Wilderness Adventures, Tuesday

[imafuturist]

Class was once more outside of the school, out in the woods where the 'skills' being imparted on them could really be used.

"Okay, so today we're going to learn another valuable lesson," Tony said. "Starting a fire. Safely, please."

"Fire is important for cooking food, staying warm when you're stuck in the Alps in February, and apparently for warding off dinosaurs when they show up on this island because that made sense," Steve muttered.

He learned that fire could scare dinosaurs from cartoons and movies, kids. Don't trust that.

"And sometimes you won't have matches or lighter fluid on you," Tony added with a sigh. "Which happens here sometimes. It's a thing. So, we have some methods for you to try."

"Since you all seem mostly well-versed in wilderness lore--" were they hearing "better at this than two guys born and raised in New York?" because that's what Steve meant, "--pick one that you haven't tried before."

A roar came from the woods nearby. "--And we'll be on the lookout for predators."

The thing about the druidcraft cantrip, besides it being something Keyleth could cast an unlimited number of times a day, was that it was ridiculously versatile and could do things ranging from making flowers bloom to giving a simple weather forecast to ... oh yeah, lighting a campfire. Because that was what happened when a spell got developed by generations of druids, who tended to spend huge chunks of time alone with just nature.

So yeah, a quick gesture and a few murmured words, and Keyleth had her little campfire going nicely.
