Lomen was glad that a few shook his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I am glad that this greeting was peaceful. Enough life has been lost already." "Well since the young ones approve I cant argue all of you please get inside so I can get a look at those wounds. After hearing a small thud, Lomen noted that Shiba was not in danger and seemed to have only gone off to sleep.
"My name is Yan-took. Is there anyone who wants to go hunt with me?" "I will accompany, Yan-took. Let us try to strike fast and strong. Though we need food, we need rest as well." Lomen took a deep breath in as his expression changed to one of more focus rather than worry. He looked over the goblins that seemed to be willing to hunt as if to analyze what their possible personal strengths were. With that done he wove his hands together thinking about how to go about hunting in the most efficient way as possible. In truth he was nervous about what would happen with the new additions being in less than optimal shape, coupled with the fact that all goblins accept grandpa were still relatively young and inexperienced. Even with a few hunts under his belt, Lomen still considered himself to be fairly inexperienced and the pressure forced him to sit down, his expression now harsh as he came to a consensus.
"Ok so I have two plans for hunting and right now I am saying I would prefer to hunt in a group. Although that is the safer option, the other is to split up as we go to the hunting grounds. First option, we stay together and try to hunt down as much prey as a group. Where this is safer, it might cause us to be easily noticed and avoided by prey. Second option with splitting up would allow us to cover more ground and possibly gather more food. The only problem is that with smaller groups comes more risk and with some of us inexperienced and some in weary condition, the risk only gets higher." Standing up Lomen took a few breaths to relax for a moment before going into more detail. Mainly for himself so he could loosen up a bit before getting down to business.
"If we split into two groups, I need to be in one group and the other needs to have Zectol. This way each group has an individual familiar with the hunting areas and also how to get back home from them. I propose that Yan-took, Tsku, and Skubli accompany Zectol. Idus and Luz would accompany myself, Lomen. That way I think the parties mix of abilities, experience, and health balance out. Again, I still recommend hunting in one group." As he was talking, Lomen walked over to Skubli and gave him the Alpha rabbit horn. Namely so Skubli could also have at least something as a weapon. Plus he had the tusk, bark shield, and wooden stick already.
"We can decide whether to split up or not when we approach the hunting grounds. Also, if we have time left, Gather some berries, they will be needed for medicine and food. Some bushes are on the way home, just don't eat the yellow ones. Prepare yourselves and lets head out while we can." Lomen then made sure he had all his gear, including bag, before turning to Grandpa and Stegs.
"When I come back, maybe I can learn how to make some medicine? It would be best if more knew how to make medicine. Until then, lets hunt!" With that said, Lomen made his way forwards, looking back to make sure he was not going alone, but also to possibly make everyone move towards the hunt so they could gather food as fast as possible.
