It smells of horrible rotten eggs. It is yellow and looks like a small crystal. What do you call this?

As I am not fully certain of its properties, I keep it and wait for the others back at camp to see it in order to find a proper name.

You put it in your inventory and keep exploring. You find an animal that appears to be hurt badly. You inspect closer and it is a small pig. What do you do?

Food!
I examine the wound, to determine whether it was caused by another animal or perhaps by accident... in the first case, we would ready ourselves to fight, in the second case, we just take the pig with us.

It is caused by a fall it seems and it broke it's hind legs. It is struggling to get away from you but it has no chance of escaping. You skillfully cut its throat and collect it. You ram a pointed stick through it's mouth and out its back side to carry it between you and one of your men. Do you continue searching or go back?

We return, we don't want the smell of meat to attract more animals.

You start back to camp but trip and your knife gets jammed into your calf. What do you do?

BLIMEY!
I ask for help to my companions, to take back to the camp quickly and call the healer... maybe they've found herbs useful for this while we explored.

They agree to help you back to the tribe. They pick you up and keep the pig as well. You're soon back but you are in excruciating pain. They take you to the medicine man and he examines it. "You have a chance to not lose your leg if I act quickly. I have to remove the knife and we need to boil some water with these herbs in it to prevent infection." He skillfully tugs the knife from your leg and puts the water and herbs on a fire he made. He wraps your leg in an animal hide to stop the bleeding. He pours the water on it and you howl in pain but then the pain ceases. He tightly wrapps your leg in cured animal hide and tells you to stay off of the leg. He suggests making a crutch. What do you do now?

I ask my best craftsman to do me the crutch with the wood we brought yesterday, and I will lay until my leg becomes healed. I ask men to bring me wood, I can carve lances while I can't explore.

You make a few lances but soon get bored. You take a walk outside when inspiration strikes you. You get back to your "bed" and start carving. You create a bow. But you need flint for the arrow heads. What now?

I show the stinky stone to my best craftsman, and check our supplies.

You have about 4 days of food, 50 pounds of flint, and a large pile of wood. You show him the stone and he knows what it is immediately. It is sulfur.

I give the stone to him to find the best use and inform him of the location of the vein.
I take some flint and carve arrowheads. Hmm... but I still need something to bind them...

Well tar would be a great binding agent. And he says that sulfur mixed in water eats things away quickly.
