Explore encounters



Encountered in CF
A cougar leaps in front of you, hissing menacingly. You recoil at the smell of its hot, stinky breath and snarl in reply. It whips its tail toward you and you have to quickly duck away to avoid the odd, massive growth at the end. This is just a normal cougar, but that tail looks uncomfortable. Maybe that's why it's so angry?

Chase off OR Stand your ground

Stand your ground;
This cat doesn't look so tough; it's in your territory, anyway! You stand your ground, resolved not to let this feline intimidate you in your own home. A staring contest ensues. Eventually the cougar decides you aren't worth it and backs off, dragging the mass on its tail behind it. It looks red and swollen and you see patches of dried blood on places where it injured it in the past. You feel somewhat sorry for it as it disappears.

You got +1 CS !

Encountered in the Mountains
Even from afar, you can tell that there is something wrong with this wolf. It's not only freezing, but probably very sick as well. The wolf looks disoriented and its fur is in poor condition. It will need more than just a warm place to get better.

Give healing salve OR share food

Give healing salve doing this for all of yall lmao
You can't help more right now, but you hope that this simple treatment will give this wolf some time until the weather gets better. The wolf nods gratefully, accepting your gift but you both know that it may not be enough. Before you part your ways, the wolf asks you to accept a small gift. The look in its eyes tells you that it simply does not know if it will live long enough to use it.

You got +1 CS !

You got +1 Bearberry!
Share food;
You offer a Muskrat Carcass (4 uses left) to the wolf. Perhaps it's not much but it should give this wolf some time and energy to survive this weather. The sad look in its eyes tells you what you both know: fate is an uncertain thing, and it may not be enough. This is why the wolf has decided to share a secret with you. Before it leaves, it tells you about a hiding place nearby and allows you to take everything that you find.

You got +1 CS !

You got +1 Arnica, +1 Ibis Feather, +1 Bear Fangs, +1 Gull Feather, +1 Gull Feather!
Additional encounters provided
+1 CS and +1 Bearberry, +1 Toucan Feather, +1 Canine Claw, +1 Gull Feather, +1 Gull Feather
+1 CS. Also got +1 Goldenseal, +1 Puffin Feather, +1 Snake Skull, +1 Odd Teeth, +1 Odd Teeth
+1 CS. +1 Carrionflower, +1 Acorn, +1 Owl Feather, +1 Swan Feather, +1 Swan Feather.
+1 CS. Also got +1 Arnica, +1 Acorn, +1 Peregrine Falcon Feather, +1 Gull Feather, +1 Gull Feather.
(drops 1 herb and four random amusement items, pulling from trophy drops too?)

You enter an area destroyed by an earthquake. You have no idea when it happened, but everything looks like it was just a short time ago. Collapsed trees are everywhere on the bumpy, freshly shaken ground. You can hear a weak whine from afar. Upon closer inspection, you notice a trapped, malnourished wolf.

Try to free the wolf;
As soon as you free the wolf, you notice a change in its stare. It may still be in shock, or perhaps there are other factors causing this change in behavior. The wolf jumps at you with a growl and you prepare for a fight. Your opponent has already been weakened, so it doesn't take long to pin it to the ground and force it to surrender. It still manages to get a few hits in, and you growl in annoyance at the stinging in your side. You lost -5 HP!

Encountered in the DF
The stink of humans passes your nostrils, and you hear loud noises and brush crashing nearby. You quickly hide, and observe from a safe distance. They stand tall and are wearing all black, with devices that beep and blink ominously. They shout back and forth, taking no care to hide their presence. What are they doing here?
Wait OR Follow
Follow;
The humans haven't noticed you, so you take the opportunity to follow them. They space themselves out in a horizontal line and disrupt the brush, shine lights everywhere, and hover their devices over different areas. It seems like they're looking for something, but what? They'll never find anything making all of this racket. It's interesting for a while, but eventually you tire and become bored. They don't seem harmful, and there's no more information to glean. You decide to head back.

