That is a lot of weight.[/gm][ooc]1 brick ~= 1 pound[/ooc]Maka -Taylar says,Vittero bobbles his head back and forth once."You are not having any? At least we brought some rations with use, then. Ooh! If I eat Raven's portion, I wonder if I will grow up to be as big as Taylar?"Taylar stretches and looks around.Vittero laughs."You are joking! You would kill some burro that tried to carry you... but on that thought, this is a whole lot of meat to carry. Having a pack animal would be really useful."Vittero takes the intestines from one of the pigs and stretches them between two trees until it becomes a taut line."Hopefully we can get some replacement bow strings from this and it will give us a way to tie the meat into baldrics."[gm]Seeing Vittero do such brings another benefit to Maka's mind. He takes the four stomachs and cleans them as best he can, then fills them with air tying off both ends. His hope is that if they will keep until returning to town perhaps they can be properly cleaned and turned into waterskins.[/gm][gm]After about 3 hours, the distinct sounds of some peculiar creatures can be heard approaching from downwind. The sound is odd, not something anyone has heard before.[/gm]</blockquote>
