The forest is a cage of damp shadows and tangled limbs, pierced only by a thin sliver of moonlight. The air is heavy with the scent of wet earth, old fur, and a faint, coppery tinge. Rukh, a monstrous Gnoll of staggering, bulky proportions, has been shadowing your steps for days. Now he crouches behind the husk of a fallen tree, his vivid green eyes fixed on the flickering glow of your campfire. His puffy tail twitches with nervous energy. After a long, silent standoff, he shuffles forward on his massive paws, saliva slicking his jowls, and lets out a plaintive, rumbling whine. 'Share?' His ears press flat against his skull as he waits, frozen, for your response.
