Distressed whining can be heard up ahead, and a very anxious wolf paces around a plant, muttering something about it not growing properly.

Fertilizer

It smells like shit here! Quite literally, you realize, as you notice two wolves paw-deep in some stinky piles of what can only be poop. They seem to be testing which is better to use as fertilizer.

Help them

You approach and offer to help them. They look at you warily at first but accept your help after some hesitation. You chat about your gardening successes and exchange tips. The work goes quickly and the wolves thank you for your help with a small gift before you head on your way.

The wolves look at you warily, but nod when you ask if they want some help. Your paws stink by the end, but at least it's done. After you sit with the wolves for a while and exchange gardening talk. You feel refreshed by the end, and they give you a useful seed in thanks for your hard work!

Ask for advice

You wag your tail as you approach, asking them if they've had any luck and if they have any tips to share. They eye you warily and mutter something about it being too soon to tell which fertilizer works best. Thanking them, you turn and head on your way, disappointed.

+2 GP

Padding up in a friendly manner, you ask if they've had any luck and which fertilizer works best. They stare at you coldly, and you eventually turn away when they don't say a word. Fine then!

Happy Flower Wolf

A flower-loving wolf trots by with the most beautiful basket of flowers. They nod in greeting and a flower falls out of the basket as they head on their way, unnoticed.

Keep it

Surely they won't mind? They've got so many, after all!

Wolves Arguing

Snarls and sharp barks sound from up ahead, and you come across two wolves with teeth bared. They are carrying on about the contest and which of them is better. Should you intervene?

Stay back

You stay back, waiting patiently for them to stop squabbling. They eventually part ways, and you're able to sniff around and find something they left behind!

+1-4 GP

It's best to let them sort it out themselves. No use getting involved in petty squabbles.

No reward

Break it up

You leap between them, hackles raised. Offended by your interruption, one of them bites at your leg, causing a deep gash. You turn on them, but they run into the bushes before you can get a hold of them. You're left alone in the clearing, and decide to lay down for a while to tend to your wound.

+8% energy
-5 HP

You step in between them, telling them to cut it out and that they're disturbing the peace. They snap at you in anger and slink off in different directions, looking embarrassed.

Dog Carrying a Basket

A golden blur of fluff can be seen up ahead. You've never seen such luxurious fur! It's a happy dog carrying a basket of flowers without a care in the world. Where is it heading?

What have you got there?

The dog turns and somehow manages to smile around the basket. Her long tongue lolls and her tail wags rapidly as she shoves the basket under your nose. It seems like she's inviting you to take something!

+1 Strawberry Seeds
+1 GP

The dog's ears tighten back and it suddenly picks up the pace, breaking out into a run to get away from you, and fast! Hey...

No reward

Wait for me!

You run after the happy dog, wagging your tail in a friendly manner. She greets you excitedly, the basket swaying side to side. Some seeds fall out, but she doesn't seem to care and bids you farewell as she trots off. What a nice lady!

Berry Fox

You see a fox munching on some berries that someone has carefully planted. What a clever fellow!

Share with me!

Frowning, the fox looks at you as if they'd like to tell you to bug off, but you're much bigger and the fox backs away with a sigh. You help yourself, and make sure to leave something for the fox, too.

+1 random Fruit Seed
+2 GP

The fox backs away with wide eyes and lets you investigate. Some seeds have fallen from the plant during the fox's snack time! Sweet!

Chase away

The fox scampers away when you move toward it with a snarl. Better luck next time, pal! It looks like there's plenty of berries left for you to enjoy. They're very refreshing, and you make note to let your herbalist know that these berries might be useful for the pack.

+2 GP
+10 HP

Time to tell this clever fox to bugger off! They're no match for you, and they know it. You nip at their heels and they take off without looking back. The berries are all yours now! Delicious!

You may be bigger, but the fox isn't intimidated. It slips from your grasp as you pounce, landing a bite to your ankle as it darts out of range and disappears. Bastard!

+1 GP -1 HP

Gray Fox Dig

A gray fox is ahead of you, busily digging a small hole. It's hard to tell - are they burying something, or unearthing a hidden treasure? The longer you watch, the more uncertain you become. There's only one way to find out...

Approach

You step forward with no ill intent, just curiousity about the hole and what might be inside. As soon as you open your mouth to start a friendly conversation, the fox snatches up everything in sight and bolts out of there. Feeling disheartened, you decide to investigate the spot anyway.

