A red squirrel is perched on a branch, clasping what looks like a pinecone in its paws. It would be a shame if it dropped it...
Offer Acorn*	You think quickly and offer out an Acorn from your stash to the Red Squirrel. It seems excited by the prospect of a trade, and scarpers down to snatch it from you, leaving you something behind in the process!	+2 - 3 SC

The sight of the long ears makes you tighten your jaw unconsciously. Your instincts have kicked in and you feel the need to chase the rabbit!
Chase it	There's nothing that can stop you now! It's almost too easy as you grab the jackrabbit by its neck. A perfect snack for later.	+1 Jackrabbit Carcass

A dall sheep leaps across your path, too busy focusing on keeping its footing to notice you. Mutton on the menu, perhaps?
Race	You leap after the sheep, and initially it looks frantic and tries to zig zag away from you. When it realizes you don't intend to pounce and only want to run alongside it, it pushes faster. The race is on! You're fast, but you don't have nearly as much stamina as the sheep. It leaves you in the dust after only a short time, and you're left catching your breath as it disappears. What a rush!	+10% Energy
	You intended to race, but you got too close to the sheep and it tumbles on top of you, flailing wildly.

	In theory the sheep's distraction should work in your favor...but as it turns out, the sheep wasn't as distracted as you thought.

Spiky and with a face only a mother could love, a porcupine perches on a rock and stares you down.
Pounce	This lumbering thing is so slow that it's not even a challenge to take it down. A tasty reward! If you avoid the spikes, that is.	+1 Porcupine Carcass
	You pounce at the spiky prey, but it's ready for you! It bristles in warning, taking advantage of your pause to run away to safety. Pff! You don't like porcupine meat anyway!	N/A

Balancing on its front legs, a skunk raises its bum in your direction, ready to spray!
Back Away	No way you're getting close enough to get sprayed! You back away quickly, and the skunk lowers back onto all fours. Once you're a good distance away, it runs off. It looks like it was in the process of making a den before you so rudely interrupted. Well, more for you!	+1 Large Branch

A northern pygmy owl is staring down at you from the low-hanging branch of a tree. Its head is rotating in all directions as the wide, open eyes follow your every move.
Hoot	You stand under the tree and let out a series of howls, doing your best to imitate the hoots of an owl. With every fake hoot, more owls gather on the branch. You feel a little shy with such a large audience, so you finish your show. A few shiny tokens of admiration drop down from above.	+2-3 SC

A group of humans is passing by, their voices echoing loudly enough to make the whole area aware of their presence. You're close enough to catch intriguing scents. Their bags must be full of treats and trinkets!
Growl	You approach the group in silence, revealing yourself with a low growl. The chaos you create with it is surely one of the best things you've seen lately. It's good fun to watch the humans screaming and losing their belongings on the way. The bravest one stops for a while to throw something at you, trying to ward you off. It actually catches your attention, so you decide to wait for the next opportunity to chase them.	+1 Large Branch

	You silently draw closer, preparing to surprise the group with your most ominous growl. Your plan works like a charm, and they scream in panic, abandoning their belongings without a second thought.

Act friendly	You can smell a few interesting scents around the group. Their bags are surely full of food, and you just have to get some! You try to fool the humans with your acting, mimicking all that you remember about dogs that accompany humans sometimes. They don't seem to believe you, but it seems to work somewhat. One of them throws something at you, hoping to keep you busy for a while. As you approach, you see a small chunk of dried meat. A small thing, but tasty!	+5 HP
	You're in the mood for fun. Can humans be fooled by your acting? Wagging your tail and smiling, you approach the group, but you can see and sense the increasing fear. It doesn't seem like they believe or trust you. One step too many causes them to flee in panic. You could, of course, catch them easily, but it's not worth the effort.	N/A
Season: Summer

