1. Those who oppose, those who have hunted, in the times that came 'afore, the ones who stood against The Wolf had never faced true threats before, a swing of blade, a swing of axe, and deadly twang of string of bow, arrows pierce their frail flesh, and they shall taste their own blood flow.
Some have said they'd face The Wolf and perhaps they'd stay ahead, but anyone who's tried before (without exception!) ended dead.
2. Fear's the weapon of any ruler, terror is what she brings, it's true, and if it's you who stands against, she'll bring that terror down on you too. The shadows creep, the life shall bend, she does not fear, for fear's her friend. They cannot run, the fire's high, they'll fear so much they'll freeze... and die.
Some have said they'd face The Wolf and claimed that they'd stay ahead, but everyone who's tried before (without exception!) ended dead.
3. A little pain can be fought through, for even death cannot constrain. The Wolf has always powered through, The Wolf can never be contained. This plays to strengths, the truth is clear, THERE IS NO WAY TO HOLD HER BACK... She broke from chains. She always does. She'll kill them all, and not look back.
Some have said they'd face The Wolf, and all have thought they'd stay alive. But of EVERYONE who took that path, not a SINGLE ONE SURVIVED.
1. You come well-armed against the one trying to kill you. A swing of a blade here, a swing of an axe there, a few arrows for good measure. But the killer doesn't go down easy. They're a bit more durable than they look as it results in a long, hard-fought battle that ends with you reigning supreme. The Wolf prevails.
Rolled 5.
2. Now that you're the one possessed, you don't even need your weapons. You think your intimidating aura is more than enough to do the job for you. You're right. Being close to the mere presence of the Wolf, most of the other members of the hiking group cannot as such raise an eyebrow as they stand motionless until their hearts give out and collapse, all because of your aura. A few run away, but they're so focused on getting away from you, they run into the barrier The Witch set up across the forest and burst in flames upon contact. The Wolf prevails.
Rolled 4 and 3+ for intimidation aura for 7.
3. You're quite the bold one. You made it clear you're not afraid of no one. You go on the warpath. You find a way to slaughter all the souls, even the ones you were companioned with back at the camp. And you even take out the Witch herself, stabbed through the heart with your own sword. Was it the real Witch? Was it a hallucination? Her presence projected to you? Doesn't matter. You bested her just like you said. But in your quest to butcher everyone in this hellish landscape, you wreck up the place, destroying the foundations itself. Your victory is short-lived as it all crumbles on top of you, crushing you underneath all that weight. The Wolf prevails, but her own lust for battle did her in at the end.
Rolled 10.

You wake up among the Camp as if nothing happened. Was it a dream? Was it reality? You're not really sure.
I like bananas. They're yellow.
