Vodarara and the others had rationed roasted squrriel that night well rationed in terms of portions, Vodarara’s portion was the smallest and the other all had increasing sized portion, however this was logically Vodarara had other food supplies that he carried with himself that he could consume and also the others would need more food than him due to their size.
Through the night there were discussions with the locals and the other arrivals about what we could do and issues to address in the morning, the food supplies had been somewhat saved but they were still damaged by the squirrel horde that had decided to go about consuming them all.
Discussions finally lead to things other than home and rebuilding of stockpiles to other needs of the village, for long distance travel over glacier trails it was quite necessary to use sled dogs to move large supplies across the ice fields, with the avalanche many had been injured enough to put them out of action permanently making them as good as food, many others had just been outright killed.
The sled dogs used by the Imuchakk were wolves these would be tamed from wolf pups that had just about been weaned off of their mother’s milk, so that they could be kept alive and then trained into being prepared for their uses.
There was still risk in this method it was far better to use young from the sled wolves that had been there for generations, they were far less likely to rebel and attack people by instinct.
This time of year wolves would likely be feeding there pups up to bring them out for the start of the season were the hunts were more bountiful to help cover the hungry mouths to feed.
This would be a fairly dangerous operation, first you have to deal with well they have a whole pack, then there is likely to be at least the mother guarding the pups, now a mother that’s threatened is going to try its damned hardest to tear your throat out.
It would require a lot of teamwork and even then you would only take a limited number of pups, would you pull their nest apart or try to crawl into it and pluck out the young.
You needed someone small to get into their dens.
It would definitely need to be a team job, the imuchakk may be distracting the pack and they should have no problem with them and maybe me being small and sneaky going for the pups.
(Weapon Upgrade B tier)
Vodarara however needed a better arsenal if he was planning to take on an Alpha Female, his arrow heads at the moment weren’t going to cut it against that type of beast.
The arrow heads should be changed to a strong more treated type of bone, the issue with using primarily unicorn horn headed arrows was that they had the habit of causing more wear on the bowstring so Vodarara had started using dulled heads for now to help reduce the wear on the strings.
He decided the best bet would be to adjust it and start using sharpened heads, bone heads would come at a later date.
He used his bone knife to sharpen the tips of his arrows, arrows designed to stun or knock out would prove little use when fighting a creature flooded with blood rage, they won’t stop even without a the beat of their blood, you had to put them out of the fight movement wise was the only safe way to go about it.
The next change would be to improve the survivability of the twined rampaging unicorn hair, Vodarara used as his bow strings if it was tighter it would decrease the width of the string but then in theory you could possibly bulk it with a protective coil of sorts around the contact point with the arrow and then just have to maintain that and the connections with the bow.
Vodarara set about working with ways to tighten the strands of hair together.
It would be a sleepless night phase while Vodarara tried to devise plans of action and improve his bow and its armourments that he could deploy to the fight.
