You are a wolf and you are being hunted. Humans invaded your territory and stole all of your prey. Almost your entire pack starved to death in the winter. You and your pack leader survived by eating the corpses of the humans, and fighting. But even that wasn't enough.

You abandoned your territory, leaving your father behind, and sought out a new pack. It was then that you encountered Treebark, Guardian of the Woods, shortly before the great bear was slain by the weapons of man. You butchered his wounded assailants and fled, but now they are hunting you.

There is a lone human with three dogs. He is Hasdrubal, the Tracker, and he is coming for you. Looking down on him from the frigid mountain cliffs, you can see that his hounds are fast on the trail to your new pack's den, and you doubt Schatten will fight them off rather than flee.

You turn back from the cliffs edge before you’re spotted. The deer you took down will sustain you during the fight you know is coming. You don’t waste time trying to get all the meat off the carcass, instead you focus on the easiest parts to consume and fill your gut as best you can. The meat is warm and bloody, but age has made it tough. The fawn would have tasted better, but you’d need a pack to catch one of them. Maybe now that you’ve killed the buck you’ll be able to catch them though.

Hunger : 1/5

You leave barely enough for the scavengers to fight over, let alone enough to bring to the pack. You’ll need the strength.

When you descend the mountain slope you quickly find the human’s tracks. He’s headed directly for the den but doesn’t seem to be in much of a rush. You can smell the scent of the monsters on him, along with an overpowering smell of garlic. You’ve found wild garlic before, but they are sparse and weedy things, he has much more than that. The acid is enough to make you sneeze and waters your eyes despite how long it has been sitting.

The sun is starting to set.

Warn them.
Schatten will probably will not take kindly to our warnings, but we should warn them.
>>
>>29322303
By the way, wolves have certain howls for simple communication right? Like prey, and danger. If we are howling, we should howl danger so the wolves in den know there is danger close by.

>>
>>29322633
What's going to happen is the pack is going to get injured and split up and then the three hounds will hunt them each down in turn, running them down like prey because wolves favor survival while hounds have been trained to attack and attack and never give ground

You wanted to die with them? Also don't worry, some of them are injured but they can still put on a fight.
>>
>>29322663
They may survive but be injured, allowing us to save the day.

Schatten will likely either have a last stand or run like a pussy, both are good chances for us to take over as pack leader assuming anyone is left after that

In the former he may die, in the latter he is a pansy not fit to lead.

>>29322691
Our choice may allow us to survive where they do not, though a united stand may have worked out as well. At least if we come from the back we might be able to ambush the tracker who may be using a bow.
>>
>>29322663
>>29322691
>Fighting on an empty stomach

There are 3 normal female wolves in the pack, the gray beta that has some magic and the pack leader is a Vampire giga wolf.

Against 3 normal hunt dogs they would be fine

Famous Hunters often have famous hunting dogs too.

>>
>>29322744
We were at 4/5 hunger and we would hunger quicly while fighting. This will be a drawn out fight with so many opponents. Do you want to fight them while starving? Do you want to die? If some of the wolves of this pack dies, it is a shame but it is better than whitefang dieing just because he reckelssly fought for them
>>
You howl a cry of danger to your pack. Your voice bounds between the trees and you know Hasdrubal heard it. They wouldn’t send a hunter after a man killer that couldn’t identify it. He’ll be coming for you, although you are uncertain what he will do with the hounds. You start running along his trail, the scent of garlic making it easy to follow.

You keep your pace careful and stick to the shadows where you can. You’ve been living on this land for a few days now, you know it better than some trespassing human. You’re almost back to the den when his scent turns strange. Sensing the danger, you back away.

Above you, perched in a tree as if he were a songbird, is Hasdrubal. In his hands is a loose bow, and he is overlooking your den. Just like the one who nearly killed you at the great hill. You can hear the sounds of fighting in the pack. The snarling and yelping of pain. The sisters are the loudest, but Schatten is the fiercest. They’re fighting against the dogs, but likely do not know of Hasdrubal and are merely targets for him.

You accumulate hunger in one of two ways during a fight. You can Exert yourself to increase your crit dice pool range, or you can use Sword Dancer if he pulls a blade on you. Being at 5/5 hunger doesn't stop you from Fighting or anything

If we do this, we can get the fucker 1 on 1 and then retreat from dogs. Dogs will die in this territory without hunter.