+1 GP

You approach carefully, doing your best not to startle the fox. Sure, you may look intimidating, but your presence is peaceful. The fox seems to sense this and - after an initial wary retreat - it inches back toward the hole, settling down as you explain yourself. Eventually, it opens up, telling you about its repeated failures trying to grow fruit. With a sigh, the fox offers you one of its seeds - on the condition that if you manage to grow one, you'll return and teach him how!

+1 Salmonberry Seeds
+5% energy

Chase away

There's no contest when it comes to pure strength - which you make clear with a deep, threatening growl as you approach. The fox is petrified, and hurries to leave, having no choice but to abandon its belongings. You can hear it cursing you and your entire bloodline as it scurries away, but you pay no mind. The treasure is yours!

+1 Native Fruit Seed

American Badger

You notice a badger holding something between its paws. It immediately uses its body to cover its treasure as it spots you, flashing you with an unwelcoming stare.

Steal

The badger seems fixated on its stash, and you figure a careful ambush might be enough to catch it off guard. Step by step, you close the distance... but just as you're a single pounce away, the badger turns around and launches itself straight at your head with a fearless snarl. The sudden attack catches you off guard, and you end up with a painful scratch for your trouble. Still, in all the commotion, something was left behind...

+2 GP
-5 HP

The badger is absorbed in its treasure, leaving it open for a surprise attack. You creep forward slowly and quietly, with not even your breath audible. Yet, somehow, the badger senses your presence and spins round. It scrambles to scoop up its hoard and bolts before you can catch it. You let out a loud, frustrated growl, which seems to frighten the badger, causing it to drop something in its haste to get away!

+1 GP

Greet

With nothing to lose, you offer the badger a friendly greeting, pretending to take interest in its wellbeing. Surprisingly, it seems to believe you, relaxing a little and lowering its guard. You had every intention of striking when the moment felt right, but you find yourself genuinely enjoying the interaction. Suddenly, the badger stretches and stands up, before casually offering you a handful of seeds.

+1 GP
+1 Corn: Field Seeds

Wait

You decide to wait for the perfect moment to distract the badger - or challenge it if it wouldn't give up its treasures willingly. However, as the minutes tick by, your eyelids grow heavy, and you close your eyes for just a moment. When you open them, the badger is nowhere to be seen... but you feel a little refreshed. Were you out that long?

+5% energy

Raccoon Trade

A friendly looking raccoon tries to get your attention and offers you to take a look at its items. You wouldn't miss an opportunity for a good deal, especially at this time of year!

Look through the wares

You browse through the raccoon's collection - everything looks oddly fascinating, but you have nothing to trade. Sensing your hesitation, the raccoon smiles and pushes an item toward you, commenting that you look like a good pupper. Whether it's just friendly talk to secure a future customer or genuine politeness, you feel a strong desire to return another time!

+1 GP
+1 Massive Pinecone

Bunny Garden

A group of fluff balls has wreaked havoc on this poor garden! Its gardener is nowhere in sight.

Shoo

With a growl you leap at them, swiping your paws at them to get them away from the plants. Just as the lad rabbit disappears, the gardener appears. Grateful that you were able to save some of the plants, they reward your efforts.

+1-3 GP

Dinner time

An easy meal? Hell yeah! You manage to catch a few of the rabbits and enjoy filling your belly. A shout makes you raise your head, and you look up to see the gardener standing in front of you with a scowl. Looks like you left a mess of blood and trampled flowers. Oops.

+1 GP
+10% hunger

Save the last remaining flower

With a bark, the rabbits scatter as you chase them off from the last remaining flower. It's yours now! Taking it gently in your teeth you make a smooth getaway, ignoring the shouts of the gardener behind you.

With a bark, the rabbits scatter as you chase them off from the last remaining flower. It's yours now! As you attempt to take it from the garden, the plant crumbles and breaks apart in your mouth, leaving you without anything at all. Damn!

No reward

Groundhogs

Groundhogs scurry back and forth, carrying things and stashing them for later. What are they preparing for?

Help them out

Grateful for the help, the groundhogs shove things at you to help them carry. They squeak excitedly about a garden, and you're impressed with how much they've gathered. When everything has been moved, they begin to sort through the pile and offer you a seed, saying that it's not a fruit they like but maybe you will. A groundhog's trash is a wolf's treasure!

+1 random Fruit Seed
+2-4 GP

With your helpful paws, their work is done in no time at all. You stay with them for a short while, asking just what they're doing. One of them goes into great detail about their groundhog garden that they can't wait to show off. They offer you a small piece of produce, encouraging you to try it in appreciation of your hard work.

