My main inspiration was AngryTiger's and Chantaey's projects (links down below!) of similar experiments about adding more rules to the gameplay for fun. I followed mix of their rules, making some easier, some harder, adding some personal flavors to the rules. Feel free to use this topic as your own inspiration if wanted, change the rules the way you like, what ever makes you happy! You are also welcome to leave a comment if you like, give suggestions or let me know about your own project! You can find AngryTiger's "Impossible Mode" Project: here! OverviewThis challenge project will affect only one cave of my page. Meaning only wolves in that specific cave will be part of this challenge. This seperate cave will not affect my other caves, wolves or lore in anyway.You can find my cave taking part of this project: here. Guidelines and rules:I may adjust the following rules if feel needed. Any possible edits will be mentioned down below after the rules. GENERAL How to start

RecordsI will collect here the progress of this challenge (as well as I can and remember lol). I might add some lore in just for the fun and flavor for these guys, too.I'll start this challenge on first day of the upcoming spring season! (I don't wanna throw all of them to the deep end right away  ) The starters will be fed and played to keep their pars full until the "official" start. No other actions are taken or allowed. First to join the pack is Void [ lvl 1 - 2y3m - male - aggressive; bossy ] Starting stats: Total 207 [ Str; 41 - Spe; 40 - Agi; 43 - Wis; 42 - Sma; 41 ] He will take role of a chaser. I actually really like him, why it's sad he has such low stats of the bunch. I liked the idea of him taking the so-called alpha male status of this pack, especially with his bossy personality lol, but oh well. I still hope he stays long.  Next we got Swampy [ lvl 1 - 2y9m - female - romantic; dutiful ] Starting stats: Total 224 [ Str; 44 - Spe; 46 - Agi; 45 - Wis; 42 - Sma; 47 ] She will take role of a scout. Not the worst I guess, but because of her romantic personality she was forced to take the pack's scout role, rather than because of her stats. She could have been great at camoflaging in hunts haha   Third to join is Smokie [ lvl 1 - 3y11½m - male - stoic; sneaky ] Starting stats: Total 245 [ Str; 51 - Spe; 48 - Agi; 52 - Wis; 47 - Sma; 47 ] He will take role of a chaser. He is the most promising of the bunch, he could have taken any role to be honest, but because of other member's stats he fell to fill a chaser role. With the highest total stats of all others, he will take the alpha male status of the pack. He is, for now, the only male allowed to make a pair bond and breed.  Fourth wolf is Hayden [ lvl 1 - 2y10½m - female - stoic; dishonest ] Starting stats: Total 226 [ Str; 47 - Spe; 43 - Agi; 43 - Wis; 46 - Sma; 47 ] She will take role of a stalker. Hayden was next. Her best stats where strength and smart, but she was chosen to become the pack's stalker. Let's hope she does a good job.  Next one is Fogster [ lvl 1 - 3y9½m - male - aggressive; bossy ] Starting stats: Total 240 [ Str; 48 - Spe; 47 - Agi; 50 - Wis; 46 - Sma; 49 ] He will take role of a chaser. He has the group's second best stats, so he would be the pack beta, ready to rose up to claim the alpha male status if something happens to Smokie (ominous I know  ). He also shares same role as Smokie (oh no), making him the third and final chaser. Last but not least we have Sap [ lvl 1 - 4y6½m - female - aggressive; selfish ] Starting stats: Total 233 [ Str; 49 - Spe; 46 - Agi; 46 - Wis; 48 - Sma; 44 ] She will take role of a finisher. I was surprised to get an opossum girl to our pack. Anyway, we got really lucky to get such a good personality line for our hunting team! Hopefully this will be a good sign. To utalize her strength, she will be hunt team's finisher. Also, she being the strongest female with total stats in the pack at the moment, Sap will be the alpha female of the pack and only female permittedto breed with the alpha male (who is Smokie). Probably not going to pair and breed them right away, we got to get some hunts under our pelts before we can feed any additional mouths lol. But here we have our starter team! Official starting day for the challenge! Yay! In-Game Home biome: Coniferous Forest (for survival reference) Home biome of this pack: Deciduous Forest (for lore purposes) Season: Spring Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest The pack has two successful critter