went over to Gruff. "Could we work together, I specialize in carving and glass." She said to Gruff.

Orion sighed and looked around. 'I wonder if there are any animals around here. I doubt it but I could be wrong.' He thought.

"Um sure,uh I'll need some help shaving away a few poles from this quarter of the trunk" Gruff said in a slightly quiet and awkward tone. He started shaving away a block of wood with a sharp rock he found in a near by pile. After about 15 minutes he had a wooden dagger ready and handed it off to Orion. He then started chopping the edges off a piece of wood which he planned to turn into a spear over the next hour or two.

Faith did as told. "So, how long have you done this? By the way, I never caught your name, I'm Faith." She said to Gruff as she worked on the wood.

Orion looked at the dagger and kept it near him. His dog came near and Orion pet his dog.

(adambigaxe, I have to say, you're going awfully fast... try to be a bit more detailed in your posts, and try not to do such large time skips, it kinda hinders us other players, who'd rather take some time to work out our characters and the world around them... time shouldn't advance that fast in one post, just saying...)

 

Bolter was upon a large rock, examining the woods. There were a few trodden-down areas of snow, covered in deer tracks. He smiled at the prospect of a delicious deer steak, talking about the future as he and the others sat by a roaring fire, talking the night away before falling to sleep under the stars, eager to hunt the next day. 

 

He shook his head, as if to clear out such silly thoughts. They had just gotten here. Now was not the time to think of parties and indulgence. They only had enough rations for a few days, and he only had twenty bullets, so he'd have to make them count before he got his talons on a bow.

 

"Hey." He called out. "You guys want me to go look for some deer? I see some tracks, they shouldn't be far, and I'm sure some fresh venison will taste a lot better then preserved rations." He said, pointing his rifle, which was held with one talon, in the direction of the forest where he planned to hunt.

"Sure. I have some beer for a drink." Faith said as she continued carving. Orion nodded in agreement. "You can take my dog with you to help." He said to Bolter. Butch barked and wagged his tail.

((ok, cut down the time for the dagger from an hour to 15 minutes so it isn't that much of a time jump, this is the first rp i've done in a while, I joined this one because it caught my eye))

"My name is Gruff, I've been cutting wood since I was young and started carving when I was even younger. My father taught me everything I know. How did you learn to work with wood yourself, Faith?" Gruff kept hacking at the wood, taking care not to chop too fast as to otherwise snap the wood, he was a quarter ways done cutting at the first corner.

"I learned by watching others. After that I worked on carving in my free time." Faith said. She hummed a tune from home.

Orion looked around. He went up to Bolter. "Or you could lure the deer over here and I could care for them then kill them once they started to multiply." Orion said to him.

"I can track just fine, but as long as the dog is quiet, he can come too. Also, If any of you know how to make a bow, it'd be appreciated." He said, loading his rifle. He took a cartridge from his bag, taking the ramrod from the end of the barrel and using to press the cartridge into the musket. He then placed a percussion cap underneath the hammer, cocking it. He aimed down the barrel, and seeing that it was straight enough, he considered himself ready to hunt. He smiled at the prospect of what would be his first successful kill in this new land.

Butch hid at the sound of the gun loading. Orion looked back. "I guess he's afraid of the gun. Maybe next time." He said. "If I get some string, a bow is all yours." Faith called as she looked at her carving so far. "Gruff, is this good enough?" She asked.

She looked at the woodsman. She decided to ask again "can I please have a weapon?"

Orion went and grabbed some twigs for a fire later. He looked around for any tracks but didn't see any.

Bolter sighed, looking back into the woods with longing eyes.

 

"Very well, I'll hunt alone. Hope you're all hungry for deer." He smiled, taking his rifle and ammunition into the forest. He moved lower to the ground, quietly, slowly, and skillfully. He had his musket strapped around his back, and it bobbed up and down as he moved. He moved further and further into the pine trees, turning into a small silhouette in the distance before disappearing from view, happily tracking his next meal.

