[11:20]  Kutai: its dry now
[11:20]  Kutai: it however rained long during the day
[11:20]  Hakimba: yes last days it was rainy.
[11:20]  Kutai: so the bosks have good grass
[11:21]  Hakimba: they will prosper
[11:21]  Kutai: yes, but we need to slaugther some too
[11:22]  Kutai: our storage of dried meat is low since that larl stole many
[11:22]  Nadi: aaahh Mistress is working on that Master....we have replacing it slowly
[11:22]  Hakimba: yes we need meat for cooking and for the provisions
[11:23]  Hakimba: then lets work on it that bloody job
[11:23]  Kutai sees the river gulls flying high "hehe those nasty birds are better guards then any outrider, there must be one at the fishers house
[11:24]  Nadi: cants her head looking towards the dock....the gull screaming their annoying cries
[11:24]  Hakimba: the gulls announce anybody coming here
[11:25]  Kutai: exactly
[11:25]  Kutai: well we keep an eye on it while we pick some good bosks
[11:28]  Kutai walks to a young bosk. a smaller exemplar "i suggest we take this male one first, its young, so the meat is fresh. Its a small fellow, so it is not fit for breeding, we need the best bulls for that
[11:28]  Nadi: gulps drawing back from her Master's sword...cast her ramberry eyes to the grass....not watching
[11:29]  Hakimba: yes this one will have good tender meat.. not the acid smell of a ripe male beast
[11:30]  Kutai grinses at Nadi "maybe you may havea bite of the boskballs, thats a delicates Torvies made "boskballs in grease"
[11:30]  Nadi wrinkles her nose..."yes Master, I could prepeare it for you an My Master."
[11:31]  Hakimba grins.. well Kuati you may kill the beast
[11:31]  Nadi Zsun: clicks her tongue thinking of the delicacy the Master speaks of...making an awful face...sits quietly.
[11:33]  Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) draws his scimitar and talks soft words to the bull, comorting it
[11:34]  You decline City of Thentis, btb Gorean RP from A group member named Marcus Galbreus.
[11:34]  You decline City of Thentis, btb Gorean RP from A group member named Marcus Galbreus.
[11:34]  Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) stands near the young bull, and scratches its back, such movements bosks like, because of the fleas it often itches there
[11:35]  Nadi turns her face away...not having the stomach for butchering. nadi is happy the outriders have that job. Even though her food is only slave gruel, she is happy that the meat nourishes the Free who she serves
[11:36]  Kutai suddenly stabs the bosk bull in the main vein, slicing that open so the blood spurts out, he jumps aside so the trampling hoofs of the falling bosk does not hit him
[11:38]  Hakimba: a perfect hit Kutai the beast is killed with one singel cut
[11:38]  Nadi sobs hearing the animal cry out. The smell of hot blood filling the air, nadi swoons...almost falling to the grass.

[11:40]  Kutai watches how the bosks tumbles, dying instantly by the perfect blow, the eyes break and become immobile, the hoofs make some last spasmic movements then drop still
[11:40]  Hakimba: hmmm now kahiga could be of use pulling the beast to the wagons
[11:41]  Kutai: even Kahiga can not do that, but he can cut of the meat and give it to the slaves to spice and hang at the drying racks
[11:41]  Hakimba: yes ... shall we kill one more?
[11:42]  Nadi listens agreeing....thinking where did I put the tanning rack this bosk has a nice hide ....will be good for many things
[11:42]  Kutai nods a no "better see how much meat this one gives, we don't have that many slaves to work on it
[11:43]  Kutai: lets lay it for some hours and then let it be cut into meat
[11:44]  Hakimba: yes true and i will corrupt if we butcher too much
[11:44]  Nadi: the wildlife will not be drawn to the blood smell Master. A wild larl or birds?
[11:44]  Lady Kusa (oookusama.hirano) is Offline
[11:45]  Kutai: good idea, we will ask a kajirus to guard it with a stick
[11:45]  Nadi: yes Master....looks toward the camp for one of the kajirus
[11:45]  Hakimba: thats better.. i dont want to shre the meat woith the wild beasts
[11:46]  Kutai: no
[11:46]  Kutai: wild animals foul the meat often
[11:46]  Kutai: they spray it with their stnking juices, specially sleen seem to do that
[11:47]  Hakimba: yes. the tear it apart into the dirt
[11:47]  Nadi gulps thinking of the smell of the blood drawing wild sleen to the camp...shivers drawing closer to her Master
[11:49]  Hakimba: hmmm i will look for kahiga.. he is strong so he will be able to defend the meat against any beast

