Fentiriss and Lukanios stop fighting for long enough to come up with a plan. Or maybe they came up with this plan last time. It's not entirely clear.
Right, time to get to the showing off!
Step one: MILITARIZE as they've done thousands of times before! The pair clean off the rusty axe, resharpen it into functionality, and use it to clear-cut a smaller-than-the-entire-forest area. They then raise fortifications made of sharpened logs in the new clearing, build a watchtower in the center, and RAISE THE FLAG they brought because of course they brought their own flag. They then grab some of the planks and build a blockhouse and supply shed in the fort.
Step two: ACTIVELY PLUNDER as Fentiriss and Lukanios take out their crossbows and swords and begin massacring as much wildlife as possible, and then set to work fermenting some of the meat, drying some of it, and cooking the rest. Scurvy takes WEEKS to develop. until then, you'll be fine. The fermented meat probably has some C in it anyway.
Step three: PROVIDE WARMTH as the pair dig a trench most of the way around the fort some distance away (leaving a strip of ground on which to walk in and out of the fort) and begin dumping offal from the slaughter and the extra wood from the clearcutting into it, along with the omnipresent bones in the area. They then throw the dried and dead ground-plants into the trench and LIGHT THE WHOLE TRENCH ON FIREEEE! It's not going to burn the fort down because it's not inside, but now whichever way the wind blows, it'll be warm!
Right! Observe our pointlessly enormous effort and WEEP! Unless it all collapses, in which case WEEP FOR WHAT YOU HAVE LOST!
