Over the course of the next eight days, you continue honing your less physically demanding skills. Namely, reading, trapping, woodwork, and meditation. The Beginner’s Guide to Camping and the Long-Term Camper’s Cookbook are the only manuscripts you haven’t perused in detail, so you do, and little by little, learn something new. Trapping goes both terrifically good and terribly bad. For one, laying out snares and checking the ones you have has become a routine, and a loop that once took almost an hour to figure out can be finished in under five minutes, but for another, your attempts to make a waterproof fishing net fail to do anything but waste rope, and waste time.

When you’ve learned all from The Beginner’s Guide to Camping and the Long-Term Camper’s Cookbook you think you can for the week, you decide to delve into the depths of meditative trance, as seen in Naruto and countless other animes. Even with the weight of your jiggling, but slowly diminishing rolls of fat enormous Hakoge ninja warrior musculature, assembling a sufficiently large pile of brush and kindling is a simple enough task, and one you undertake with great satisfaction. Once the sun has set on the bonfire in the making, you cross your legs and flicking your trusty lighter to life, set it alight.

The assorted tinder seems to explode into flame, so you spread your arms and embrace the heat. It washes over you, fills your girthy mighty frame, and cleanses you. For that moment, all thought save that of bringing honor to this broken world ceases to be, and you are one with your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors. You gaze into the flames with the still fury of one who knows his foe better than he knows himself, inhale the smoky air of the furious, frothing hate which strives to consume you, and exhale the pale mist of crystal clear, cold and merciless focus which will not relent.

Until the sun rises you gaze into the roaring flame, and it is only when even the embers amidst the ashes flicker no more you tear your eyes away. You remain seated, deep in contemplation for what feels like an eternity, and when the presence of your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors leaves you, it is almost as if your soul has lost itself. Some weakness remains, yes, but it is tempered by the purity of purpose that only a true Hakoge ninja warrior can know. Your fate has been laid open, you are Derek Ian Edwards, the instrument of justice incarnate in these corrupt and broken lands, and those who dare stand against the righteous wrath of the Ronin, shall DIE upon your blade!

For the rest of the week, you focus on training your superhuman reflexes to catch shurikens you throw in the air, and miraculously predictably, fail to cut yourself in the slightest. Sadly, you make only minor progress in furthering your speed of motion, and when you sleep, you dream of putting your martial prowess to the test against swarms of grizzled bears and filthy roastie temptresses, each intent on stealing your waifu away. These dreams and others like them seem to repeat themselves, and by the time Monday arrives, you find yourself almost anticipating their nightly arrival.

OH MY GOD YOU'RE NOT FUCKING DEAD HOLY SHIT

Ye of little faith, after a long meditation quest, I have returned to continue the chronicle of Derek Ian Edwards' AKA Ronin AKA Mr. D.I.E.'s saga!

No, but seriously, every single one of you faggots has my deepest apologies for that unspeakable display of unwarned and unwarranted faggotry, but during my two week ban, so many weeks ago, my day-to-day life disintegrated and I've been picking up the pieces ever since.

To list the highlights:

> My formerly alcoholic and autistic but otherwise healthy grandfather died out of nowhere, two days after the ban, leaving me reeling
> One week later, my parent's trailer was immolated in an electrical fire caused by a faulty roof installation, destroying everything they owned and suffocating my dog.
> After narrowly passing both finals, I decided to change majors from Information Technology to English, because both back-to-back tragedies made me realize I'm dog-shit at handling computers and need to spend my life doing what I'm good at.
> For the last month and a half, I've been living with my parents and younger sibling in my great-uncle's hunting cabin, with no internet connection whatsoever while we go about building an actual house 200 yards or for you eurogfags, 182.88 meters behind the ashes.
> At one point, I was attacked by a meth-head with a tire iron while I was trying to drop off some burnt scrap metal at junkyard, and almost died in the ensuing confrontation because my dumbass left muh .45 in the truck's glove compartment, and I was lucky to get away with only some heavy bruises, even if I couldn't identify them to the police

It's been some serious, life-changing shit, and all that aside, I'm ecstatic that I've finally managed to rig a shitty and slow Iphone7 hot-spot connection to continue this quest with you guys.

>he's back
PRAISE BE

>>3550861
Holy Jesus. Awesome to have you back!

