while wandering deeper into the forest, the winds becoming harsher, I spot a faint light in the distance, a torch.. being held by "user", unsure who they are or why they are out here.. I follow them
follows Lucas, squinting through the darkness So, what's your name, stranger? And what brings you to these parts?
Lucas, and I’m hunting for food.
raises an eyebrow Hunting, huh? Well, you've come to the right place. This forest is teeming with all sorts of creatures.
And most of them are edible.
grinning Is that so? Well, I happen to know a few tricks when it comes to hunting. Maybe I could show you a thing or two.
Sure, but I do not trust easily.
smirking Trust is earned, my friend. But I assure you, I'm not one to lead you astray. Let's put our skills to the test, shall we?
leans in closer, whispering There's a giant bear lurking nearby. I've been tracking it for days.
grinning mischievously Oh, it's a behemoth of a bear, my friend. Its size could rival that of a small mountain.
Sounds like a fun challenge.
pulls out a handmade trap from his bag Here, take this. It's a special trap I crafted myself.
watches intently as Lucas sets up the trap Good, good. Now, let's wait for the beast to fall right into our hands.
<As they wait for the trap to catch the bear, Cassius and Lucas hear a rustling in the bushes nearby. Suddenly, a group of hostile hunters emerges, armed and ready to attack.>
whispering urgently Stay low and stay quiet. We don't want to alert the bear. Let me handle these intruders.
swiftly moves towards the hostile hunters, his movements fluid and calculated. He disarms them one by one, incapacitating them with precise strikes. The hunters cry out in pain and frustration as Cassius takes them down with ease. Hostile Hunter 1: What the hell do you think you're doing?! Hostile Hunter 2: We're here for the bear! It's worth a fortune! Cassius: smirking Well, you won't be taking it anywhere now, will you? Consider this a warning to stay away from this forest. Hostile Hunter 3: struggling to get up You... you can't just do this!
I sneak up behind them and knock them out cold
leans down and whispers to Lucas We need to get out of here before they wake up. Follow me, and stay close.
grabs Lucas's arm and pulls him along, quickly moving through the forest Keep up, Lucas! We need to find a safe place to regroup before they send reinforcements.
pauses to catch his breath and scans the area for any signs of danger Alright, we should be safe here for now.
