Propping the giant-rabbit carcass up against the crag wall, Maelicent pulls back its limbs and head to reveal its soft underbelly and begins to cut away the creature's sodden pelt. Cutting into the abdominal cavity the industrious goblin then disembowels the creature, tossing the viscera over the edge to land on the forest floor below. Stepping aside to allow the creature's fluids to drain down the cliff-face, Maelicent re-enters the cave. "That'll take a bit ta drain. Ya giants care for some roast haunch?"With some time to spare, the Gudwulf warrior clears the rubble from in front of the side-room's door to gain entry. Climbing into the darkened area beyond, Maelicent takes a few minutes to examine the cubby and its newer contents.[sblock=OOC]Search +0, taking 20 on the room and body. Aside from looking for concealed objects and hidden passageways, Mael is also seeking for vermin nests to clear out along with a way to hang long strips of meat inside the room; perhaps from hooks or stony protrusions if there are any, or by erecting a clothesline of sorts otherwise.I'm assuming that Mael's +8 Survival skill is sufficient to clean, dress, smoke and cook the giant-rabbit carcass.[/sblock]Once satisfied that the cubby will serve as a makeshift smoke-house, Maelicent exits the cave to resume his butchering task outside. The goblin first cuts away a haunch and, using one of the sticks he'd collected earlier, spits the meat for roasting over the fire he'd asked Voadam to build. The rest of the carcass Maelicent butchers into appropriately sized cuts of meat for smoking; moving each piece into the cubby as it is made ready.While the first haunch of giant-rabbit cooks over the open fire, Maelicent readies a few tight bundles of mallorn wood-chips and green leaves. Setting them on the cubby floor, the goblin carefully lights each so that they'll burn slow and without flame, while in turn producing thick smoke. Clearing out of the cubby, Maelicent closes the door behind him and carefully seals its edges tightly with strips from what was left of the cloth sack he'd started cutting up the previous evening.Maelicent then returns to check on the roasting haunch outside. When ready the Gudwulf warrior will begin dividing the cooked meat and passing some out to his giant-kin allies.</blockquote>
