Send them hunting

"Uhm...just...give me a second," said Asha. "I need to figure out how everything works first."

"Sure thing, boss."

"Giving orders already is nice," she thought, "but I don't want my first order to them to be something stupid. First step should be to set up a base for us. This place seems pretty good already. The beach is nice, the sea and the jungle are both close but not too close. Yep, this'll be our base. Now it's time to press all the buttons and see what happens. I've got to check my inventory, and character sheet, and figure out how to do magic, surely there's a button for everything."

That was her plan, but she didn't find any buttons to press until she moved closer to the campfire. Even then, that opened a menu for the base management, but nothing about Asha herself.

"Could be worse," she thought. "At least I found something."

Looking through that menu, she learned about the Stockpile, represented by the crates, where all her faction's resources were stored. She found some food in there, and not much else. Then she found a list of buildings that she could order her people to construct, but they were all greyed out because they didn't have the resources for them. And finally, she found the recruitment tab, where she could create new troops. There was only one option available, the Basic Hawk Trooper. It mainly required food, which was nice, but Asha didn't want to spend any of it yet.

"Okay," she said, both to herself and to the waiting Hawk Troopers. "First order of business is to see how much food we can produce in a day. Then we can start recruiting more people. I want you guys to go hunting. And scavenge whatever you can along the way."

"Okay, boss. All of us?"

"Hmm...actually no. Only four of you. The rest will stay back here with me to defend the camp."

The four designated hunters flew off towards the jungle while the remaining pair planned how to best guard the camp. They decided to work in shifts, one would watch the surrounding area from the sky while the other stayed on the ground to protect their Leader and rest their wings.

Asha meanwhile had something else on her mind.

"How the fuck do I use my magic?"
