Book Text:
Putting the Environment to
Work
by Horvard Fleetwind
As hunters we have always
used our environment.
Feeding ourselves from the
land, finding shelter and
surviving the wilds on our
wits is what we do. From
my experience we also share
knowledge with each other
| when we discover something
of use. That's what I want
to do, so I'm writing this
down. I'm sorry if my
writing skills aren't that
good anymore, I don't
usually have parchment to
waste.
As you know, the natives in
this new place we've taken
to calling Discord are
|
| dangerous. They have some
useful adaptations. I'm
going to talk, or write I
guess, about four of them.
Let's start with the
Dragorn. Sneaky, strong,
fast, these fellows are the
kind you should probably
avoid, at least in any
large number. If you do
find yourself forced to
| kill one, there is
something you might want to
try. They appear to be
related to birds or
dragons. This means that
their bones are very light
and strong. Them things
sticking out of their backs
were probably once wings.
Now they are just
ornaments. However, there
are some very straight,
|
| strong bones in those
wings. I've found that
they make very good arrow
shafts. Shafts made from
these bones work very well
with every arrowhead or
fletching I've used.
There's this gross, fat
little beast they call a
Girplan. They look like
giant wads of mud with
| sticks stuck into their
backs. It turns out that
those sticks are useless
wings, a lot like the
Dragorn have. The mud
balls, though, can sorta
fly. They don't use their
wings to do it, it's some
sort of magic. The thing
is, they still have
feathers on those wings.
If you can pluck those
|
| feathers from their gooey
corpses try using them as
fletching. Some of their
floating magic seems to
stick to their feathers and
they make very nice
fletching.
I'm always looking for new
ways to string a bow, you
never know when you're
going to break a string. I
| was taking one of them
Murkgliders apart when I
noticed that they are
connected with some very
thick, long sinews. If you
dry them out a bit (not all
the way) before stringing
them on your bow you'll
find that they tighten a
bit and make a very nice
string. I use these
exclusively now.

Last, I want to talk about
them Bazu. Huge, nasty
things. Stay the heck away
from them. I've found a
few shredded corpses that
those Feran things have
feasted on. The Feran will
hunt them in packs, it's a
sight to see. They stalk
them like lions. If you
can find a Bazu carcass,
| take a good look at the
smaller bones. Find some
that aren't gnawed and you
might be able to fashion a
nice bow for yourself.
Look, I gotta go. I hope
this helps some of you that
haven't been to Discord and
tried this stuff out for
yourself.