A dark mass caught in a web draws your gaze. It's a lampshade spider, sitting on her nest. Creepy!
Approach	The spider and her nest is just too enticing to ignore. You approach, wholly fascinated by the little creature. She doesn't do much, but you enjoy watching her small movements as she goes about her day. It's a good chance to take a break, too.	+10 HP
	As you approach, the spider gets increasingly agitated. When you get too close, it decides enough is enough. It bites your nose, causing a nice welt to form. You back away quickly and leave the spider in peace, but as you continue on your way you can feel the heat spreading through your body.	N/A
Observe	You watch as a butterfly is caught in the web, fluttering wildly. The spider takes advantage and wraps it up for later. A ripped off wing flutters to the ground, and it's so pretty that you creep closer to snatch it up without distubring the spider.	+1 Butterfly Wing

A large flock of birds clogs the sky and nearly blocks out the sun. There's hundreds of them! It must be their annual migration.
Count them	You sit and watch the flock in awe, trying to count how many there are. It proves harder than you thought, and you quickly lose count. There's no end to them! Finally the last of the birds disappears over the horizon and all is quiet again. You rise to your paws and set off once again with a bit of pep in your step.	+3% Energy
	You flop on your back, hoping that it's easier to count when you're facing upwards as if watching the clouds. It's successful at first, but the sheer number of birds eventually makes you dizzy. It feels good to lay here though, and you close your eyes. The sound of wings and various bird calls lulls you into sleep. When your eyes snap back open, the birds are gone, and the daylight has shifted. You must have needed that!	+2 HP
Follow the migration	You follow the birds as long as you can, tracking their flight path and direction of travel. They're moving far too fast to follow for long, but it's not hard to figure out where they're headed. The sky clears eventually, and you stop for a drink. Something glitters in the puddle--pine cones!	result unconfirmed: 1-4 SC
	It's nice to follow the birds without having to worry about tracking where you're going--the birds are doing that for you! Is this what humans feel like when they go for their walks? Nothing to worry about except one paw step in front of the other. At last the birds disappear and you're forced to pay attention again.	+2% Energy
	The migration path leads you to a place you're not as familiar with, and you decide to stop and explore for a while. It's hard to keep up with the speed of the birds, anyway. The anticipation of exploring the area rejuvenates you. Time to check it out!	+5 HP
Season: Autumn

A peculiar rustling sound catches your attention, leading you to an intriguing sight. You discover a nest full of eggs where a milk snake is about to devour one of them.
Attack!	The eggs are your main goal, but you need to eliminate the long obstacle standing between you and a tasty meal. The snake is so focused on eating that it doesn't even notice your approach before it meets its demise.	+1 Milk Snake Carcass
	The snake is lucky that you're only interested in the eggs, but it never hurts to assert dominance, just in case. To ensure it doesn't attempt anything, you show your teeth as a warning. The snake has already swallowed one of the eggs, losing some of its mobility, so you throw it out of the nest to claim everything for yourself.	+3% Energy +10% Hunger
	Growling at the snake barely grabs its attention. Losing your patience, you bark at the reptile, but it reacts in a way you don't expect. The snake coils around the eggs, staring at you, ready to attack if you take another step. With a heavy sigh, you decide to go and find something better than just some tiny, dirty eggs.	N/A
Steal	When the snake devours an egg and becomes less mobile, it's your time to act. Quickly grabbing one of the eggs, you notice the snake ready to strike as you return for the next. Not in the mood for conflict, you eat the one you have, watching the snake coiling around the nest, protecting its treasure.	+4% Energy
	You let the snake have one of the eggs, knowing it will take some time for it to consume it. You can then take the remaining ones. It seems like a fair deal by your standards, but the snake has a different opinion. It attacks you as soon as you open your mouth to grab the egg. What a greedy bastard!	-3 HP
	You get closer, licking your mouth with a smile. The snake reacts swiftly, coiling around the eggs, prepared to strike if you take another step. Growling doesn't seem to make a difference. It's probably best to leave.	N/A
Season: Spring

