1. Get the bears away from the cabin, something tells me they've come here for whatever food's inside.
> They came for food, you think? Then give them food! Find some raw meat in the kitchen and put it somewhere away from the cabin. Easy enough.
2. ...Oh goddammit. We've got some Golden Eagles straight-up unloading all of their crap everywhere. Shoo them off!
> Ew. Um... first, find some tranquilizer blowdarts (not the tranq guns though, you hate those) and use those to subdue the birds. Then, grab 'em while they're unconscious and just sorta chuck 'em into the forest—hey, not like it'll hurt 'em any, right? Once the birds are gone, clean up the shit they left behind. Thoroughly. THOROUGHLY. Stepping in bird shit is embarrassing as hell and something you'd wish on nobody, not even the dumbass bosses or those murderers.
3. The mountain goats are freaking...licking the walls of the buildings! Shoo them off, I don't think there's anything appealing for them to lick off of!
> You sure there isn't? Look for a salt lick or something similar in storage before doing anything else. If you find one, great! Set it out somewhere away from the buildings. If you don't find a salt lick... make your own! Grab a decently large stone and some kosher salt from the kitchen, absolutely smother the stone in the salt, and then set that out somewhere.
4. Mountain foxes have...oh god what're they doing grouping over the frozen lake! What if the ice breaks and they drown!? Someone get them away from there.
> ...Well, first, tap on the ice with your foot and see if it's too fragile for you to walk on. If it isn't, great! Just run up to the foxes and scare them off the ice yourself before carefully heading back to the shore. If it is and it breaks under your foot... well, try shouting at them and see if that scares them away. If it doesn't, well, they're screwed.
5. Snow leopards!? Oh great, the scent of those damn mountain goats must've been what brought them here. Find a way to get them away from here without getting attacked by them.
> Take the leftover meat from the bear lures and use it to bring the snow leopards over to the mountain goats. ...What? You said the goats are what brought them here! Might as well let nature take its course, aye?
Sherry gets a 2, 8, 4, 3, and 2, totaling around 19 points at first.
The bears distrust Sherry's m e a t y offer and prefer to break in like the scavengers they are. Not so nice is the fact they also steal the meat on their way out.
Sherry snipes them birds with with the darts and brutally tosses them into the trees. Ouch. Those birds aren't going to soar the skies anytime soon. I mean, there's nothing left behind, at least. Not a single piece of evidence, you cruel mujer.
Sherry makes a rather plain-looking salt lick. Snow gets on it, so it gets all wet, but at least some of the goats take notice. The results are at least something.
Cracks. There's cracks everywhere, and her body weight slowly produces more. Without a care, Sherry presses harder, and then shouts, resulting in all the foxes jumping and cracking the ice wide open. Nice going.
The leopards shy away from her new m e a t y offer, and promptly observe. After a while, they decide to take the risk and pounce on Sherry, knocking her down before running at the goats as promised. Screw the running of the bulls, it's the running of the leopards now.
A passive way to lure the bears (+1), a DECIDEDLY NOT NICE and also NOT EASY way of "disposing" of the bird poop (-4), using a salt lick for its very purpose (+2), a rather basic and risky way of warning the foxes (0), and and a lure for the leopards (+1) net Sherry of a total of 19 points, again.
