A wolf is inspecting the area very carefully, sniffing every rock and every branch with visible pain in his eyes. You can almost feel the tension.
Can I help you?
The wolf doesn't seem to even notice you until you come really close. His gaze shifts away from you for a moment. "I don't know if anyone can help me. She's gone. My beloved... She's completely gone. No trace, no scent, no sign..." Before you can ask further, he's gone, nose to the ground, searching desperately for any scent. It seems, in his search, the wolf lost something along the way - but now he's too far away to give it back. You take it with you instead.
+1 SQ
The wolf barely acknowledges you at first, but with some gentle prying he reveals that his mate became the second member of their pack to disappear suddenly. "I'm trying to find her, but I'm afraid that my search will be in vain. Be careful you don't get lost too." He heads away, nose to the ground, searching desperately for any scent.

N/A
A wolf hurries to get past you, carrying a strange plant in its mouth. The plant looks weird, and unlike any you've seen before.
What have you got there?
The wolf looks at you incredulously for a moment before tilting his head to better reveal the plant. It's small and green, with four egg-shaped leaves, and a mop of white fluffy petals on top. The wolf drops the herb to speak. "It's clover, obviously. Don't you know your herbs?" Bewildered by your blank expression, the wolf scoops it back up again and walks off, shaking his head as he goes. You notice a small object kicked up by the wolf's paws and tuck it away for safekeeping.

A young wolf is walking alone, looking both excited and confused. His face lights up when he noticed you and it's clear that he can barely contain himself.
Tell me everything you know
"This is incredible! I thought I know this area well, all the good hunting spots and all... but something strange is happening lately." The young wolf keeps describing animals and plants you've never seen or heard of before. At some point, you're not sure if this kid is making things up or not, but his emotions seem trie. To try to convince you more, he gives you a strange thing he found next to some of the unknown plants.

N/A
This wolf's behavior seems odd and you have no idea what it is but it's giving off strange vibes. He's looking around with a puzzled expression as if he were born today or completely lost.
Come closer
You approach the wolf and he is visibly relieved. "Finally! A friendly face. Where are we? What are these strange plants?" The wolf continues to chatter on, asking question after question that even a young pup would know. Maybe he wasn't from around here? Yet there's something off about him, and you can't help but wonder if there's something else going on. While he's distracted by a plant, you slip away. A few steps away, you find a strange object, which you decide to take. Maybe it will help you solve these mysteries.
+1 SQ
You come upon a wolf laying very still and staring off into the distance, appearing to be deep in thought.
Is something wrong?
"Everything is wrong. The world as we know it is changing. I've seen them... the lights. They keep appearing out of nowhere. Following me, haunting my dreams... Listen to me and escape somewhere safe. This land is cursed and it all started from this. I found that thing a couple of days ago. Do me a favor and destroy it, maybe it will change something for the better." The old wolf doesn't even let you get a word in edgeways, and pushes an object into your paws. You assume he won't take no for an answer, so take it with you.
+1 SQ
A young wolf is cowering on the ground, its eyes white and wide with terror.
Are you okay?
"The lights... they keep following me... I can't... escape them..." The young wolf splutters her words out between gasping breaths. Before you can reply to ask more, she gets up and runs away, leaving you clueless. What lights? Oh--she left something behind. You quickly swipe it up.
+1 SQ
A lone wolf crosses your path, both lost and sad. Thinking he may know something about what's been going on, you approach him.
What happened?
"I was responsible for them... two young wolves from my pack went missing during a hunting lesson yesterday. I can't return without them." There is clear determination but no hope in his voice and you just listen in silence. You offer up some information about your journey and some possible clues that may help. The wolf gratefully gives you something he found while looking for the puppies.
+1 SQ
Two curious pups are sniffing and playing around the weirdest mushrooms you've ever seen. You're no expert, but they definitely don't look edible.
Warn
You approach to warn the pups not to eat or lick the mushrooms, explaining to them that they aren't native to this land and may cause them to get sick. The pups agree not to touch them again and to inform the herbalist of their pack as soon as possible.
You inspect the mushrooms yourself to be sure, and you notice a small object tucked between them.

You come across a young pup wandering alone. You look around but there is no adult wolf nearby.
Are you lost?
"I want to go home but they're still there." He lowers his voice to a whisper and you can see genuine fear in his eyes. You check the way ahead of you but if there was anything strange here before, it's gone now.
The young wolf gathers his courage after hearing the good news. You follow him for a while to make sure he's safe.

A strange, ginger rodent is sitting comfortably on the ground, minding its own business. It's definitely a squirrel but why is it so bright? And why are its ears so pointy?
Sniff it
You go a bit closer to check out this strange fur. Is it even real? Is this squirrel ill, or is it a new mutation? You want to ask this question but when you open your mouth, the squirrel escapes in fear, leaving the tiny object it was holding in its paws.
+1 SQ
Chase it
The chase was short, and soon you are devouring the squirrel, which tastes just like any other squirrel you'd eaten before. You're a bit disappointed. Before you leave, you notice a piece of dark rock on the ground. This must have been what the squirrel was playing with, and you snatch it up quickly.

+10% Hunger
You notice an unfamiliar animal among the bushes.
Who are you?
As you come closer, you realise that this creature is not completely alien to you but its pattern is different to others you have seen. The creature looks at you, puzzled, and your expression is probably similar. You've seen badgers many times before - perhaps this was a new mutation? The creature in front of you is somewhat similar but larger, darker, more fluffy, and supposedly friendly. Almost cute. The badgers you know are snarling, hostile balls of ruffled fur. After a while, he leaves you with your doubts. You notice a small object on the ground. It probably belonged to the creature but you take it to inspect it later.