hunts! However, Fogster stumbles during one of the chase and limbs a little (-5HP). When they return home, hunger starts to settle in. - Smokie being the strongest member claims the pack's alpha title, which means he eats first. He fills his belly. - Fosters has claimed the beta title in the pack and aggressively tells other he eats next. He fills his belly. - Sap reminds everyone that not only is she the alpha female but without her teeth to caught the prey none of them would eat. She fills her belly. - Hayden tells Void that she will go next and share the leftovers with him. She does not keep her word and eats alone. She fills her belly. - Void is furious. He has to wait. - Swampy returns later to join the pack, and has to wait for food, too. From Swampy's first scout she brings back an acorn and an owl feather, and she watches silently as all the others wear them out like a pack of hyenas to restore their mood, leaving nothing behind (rude). With her dutiful personality Swampy heads right back out. Later she returns while others are out on hunting. She plays with a feather in peace, restoring her mood. Her hard work pays up (level up), which raises her status on the pack. During the last small hunt (46% success chance) of the day Sap lets the prey slip away! Alpha Smokie raises his tail and peel his lips back into snarl - he chases Sap away!  - Because of the failed hunt at end of the day, Swampy and Void have go to the bed without full bellies. Sap now gone (sniff)... Scratch that! New wolf is accepted in to the pack and the newcomer to replace Sap as finisher is:  Velvet [ lvl 1 - 2y9½m - female - aggressive; combative ] Starting stats: Total 230 [ Str; 47 - Spe; 45 - Agi; 45 - Wis; 47 - Sma; 46 ] She will take role of a finisher. I am sad to see Sap gone, but Velvet came and took everything Sap had, including her placement in the pack as an alpha female! Wow. I'm also glad that she has aggressive personality to keep the hunt team from fighting.  And not to mention, Smokie did well by getting +2 both in agility and speed! What a first day folks! What a day! Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest Day starts with a critter hunt. During the hunt Hayden and Velvet collide, both suffer small injury (-2HP/-5HP), but the hunt end up successfully! Hayden learning to be more careful to not repeat her mistake (+1 wisdom). - Smokie and Fogster ends up sharing a pheasant hen together while discussing about the next hunt. They fill their bellies. Second critter hunt of the day goes well, too, except Fogster (again) stumbles to his own paws, almost faceplanting (again) (-2HP). Though, everybody feels great after the hunt (level up to everyone, except newcomer Velvet, but she gets +1 strength)! Swampy proving to be great scout, brings back mouthful of feathers during the day, and gets praised (level up). - Everyone restores their mood with funny feathers. Last critter hunt of the day is also success, and nobody gets injured. Hayden learned to identify muskrat pawprints (+1 wisdom). - Void is hungry and angry for not getting his belly full yesterday, so he stomps growling to the foodpile, threaten to bite anyone that come closer, and rags a hare with him to eat it all alone. He fills his belly tonight. - Swampy has had enough and fights with the other two females for right to eat next. She overpowers both of them, raises her rank in the pack, becomes new alpha female and eats victorious muskrat meal alone! She fills her belly. - During the scuffle Hayden makes Velvet back off, but there is nothing left in the foodpile. Both of them goes to sleep without full bellies. Overall, we had a good day. Nobody got chased and nobody got sick, and we even got level ups. Way to go pack! Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest I'm happy to annouce that we made another day without pack-leaving-injuries! The pack keeps working together and had three successful critter hunts and Swampy did great on scouts. Though, the hunt team must start getting better prey soon, or someone have to always get to the next day without full belly. - Smokie and Fogster ate first, They filled their bellies. - Somehow the rest of the pack agreed to share two grouses among themselves, instead one or two eating all up. However, all the ladies and Void fills their bellies only up to 90%. Swampy brought back good multi-use items to play with and the pack has good amount of leftovers already. Swampy felt great (and got a level up). There is some competition for the alpha female status between Swampy and Velvet, but for now Swampy remains the boss lady. Only injuries happened on the first hunt where Void had to make quick move to dodge Smokie and Fogster (who oddly enough didn't injure himself today, I was going to nickname him Mr. Stumble) and suffered a veeery small injury (-1HP), and where Velvet miscalculated her jump on the prey and hurt her muzzle a little (-2HP). Otherwise the pack did really good, Swampy got a level up, and all the hunters got plus on their stats from hunts, especially Hayden who got +2 wisdom and +1 smart. And Velvet did well capturing the grouses, got praises from alpha (got a level up, too). To the next day! Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest This day was a little less eventful. But the pack did good. At the first hunt Hayden found a small prey trail and a critter trail but the pack didn't want to risk it right at the first hunt and chose the critter trail. Mayde they should have, though, because even if the all the hunts were successful, they only found critter after that. And that meant not all bellies was filled that day. But their mood stayed high, thanks to Swampy. And all wolves in the hunting team got a level up! Except Velvet, because she is still less experienced as she joined the pack later to replace Sappy Sap. Velvet however did, with Fogster and Hayden, get a few new stats from the hunts. The only injury happened to Void when he stepped on a stick and got a small splinter injury (-3HP). Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest The day started with Swampy heading out for as scout while the others went for a hunt. This time Hayden found again a small and critter trail, and the hungry pack decited to follow the slightly bigger prey trail to the rocky waterfall in the forest! The risk wasn't worth it. The Rocky Waterfall + small trail combo seems to be cursed, because that's where Sap failed to catch the prey, and now Velvet failed (at 51% success rate) that, too ! Oh no, not a good start. We say bye bye to Velvet as she is chased away. It almost feels like they were being watches, because very soon almost identical wolf as Velvet appeared! Is this Velvet secret sister?? Anyhow, the wolf replacing Velvet as a finisher is:  Smooth [ lvl 1 - 2y7½m - female - friendly; fair ] Starting stats: Total 227 [ Str; 43 - Spe; 47 - Agi; 47 - Wis; 43 - Sma; 47 ] She will take role of a finisher. Yeah, not great as a finisher, especially that we now have a friendly wolves in middle of two aggressive wolves... I don't know how this will end. The next hunt actually goes without any clashing which is nice, alpha Smokie got a surface scratch BUT... on her first hunt... Smooth gets ear mites. The itching is so bad that she complains that she can't go hunt. And we know what that means... Smokie does not take that well and chases Smooth away only after one hunt! No slackers, says Smokie. Whelp. After Smooth's quick visit, the next wolf to try their luck on that cursed finisher position is:  Let's welcome Goldengaze [ lvl 1 - 1y2m - female - aggressive; vulgar ] Starting stats: Total 192 [ Str; 38 - Spe; 40 - Agi; 36 - Wis; 38 - Sma; 40 ] She, too, will take role of a finisher. Is she another relative of Velvet?? Will she share their unlucky fate? She is young, and is the pack's new omega with the lowest total stats (which makes Void happy, because it's not him anymore), but let's give her a chance. And we are back only aggressive/stoic hunter team! Off the hunt team go! Hayden finds her first medium prey trail, but the this time the pack isn't willing to risk is as they have one failed hunt under them already today. So hunting critter it is again. It is successful, at least, but again not all wolves get their bellies full for the night. All but Fogster got more stats during their activities. Let's hope better luck for tomorrow. Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest The pack push on. Swampy is as diligent as ever with her scouts. Golden gives her best and it pays off! The pack starts with an easy critter hunt but on the second hunt they takes a risk to follow a small prey trail (50% success chance) with a brand new finisher. And this times they make it! Golden catches a wild boar! Not an easy prey! The pack celebrates with this feast! - Everyone got their bellies full. - Except poor Swampy who comes back so late that there is none left. - Smokie orders the hunting team for another critter hunt and that carcass is given to Swampy to soothe her. She ease her hunger but doesn't fill her completely. And not only that but it seems there has been some spring fever between Smokie and Swampy.  