"That's very nice, you're a natural at this!" Gruff said, in a fairly happy yet semi hushed tone. Gruff was nearly done carving the pole, he started to work the end into a point. Once Gruff finished off the pole he decided now would be a good time to get a fire going, considering it was nearly mid-day and they would need something to cook the meat on when that hunter came back, Gruff then realizing he still hadn't asked the hunter's name.

"Once we have enough poles for tents we can stop. I hope that hunter is bringing the body back, we will need the skin for a blanket" He got some rocks and formed a circle, he dug a hole for the various scraps of wood and looked for a rock that would spark against his axe.

Bolter had now traveled several yards into the forest, to the point where he couldn't even hear the sounds of the others chatting. There was a stream nearby, flowing back towards the camp, with bits of ice traveling down it, half-melted. Across the stream, there was a stag, a light brown color, standing tall upon a small cliff. Bolter ducked down, hoping that it didn't see him. It seemed to be looking around, but not in a panic. He crawled across to a small area of shrubbery, breathing slowly and silently as he crept across the forest floor. The stag looked in the other direction for but a moment, and that's when Bolter took his chance.

 

He found a small opening in the shrubs, pointed his rifle through, and just as the stag looked back..

 

---

 

Back in the camp, the loud THOOM of a black-powder shot was heard, breaking the quiet sounds of nature.

 

---

 

Unfortunately, Bolter had missed his shot, hitting the tip of the rock that the stag was standing on. At the sound of the shot, it ran into the forest, deeper into the dark shade of the pine trees.

 

'So the hunt is on...' Bolter smiled, loading his musket quickly. He opened his wings, leaped forward, and took flight, in hot pursuit of the stag that costed him one of his precious cartridges.

Butch ran around in panic. Faith came near him and pet him. "It's alright, nothing to be scared of." She coed. The dog started to calm down.

Orion ran back when the shot was audible to him. "Is everyone alright?" He asked. Faith nodded and Orion started petting his dog. Faith went back to her carving.

Startled, Misty woke up from her drowsy sleep, and noted it was almost midday. A group of other griffons were stood around talking, looking startled by the looks on their faces.

Taking care, Misty got up from the wagon, jumped down, and started walking over to the group.

"Uh . . Hi. I just woke up . . What just happened?" she said, quietly.

Vol shook her head "aw fuck it"

She walked up to a nearby tree, examined the branches, and pulled out her trusty all in one tool.

She'd made it herself at her old village. It was great for carving, notching, and especially slicing.

She could use it as a weapon, but she was better with her talons.

She hacked off a straight-ish branch, and started slicing off rough bits, before finding a suitable piece of flint nearby and tying it together with some rope from the cart.

Whiskey rose had woken up to find Cassidy searching through the pouch she was sat on. It didnt really matter. Vol would end up making a pillow or something later.

Vol took the rope, and tied the nice flint to the stick. Her mother would either be really proud, or kind of embarrassed. Either thought was comforting. She would probably paint some patterns on herself later.

She walked past the woodsman. She kind of thought he was a bit of a dick, or perhaps hearing impaired... No, he responded to the other girl in the group.

She took off towards the sound of the gunshot. She wasnt actually a hunter, but every griffon had knowledge on the subject. And she'd had lots of lessons with spears as a kid.

She skulked along the treetops. Maybe that hunter would see her.

She walked up to a nearby tree, examined the branches, and pulled out her trusty all in one tool.

((Would've rather have you ask me about this first, but whatever.))

Vol was able to see a stag running through the trees, and then a glimpse of Bolter, flying with his musket in tow. He dodged in between different obstacles, like pines and rocks, until he came into a clearing. The stag stumbled on a rock, spraining its ankle and starting to limp. At this point, he landed back on the ground and folded his wings. He brought the rifle up, and took aim. 

 

After a second loud bang, the stag fell over, having had its heart pierced by the shot. Bolter smiled at his newest kill, but frowned at the fact that it cost him two cartridges that he wasn't getting back. He wrapped his musket around his back, going towards the corpse. He grabbed one leg and tried to start dragging it back, but he soon realized that it was a bit too heavy. He groaned, thinking that he'd have to head back to camp for help. He found a good-sized branch and drove it into the ground near the stag, so that when he returned, he would be able to find it with a certain level of ease. He started back for camp, but was still visible to Vol.