Can we ram the tree or something to make him fall?
>>
>>29322794
>Reveal yourself to Hasdrubal and retreat, force him out of the tree

Distract the hunter. Three dogs are no match for four wolves and a legend unless they roll 3 17s

We will likely take an arrow to the gut for out trouble however. But we are better at dodging than the others, do not have dogs on us, and can probably survive more hits. Also can't die to ranged attacks, though we can be injured and finished off by a hound.

You snarl and bark at him, catching his attention for a moment. He spins and looses an arrow at you, but you start running back through the woods and the stick misses you. You stop just out of sight of him, and listen to see if he is climbing down. All you can hear is the snarling and snapping of fangs. Both the hounds and your pack seem to be taking wounds.

Then you hear the loud yelping and whining of the female wolf. Her breath is short and high, lacking almost all of her strength. Schatten starts barking as you walk back around, growling with palpable bloodlust.

Hasdrubal drops out of the tree in front of you, discarding the bow and pulling out his spear. He sees you and speaks. “Come Whitefang. No bow, spear.” He spins the spear around and brings it to point at you.

You can’t see the den from here, but you are very close.

You try to close in and attack him but he retreats, jabbing out with the spear. He’s hardly even trying to attack you, just wear you out it seems. His thrusts are half-hearted and never strike true, but they keep you dancing around him, burning far more energy than him. All you accomplish is backing him into a small clearing between trees.

The hounds are barking happily now, their bloodlust growing. Your pack is calling out for help and you can hear the sisters howling in the distance, a mournful and panicked reply.

The grey wolf bursts through the trees near you, running. Schatten and the female wolf must be going the other way. And you don’t see the hounds chasing after him. What was a five against three has become three against two, and you are certain Hasdrubal wounded the female wolf.

You turn and run in the direction the grey wolf came from. Hasdrubal takes his opportunity and stabs your back leg as you run, but you flee anyways. You bust through the trees and see the clearing around the den. Blood is everywhere, from the wolves and the hounds. You try to find Schatten’s scent, but you realize the purpose of Hasdrubal’s garlic. Your snout is still in disarray from the overbearing scent and you can’t discern the direction your pack took.

But then you hear Schatten’s growl and you take off. You overtake the pack of hounds as they pull the black wolf to the ground, biting at his heels and circling around him. Beyond him, the female wolf is limping on without him, Hasdrubal’s stick imbedded in her chest. She’s in no shape to escape the hounds, but has been managing somehow anyways.

The three dogs beneath you are heavily injured, but fight with an insane urge that drives them to the brink. Your pack did not scatter without a fight. The dogs haven't noticed you yet.

But you worry about what Hasdrubal is doing while you handle the hounds.

Get some sense people. We need Schatten, he's the only one able to fight with us. We're much stronger than the hounds, but we dont' do much damage to them, we need to cull them and isolate Hasdrubal

And there might have been a misunderstanding, but strongest and weakest is in terms of how much they've already been hurt. All of them are about as strong as an average wolf

But nooo, we have to attack every fucking human we come across.
No matter how strong we become, something stronger is going to turn up and be against us.

You leap down amidst them, scattering them from Schatten. You snarl and snap at them as they circle around you. They start sniffing the air around you and seem to recognize you. Their attention had been on the black wolf, but now they are solely focused on you. But you can take on these three pups.

Of the three of them, only one is unharmed, and one of them is close to death. But when you notice that, so does Schatten. He had gotten back to his feet behind you. When the two of you lunge forward to assault the weakened one, you collide and trip over one another. You tumble over one another through the snow, snarling at one another. When you get back to your feet, the three hounds close in.

You jump away and muscle past one, knocking it into the snow to make yourself a clearing. When you turn around, you see that the three hounds are focused solely on you, giving Schatten space. And something has changed about the black wolf. Shadows dance over his fur, obscuring him in the shadows of the trees and he stands much taller at the shoulder.

Blorp's quests were easy as fuck, babby mode tier. Wolf quest is the opposite of that.
I remember in Evoquest it didn't matter how many dice were rolled, the highest would be chosen. Ie. out of 30+ dice rolls, the best would be taken and nat1's didn't override anything.
Unsurprisingly, only once in the entire quest did a failure occur.

