Yes! Food! Finally... But... How the hell am I supposed to kill it? Unless... He lifts his bident, before trying to sneak as close as he can. Once he gets close enough, he throws the polearm, trying to impale the buck.

Not used to throwing weapons, it hits the buck but doesn't stick as hard as one would want so the now panicked deer darts off into the woods with his bident still stuck in its side.

The trail is easy to follow given the broken branches and blood on the floor... thought his goes against all of his hunting morals... that is to make it quick and painless.

Having screwed up his shot, he didn't have any other choice but to follow the deer with his carving knife in hand. He starts moving faster once he sees a clear trail, wanting to catch it before it escapes. Or is killed by another hunter.

Kai has to chase it for a surprising length before he finds the buck on the floor, sides heaving as blood pools around its stricken form.

He crouches next to the buck, before quickly slitting its throat. "Sorry about that. Need your meat." He mutters, before picking up and slinging it around his shoulders. The cutting could wait till he got back.

In an instant the buck is gone, the light of life fades from its eyes. A sloppy and unsatisfying hunt. If Max was here he would be giving Kai endless crap for that one.

He certainly would. However, food was the main concern right now. He had a tribe to feed.
With that in mind, he heads back to the site as fast as he can.

A bit of struggle later and he is back at the settlement site and the pile of wood has doubled in size as Maul remains ever full of energy.

"Bloody hell. That's a lot of wood..." He mutters, before slinging the buck down. "Alright everyone! Make a fire and get some sharp sticks! It's lunchtime!" He calls out loudly.

They look at him and start moving around, gathering up some wood to get a fire going. It takes a bit but soon a healthy blaze is going on a large fire.

While they were building the fire, he was carving the buck open. Then, he hands out cuts to everyone present, giving the largest to Maul, and keeping the smallest for himself. "Roast it on a spit, people. Until it turns... Well... Whatever colour you want it. I'd suggest a bit of pink in the middle!" He calls out, before picking up the intestines and looking around for a source of running water.

There is no river directly next to them... in fact, the only one he can remember was several hours toward the plant people. Everyone else holds their cuts over the fire, smiling as the smell of cooking meat floats through the air.

Well... Looks like the intestines and stomach were useless at this point. Maybe he could use it as bait later...

Once he tosses the entrails away, he walks over to the rest of the group and joins them in roasting his piece of meat over the fire.

Idle chat wafts around as everyone cooks their share of the meat, happy to have some real food since they arrived here.

A good number of logs are stacked to the side while a pile of wood pieces and sticsk sit next to that form Maul's group. A small stack of berries and other plants are not far from that, presumably edible... and one of the mutants has seeds to grow but no tools to make it happen.

If they had no tools, they'd probably have to do it by hand. But the major problem was the lack of fresh water. He'd need to send out search parties t find some.

People have started eating, judging their cuts are cooked enough for their taste... Maul is still going given how thick his cut turned out to be.

He quickly finishes off his tiny slice, and gets up to walk towards the mountain. Then, he flies up as high as he can, trying to spot any close sources of water.

It looks like there might be a source of water in the direction the direction that Chasey and Hina went in. Speaking of... he can see them making their way back!

He grins happily and starts making his way back down, walking towards them quickly with a smile on his face.

THey soon crest the small hill and are in full view. They both wave and he can see large shiny black demon wings on Chasey's back! Seems they finally grew in.

"Heeey! Welcome back!" He yells, running to them and waving. "Oh your wings grew back! Congrats!" He says, before hugging them. "So what did you find?" He asks.

They both give him a hug before looking at each other and back to him.

"So, we found a new tribe but we can't really decide what to make of them. They are very... firm in their beliefs."

"What she means is, they are a bunch of lunk heads! They believe the virus was "The great culling of the weak" and now only the strong or smart survive. They think all of this is like a test and now that the weak are dead it is up to the superior people to remake the world and decide how it functions."

"Beyond that they are a firm race on slaving. If you were not strong enough to fight them off, then you should serve under them. They don't seem cruel to their slaves but... they are very firm about it all."

"Also they have a black smith... so that is interesting. He can make stuff out of rock, clay or whatever metal they might have. Oh, and despite all that shit, gender means nothing to them, they only care about what you can do."

"Well, that's... Hmm... If I go there, they'll probably ask for a fight or something. To prove who is more dominant. Chances of me winning rely highly on what they look like. Speaking of which... Physical descriptions, please?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

"They could best be described as a melting pot. Any and all are welcome there and there is no set appearance... much like what you have started here Kai. Though if you want to assimilate their tribe you would have to fight their chief... and he certainly won the genetic lottery with the virus."

"Oh yea. Six feet six inches tall at least, powerful broad build that he obviously takes care of. Four arms, a prehensile spiked tail that is obviously used as a bullwhip when needed, a second row of retractable teeth over his normal human ones, claws instead of nails, rough gray skin that I can only guess is naturally damage resistant, bald so no hair to grab, cool spines running down his back and tail as well... just over all awesome."

".... Of course it had to be someone who's stupidly strong. Was he smart or no?" He asks, scratching the back of his neck.

"That, or he merely relies on his strength to keep his hold over them. Nobody can defeat him in physical combat. Therefore, they're too scared to stand against him." He murmurs, rubbing his chin.

"Perhaps. But we didn't get an audience with him..."

"Yea, we only got to look around cause I beat the crap out of one of their guards which basically gets you visitors rights."