((adam, my character is asking yours for a weapon)

((derp, I still need to hand you the spear))

Gruff remembered the spear he just carved, he grabbed it and handed it over to Vol, "Sorry, Forgot to hand this over earlier, my memory is a little messed up sometimes" He went back to searching through rocks until he found an old, broken, flint arrowhead that worked perfectly. He grabbed the twigs and some wood scraps from his carving and set it ablaze after being startled from a gunshot, "Well the fires going, and I bet that hunter just got a kill" Gruff said as his stomach grumbled a little bit.

((I didn't realise it was one of those rps.))

Vol hopped down off a tree. She looked at the huntsman, who was looking a bit glum, while walking away. She looked at the stag. He was a big un! She started pulling. Wow, it was amazing that it had so much meat on it! Of course, this made it almost impossible to move.

She looked back at the hunter "hey dude, you won't need to head back, I'll help!" she called to him.

((Damn, you guys post fast!))

 

Startled, Misty jumped at the sound of the shot, wings already reflexively flaring up to protect her face.

Seeing everything was okay, and remembering there was a hunter in the woods, she turned to face Faith.

"I . . um . . I'm Misty . . nice to meet you."

Turning around to see the fire, she walked over to the other griffon standing there.

"Hi ... who are you? It's probably going to be a good idea to get to know my new . . well . . neighbours, I suppose." she reasoned.

Lowering herself down onto the ground in front of the fire, she was glad of the heat radiating off it.

Bolter turned around, smiling at the other griffon trying to help him.

 

"Thanks." He said simply, grabbing another leg and pulling. Their combined strength allowed them to pull the stag.

 

"This should be able to feed us all for tonight, maybe even tomorrow for breakfast. I'll just need a knife to clean it and a place to put the leftovers, unless we have a fisherman who could use it as bait.. I also need a bow- oh, jeez, sorry, where are my manners? Name's Bolter. What's yours?" He asked, using his free claw to clear any branches out of their way.

Hm. Name certainly matches his personalty. she thought to herself. Wonder if he's like this for everyone.

Watching him work for a bit, Misty watched the wood slowly taking shape into .  A bowl? A pot? Something of that nature.

"So uh . . Who else apart from Faith, Orion and you are here?" she asked, awkwardly.

Well that's good to know, at least we'll have some meat to eat, maybe some edible herbs, too, if I can find some . . . Misty's thoughts trailed off, thinking about food, as her slightly protruding stomach started growling.

Oh sweet Celestia, don't think about food . . 

 

Seeing it would probably be a good idea to leave the wood-worker alone to, well, woodwork, she walked back over to the other two.

"So what have you been doing all day?" she asked, as she watched the dog play.

"Getting things ready. I can't do much. I have no animals to tend to." Orion said as he found a stick and threw it. The dog chased it then brought it back and the cycle continued. "I've been carving." Faith said in a sing-song voice as she continued carving.

Stroking him on the head a couple of times, she was surprised at the way he sat there, almost expectantly.

Stepping back, she gestured for him to go play again.

"He's really cute . . I've never had a dog before, and the only pet I've ever come close to having was a robin that stuck around my back door in winter when I was a kid." she said.

"You had animals where you lived? Lucky . ." she trailed off, unsure of what to say next.

Her stomach grumbled again, louder this time, almost as if reminding her it would be a good idea to get food.

"I'm going to go look for some plants or berries or something, I'm starving, and I'm sure you guys probably are too . . " She reasoned, already heading towards the woods.

 

After finding only a couple of berries on the outskirts of the woods, she decided to venture deeper in.

Here, she found more berries, some assorted herbs, and stuffed them all into her bag.

 

However, she did stop when she came to a very dead-looking old apple tree.

Hm . . Perhaps I should take some of the bark, I can use that, dried, ground up in ointments . . 