In Ogre quest, on a d100, only about 20 results would result in failure. Nat1 was a critical success, as was nat 100

>>29324624

You back up, drawing the hounds farther away from Schatten, and he understands your intent. The injured one drifts to the back of the pack, closest to Schatten. The two in front move to attack you the same moment Schatten pounces. The strongest of the hounds gets his mouth around your shoulder wound, tearing it back open, but you break through.

Health : 4

The weakened hound is yelping in pain as Schatten clamps down on his back, cracking his spine. His legs spasm and start kicking out as he twists around. The dog reveals its neck in its attempt to escape, and you rip it apart. You back off of the corpse to face the other hounds, hoping that they will back off, but they show no fear at all. They will not stop fighting till they perish.

Then you hear a strange noise, like the slurping of water and the cracking of ice. Behind you, Schatten is still biting onto the hound, but the corpse is twisting back and forth sporadically. When the black wolf finally releases his grip, blood falls out of his mouth. He snarls at the hounds with renewed vigor.

The two of you snarl at the hounds, and in unison charge the injured one. They put up a bit of a fight, but both of you are stronger than a normal wolf. Both of you are fueled by something more. The injured hound goes down quickly, as they snap without success. When you gore out its throat, you turn on the final hound while Schatten bites down on the corpse. The same draining and cracking of the carcass happens, and Schatten stands even taller, his wounds sealing up.

The hound fights bravely, but is just one dog. You are Whitefang, Terror of the Woods, and you tear the beast apart with your pack leader. When it finally lays dead in the snow, Schatten descends on it. You check the other dogs and confirm that the blood is completely missing. Whatever Schatten is, it is unnatural.

Then you hear Hasdrubal, he is shouting for you to come to him and laughing. You peer between the branches back to the den to see him.

He stands alone in the center of the clearing, with the grey wolf dead and slung over his shoulder.

You back away silently. He is a strong foe, not one you would be able to kill by yourself. You turn to Schatten, who fought by your side. He walks up beside you, blood still dripping from his mouth, and looks into the clearing. He bares his fangs, but his tail drops. Just when you think to move in for the attack, he backs away. You watch as he trots in the opposite direction and stops to look back to you.

It seems he doesn’t plan to fight Hasdrubal.

You can hear the female wolf and her sisters in the far distance, the three of them met back up after fleeing. Schatten is leaving to join them.

Your tail drops as he leaves you behind.

You look between the human and Schatten. The grey wolf died because of you, and the human is too strong to take on by yourself. You turn and follow Schatten. The sisters are busy cleaning the female wolf’s wound when you find them. Schatten growls and doesn’t stop for them. They look around, testing the air, looking for the grey wolf. When their attention comes to you, you roll your ears back and continue on. The two of them understand and snarl in the direction of Hasdrubal, but get to their feet and start following.

The female wolf is the last to rise, you stop to watch her. The injury has severely impaired her speed. She won’t be able to help in hunting for a while, and will need to be fed. But she endures the pain. You trot alongside her as you follow the pack leader through the territory, to the next den. The sun has fallen well below the mountains by the time you find the small shelter you’ll rest in.

A few trees had fallen onto one another, a crude and poor shelter at best, but better than burrowing in the snow. The other four head into the den while you climb atop a rock to look behind you. Hasdrubal followed, and you barely gained any ground on him at all, his fire is perhaps an hour away.

When you go back to the den to join your pack, Schatten jumps out. He snarls and barks, blocking your passage. He isn’t going to let you join them, and the others are too injured to intervene.

Hide and rest somewhere outside. In case the hunter decides to attack the den in the morning or during the night we can flank/ambush him.
Make sure to cover our tracks and scent if we can. We could try sleeping under snow or something.

Hide, when the hunter arrives schatten will either fight him and you can jump in and finish off the hunter after schatter and him injure each other.

Or schatten will escape and leave the hunter alone with you and the 2 injured bitches (I mean no insult here), in which case its 3v1 and they might just follow you after/if the hunter is defeated (assuming they survive the fight)

Yes, I mean, he is the alpha of a pack and some vampire freak, he probably outsmarted such hunters a couple of times.

You back off from him and start looking for somewhere else to sleep. He snarls and watches every step you take. When you finally curl up against a pine, he huffs and returns to his pack. You know Hasdrubal will be upon you soon though. You keep your head up, in the freezing wind, and wait. You imagine the pack must be warm, which must be good for their wounds. The cuts and tears in your shoulder have continually scarred and broken again, leaving it in a constant dull agony.