>>3550861
God bless you. Holy mother of God that's a trip my dude. I'm glad you are getting better though.

>>3550861
Wow. I'm glad the QM curse failed to claim you OP. It certainly tried holy shit.

Also, we've gained 6, why do we still have [17/20] intelligence? As for what we should do:

>let's go hick hunting

>>3550824
>Hunt a bear, skin and butcher it to the best of our ability. Then begin the process of making it a coat. Cook the remains and set them up to dry.
>Spend the remaining time and effort (if applicable) practicing treerunning. Also attempt to water run.

>>3550861
Why is it every time a anon and more specifically a qm reveals part of what is happening in their life, it always sounds about 60 times more interesting or insane than my own.

>>3551061
Life is often stranger than fiction, because it's what we draw inspiration from. Chances are there is some aspect (if not moment) in your life that is just as ridiculous. I know I have.

>>3551072
I very much doubt that, the only thing I've got going on is a 2 year college course that I plan on dropping out of with a lower level than I intended because I've delayed certain parts of the course past the point of being able to finish them thanks to missing a class I hate for weeks unintentionally as well as an exam in the next 24 hours that I expect to fail.

Not that that would put me down, I'd get a second chance, but because this is the last week of my course I'd have a very limited period of time to study and prepare for my second attempt. Plus I'm questioning if I'd manage the second year, as I've received conflicting reports from my lecturers as to the content (e,g lecturer for the part I enjoy, network / routing tech, says it is essentially the same work but at a higher level whereas lecturer for a bunch of classes you have to take in first year because the education in this area is standard for the first year says it continues on with the shit I'd been working with, shit that I hate).

It doesn't help that I've got a limited amount of "free" funding from my government to use, 4 years worth of which I've used a year, meaning that I've got to be dedicated and effective in my use of it. Which is in turn complicated by the fact I'm unsure of what the hell I want to do in life.


I don't do clubs, charities, hobbies or anything else. I am one step away from being a NEET and it's honestly kinda stressful given I know if I dedicated myself to something, I'd be able to do amazing things but I don't have the discipline or the dream needed to settle on a goal and do it.

>>3551115
Hello, me.

>>3551167
It's me again.

>>3551167
>>3551179
What a wonderful collection of us we've encountered.

>>3550860
Not yet, anon, not yet.

>>3550864
>>3550908
>>3550946
I'm glad to be back.

>>3550986
It's been one hell of an experience, and I've probably gained a Willpower level or two myself. As for the Intelligence, I'll edit that post-haste in the next update, which'll most likely be coming sometime tomorrow morning.

>>3551061
These days, I wish my life was more boring.

>>3551115
True that, true that.

>>3551115
>>3551167
>>3551179
>>3551207
We're all gonna make it, brahs.

>>3550986
Are you certain you want to risk another violent confrontation and/or moral dilemma?

>>3551059
Are you sure you want to attempt to make a bearskin coat, when you don't have any [Sewing] skill to ensure a success?

>>3550824
Also, holy shit you are armed to the teeth.

>>3551223
>risk another violent confrontation
Shinobi justice demands it

>>3551223
Sorry I meant to say cloak. But with the skull cap obviously. And the arms wrapped over the shoulder. Because it's cool. Sewing is still probably needed, but it's not the same as a coat.

>>3551233
If you can acquire a majority of votes, certainly.

>>3551238
Right. Keep in mind, bears are [Hard] to come by, and fashioning a half-decent cloak'd be a [Hard] task without any [Sewing] skill.

>>3551248
Hhhhhhhmmm I'll wait until more people input in thread before I commit to anything. Thanks for the heads up though.

Still waiting on you anons to decide a course of action.

>>3551268
Anytime.

BY THE SKIN OF MY TEETH

>>3550861
Holy Christ, the QM curse is fucking real. First with Miniseries anon, then VOID, now you.

Im scared

>>3550824
For the sake of expediency I'll switch my vote to >>3550986
Also Shinobi! justice

Hey qm do we still do morning exercise atutomaticly? Also how many action points do we have each week?

>>3551718
Seriously, why the fuck?

>>3551730
When you aren't nursing a gunshot wound, yes. As many as someone of Derek's caliber could reasonably have in a week.

>>3551727
I'll give you all a few more hours to come to a consensus, in the meantime I'm playing some D&D Basic on Discord, West Marches style.