Plus you can eat bark, coming to the crunch . . she thought, brain already at work.

 

With her bag almost full, Misty thought it would be a good idea to go back, but she wasn't ready for that yet.

So she kept walking.

 

After only about two minutes of trekking, she managed to bang into two other griffons, landing face-first into the ground, wincing as her stomach was crushed under her weight.

Slowly getting back up, Misty brushed herself off, and looked at the other two.

"Oh my . . I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to . . Are you ok? Wow, is that a whole stag you got? That means one of you is the hunter Orion was telling me about!" she babbled.

 

((Welp, night guys, I gotta go to bed :P))

Pulling the stag was hard, but not much so.

 

She took a few seconds to notice the speaking huntsman, but after that she did "Oh, sorry. I'm Vol Cassidy. I'm an engineer. I solve problems." She helped Bolter pull the stag some more. She stabbed her spear at the air "That gun of yours? Give me the right stuff, and I can fix it to reload 3 times as fast. Might make it a bit clunkier though"

Bolter smiled. A gun that reloaded that fast would be great for hunting... but he definitely preferred a bow.

 

"This thing? Yeah. It's mine. I bought it before we embarked here." Bolter said proudly. He then turned quickly when Misty approached, only to relax when he realized that it was just another colonist.

 

"Slow down, ma'm. I'm the huntsman you're looking for. I'd ask you to help us with our stag, here, but seeing as you're carrying something already, I'd suggest you not." He said, pointing to her swollen stomach as he continued dragging the stag with Vol.

 

"We're not that far, we should be back any minute now." He said. He was hoping someone there could make him a knife, or else he'd have to get his claws pretty messy, cleaning the deer.

"We'll see when we get there, I suppose." Bolter said to Vol as they approached the wagon-site.

 

When they finally made it back to the camp, it was a little after mid-day. Bolter was glad that there was a campfire going, since it meant that they were going to be eating fresh venison soon enough. 

 

"I hope you all are hungry for deer." He said, releasing its leg, showing off his kill.

Orion stepped aside with Faith by his side. The dog was sniffing the deer and went to take a bite. "Butch, come." Orion said before the dog could take a bite. "Bad dog." He scolded. Butch walked off near the fire. The dog kept himself warm over there. "I have to get back to work, Orion." Faith whispered. "Alright, love you." Orion said and kissed her. She walked off and went to her carving, humming her tune from home to keep a rhythm.

"Do you think you can make a knife out of this?" He asked, examining the bone.

"Thanks." He said simply, turning back and walking to where he left the stag. He started cutting, looking every once in a while to make sure that nobody was there to have to see it. To an inexperienced griffon, it was a sickening sight. However, to a well-practiced huntsman, like Bolter, something like this was routine. 


"Once we have enough poles for tents we can stop. "

((I just thought I'd point out that the wagon came with a tent for each griffon. I thought I didn't cross that out. Sorry :P))

Gruff woke from his sleep, he must have dazed while carving the pot, he checked his progress on the one day pot, it was almost done. Gruff finished carving and headed out to the lake and grabbed some water, "What did I miss?" Gruff said, he cut some fabric from the sack his rations came in and poked a pair of holes on either side, he slipped the make-shift string through the holes and started on a rack to hang the pot over the fire.

((hang it high enough and it doesn't burn, may take a while to boil but its all we have at the moment. This is also why I call it a "on time use pot"))

Gruff finished the rack and hung the one-time use pot with water and started to wait. He saw the hunter cutting at a deer and walked over. "Reminds me of the first time my father took me hunting, I was never good at it" He saw the hunter jump and looked over to see if he cut his hand, "Didn't mean to scare you. My name is Gruff, what is yours?"

((Uh, guys? In my last post Misty walked straight into Vol and Bolter while they were still in the woods . . ah whatever, never mind. XD))

 

Stumbling out of the woods, Misty once more tripped over a tree root, landing face first.

Holding back a scream, instead letting out a pathetic 'squeak', she got back up, started preening her feathers, and rubbed her stomach.