A small amount of snow has started to fall, and you worry your wound will freeze, but you’d have to fight to share in the warmth of the den. So you wait.

And Hasdrubal does not come.

Eventually, you fall asleep. When you awaken, you’re half covered in snow. You stand up, your muscles stiff and slow moving. You walk back to the overlook from which you saw Hasdrubal’s fire. It is no more, not even a wisp of smoke.

Behind you, the pack crawls out of the den. They take turns testing the air before turning and starting towards the next den. When you move to follow behind, Schatten snaps at you and stands his ground.

Might as well play the soon-to-be loner again, but we need to be prepared for breaking off and away from them later. The rest of the pack is going to follow Schatten, and Schatten has to think of his group's wellbeing first and foremost, above all else.

We won't be able to get their support unless we kill him and take over as alpha, and we're in no shape to do that right now ( nor would the pack be of any use to us in their current state, outside of everyone protecting everyone from the hunter ).

He's doing that now. Why do think he keeps telling us to get lost? We're not good for his pack, the Hunter might go after them because of their involvement with us.

If I were him, I would kill our wolf after we had significant distance from the Hunter, or severely wound our wolf. Teach him his place, leave him as a decoy in case the hunter thinks about coming after us after.

You look over the pack. The sisters were aloof, but had been warming up to you and would have soon accepted you as another pack member. The female wolf had been your aly since the beginning. Schatten is their leader though, and he won’t have you any more. He recognized the smell of human blood on you when you arrived, and knew you would bring trouble upon the pakc. Now that you have, he’s trying to cut his losses. It’s nothing personal.

You turn and leave with your tail between your legs. You descend down the mountain to the thicker forest. When you’re out of sight, you hear the female wolf howl after you.

Father is strong, there is a reason why the both survived. Seeking temporary solace with him while recouping would be ideal, getting father to join in taking leadership for this new pack might be a good idea. There seems to be food here, I am assuming father is starving if he did not leave?

I'm not sure the distance, but without finding a place far enough from the Hunter to heal, we won't be able to take him alone.

well, some aim for the sex i am sure.
But those that don't should still want her in the pack

As a female wolf she will never be a threat to our pack authority. Male wolves will fight each other for dominance and might drive each other away (to ensure they are the only one who mates).

Female wolves only fight other female wolves for dominance and its more rare that they drive each other away. (since they can share the alpha male... that being said, sometimes they do drive away another females based on pack politics).

So yea, the ideal packmates for a wolf are the opposite gender
>>
>>29328135
Not quite true.
>>
>>29328135
the fuck? I am pretty sure the alpha male mates with all the females.
>>
>>29328135
Usually. Sometimes bachelors run around pimping themselves, sometimes couples break up and look for new mates.
>>
>>29328196
nah, alpha mates with the best, but the females usually prefer a lesser male than being fourth pickings I believe

Depends on the individuals really
>>
I love this thread.

I was going to explain why, but I was not sure where to start.
>>
>>29328196
well, some google shows the alpha male mates with alpha female and the others don't mate at all. Probably to conserve the food supply.
However they are serially monogamous, that is, when the alpha status shifts they switch.
So, you can impregnate bitch a, then she loses her alpha status to bitch b and now you are with bitch b.
Then you lose to male wolf c, now he is with bitch b.

to call the above "monogamy" is horribly misleading
>>
>>29328196
A pack can usually only afford a single litter, so they stick with alpha pairings most of the time.
>>
You howl back to her. A sad parting, but one you are sure will not be the last parting. The whispering in your soul tells you that Hasdrubal was listening. You take off down the slope, bounding down through the drifts of snow as fast as you can. You fly down the mountain, coming down upon a frozen stream and following that down till it joins with more streams.

Then you catch the scent of a squirrel. It’s exposed on the river bank, throwing snow away as it digs down to the ground. in its search for its stored food, it lost sight of its surroundings. You sprint up on it, only being noticed when your breath is already upon it. The poor vermin tries to run away, but only makes it a few feet before you scoop it up and snap it in half.

You trot over to a small stone clearing swept clear of snow and lay down to peel the meat off of the squirrel as quickly as you can. Hasdrubal will surely be upon you soon. As you are chewing the nutty vermin, you notice that you are sitting next to another stone outcropping, similar to the other one, but larger. The snow was cleaned off by something living, not the wind.