You can carry far more than these little creatures can! You offer your strong paws and the groundhogs eagerly accept your help. As you move various seeds, plants, and brush, they explain that they are getting ready to start a garden of their own! Strictly for groundhogs, of course. When you finish they thank you profusely and give you a small reward.

+1-3 GP

Sit with them

Not wanting to disrupt them, you sit nearby and watch them in fascination. They don't seem to mind your company, and strike up a conversation about how their groundhog garden is going to be the grandest thing. Even better than your garden! You let them chatter for a while and enjoy relaxing. A brief respite, but needed! You head on your way once they scurry off with their supplies.

+2 GP
+6 HP

Rat Seeds

A plump little rat glares at you on top of a pile of seeds. There's so many! Maybe he can be bribed to share?

Pester it

Prodding at the rat with a paw, you make it squeak until it nearly nips your toe. It agrees to give you something if you leave it alone. It's not much, but it's something.

+1-5 GP

Raid the stash

There's bound to be something useful in here! Not quite as much as you hoped, but the rat sure seems angry when you decide to take it anyway. Snooze you lose!

Cat in Seeds

A squeaking meow sounds, and you watch as a small cat rolls around on the ground happily. Something must smell good! It jumps to its paws as you approach it, and you notice its pelt is covered in dirt and seeds.

Greet

Approaching slowly, you try to show the cat you mean no harm. They eye you but stand tall, sniffing at the air. After a long moment of staring, the cat shakes vigorously and sends seeds flying before strutting out of sight.The cat may not want the seeds, but you do!

+2 random Common Seeds

Woofing softly at the cat, you pad up to them in a friendly manner. They hiss and poof out their fur, defensive at your approach. Before you can utter a word, it disappears into the bushes.

No reward

Roll in the dirt

Seeds are scattered everywhere from where the cat rolled, and you wonder if maybe you can pick up seeds in your fur, too! Rolling happily, you manage to pick up some seeds and other things in your fur. The cat is gone by the time you finish, but it doesn't matter. Your roll was good for more than one thing!

+1 random Common Seed
+1 GP

Deciding to join in on the fun, you begin to roll in the dirt where the cat had rolled just moments before. It watches you silently and by the time you finish with your dirt bath, the cat has disappeared.

No reward

Pollinator Bat

A fuzzy bat clings to a large flower, its furry face covered in yellow. It must be pollinating!

Chat

You strike up a conversation with the bat, asking how the pollinating is going and if it's come across any interesting plants. It excitedly tells you of a unique flower it saw and offers you a tiny seed. It has no use for it, but maybe you can grow a flower just as beautiful as the one it saw!

+1 random Common Flower
+1 GP

You strike up a conversation with the bat, asking how the pollinating is going and if it's come across any interesting plants. It excitedly tells you of a unique flower it saw, but nothing more.

No reward

Lead to another flower

Nudging the bat with your nose, it blinks at you curiously as you tell it about a lovely flower you just passed. Its ears twitch excitedly and you offer to take them to it. As soon as it sees the flower it gets to work. Finding a seed as it burrows its face in the center, it offers it to you with a tiny paw and a squeak of thanks.

+1 random Rare Seed

Nudging the bat with your nose, it blinks at you curiously as you tell it about a lovely flower you just passed. Its ears twitch excitedly and you offer to take the bat to it. As soon as it sees the flower it gets to work, not even acknowledging you. At least it's happy?

No reward

Raven Trade

Looking far too intelligent for its own good, a Raven ruffles its feathers and peers at you. It squawks something about a trade if you have what it wants.

Rock Dove

You notice a dove focused on pecking through a small pile of seeds. It would be only natural for the bird to eat them, but it looks like they have another purpose... or could be more valuable than they appear. You need to know more!

Chase

Of course, you could be nice and just ask about everything, but who has time for such nonsense? You snap at the bird and chase it away from the seed pile. The dove should be grateful that you let it go so easily, and the seeds are surely a small price to pay for your generosity! Now you can check if there's something left for you...

+1 GP
+1 Tulip: Orange Seeds

Compliment

You put on a friendly smile and greet the bird as if it was an old friend. You compliment its smooth feathers and perfect shape, convincing it that it deserves more respect in the bird world. Your flattery seems to pay off, as the bird nudges a seed towards you. Success! Everyone is a bit vain, after all. Proud of yourself, you stop to rest for a while. You deserve it!