>>3550824
> Continue trapping
> Read the books we haven't read yet
> Meditate
> Make sure our wound docent get infected
> If wounds permit it, hunt some evil weed farmes.

Just the other day I was wondering what happened to this quest, glad you're still alive OP.

It is apparent to you that if you are to achieve your destiny as a Hakoge ninja warrior, you must become well-versed both in dishonorabru gaijin piggu weapons and the effeminate skill of sewing. Fortunately for you, amidst the tomes of your humble library lie two slightly used and dusty ancient and yellowed texts most well-suited to the herculean task your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors have set before you. Applying your deranged obsession determined force of will to the writings, you further your knowledge over the course of the week.

> +4 Intelligence [7/40]
> +3 Rifle [8/10]
> +3 Sewing [3/5]

Admittedly, at the moment, your brain-gains are quite modest but you know deep within yourself that if you persist, your mind shall soon become unrivaled in magnitude. Some time goes on as you continue your exercises in experimental meditation and honing your physical prowess to a razor’s edge, and by the week’s end you find yourself feeling healthier than ever before. And to think, all of this, without the use of your powers? So many years of NEETdom, decades of your youth, wasted! You brought shame to your mommy’s name, but you swear, never again shall you succumb to the temptations of sloth!

> +4 Willpower [49/80]
> +14 Strength [41/60]
> +21 Endurance [24/80]

In your spare time, you search the thirty miles surrounding your cave lair, but find no evidence of narcotics abusers. Perhaps that’s for the best, because your waifu has been visiting you in your dreams, and the urge to fashion a beautiful work of art in her image grows stronger by the hour. Eventually, in the midst of a meditative trance you see the impassioned request for what it is, and soon set about seeing it done with what humble skills you possess.

> +2 Carpentry [5/20]
> +Small, Splintery Waifu Carving

When you’ve finished whittling the finest log you could find, the result brings tears to your eyes. The sculpture is tiny, barely fifteen pounds all in all, and covered in tiny cracks and grooves from the wood, but no nobs mar its face, nor does the slightest patch of mold disgrace its hair. No connoisseur of the fine arts would give it a second-glance, but to you it is everything, and given your pitiful skill, an impressive testament to your talent.

But you can feel your waifu’s lovely eyes upon you, and you know you can do better. In other news, your cleverly laid traps have gathered four days of squirrel’s meat for your succor, and what’s more, you’re starting to get this whole “tanning” thing down to a fine art. Incidentally, you remember that one roastie’s offer, Deborah, was it? She said she’d give you money for whatever hides you could bring in, mayhap that would be a good idea for the next time you head into Memphis, Tennessee.

> Tannery 1 [8/10]

Eventually, you'll be able to make comfortable furs or fine leather, and move on to world-class artisanry given another year or two at this rate.

>>3552086
I can't remember, have we thoroughly read all the books, or do we just read as needed?

>>3552128
You read as needed until you've reached the skill cap for the book involved.

>>3552132
I assume we'll automatically be doing Survival, Trapping and Cooking, so practice sewing, tanning and carpentry as well as our usual exercise. Parkour and Stealth would be good if we can manage them here. Throwing as well if it's not too much.

>>3552082
Let's practice with our powers. What can we do so far and what could we improve?

If we can't practice with our powers, let's just get lighter and practice tannery, so we can tan some pelts and sell them for money to buy tendies with.

>>3552166

>>3552166
Supporting this. Our powers are very well suited to Parkour and stealth, so we should specialize in those fields if possible. Then again we are already batshit enough to superslam a capeshitter on an open 1v1 fight.

Holy fuck yes this is back. The best quest on qst for a long time, especially since the QM for Greatest War keeps falling off the earth and disappearing.

>>3552166
Training [Throwing] full-time is a bit much on top of [Survival][Trapping][Cooking][Sewing][Tanning] and [Carpentry], but integrating [Parkour] and [Stealth] elements into your daily regimen is an easy enough task.

>>3552178
I agree, but keep in mind, this quest's from our intrepid protagonist's perspective.

