Call Out to the Shadows

"Star? Where are you?"

Calling out didn’t work so well– Star isn’t the only creature in The Deadwoods! Your Ballator’s cry has startled a monster out of hiding, ready to attack! Or–

If your Ballator is low enough to the scrubby undergrowth, they might have noticed a strange looking plant that seems to draw them in.

Either way, calling out for Star didn’t help at all. Your Ballator probably should have kept walking… hopefully they can after this!

This is a Shadow Prompt. For this prompt, please depict your Ballator battling one of the creatures (flora or fauna) found within The Deadwoods! To continue onward, your Ballator needs to first test their courage.

There is a 4 stat minimum required for this prompt.

For making it into The Deadwoods, your Ballator finds… A Normal Stick! Neat! I sure hope they get some hunting drops to match! Make sure to roll your hunt for creature drops– sticks can be claimed at The Denarii Hub (linked above).
