In Gus's endeavors, he is able to find a sufficient amount of dry wood, in such number that taking all his possessions would be nigh impossible in attempting to carry its full volume. He also finds a flint knife, from some now-dead's adventures, inherited from some conquered peoples far away; and it has somehow found its way into Gus's hands.
When he would arrive at the treeline, he would find that there are rather thick layers of moss on the trees' north face.
Additionally, he finds some unfamiliar Aphassus berries growing near the forest's edge, as well as some unknown dark red fruits, the tree of which has no moss on its trunk, and a lack of vegetation at it's base, save for a few vines growing along the trunk. Additionally, he would also find a tall columnar palm tree with large nut-seeds growing atop.
Gusamius has discovered the Geor Fruit.
Gusamius has discovered the Helia Nut.
Gus' initial supply problem proves to be an initial block in his venturing forward. He furrows his brows, before deciding on a plan- as temporary as it is. Gus goes ahead and assembles a firepit, moving some of the wood into said pit before he's using the sailcloth to cover the rest of his cumbersome goods, being the vessel of oil, shield, and other fabrics, using the wood to hold down the sailcloth at its edges.
As he finds the flint knife, there's a moment of looking it over before Gus furrows his brows. "Tools of a barbarian, but it'll do." he says, grabbing it by its hilt and beginning to move into the treeline.
As he finds the moss, Gus goes ahead and begins to collect and fold some before carrying on. Gus stops as he comes across the bushels of Aphassus berries, looking them over with suspicion initially- only to earn a complaining growl from his stomach. With a sigh, Gus moves forward and gathers a handful before putting them in his mouth, eating them after feeling them over for a brief moment. Gus is pleasantly surprised by their tangy taste, and collects as much more into his bag as he can before he looks up and around, spotting the dark red fruits.
Gus goes ahead and begins to scale up the trees moving to retrieve and feel the fruits, collecting some before climbing back down. Gus moves along and stops near the large palm tree, looking up and eyeing the nuts growing atop of it. He stares for a moment before he begins to cut in a cross into its trunk to easily recognize it should he come across it again, as a landmark, before he begins to try and scale it to retrieve one of the nuts. Whether successful or not, after a while he'd simply begin to make back to his small encampment, collecting moss and small sticks along the way .
Once he arrives, he deposits the driest of the moss into a small pile, bringing over the sticks to roll his hands back and forth against each other, moving down the length of the sticks to try to light a flame to light his fire with.