They being the alpha pair of this pack, they are the only ones allowed to breed. Well what do you know, it seems that Swampy has become pregnant! And right about Summer around the corner. Let see how it goes!Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest Summer is here! Swampy is pregnant but can still do her duties without issues, it just takes her a little longer. She returns with goodies like always. The hunt team catches a grouse without problems, well, Void stumbles and got a small injury (-1HP) but nothing bad. And Golden gets her first level up for doing a good job! The second hunt is small prey hunt (46% success chance) in Overgrown Valley and our lvl3 Hayden lost the trail! What a shock! Until now only finishers had been cursed, but now... Hayden must go. And go she does. The pack needs to replace her and quickly, they have only caught one grouse and the pack is hungy, not to forgot Swampy who now eats for more than one!Smokie looks for a new packmember but the first wolf he spot runs away only a mere sight of him. Damn. He however finds another wolf, and this ones accepts to join.  Here's Arctic! [ lvl 1 - 4y4½m - male - aggressive; vulgar ] Starting stats: Total 266 [ Str; 50 - Spe; 54 - Agi; 55 - Wis; 53 - Sma; 54 ] He will take role of a stalker. And oh boy, this boy. He ain't here to play. First of he makes clear that he won't join just to become some low-member of the pack and he takes the pack's beta status from Fogster (lvl1 vs lvl4)! Smokie needs to keep his eyes on this one, because if Arctic has joined the pack same time with him, it would be Smokie who became a beta. Arctic's total stats exceed Smokie's when he was on level 1. Hoowee, let's see if this will stirr any hierarchy disagreements in the future.. but for now there shouldn't be any clashes while hunting because Arctic's continuously good personality alignment with the rest. This is proved on their next hunt, last one of the day, because they catch a hare. It's better than nothing. - Alpha Smokie and new Beta Arctic eats first. They get their bellies full. - Swampy eats before former beta Fogster, with the help of Smokie giving hard stares to Fogster to let his mate eat before him. Swampy fills her growing belly. - Fogster gets what is left. It leaves him a little hungry. - Lower ranking members Void and Golden doesn't get anything. Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 1/2 in Decidous Forest The day starts with no issues. Swampy goes to scout, but due her growing belly she only makes one scout today, but it's still more than enough. The pack allows Swampy to take it slowly, knowing she needs rest more. The days huntings also starts well. The pack only found critter trails, but it's better than nothing. Though, some members of the pack are worried the lack of food. Specifically Void and Golden are feeling the heat as lowest ranking members. They eat only if there is enough food. This seems to take its toll as on the second hunt Golden got a small injury during the takedown, but she succees. However, her luck doesn't last because on the last hunt of the day her injury keeps her from catcthing the prey. The hungry pack is shocked. They chase Goldengaze away, not wanting to share their small amount of food with her. Golden disappears from their sight. The day's hunts are done, too dark to hunt anymore, but they need a new finisher - again. It's the pack lucky night I guess, because they found submissive wolf to take Golden's role.  He is Dirt [ lvl 1 - 1y9½m - male - romantic; dutiful ] Starting stats: Total 204 [ Str; 40 - Spe; 42 - Agi; 40 - Wis; 39 - Sma; 43 ] He will take role of a finisher. The pack is not impressed but he has to do. Dirt is a young wolf so he quickly accepts the omega status of the pack. He seems to be happy just to be part of a wolfpack again. The only concern is that he doesn't rub Smokie to the wrong way with his romantic personality. Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 1/2 in Decidous Forest It's a quite sad day for the pack today. The day started with a successful critter hunt and they caught a pheasant hen. Beta boy Arctic got a level up and was closing up Smokie for the alpha status. Maybe it got him too cocky because on the second hunt Arctic lost the trail! I'm honestly sad to see Arctic go, he had so much potential. The whole pack come to Smokie's aid to chase Arctic away. Now they need a new stalker. They're getting hungrier and hungrier by the day, and they need to find good trails and chasing a stalker after stalker away is not the best way to do so. Next stalker is Trunk [ lvl 1 - 4y4m - female - stoic; quiet ] Starting stats: Total 261 [ Str; 50 - Spe; 55 - Agi; 50 - Wis; 55 - Sma; 51 ] He will take role of a stalker. Trunk doesn't stay long, she fails her first hunt, which is very damaging for the back... Angry hangry pack chases useless Trunk away. They're devastated. They're only prey for today is single pheasant. Smokie makes the sacrifice over the pack and gives the whole bird to Swampy who is due very soon. - Swampy gets to fill her belly, all the other left hungry Swampy managed to scout, but it's starting to be hard to her. Tho, before her next scout (tomorrow) she will give birth to her puppies! Let's see how it goes without a nest.  |

Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 0/2 in Decidous Forest The pack's dowfall continues... Swampy gives birth to four puppies total, but two of them were born dead. Swampy gives her all to the remaning two female puppies. She doesn't go to scout today in order to take care of her puppies. She is still worried that her pups won't make it, and is fearful to name them. She fears to get too attached to them when their future is still so flimsy. Smokie tries to ensure her that they will make it. After Trunk's fail yesterday, the pack needed a new stalker. And they found one the replace her:  His name is Haze [ lvl 1 - 4y4m - male - friendly; scatterbrained ] Starting stats: Total 264 [ Str; 54 - Spe; 54 - Agi; 52 - Wis; 51 - Sma; 53 ] He will take role of a stalker. Not the worst with stats, and he takes the beta status, but his friendly scatterbrained personality is worrysome. However they have no choise. The pack heads out for a hunt, and Haze is only able to find critter trails. Surprisingly the pack can work together and they have two successful hare hunts. But the pack is still devastated. They grow hungier by the day, so when Haze founds a medium trail... they took the chance (35%) even tho they know the risk. They need this prey. Badly. Things goes from bad to worse after the team gots into argument in middle of the hunt and the prey is lost! Haze is clashing with Void and Fogster, they are all barking each other, and Smokie gets angry with Dirt after he collades with te finisher and suffer a small injury because of that (-5HP). The hunt team return empty mouthed. It is clear that someone will be chased. The candidates are Haze or Dirt. Void and Fogster vote Haze, but Smokie is more angry at Dirt and in the end it is Dirt who leaves. The pack manages to find wolf to replace Dirt. I don't have much to say but with those stats and that personality he deserves the omega status. I don't have high hopes for him...  Silt [ lvl 1 - 1y6½m - male - friendly; lazy] Starting stats: Total 201 [ Str; 39 - Spe; 41 - Agi; 39 - Wis; 41 - Sma; 41 ] He will take role of a finisher. The pack is hungry. Two hares is not enough. The pack let's Swampy to eat to ensure her producing enough milk for the two pups. Rest of the hare is shared with the pack and it's not enough. Void is barely making it tomorrow. He is on edge of starvation. Poor soul. Better luck tomorrow... I must say tho, alpha Smokie has done a helluva job of keeping the chasers from being chased... Smokie, Fogster and Void (and Swampy of course) are the only ones that haven't been even close to being chased. It really feels like even if Fogster or Void would be lacking, Smokie is keeping the chasers status high. Good boy Smokie, good boy. Truly, our stalkers an finisher have been cursed, Haze is our fourth stalker, and Silt is our sixth finisher already! What's going on, guys?? Please, guys... Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 1/2 in Decidous Forest First puppy news. Swampy's and Smokie's both puppies survived to the another day. Swampy is still fearful for them, but bonds with them a little more. She won't name them yet, tho. Smokie thinks it's weird. Swampy trust the pack just enough to look after pack while she goes for a quick scout to do her duties. She returns with feathers and takes her place right around her puppies again. The everlasting hunger hunts the pack. Haze manages to find small prey trail (50%) and the pack follows it. And finally they make it, they catch a turkey hen. The joy is short, because it's still not enough to feed whole pack. They catch pheasant after that, and when Haze found another small trail, they go after it. But the damned pack can't keep from arguing. Haze & Silt vs Fogster & Void combos don't get along. They loose the very needed prey and someone has to go. Smokie knowing Fosgter and Void the longest, let them stay. Between Haze and Silt, somehow Haze get another day (not that I think he will stay much longer) and Silt is chased. Right before the night a new recruit to replace Silt arrives.  