Connor was more than happy to oblige Shad's recommendation to steer clear of the blubbery mass. He ran even further back and fell to one knee, hastily cutting off one of the straps of his backpack. The piece of leather, about the length of his forearm got two holes punctured at the ends and he proceeded to tie a piece of rope through both ends. It wasn't pretty, but he could swing it around pretty fast.

He proceeded to crawl over the ground looking for rocks that fit quite nice in the palm of his hand.
