Quote:  This enemy can be fought solo! You're attacked by a group of three small animals -- your choice what sort, but they should be native to the Louisiana area. Their eyes are crazed, and their action are erratic, implying that there's no sense behind their actions. These are wild beasts, and they attack together. Hit Points: 10 each, for a total of 30, but one dies for each 10 HP damage you do to them. Damage: Each does 2 each time you attack, for a total of 6 to start. This number goes down as you kill them. If you successfully kill all three animals and reach 500 words, each party involved in the battle gets 10XP and rolls 1d100 to collect loot according to the following: 1-40: You gain nothing but the victory of having beaten this opponent. 41-90: Moly Flower: a small white flower with a dark root. You're not quite sure what it's for, but decide to keep it. 91-100: Rabid Blood: these creatures have been infected with something that makes their blood potent. It can be vialed and used once to deal an extra 3 damage [after modifiers] on your next successful attack, after which it is consumed and leaves your inventory forever.

A simple attempt at stepping out to find her friends had turned into an excursion through the woods. Rose slid on fallen leaves and boughs, wetland and other such mulch as she moved, unfettered. She'd seen those she knew turn into animals, it was a little hard for her to focus on things like the weather or the state of the land --
Which is how she nearly tripped over a nest of raccoons. The songstress was completely caught unawares, gasping sharply as three sets of three very angry claws set after her.

They were fast, faster than she could keep up with. By the time Rose whipped around, they were under her feet, tripping her up again, making her stumble and nearly plant face first into the mulch she'd been fairly ignoring. She was flustered at being caught so off guard and acutely feeling the absence of the two that would keep her grounded.
She tried to fire off an arrow, but she could scarcely get the bow in her hands before she was being set upon again.

One of the raccoons separated from the group -- three, she could make out now -- and lunged at her. Rose finally got her bow in hand, aiming and shooting the small beast true, knocking it backwards as it attacked. It didn't even phase the other two nor slow their assault.

It was hard to fight off the two to aim for the first that was injured. Rose had no way of knowing if they were shifted Chosen or just angry critters in general, but they were relentless! Another arrow was knocked into place and fired off, practically pinning the raccoon in place. It was a shame she didn't have a multi-shot capability, trying to throw off the two that clawed, bit and hissed at her, angry denizens caught in a bad place and time.

The next shot made one of the raccoons stop moving entirely, leaving her with two to contend with, two that were still doing substantial damage to her. Rose could feel herself being worn down, from the ragged breath in her throat to the tired ache in her joints. It had been mere moments but it was like fighting a war against very angry, furry enemies.

One of the raccoons was kicked away, the other shot through the shoulder. Nothing seemed to stop or slow them down - hell, even the birds had fumbled and fallen! These were just mean.

With the way the vermin jumped and hissed, leaping and bounding, Rose was having a hard time getting a good aim in. She always seemed to skim or hit them in superficial ways, but that, she supposed, was the wisdom in fighting with more than just herself.
Another arrow was loosed after she was injured with a scratch to her cheek, lodging it in a furry flank.

Finally the second fell to her arrow, but not without taking most of the fight out of her. Struggling, Rose rounded on the last one, sharp blue eyes meeting the glassy blacks that seemed to hold nothing in them, the muzzle of the raccoon held in a snarl.

A moment of regret passed her, glancing at the two bodies riddled with arrows. What if they'd been a family? Like her own two?
Her shot entirely missed, embedding in a tree.
If she didn't pay more attention, she was going to end up the one found dead...

Another shot fired, another shoulder hit. The raccoon seemed intent on fighting to the bitter end, marking it as different from the Chosen. Rose still felt guilty, but it had to be done -- three of them had damn near ended her. For all she'd faced, there was a certain weight of mortality now -- now, with raccoons, instead of poison flinging birds...

It leaped at her, and Rose knew there was no more that she could do -- it was her, or it. Worn but steady, she let loose her arrow, watching as it hit square in the creature's chest, hurling it backwards to its dead brethren.
It was done.

Rose wasn't heartless. She took the time to bury the raccoons, together, marking it with a crude engraving of a harp, so that any that found them might know a Chosen had been through that way. Just in case another family of raccoons felled her.
Looking over the Moly Flower she'd found in their fur, she tucked it with the other, and hoped that whatever fevered their minds had gone, that they found some peace then.