Chickadees are supposed to be small and cute, but why must they be so loud? Its shrill calls echo in your ears as it peers down at you without remorse.
Shoo Away	Your attempts to shoo the bird away don't do any good at first, but then the chickadee disappears over the mountainside. At last, peace! Seconds later it returns, holding a piece of rope. It drops it at your paws and begins to sing again. You sniff it, smelling human scent mixed with death. Eesh!	+1 Hiker's Rope
	As you try to shoo it away, the chickadee seems to get irritated and flies down at you, going right for your eyes! Instinct kicks in and you swat it away with a smack which sends the bird plummeting into the dirt. Its body goes limp, dead on the spot. Such a shame... really, it's a shame to snack on such an annoying bird. Terrible!	+10% Hunger
	It takes a few tries, but finally you're able to pester the bird enough for it to take off and find another tree far, far away. The silence is so welcoming that you decide to curl up under the tree for a bit of shut eye.	+3% Energy
	The chickadee ignores you and keeps on singing, blissfully unaware of anything outside of its bubble. Eventually you move on to get away from its nonsense.	N/A
Yell back	You can sing, too! Not like the chickadee, but surely your voice is just as lovely? Its singing cuts off abruptly as it stares at you in disbelief. After a moment it flies off, dropping an herb from its talons that it had collected. Guess it didn't like your singing!	+1 Winterfat
	You raise your voice to mirror the chickadee's, and to your surprise it keeps singing with you. Well how about that! You sing together until the chickadee flies off, and there's a bit more pep in your step after the duet.	+3% Energy
	Your voice carries up to the bird, but it stops singing and stares at you. You sing for a bit, but the hard eyes of the bird make your pelt prickle. It's as if it's calculating how best to take revenge for your interruption. Probably best to go before it gets any bright ideas!	N/A

The strong smell of fish captures your attention, and you spot a rainbow trout's body shining on the nearby rocks. It's still very fresh and very tempting but you're not the sole visitor eager to claim it. It looks like a raccoon is also trying to get closer to the fish!
Offer Acorn*	You don't really believe that an acorn will be more attractive to the raccoon than a fish, but to your surprise, the plan works, and the creature lets you eat in peace. It's just a snack, but in a moment like this, it's the tastiest thing in the world and you cherish every bite.	+10% Energy
Hurry!	With no time to plan anything you quickly jump, reaching the fish first. The raccoon is much smaller and its steps are shorter, thankfully. You just smile, puffing out your chest and flexing a bit. You're pretty sure the raccoon is watching.	+5 HP
	You're quick, but the raccoon is closer, swiftly placing its dirty little paws on your food just as you reach for it. With a low growl, you bare your teeth, but it only triggers the raccoon to use its claws and teeth as well. When you fight, the fish slips away, sliding into the water and disappearing. The raccoon shoots you a fake smile before casually walking away as if nothing had happened.	-3 HP
	As you try to reach the fish before the raccoon, it ends up being closer to the tasty meat than you are. It manages to escape before you can react, fully aware of your frustration reaching its peak. You swear you can hear it laughing.	N/A

Your eyes catch movement in the mist ahead. The form looks human, and yet...it's furry, too. What could it be?
Follow	You follow the figure as best you can, losing sight of it from time to time. Eventually it disappears completely, and you're left looking around in confusion. A small shadow sits on the ground and when you go to check it out, an eerie feeling comes over you. It's tiny little human in the form of a toy.	+1 Old Doll
	The figure moves back and forth, making a strange zig zag path. It's odd, but you follow it anyway. It disappears after a time, but the cool mist on your fur has left you refreshed.	+4 HP
	Quick on your paws, you make to follow the figure. It's not long before the mist is too thick to see a thing, and you lose all track of it. Darn!	N/A
Track	It's hard to see in the mist, but your nose won't let you down! You track the figure for a long while, enjoying only relying on your nose for guidance. Its scent trail ends abruptly at a patch of herbs, and you can't help but wonder if the figure walked through the patch to distract you.	+2 Redwood Sorrel
	There's nothing your nose can't track! The scent trail that you follow is strange, and unlike anything you've smelled before. The creature must be covering ground more quickly than you; you lose the scent after a time. It was good fun at least, and you had a nice walk!	result unconfirmed: 2 HP
	Surely this creature's scent is strong enough to track from anywhere? It's very unique, and hard to miss even among the other scents around you. Yet somehow, after only a few moments of tracking, the scent completely disappears. Did it vanish into thin air?	N/A
Season: Winter