At first, you can't identify the strange sound above your head, but then you notice an interesting bird occupied with feasting on an acorn. It's a nutcracker, focused on its meal so strongly that it doesn't notice you.
Offer Acorn*
At first, you were just observing the nutcracker in silence, wondering if it would become aware of you at any point - but it was too busy. After it finishes its acorn, you decide to offer it one of your own: which surprises the bird, encouraging it to move closer. Birds are always well-informed and they bring news from distant places, so you spend some time on some friendly chat. As you're about to leave, the bird decides to show some of its trinkets with you, returning your kind gesture.
+1 SQ +2 Grouse Feather +5 HP
Let's Chat!
Barking isn't enough; you have to jump up towards the branch to make the bird look at you. As expected, it isn't happy at first but it cheers up as soon as you start a friendly chat. When the bird's acorn falls down from the branch, you wait for it to fly away so you can snatch the prize. You genuinely enjoyed the talk, but the acorn is much more useful in the end.
+1 SQ +1 Acorn
You have to bark two or three times to get the bird's attention. It looks annoyed at first but its playful nature eventually wins over its reluctant attitude. You talk for a while and the more time you spend together, the more talkative the bird becomes. In the end, you mostly listen, nod, and look for an excuse to leave. Eventually you manage to get away with stories buzzing in your ears that you can't wait to tell your pack.
+1 SQ +2 HP
Notes
* Will only appear if the player has an Acorn
A playful hooded crow lands nearby, holding something in its beak. It hops around playfully, trying to get your attention with its little treasure.
Attack
You observe the bird for a while, but as time passes you find its presence increasingly annoying. You snap your jaws at the crow without any warning when it hops closer and kill it with one bite. You don't feel any remorse. Serves it right for approaching a hungry wolf so carelessly.
+1 SQ
+1 Crow Skull
You tilt your head slightly, observing the bird for a while. You usually find crows and ravens funny but this one is somewhat irritating. You bark and tried to catch it, but the crow is faster. When it's finally gone, you notice it left something behind.
+2 SQ
Play
Both the crow and its little trinkets are equally interesting to you. In a playful mood, you want to take a closer look - but you are too fast and too clumsy, which scares the bird away immediately! Now you can see what the crow was playing with - it's yours now anyway.
+3 SQ
You have some free time to spare. Bird watching can be really relaxing when you're not in the mood to eat them. The crow was playing with its shiny trinkets, showing and hiding them as you were trying to take a closer look. Finally, it revealed all three objects, throwing two of them in your direction. Was it a gift?
+2 SQ
You are in the mood for a break from your travels, so you decide to pause for a bit and play with the bird. The crow jumps here and there on the branch, allowing you to look at the shiny object it holds, but not for too long. Your curiosity is growing while your patience runs thin, and you poke the crow gently, letting out an excited whine. Suddenly you feel something being placed on the top of your head. It apparently considers you cute and has left you a gift. The crow flies away in a flurry of feathers before you have the chance to thank it.
+1 SQ
An elegant black bird sat soundlessly on a dry branch. At first you thought it was a raven, but there is something odd about it. It's smaller and its beak looks different. As you take a step closer, you notice that it smells different too. It's definitely not local and you wonder where it came from.
Chase
The longer you think about the bird, the hungrier you get. No matter what species it is, they all taste similar and you love this taste. You run after the bird for a long time, determined to catch it but it's way too fast, leaving you behind with your hunger and ruined mood. However, a different scent catches your attention and you decide to check it out, taking a small break before coming back.
+1 SQ +2% energy +1 Wealden Amber
Complex thoughts evaporate from your mind as soon as you realize that you're hungry. The bird somehow senses your intent and flies away before you can attack. You decide to run anyway, hoping to outsmart it on the way somehow, but you trip over a sharp object and fall to the ground. You're not injured but the bird is gone for good.
+1 Large Smoky Quartz Chunk
Chat
The only way to know all the answers is to simply ask. You approach the bird with an inviting smile, reassuring it more than a few times that you plan to eat it. The bird calms down and introduces itself as a rook, as not-so-distant cousin of ravens, just as you thought. You spend some time chatting like old friends. When the bird leaves, you realize that you forgot to ask how it got here from its faraway lands.
+1 SQ +6% energy
A strange bird walks in front of you cautiously, inspecting the area. Its reddish plumage draws your attention. It stands out oddly in this land, and it's unlike any bird you've seen before. Its scent is also unfamiliar to your nose.
Approach
You want to take a closer look--there's something weird about this bird and you want to figure out just what it is. Unfortunately the bird sees your approach as a danger, and it flies away. You notice something falling from its feather and quickly scoop it up.
+1 SQ
Chase
At first you only wanted a closer look, but now... well, you're certainly hungry and it probably tastes like chicken. The bird may not be from around here, but it's no challenge to you.
+5% Hunger
A tall, graceful bird is standing ahead of you on one leg, relaxed and unaware of your presence. It reminds you of a heron, but the scent is wrong, and you feel uneasy as you study it.
Attack
This is a perfect moment. You manage to creep up and snatch the bird successfully before it could even spread its wings!
+1 SQ
+15% Hunger OR Energy
You decide to cautiously approach, crouching low into a stalking position. The bird's keen eyes notice you before you take more than a few steps. You follow its silhouette in the sky until it disappears, wondering where it came from. Turning back to continue on your way, you come across a small object in the dirt. It smells funny just like the bird did, but you take it with you anyway.
+1 SQ
You cannot tell if it's a snake, a lizard or a worm. It shows snake-like movement but is much slower and it's amusing to observe it.
Poke it
You touch the creature with your nose, making it move further away. You notice it was resting on a strange, small object and take it with you.
+1 SQ
Eat it
The creature isn't very fast and you feel it's time for a small snack!
+3% Hunger
A beautiful cat is sitting in front of you in a relaxed pose, sending you a slow blink. What a charming creature.
Play
The cat senses your playful mood and jumps down with a purring sound, touching your legs softly with its tail. It begins to play with a long, shiny feather in delight. It's a cute sight, and you decide to join in. You jump playfully, trying to be as gentle as possible, but your paws are too heavy and your body too strong for such a little creature. The cat looks incredulously at you and leaps away, observing you from a safe distance. Well, at least you tried. It left the feather behind too, and you snatch it before it can come back to get it.
+1 Magpie Feather
The cat jumps down upon noticing you. It looks scared at first, but then you hear a soft purring sound. The cat starts to roll joyfully on the ground, playing with something. You want to join but your intimidating presence frightens the cat when you go closer. It runs away quickly, leaving its small toy behind: a small white clover! Might be useful in the future.
+1 White Clover
You approach the cat with curiosity, sniffing its thick fur and nosing it gently. The cat sits still, clearly annoyed and waiting for you to go away. Its patience doesn't last long, and after a bit it jumps down and disappears into the bushes. You want to run after the cat, but the glint of something on the ground where the cat was sitting catches your attention.
+1 SQ
A large cat, similar to a lynx from colder regions inspects the area carefully and it looks undecided about where to go next. You would say it is a lynx but it's much large and its fur looks more golden. Familiar at the first sight, strange at second.
What are you doing here?
"You tell me." The large lynx stares at you with its piercing gaze. "What is this place? I don't recognize anything. Oh... I found this. Take it, I'm done with strange things for today. I just want to go home".
+1 SQ
You see an odd-colored horse in the distance. As you approach, it stops grazing and watches you warily. It's covered in spots and sticks out starkly against the landcape, unlike its dull-coated cousins you usually see. Where did it come from?
Approach
You approach cautiously, knowing full well that you are no match for such a large animal. It's piqued your curiosity, though, and you want to see if it's anything like the horses you're used to. When you get close enough, the animal pins its ears and raises up onto its hind end, striking out at you menacingly. You leap back, heart pounding, and it continues to paw visciously at the ground in a clear warning. Your curiosity isn't worth getting hurt! You hurry away, picking up a small gem that glints in your path.

