I'd prefer something fancier like Georgia, for example.
I'd prefer something simpler like Trebuchet MS, for example.

The annoying one takes the lead as the two of you head off to this so-called lake, leaving the Stix and the large tree behind. You still weren't sure what she was selling, or what those 'Blueflowers' were.

You soon see the clearing with the boulder, and there's an arrow carved onto the large hunk of stone for some reason or another. The annoying one remembers that past this is the lake.

Soon, the two men bump into another woman on the way to the lake through the forest. Her hair is of a crystal blue, and she seems to be part of the group, seemingly looking for water. Looks like she was in luck.

After some crunchy footsteps through the leaves and plants of the forests, dirt was coating the trio's bare feet, but the lake was now in sight. Clear, crystal water, surrounded by a neat grassland before it branched back into woodland again. A bright, golden orb reflected from the water's surface. You'd found it: a water source.

Location Added: The Lake

By the side of the large lake, you can see one of the other survivors seemingly being gifted furs by an old man with a fishing rod.

You take the furs given to you by Hook, before the kind old man returns to fishing in his spot. Footsteps are heard behind you, and you turn around to see a trio of the fellow survivors by the dry grass patch. Looks like they found the lake, too. 

Note Added: Hook
+1 Medium Fur Pelt Acquired!

You head back, going past the blue flower and white butterflies again, following the trail of branches that you broken off.

After more exploring, you stop dead in your tracks, realizing a huge crack in the lands. Tree stumps with splintered wood around the edges of it were hanging limply off the sides of this crack, with damp moss growing on the side of the clammy, whitish stone walls. It seemed to be a ravine, descending into darkness below. You weren't sure how deep the ravine was, but jumping down definitely wouldn't be a good idea.

Note Added: The Ravine

The trees seem to be thinning out. You have a feeling you're starting to leave the forest.

The female of the two approaches the grave, having a closer look at the grave and kneeling down. Upon closer inspection, beside the blue flower there seems to be a small doll resting against the side of the grave. It seems to be a small figurine of a tough, gruff man holding a battleaxe.

HWHASWAROT, or Haswarot for short, lays next to the flower, putting his face almost right next to the flower. The white butterfly seems curious, and perches on your nose as you study the flower.

The blue flower seems to have a very slight glow to it, with small and somewhat fluffy bright blue petals. It stood almost perfectly upright, a thin white stalk holding it up, and the flower seemed to emit a slight hum as it swayed in the wind. What a pretty flower.

You grab the nearest object, which happens to be a small chunk of wood. It felt pretty light, so it would be perfect for creating a distraction.

You throw it in a random direction. [18]. Great throw! With a strong arm, you hurl the wooden chunk and it rustles through the forest floor, causing the red dog to grunt and growl, distracting it from snuffling the air as it bounds towards the rustling noise.

Phew... that was close.
Note Added: Red dogs (Aggressive)

Your eyes dull and pretty bored of waiting, you look around for anything that you could use as bait. Unless rabbits secretly loved to eat sticks, it didn't look like there was anything good around.

[3] You give a yawn as you keep watching the trap after a while; still nothing.

[15]You're about to give another yawn, until you realize what you've finally been waiting for: a rabbit, cluelessly strolls under your trap, trying to re-enter the rabbit hole. You tug on the cordage with all your might, even if it is pretty hard with your small arms.

[11] The cordage whines as you tug on it, and the rabbit seems to notice it, starting to turn away! At the last second, the large rock crunches the back half of the rabbit, just as it was about to get away.

The back half of its body crushed, the rabbit whines in pain, its ears twitching in horror. There's no way it could get away now, let alone move.

Being the awesome craftsman that you were, you get straight to work on creating some more useful tools and weaponry.

First, you improve your sharp rock by wrapping a large leaf around it. It isn't much, but at least the sharp rock was more comfortable to use now.

You make a few more pointy sticks, adding them to the stockpile.
+3 Pointy Sticks Added To The Stockpile!

Next up was a bow. Using a long stick for the bow limb, you bend it slightly, aiming to wrap some of the unrefined plant cord for the bowstring. The creation is somewhat successful... although the bowstring really doesn't look very sturdy. You weren't sure how the bow would perform without a test.
Crude Bow Created!

Finally, you make some small pointed sticks for makeshift arrows. Eh... you weren't convinced these would be very powerful at all.
+10 Unfletched Crude Arrows Created!

Either way, that Pinkman's Tea was certainly giving you the energy boost you needed for getting the job done, and all of this was great practice.

+1 Bushcraft Skill!

Your local unrefined gentleman, here to drink tea, play harmonica and generally tip his top hat wherever he goes.