Two fluffy marmots have come out of their burrow anxiously, as if they can sense your presence.
Investigate the area	You try to act uninterested as you approach the rodents. You don't really care about them, but you have a feeling that they are looking for something here. If that's the case, you will find it first. Ah yes...there's that familiar smell!	+1 St. John's Wort
	Both marmots seem a bit suspicious as you watch them. You're pretty sure they're just waiting for you to leave so they can find something stashed around here.Trying to act normally, you sniff every single rock, but there's nothing even remotely interesting here. If the rodents wanted you to waste your time, they succeeded.	N/A
Dig	The marmots vanish into the deep tunnels of their burrow as soon as you approach, but your goal is different. You're far more interested in the burrow itself than in its residents, and you feel real joy while digging around. The mortified marmots start to yell at you, promising to share the whereabouts of something tasty if you leave them in peace. You decide it’s worth a shot to see what they have to say and aren't disappointed.	+1 Quail Carcass
	If the marmots are here, their burrow must be nearby. You're in the mood for digging and now's the perfect opportunity! Who cares if their home is destroyed? You uncover something shiny and snatch it up quickly.	result unconfirmed: 1-5 SC
	When you approach the marmots, they both quickly disappear into their burrow, but you notice their horrified looks as you completely ruin the entrance to the tunnels. Their upset voices change into begging as you go further. Eventually, they offer you something valuable if you promise to go away. The gift happens to be an herbal snack that tastes awful, but you feel a bit better afterward.	+4 HP
	When you move closer, both marmots vanish within seconds, but it's not them you're after. You're way more interested in their burrow, and the excitement grows as you start digging around it, destroying the entrance completely. You ignore all of the insults thrown at you by the upset marmots, swearing at you from the depths of their tunnels. You can't reach them anyway, so you eventually lose interest when nothing surfaces from the dirt..	N/A

You notice a tiny creature hiding in a fallen tree. You stay still and quiet and after a while, the creature reveals itself, looking at you with curiosity. It's a yellow-pine chipmunk, searching for something to eat.
Investigate	You move closer, making the squirrel anxious, but it's not the rodent you're interested in. There's something it's standing on! You gently move the squirrel aside with your nose to take it. You can see the relief in its eyes.	+3 Cedar Bark
	You sniff around, showing more interest in the tree than in the squirrel, which makes it a lot more confident. It pretends to search for treats with you, pointing to a spot you should check. You find a few berries, which are not a typical snack for a wolf, but it feels refreshing.	result unconfirmed: 2 HP
	The squirrel becomes anxious as you approach but eventually relaxes, noticing your interest in the surroundings rather than itself. You feel the tiny paws of the squirrel touching you, attempting to play. However, when you finally look at it, the rodent quickly runs away.	N/A
Poke the chipmunk	You sniff the chipmunk carefully and then poke it gently with your nose. To the tiny rodent, you're a giant with unknown intentions. Visibly anxious, the squirrel places something in front of your nose and runs away before you can react or say that you don't want to hurt it.	+1 Lucky Foot
	You approach and playfully poke the chipmunk with your nose. It looks anxious at first but quickly realizes that you're equally curious about each other. The tiny creature lets you sniff it, and in return, it jumps on your head to play with your fur. In a different situation, it would be annoying, but it's not so bad now.	+3 HP