When you get close enough, the animal pins its ears and charges at you with a squeal. You scramble to get out of its way, but it's far quicker than you are. Your tail gets caught in its hooves and you thrash with a snarl, trying to bite at the horse's legs to get it off of you. Suddenly the weight is gone, and you launch into a run, not looking back. You can hear the hoofbeats of the horse as it pursues you, but it doesn't last long. You don't stop until you're far away. Your poor tail aches and is missing some fur, but you'll live.
-3 HP
Observe
You try to go closer to get a better look, but the horse snorts and spooks, moving even farther. Your presence is not welcome, it seems. You'll just have to watch it from afar. You stretch out comfortably, and the soothing scene of the horse grazing lulls you into sleep. A nice little wolf nap! When you wake up, the horse has moved on, but you see a small shiny gem left in its place.
+1 SQ

The horse doesn't look pleased to see you, but it doesn't run, either. It stares at you for a while and when you don't move closer, it goes back to eating. You decide to sit and watch it for a while. You want to go closer, but it probably wouldn't like that. It would make a nice meal...but without your pack, you'd never have a chance. You feel refreshed after a bit, and decide to move on.
+1 SQ
+2 HP
A curious young horse crosses your path, snorting in surprise at your appearance but they don't run in fear. It seems stockier than the horses you've seen and it doesn't seem to know it needs to be afraid of you. An opportunity, perhaps.
Sniff
The thought of the meal this horse would make is tempting...but as it stands there looking at you with no fear, you find yourself wondering if it would be fair. It stretches its neck out and sniffs at you, its breath hot on your face. Drawn to it, you step forward and touch your nose with its own. It makes an odd grunting noise and pulls back, as if surprised. After a moment it turns and sniffs at a nearby plant. With one last look at you it trots off, crushing the plant beneath its hooves. A familiar smell reaches your nose and you go to investigate. Vervain! This will be useful.
+1 SQ
+1 Vervain
Attack
There's no time to waste; your pack is always in need of food, and you'd be foolish to pass up such an easy kill. You lunge, going for the horse's throat, and with a stroke of luck you take it by surprise. Taking it down is not without effort, but your quick thinking has worked in your favor. This will last a while!
+1 SQ
+1 Horse Carcass
This scruffy horse doesn't look like much, but you find yourself fascinated by its color. Usually horses are brown, but this one is gray, not unlike many wolves you know. You wonder how it manages to camouflage itself sticking out so much. Irritated by your presence, it turns to leave.
Attack
Either the horse is dumb, or it's...really dumb. It must not see you as a threat. Sucks for the horse, doesn't it? You leap at its undefended backside and manage to grab a hold, but the horse has a trick up its sleeve. It slams onto the ground and rolls, crushing you before scrambling upright again. It takes off, and you're left gasping for air in the dirt. What the hell? There goes that meal.

Follow
Your paws itch to follow, so you decide to tail the horse from a good distance away. You're far enough not to bother it, but you're able to watch and see what it does as it wanders the land. It travels with no real direction, stopping often to graze and...poop. Is this all that it does? What a boring life. After a while you decide to turn away and find something else to do. Anything is more interesting than this! Something unusual catches your attention, and you scoop it up.

Surely if you go a bit farther...you decide to keep following, and eventually the horse stops, inspecting something shiny on the ground. It loses interest, and after it leaves you go to see what it is. Score!

A curious pony appears to be completely devoid of fear. What's more, it's even approaching you and lowering its head in an attempt to sniff you.
Invite to Play
The elegant movements and calm aura surrounding the pony encourages you to come closer and interact. You try your best to invite the pony to play without scaring it away and it works immediately, as if it was just waiting for you to join it. You spend some time playfully chasing each other, taking care to allow each other to be caught eventually. Even though you spent this time running, you somehow feel refreshed!

Chase
You allow the pony to approach, luring it in. You lunge once it's close enough, causing the pony to whinny in fear and attempt to flee. A good attempt, but not good enough. After successfully making the kill, you notice a bright spark on the ground.
+1 SQ
+1 Horse Carcass
You had a nice plan but your impatience and rapid movements gave away your intentions. The pony realizes the danger and rushes to flee. You didn't intend to give up but you couldn't disguise the fact that you were either too slow or too far away. There's something interesting in the ground in front of your paws, so at least you aren't leaving the place without a small reward.
+1 SQ
A shiny black stallion struts in front of you, its thick neck flexed and tail swinging agitatedly. Is it angry? Or simply showing off? You back up a few paces, unsure of its intent. Does it have a harem somewhere that it's looking to protect? It paws at the ground, and you brace yourself.
Lunge
You take action before you have the chance to get trampled. You lunge, baring your teeth and snarling. The stallion charges, but only briefly; a last-ditch attempt to make you leave. When you don't back down, it spins around and is out of your sight faster than you've ever seen any horse move. It hadn't been some illusion, had it? You sniff around, coming across a pile of poop, and determine that the black horse had in fact been real. Something shiny peeks out from the stinky pile, and with a grimace you pluck it out.
+1 SQ
You take action before you have the chance to get trampled. You lunge, baring your teeth and snarling. The stallion charges, and you dart away, barely missing its hooves. As it races by, it snakes its head out and catches you by the scruff with its powerful jaws. Your paws drag on the ground and you wrench away. The bite stings, but maybe you'll get a cool scar out of it.

