Can we make the bear skin into a sack and start packing our stuff in it? Also, make a handle for the axe before exploring.

Okay so current plan is to cook up and eat the bear guts (fudging time a bit so they aren't rotten) with cooking tools made from metal bits. Any other actions?

We're not poor. Eat the meat of the front right paw of the bear, because that is what they scoop honey from hives with, and thus, it is the sweetest part of the bear. And yeah, assemble shelter, tools, etc. from metal bits.

Okay you have a handful of tools in various states of repair. You also have 35 lbs of "metal" to make stuff from. Do you want to make survival tools, farming tools, weapons, household tools, stills etc? Tad has a basic understanding what tools exist but the more complicated the higher the DC and there is always the chance something could go very wrong. Tad is good for protein for a while but other nutrients and water are low.

NOT YET! Bolstered by your recent conquest you set to work expanding this outdoor venture capitalism into manufacturing. You need tools, and some pots and pans, an a sword. A big loving sword. The chainsaw is great but you want something a little more hefty and worthy of the king of the forest. A SWORD! You look over to the pile of metal and sticks and get to work with what you have available. The rest of the day is spent hammering away at metal with a stone, cutting and scoring with your kinfe. You even take some time to make a new bag out of the pelt of the bear. Machete - 60 vs 3 Pans - 45 vs 26,83 Pot - 45 vs 43, 93 Arrowheads- 30 vs 40 Bear Pack - 30 vs 32 Handle for the axe- 65 vs 13 +1 Bear Pack, 5 arrowheads, 1 pot, 1 pan, -25lbs of metal  The sword fails utterly. You can get the aluminum around a stick but it wont hold an edge or stick to the metal. You fortunately save the metal and switch to pots and pans. The first two drafts are terrible and fall apart the moment you try to wield them. The second drafts come out much better as you recycle the first attempts. You feel like a god of the forge banging away at the metal, no clue if making it hot first helps at all but you're making good progress. Arrowheads are next but quickly get knocked out. Its just metal triangles and you figured out how to make an edge when you tried the sword out. The bear pelt is next. While it makes a radical cap, you need to increase storage for your assets. The majority goes into making a neat bag with string draws and the The head comes down and buries itself in the log. *THUNK-SNAP*  The handle keeps going with a sick crack and the sharp tip rips into the side of your shin, a gout of blood seeps from the wound and stains your pants. Pain is a funny thing, takes a moment to register, but the world comes into sharp focus as the adrenaline shoots through those scarred vessels.  gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress 8PM, Day Two You're looking a little rough Tad.

I don't suppose there are any tweezers or forceps in the fishing or sewing kits, and we sure as poo poo don't have a first aid kit. Let the bloodflow flush the splinters out, dump a shot of Everclear and a scant dusting of coke on it, in that order, wrap it in your cheapest shred of clothing, and tie it all together as tight as you can with duct tape. I do not see Tad having any knowledge or foresight necessary for that, so consult the Gekko and eat the bear's heart for power.

Btw, don't google any of these things, especially if you're anywhere near food.

^^That sounds about right. Years ago I had a mosquito bite get infected, and within three days went from totally fine to slurring, blurred vision and a doctor stating in no uncertain terms "This is septicemia. You're dying, you have about four days to live, take these antibiotics right now you idiot lunatic". LOL, loving mosquitoes.

You curse, loudly. Mostly in fear but the pain isn't too fun either. The haft of the weapon slides out with a wet schlorp, blood welling up from the injury. It's hard to see just how deep the wound is but when you briefly poke the wound its deep. The adrenaline still coursing through your body lets you clamp your hand over the wound and make it the short jaunt to the firepit where your supplies are. Shaking you dump your pack and grab at everything you need. Half remembered first aid lessons from school drift through your head but most of it is how to handle someone OD'ing. Gotta clean it, you can use the alcohol. Gotta clamp it down with some bandages, maybe the tape. gently caress it hurts so bad, your foot isn't moving too great. poo poo. Tad Doctoring, - 20" Duct tape , -Everclear (5 oz), -33 sheets of paper, -3 Norco Infection- DC 50 vs Tad 8 - Failure Bleeding- DC 35 vs Tad 52 - Pass Treatment- DC 45 vs 41 - Failure You try to wash the wound with the everclear but your shaking hands only get a little of the precious liquor into the wound. It burns worse than the cut and you drop the flask spilling the rest of your precious liquor. It will have to do. You don't have any bandages but paper will have to do. You slap a bunch of layers down out of your notepad and use the ducttape to secure the paper to your leg and then tighten the wound. It takes all the tape but you get something into place. The blooming red on the paper slows down and eventually stops as the norco you slammed start to kick in. In a gentle attempt you try to stand but the pain radiates through the haze of opiates and your foot continues to have trouble moving. You can kind of hobble hop with the help of a large branch but its heavy and you are slow moving. More norco goes down and the pain fades away but you still feel the wound throb and pulse, almost in time with slow chirping of the crickets in the woods. It's a cold night tonight and its made worse by the come down from your adrenaline rush.  You have enough sense to toss some wood onto the fire, using that last to banish the chill, leaving you chemically numb instead of frozen. There isn't much to do but sit and let the chemicals take you away to dreams of golden hookers and cooked books. You dream of being rescued and coming back to this hellscape. The controls of the bulldozer feel funny. The brakes aren't working and the dozer is suddenly in the air and spiraling back to earth. The Gekko is sitting next to you. He smiles in a way that makes your soul clench. His mouth opens but doesn't move as his broken voice snakes out as thorny branches.  "All hot streaks end, hot shot. You cooked the books but this is one book that no one can cook. In the game of life you either profit and die, or simply die. I had hopes for you, would have been great to be the one to crush your assets and hear the lamentations of your shareholders. Only the rich are fit to enter the halls of Investhalla. Tick tock, Tad." He finishes before the thorns rip into your leg and the dozer crashes into the face of a golden bear. You startle awake as pain shreds your leg. It feels like its on fire. Any movement sends you screaming and you can't even feel your foot. Two more norco go down so you can even attempt to touch the wound. Something isn't right as the paper is stained black opposed to the dark red of yesterday. The sun is shining brightly and you can feel the warmth ease your pain but why are you still shivering and what is that smell? The meat isn't gone bad and the bear skin stopped stinking when you cut it into the bag...Oh, its your leg. The smell is rancid and as you peel back the bandage, a foul rotting smell bursts forth from your purple black flesh. You roll to your good side and vomit. You feel like poo poo and not in the normal hangover way. 9AM, Day Three Looks Bad, Tad?
