For those of you new to Wolf Quest, the mechanics are highest of first three d20s after the post asking for them, even if they aren't linked here. If it is a Fight check, you add your Fight modifier (+6), if it is a Flight check, you add Flight (+5)

This roll is the DC to beat

Treebark didn't become the Guardian of the Woods by dodging, and you've been stabbed deeply in the shoulder

The night is still and stormless, but the pines still rustle against the snow. You can smell a hundred scents in the air, the springhead, fresh sap, burnt tar, the excrement of death, human blood, human sweat and fear, you can smell the entire night. Right down to when he will loose the stick.

You dash forward as he releases the bow, breaking his concentration. His aim pulls high and the stick goes well above you. He throws his arms across his body as you lunge. In his hand is one of the small stones the humans fight with when all else is lost. Your forefangs are larger than before, and nearly get in the way of you biting onto his arms, but your mouth opens just wide enough. You clamp down before he can stab you, piercing through and cracking the bone.

You snort and readjust your teeth, your breath washing against his face. You can finally see his eyes clearly. His body may be afraid, but he has accepted death.

This fucking quest man

The human growls, trying to push you up with his injured arm. You break away from him, letting his arm fly up in the air. He tries to stab forward with the stone, but the surprise gives you the opportunity. Your maw clamps down on this throat, ready to rip and tear. You can feel the saliva building up in your mouth as you bite, but something hard encircles his throat, far stronger than a mere bone.

You can feel the movement of air against your fur as he tries to stab again, giving you just enough time to release and leap away. Your teeth hurt and a sappy texture fills the space between them and your jowls, rather than the warm blood that should. The human staggers to his feet, loosely holding the stone in your direction. The human is laughing and scratching at his throat. You can see two gashes where your teeth ripped through and the blood they spill, but you didn’t taste any of it.

You snarl as he reaches within his furs to pull out a loop of leather studded with fangs. “Monster Charm,” he says as he widens his stance and bounces on the balls of his feet. “Come.” The human smiles, his mouth filled with fangs.

Just stop this fuckin thought process. You dont have to get everyone the brik of death then leave them to spread your word. A massacre will spread the word just fine too. Also humans are not the only way to get legends.
And last but most importantly, you are playing a motherfucking wolf. Play it and have fun, stop powergaming with meta stuff. You are oing it wrong anyways.

hm

This human is strange. He is not like the others, something protected him. The whispering in your soul pulls you towards the charm around his neck. This power is not his own, it is a borrowed thing and he knows not how to use it. In just that small exchange, he lost his fear and found new confidence, even the pain from his injuries seem to be gone.

The arm you bit hangs limp at his side, but it was his off arm and does you little good. He laughs and makes half lunges at you, forcing you to dance back and forth. The exertion of battle is beginning to wear on you. Hunting is a slow process of running followed by only moments of attacking, and you always had help. This has been long and arduous by yourself, without your pack.

He should be bleeding out, be in shock from fear, numb from pain. His borrowed power has given him too much confidence. He is still just a human. The charm did not protect his arm, it didn’t protect him from Treebark’s attack, it won’t protect him from everything, even if it has let him force you up against the edge of the cliff.

The quest rewards risk greatly.

We are gambling with our lives, and each time we win our life gets a little harder to lose.

But eventually we will run out of luck.

Never thought I'd need to drag this out again

Since it's not terribly funny, but still. God damn

>>29303217
That's not right though.
We get more stronger through legends. We can build legends without taking massive risks and fighting stuff stronger than us. This isn't you typical level gaining mechanic.

We could grow our legend by attacking 1-2 men at once, terrorizing a village without attacking anyone, killing livestock, etc. After we get strong and powerful enough, we could attack small groups of weaker humans and keep the legends growing.

There are many different ways of getting legends besides attacking straight on.

>>29303481
They are invading our and you expect us to do nothing?

Rolled 20 + 5

>>29303481
Less risk, less legendary, less reward.

Killing livestock is a pretty shitty way to become a legend. Also less likely to get us killed, but unless we drain the blood from the corpses or something the most we would ever get is 'That Wolf That Keeps Eating Our Chickens'

Attacking trained soldiers might be too far in the other direction, but up until that last unlucky roll it was badass as fuck and highly rewarding, was it not?

fuck Hircine, he's the worst daedra

The human licks his lips and smiles as he waves you over. “Come monster, come,” he says as he widens his stance as an invitation. He thinks he’s better than you. You snarl and accept. You dash forward and leap into the air. He pulls back and stabs at you, sinking his stone into your side and dislocating two of your ribs. The lance of pain in your lung brings back memories of the arrow that nearly killed you.

But it was a pain you knew you’d take. Your leap carries through and lands you atop him, knocking him to the ground. He grunts in pain as he tries to stop you with his injured arm. The stone in your side gets twisted and rips deeper into you, but he loses his grip on it. You bite down at his neck, but don’t go for the kill. Instead, you grab the leather cord and rip it off of him, shaking it in your mouth before tossing it aside.

The human shouts out as the charm tumbles over the side of the cliff. Saliva drips off your fangs. He’s distracted, and fear ridden. He is prey.

