Wilton wakes up in a cold sweat. He breathes a sigh of relief and leaves his home. He goes to the quarry and begins diffing out more stone. He knaps the stone, whittling it into shapes, to create a stone pick, a stone ax, and a stone club.

Using the stone ax he chopped down an oak tree. He began to chop the trunk up into sections and then into usable planks. Wilton popped dozens of planks into his inventory, went to his burrow, and lined the ground with the planks.

He took the bowl of covalence dust he had made and brings it out to the leather. He pops both the leather and the bladder into his inventory. He walks to the lake where he dunks the leather in the water, washes it, then rubs the covalence dust into it. Bark and charcoal infused with magic energies. Wilton thinks that should help tan the leather.

The halfling checks the strainer and finds there are a few stones in it, some clay, some gravel, and along the top are a bunch of goose and duck feathers. He cleans out the strainer so it can continue collecting things. There are a few deer on the otherside of the lake drinking from the body of water.

Wilton takes a minute to walk around the lake. He finds sugarcane so he snips it. Taking just the top to leave the stalks for more to grow. He pops the sugarcane into his inventory and continues on. He steps over some hopping frogs and eventually reaches a small outlet at the end of the lake. It seems the lake is low enough that barely a trickle is escaping from the outlet.

The halfling will have to figure out where this leads later. For now Wilton heads back to his home where he hangs up the leather hide and the bladder. By tomorrow both of those should be usable for more.
