Your basic war for fire in B.C. times

Unknown

Ok so we got 2 parties here 1 that's 1 mile away on the top of a hill while looking for herbs, mushrooms, and whatever else they can find to improve their life reasonably.

 

The other in a cave 1 mile from the hill where the first party is, cooking some fish fished out of a spring deep in the cave they live from day to day in without risk of death and pain.

 

Ok so the 2nd party tends to be the gambler type, not staying put but going out in the wilderness running from bears and tigers looking for food or supplies, instead of taking the slow route and staying in one spot.

 

But they see the smoke coming from that cave that time they looked for things on the ground below the hill that day, and they think man, i wish i had something to keep me warm like a fire and coats and no telling what else they're holed up with at that cave.  So the 5 wanderers head off for the cave, with the cave dwellers and they're fish craving dogs completely unaware of what's about to hit the fan, until the attackers get about 100 meters from the cave, 1 dog lifts his head, 2 dogs lift their head and look off in the direction of the noisey mushroom heads, until all 5 dogs are slowly walking to the wood line 50 meters away from the cave barking, taunting them trying to lure them towards the defenders because even common sense tells you you're better defended in numbers.

 

Now remember, these attackers like to gamble, and they know if they can just get rid of the dogs they can escape, heal their wounds, and come back 2 weeks later with a head start on the cave men as they won't be heard approaching, then they will be able to stay warm.

 

So the dogs pull back a little, laughing silently a little while they bark.  The attackers go for it, running at the dogs as if they'll paralyze them with fear.  So the dogs  take a couple steps forward to trick and motivate them into using all their energy in getting to the dogs as fast as they can, but the dogs aren't stupid, they wait until the attackers get 1.5 meters away and then pull back behind the defenders, but the attackers just know for sure they can get the dogs and still run off before they get pummeled to death, so they run behind the defenders, with all their strength, mean while the defenders are beyond ticked off, watching the attackers run toward the cave after their fuzzy little friends and the women and children inside the cave, knowing they'll need the kids one day to protect them when they're too old to defend themselves from stupid people, by this time the dogs are running into the cave laughing their butts off, they can't even walk they're laughing so hard because they know they're finally going to have something to chew on for the next 2 weeks.  The attackers have lost much of their energy from running after tricky dogs, the defenders reach them before they get to the cave, and the dogs laughed their butts off.  The end.