Third time today . . just grrreat. she thought to herself.

Shaking off the mud, she went back towards the group, who appeared to be crowding round something.

There were also two new griffons she hadn't seen before.

"Hi . . Who are you?" Misty asked, as she walked closer.

She could now see the stag, being skinned and the like, by the griffon closest to her.

"So I take it you're the hunter Orion was telling me about."

Bolter looked to the other colonist that had run into them when he and Vol were dragging the stag back.

 

"That's me. Bolter the huntsman, at your service." She offered her his claw that wasn't already covered in blood. The deer was just about done, but it still needed to have its meat separated and cooked.

"On a lighter note, who wants snacks? I found quite a few berries and stuff!" Misty added, emptying her bag onto a flat stone.

There were blueberries, raspberries and the like, along with the dead apple tree bark which she quickly stuffed back into her bag along with the assortment of healing herbs she'd found.

"Oh, I also found some parsley, if we can use that to flavour the meat as it's cooking."

She set that down on the rock too.

Bolter continued to cut the deer, and had just finished, leaving himself with quite a bit of meat, a deer hide, and some bones. He had thrown the useless insides far away, as not to attract wolves. 

 

"Who's hungry?" He asked aloud, carrying some cuts of venison.

Whiskey could smell meat. Lovely lovely meat. She sprinted as fast as her legs would carry her, and leaped through the air to nab a hunk of meat from the spit. It was fresh.

Bolter jumped back at Whiskey appearing out of nowhere. He almost struck her, but realized that she was just a cat.

 

"That's our dinner your cat just stole." Bolter said, frustrated. It wasn't even done cooking! He sighed, and getting a quick spit together with some sticks, he started cooking some of the venison over the campfire. It smelled nice, much nicer than the preserved provisions back in the wagon probably were.

"So, does anyone want some beer with their meat?" Faith asked. Orion nodded and walked around.

Whiskey finished his little bit of meat rather fast. But, it was only a little piece.

He wandered around before catching sight of a dog, which led to him hissing. Quite loudly.

Cass prepared for a fight.

She'd be sure to make sure the dog didn't get hurt.

"No thanks, I'm okay." she said, brushing off the offer.

Gruff smelled the meat. " Oh man that smells good, and I think my water is already almost finished boiling" Gruff said, he looked over at Misty and asked her something, "Is there any mint or something we could put in this water for some taste?". Gruff looked to the sky, it was nearing night time, he looked at the wooden pot to make sure it wouldn't burn through, the pot seemed to be doing fine.

Butch was in playing position to the cat. He tilted his head when the cat hissed. Orion heard and picked his dog up. "Woah there boy." Orion said to Butch. He carried him over to Faith. "Keep an eye on him, a cat is over here." Orion said. Faith nodded and made sure the cat stayed away.

"No beer for me, thanks." Bolter said simply, turning the meat on the spit. He looked around every once in a while to make sure no animal was going to steal some venison behind his back.

 

"Does the dog like venison? The animals have to eat too." Bolter asked Orion. A few pieces were ready to eat, so Bolter set them on a stone not too far away so that they wouldn't be on the ground.

"I suppose he will tonight, then." Bolter grinned, continuing to cook the venison cuts. 

 

"I'm sure he'll prefer it to the rations we were given."

"Uhm . . mint, mint . ." she started rooting around in her bag.

"Parsley, coriander, more parsley . . mint!" Misty exclaimed, pulling the sprig out.

"Sorry it's not much, but I did take all that was there." she said, handing it over.

"Thank you, ma'm." Bolter bowed his head to the herbalist. He continued to cook the venison, until he was finished. The scent of fresh-cooked meat filled the camp, and for a moment Bolter barely noticed that it was just about evening. He was glad that he found that stag earlier, lest he have to hunt in the dark.

 

"Alright. Dinner's ready!" He called out, having the cuts of venison neatly organized upon the rock for the others to take.

Vol took her bit of meat "thanks, it looks well cooked." she kind of felt sorry for the deer, but it was needed if they wanted to survive. Oh well, it was tasty.

