Crafty hour

Aureus examined the circle of rocks and nodded approvingly. "Ok, to start a fire we're going to need something to feed it and something to start it. We'll want to find some large sticks or logs, some smaller sticks for kindling and dry leaves or pine needles for kindling." The tinder would catch fire more quickly and make it easier to start. He trotted off looking along the ravine and gathering sticks of various sizes here and there and bringing them back toward he ring.

He did manage to find one large branch that had cracked in two. Using his teeth he worked at the split until he had two nice pieces, each about six inches in diameter. That would make for great fuel wood. Trotting back with his bounty he set one piece down then fetched the other and set it down, stretching his jaws.
