@ERode Rather than stuff exploding into coins and whatnot, yes it's basically carving stuff out of other stuff. Monster Hunter style--including everyone's favorite Desire Sensor ;)
An Orc Runt's "everyday strength" is about as strong as an average 12 year old on an adrenaline rush. So carrying a single Elwet, or even 2 at a time, is definitely doable. Carrying one would make climbing, fighting, etc more difficult, obviously. Can't just shove it into a Hammerspace Inventory...yet.
After looking that up, I can say with certainty I have a lack of desire for a Desire Sensor. That being said, will be interesting to see what can be carved up from this first batch of Elwet. lol. XD
@Crusader Lord You FOOL, your lack of desire for the Desire Sensor guarantees you will have it! Every MonHun player knows that to get the carves you must cease to want them! Only through this enlightenment can you complete your armor set!
Also Orcs can eat stuff raw about the same as any wild animal can, but whether they like the taste is up to preference. Are they more likely to get sick, maybe so, but they're also far more adapted to it than the modern "jaws can't even hold all our teeth" human is.
Could i join this roleplay thread? I would like to play an elf that joins up with them.
Unfortunately, we're full at the moment and there are some others who've expressed interest if spots ever open up who would be ahead of you on the list. What's more, the premise of the RP is that players take on the role of Orcs, specifically, even if they end up evolving into other creatures later on. So a character starting out as an elf wouldn't really work. My apologies.

I am sorry, sensei, for not believing in your enlightened words. A shamefur dispray. (T_T)
And thanks! Was honestly curious about that sort of thing, and what it might play some small part in for the stories of other races. Like "IT BIT OFF THE HEAD AND DRANK ITS BLOOD LIKE A JUICE BOX" when they recount witnessing orcs hunt or something equally as horrifying to civilized ears.
Ayo sweet cheeks, could me and Unknown get a little progress report from you as we wander up towards wherever our destination is? I plan on posting soon and want to meaningfully get something done in my next post,so perhaps some results about our travel to the cave and/or material gathering along the way?
I'll have you know my cheeks are solid as a rock and not in anyway sweet, thank you! The Demon King NEVER skips leg day!
As Gren looked around for material that could be used for cordage, and for woods that might serve in weapon crafting, he found only short leafed, scrubby grasses this close to the camp but many tall trees. If he went deeper into the forest, he would likely improve his chances of finding things like vines and fibrous plants to use for ropemaking, but no doubt there were plenty of dangerous things in there, too. Of the trees around them, he could only deduce that some seemed very similar to hardwoods like oak, while others resembled pine or fir. They were quite tall, and some were almost as thick around as the Runt himself, but many of their branches were out of his reach…unless he wanted to take the risk of climbing.
However, one tree in particular looked promising. Its main truck was about as big around as an average human’s thigh, but only grew up to around six or seven feet. This trunk put out smaller branches that reached a bit higher, with those at the bottom being thicker than the ones at the top—ranging from the thickness of a finger to a wrist. The fullest branches also held small clusters of round, green, woody-shelled nuts. Gren would be able to climb a tree like this if he wanted to take a smaller, springier branch or just cut one of the thicker, hardier boughs from near its base.
And, was that…What luck! Something green and vine-like wound about the tree’s trunk and branched out onto one of the limbs! Gren couldn’t see where it ended or started, but maybe if he could pull it off the tree he’d have the cordage he wanted?
Meanwhile, when Vola looked in the direction she assumed to be North, she would see that the orcs’ settlement was essentially on the bottom of a wide, ramping valley that only went a short distance vertically up the mountain base—but being backed into the rockface at least seemed like a good defensive strategy. The rocks to the north of the camp looked scalable, with switchback trails over ledges and a few worn paths that could be seen even from a distance. Both sides of the valley stretched tall enough that, as she craned her neck back and blinked against the haze in the sky, Vola would be able to make out snow atop several peaks and a few that even reached cloud cover.
Then, as she watched, among some of the rocks not far from the two Runts’ position, something small and furry—at least, it looked small from this distance—emerged and began scampering over the ridge. It would’ve been easy to mistake for a large squirrel or even a racoon…save that its tail was pink and hairless. If they didn’t give chase soon, though, it would likely disappear among the crags and crannies in the rock…

Dope, I can work with this. I'm going to guess that green thing is actually a snake or something equally freaky, so with @Unkown58 permission Imma take the stone axe and hack off some pieces of the snake vine. If it really is just vine it should be okay and Gren only needs like maybe two or three feet to make some use of it. And if it's a snake hey, breakfast. Assuming Gren isn't suddenly fighting for his life, he'll also try and cut through one of the thicker branches. They can whittle it down into something more manageable while they walk.
@Lucius Cypher@Unkown58 Feel free to post again since you have more to go from now, but I'm going to try to do just one short response per player/group to keep everyone on the same timeline.
@ERode@King Cosmos I can do a short response for you two, but since the Elwet that fled your group ran into Rik, I'd like to see if @SubjectVision is currently working on anything?
@Kazemitsu also, have you got anything in the works? Might be better for yours to go up and that way your whole group can get one response together.
@ReusableSword@Such A Birch I have confirmation via PM that @Guy0fV4lor is working on his post, but if your group chooses not to see what all the hubbub his character's making is or just want to go ahead and jump in there, feel free!
@Crusader Lord Your shamefur dispray is forgiven...for now! *sweeps demon king cape ominously*
Once Zeroth gets something out for us trying to get the fire going, Lazash will suggest something called 'cauterizing'. Not push for it, but certainly suggest the idea.
(She'd introduce herself after your character did, but I can include that in a mini-flashback when I post again after the GM post at least.)
Not today, unfortunately, this time of a new month is rather hectic at my job. It will likely be Wednesday or Thursday before I've had enough spare time to get a proper update finished. At that time, though, regardless of whether everyone in the RP has posted or not, I'll go ahead and make a full GM post to move everything along.

@Guy0fV4lorOh it's nothing like it used to be, believe me. But on Tuesdays and Thursdays I teach my Karate class and on Mondays I meet with a group of IRL friends, all of this after the typical 9-5 day, so it's just a case of me burning a candle from both ends and spearing an incense stick through the middle too.
1x Thank
