Try to hunt down one or two animals?
Move on?
You sneak closer to reach a good firing position…
The karens have sensed you! They jump away in a blind panic!
You stand up and choose your targets…
Firun has turned his back on you today! All your arrows miss!
One of the animals falls down fatally wounded.
Well done! Two karens collapse and die.
You have no distance weapons!
You can see some wild pigs in a clearing, searching for edible roots.

You have disturbed a cave bear! The animal looks furious.
do you
Get the hell out of here?
Stay and fight?
A fight ensues…
After exchanging a number of blows, you drive the bear back into the cave. Unfortunately, you haven’t escaped unscathed and have a number of small wounds to take care of.
You take flight with the bear’s hot breath on your neck. Half an hour later, the cave bear finally breaks off pursuit and it takes another full hour before you are back on the road.
You disturbed a kvill adder…
[NAME] was bitten on the leg! With an angry hiss, the snake disappears into the tall grass.

Suddenly, the whole ship shudders, nearly dumping you overboard. Large tentacles full of suckers snake up the hull. A krakennewt!
You grab your weapons and start hacking at the tentacles!
[NAME] is caught by a tentacle and can only just manage to get free again!
[NAME] is grabbed by one of the tentacles and pulled into the water!
After some strong blows, the krakennewt flees to the open sea.
There’s an aurochs grazing in a small clearing in front of you.

Avoid the obviously nervous animal?
Kill the aurochs?
On your approach, the aurochs jumps and flees.
In doing so, it almost levels your entire party as it speeds by. [NAME] can only avoid being hit by a dive into the bushes.
About half an hour later, you reach the road again.
There is a rhinoceros grazing peacefully in front of you. But it is well known how easy it is to rile up a rhino’s temper.
do you
Try and avoid the giant mound of flesh?
Hunt the rhino down?
As you approach, the rhino’s head jerks up. Its beady little eyes are watching you with intense concentration.
Without warning, the animal attacks! You jump into the brush, but [NAME] is too slow and gets hit by the rhino!
After about half an hour, you’re back on the road.
You see a white and red striped sail on the horizon.
The ship comes closer. It changes course towards you!
You notice with terror that the sailors coming alongside are pirates! About a handful of bearded freebooters enter your ship.
