Perks none.

I'm not taking another chance like this with suck bad luck.

Alright time to clean this place up.

(I take all the bodies outside and loot them I mostly find money ammo and other valuables, after im done lookting them I pick them up and stack them on the cart, After I go back inside and clean all the blood and dirt on the blankets, When I finish I starts heading to the cellar.

Alright time to do some exercise I'll start with 100 pushups 100 squats and one hundred pull ups I'll do 4 sets of each.

When im done im completely covered in sweat, i i decide to goe outside with a bucket to get some water for the tub as the tub gets filled up I get in

Gg-ggo-oo-oodd-d-d "God" this is cold.

(Ding).

Due to extreme training your stats have gone up and you have gained a passive perk.

+1 Strength

+1 Endurance

+1 willpower

Thermal resistance level 1 with this you can stay relatively warm in cold or endure hot weather, the higher the level the colder/hotter the environment you can handle.

Nice I Just thought this would be a good way to relax my muscles.

(An hour later after the cold bath)

I decided to get out and put on some clothes, eats some canned beans with crackers and goe to sleep for the day.

(Im exhausted)

When morning comes I repeats the same cycle Im able to workout but this time i can do120 of everything before my body is exhausted and cant continue, I feel my strength coming back and my breath relaxing in a matter of seconds so I then take a cold shower and eat breakfast, I go outside and feel less cold as for my exhaustion its completely gone.

The cold outside has been reduced and inside i feel like theirs a heat like when you drink hot cocoa

( Im about to head out but stop).

I sees a horse with a part black part native man on it.

Arthur (the man says).

Hey Charles, how's the hand.

It's coming along want to go hunting with me, we don't have much food at camp and I'm guessing neither do you.

Yea I'm running out since the O'Driscoll's ate most of it but you can't hunt with that hand and if i use my gun well scare every animal for miles around and I dont know how to use a bow too well.

Its fine ill teach you It's never too late to learn (He says with a smile while giving me a bow and some arrows).

I Take the bow and put it on me and stick the arrows to my belt so I can grab them easily.

Alright let's go.

Let me get my horse.

Ok ill wait here

(I go to the barn take my horse and close the barn and ride of behind Charles).

So, where we going? (I ask).

You'll see (says Charles).

I follow him for a while and we start talking, here and there.

I ask him how he's feeling trying to get close to him, I'll need some "close friends" and he was close to Arthur in the game, soon we find some deer tracks, Charles gets off his horse and signals me to follow.

I get off my horse and crouch down I take the bow and an arrow, (Charles says the same thing as in canon).

We follow the tracks and spot a deer after a few minutes.

Ok Arthur pull the bow back with the arrow aim at the a little higher than the head or heart and take a deep breath now hold it and shoot.

(I do as he says when I feel ready I let go the arrow hits the dear from the back of the head, the arrow pierces its skull and bam down the deer goes).

Nice let's see if we can get another one as we pass by and look for more, I see some plump rabbits I aim my bow and shoot at three while as I use Dead Eye I hit all three since I was close enough must be the added luck plus the weapon Mastery.

I feel a bit tired and hungry but I keep going, I pick up the rabbits and put them in my satchel we look around some more, Charles finds another dear I take aim and shoot I miss it passes just above its head I use Dead Eye, I use all my speed and strength to fire one quickly the dear starts running slowly before Dead Eye is up I fire and the dear takes the arrow on its right thigh it stumbles to the ground.

(As I run after the tumbling body I slip and fall with on it and use my knife to stab its throat).

(Nice save Arthur).

Thanks that was close.

Alright let's call our horses.

I whistle and hear it echo all through the mountain with some galloping from far away after a minute later, I see me and Charles horse come running

I get the dear and put it on my horse, we go to where we left the other dear and I help Charles put it on his horse.

Thanks Arthur.

I should be thanking you with this, I'll get to eat, and I learned something helpful plus I've been bored.

Hahaha No problem let's do this again sometime.

Anytime partner lets head back to camp and get those people something to eat.

Alright come on.

(As we head back we see the bear).

Charles looks at it and says it's probably looking for food we should go around.

Well if I can kill it the gang can eat and well for a long time.

It's a hard shot and bears don't go down easily says Charles, don't worry I got this i reply.

Arthur this is dangerous.

The bigger the danger the bigger the reward and i need a blanket that doesn't have blood stains.

Besides you might be a master of bows but I'm the master of guns.

I get off my horse and get my rifle, if I'm quick I can use Dead Eye long enough to shoot it 7 times in the skull piercing its brain.

(I say in my head yin yang is this better be good enough for your entertainment)

I get walk to the bear after getting close enough he smells me got about 70 feet in between us he comes running I aim.

65ft.

50ft.

30ft.

25ft.

(I hear Charles yelling). Arthur SHOOT!!!

I use Dead Eye and rapid fire seven times at its head

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

The bear falls and skids to my feet I put my foot on its head and look back and yell out what'd I tell you I'm the master of guns. "hahahahahaha"

Charles rides his horse to me gets off it and comes to check the bear Arthur your insane that was too close.

Yeah but now we have food for weeks and I get a nice blanket and a good story to tell the camps.

Charles laughs and how are we going to take this back, easy lead my horse to the camp bring all the men and a wagon with two horses and some rope also some wood to use as a ramp.

Alright I'll try to be as fast as possible says Charles as he gets on his horse and leaves leading mine.

Perks

Thermal resistance level one

Hmmm, it looks like deer are worth 3xp and rabbits only one.

Alright let's see how strong I am.

(I say out loud).

As I go to the bear and try to lift it I get half of the bear about an inch of the ground before I let go of exhaustion, damn this is heavy.

I wonder how strong I need to be to lift the whole thing.

After about 30 minutes I see 6 men 5 on horses one on a wagon, hey boys what took you so long

Dutch rides being followed by Hosea, Bill, Lenny, Micah, and Charles, Dutch gets off his horse and says Arthur you have out done yourself this'll feed us for about a week or two and with the deer's we might just survive this mountain.

Hey, the meats for the camps I want its fur, the heart and the liver.

Alright their yours my boy.

Thanks now let's get this fat hairy bastard on the wagon.