You got +1 CS !

Encountered in the DF
A young blacktail buck struggles to keep up with his herd, trying to run in vain. He's limping heavily, likely injured from trying to outrun the danger. You doubt he will make it to safety before he's caught up in the disaster.
Kill OR Ignore
Kill;
He's in pain, so killing him is a mercy anyway. He wouldn't have made it long. You hurry to take your prize back to your pack before the disaster is upon you.

You got +1 Blacktail Carcass!

Encountered in DF
A strange, faint herbal scent catches your attention and leads you to an unusual object hanging on a nearby branch. You think it resembles a human, but it could also be an ape... or maybe it was anything with four limbs. A dense and unsettling aura surrounds this place, making it both fascinating and scary at the same time.
Investigate;
When you look at this strange, straw doll, you think that the puppies in your den would probably love it but there is something that makes you hesitate from taking it. The closer you approach, the less confident and safe you feel, just as if someone--or something--was observing you. Better to leave it here but you can't resist one touch. When you poke the object, something falls out of it.

You got +1 Feverfew, +1 Ginger!
Unrecorded encounter rewards; got +1 Ginger, +1 Feverfew. ORĀ  lost -2% energy on Kitchi (#1844886) (Lead Wolf). Also lost -3 HP on Kitchi (#1844886) (Lead Wolf).

A large carcass sits abandoned, stiff and bloated. The creature, whatever it is, has been dead a while and is nearly unrecognizable. It's definitely some sort of hooved animal.
Scavange;
You scavenge around the smelly carcass and manage to find a few useful things. Not too shabby!

Bone Bone
You got +2 Bone!

Encountered in the prarie
You can't be sure at first, but the soft whine reaching your ears sounds familiar. You rush towards the sound as fast as you could and discover a group of scared wolf pups, frozen with fear. Completely exposed and vulnerable, they won't stand a chance if any predator finds them here.

Try to find their pack;
The scent of other wolves is strong enough to try and track them. You ask the puppies to wait, telling them that they will be safe soon. After following the trail for a while, you find a pack of wolves but to your surprise, they don't listen to you about the lost pups. Is it possible that it's not the right pack? What's more, the closer you get, the more hostility you're greeted with. They begin to attack you, and you manage to fend them off long enough to run away. The pups are gone when you return, and you're left exhausted and injured. You lost -3% energy! You lost -2 HP!

Encountered in the Mountains, Tundra
The pile of branches, leaves, feathers, and grass you stumble upon still has the shape of a nest but it's completely destroyed. Its size indicates that it must have been created by a very large bird but you don't see nor sense any of them around at the moment.

Check it out

Check it out;
It's hard to find anything that isn't broken beyond use. You are close to giving up when you notice something shiny tucked deeply into the nest. You got +7 SC !
While the nest is in pieces, the separate elements seem to be in good shape. There is a chance you can use some of them.
You got +1 Duck Feather, +1 Owl Feather, +1 Puffin Feather!

Nearly invisible to the naked eye, these shiny particles would look pretty if they weren't so painful when blown into your nose and eyes by the wind. It's a minor inconvenience but it's so annoying!

A dead goose lays out in the open, its feathered body ruffled and nearly unmarked. You sniff it curiously, searching for any sign that a predator is nearby. You only smell the stench of death, and there's no bite marks at all. Did it fall from the sky? You notice the neck is twisted at an odd angle, and wonder if that was the cause of its demise.

Take OR Eat
Take;
Clearly this is no one's prey, and if you don't take it, someone else will. It should make a nice meal.
You got +1 Meat Chunks [Medium]!

Found in Desert
The creature you see in front of you looks like a hare and smells like one too, but the antler-like growths on its head are really confusing. They seem to be a source of discomfort and the creature doesn't notice your presence until you are right in front of it.
Chase;
No matter if these are real antlers or a disease, the rest of the body looks like an ordinary hare and that is what counts. You start chasing the creature, taking it by surprise. It didn't even pose a challenge.