He is Ray [ lvl 1 - 4y7½m - male - stoic; pessimistic ] Starting stats: Total 271 [ Str; 54 - Spe; 52 - Agi; 56 - Wis; 54 - Sma; 55 ] He will take role of a finisher. A bit older wolf, which is good (he's oldest wolf of the pack atm). More experience (aka better stats) behind him. And he is stoic (not friedly or romantic!), yay! He has great potential to become a beta (he actually shares total stat with lvl2 Haze who is current beta [somehow...]), maybe even an alpha! Only time will tell.  Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 1/2 in Decidous Forest Puppynews! Both of Swampy's puppies stayed alive. However, one of the pup's left for an adventure when her mother when for a scout, got into trouble with angry ants and suffered small injury (-3HP), luckily she got back home alive! Swampy scold her pup for being so thoughtless. With worried motherly anger Swampy finally decided to name her puppies: the adventuring pup got name Boldy , and the clever one got name Sharpy! On the hunting... I jinxed it. While the hunts went well enough without disagreements during hunt, but on the last hunt of the day the chasers failed... for the first time. Like two days after I mentioned how well they have performed. Jinxed, damn. Because of that I had to say good by to Void.  He had the lowest stats, and sadly he was so hungry he might have left the pack after the rollover anyway. :/ Bye bye Void, I will remember you!To replace Void we got  Chip [ lvl 1 - 1y9½m - female - stoic; anxious ] Starting stats: Total 208 [ Str; 40 - Spe; 40 - Agi; 40 - Wis; 44 - Sma; 44 ] She will take role of a chaser. She's pretty and good stoic personality for the team. Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest First day of Autumn! And both puppies survived at 68% survival chance. Swampy felt okay-ish to make two scouts today, and fortunately it seems her puppies understood to stay in the den. No injuries occured to pups or mother. (Swampy got a level to lvl6, tho!) First hunt of the day (critter) goes well, the second hunt (small) is also succesful even tho Haze and Fogster get a bit too snappy with their teeth to each other and both suffer small injuries (-4HP/-3HP). Smokie, Fogster, Haze and Ray got level ups, making Smokie and Fogster reaching the level 5 and get one free failed hunt pass (Void was so close to get to the 5th level!). But then the third hunt (critter)... fails because chasers failed again! And because Smokie and Fogster are both level 5, it means Chip leaves. Well, she didn't last long... bye Chip. Chip's replacement is  Muddy [ lvl 1 - 4y8½m - male - friendly; lazy ] Starting stats: Total 265 [ Str; 52 - Spe; 53 - Agi; 54 - Wis; 52 - Sma; 54 ] He will take role of a chaser. Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest Boldy and Sharpy lives to see another day! They are at 75% survival now. Swampy is more relaxed now to go for her daily scouts. My dumass forgot to chase Chip yesterday, and I accidently sent her with the hunting party... well she was chased after the hunt, which by the way failed anyway, because Haze and Fogster can't get along. So now I must chase both Chip and Fogster or Haze. And this time it's Fogster, because of his lower stats and now with friendly Muddy added to pack he is the only one clashing with Haze and Muddy. Sorry buddy. You did you best. Bye Fogster! Our new chaser after Fogster is  Ashden [ lvl 1 - 4y1m - male - aggressive; sarcastic ] Starting stats: Total 262 [ Str; 51 - Spe; 54 - Agi; 52 - Wis; 51 - Sma; 54 ] He will take role of a chaser. What can I say.  We chase and aggressive wolf that causes troubles, only to get an aggressive wolf that will cause trouble..  