Don't Awoo (350g Penalty) [July Mission Board]
As you brave the wilderness for more food, you hear the howl of wolves nearby. It looks like they’ve just brought down a massive buck, big enough to feed an entire pack… the hunger pangs return, gnawing at your empty stomach. When was the last time you had a proper meal? Do you have it in you to keep hunting for however many hours it takes, when there is food right here? Trying to steal from starving wolves is a big risk to take—you’ll become prey yourself if you’re not careful. But a deer that size could provide many meals to your friends and allies back in the monastery. You better act fast before the wolves devour every piece of meat. [Grants Lance +1]
In a world where magic brought light to inky darkness and heat to frozen lands, there was something fascinating about the creatures who did not have the means to cast such power. To have to turn to tooth and nail to fell their foes, to rely solely on body alone to determine their outcome...
Today, it would seem fate wasn't so kind to one. It was inevitable - the coordination performed by the wolves left little room for error. The game of hunter had ended as quickly as it began, and with their meal taken down, all the wolves had left to do was eat.
At least, that was the plan. But, as they would soon come to find, they weren't the only one in these woods. A predator would rival them, eyeing the fallen creature with intent, judging the size and make up of the creature.
Yes, this would do. As long as she was careful, she could enter, take what could and should be hers, and then be on her way. Things were not so simple, though. Just as she goes to fish a piece from the staving wolves...
She spots someone else making her way towards that same goal. She can't believe her eyes - of all the times to show up - but quickly, she finds the desire to press on. She would continue on in order take what was hers, and deny this person any right to the same.
All that was left was determining which her adversary would reach towards. Would it be their shared goal, or would she take arms against her now?
