Grunthor went with the first blow, taking some of its oomph out. He didn't have to be his old self to read what Auguz was going to do, he telegraphed horrendously. Same with the back hand, he turned with it to lessen the damage while also activating Tough. He still got hurt, he was a child getting smacked by an adult, but he didn't need to be battered and heavily bloodied for Auguz to get his message across. Don't do what you aren't told to do. Which a lot of people would probably abuse the hell out of.
His forehead was palmed and he was given his orders. Do whatever for the rest of the day, but be at the training area in the morning. "Little better than cavemen honestly, but it's to be expected. As for what to do, dunno really. I should probably meet all of the...I don't know what to call them. The leaders of the various sects I guess? I should probably see Bowbh first...since I'm naked and all." He mused before looking at the Unnamed Runt.
"Should probably know each others names, hey you is probably said a lot in this place. I'm Grunthor." He stated, it would most likely not be the last time they met and assisted each other in this camp. Because the player is a lazy ass he meets with Bowbh, revealing the goethite ore and gets the Mining Quest along with a Loaned Pick. He also traded the eight Giant Ven Spider Legs for a Well-Made Stone Knife. Tools weren't a bad thing to have, especially ones that could be used as weapons.
The player is still a lazy ass and Grunthor meets Shamar and takes on the task to catch fish. He had seen how fishing is done but it wasn't something he had done before. Worst comes to worst, he'll figure out another way of getting fish so he can get some clothes without having to steal them from a fellow runt. Cuz aside from his Leather Gloves, he's helicoptering all over the place. With his Side-Quests in place he found a corner near the huts, kept his stash of stuff in his lap, and fell asleep. He was a guy, even as a kid he slept in odd places at times.
He awoke with the dawn and went to the Training Area like he had been instructed the previous day. Familiar faces, non-familiar faces, either way they were all forced to exercise like the most basic bitch caveman boot-camp imaginable. He made sure to pace himself, no point destroying himself in the morning to be useless for the rest of the day. After exercises it was sparring with the various weapons made of wood to apparently cause as little damage as possible but still teach through pain to not be a fuck up.
Since there wasn't anything really useful for him beyond leather strips to act as some sort of binding cestus, he picked up two shields. Oversized highly defensive knuckle-dusters! He waited for the signal while eying his portly opponent who blitzed in as soon as the signal was given. A full body wide swing, as telegraphed as a haymaker. He brought both shields up on that side so the blow scraped up along the slope. He stepped in when the weapon lifted away from the slabs of wood and held onto the grip tight before punching the other Runt in the chest with the edge of the shield with a good bit of force.