>>3552179
Your superpowers are as follows:

> [Tier 8] Superhuman Reflexes: Your reaction time is almost instantaneous, to the point that in stressful situations, your speed of thought and physical motion have hastened to compensate. This is potent enough to destroy any non-super that isn't a combat master or exceptionally lucky in melee combat, and dodge bullets, though not reliably.
> [Tier 7] Gravity Redirection: You are able to redirect gravity in a short radius around yourself, primarily useful for wall-running and if need be, ceiling sprinting though if you get creative, there are some applications for grappling or dodging slower projectiles.
> [Tier 4] On-Contact Weight Reduction: You can reduce the weight of any substance you or your weapons can touch by as much as five-hundred pounds, something you use almost daily to reduce yourself to a much more comfortable, weightless state, and in situations that require violence or heavy lifting, to replicate super-strength to a degree.
> [Tier 6] Superhuman Martial Arts: You have the martial prowess of someone trained by the finest masters from cradle to grave, for two-and-a-half lifetimes. If this were your only superpower, in combat your speed would be blinding, your balance impeccable, every strike would land with every ounce of your weight exactly when and where it would do the most damage, and you might as well be intangible for all the injury your foes can inflict. That alone isn't enough to handle overwhelming numbers, modern weapons, and most serious supers, but it is not your only superpower.
> [Tier 5] Shadow Melding: You are able to become one with the darkness, becoming almost invisible so far as the naked eye is concerned, extremely difficult to detect with night vision gear, and barely present to advanced thermal equipment. To use this, you must have ambient darkness to attune to, and if exposed to sufficiently bright light, you'll painfully snap back, momentarily disoriented.
> [Tier 7] Shadow Summoning: You are able to dispel the light in a large radius equal to roughly thirty yards around yourself, and control the darkness that results. It can be made to form simple walls and rods with a thought, and as many as a dozen tendrils twice as strong as the average weightlifter with minor focus. These shapes are solid, and durable as high-grade steel, if not moreso, given they can regenerate from the surrounding shadows.

> (1/2)

>>3553073
> [Tier 4/3] Blaster/Blade Generation: You are able to summon katanas, wakizashi, shuriken, and kunai made of spirit energy at will, and each is equivalent to its historical variant in both cutting power and durability. These can last almost indefinitely if held in your hand, or for as long as half a minute if separate from your touch. This is by far your favorite superpower.

So far as the average person is concerned, you are both a dozen memes incarnate and an eldritch horror with inscrutable motivations to be avoided if at all possible. The fact that you've vanished from the face of the earth for months since your first appearance, with nary a sign save the sites of a dozen, seemingly random massacres connected to a Mexican supremacist gang halfway across the country from your first appearance has done nothing to dispel the rumors, or ease the concerns of the Federal government.

>>3553073
>>3553081
Thanks.
So this tells me we need to bump Weight Reduction up a tier, so our powerlist starts at 5 and gets scarier from there.
What do anons think our weaknesses have been historically?

>>3553191
Well that'd explain his shitposting on /pol/.

>>3553220
Automatics, daylight, and big groups of gangsters are biggest threats. Supers are scary but rare so we can avoid them if we’re careful. I think we need to go Wood Tinker like anons talked about in the second thread.

>>3553191
No u

>>3553191
>>3553225
I didn’t think anyone white was on /pol/ I thought everyone was either 56% huWhite at most, JIDF, or an Abo Aussie shitposter

>>3553220
Damage output- DIE has speed and stealth down to a T, but only has mundane blades, shadows, and martial arts to attack with. Any of those three would be good, though I am biased towards Martial Arts as Uber alluded to them being duper duper nice at higher tiers

>>3553232
I dunno, I think it would be best to stick to a tight set of powers that play well together and follow a clear theme. What we could do is practice Shadow Summoning to make wide-range attacks, but I still feel that we should be playing to our strengths (stealth, surprise, lethality) and avoiding our weaknesses until one of our powers is at least at tier 12. We should ideally never have to deal with our weaknesses during an excursion.

>>3553236
If we have heavy objects around we could fake super-strength.
Could we literally road roller someone if we leveled that up?

>>3553240
If a fight isn’t in our favor, we can always tactically retreat. Ninjas did it, I’m sure our intrepid Hakoge would too. But the point should be to strike at a time, place, and manner so that our success is guaranteed. Like a true ninja.

>>3553240
Yeah, I just want to really use our wood-carving skills and think log-bots could be cool as fuck.


>>3553246
But for now I think we should go full reflexes+martial arts to be an insta-kill blitz machine. Shadows are good enough against normies, we need to be strong enough to takedown SWAT.

