A Villain In A World Of Heroes

As far as I know, there's no reason we can't just pitch a camp and stay for a week, sleeping in a tall tree and getting both solid and liquid sustenance from the things we kill. If we get stronger for each creature we devour, and assuming that we survive taking down this elk long enough to nom it, we could probably survive taking down many other things in this forest as well. We should only come back when we need something that we can't get in the forest, as long as we stay close enough to the edge that we can find our way back.
We want money for better stuff. A short sword ain't gonna cut it forever, and we want more spells, which we'll get from spellbooks.
 
@Dark Ness , our Icebolts... we move them at up to 40-45 MpH, yes? That means that when we conjure them they're just floating there. How much force can we continuously exert using an Icebolt? I mean, if we kept hold of the spell and hung a bag or something on it, assuming that it didn't slide off, how much could the Icebolt keep up with us concentrating before it went downwards against our will? And how many can we have floating at the same time?

You have no idea. (Seriously, the only test you did was "Can I cast it? Yes, I can.")

This is true, but we should still stay for a night or two. We're going at a pretty good pace, and I'd rather not lose that momentum. Plus, think about it. We come back to town drenched in blood, looking half-mad, and acting a bit like a predatory animal. That's going to attract Interest, from people, like criminals, which is something that would be very bad for us, because then we'd have to deal with them.

We should get strong enough that we'll definitely survive such interest from such people, because if there isn't a criminal underworld in this city that'll try to take advantage of an apparently young, desperate, and not-all-there/right-in-the-head girl then I'll eat my suspiciously waffle-cone shaped hat.
 
Haven't read it yet, explain?
Rou has the psychic ability to acquire abilities from eating things. From people, he gets skills they were good at, assuming he eats enough of and/or high enough level ones, also monsters count. He can also get abilities from magical objects, or weapons he's familiar with. The webnovel's translations explain it better than I.

Including liver and beans?
 
We're experienced at working leather, right? When we get a chance, we should try to work that pelt into something usable.

This is true. I wonder if we could set up a camp with the materials we've got on hand like that one guy suggested. A leather tent made from the pelt of an Elk Lord should be rather durable and warm at night.

Perhaps a canopy from the Elk, and both a set of warm clothes and a hammock from the wolf. Sleeping in a tree will let us live longer in the death forest.
 
Unfortunately, leather working requires tools, tools that burned in the fire. You need to buy more if you expect to work leather.
 
Why is anybody even considering sleeping out here in the death forest? We have, in less than one daylight cycle, run into a Fenric Wolf, something that can cut through metal like wet paper, and an Elk Lord, something with a crown of horns sharper than a sword and has regeneration. There is no way any self respecting death forest would allow us to sleep unmolested for X hours while we are covered in two types of blood and carrying raw meat and pelts.
 
Would liver and fava beans work?
You do know the whole liver and fava beans thing was a subtle psychology joke, don't you? They are two of the foods people are not allowed to eat when taking the medication that would most often be proscribed for Hannibal Lector's condition. Basically, he was hinting to Starling that he was not taking his meds.


And if we survive the elk, after we eat the heart, I suggest we leave the bodies somewhere away from us, and sleep in a tree, if we are staying in the forest overnight.

A point here: if we're staying, then we need to conceal our scent. I suggest burning a lot of leaves and then smearing ourselves with the ashes, as well as keeping a firepit surrounded by stones near the tree we'll be camping in. That'll mask the blood :V