You got +1 Hare Carcass!

Encountered in the Prarie
[Didn't copy beginning of encounter]
Eat OR Take
Eat;
The meat is really fresh. If you wait any longer, it won't taste as good.
You got +1 CS ! You got +20% hunger!
Take;
[Copied from User log] Exploring and dragged a dead cow to your den: lost -5% energy on Kitchi (#1844886) (Lead Wolf). Also got +1 Bovine Carcass.

Ignore;
If the dog is here, humans are surely close enough to be a potential threat. You can't risk your own life. It's better to just move away. As you're skirting around the area, you notice a small dead animal.
You got +1 Weasel Carcass!

Without warning, you are in the midst of a stampede of wildlife of all shapes and sizes. They run in a panic, ignoring you as they bolt away from some unknown danger. You wait until they pass, and strain your eyes to see the cause of their fear. Water is rushing over the ground from the coastline and covering everything in several feet of water. Looks like everyone else had the right idea--run!

You lost -3% energy exploring.
Another but with image during earthquake;
A huge mass of snow, rocks, and debris flows down the mountain. It started quietly but is quickly growing to loud rumbling and roaring. You don't have much time until it reaches you!

You lost -2% energy exploring.
Not sure if this one is a normal one you get in the dessert or not. It happened during a heatburst so it coulda been either lmao
The heat saps your energy with each step you take, and your paw pads feel dry and cracked. You stop to rest for a moment, and watch as a tortoise passes you. It's moving faster than you are in this heat!

You lost -2% energy exploring.

Reward +1CS and 10% hunger

A pronghorn bursts from the tall grass, heading right for you! You scramble to get out of the way, and notice with a shock that it's not a pronghorn at all. It looks like one, but the back feet that sail past your head aren't hooves--they're paws! Long ears like a rabbit flick upwards as it runs, and it takes you a moment to realize that it has come to a halt, staring at you with glowing green eyes.
Chase;
What was it waiting for? You leap at it and it flags its tail and darts several paces away before stopping to turn and look at you again. Did it want you to chase it? You decide to humor the creature and begin to chase after it, admiring how easily it traverses the grassy plane. After a while you fall behind, tiring more easily than it does. Phew! What a workout!
You lost -5% energy!
Image Link
A barely noticeable squeak reaches your ear. A small group of shivering mice is trying to warm up in the dry grass and hide behind the rocks. Unfortunately, it is only a temporary solution as the weather doesn't look like it's going to clear up.
Easy snack OR Chase away
Chase away;
Your low growl makes the mice shiver even more but this time in fear. You didn't do anything wrong; you got them up and moving. Besides, you were good enough not to eat them on the spot and they will warm up eventually by running away. When the rodents disappear, you notice something laying in the grass they had been sitting on.

You got +1 CS !

my snow wasset quest rn-

"You see, the surface isn't really my favourite place to be and you are definitely more accustomed to travelling long distances. I need you to check the shore. I've heard that there's a shipwreck nearby and I need some information about it. Let's make a deal. You tell me everything about it and if you find anything useful, you may take it."
Hint: try exploring in the Glacier!

my Letiche quest-

The rat-creature is sitting hunched over, tail curled around its body and head bobbing back and forth. You can hear chewing sounds, and you peer around to see what on earth it's eating. A flash of white disappears into its mouth as it turns around to face you with a startled jerk. Was that a bone?

"You seem reasonable, and I'm sure you hunt more than you can ever hope to eat. You don't mind sharing, do you? Of course you don't. Would you bring me 2 x full use carcasses? I'm famished."

idk if this is relevant or been posted, but some advice for achieving the battle X event opponents: you get an achievement reminding you of which area you discovered all the cryptids there. cryptid hunting there is your best bet ^w^