I don't agree. Depends on livestock. If they have cows, you bet there would some terrified legends about a beast that can drag away and eat an entire cow (should we manage).
Even if not, we still could make a legend of being fast, unseen, smart, sneaky, etc. Not every legend has to be about power.

>Attacking trained soldiers might be too far in the other direction, but up until that last unlucky roll it was badass as fuck and highly rewarding, was it not?
Did you take part in the first Wolf Quest? I seem to remember that we did well untill we suddenly got our shit wrecked. Of course, swimming against the current didn't help either.

>>29303580
Ehh, never said that. Just that we shouldn't go seeking unnecessary fights with strong foes. Build enough legends to be able to take them on and in case shit goes south, we have means of retreating and recovering.


>>29303693

You're more likely to be stuck in a constant blizzard that follows you everywhere than to be able to summon one

>>29304032
If tales were told of a great white wolf who only showed himself in blizzards, then perhaps the tales would say the blizzard follows him.

You would probably die in the blizzard before managing that legend though.

>>29304065
That sound awesome.

>>29304065
Hardcore. This is also acceptable.

>>29304098
we would also probably starve, because every prey with half a brain would hide from a coming blizzard, but yeah

You bite down, letting your extended fangs shred his neck with ease. He goes limp as if nothing had been holding him together except blind hope. He might have died on his own on the way back to his pack. You release the corpse and step away, staggering to one side before dropping down on your haunches to bite the stone out of your side. New pain flourishes inside you as blood starts to fill your fur, but it would have been worse to leave in.

You get back to your feet and walk over to the cliffs edge. The moon is just visible over the edge of the mountains. The moon’s smile is great tonight, and looks down on your work. A great creature, Treebark, the Guardian of the Woods, fell tonight, at the hands of the humans. They proved him to be nothing more than an old bear, too weakened to protect himself from their weapons and numbers. He fought alone, and would have died alone if you had not arrived. You howl into the night.

Your father howls back first, but then you hear the other wolf pack howl. You will have comrades in these woods, but first you must recover. You can see the fires of humans climbing down from the great hill and swarming. They will be here soon.

A ravening hunger has taken hold in your body. Unsated you will never recover. These humans were your prey, and now you will feast.

You start with the charm human. He was physically weak and put up a far greater struggle than he should have. You tear open his gut and eat through his diaphragm to rip out his heart. It tastes just like any other. His liver on the other hand is fatty and sickened with lumps and foul flavors to it. Then you move to the human who wounded you with the large stone. He was the biggest and strongest of the humans, his meat would be the finest but you focus on his delicate organs.

Crows begin to arrive and you can see nocturnal vultures circling the moon overhead. You move to the fire carrier and devour his organs before the scavengers can steal from you. The last human you go to is the one Treebark killed. Eating the guardian’s kill leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but only in your head.

Health : 3
Hunger : 0/5

Just as you move to Treebark’s corpse, you smell the humans. The fire carrier that ran must be leading them back. The bear’s hide and fur are thick and resistant. You won’t have time.

Just want to say that I'm taking suggestions on how to deal with the vagueness of a wolf not instantly knowing names and such. Should I start referring to humans by their smell? Because that would be a bit of a stretch when they're all sleeping in shit and mud with the horses day in and day out

Then again, I can reasonably feed you names of legendary characters

How about you tell us the names of the ones we kill?

>>29305346
But I need to have discrete references for them while you're fighting so you know who is what

>>29305299
Well, I guess noone would really know how a wolf perceives smell when it comes to humans, but I believe they do have unique memorable scents.

Probably have this one smell like booze, another like cheap whores, and this one is overly sweaty and unwashed.

>Flee to the shadows and watch

>>29305299
Using the words we know works fine. Like charm man, spear man asn such.

Flee far away just barely has it, writing

>>29305299
If they smell like something other than shit and mud and horses, sure. Otherwise I don't think we should understand names. If anything we could learn the word but misidentify the meaning/not understand it only refers to an individual human, at least to start off with. All torch carriers are named Bert, Ernies are human alpha males, etc.

With your stomach full enough, you trot back into the woods. The ice you used to be able to walk across seems weaker than before. Almost every step sends you breaking through until you’re forced to jump with every step to make progress. Slow as it may be, you escape from the cliff’s edge. You leave behind the carnage of the battle and let the woods wrap around and shield you from their eyes.

You resume your ascent of the mountains, searching for the true territory of the other pack. The climb is hard, but you find the scent of the female wolf at last. The snow had tried to bury it, but the winds brought it back to the surface. You stuff your nose to the ground, tracking back and forth as you climb. Her scent is joined by another, then a third, two of her sisters. You reach the top of the winding path, the ridge between two mountain tops, and look down on the other side.

It looks much the same as your territory, but there is no great hill. The snow covered forest is sparse, but spreads wide in the valley between mountains. A web of small streams join together as they pour down from the springs, frozen over from the winter. The howling of the pack is nearby.