And well, it took only took hunt and a half before Ashden started to cause trouble. Making the daily food score to only one grouse carcass. Damn guys, this no gud. So hunt team got to a disagreement and because of that Ashden got the boot! Bye Ashden, can't say I'll miss you! We got to find replacement for Ashden and we found:  Sandy [ lvl 1 - 4y9½m - female - friendly; optimistic] Starting stats: Total 272 [ Str; 53 - Spe; 55 - Agi; 56 - Wis; 53 - Sma; 55 ] She will take role of a chaser. Not a total youngster which is often better. And luckily we got another friendly wolf, after we have two already and the two other hunters being stoic wulfies we shouldn't fail any hunts for now because of disagreements, yay! Still, one grouse... let tomorrow be preyful(er). Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest Puppies lives another day! And Swampy is trusting enough to keep going to scout, but this time she come back with a small injury (-2HP)! She reasures her worried puppies that she is okay. Now that all the troublemakers are away from the hunting team, the team does well! All the three hunts are successes! AND on the final hunt, Haze only finds a single medium prey trail (36%) and they actually manage to catch a doe deer, woo! Almost everyone get their bellies filled, only Muddy leaves a little hungry! Also during the day Ray and Muddy gets a level up. Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest I was getting very worried about the pack as the Autumn goes on, but they really have surprised me now! Another good day! No wolf (adult or puppy) died or got injured! All hunts come back successful again, two small and one critter hunts, and finally all the wolves get their bellies filled full (both mood and hungy)!! Aahh I'm so happy  They even have one mouthful of a grouse leftover (to rot to the bone)! Haze and Sandy gets a level ups too~Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest Puppies survived yet again, nice. They are now at 96% survival rate, if they only survive to tomorrow...! Swampy comes back from scout uninjured and full of amusement. On the hunt front... Haze looses the trail on critter trail with 90% success rate. I'm quite worried now, because Haze was getting better and better stalker means better prey trails. And he was so close to the level 5, too  Well, it was bye bye time to Haze. Next wolf to follow him is: Haywire [ lvl 1 - 2y2m - female - aggressive; sarcastic ] Starting stats: Total 205 [ Str; 40 - Spe; 40 - Agi; 44 - Wis; 40 - Sma; 41 ] She will take role of a stalker. ...not that of a great replacement. An aggressive wolf among two friendly ones again. Next hunt really, really scared me because 1) we now have chance of clashing in hunt and 2) it was small trail on Rocky Waterfall because that combo has been cursed. But somehow, somehow, they make it successful and catch a beaver! Muddy get a level up, too. The hunt team even success on their last hunt! This is another day the whole pack gets their hunger and mood bar fully! Go pack, go!Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest Smokie's and Swampy's puppies are now on 100% survival as long as they get enough food and amusement! Swampy has no problems on her scouts. It's surprising that the hunting team had a good day, three succesful critter hunts. Sandy and Ray got level ups (lvl3 and lvl4), too! Today they again eat well, everyone except Muddy fills their bellies full. Not bad, not bad! Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest First day of winter guys... Nothing much to report on puppies or scouts, everything is good with them! Full mood bars~ But hunting... went well too whaa?? Two succesful critter hunts (75%) and one succesful small hunt (49%) gives enough food for all the packmembers to get full hunger bars! Good start for the winter! (I'm probably jinxing it but Haywire has been surprisingly good )Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest The pack's good luck continues! No injuries on scouts, hunts or puppies! The hunting team aren't lacking on the job either! Same prey trails than yesterday, all successful, and everybody gets eat to fill their bellies fully! Muddy and Haywire got level ups (lvl4 & lvl3) Muddy, Sandy and Smokie also got nice amount of additional stats. To the next day. Hunts: 2/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest We have reached mid-Winter. There was no issues on with Swampy, Boldy or Sharpy. They're doing fine. Or like okay-ish, at least, because... ...The hunt team didn't do that well today. First a critter hunt, which fortunately was a success and the pack got a hare, but Ray our finisher also got a small injury during the hunt. It seemed to bother him more that he led on because next was medium hunt (43%) in Ancient Woodland and he failed to catch the prey and got another small injury. I was really liking Ray and hoped him to stay longer but the rules are rules and he had to leave. To add salt on the wounds, the pack didn't find any replacements for him and they missed their third hunt completely. Obviously one hare wasn't enough to feed them all, but they tried to share it but almost everyone left a little hungry today. Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest The winter is hitting hard. Boldy and Sharpy became adolescents today, though. And Swampy is scounting through snow and hail. The pack managed to find new wolf to join the hunt team:  Sunchild [ lvl 1 - 1y11½m - male - aggressive; bossy ] Starting stats: Total 209 [ Str; 45 - Spe; 43 - Agi; 43 - Wis; 39 - Sma; 39 ] He will take role of a finisher. Aggressive personality, not a good adding. And it really wasn't because their first hunt ended in disagreement and no prey was caught. Sunchild got the boot as fast as he appreared. Bye, Sun! To replace unuseful Sun the pack got:  Greynie [ lvl 1 - 3y5m - female - friendly; helpful ] Starting stats: Total 241 [ Str; 49 - Spe; 49 - Agi; 46 - Wis; 49 - Sma; 49 ] She will take role of a finisher. Better match for the team, and not half-bad. On their first hunt they attempt to catch medium prey (43%) and succeed! They caught a whitetail, which is very, very needed! But in the end of day they still fail a simple critter hunt (75%), because Greynie who amazingly caught a whitetail couldn't get her teeth on any small creatures... sad. Thank you for the whitetail but bye Greynie! The medium prey definitely helped, but it's still not enough. Only couple of members got their bellies filled. Hunts: 2/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest It's a harsh winter guys.. to replace Greynie we got  Warpaint [ lvl 1 - 4y7½m - female - stoic; pessimistic ] Starting stats: Total 262 [ Str; 52 - Spe; 52 - Agi; 53 - Wis; 54 - Sma; 51 ] She will take role of a finisher. Pretty okay-ish wolf, but their first hunt didn't end well either. Not because of the newcomer, but because of chasers! A Bit unexpected, but something happened between chasers because Sandy suffered a small injury, but in the end it was Muddy who had to leave because Smokie, the alpha didn't surrender and was ready to fight for his place, neither did Sandy surrender who has grow to become new beta after Haze and Swampy (who was briefly both a pack's beta and alpha female for a short moment)! It really seems that Sandy has became to threat Swampy's status as an alpha female, too, and Smokie has noticed this...   After Muddy we got Blu [ lvl 1 - 2y6m - female - stoic; aloof ] Starting stats: Total 222 [ Str; 43 - Spe; 44 - Agi; 45 - Wis; 44 - Sma; 46 ] She will take role of a chaser. After Muddy left we now have very, very female powered pack Poor (or lucky?) Smokie around all these ladies. Hopefully they all work well together. Except Warpaint looses the prey on the last second... Two failed critter hunts behind and they can't even find a replacement for Warpaint, so they again misses the day's last hunt. This day left them only misfortune and no food. Everybody have to just keep going on tomorrow and hope for the best or they'll starve...Hunts: 3/3 in Decidusous Forest Scouts: 2/2 in Decidous Forest Last day of the Winter - there is hope! Swampy and pups are doing okay... Yesterday the pack didn't find a replacement to take Warpaint's finisher role but today they found:  Sandler [ lvl 1 - 1y3½m - male - aggressive; malicious ] Starting stats: Total 196 [ Str; 39 - Spe; 40 - Agi; 40 - Wis; 40 - Sma; 37 ] He will take role of a finisher. I can see potential clashing here, but we'll see. Just please catch something. Apparently though that was too much to ask as Sandler also fails his very first hunt... not even due to disagreement or anything, he just let the prey slip away. Boot! Will this pack starve on the verge of Spring? Their only hope now is the new-new recruit:  Barken [ lvl 1 - 4y2½m - male - stoic; quiet ] Starting stats: Total 265 [ Str; 53 - Spe; 53 - Agi; 54 - Wis; 50 - Sma; 55 ] He will take role of a finisher. Let's hope he can help the pack survive... And he actually does! Finally the pack catches something! It's just a muskrat but at this point the pack needs every single piece of meat they can get their teeth in. And Barken even helps them to get another critter, a pheasant hen! It's not much but at least no one is leaving or starving...  Let's hope the spring will help the pack back on their feet and fills their bellies again.  |
