However, their bags may contain some tasty treats. Sniffing around the tent, you discover an unsupervised bag. The scent coming from the inside is so tempting that you put almost your entire head in.

The bird proposes a trade: treasure if you leave them alone. Well, why not? It's not much, but the bird's idea of buying their life is so amusing that you decide to spare them both.

You see some claw marks on the snow, and you see that you are not the first who wants to have a free meal. The fawn looks at you with fear, but you're not interested in it right now. Your eyes catch something shiny under the young deer's leg. It seems that someone lost some valuables. The fawn quickly runs away as soon as you lock your gaze on something else.

<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>The smell of the fish is too tempting to resist, so you decide to at least try to grab one. Unfortunately, you're so excited that you reveal yourself by letting out an uncontrolled whine. You meet the surprised gaze of the humans, and a split second later you're fleeing back the way you came before they use their fancy tools on you. You manage to get away, feeling something sharp hit your back—a warning from the humans. That was close!
<td style='width: 30%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>+3 Charcoal</td></tr>
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>Step by step, you try to get closer to the fish that has already been caught. It's unreal how tempting the smell is, but you try to remain calm. Unfortunately a soft, uncontrolled whine escapes your muzzle and alerts the humans, leaving you no other choice but to leave before they try to harm you.

<tr class='encounter_options'><td style='width: 20%;' rowspan=4>Hunt
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>It's clear that the seals don't see you as a threat, as they let you approach quite close. When you grab the pup, it's too late for its mother to react and when she starts chasing you, you're already far beyond her reach.
<td style='width: 30%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>+1 Seal Pup Carcass</td></tr>
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>Your plan is promising at first, but the seals can sense your intentions and become more anxious with each step you take. Suddenly, the pup's mother warns you not to approach any closer and points at a few bones lying nearby, trying to convince you that they're the remains of her previous enemies. You don't believe a word she says, but you're also not in the mood for a fight. If you can't have a meal, you'll at least have something to play with. Without saying a word, you take the bones and go about your day.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>The seals mostly ignore you as you slowly approach them, but as you get closer the pup gets more distressed, perhaps sensing your malicious intentions. Its mother charges at you without warning, and you're lucky to be quick enough to avoid more serious wounds.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You try to get as close as possible without looking suspicious, but the seals see right through your charade. You're forced to retreat, as fighting with a full-grown seal protecting its pup won't end well for you.

<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You approach slowly, wagging your tail and trying to look harmless. To your surprise, the mother allows her pup to play with you for a while, and soon you both roll in the snow, sharing a good time. This young seal is not unlike wolf pups. The pup shows you its little treasure: fresh duck eggs! Seeing your hungry stare, it selflessly shares some with you.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>Trying to appear friendly and harmless, you approach slowly, giving the seals time to accept your presence. Your plan works, and the pup comes closer to inspect you, while its mother watches carefully, ready to intervene at any moment. Wanting to avoid causing harm, you roll in the snow, letting the pup poke you with its nose as much as it wants. As you prepare to leave, the pup gives you an acorn, insisting that you take it. Is there something special about it?<tr><td style='background: #b4b4b4;' colspan=3>''Season(s): Summer, Autumn, Winter</td></tr></table>

<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>There's one effective way to make the bird stop: stuffing its beak with food! In fact, the same would work for you. The bird takes the acorn, giving you something in return.

<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>That's enough! You jump as high as possible to reach the bird when it teases you again. You miss it by a whisker, ending up with one of its feathers in your mouth. Fortunately, you've scared it enough to make it fly away for good. Ah, sweet silence.</table>

<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1' rowspan=3>?After some hesitation, you decide not to wait until the humans are gone. You let them mind their own business, and they should do the same, right? Unfortunately, as soon as they recognize your silhouette, they start panicking, leaving theiri sleds on the snow. At least you have what you wanted: peace and the entire area to yourself to check carefully. It's only a matter of time until you find something useful.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You don't try to hide yourself, believing that the humans won't care about you if you ignore them. However, as soon as you appear in their sight, they start panicking and talk to each other really fast, which leaves you confused. Suddenly, one of them raises their arm to toss something at you in the hope of distracting you for a while. Your nose recognizes the smell of a whale bone. Did they want to feed you? You hope they throw something at you again, but when you look, the humans are gone.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>While you don't want humans to see you, the hill itself looks interesting enough to take a closer look. You have to wait a really long time, as the humans just don't want to leave, sliding down the hill over and over again. When you are finally able to approach it, you don't find anything worth your attention. What a waste!<tr><td style='background: #b4b4b4;' colspan=3>''Season(s): Spring</td></tr></table>