Back Away
With its size and the threat of those hooves, you decide the best thing to do is back down. It's better not to antagonize it further. You lower yourself to the ground and slink backwards, attempting to show the horse that you pose no threat. It watches you for a bit, but then seems to relax. It lowers its head to graze, facing you head on so that you are never out of its sight. You settle down to rest, waiting for it to leave before making any moves. Eventually it does, and you notice it kick something up from the ground as it heads back to its herd.

+1 SQ
A dainty, small brown horse is foraging in a patch of herbs nearby. It doesn't seem to notice you, and continues attempting to paw up the herbs and yank them up by the roots. You watch, fascinated. What would a horse need with herbs? It moves on after a short time, and you just know there's something left to find!
Forage
You forage amongst the patches of vegatation, trying to find remants of what the horse had found. It's been thoroughly stomped and torn up, but you manage to find something useful!
+2 random herbs from the following:
English Marigold
Elfwort
Wood Betony
You forage amongst the patches of vegatation, trying to find remants of what the horse had found. It's been thoroughly stomped and torn up, and you sniff around hopelessly. Everything has been either picked over or destroyed. After sweeping the area a couple more times, you spot something shiny in the dirt.
+1 SQ
Dig
The dirt has already been churned up, so digging around is quite easy. Had the horse buried something here? It doesn't take long before you pull out a familiar black lump. Charcoal! Your herbalist will love this. Tucked next to it is a small quartz, too.
+1 SQ
+1 Charcoal
The dirt has already been churned up, so digging around is quite easy. Had the horse buried something here? The more you dig, the more distracted you become. What started out as looking for treasure has turned into digging for the shear joy of it. You roll and give your pelt a good coating of dirt, too. Something pokes at your back; it seems you've unearthed something afterall!
+1 SQ
The shortest, fattest little horse you've ever seen is finding different patches of dirt to roll in. Is it some sort of juvenile? It looks much different than the young you've seen alongside adult horses before. Completely ignorant of your presence, you watch as its little legs flail in the air wildly while it rolls. It finally gets to its feet and shakes out its excessively shaggy coat, fixing you with a hard stare.
Chase
This little thing doesn't look so tough! You leap forward and begin to chase it, certain you can take it down without issue. With a squeal, it spins away and gains ground fast. It's not very big, and you can't fathom how it can be so fast. It soon disappears, leaving you eating its dust. As you turn away, you come across some gems covered with dust, as if the commotion had caused them to surface.
+2 SQ
This little thing doesn't look so tough! You leap forward and begin to chase it, certain you can take it down without issue. You get no farther than a few strides into your run when it kicks up its heels and pulls away from you much faster than it had any right to. How was it this fast, yet so stumpy? It boggles your mind. It stays just out of your reach, making sharp turns and easily outmaneuvering you. Eventually you have to stop, gasping for breath. The little horse lets out a high pitched whinny and kicks something at you for your troubles.

This little thing doesn't look so tough! You leap forward and begin to chase it, certain you can take it down without issue. With a squeal, it spins away and gains ground fast. You're so intent on trying to catch it that you don't notice when it leaps over a small dip in the ground, and with a gasp you trip and fall head over heels as you lose your footing. You crash hard, and after shaking yourself off you notice the aggravating speed demon tossing its head and letting out small bucks. It trots casually away, as if it knows you're no longer a threat. Was it laughing at you?

Scare Away
You notice the familiar smell of crushed herbs, and you realize the little horse hasn't just been rolling in dirt; it's crushing the herb patches, too! You wonder if the smell is enticing. It would be good to gather some before this little terror ruins them all. You snarl, stalking toward it threateningly. At first the horse doesn't move, but when you snap at its leg and nearly land a blow, it decides that its rolling game isn't worth an injury. It takes off, and leaves you to gather what herbs remain.

At first the horse doesn't move, but when you snap at its leg and nearly land a blow, it decides that its rolling game isn't worth an injury. It takes off, and leaves you to gather what herbs remain. You sniff around in the patches for a while, but the damage is already done. Nothing useful remains of the herbs. They are all torn and ground into the dirt. The gem you find unearthed by the chaos is a small consolation prize.
+1 SQ
With a coat like the setting sun, it's hard not to notice this proud beast. The horse is stocky and seems so out of place here. As it walks, you notice it's limping heavily. Injured prey makes your job easier, but is it worth it to risk it?
Aid
Even injured, it's far too large for you to take down on your own. You decide to help the poor creature instead, eventually convincing it to follow you. It's slow going, but eventually you manage to lead it to some water and shade. The horse seems grateful, and after a long drink it begins to paw at the soft earth on the shore. Two shiny gems are unearthed, and the horse nudges them to you with its nose. Payment for your help!
+2 SQ
Take Down
Prey this large will feed your pack for a long time. You decide it's worth the risk in this case. You force it to move forward and it stumbles, allowing you to strike a killing blow.
+1 Horse Carcass
You see a dark streak of gray in in the distance, running spectacularly across the landscape. It eventually comes to a stop with a snort, prancing in place and on high alert. At first you think it's noticed you, but then you realize it's distracted by something in the other direction.
Hunt
What a stroke of luck! If you can manage to sneak up on it, you may be able to take it by surprise and take it down. You begin to stalk it, keeping low and quiet and out of its sight. The wind is blowing into you, allowing you to creep up unnoticed. You wait until it lowers its head to graze and, quick as a flash, you hook onto its neck and pull it to the ground. Victory!

Suddenly, the wind shifts, and the horse turns in fear, picking up yout scent. Upon seeing you, it takes off in the opposite direction, it's long stride eating up the ground and carrying it out of sight. Damn! The small gem it kicked up will have to do as a consolation prize.
+1 SQ
Follow
You decide to follow the horse and see what it is that has it so spooked. It trots tensely for a long while, looking back in the direction it had come from. It swishes its tall angrily, as if trying to swat a fly, and you watch as something flies out from the tail hair. The horse spooks and bolts away, fear making it run blindly in the opposite direction. Curious, you pad up to the object. It still had some horse hair on it, like it had been tangled up in the tail. Neat!
+1 Wealdon Amber
You decide to follow the horse and see what it is that has it so spooked. It trots tensely for a long while, looking back in the direction it had come from. Suddenly it shies to the side, looking in fear at something on the ground. With a snort it hesitantly sniffs at it, then wheels away with its tail flagging out behind it and breathing heavily. You watch it disappear, then investigate what it saw. Teeth stick eerily out of the ground with a gem tucked between them. Creepy.