>>3553234
Well Derek isn't white. He's trans-african like his ancestors.

>>3553261
Just like Adolf Hitler. He committed suicide because he couldn’t complete the mission his trans African ancestors gave him, to destroy Europe once and for all. We had to wait on Mütti Merkel

>>3553263
We will complete Hitler-san’s mission, and purge every single one of the normies.

>>3553263
He almost had it, too. But that turbo-oppressor Stalin turned out to be too monstrous to defeat. Him and his ice witches. Thankfully despite America's intervention they have remained blind to the potential of the trans-african population and thus Derek as well. But we better watch out for those ice witches. Bunch of commie Harlots.

I feel like if I shitpost any harder I'll get put on a watchlist.

>>3553639

>>3553606
Derek thinks Hokuto no Ken is a quality manga in its own right, but that the anime doesn't hold a candle to Naruto or DBZ, and that it's overrated as a whole. Though it isn't too far from the mark of what can be done with high-end Superhuman Martial Arts.

>>3553646
Luckily for Ronin, the previous 2's ensure the 1 doesn't count. Still need three 3d2's though.

>>3553648
Easily his favorite character, Derek feels the lack of a spinoff miniseries was the manga's greatest mistake.

If a couple of you anons don't roll three 1d3's in the next fifteen or so minutes, I'll do it myself to save time.

I got a question about this, is it .1 of a pound or .5 or what fraction is it exactly?

When do we start going stir crazy from living innawoods with no human contact? Actually, more important than that, without access to any manga? We need to unload the guns so that we can sneak into a manga/doujin store and acquire some superior Japanese entertainment. Not only is it spiritually nourishing for DIE, it helps entertain AND educate him.

>>3553758
That's an infection, please get checked.

>>3553767
We've already carved a waifu, next step is to carve an entire cast of people and make our own action scenes with them. Just a ball of lard, playing in the woods with his dolls.

>>3553762
.1 of a pound, yes.

>>3553767
You've already spent a solid decade with next-to-no human contact outside of a handful of obscure imageboards. Two(?) months is nothing in comparison, especially when you're hell-bent on gaining the powers of a Hakoge ninja warrior, but a normal person would be having some serious issues by now. Even so, eventually you'll be making Willpower rolls to avoid doing something reckless in your pursuit of JUSTICE.

Hey Qm does this world have a danger classification like worm, and if it does can you tell us Dereks danger level?

Deep in your meditations, you realize that if you are to achieve mastery in the ways of the ninja warrior, you must first achieve a true Hakoge’s finesse in the timeless arts of stealth and parkour. While the gifts of your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors are stronger than anything you could once imagine, it is clear that like Naruto and his chakras, you cannot rely on them alone, and must further yourself before your powers. Moreover, while stealth and parkour are some of the most impressive and least visible of the ninja’s skills, you know that the noble warrior cannot devote himself wholly to the ways of war, lest he be lost to the savagery within them. No, you cannot be a combatant alone, and if you are to find enlightenment, the refined skills of wilderness living must also be understood.

Through the span of the following week, you devote yourself mind, body, and soul to the understanding of a wide breadth of working man’s trades. Survival, trapping, cooking, sewing, tannery, and carpentry alike- All things you never would’ve dreamed you could do before, but have now reached an understanding of even without applying your gifts. Your attentions are spread wide across each of the disparate disciplines and in some areas your studies progress little, but in some, namely cooking and sewing, you have a breakthrough. All the same, you don’t know if it would be wise to train with so little focus in the future.

In between the time you’ve spent on your surprisingly healthy hobbies honorable craftsmanship, you take to the trees, leaping and bounding between their limbs whilst striving to remain unseen. Forcing yourself to remain apart from the shadows is difficult but it can be, and is done, and while getting down the basics is tedious, when you manage to sneak up to a squirrel and snap its neck in one smooth motion, no reflexes involved, you feel enormous pride in the step you’ve taken. By this time next year, you’ll be strong and swift enough to do the same to any dishonorabru coward who would dare try and separate you from your waifu, let alone with your gifts!

Not to mention, your usual exercise yields the subtle, barely noticeable but just as planned improvements you’ve come to expect and savor. However, your trapping yields grievously little in the way of proper meat, and at this rate, you’ll be risking starvation next week. Such a risk is unacceptable, for it could see weeks of hard work vanish!

