Rocks are small, bears are huge, we have no bear spray, fine particulate matter to irritate its eyes and nose is our best chance of emulating bear spray.

"Safe" isn't a word Tad knows. No such thing. "Safe" investments? Psh. "Safe" amounts of blow? Ha! "Safe" sex? Please. Don't make Tad laugh. (It burns a bit...)

Voting: A; A&D dual-wield, C. We can celebrate after.

Also, if we survive, this is totally selfie-worthy.

All he wants is a hug
The Bear is in the camp, digging through your stash, eating that sweet deer meat and your blow. gently caress NOT THE BLOW! That's it! gently caress these woods, gently caress that bear and gently caress everything. YOU ARE THE GREAT TAD AND THIS IS YOUR LAND. Your eyes glance down at the pile of metal, Earth's bones torn from the ground and melted into man's design. The Chainsaw, not a proper chainsaw powered by burning dinosaurs, but the cutting teeth are there on a wicked chain. You're gonna kill that bear. You're gonna kill the bear with your bare hands. In moment you are off, business formal shoes. The bear is pawing at your pack as you close the distance. Chainsaw in hand you whip that poo poo around the bear's neck.

Tad Attack 68 vs Bear 22 - Tad Critical Attack, Bear Critical Fumble



You catch the other end of the loop as the black bear startles in surprise. Your grip tightens and the wicked blades on the chain dig into the bear's flesh, causing it to grunt in pain. Before you can begin to work your saw a massive paw smacks into your side, dull claws poking through your sweater. The force of the impact sends you flying, but your grip holds on the saw and you are swung around the bear. A warm splash covers your eyes as you release the chainsaw and roll to your side. A sickening gurgle precedes a heavy thump followed by some labored grunting. You wipe the blood from your eyes and take in the sight of black bear bleeding to death from a massive throat wound, blood gushing all over the ground. It thrashes for a moment and the gout of blood quickly tapers off and the beast expires with a final low grunt.

Holy poo poo, you killed a bear with a chainsaw.
You actually did it.
This thing has to easily be three hundred pounds and is at least as long as you are tall.
And you did it all for the blow and you got there just in time to keep your stash intact.

The Gekko Says

"Great job kid. That's how you do a bear market, cut their throat and feast on the guts. That kind of mentality will get you far. Your dad doesn't get it, always plays it cautious. You gotta rip and tear. And now that you've done it today, you've gotta build on that success. Tear out the guts, cook em. Nothing gets fire in the belly like the success against a bear. Use the fur as a blanket. Stay warm, stay winning.

Rip and tear, kid.

Tad crouches on the roof of his 78 story investment bank, staring away into the night from the fire that burns behind him, naked save for the shaggy pelt and skull of some fearsome beast. "Michael!", he yells, and the sullen intern looks up from the fire.
"Yeah? Wot?".
"Tonight we burn out the cravens from our ranks".
The intern sighed. "Oh, yeah. Sure Tad".

I'm making some changes to the Inventory, nothing big, just streamlining it a bit.


You are Tad. God of the Woods, Slayer of Bears and the great Gecko commands you to partake of your kill. When did such a baller executive become your spirit animal. You were going north to get ripped on strange native drugs but gently caress man, between the coke and the bear murder this poo poo is tripping you out. If only your hands and your gut would settle. Must be the adrenaline. You figure two birds one stone. You take some duct-tape and make a quick wrap for the knife using some sticks and leaves to fill the grip with some strips around the cross guard to hold the thing together. Your hands aren't shaking too bad as you cut into the bear.

Dressing the Bear DC 30 vs Tad 42 - Pass, 110 lbs of bear meat, 1 bear skeleton, -2 hours
Preserving the Pelt DC 65 vs Tad 42 - Minor Failure, Partial Bearskin



The guts aren't too bad. You remember a few shows with the pee-guy talking about how you gotta avoid cutting the poop-chute or you get lovely meat. Well, you know where that stuff is and the knife is very sharp and makes easy work of the tough hide. You do your best and the guts just slop out, steaming in the morning air. The tough part is removing them all completely. There's stringy bits, and lumpy bits and they are all glued all over. loving bullshit nature making everything hard. This is what money is for, making loser dipshits do this hard work. You don't do a good job getting things out and eventually you have to cut parts of the pelt up to free things like bones and you think a liver. Its liver shaped. The voices are conflicted over if you should eat it or not. Liver is loving gross man. Its a gut. A gut ain't meat. Its slow going but eventually you have a plie of meaty bones, a pile of bear meat, and what's left of the pelt. It's not large but you got the head, arms and back free.



You try to scrape away all the nasty meat bits but there's not much you can do. Its also not like leather at all. Its warm and slimy but gently caress it, you are a king and you can always wash in the pond. You don the pelt, after removing your clothes because rituals are more badass when you are naked. College taught you that. You find the heart you set aside and smear your face with blood and measure out a shot from your flask in its little cap/cup. You hold aloft the two offerings and make you dominion sacrosanct with a challenge to the gods. "YO, gently caress THIS GREEN BULLSHIT FOREST OF FUCKSHIT. gently caress YOU NATURE, SUCK MY BEAR DICK! I AM THE TAD!". Your cry echos around the little clearing and you slam the shot of everclear with a chaser of bear blood.

Magic Nonsense DC666 vs Tad Magic Isn't Real - Pass?



Nothing happens but you feel like a total badass. A naked badass covered in bear blood and skin slime. Oh gently caress, blood tastes rank. Like hot water on a hot day, except sticky. Speaking of hot, its time to get the fire cooking and to roast this meat. You realize that cooking this meat isn't going to work, its gonna just rot. You need to smoke that meat, and that's easy as starting a fire. You have your knife and a hand axe. Not going to be too hard to rig up some skewers and big low fire. You also get rid of the nasty bear cape and prop it up to let the smoke cure the hide. You think it will work but you aren't sure.

Smoking all the meat DC55 vs Tad 83- Pass. -6 hours, +1 Day of Firewood, +100 lbs of Jerky, 1 Bear Trophy

You fall into a rhythm, slicing meat, shaving sticks, running into the woods to cut wood by hand, take some sick selfies with the bear hat (#KillingIt #FYAD_YOGI #IAMKINGOFTHEFOREST #WINNING) and the bear and your growing campsite and building fires. You're getting pretty good at making fires now. And you know that green wood makes smoke and smoke makes jerky. The smell is ridiculously good and your stomach grumbles, but you focus on the task. It takes ages and you think you've cooked and dried the meat. It tastes...like cooked meat with a mild smoky taste. You sample some of the bear and deer and surprisingly the deer tastes a little better. The Bear pelt didn't do too well. It isn't ruined, but it's very stiff and dry. Its not going to be a cape but you could mount this on your wall as a sick trophy.



The last thing you need to get done is some shelter. The Tad can't sleep under a blanket of leaves this time, you're better than that. You could rig something with the scraps of metal and the logs and more needles laying around, more so now with your tools. You set to work cutting some thicker logs with the chainsaw and gathering some thatch for roofing.

Crude Shelter DC35 vs Tad 44- Pass- +Crude shelter, -2 hours



It isn't difficult to get everything together. Some bits from the aircraft propping up some logs and heavy pine needles making up the roof. Its quaint in a way that you aren't too comfortable with. It's not your mega-yacht but it will do. The opening faces your two fire pits, one busy smoking away the last batch of meat. You chew a stick of jerky, admiring your recent kill and reveling in what a badass you are. This whole wilderness thing is easy as poo poo. You can't wait until you come back and turn this whole bullshit in to a parking lot.
