Built into the cliffs overlooking the Suvan Sea, Riverfall resides on the edge of grasslands of Cyphrus where the Bluevein River plunges off the plain and cascades down to the inland sea below. Home of the Akalak, Riverfall is a self-supporting city populated by devoted warriors. [Riverfall Codex]

Hunting Troubles

"I will find peace within the future, This is what drives me forward."

Av513 13th of winter-
Miu sighed watching the fire flicker before her, she had been in the forest and around the orchards for days now and found that game was very rare in this season, Heh... Their smart I guess.. She thought to herself as she rubbed her hands together over the flames that had been easily made with all the wood she had collected trying to hunt with her long bow, she wasn't very good at it and had only managed a few hares and a questionable fish she had finally decided to cook, it sat in her stomach warmly, she reminded herself to maybe buy some salt with her money she did have.

She had set up her tent in only hours the day she had finally settled into Riverfall. Her mare Rowan didn't seem to mind grazing on the frozen grass she dug up with her hooves hoping to find a bit of green stuff instead of the dead plant she kept finding, Miu sighed patting her, "Don't worry I'll get some money coming in and we'll both be well fed." she smiled a bit to the mare, hoping she wasn't too cold tied to the tree like that but she had set up a tarp to cover them from the wind so hopefully not too bitterly cold.

By then it was getting darker and colder, she was working on setting up a target to practice at and to clear the place of the snow hoping it wouldn't fall again, "I hate this weather... defiantly a bad time to hunt." she mumbled stomping on the ground to get the snow off her dark brown leather boots, she wasn't too cold either with her long sleeved black under shirt, brown pants, leather boots and brown leather coat but the mare... shivered in the cold shifting towards the fire with a snort that came off as steam, she would hunt once more and go to the markets in the morning... at least she hoped, a fish was hanging over the fire then it was her first large catch and she had better skill preparing it this time since the first job was rather... poor.

Stabbing too sticks into the ground she lit the torches atop them carefully to light her camp site and ready herself for bed, The mare was already dozing when she scooted a rock over to the flickering flames to sit on and another to cut up the fish with her Knife she kept in her pocket, the Rabbit fur could be used but... how? she bit her lip with a rather sharp canine pondering, I should probably sell it for food... Rowan looks skinny but... it could be used to make more warm clothing... She poked at the fire with a stick keeping to her thoughts, "I hope this place gets better.."

"I will find peace within the future, This is what drives me forward."
She waited for what seemed like hours watching the fish carefully before pulling it down only getting burned a bit with her gloves, eagerly she started to slice up the fish and pull the chunks and strips of cooked meat apart in her hurry to get a meal going, she pushed aside the unwanted parts and focused on the cut up bits she had picked from the large catch, "Hmmm... I have some berries and Rabbit meat... I wonder if I can put the meat together and eat the berries and bread I have in my pack on the side." she smiled pulling out the already cut and cooked rabbit meat to heat up over the fire carefully, she had eaten most of her food but the bread would fill her for tonight. She sat this all down on the rock before her and started to eat the fish and rabbit meat along with her berries squashed onto the bread, she knew of the dangerous berries near Riverfall and was very careful in picking these sweet pink looking berries days before.

After filling her stomach happily she added more wood to the fire before retiring for the night in her tent in hopes that it would stay lit and warm her mare till morning.

As the sun shined and raised so did she, yawning and stretching before kicking the remains of her fire, the torches had also gone out but her mare was just annoyed looking for grass to graze on. Miu smiled happy to see Rowan that morning, saddling her up and putting on her pack to get ready to go to town, hoping to buy food for the mare and herself along with selling the furs she had managed to get. After closing the tent and tightening the ropes that kept the tarp up to shield her from the wind she mounted the mare and pulled on the reins trying to get her going due to her little riding skill And with that she was off to find a Job and get Citizenship.

Additional Note: I cut you to the front of the line on the grade requests because this was your first Miz thread and it was so short. I don’t think the others will mind much, since I’m planning on cleaning out the thread entirely today. I gave you planning for trying do decide what to do with the rabbit fur and deciding to settle on Riverfall. If you went into detail about how you built the fire step by step etc I could have given you Wilderness survival. I could have also given you observation if you had looked around and described what you saw more :)

It would have been nice to give you some hunting XP if you would have described hunting or even Wilderness Survival XP if you’d described snaring the rabbits. :)
