This was Rampage’s first expedition to Auster.  He’d never been out this way before but something he’d heard of had struck Ram’s interest.  Ram regarded a smooth unnatural rock pattern that was nestled against regular rough rock mixed into the dirt.  This seemed an odd terrain, stretches of grass with rocky outcrops that contained old bones, bones that were harder than any he’d experienced.

The wolf was soft brown with darker patches of decent size and for the more observant individuals had quills from the top of his neck, down the shoulder blades, along the spine, and even hidden in his tail.  The brown of his paws did a good job of hiding the dirt they were coated in from digging around the bone to find the edges of it.  Ram figured he’d dig up several to compare and perhaps take some that weren’t overly large home with him.

"Rampage Klein"

Crafting required supplies and supplies often required travel. Nelu finished his chores then called to his companions before heading out of the castle. He wasn't going far, just south a little into the Fossil Ridge where strange and unique bones and rocks could be found. He was hoping to make a necklace or other decoration with Samiri's help. She clung to his back as usual while Aster flew ahead and scouted from the air.

As he traveled deeper into the ridge he spied an earthen-pelted yearling. He could tell the other was a pack wolf but he was unfamiliar with the pack. The stranger seemed to be digging at something and Nelu headed over to investigate. "Good afternoon, are you hunting for fossils too?"