She quickly finished it, and looked around "sooo... We're gonna need better places than tents. Anyone wanna help me put together some shelter?

"I could gather sticks, but I'm no skilled wood worker. The best material I could give you is tanned hides, I suppose." Bolter took a couple bites out of his own cut of venison. He was glad that it seemed well cooked, but he knew that he'd need more than one deer to keep the colony fed, and that meant either get a bow or get more cartridges, and they weren't getting gunpowder anytime soon, let alone iron for the actual bullet. He decided that he would try to find the materials for a wood worker to make him a bow and some arrows the next morning.

 

"Hey, if anybody knows how, could someone help me make a bow? My supply of cartridges won't last forever." He said aloud after eating a bit more.

"Well, I'm not the most skilled woodworker, but I can make a bow. Maybe upgrade one as well" Vol had started planning out areas she could set up homes "Also, tanned hides would be excellent" she picked up some sticks and started planning out some basic building areas. It might take a while, but she thought she could do it.

 

Not talking to anyone in particular, she asked "Anyone want to stay in the same house as anyone else?"

"It'd take less time to build than building a separate hut for each one of us. Besides, I prefer sleeping under stars." Bolter nibbled his food as he watched Vol work. He pondered how long it would take to build an entire house, let alone the foundation for one.

"Not for everyone, but to make sure people with allergies and stuff aren't together, and the pregnant folks get a place for their kids. And, of course, buildings that get too big require more stuff to keep them up" Vol had set up about 3 building areas. One was a mess hall, at least in her plans, another would be a room for crafting and metalwork, stuff like that, and the first of a few home areas was the last. It seemed like a good plan. A defensive perimeter would be the next thing, of course, after the buildings were planned.

Taking her chunk of venison, she tried to savour it.

Failing miserably, she quietly listened to the others planning.

"I'm ok with a tent, for tonight." she said, quietly.

(The more I play/read this RP, the more I think it'd make a good in-game RP :P)

 

"As am I. However, I think someone should take watch. I'm sure you all know the old wive's tales of wolves far beyond the caravans. Not to mention, bandits. I took care to keep the unusable parts of the deer far away, so we shouldn't have trouble with wolves, but who knows what else we may have to deal with. I'll take watch for tonight, seeing as I'm the only one with a good weapon." Bolter planned, not too far from finishing his dinner.

"I tried to shoot a wolf once. It isn't easy" Vol remarked, placing small pieces of wood from the day in the building areas. "Took like 3 shots for me to even hit the thing."

"They're not easy to hit, I'll give them that. I have a good feeling that tonight will be peaceful, but we should always have someone on watch." Bolter finished his piece of meat. He then moved a little ways from the campfire, sitting and loading his musket.

"I'll prepare some walls after this. Shouldn't be hard to keep animals out. Bandits are another story, but if they were in high numbers they'd have already set up a base here"

"Agreed. We should be alright for a few days if we can set up even a basic barrier." Bolter replied, without looking at Vol, still looking into the forest.

((Scifi! Out of curiousity, how do you hint they are getting pregnant?))
"Orion and I could share a house. I could also prepare the beams for the houses." Faith offered. She went over and grabbed a piece of meat. Faith went over to her carving area and ate hers there. "Anyone have string? I could make bows if I had string." She said.

Orion grabbed his piece of meat and one for Butch. He went over to him and gave him the food. Butch devoured the meat and begged for more. "No, next meal is in the morning." Orion said and the dog curled up near the fire. Orion drank a little beer with his meat.

Faith saw Misty was pregnant and walked over to her. She tore off some of her meat which didn't have her bite marks on it and offered it to her. "You look like you need it more than I do." Faith said to Misty.

"This mint will add a little flavor to the water, thanks for finding it for me." Gruff said, he dropped the mint into the pot (which was nearly finished boiling/ burning) and started eating some meat. He listened on to a few conversations, specifically one about housing, and added in, " We will need alot of wood for this, I suggest we build that crafting building you were talking about first, once it's done the houses can be done faster.