All the same, you feel most content, and as the sun sets on the seventh day, you realize that for the first time in living memory, you’ve spent your Halloween outdoors becoming stronger, instead of cooped up in your bedroom fapping to cosplayers and binge-eating Hershey's kisses and Rolos chocolates. The thought almost brings a tear to your eye, and as you sit cross-legged, polishing a spirit katana to an immaculate sheen, you ponder how mommy is doing in Florida, or for that matter, Brett and Martha all the way in Pheonix, Arizona. Thanksgiving won’t be too long now, and honorable ninja warrior or not, do you really want to spend it alone?

One last week of training (level up parkour) or head out to dispense justice, guys?

>>3553844
We are running out of food. I say we hunt a bear and wear it as a cloak. Because it's cool. Otherwise let's kill criminals on Thanksgiving as our gift to the world.

>>3553844
We should try to pop the ones that're close to leveling up: Knife 2, Willpower 6, Parkour 1.

Then we head out to pursue the path of justice.

>>3553909
Good point.

Seconding these, and if we can make kind of cloak out of a bear too, that’d be good. Not sure if our tanning/sewing is good enough yet.

>>3553802
There are several classification systems, roughly one per continent, but the one most commonly used by the UN and to a lesser extent, the US government is a simple tier system ranging from 1-20. Unlike a superhero, super-villain, or super-vigilante's overall power level, the threat level takes their skills, motivations, and mental health or lack thereof into account. For example, a powerful pyromancer that's a known pacifist with a history of cooperating with Federal authorities might be tier 3, but a confirmed serial torturer dishonorably discharged from the Delta Force and avowed member of the (In)voluntary Extinction Movement villain group might rank as high as 12, even if they only had a moderate healing factor. The danger classification system isn't an end-all-be-all, or an objective measurement of a super's power level, only an indication of the Federal interest in monitoring or, in some cases, apprehending them for the sake of public safety.

Derek Ian Edwards, AKA Ronin AKA Mr. D.I.E. is ranked at tier 14, because despite the fact that his identity is known to everyone in the country with a cellphone, he:
>attacked a homeless bum in a public park solely on the suspicion that he was dealing drugs, and stabbed him multiple times without hesitation until his death was confirmed
>managed to defeat the superhero that responded with no training, physical fitness, or proper equipment whatsoever, and upon doing so, eviscerated his child in front of a crowd without missing a beat, whilst shouting that he has the power
>has a completely unknown superpowerset, and managed to travel halfway across the country within a week, where the FBI confirmed him to be responsible for several brutal massacres and at least one case of arson
>completely vanished from the face of the earth the night before super-backed SWAT was prepared to raid the attic he'd been living in, leaving analysts paranoid he possesses some sort of advanced precognition
>is known to be a dangerously deluded narcissist with a messiah complex, repressed sadistic tendencies, and severe autism
>is infamous almost everywhere, and could potentially level his notoriety and force of personality into starting a bizarre cult or criminal gang

You're a dangerously loose end, to the point there's a 2.5 million dollar bounty for your capture, and a 1 million dollar bounty for your confirmed death. Their alarm has died down somewhat over the last two months of no activity, but there is at least one dedicated squad attempting to track you down before you inflict a public massacre or start actively dropping superheroes.

So if I'm getting this straight, you want to train, then go hunting once you've secured your temporary food supply?

>>3554451
hunt first then train we need food for those sick gains

So be it. Do you intend to use your superpowers to find a bear, or do you want to BE the Hakoge ninja warrior for no objective benefit?

Our powers are a part of us, let's use them

Nice. The superhuman reflexes and martial arts allow you to skin it without damaging the hide, but they can't help much with genuinely making something of it.

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys.

>>3554529
> 57 days of meat
Impressive, most, *most* impressive. In fact, that's impressive enough you're going to have to devise a way to preserve the bulk of the meat before it spoils. That said, from what ten minutes of online research indicate, bear hide takes roughly four weeks to tan, so you've got plenty of time to get prepped for handling it, and of course, Thanksgiving is imminent.

Could always smoke it.

No, not at all. Feels good man.

>>3554543
Smoking sounds good, not like we have any barrels of salt or the like.

>>3554543
Voting for this. Couldn't hurt to at least try to smoke it.