You return their howl, calling out for them, and descend into their territory. The scent of the three sisters is soon joined by two others, unrelated males. The smell gets stronger and stronger, dotted by their musks. And then you find them

The five wolf pack is gathered in a small clearing between a copse of pines. The female wolf is there, along with her two sisters. One of them has a vibrant white cross over her chest, the other is a dull grey. Of the two males, one is clearly the alpha. He is larger and stronger than the grey wolf, and his coat is an unnatural dark black.

The female wolf recognizes you at once, but the alpha growls, backed up by the two grey wolves.

>Growl back, you will not be cowed by him

I doubt he is bigger than us, we have grown thanks to our legend/nightmare.

However we are rather injured. 3 health left I believe, I assume he has 5. Which I suppose is effectively 4, thanks to our Go For The Throat trait.

Then again perhaps he has a bit more health thanks to being an alpha.

>Wanting to fight a big alpha with 3 health

It would at least be a good idea to rest up before an engagement, I think our max health was 9 before, maybe more soon since the treebark incident.

You can convey general meaning but nothing complicated. About as much communication as you had with your father

/Just/ go to wolfu. Let the alpha be the leader of the pack for now. A lone wounded wolf doesnt just come and take over a pack.

>>29306353
Doesn't quite work that way.

>>29306407
It's more like "I'm the leader here"

I think at least.
Which is fine. We don't want to start no shit. We can always leave if we don't like it here.

>>29306503
So a "you gonna be my bitch" growl.
I can deal. Meekness it is.

You snap back at the alpha. He is a large wolf, scars dot his body from tooth and stone. He did not become this pack’s alpha by chance. A name comes to your mind, Schatten. Then you notice the smell. Each of them smells of deer. They ate recently, there is still food here.

You walk down the slope between the trees to join them in the clearing. The female wolf is the first to approach you. You greet, bringing up memories of each other’s smell from when the two of you met over a week ago. Then she finds the wounds in your shoulder and side. She whines and starts licking them. Taking the cue of familiarity between the two of you, her two sisters come over to smell you. The male in the pack retreats to the den, a spacious recess in the clay hill.

You quickly learn the scents of the two sisters while Schatten paces around you. He can smell the human blood on you and recognizes it. While you chose to fight them, he must have chosen to run from them. He growls at you again and the two sisters back away from you. But the female wolf growls back at him. It’s short, but tells you enough of their relation.

You bare your fangs at him as he walks past to enter the den with the two sisters, but he doesn’t see. The four of them lay down on one side of the den, and Schatten stares at you.

>Rest on the opposite side of the den

You and Wolfu are the only ones not in the den

>>29307248
>Rest on the opposite side of the den
Maybe Wolfu will keep us company

As the pack settles in for the night, you follow behind. The cold outside is quickly cut by the warmth of the den. The heat of a pack like a small fire compared to the lonesome nights spent on the edge of the river. Dreariness swells inside of you as finally start to relax. Perhaps it is merely the loss of blood though.

You start sniffing around the pack, finding a suitable place to curl up. Then Schatten jumps up and snaps at you. As he growls the other three wolves perk up and snarl, swinging their heads from side to side, uncertain where the threat is. When they start to settle back down, you bare your fangs at Schatten. But never the less, you turn and walk over to the other side of the den and lay down in a small depression. The female wolf curls up with the pack, but at the farthest side from Schatten.

The black wolf watches you as you fall asleep, but you lack the energy to stay awake.

Several uneasy days pass with the pack. You clean yourself in a frigid pond, shedding the dried blood from your body. Removing the overbearing scent of human from you does wonders for the peace of the pack, but Schatten never accepts you. For five days you travel at the back of the pack, always sleeping on the far side of the den. Game is scarce, but not so much that you are starving. You are given the leftovers of a large deer the pack took down, but that was on the first day. The four days after, you went hungry.

Health : 7
Hunger : 4/5

When you awaken, the female wolf is curled beside you, and Schatten is nowhere to be seen. You’ve travelled far into their territory and been allowed to stay with them by the blessing of the female, but your stomach hungers.

Pa wouldn't leave. It's his own fault.

You rise from the small den you had been sleeping in. The female wolf notices you leaving, but stays resting. Outside, the two sisters are running circles around the area, searching for scents. The grey wolf is sitting against a tree, watching you. Schatten is gone, but you could likely find him by scent.

Your stomach growls. You leave the clearing in a random direction and start searching. All through the hills and the trees you can find the traces of prey, but all of them are too small or too stale. You criss cross your path back and forth, getting farther and farther away from the den until you catch a scent. Two scents actually.

This area of the valley is much lower than where the dens have been, and holds the scent of a herd of goats. A great many of them are somewhere nearby. But just under your feet you can smell a hare. Before you can make a decision on which to hunt down, you see the white blur of the hare bolt out from hiding and you give chase.

It knows the area better than you, but you’re faster. You burst out from the trees behind it and crash through a frozen stream before overrunning it and snatching it up in your jaws. A quick flick of your neck wrings its back and ends its life. The hare is fat, but not much food. A meager meal at best, if it were split.

Then you notice the smell of human. You swing your head around in search, but find none nearby. The snow is covered in the odd lumps that humans leave as tracks, so one must come here frequently. But the only thing here is an odd stone.

The stone makes you uncomfortable.