+1 random Common Tulip Seeds
+10 HP

Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

A buzzing sound catches your attention, but instead of an insect, you spot a tiny hummingbird hovering over a fragrant flower, feeding on its nectar. You tilt your head and watch the bird, curious by the way it flies and feeds. You stare for a bit longer than you should, and after a while, the bird notices you.

Sniff the bird

You try to be gentle and soft, but your size alone is enough to make the tiny bird nervous. It flies away, but as it disappears between the leaves, you hear something small fall to the ground behind it.

+1 Acorn
+1 Fleabane Seeds OR +1 Water Lily Seeds

Sniff the flower

You approach the flower, step by step, and take a deep sniff - so deep that the petals stick to your nose. The sight amuses the hummingbird, who flutters nearby, attempting to teach you the delicate art of collecting nectar. You try your best, but end up destroying two flowers and eating the other. The bird sighs and mutters something about you turning your attention to destroying the insects first, but the rest of their lecture is interrupted by your loud sneezes. Despite the chaos, you both enjoy the moment, and the bird lets you watch in peace as it finishes its meal with grace.

+1 GP
+4 HP

Black-Capped Chickadee

A tiny bird sits on a thin branch of a nearby tree, low enough for you to reach if you wanted to. Normally it would be fun to chase it around, but you notice a seed in its beak...

Catch

With a short bark, you leap at the bird but miss it by a whisker! To your surprise, the bird must have dropped the seed in the commotion, as you find it nearby on the ground afterwards! A partial success... But you make a mental note to brush up on your hunting skills next time.

+1 Native Fruit Seeds

Approach

You try to get closer, but the bird is extra cautious and notices you before you can decide what to do next. You bark after it in frustration, but it's already gone, along with its seed. All is not lost, though, as you notice that the bird left something behind!

+1 GP

American Goldfinch

Two small birds chatter away on a nearby branch, completely absorbed in their excitable conversation. You manage to get quite close before they finally notice you. They look slightly different from each other, but you can tell they are a pair of the same species. They look at you with a stern expression, making it clear that they would enjoy the moment more without you there.

Talk to the male

You approach the birds gently, hoping to strike up conversation – but bird small talk isn’t your specialty, and you make the moment awkward. The male of the pair seems more open to teaching you some of their common greetings, and you listen carefully as he sings.

+1 GP
+3% energy

Talk to the female

The female goldfinch seems shy and hesitant to speak at first, but quickly you win her over with your friendly expression, and she starts to chat away. Before long, you have had all the latest gossip from the area shared with you, including all of the affairs of her friends. When the topic changes to food, you immediately become more interested, and respond in kind with your own preferences - but carefully leave out any mention of how birds taste. Once she learns about your experience with plants, her eyes brighten, and she offers you a small gift.

+2 GP
+1 random Common Tulip Seeds

Pine Grosbeak

A subtle movement catches your attention as you pass. A pine grosbeak - very busy with its current task - doesn't notice you at all, but you get a clear view of it. With a seed clutched in its beak and seeming to hesitate, an opportunity for you opens...

Friendly Approach

You approach slowly, wagging your tail gently. The bird prepares to fly away, but you somehow persuade it to stay. Though you have vastly different lives, you find an unexpected common ground in conversation. It's enough to make you promise yourself not to eat this bird - if you ever recognize it again, that is!

+1 GP

Though wary at first, the bird begins to relax when you stop smiling - covering up your teeth seems to help ease the tension. When you ask about the seed, the bird puffs out its chest with pride, and boasts about the rose garden it's been tending, and how it hopes to impress a future fiance. Moments later, the bird casually drops the seed, and tells you that you should try growing one too!

+1 Silver Rose Seeds

Butterfly

Bright and beautiful, this butterfly is quite a sight! You've noticed so many lately. With so many flowers growing, it's no wonder they've been congregating around.

Compliment

The butterfly is so lovely that you can't help but compliment them. If butterflies can blush, this one sure would have. It gives you a seed it found on its way, telling you to cultivate it carefully.

+1 random Common Seed

Moth

A beautiful moth flutters above a flower. You notice it's dusted in yellow pollen and wonder how many flowers it has visited tonight.

Approach

When you approach, the moth waves its antennae and flutters away. In its place rests a special type of seed. A gift!

+1 random Rare Seed

When you approach, the moth waves its antennae and flutters away. Pretty!

No reward

Person Quad

A loud, four-wheeled monster roars past, with a human clinging to the top of it. It's not something you can fight, and your instinct tells you it's always better to avoid humans when you can, but you can't look away this time. Humans are unpredictable, after all... Sometimes they throw food, sometimes they scream and flee, and sometimes they drop things. What will happen this time?