You decide to follow the horse and see what it is that has it so spooked. It trots tensely for a long while, looking back in the direction it had come from. This goes on for a long stretch of time, and eventually you grow tired. You stop for a rest, and accidentally step on something small and shiny.
+2 SQ
A big, graceful feline inspects the area carefully, looking reserved and a bit lost. Its tail is swaying in an elegant manner, as if its pondering something. Either it's not from around here, or has landed itself in some kind of trouble.
Help Find Shelter
The creature takes a step back upon noticing your presence but it quickly realizes that you didn't come to fight. You know this place much better and you're the right one to show at least a few spots that would make great hideouts. Eventually, the cat decides to settle at one remote and well-hidden shelter, where you both relax for a while.
+1 SQ

Banish
The creature is clearly looking for a place to stay, but this is your territory! You bare your teeth and approach it slowly, raising your tail in a warning. The feline is large enough to pose competition for the prey in the area. It's better to chase it off now before it becomes too comfortable here. After you successfully chase it off, you mark the spot with your scent and relax nearby. It's a well-deserved break.

A boar-like creature appears in front of you with visible pain in its eyes. The things protruding from its back that you mistook for weird spikes initially turn out to be arrows as you look more closely. You can see that each step is a struggle and each breath could be its last one.
Offer Healing Salve*
Even from a distance, you can feel the great amount of suffering that the creature is experiencing and it touches you to the core. You remove the arrows gently with your teeth, and share one of your medicines. Shallow, short breaths change into deeper and more regular ones after a while, and you know that the worst is over. Now it's you who needs a short break before moving on, and you sit with it for a while. The creature is still too weak to speak but it encourages you to take a small gift in return for your kindness.

Automatic battle encounter with a Beast of Dean. Winning drops: +3 SQ
Notes
* Will only appear if the player has a Healing Salve
A large cow crosses your path, ambling along slowly. It notices you, but doesn't seem to care. You aren't surprised by its nonchalant attitude because the size of this creature is truly intimidating. The cow towers over you and its horns look like they could do significant damage. It has no reason to fear a little thing like you.
Chase It
It's worth a shot. If you fail, no one is here to belittle your skills but if you succeed, you will be a legend! Without analyzing too much, you run after the beast and successfully manage to chase it off. You make sure to take a fancy trophy with you that the beast unearthed with its hooves. They will remember your name for generations, there is no doubt about that!
+3 Whale Rib Bones
You hesitate for a moment, but the urge to chase a creature like this is irresistible. It may be stronger but it's definitely not faster. You manage to scare the cow but after a short chase, it turns back, annoyed at your pursuit. When it lowers its head with its long horns, you know it's time to leave!
+1 SQ
You jump forward with a loud bark, startling the cow and causing it to run off. Your pelt prickles with excitement as you sense that victory is at hand and prepare to launch yourself after it. Suddenly, the creature turns back and charges at you, remembering that it's much bigger than you are. You should have known better than to mess with an herbivore; when they're cornered, there's no stopping them. You manage to escape, but not without a scratch.

The sight of this peculiar bovine puzzles you. You've seen cows before and you are also familiar with bison. The creature in front of you looks like a weird mix of the two but the fur on its forehead somehow reminds you of humans.
Hunt
You may not get a second chance. This is an exotic cow that no one else will have if you hurry. You will be the local hero for at least a month if you bring it to your den first.

Be Friendly
This time your curiosity wins over your instincts. You approach the cow, sniffing it and familiarizing yourself with its scent. It doesn't seem to be scared of you, which is unusual too. When it finally speaks, you try your best to catch what it's saying but its accent is so thick that you give up after a while, smiling awkwardly. This is definitely a story to share with your pack.
+2 SQ +2 HP
You notice strange but beautiful, purple flowers. They're tiny yet stand out starkly against the landscape on a lonely patch of dirt.
Check them out
You are not an herbalist but you can say that you haven't seen such flowers before. Not in this region, for sure. Someone with greater knowledge has to check this out. When you sniff the ground around the plant, you find a small, strange object.
+1 SQ
A large crack in the nearby rock looks like the perfect hiding spot!
Check
It takes a while to take the tiny objects out but it ends up being worth the effort.
+3 SQ
The crack is quite deep, and you find something at the bottom.
+1 SQ
A small hole in the ground is poorly camouflaged with sticks and leaves.
Take a look
This hole is really narrow but you nose around inside it and manage to pull something out.
+1 SQ
You didn't expect this hole to be that narrow but you somehow stick your nose in, only to feel a sudden pain. Something residing inside bit you!
-2 HP
A dark creature with four long horns and a thick coat unsettles you at first. You venture a bit closer, and with a sigh of relief you realize that it's just a sheep. Probably a tasty one, judging by its size.
Approach
You try your best to move closer without scaring the sheep away. The internal battle between the urge to hunt and a pup-like curiosity doesn't last long, because the sheep panicks as soon as it notices you moving forward. With a sigh you turn away, knowing your hunger isn't strong enough to waste your energy on a mindless run. You check the surroundings but find nothing except for some Nettle Leaves.
+1 Nettle
A sheep is such easy prey that it's almost an insult for a hunter like you to willingly pass up the opportunity for a meal. The last thing the horned creature sees is your piercing gaze as you go for the kill.
+1 Sheep Skull
The closer you get, the harder it is to hold your instincts at bay. Almost as if it can read your mind, the sheep bolts away, letting out a deep, confusing bleat that only annoys you and makes you hungrier. You notice something on the ground between its hoofprints in the soft dirt.
+1 SQ
A lone fallow deer notices you from afar but instead of running away, it stares at you with genuine curiosity. It must be very young or ignorant of the danger you present.
Offer Acorn*
You did not expect such a brave attitude from a deer. It must be hungry to the point of losing its natural fear. You decide to do something kind and share an acorn with it. The deer seems grateful, and gives you something in return!
+2 SQ +1 Wealdon Amber
Come Closer
Surprised by its bravery, you move closer to check and see if there's something unusual about this creature. No normal deer stays this calm in front of a wolf. You're nearly about to sniff its fur when suddenly, the deer panicks and jumps to the side as it takes off, almost kicking you. You let out a low growl but the deer is already too far away to hear you. You find something left behind in its wake.
+1 SQ +1 Woad

This particular deer has an unusual vibe and you feel driven to show kindness towards it. You share one of your acorns, and in return the deer gives you a Healing Salve. Choosing kindness paid off!