[10:11]  Aphris: follow me Byk
[10:13]  Aphris: ths bosk is slaughtered by Kutai and Hakimba
[10:13]  Byk: A lot meat i see
[10:14]  Aphris: yes it is, but we need it, a larl stole our meat
[10:15]  Byk nods "I understand Mistress"
[10:16]  Aphri gives him a cutting knife "I want you to skin the animal and cut of long stripes of meat
[10:17]  Byk: "May i eat piece of meat Mistress?
[10:17]  Aphris: "no Byk, thats not allowed, besides its raw meat, you can get ill"
[10:18]  Byk takes cutting knife and looks at dead animal. He turns his head at Mistress and nods.
[10:19]  Aphris: "open the belly first and lay the inner organs apart, the kajirae can seperate the eatable parts from the uneatable"
[10:22]  Byk walks closer to the dead body of bosk. He moves head with knife up and thrusts it in bosk. He opens his belly very slowly. Turns his head back"Good Mistress?"
[10:24]  Aphris nods "go on, stick your arms in side and get the organs out"
[10:26]  Byk puts his hands inside and tries takes away all organs. He breaths faster, but after a long moment some organs are outside.
[10:27]  Aphris nods satisfied
[10:28]  Byk: "Its looks horrible Mistress"
[10:29]  Aphris: "now cut the belly till the bosks arsh, and tll its troat, then slap asside the sides"

[10:33]  Byk nods and takes all organs away. He moves his hand up and rubs his forehead. He walks around dead body and do rest of duties very careful. Sometimes strighten up and looks at his owner.
[10:34]  Aphris orders him with the air of an expert cook "cut away half cm thick strpes of the meat, each strip about 20 cm long an between 5 - 10 cm thick
[10:36]  Byk: "Its must be accurately that length? What if I mistaken?"
[10:39]  Aphris: not accurate
[10:39]  Aphris: about
[10:39]  Aphris: but not bigger, smaller is allowed, it may not be to thick, since then it does not dry well in wind and sun
[10:40]  Byk puts hands on the rest of the body and starts cutting a pieces of meat. He do it very slowly to make it in good length. Takes a deep breath"It not smell so good Mistress"
[10:41]  Aphris: its raw meat, but once it has dried its excellent food
[10:42]  Byk continued cutting a pieces of meat. He makes slowly moves and after a long moment can see a lot of meat strips near him.
[10:43]  Aphris: "good work, thats enough for now. Pick up the stripes and bring them to my wagon
[10:44]  Byk leans down and takes a pieces of meat. He slowly walks to the wagon.
[10:44]  Aphris: drop them here
[10:45]  Heiner Daviau leans down and puts meat strips near wagon. He straighten up and smiles.
[10:45]  Aphris: we have to salt them
[10:45]  Heiner Daviau: Mistress may i beg Your for permission to do something?
[10:45]  Aphris Myoo: lets go to the mine and get a bucket of it
[10:46]  Aphris Myoo: yes, we can salt later

[10:53]  Byk: Who work here Mistress?
[10:55]  Aphris: laborers from Turia
[10:58]  Aphris gives him the empty bucket "fill the bucket with salt"
[10:59]  Byk takes bucket and puts inside a salt from the mine. Its a little heave, so he walks slowly with the bucket.
[10:59]  Aphris sees that he has difficulties with theweight since the salt is not completely dry
[10:59]  Aphris: half a bucket will do
[11:00]  Byk nods and takes some salt away. Then he walks with her.

--walk to camp-------

[11:04]  Byk puts bucket with salt on the ground. Then straighten up and crossed his arms.
[11:06]  Aphris takes the bucket and throws the salt over a repclothed sheet at the grass, she spreads it evenly and then lays the pieces of meat on the sheet in the salt "salt will preparate the meat against rotting, sun and wind will do the rest and make it dry, so dry wecan eat it
[11:06]  Byk: Me too Mistress?
[11:07]  Aphris: no. i can manage this alone, this is precise work
[11:07]  Aphris let the meat 5 minutes at one side in the salt then carefully turns them around
[11:09]  Byk: I see Mistress. I clean Your wagon later.
[11:10]  Aphris: wash your self , you are sweaty, and i see salt crusts and animal remnants at your skin
[11:11]  Byk: Yes Mistress, as You wish
[11:11]  Aphris finishes the salting of the meat, she then hangs the meat at the rack, in the right positon so they get maximum influence of the wind and the summer sun
