Floating Lands | Ch 1 - A New Begining

[thenewnumber2]

{I will spend 2 surges to get me back to 25/27 - 6/10 Surges remaining}

As Rikkon walks over to the group surrounding the fallen spider, he sheaths Secretkeeper, convering the blade back into a harmless looking walking stick. Overhearing the discussion of the beast's meat, Rikkon speaks up.

"Determining the nature of the paralytic would seem to be the most straightforward way to determine if the meat is safe to eat... However, I must admit, I am not the most knowledgeable in such areas."

[Tondi-]

Rygar examines the body of the spider.  He knows that these creatures have no flesh inside, just goo and a few organs inside the carapace.  

The tips of the legs can be broken off, sealed and boiled for a sour tasting but filling meal.  It's one of those foods that is better off eaten in the dark.  You will need to boil them for an hour before too long or they may go bad.  8 rations available if you follow the above instructions.

The rest of the spider isn't good for eating.  Also there is the risk that whatever what paralysing the spider is still in the flesh.  It would be extremely hard to determine this.

The fangs would need to be properly treated to be made into some type of weapon.  Although large enough to be a short sword you do not have the skill or knowledge to craft an item like this.

OOC: I apply mods for your roles behind the scenes where it's appropriate.  It can also determine if you can even do something.  EG. a crafter might be able to create a crude weapon from the fangs but it would be harder on the road.  Other roles wouldn't even be able to do that.

The carcase of the spider and moths are still available for 'harvesting'.  You just have to suggest what bits could be used for and make an appropriate check to examine / extract.

{Can the wings of one of the moths be turned into a cloak?  Leather armor is so drab looking.}

[Tondi-]

Make an appropriate check.

Do this type of thing in character.

If you can't work out a skill to use, you can always make an attribute check.

Rikkon goes over the fallen yellow moth, bends over it and examines it's wings.  He takes out a shuriken and tests how easily the wings can be cut. He tests them in his hands to see how pliable they are, and how strong they are in order to see if he can use the wings to make a cloak.

The shuriken goes right through the wing and powder puffs up covering your hand.

Definately not suitable material for clothing.  Perhaps it could be used for artistic purposes however its delicacy would make it very hard to transport.

The stingers on these creatures is as long as your forearm and you know from the battle quite hard.  It may be useful.

[Meowzer]

Arthelian will see about extracting the stingers without damaging them. Then he will see about extracting the carapaces from the spiders and the moths to see if they can be made into armor. If not that, then at least checking to see if they could be hardened at all into some sort of use.

I know nothing apparently

[Tondi-]

You find the stingers to be softer then first though, probably having to do with the creatures just being born.  Although you try hard the extraction damages them to a state where they would be valueless.

The spider carapase is too large to extract and travel with.  It is also covered in irritating hairs that stick to your coat.

Suddenly you hear a low swooping sound coming from above.

Arthelian jerks his head up, bending his knees low trying to scan to see what had made the sound.

And then I poke my self in the eye somehow lol

Rikkon looks up, scanning the sky for the source of the sound.

[Eothr]

Rygar stands straight, bringing his greatsword into both hands; he scans the canopy for the source of the new sound.

oh for Fluck's sake... that was the wrong roll... that's the same roll from before.  And the Perception roll I was trying to post was a really good roll too.

[sliksham]

Briccys listens carefully to the swooping trying to discern the type of creature that could make such a sound {Perception to listen followed by Nature to identify} (ie insect wings 'flutter', bird wings 'flap' kind of thing) whilst making his way to the nearest tree and scanning the canopy above.

Tis a touch busy round here all of a sudden, lets be hoping its just an Owl or summat, would hate to meet the flappers mum