Chase
The deer immediately notices you, giving you little time to react. Your instincts take over and you don't hesitate as you leap toward it and easily take it down. It never stood a chance! When you look down, you notice something shiny on the ground next to the deer's leg.
+1 SQ +2 HP +1 Gnawing Hoof
You decided to follow the deer and wait for the best opportunity. Unfortunately, it spotted you too early, ruining your strategy. It became a matter of pride at that point and you tried to chase the deer anyway but to no avail. Tired and upset, you sit on the path to rest for a while. Suddenly, you notice something under a thin layer of dirt.
+1 SQ -2 HP
Follow
You follow the deer in silence without any particular plan to harm it. You're simply curious where it could lead you or if it has any secrets that you could take an advantage of. The deer stops suddenly, looking around before lowered its head to check something on the ground. You decided to wait until you can check just what was so interesting. You've discovered a tiny hiding spot! Totally worth the walk.
+2 SQ +1 Wealdon Amber
With some time to spare and a mood good for a walk, you decide to follow the deer out of pure curiosity. Who knows, perhaps you'll discover some deer secrets that could potentially help you during a hunt! Every chance to know more should be used. Unfortunately, there isn't anything exceptionally exciting - but the walk was pleasant and you probably needed it to calm your mind. Suddenly, you notice something in front of your paw.

Is this a hallucination or is some strange, malevolent magic playing with your mind? It should be impossible to see a deer here.
Come closer
Completely shocked, you want to know if it's a dream or not. You can tell that the it's real but it doesn't look exactly like the deer you have experience with. While you wonder about these differences, the stag notices you and escapes in fear. When you reach the spot where it was standing, you discover a small, strange-looking object.
+1 SQ
Observe
You decide to keep your distance in case it's a magic trick or something more sinister. After all these stories you've heard, you want to remain cautious. The deer inspects the area and looks confused or even panicked. It's clear that it shouldn't be here. You need a moment to gather your thoughts and move further.
+5 HP
You track an unfamiliar but very tempting scent that leads you to a few deer-like creatures. You don't recognize them. They look like deer but are much smaller and their antlers are much less intimidating. Do they taste like normal deer?
Chase
There was only one way to find out. Without a second thought, you start chasing the deer. With the deer disadvantaged by your sudden ambush, you manage to take one of them down before it can get away. Ha! So easy a pup could do it!
+2 Meat Chunks [Large]
These small deer are surprisingly fast! Though you try your best, they outpace you quickly and you lose them. When you turn back to the place where you met them, you notice a strange, small object in the grass, left behind.
+1 SQ
You are an experienced wolf and you've seen a lot, but this strange animal has you questioning yourself. Weird antlers can be explained, but these teeth? Is it carnivorous? And why is it here?
Follow
Stalking the deer doesn't give you any new information. It looks like it's lost and unfamiliar with everything. You doubt that it will lead you to other strange deer or provide any answers to your questions. You notice a small object resting on a broken log on your way back.
+1 SQ
You keep a safe distance and try to figure out as much as you can while stalking. The deer looks unfamiliar with the area and it looks like it is completely alone here. Deep in your thoughts, you lose your focus and the creature disappears from your sight. A bit upset, you decide to rest for a while.
+5% Energy
You notice a dark ball of fur in the distance that turns out to be a family of rabbits huddled together. The young ones are visibly trembling with cold, too tired to escape.
Warm Up
It's not what you'd usually decide to do, but this sight has softened your cold predator heart. You approach the rabbits slowly, nearly covering them entirely with all of your fur. You feel the rabbits begin to relax, soaking up the warmth of your pelt. Once they are warm they continue on their way, and leave a small gift of thanks behind.

You spot something that resembles a Fishercat, covered in vibrant colours. It seems to yell out into the echo of the valley, hoping to hear back from its peers. Looks like it got separated.
Join in and howl!
You approach the critter with your tail between your legs to show you mean no harm. You howl gently, trying to match the tone, and after a bit you find a good harmony. Unfortunately, nobody responds. You offer to take the polecat on your back and you wander together for a bit, until it finds a cave it seems interested in. Time to sing goodbye!

Ambush!

As you approach a curious tree trunk, something pops out suddenly, causing you to bark in surprise! The animal looks familiar, but also a little bit different from the usual residents from around here. You just want to look into the stump, though.
Scare it away
The creature appears to lose all its legs in the rush to get away from you! You lean up to peek inside, giving your body a full stretch.
+2 SQ
The creature screeches back and tries to defend its hiding spot, but after you prove you can reach the edge of the stump with your nose, it bites you and runs down your back before running into the nearest foliage. Cheeky!

You yelp in shock as a big, hairy monster walks towards you. It's not a vision, nor a cryptid. It smells like a dog! With a shockingly kind voice and manner, you're questioned about the landscape, as it seems to be a huge change from what he was seeing just a day ago... Before he went into a long, dark cave, that is.
Find the way back
You offer to help find the cave if he's willing to backtrack his footsteps. On the way, you express that perhaps the tunnel was longer than it seemed from the inside. Eventually, you both manage to find the entrance, but you could swear some eerie glow was flickering inside its depths, lulling you into a haze... Just as quickly, the dog snapped you out of it with a parting gift. How nice.

You're sure a dog would be happier with humans, and maybe they would find his home easier than you ever could. He perks up, gratefully dropping a token of gratitude before he leaves in the direction you pointed him towards.

