Daniel grew weary of the politics that come with being the Thane of a major city within Skyrim, so he decided it was about time he went for a hunt. He’d been stalking a large bull elk for the better part of an hour when his housecarl, a younger Nordic woman named Ansly spoke up.

“My thane I don’t think we should be out here now, you’ve left what I could consider a mountain of paperwork back in your off-“Daniel cut her off with a motion of his hand, he’d finally acquired his target, the bull elk he’d been tracking by a creek, eating what little grass it could from beneath the snow, its antlers were exceedingly large and would fetch a high price anywhere; Daniel averaged the elks weight at about 220Kg.
“Look at the antlers on this one Ansly” Daniel says as he pulled an arrow from his quiver and notched it, Daniel made it look easy as he drew the arrow back and let it loose, hitting the Elk under its left forward leg, piercing an artery, the Elk bolted off and before Ansly could say anything Daniel was on the chase, he wasn’t going to let his prey be eaten by any hungry wolves in the area; this was his kill and he’d make the most of it.

Daniel was fit for his age, after year of training his body for this sort of exercise so it didn’t take long for him to catch up to the Elk that had dropped near the creek, its blood steadily pouring into the water, the animal looked in excruciating pain, but all Daniel could do was look at it struggling for breath, with a grin on his face.

A few moments later Ansly joined him, breathing hard; she wasn’t out of shape but she also from Solitude and was no doubt trained by Imperial loving parents who coddled her, so she wasn’t used to running at high speeds through the cold forest.
“Don’t do that Thane! What if you’d been ambushed? I wasn’t there to-“she stops herself as she sees the elk struggling and squealing gently, obviously in extreme pain. “My thane? Aren’t you going to put it out of its misery?” Ansly says, her voice a bit shaken at the sight of the poor creatures suffering.

"What you expect me to shoot this elk then not kill it, gut it, skin it, and take the good meat? Good joke sweetheart." Daniel said with a scoff. He then took out one of his knives and walked up along side the elk, jamming it into the side of its throat and dragging downward. "Now pay attention here, gotta let it bleed out before we start." he started, backing up as the creature began to spasm, the light slowly draining from its eyes. "Next we flip this fucker over" he finished, rolling the elk onto its back. "Then, what we do is we cut the skin right around the anus, then right above the scrotum, making sure to cut off the dick and balls." he continued his lecture, doing the process step by step before his housecarl's eyes. "From there on, we split the pelvis, which helps us with some working room. Then, we make a tiny slit riiight here, above the pelvis in this muscle wall. Now we want to be careful to avoid the guts, unless we want to taint the meat." he drolled on. "Now once we reach the ribcage, we just want to split the breastbone here" he said, reaching for a larger knife, having it take the place of the old one. He then continued on to grunt with some effort in splitting the ribcage, a snap being heard once before he pulled the knife back, then put effort into splitting the ribcage once more, another snap echoing out. "Now from here I'll just split it up to the neck, we're after the meat more than anything else with this one anyway. Now what I'll do next is take all these guts, the lungs, the heart, all that, and pull them down while splitting the diaphragm from the meat along the sides. The reason for the cut above the anus earlier was so that we can pull it all out like this without splitting the bladder." he ranted, disposing of the guts off to the side away from the creek, then dropping them in a snowbank and moving some snow to cover them. "Now that that's finished, we can drain the blood for a few minutes, then haul this fucker back to Winterhold" He finished, checking the surroundings for any predators lurking in the distance.

Ansly, ever the greenhorn woddled toward a stone and sat down, visibly fighting back a gag as she watched Daniel work on the elk, toward the end Ansly was just blankly staring, having zoned out in order to prevent herself from throwing up in the presence of her Thane. Daniel noticed this and scoffed, snapping his fingers to bring her back to attention.
“Oh!” she says visibly disturbed at her allowing herself to be caught off guard like this, she quickly rises from her seat and addresses Daniel as he absentmindedly wipes off blood from his hands on his armor
“My Thane, your hands! And you’re clothes at this rate you’ll need to bathe! That means you’ll be late for your meeting with the Dean of the college.” At the mention of the college Daniel groans.
“Fuck I forgot about that.” Daniel says with a small chuckle, he scratched at his beard before placing the knives in their sheaths and tying the rope around the neck of the Elk and motioning for Ansly to help him with the elk.
“What am I gunna carry this thing on my own? Get a move on sweetheart.” Daniel says as he begins to heave the now less heavy bull elk onto his shoulders, Ansly is quick to help him and together the two make their way back to Winterhold unopposed.
Once at Winterhold they were greeted by the halls Chefs who take the elk from Daniel to prepare him and the Jarl a meal with it, Daniel realizes the pressing College matter and orders Ansley to run a hot bath, while he waits for the bath he decides to get rid of the blood on his hands, dipping them in a bucket outside the keep.
Now he could end up going to his office and getting ahead on the paperwork he has there as well as organize his hunting tools, or see what else he could do around the keep while he waits for the hot bath to be run for him.

What does Daniel Decide?
Daniel
Leather Armor (Full set except Helmet)
X1 Nordic bow (13 Damage)
X49 Iron Arrows with Runic Imprints (8 Damage x Magic multiplier 30-100 depending on Die roll)
X1 Skyforge Steel Sword (11 damage)
Various Knives used for skinning.
Archery (70)
One handed (59)
Rune Magic (55)
