The next morning when I see how much pain Vacker is in I decide to camp here for the day and let him rest. I hate to lose the time but we won't make much distance with the condition he is in anyway. After a day of rest he should be able to travel again, I'd prefer him to be in better shape before we enter the jungle.
Stopping to rest in the jungle is bound to be much more dangerous, better he rest up before we get there. I will even let him rest for another day if he needs to, which he might after another day of travel. Since we are staying put for today I decide to cook a stew using the hydra meat.
So after breakfast I prepare a pot and put in hydra meat and vegetables from the rations and leave it to simmer all day long. I tell Vacker to just take it easy and rest, his only job today is to heal up. Meanwhile I need to find something to do, if I sit still all day I will go insane.
"Okay, Vacker, don't freak out but I'm going to summon an undead."
