Encounters in Every Biome

A small pool of water appears up ahead, and as you approach you notice that there is a dim blue light glowing from beneath the surface of the water.

You hear the faint twitter of birds somewhere nearby. You look up to the sky and watch them swooping overhead. What would it feel like to fly? You find a nice comfortable spot in the shade and rest for a moment.
Sleep	The sound is so soothing. You flop down and take a short nap.	+5% to 10% energy
Rest	You decide to take advantage of this sound and settle down to rest, pondering your thoughts, and perhaps licking a few wounds.	+1 to 5 HP

You see some small critters running desperately in the opposite direction.

Turn Back	You take the hint and turn back, running after the critters. Well, while you're here, might as well try to snatch a meal.	+1 random egg OR +1 Delicate Meat OR +1 random tiny carcass

You wander across some interesting plants growing from the soil. You give them a sniff.. oooh, herbs!
Gather	You spend some time gathering the strange plants.	+1 random herb specific to biome
Use	You pick the herbs and use your claws against the rock underneath to form a chunky paste. Mmm.. tasty.	+5 HP

You briefly stop to smell the air, two diverging scents reaching your nose. Interesting.*
Follow the sweet scent	You follow the sweet scent and it seems to lead you to a strange wolf...	Option to befriend a new wolf**
Follow the bitter scent	Hmm, what could this be? You follow the scent for a while before arriving at the source.	+1 random cave-building item*** OR +1 Bone
Follow the delicious scent	You follow the trail of the delicious scent. It smells so good, you're excited as it gets stronger and stronger... And finally leads you to a small, scavenged carcass! It smells pretty fresh still, and you quickly finish off the rest.	+5% to 10% hunger
Follow the rancid scent	You're not quite sure what led you down this route until you spot a large creature up ahead. Ew.. it's on the turn, but maybe it could be useful for you.. least favourite pack member.	+1 random Meat Chunks
Follow the stinky scent	You race off after the stinky scent. Man, this is going to be such a good find! You keep chasing it, sniffing deeply.. Until it leads you to a pile of poop - probably fox poop. Oh. Guess you may as well roll in it now you're here! As you're rolling in the stinky poop, something prickles against your back.	+1 to 2 Silver Cones
* Only two of these options will be visible at any given time ** Option will only appear if you have an empty territory spot *** Cave-building materials include Large Branch, Large Leaf, and Large Rock.

You stop in your tracks - a very vulgar wolf is passing by, vandalizing the bird nests in the vicinity. Oh no, the eggs!
Clean Up	You huff and try to clean up the nests the best you can. Unfortunately some things can't be put back properly, so you decide you might as well take these.	+2 Nesting Material OR +1 random egg
Intervene	You approach the wolf, using your charm in an attempt to calm her down. Softened by your comments, she considers you thoughtful enough to stop the destruction and even decides to give you something nice in return.	+1 Lucky Foot
