Ferdinand keeps his eyes peeled for his special task as he silently joins in hauling the wood. |

OOC: His plan is to look it in the eye from a distance from his full height, looking neither like he is a threat nor prey. Then, if appropriate, to approach to some twenty paces away and take it from there, thinking not of himself and the wolf as friends or potential enemies, but only of the country around, with questions.

While Anexos is deep in some 'strange woo-woo trance' studying his book of magical formulae, Bosco has utilized a tarp to fill with fallen branches and other such kindling that he might drag back to camp; as Hobbit arm loads seem like a considerable waste of time. He is, as usual, armed and cautious in this endeavor.

Ferdinand peers over at Anexos for a moment, confirming the activity that he appears to be engaged in.

His arcane cantata barely audible to those around him, Anexos pushed the mundane activity around him to the furthest region of attentiveness. The chant focused his visualization of that world beyond where men dare tread the ætherial and the esoteric; where chaos is bound by will.
... along the lime horizon where violet ridges frame the orange desert ... shadows danced where clouds should hang and golden sunlight winks between ... the presence revealed itself reluctantly.
A brilliance spilling from a hovel along the path he reluctantly remembered; a miasma trodden by those who would be found and sightless no more ...
The dwelling's door fell aside and his psalm became all but an echo of what was. The radiance consumed him as he pressed the Light into his memory ... securing it there with the formula of release ...

As the day wears on a lot is getting down, wood is collected, and all of the meat and fish are arranged on improvised racks for drying and smoking. Mean while berry's and other natural edibles and natural medicines are being collected and processed. Some of it is being turned in pemmican, because of way that it will keep for months or longer.

Keeping his eyes open on the area where the wolves have appeared before, Ferdinand busies himself with the tasks but shows little understanding of or interest in just what is being put away for future use.

Evening nears, the camp is in order and all of the needed things are going well. Snares set have garnered several smaller game animals and travelling up and down stream has netted more fish. More berries and tubers have been gathered and the food and fresh air are quite bracing.
The camp has settled down for the evening and watches will begin in a while.
OOC: Night will fall soon, say anything you need to say before it begins.

Along about midnight the watch and Ferdinand become aware that there is something out there. About 20 minutes later a glimpse of a wolf is seen on the east side of the camp.
What Do you Do?

Ferdinand takes a strip of meat, approaches to a stone's throw of the wolf, and tosses the meat in the direction of the canine visitor.

Ferdinand gets close enough to toss the meat to the largest.

OOC: Sorry for the delay, I as not around for most of the weekend.
Ferdinand tosses the meat towards the largest wolf and the wolf dodges the meat and avoids it. The wolves move quickly and knock Ferdinand off his feet. They then step back and Ferdinand has the distinct feeling, that they are laughing at him.

Feeling demonstrably foolish (an unfamiliar experience), Ferdinand sees himself, hands, feet, and hindquarters in the dirt, as he imagines the wolves see him, and joins them in their "laughter." |

Ferdinand rises, an expression on his face that has not been seen for some time: wonder at novelty.
