Öln begins cutting down the youngest, shortest pine he can find. He periodically looks around, though, not wanting to be ambushed with little more than a crude axe and his own wits to fight with.
Öln cuts down a small pine tree. Because of the limited amount of sunlight able to reach the ground in his area, most of the trees are tall. He cuts down a sizable tree of 25 feet tall. There is a good amount of wood available from this, approximately 3 logs, 6 rods, and 20 sticks.

Heshimun eats as many Tegacha berries as he can see, being careful to avoid the bad berries, and moves North toward the water, being very thirsty. Along the way he marks the trees at eye level with his axe so as to be able to make his way back.
Heshimun bares several bushes of their berries and spits out numerous seeds on the ground.

As he arrives at the lake, he finds that the water where he is is fairly clean, and notices a number of fish swimming out further into the lake. The soil is very clay-like at this shoreline. He surveys his surroundings, noting that to his left, the forest thickens, and to his right, there appears a large plains area that stretches along the lake some few miles. Across the lake, he sees no smoke or sign that any inhabitants live there yet until far in the distance, a man seems to have left a cave, spotting some unknown grazing creature drinking at the lagoon.
Veshikk eats the handful of seeds he had and ventures out of the cave, observing his surroundings properly now that the storm has abated. He looks for a long, sturdy stick or branch with as few limbs on it as possible.
As Veshikk leaves the cave, he spots three dagu drinking at the lagoon which he passed yesterday. They seem not to have noticed him. Otherwise, Veshikk notices that a few sizable branches in the forest have been knocked off during the storm.