>>3554536
>>3554543
Yeah smoking the cuts is probably both the fastest and easiest way to do it. Drying would take too long and leave it exposed. I'm pretty sure we already have space for fire closer to/in the cave.

>>3554544
Checked. Also, you are cool.

>>3554536
Smoke the meat and train our knife, parkour and willpower.

Do you want to attempt to build a crude smokehouse somewhat similar to pic related, or do you want to skewer the meat and hope nothing else in the woods gets ahold of it in the sixteen or so days it'll take? Going by Unreal World here, because you're trying to get it to last almost indefinitely.

>>3554567
First I've got to finish cataloging everyone you've encountered or heard tell of in the two and a half to three months since your awakening, and combing through both threads takes a bit of time.

>>3554572
Fuck it, try the smokehouse. Even if it all goes wrong, we only need a week of food anyway.

>>3554572
Les try to Build a smoke house

>>3554572
Nah let's just skewer it. We can work on the hide/do our regular training regime while we watch it.

>>3554572
Worst case scenario we fuck up building the smokehouse and now have extra firewood. Or at least no less firewood.

So guys, i Think it is time to Maybe visit that Hearsstealler villian we heard about in the first thread, we need to kill her in the name of Justine, the Villains Will learn to fear the name RONIN

You'll have to carve wooden nails, but your [Carpentry] might keep it from being a slapdash wreck despite your lack of [Construction] skill.

>>3554572
Also unreal world, damn. Haven't played that game in a while. Good times.

Dwarf fortress' adventure mode is what I memorized. Unfortunately never got around to the based game, or really memorizing it rather. C:DDA is frickin sick, I personally find it extremely difficult. I recommend IVAN since its pretty easy to learn and is very memeable. same thing flies for liberty crime squad, even if it is an older game with a stranger (in my opinion) control scheme.

The DC to erect a functioning smokehouse was 16, congratulations, your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors would be proud. Unfortunately, I'll be busy for the afternoon and the update'll be coming later tonight, if it does today. In the meantime:

>>3554696
Because you can feel it too. The rush of curing meats and tanning hides under the scorching noontime sun; the exhilaration of working wood into waifu, carving out the form of your beloved as a small amulet; the commandments of your gender-neutral nonbinary trans-african ancestors, who see all and know all, and have chosen you to reveal the innermost secrets.

> Roll 1d6+2 for [Parkour] gains

Focusing on only one or two skills confers some hefty bonuses to experience gain, but focusing on multiple skills increases your grasp of many disciplines. Specialization and generalization both have their strengths and weaknesses, and it's up to you to decide which one you want to pursue.

Holy shid anons, you were serious. My apologies for the delay, but I figure if I'm going through the archives in search of supers to list, I ought to save time and write-up a Dramatis Personae consisting of every faction and character mentioned so far, like I should have from the beginning. It'll be ready either sometime tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I'll probably post the pastebin for it in the opening post of [Superpowered Neckbeard Quest, Episode Four].

Expect an update relatively soon though.

I am very much enjoying it, great to have you back OP

Anon?

>Derek Ian Edwards, AKA Ronin AKA Mr. D.I.E. is ranked at tier 14, because despite the fact that his identity is known to everyone in the country with a cellphone, he:
>attacked a homeless bum in a public park solely on the suspicion that he was dealing drugs, and stabbed him multiple times without hesitation until his death was confirmed
>managed to defeat the superhero that responded with no training, physical fitness, or proper equipment whatsoever, and upon doing so, eviscerated his child in front of a crowd without missing a beat, whilst shouting that he has the power
>has a completely unknown superpowerset, and managed to travel halfway across the country within a week, where the FBI confirmed him to be responsible for several brutal massacres and at least one case of arson
>completely vanished from the face of the earth the night before super-backed SWAT was prepared to raid the attic he'd been living in, leaving analysts paranoid he possesses some sort of advanced precognition
>is known to be a dangerously deluded narcissist with a messiah complex, repressed sadistic tendencies, and severe autism
>is infamous almost everywhere, and could potentially level his notoriety and force of personality into starting a bizarre cult or criminal gang
this is seriously the funniest description of a character I ever read

>>3555426
Of course anon, but it couldn't hurt ti reinforce our armor even further right?

>>3555433
That's what we're hoping to do some time in the future.
