I'm ready to continue. I've spent my waiting time working on my fanfic, so if you were wondering where I've been all this time, that's why.
Anyway, I've mentioned in the poll that I have some ideas on what I could do next. I first came up with one idea, then I came up with another which forced me to decide which one I should do, and now I've figured out a way to include both of them at once.
First of all, a reminder of how Claw will be cured. Chronicler, Claw, Ruby, and Chomper have to go to the place where Ruby's family lives to find the cure (which I've decided will be a few orange treestars). It takes them all day to get there (Half way there, they have to find a way across a break in the land cause by a recent earthquake).
Once Claw is cured, here's what my current plans are:
(This is the second idea I came up with.) First, Chronicler is getting very desperate to get back home, so later in the evening, he asks to be left alone for some time while he vents his anger. While he's on his own, he encounters a Fast-Biter who, like Chomper, can speak perfect Leaf-Eater. Chronicler sees this as an opportunity for himself. Suspicious that the Rainbowfaces might be responsible for bringing the GoF members to the LBT universe, he asks the Fast-Biter to find and capture a Rainbowface and get as much information out of him as possible, and in return, he would offer the Fast-Biter knowledge of various battle tactics used by humans.
(This is the first idea I came up with.) The following day, Ruby gives Chronicler a tour of her old home. During the tour, Chronicler discovers a surface deposit of iron ore atop a small hill. He decides to bring some of it back to the Great Valley and, using the Smoking Mountain as a natural forge, create a simple sword. So, with some help, he hollows out a log to carry the iron and digs out enough of the iron to mostly fill the log. Stating there's no time to invent the wheel, he decides to tie vines around the log to use as handles to help carry the log, though it obviously requires two people to carry it.
(This is a very recent idea I came up with.) On their way back to the Great Valley, Chronicler and Ruby are carrying the log with iron down a slope of loose rocks when Chronicler slips on the rocks and falls. At first, he is more concerned about the load of iron being dumped on the ground. But then he sees his leg is bent in a way seems extremely painful. Ruby helps fix Chronicler's dislocated leg, but he is unable to go anywhere, so Ruby asks Claw and Chomper (I'm assuming they're still with us) to hurry to the Great Valley and get help to carry him. While they're gone, a pack of Fast-Biters find them. Against Ruby's wishes, Chronicler tells her that she has no choice but to fight them off herself, using his bamboo pole.
These are all the ideas I have at the moment. I'm not sure if anyone finds them interesting, but since you wanted to hear them, here they are. Let me know what you think.
