Briana talked about the event leading to meeting the tiger and cubs. They had collected the metal safely and it wasn’t even half a mile away from them and ready to pick up. It all started when they decided to go check out the traps to be more helpful. They were checking and resetting the traps after gathering the quarry today. They were feeling disappointed finding such few wild game from the traps and hoped to find something in the last few traps.

It was on these last few traps that disaster stuck, they weren't paying any attention and were attacked by a tiger. Luckily, Elrish was quick on his feet and near a large game trap that the tiger triggered it only giving him that single wound. Its luck was really poor, having the trap snap around its neck strangling it.

At that point, she helped get Elrish out of the way and Arben used his spear to stab the tiger in the neck repeatedly. It soon died by choking on this blood and they decided to bring it back with Elrish and come back for the soil.

When they moved forward though they heard mournful cries nearby and Arben did a quick search and came up with four cubs. He then remembered that Urist wanted to raise more pets so he brought them back to see how he wanted to deal with them.

Although he was quite mad that Elrish had gotten injured it wasn't their fault for getting attacked by a tiger. Despite there large frames they could be quite sneaky and lay in ambush.

Since it was near the trap Urist guessed that some blood must have settled on the trap drew the tigers attention. Through that was just a guess it might have just been hunting for food in the area for its cubs.

Whatever the case may be, he knew that the dangers would grow with each day. Maybe instead of one full-grown tiger, there might be two that attacked next time.

Still, from this event, they had gained four tiger cubs and since they had a tamer it would be good to use them. Urist checked with Reaver and was given the a-ok in her ability to tame them since they were quite young.

She also said that she could add extra service since they were strong creatures. She could add a mark that'll allow the cubs to grow faster.

When asked in detail how they would grow faster, she replied that if the tigers ate a creature's body. It would gain life essence that could then be used to grow their bodies into adults at an explosive rate.

That wasn't all to the spell, it could also turn a normal creature into a magical creature. Unfortunately, this spell couldn't be used on dwarfs to awaken their magic talents it would instead make them explode into gore.

After gaining all that information Urist left it to Reaver to train the tigers and dogs as hunting companions. The dogs have been lazing around doing nothing in camp since they were more of watchdogs.

Urist gnashed his teeth at the thought, "It was time for them to learn there keep!"

Now deciding on using the dogs it would best to now name since it would be a problem to name them Dog one and Dog two. With that thought, the question was what to name them.

Urist was mulling deeply over this question and decided to do what he always did for animals he got in games.

To have their names start with R.

The dogs that were male and female were Rolo and Rona respectively. For the tigers they check and there were two males and two females.

The largest of the bunch was a female and named Rama and was more black striped then orange. The next two were around the same size were male and female and were named Rain and Rocka had the usual pattern of tigers.

For the runt of the litter, he was a little special being a white tiger with clear blue eyes he got the name, Rex. With that handled Urist turned his attention to the next problem.

What to do with the mother tiger?

That was the question on his mind. He didn't feel quite right to skin it and eat its meat in front of the cubs. He sighed for his soft-heartedness and decided to sell the corpse on the market.

With so much meat and materials on the tiger, it should fetch a good price on the market. Although he wouldn't eat the tiger he wasn't a fool to bury such a treasure it would be a waste.

Sending of the tiger off Urist said a prayer before exiting the cave. Looking at the timer, there was still some time in the day. They should have enough to make the kiln and fire it so they could finally start on metal production.

Only he decided to first to check on Uri's farm to see how far she had progressed. He noticed that Lun and Ariel had put in some work around the garden putting in a bamboo fence to keep the goats out from eating the sprouts.

With their mother now tamed she wouldn't run away so the kids just hung around her. Reaver had set some rules for her not to venture any farther then the fence and have them free reign in the area.

Urist heard Uri's full displeasure of the goats and questioned if they couldn't kill them. It took some time to cool her down and a cup of goats milk helped bridge the gap.

"This is quite tasty! And it came from that accursed goat?! I guess I can forgive them for now..."

Such a quick change in attitude left Urist almost speechless.

"As expected of milk it can tame even an angry farmer. Hm, let us hope for more goats to turn up to have more milk!"

Urist said a silent prayer and then left Yri to her own devices after learning the farm was going quite well. Finished chatting with Uri, Urist checked his timer in his head and smiled.

It was time to make the kiln.