<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You approach the seal, sitting by its side in silence, ready to relax for a while. A delicious scent reaches your nose, and you notice that the seal was about to eat a fresh fish when you interrupted its meal. Feeling unwelcome, you go to leave--but not without a snack. You quickly grab a fish and run away before the seal is able to react.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You approach the seal, sitting next to the creature in silence. It stares at you anxiously at first, but when it notices your peaceful attitude, the tension disappears. You share a few thoughts about the latest news, but what you enjoy the most is the silence and emptiness of this area. As you get ready to continue your journey, you feel refreshed, like after a nap. You got +3 HP!
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You sit next to the seal, deciding to relax next to it for a while. The creature doesn't mind having you by its side but it remains silent. It's okay, you don't need to talk; you already feel energized.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You move closer with the peaceful intention of resting here for a while. The seal remains silent even when you try to start a conversation. When you run out of ideas, you decide to leave, feeling a bit frustrated. If this seal acts this way all the time, then it's no wonder why they usually live alone.
<tr class='encounter_options'><td style='width: 20%;' rowspan=4>Approach
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>When you take a closer look, you notice that the seal is eating something. The perfect opportunity! With one precise jump, you steal the meat right in front of the seal's nose. It knows you're faster, so it doesn't even try to chase you.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>As you get closer, you notice the seal is munching on something that smells delicious. You lick your mouth a few times, making the creature feel a bit uneasy. It turns its back to you, showing a complete lack of interest and no intention to share its meal. You sniff around, only to find crab remains covered with snow. It's not your preference, but it may be useful later.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You move a bit closer, noticing that the seal is eating something. It pauses its meal, waiting for you to leave. After a while, it becomes clear to the creature that you're going to stay there, so it shares a small portion with you, asking you to eat it somewhere else. You got +2 HP!
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>You pad a bit closer, but the seal ignores you, looking in a different direction when you lower your head to sniff it. After a moment of awkward silence, you decide to leave.</table>

<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>It's not easy to hide among so many people, but you remember that their sense of smell is weak. With so much strange stuff on the boat, you may succeed if you find enough objects to hide behind. This sounds like a challenge! You manage to enter the board with your heart racing in your chest. There's not much time to fool around, so you trust your nose to lead you to the closest treat there is to find, and you're not disappointed.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>It may not be the wisest decision, but there are no rewards without risk. You enter the boat carefully, hiding in the shadows and pretending you're not there. It's not a playground, so you decide to retreat as soon as you find something even remotely interesting. After a while of intense sniffing, you spot something worth taking.
<tr class='encounter_options'><td style='width: 20%;' rowspan=2>Sniff Around
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>There is some human equipment left on the shore, and it's safer to check that out instead of trying to sneak into the ship. You still remain cautious, aware of even the most subtle crack in the snow. One of the boxes looks easy to open, and the scent is irresistible. It takes a while and a little force, but you finally succeed, making a lot of noise. With no time to think, you grab the tasty meat to eat in peace. You got +5 HP!

They are much quicker than you in the air, and eventually disappear from view. Drat! You're able to find a fresh patch of herbs for your herbalist at least.
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>The geese don't make it easy to follow, and soon you're left behind. The geese may have disappeared, but your nose finds something buried nearby. Mmm, that feels better! You got +4 HP!
<td style='width: 50%; background-color:#d1d1d1'>Following flying geese is hard, and your paws just can't keep up. Plus your neck hurts from craning it upwards to track the geese. So not worth it!

The breathtaking view makes you momentarily forget the risks of being so close, underestimating the size and power of the creature. When the whale dives back into the water, an enormous wave sweeps you off the surface of the ice. You feel a sharp pain and it's a struggle to emerge again.