Run

You run after the human with all your might, grinning as you catch up to it and see its face twist into the classic fearful expression: wide eyes and an opened mouth. Unfortunately, you forgot one crucial detail - the roaring monster beneath the human is mechanical and incredibly heavy. The moment you clip its side, pain shoots through you, and you hit the ground hard. Thankfully, nothing's broken, but it was a painful reminder of just how dangerous humans and their machines can be. You limp back along the trail, and spot something half-buried in the dirt. Worth it after all?

+3 GP
+1 Snowdrop Seeds OR +1 Scarlet Creeper Seeds
-10 HP

With a burst of speed, you close the distance, close enough so that you catch a glimpse of the human's face. It's everything you hoped for: mouth open, eyes wide in terror - hilarious! Unfortunately, the moment is short lived, and the mechanical monster lets out a roar and speeds up, leaving you behind. Disappointed that you cannot keep up, you turn around, sniffing after the tracks the human left behind. Not far along the trail, you find something small and intriguing left behind.

+1 random Native or Universal Seeds

Old Pickup Truck

A large human vehicle blocks your path, unmoving and silent. There’s no human scent, only the sharp tang of the rusty metal, old paint, and... something edible. The most interesting smell comes from the wooden boxes stacked on the platform at the back of the truth, which feels like an invitation.

Sniff around

It's better to be cautious, so you decide to inspect the vehicle from the outside. Who knows what kind of traps the humans might have left behind? You manage to find something useful anyway, so you swipe it and leave.

+1 GP
+1 Pepper: Poblano Seeds OR Cherry Tomato Seeds

+1 GP
+1 Bell Pepper

Investigate

The vehicle is filled with fascinating scents, but once you manage to get inside of it, you are disappointed to realise it has nothing useful or edible. There's not even anything here to take back as a trophy! Before you leave, you manage to sniff out something shiny, tucked away in a small pouch in the back.

+2 GP

You climb into the vehicle, nose guided by all those tempting scents. After helping yourself to what you want, you roll around in the vegetables and even swipe one of those human tools. This trophy will be an impressive thing to boast about!

+1 Rusty Pickaxe
+1 Potato: Gold Seeds

Checking the inside of the vehicle is more entertaining than you thought! All of the rotten vegetables are excellent for rolling around in, and the humans were even kind enough to leave behind some old tools as chew toys. Before leaving, you grab a toy to take back with you to your pack.

+1 Shoe
+1 Cherry Tomato Seeds OR +1 Pumpkin: Sugar Seeds OR +1 Bell Pepper OR Potato: Gold Seeds

Picnic Basket

An abandoned basket lies nearby, looking as though it was dropped only moments ago. The wooden frame smells fresh and new, but what really catches your attention is what's inside!

Sniff Around

You circle the basket carefully, but resist the urge to look inside. You don't trust humans not to leave traps behind, and though the scents are tempting, you won't risk it! Still, your caution pays off. You find something useful just beside the basket, and snatch it up quickly.

+1 GP
+1 Cherry Tomato Seeds OR +1 Pumpkin: Sugar Seeds OR +1 Bell Pepper

The basket is tempting, but you know humans are cunning and leave traps for unsuspecting animals. You give the basket a cautious surface check, careful to keep your distance. As you nudge it with your nose, something falls out.

+1 Carrot

Shove your nose inside

You don't think twice. A mouthwatering scent wafting from the basket forces you to plunge your head into the basket - and boy, is it worth it! The chicken inside is juicy, with a crispy skin.

You stick your nose deep into the basket, chasing the irresistable scents, but are disappointed to find that it's nearly empty! Someone else beat you to the feast, and just a single seed lies in the corner.

+1 Tomatillo

Lunar Plant

You spot a strange glowing plant resembling crops you've grown in your garden. Is this a special variety?

Try to harvest

Well if it looks like one, surely it can be harvested? You try to gently harvest it, and manage to trap just one seed before the plant crumbles into lunar dust.

+1 Lunar Seed

Well if it looks like one, surely it can be harvested? You try to harvest it gently, but the plant crumbles into a glowing pile when you touch it. Damn!

No reward

Study

A rare sight! You should learn as much about it as you can. You sniff it and watch how it glows under the moonlight. When a cloud passes over the moon, the plant dulls. It begins to glow again when the moon reappears, and it makes you wonder...can these plants only be harvested under the light of the moon?
