Tributary — Afternoon, Day 7

[SWAT One]

Blatsa, running out of options and ideas, begins to stab the tail.

The tail thrashes around wildly, causing Blatsa's shirt (not the fur coat because it's Summer and why would you do that) rips off, causing him to fly off into the trunk of a tree, hitting his head.  It will bruise, but nothing much else.  He sees a trail of blood go into the water as the plant sinks away.

Öln returns to the cave, and puts the leash on the dagu. He walks it out of the cave, and lets it graze. The leash, of course, makes it impossible for it to escape. After some grazing, Öln takes it to the lake to drink.

Blatsa gets to his feet, rubbing his head and wiping his brow.  A close one indeed, although he did look pretty good shirtless.  He tread back into the water to get a drink as he had originally intended.

[SWAT One]

The dagu is happy to be out in open air again, and tries to take off, but is quickly thwarted by the leash, which tugs tightly on its neck.  After Öln loosens this so that the silly creature wouldn't be strangled.  The dagu grazes and drinks.  Öln takes note that it feeds mostly on grasses.


Blatsa gets a good drink of water and is fully satisfied.  He looks in the water and sees a small glowing dark blue object under the surface of the water.

Blatsa quirked his head and furrowed his brow, and without hesitation reached into the water to grab it.

[Juncoph]

Öln returns the dagu to its fenced enclosure, and departs to look for more edible vegetation. He also searches for a plant made of fibrous material, to fashion rope from.

[SWAT One]

Sorry guys.  Going through intense finals work tonight and tomorrow.  I'll have to freeze time for today, December 10.  Event will come on the 11th!

Blatsa quirked his head and furrowed his brow, and without hesitation reached into the water to grab it.

Blasta pulls the stone out from the water.  It feels cold and wet no matter how Blatsa tries to dry it off.

Öln returns the dagu to its fenced enclosure, and departs to look for more edible vegetation. He also searches for a plant made of fibrous material, to fashion rope from.

Öln departs and finds a great abundance of andyej trees filled with nuts and berries of all kinds.  In his search for plants for fibrous material, he hacks at a tree that exists commonly within underbrush and finds that it is prime for rope-making.

«Öln has discovered the Dereu Tree.  Ψ»


As the sun sets, the clouds begin swirling in the sky yet again.  As the sun sets, aurora begins to dance in the skies.  Öln looks to the skies when he witnesses this phenomenon and sees shapes of animals that he has not seen before dance around in the sky.  Blatsa's stone begins to feel as if it's dancing to the rhythm of the dancing spirits in the sky.

[blazerblock2]

Blatsa stares at the stone, mesmerized.  He feels the cool, anomalous water from the stone, and then tastes it.

[Juncoph]

Öln hacks away at a few Dereu trees, and cuts their bark off for ropemaking. He also collects as many nuts and berries as his ruck can fit, plus some extra that he wraps within the bark he collected.

He takes his haul back to the cave, while gazing at the light show.

Blatsa finds that it tastes like normal, cool, fresh water.

FYI it's the wood that is fibrous.  The bark, when dried, works better for tinder.

Has a fibrous wood that can be stripped for making rope.

Öln collects 43 andyej nuts, 56 tegacha berries, 30 atii berries, 48 shendama berries, and 11 dereu rods.

As Öln is walking back to the cave, he hears a rustling in the bushes.

[grunterdb1951]

Vrede stuffs his face with the meat and begins to pass out, awaiting for day to come so he can go full Sasquatch move out from the cave.

[blazerblock2]

Blatsa, mesmerized by all that is happening, walks back to the cave, looking periodically from the stone to the sky.

Blatsa, as he walks by Öln, notices a quite miserable-looking man crawling out of the bushes toward him.