+1 Magpie Feather
Something blurry catches your eye - and after managing to rush towards it, you spot a bright and muscly dog chasing a hare.
Chase the Hare
This is YOUR prey and no dog can take it from you! You rush towards the hare and manage to outsmart the invader, pinning the rodent down with your mighty paw. The dog appears horrified, perhaps not used to seeing wolves. It dashed right back from where it came.
+1 SQ
+1 Hare Carcass
You track the prey for few seconds before you run in its expected direction. The hare was smarter (or faster) than both of you, and it ended up jumping into a burrow so inaccessible, it'd be impossible to dig it out. You huff at the intruder, but the dog seems completely lost. With a growl, you express where it should go, even though "where the sun doesn't shine" was something you wanted to say the most!
+1 SQ
Chase the Dog
You dart towards the dog with a vicious look on your face. You manage to almost grab it by the tail, but it changes directions much better than you - and then the fastest zoomies you've ever seen before kick in! You have never seen an animal that fast - even a deer! Within seconds it's gone, and some moments, you only hear a faint bark from far, far away. Angry, you kick at the ground, uncovering something small beneath the dirt.
+1 SQ
+1 Crow Skull
You growl loudly, angry at the intruder. The dog quickly changes direction and barks, before dashing away towards some big boulders. You have seen some caves and structures there before, so it'd be safer not to follow the dog after all. You try to find the scent of the hare, but it's gone. Accidentally, you find something just as interesting!
+1 SQ
+1 Sheep Skull
A long-haired beauty approaches you. It seems reserved and nervous, but concerned enough to risk talking to a wolf. In the most curious accent, you're asked where exactly here is. It seems she got lost during a big hunt.
Describe the area
With your love for your homeland, you describe the landscape and scents with a smile on your muzzle. The female smiles right back, perhaps intrigued by your description, even if this is not the area she was looking for. Perhaps you'll meet again!
+2 SQ
Invite for a hunt
You're curious about the hunt part and after a short discussion about preferences, you invite her for a quick hunting duet. You were quite dumbfounded when instead of attacking the prey, the dog just kinda... Pointed towards it and stiffened for a good while. What was that about? Either way, you share the catch before parting ways.
+1 SQ
+1 Pheasant Hen Carcass
A massive fuzzy creature approaches you, and immediately makes you feel uneasy. You haven't met a canine bigger than you before, and yet - here it is! It's like what those humans call a bigfoot, except for dogs. With a low, raspy voice and a weird accent, it asks if you know the way to the nearest cairn.
Deceive
You pretend to think for a bit. You really would prefer if that huge, scary fur beast would go away as soon as possible. You describe something you haven't seen before in the most convincing way you can - the STRUCTURE this creature was looking for was certainly on top of that mountain over there. Thankfully, it sounded believable, and you got a warm thank you before the creature turned to leave.
+2 SQ
Cairn?
You're almost sweating as you ask about this new word. Disappointment floods the beast's eyes immediately, before it begins to explain about a stone waypoint that would help anyone get back on the right path. You mumble nervously that you have not seen one, but you're given a token of gratitude nonetheless.

You stop, confused. A short, overgrown dog has stepped right in front of you, boldly taunting you with a fresh catch in its mouth. This rat looks way too big for the funny guy to eat, right?!
Intimidate
The short guy growls back at you and barks loudly, with a high-pitched tone, that's irritating enough for you to step back. Even though he dropped the rat, he still managed to pick it right back up before dashing away. Oh, it seems like he dropped more than the rat... What's this?
+1 SQ
+1 Large Branch
The dog jumps and stiffens, unsure how to react to you. You're big, and he's small. The math is easy. You snarl, showing off your teeth. You just want the rat. After a moment of hesitation, he drops it, before running away with the most irritating and neverending yelping noise.

Strange, unearthly orbs of dim, greenish light are floating slowly in the distance. They resemble flames with the way they glow, but the light they give off doesn't penetrate the dark. This sight sends shivers up your spine.
Approach
You're not sure whether the strange green flames are real or just your imagination. You probably shouldn't follow it - but it looks oddly interesting, and it seems that it's trying to lure you in. After a while, you decide to come a little closer to check it out, and stop if it moves away. To your surprise, the light simply vanishes in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, the area feels normal and ordinary again. The only thing that may be proof of something unnatural is a tiny object you found in front of your paws. Additionally, you feel suddenly energized.

You have a bad feeling about this and you decide to trust your instincts. The further you are from this abomination, the better.

They don't catch your attention at first, but when you notice the lights they cause both fascination and unconscious fear in your chest. They emit a calm, dim glow like a cold flame and you can't seem to look away.
Don't move
After a while of staring at this eerie scene, you catch yourself considering the thought of following the lights. Your instincts tell you to stay still for your safety but something inside your mind pushes you to go. You fight with this inner voice and when you raise your head, the lights are gone. Was that your imagination? Now, when you feel safe to move forward, you find something strange placed on the ground in front of you.

Better not to mess with the unknown, especially when you don't know how to deal with it yet. You walk on your own pawprints to make sure you don't lose your way as you backtrack away from the lights.

Possible Wisps
Possible Text
You notice a flicker of light out of the corner of your eye and you turn to see what it is. A trail of light seems to follow this glowing wisp, flickering dimly in the dark night. You hear whispers, but can't make out what they're saying. Maybe if you get closer, you can hear them properly.
A dazzling, singular wisp appears up ahead of you. It glows brightly against the darkness of the night--so strongly it almost hurts your eyes with its stark luminosity. It glides through the air as if drifting through water, and if you're not mistaken... it appears to be motioning for you to follow it!
There's no way you could have missed the wisp ahead of you. Its intense, golden glow is mesmerising, and the way it twirls and sways through the air makes it look like it's dancing. It approaches you before backing away in several repetitive motions. Maybe it wants you to follow?
A pang of sorrow hits you out of nowhere and you're suddenly overwhelmed with sadness. You take a moment to pause, catch your breath, and organise your thoughts. A large glowing wisp snatches your attention, piercing through the darkness. It's looping slowly around in the air, as if trying to invite you.
Occasionally, following a wisp will fail and no cave will be found.
Follow
You bound after the wisp as fast as you can, but it doesn't seem to help--the wisp leads you for a short while, but the distance between you gets father and farther apart, no matter how much you try to keep up. Eventually, the wisp disappears out of sight completely. Darn!
No reward
Cave Step 2
Cave Step 2
You follow after the strange apparition, watching it with fascination. It's floating gracefully, giving you the impression that it has a mind of its own. What does it want with you?
You walk for a while, until suddenly the wisp disappears into the entrance of a strange cave. You've not seen this cave before in this area.
OR
You do not attempt to catch the wisp, and instead let it lead you wherever it plans to take you. Their bright glow lights your way, and soon you are faced with the entrance of an unknown cave. The wisp disappears inside it.
OR
The wisp doesn't stop, floating nearly as fast as you're walking. It is always out of your reach, no matter how many tricks you try to get closer to it. Finally, you're lead to the front of a cave entrance - a cave you've never seen before. The wisp disappears into the dark mouth of the cave, leaving you with no doubt that it intends for you to follow it.

