[color=00a651][center][h3]Agar[/h3][/center] [center][h3]// Something smells >> A new foe or maybe a friend? //[/h3][/center][/color] The mushrooms were easy enough to get too and the cat snake thing wasn’t any wiser to him being as close as he was to it. This led to his assumption that the mud was indeed hiding his scent and blending him in to the environment combined with the muffle skill was adequately effective at hiding him from most of the local critters when they were not actively searching for him. After slowly picking the last of the mushroom’s movement to his immediate left made him freeze and tense. A strange coloration he had not seen before made itself known to him. A strange colored wolf about the same size of the wolves he knew from home stalked around the edge of the tree line. He could see its gaze fixated on the cat. It didn’t look like the wolf was injured but it was hungry, so much he could tell by how its skin clung to its bones. Perhaps it was like the wolves back home, they worked better in a pack to bring down larger prey. This one might have gotten itself kicked out of the pack or it was a solitary hunter and just had poor luck. Either way it would be nice to have a friend he could rely on again, the sudden flash of an old memory of his hunting dog Kevin. A black lab who was always up for a hunting trip, a loyal friend. It was a possibility at least until he tried. He wasn’t as naive to think that the harpy meat he had in his pouch would be enough to gain the trust of the creature but depending on how this upcoming fight between the two animals went he could very well at least try. Until then he could at least make an attempt to prepare himself for the possibility that the wolf just attacks him outright. So, he slowly reached into his pouch and withdrew the small gland of dried Tatzelwurm powder. With the addition of some saliva, he mixed the dried powder onto the end of his wooden spear slowly coating it with his free hand onto the sharpened tip being sure to wipe his hand off slowly on the grass next to him and resumed a ready position so he would be ready to move if he had too.
