>>5340630As you begin to ascend a steep slope, the terrified screams of many from the rear of your group confirm your suspicions. You draw your weapon and search for the cause, setting eyes on a pair of formidable bipedal canine creatures that each stand a head taller than the average human male. One has what you believe to be a bloody neck clamped between its jaws, sprinting for concealment behind a nearby tree. The other dashes for a terrified adventurer, hoping to draw fire from its compatriot and claim a victim of its own. Having lied in wait for this very moment, a group of half a dozen rat creatures wielding knives enters your peripheral vision from atop the slope in front of you, set to charge. Your party is now being attacked from both ends, it seems.
Ready or not, the hunt is on.
>[Strength, Attack] I need to cut us a way up to higher ground. Being in a more defensible location will increase our chance of victory significantly.>[Agility, Attack] These canine werebeasts seem much more dangerous than the rodent ones. I'll see if I can fight them back while everybody else moves to a better position.>[Perception] It seems that they are attempting to encircle us. Can I spot a weakness in their tactics that we can exploit?https://pastebin.com/mStwuNKy
