Thread Name: [Bailey Peninsula] Deliverance II.
City/Area: In the wilds outside of Etzos. Probably 12 or so days' walk ride (oops) away from the city. About a day or so from Foster's Landing.
Notes/Warnings: Quio has to take out stitches with a knife and his teeth. The descriptions aren't graphic I don't think, but there's mention of blood and Quio is blood squeamish. He also eats (cooked) meat from an animal carcass he finds in the woods. It's not gross or anything but thought I'd mention it.

Requested Rewards:
SKILL KNOWLEDGE (6 b/c it's a solo)--
Hunting: Follow a prey animal to find its predators
Field craft: Sharpening/refining a stone knife
Field craft: Using sapling bark to make cordage
Field craft: Soak sapling bark to make it easier to remove in strings
Field craft: Use fire to keep the animals away
Field craft: Gather whatever food you can, even from carcasses if necessary

OTHER KNOWLEDGE--
Coyotes: Body mechanics
Coyotes: Pack hierarchy
Yludih: First animal form: Coyote observation

Loot: A rudimentary crutch made of wood and strips of old shirt. A simple 'sling' (a loop of cordage) made from braided tree bark.

-1 shirt (RIP) and his pant legs lol.

Injuries/Overstepping: Quio does some shouting/screaming which really hurts his already-damaged throat. He loses his voice. Not sure when that should come back, maybe a few days or so? He won't likely get any treatment for this, besides perhaps gargling some water.

He also takes out some old stitches which involves using a knife and picking through the wounds to get the stitches out. I think he does pretty minimal damage there; the wounds are quite old so he's not reopening them, but they do bleed a little. They'll probably take a while, a week or two, to properly heal now that the stitches are out and will be sore until then.

Note that, as I believe is mentioned in thread, Quio cannot as a Yludih get sick from spoiled/bad/poisonous food. So no worries there. Especially about those frankly suspicious mushrooms.

Fame: None.
Collaboration: No.
Magic EXP: No.
