Otatso Wetlands barghest

stigmata fled from bearclaw valley in an attempt to quell his needling ambition. he had stolen deep into the wetlands before even remembering he had other needs of the bodily variety, and he stopped to refill his tank. on the hunter's front he was stricken unlucky -- giving himself five tries before he gave up pursuing a nocturnal meal. fortunately, he could afford to miss a meal or three before feeling any real pressure to perform. he drank from an ugly pond and turned to make his way back home.

it wouldn't be much longer before dawnlight curled around the horizon, so when he reemerged on the bare edge of otatso, he paused to admire the clear open sky and what was left to see of the constellations.
