You would have thought that he'd be as far away from the north as possible by now. To be honest, now that it was getting colder, he couldn't quite bring himself to leave it. Originally he'd decided he wanted to explore everything, but he soon realized that the north had plenty of places to explore that he hadn't yet seen. There was only one territory that was in the north that he couldn't. It was where pack had laid claim to a land on a beach and he honestly didn't feel like he was missing too much. There was too many other sights to see. The north was already becoming chilly rapidly. Snow was falling in places and a good mood overcame him. His thick coat was built for more icy weather and he didn't feel like going back down to a more southern region where it'd be warmer. Especially not when he still had so many sights to discover here. It was a bit of a downer without anyone to keep him company, but he tried not to admit that to himself too often. Instead he delved into a cave today. It was noon and he'd recently come across the opening. It smelled like most caves did - damp and it was dark. His eyes adjusted eventually as he picked his way through it. He wasn't sure what he was going to find, but he was just glad it wasn't like the mines back in Ivalice. Those had gotten boring super fast. Occasionally he came across drop offs, steep declines, and other tricky parts that he could barely navigate. He hugged close to a wall and was almost certain he was going to be too large to walk across the narrow walkway. Eventually he made it and the path narrowed before forking off in two directions. Which way to go? Walk, "Talk" Think

Lost. His dumb ass had gotten himself lost because he just had to go after that stupid rabbit. Could he be blamed though? Probably. But with prey being so scarce around here, he felt like he had no choice but to try and find as much prey as he could. No matter how scrappy and bony they were. This rabbit wasn't any better than the other prey he had come across, but beggars couldn't be choosers now could they? Green eyes faintly glowed in the darkness as he tried to nose his way around. He walked slowly, carefully so he wouldn't tumble somewhere into the pits of hell. He had lost the rabbit trail, the pressing darkness and damp scents of the cave setting him a little on edge. How the hell had he even managed to go this far? He guessed that he was so focused on trying to grab that rabbit that he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings, and now he regretted it. Of all the few times he was actually focusing on something, he got himself into an unwanted predicament. Oh well...he supposed he ought to try and find a way out... "Speech"

Trick

Kharnage gets a trick!

As he continues on, it quickly becomes apparent that Kharnage chose the wrong path to take. As he takes a step forward, the floor of the cave drops sharply - and sends him sprawling down the incline! Who knows what awaits him at the bottom? Kharnage loses 16 gems!

After a moment's hesitation Kharnage decided to take the left path. He'd barely taken a step into the fathomless darkness when his paw met air. With a yelp he fell off the drop off that he hadn't seen. He landed on an incline with a painful thud that dug sharply into his rub cage before he rolled down the steep slope for some feet before finally coming to a very painful halt as his other side slammed into a rock. Wheezing, out of breath, and very much in pain he lay there for a few minutes. His head was still swirling from the head over heels tumble and his ribs ached painfully. Nothing felt broken but it sure as hell was painful to breathe. Rather than testing his luck by trying to get up (falling didn't seem like a great thing to do again) he rested against the rock with his head against the cool stone. "Stupid fucking cave." He grumbled out loud. What had he been thinking coming into a dark cave, by himself, thinking he could explore it. Now he had bruised ribs to show for it and he doubted he'd be getting out of it any time soon. What rotten luck! Walk, "Talk" Think