You can hear a human nearby slowly walking and breathing heavily, but there is no scent of garlic.

You snatch up what remains to be eaten of the squirrel and slip out of sight before the human can reach the top of the hill. You step behind an old oak tree as the human appears. A gentle breeze carries his scent to you; smoke, sweat, honey, and goats. He is garbed in simpler furs than the other humans, ones much less protective though you imagine the goat fur would be warmer. He only carries a simple branch in his hands, and there is no stone tip to it.

When he reaches the stones, he kneels down. You left behind some bones and blood. “Schatten?” the human asks, squinting his eyes and peering into the woods. But his eyes do not seem to be very helpful, as he does not spot you. He shrugs and sets the branch across his legs and sits.

Then something speaks to him. You do not know where it comes from, or how you understood. But it is a warning. He grips the branch strongly and stands up, looking through the woods. The goat man had seemed docile, but a spark had ignited in him.

Of course, I am sure that is what the voices are warning him for.

But (in my opinion) we should only be a nightmare to those who harm the wilds, if this man reveres nature then he is not a target in my mind.

I fully intend to keep devouring the soldiers who have overhunted our game though.

Nature is scary. Old druids and pagans performed rituals of appeasement to avoid its wrath.

That kid we ate at the start of all this didn't overhunt our game. His father likewise only got all up in our shit cause we ate his son
>>
>>29329122
Nature is scary and we were starving.

Maybe that kid should have thought about not standing on a cliff over an area home to starving wolves man. You don't get to complain about being eaten by a bear if you walk into its cave and break your ankle when it is starving.

Also all those humans seem to be dead, killed by the attackers.

>>29329231
Nevermind I recall them being routed. But the father is dead.

We just didn't get our ass pounded immediately. I wish that was a flee roll so we could get the hell away but it was just encountering this attacker. We didnt get damaged, nice so what now?
>>
>>29329652
It was a flight roll, so we're going somewhere

Or dodging something.

>>29329679
when we aren't trying to kill our opponent, flight rolls are used to dodge attacks

We flee
hopefully

You hesitantly step out from behind the tree, the tail of the squirrel still hanging from your mouth. You step cracks the ice beneath your paw, making the slightest of noises. The human spins to face you, holding the branch as if it were spear. “Schatten?” he asks, but then he tilts his head to the side as if something were whispering to him, but there is only the wind. “Whitefang.”

A blur of movement catches your eye high in the sky. You drop the squirrel and run, narrowly avoiding the arrow. The man turns from you to face where the arrow came from. You can see another human coming down the slope, bow in hand. Hasdrubal has caught up with you. The human who smells of goats tilts his head to the side again as he faces Hasdrubal. Then he calls out to him, “Hasdrubal, leave.”

There is something in these stones. There is nothing special about the man, his presence does not stir any sparks of power. But something is not right. The wind blows again and the man who smells of goats starts to step between you and Hasdrubal.

Holy shit are we actually going to just stand here? Hasdrubal just tried to shoot us and this place is making us uneasy. At least get out of sight and hide.

I bet Schatten isn't even a wolf, and is actually some kind of romanian werewolf/vampire and a relative of Goat Man

You snarl and spread your stance out as Hasdrubal approaches. The two humans start exchanging words which you can only partially understand. Your name comes up, Treebark, Tracker, fight, monster, charm. You see Hasdrubal approach the human, focusing entirely on him rather than you. He gestures to the stones behind the man who smells of goats.

Hasdrubal laughs and pushes the old man out of the way. You back off as he walks up between the stones and starts pulling on the furs around his waist. Then the man who smells of goats roars and swings his branch at Hasdrubal. The trained hunter easily dodges it, and in one fluid motion draws his human claw and sinks it into the man’s gut.

You snarl as the wind picks up and starts blowing through the forest fiercely. Shards of snow and ice are getting picked up and thrown about with it as if it were a storm. Hasdrubal laughs as he pulls the stone out of the old man. He turns to you, but blinks and turns away. He holds up his hand, but the wind is too strong. He grunts in pain as he covers his eyes and stumbles back.

Whatever power you felt before is amplified now, and focused on Hasdrubal. You bare your fangs.

And now I'm calling it to get food
