Chapter 5: Survival: Food
Jess sets up Ava again. They're in a Gurrathian forest.
Jess: Now, we will consult a master slayer and huntress, Mel, on how to catch food on the Gurrathian homeplane!
Mel: Thank you, Jess. Now, the key thing about hunting these creatures is that the smaller they are, the more venomous, ranging from 2 millimeters with poison that could kill off a city to 90 meters long with no venom at all, so it is advised that you go for the creatures that are more than 90 meters long. Now most of them are carnivores, which you can still go after, as carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores on this plane are all equally dangerous. *sees a beast the size of a football field with long front legs, short legs, a wide mouth, and a spiked tail* Ah, look! Some dinner! Now the key to catching giants like these is by staying low and camouflaged. Use the disguises John taught you in the shelter part. *puts on the camo* Let's go-a-huntin'!
Mel sneaks up on the beast, who is completely unaware of her. When the beast lowers its tail, Mel runs to it and up it, and goes toward the neck. The beast sees her and tries to shake her off, but Mel stabs a pickaxe in its back as well as a knife so as to hold on, and the beast thrashes even more. She keeps climbing it like a rock climber, pickaxe, knife, pickaxe, knife, until she reaches its neck. Then, she cuts an opening in the neck with her knife, climbs through the opening, and cuts the spinal cord of the beast, killing it. It falls down, and she climbs out.
Mel: So basically, climb these beasts like you would mountains, cut an opening to its vital organs, then take the organs out. It's disgusting, so make sure to wear gloves, and possibly a diving apparatus and fishbowl helmet to breathe while swimming through any blood.
Mel: Then, gut it! Make sure to take the muscles for the food, since the heart and other internal organs are inedible. You're next, Noob!
Noob: *pukes* Urrgh, I'm doing water, right?
Mel: Yes.