The inside of the cave is very cold and the silence is almost disturbing, This place feels locked from the outside world, where no sound or scent could reach it. The dust-covered floor shows no pawprints or other signs of life, and the walls and stones have strange markings etched into them. You notice the wisp in front of you, glowing and waiting.
Upon entering, you can feel a strange tension building at the back of your head. The cave is freezing cold, and so silent that the only sound you can hear-or rather, feel-is that of your own heartbeat. When your eyes adapt to the darkness, you notice strange and unknown markings carved into the stones of the cave. You cannot decipher the odd shapes and symbols. Suddenly, you notice the bright light of the wisp in the distance. In the darkness of the cave, it resembles a flame, leading you further inside.

You gather your courage and decide to walk the long, dark corridor. The wisp lights your way, but there is no way to go except forward. Suddenly, the narrow path splits into two paths, and the wisp hovers between them both, indicating that the choice is yours. Which will you take?
OR
Carefully, step by step, you follow the wisp, walking through the narrow and winding tunnel. After a while, the route splits into two directions. Both are tempting. The wisp hovers between them both, indicating the choice is yours.
OR
You enter the tunnel without hesitation. You can't see the other side of the path yet, as it's so narrow that you can only move forward. Finally, the corridor becomes broader, giving you more space and choice. There are two ways ahead of you, and the wisp hovers between them both, indicating that the choice is yours.
OR
You enter the dark, tight tunnel. There's no space to turn around, so you continue on, following the light of the wisp ahead. Suddenly, the corridor becomes broader, and splits in two directions. The wisp hovers between them both, indicating the choice is yours.

HINT FOUND!
The wolf you see in the distance looks strangely confused, but you decide to approach him anyway. You hear a story about a vivid, unpleasant vision he had whilst travelling through some vast meadows. He doesn't remember where exactly it was, the Grasslands are huge afterall, and many places look similar. Finding anything there is going to be tough. Maybe you should go to the Grasslands next.

HINT FOUND!
This wolf's face looks bored at first, but you realise within seconds that it's an extreme fatigue. The reason behind it is an object that caused two sleepless nights in a row. The wolf doesn't remember exactly where it was, but that it was in the Mountains region. The wolf also reveals that the nightmares stopped as soon as he moved away from that certain spot. Maybe you should go to the Mountains next.

You approach the wolf carefully. It's a female, and she appears to be afraid of you for some reason, but you manage to calm her down. When you ask your question, she answers at once and shares a story about other wolves that went completely crazy after playing with a tiny, unfamiliar object. According to her story, it may be somewhere in the vast Prairie grounds. This won't be easy. Maybe you should go to the Prairie next.

HINT FOUND!
This female wolf doesn't want to talk to you at first, but you convince her to open up. She's on her way back to her den but her way led through the deep parts of the Coniferous Forest. It's there where she heard rumors, but didn't see the object. A rumor is all you have now, but at least you have a place to start. Maybe you should go to the Coniferous Forest next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
When you see this older wolf, with his fur flecked with gray and eyes hardened by experience, you somehow expect some words of wisdom. While he doesn't know much about the object you want to find, he advises you to check the Coniferous Forest. It's the last place he heard about it. Maybe you should go to the Coniferous Forest next.

HINT FOUND!
The wolf you meet next listens to you in silence. You could see that it was not easy for him to start. Hesitantly, he tells you his own experience of finding a little, peculiar thing that caused such strong and confusing visions that he wasn't sure if he was going mad or not. He seemed to be a bit relieved to hear that it was, in fact, very strong magic. It all happened in the Desert, which makes you worry. How are you supposed to dig through all that sand? Perhaps you should go to the Desert next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
You see a young, adolescent wolf travelling in the distance. To your surprise, he is the first to approach you and it seems that he's really into sharing rumors, legends and various stories. You don't even have to ask about the trinket. Apparently it's somewhere in the Desert, where victims of its dark influence tried to bury it forever. And now you need to find it. It will be tough. Perhaps you should go to the Desert next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
When you explain the situation to the wolf you've found, he nods and smiles. He knows this object all too well and warns you to be careful around it. His brother found the trinket a few days ago, and began saying strange things under its influence, but their ways have parted for now. All you know is that he was heading towards the Taiga. Perhaps you should go to the Taiga next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
The next wolf you meet looks scared when you mention your purpose. Only when you promise to stop this weird magic from causing nightmares does he reveal that he owned the trinket once, but got rid of it while traveling through the Taiga. Perhaps you should go to the Taiga next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
You come across a female wolf, seemingly busy with her puppies. She doesn't seem to have much time for you. She's travelling with her puppies and they try to get all the attention. She hasn't seen any object similar to the thing you described, but she recalls meeting another wolf in a Swamp area, who claimed to own some mind-bending thing. If you go now, maybe you'll have a chance to meet him. Perhaps you should go to the Swamp next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
The next wolf you meet isn't very talkative, and you spend some time trying to get to know them more. Apparently, he experienced this object's influence too and is still somewhat confused. When you reveal your goal of making it all stop happening, he eventually tells you that it would be good to try the Swamp area first. It's where he found it. Perhaps you should go to the Swamp next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
According to this wolf's story, he found the object in the Tundra and buried it somewhere after experiencing a hallucination-like vision. Before you go, you are warned that this thing plays with people's minds. Perhaps you should go to the Tundra next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
You started to doubt if there is someone else here who would know something more. After long hours of travelling across this land, you meet a lone wolf who claimed to hear all about a magical object, full of unknown power, being found somewhere in the Tundra region. Perhaps you should go to the Tundra next.

This next wolf doesn't tell you much, but you're able to convince him to speak about the trinket. In his opinion, the object should stay right where it is, buried somewhere in the Rainforest where nobody could find it. Perhaps you should go to the Rainforest next.
-
-
-
HINT FOUND!
After hearing this wolf's experience, you knew that you'd have to be extra cautious. Apparently, the object you need to find is buried deeply in the most freezing area - the Glacier. You hope to find it before it gets stuck forever in the ice or lands in the bottom of the ocean. Perhaps you should go to the Glacier next.
