Yeah those bags. If we are stuck out here for any length of time those might end up being super useful. We could do so much with them including but not limited to: Carrying food, bandages, fishing lines, making spears, rope, making a fire, ect. Also we could use the drawstrings (if they have them) for various of the same things. Finding a few sharp rocks while they are plentiful would be to our advantage as well. We should keep ...was it gauze or cotton balls used on the magic users eyes and ears? The more I think about it since none of us have the skills to strip the hound it would be best to leave most possibly all of it. It could have untold effects like being fouled if its removed the wrong way, the smell of it could make it easier for the rest of the pack to hunt us, or if other predators smelled it they might think it was a wounded barghest and a easy meal.
All of that aside I say lets use this chance to get everyone together ,calm down, and introduce ourselves. I seriously doubt that the GM will leave us out in the total wilds for to terribly long anyway. Sorry if that was over thinking things.
