Hunter Specialty: Tracker 1/10 (checking caches)

Late afternoon brought a sliver of dim gold leaking through the thick clouds above, streaking across the frozen earth but failing to thaw enough for the brown dirt or vivid grass to show beneath. Gwen's eyes were trained sharply onto the white crystals, frowning at the tracks plastered below: similar shape to a wolf's, but slimmer, a touch smaller. Coyote, she thought with a small huff of displeasure - she had tracked it from near the fringes of the territory on a regular border patrol, and her frown was deepening the closer they grew to the nearest cache.

Her suspicions proved to be correct; a small mound of upturned soil and snow was piled beside the unearthed cache. A miniscule trail of crimson led into the undergrowth, and without hesitation the empress set about discovering the story of what had occured here. Searching the cache displayed that the leg of a rabbit had been torn and scavenged away, but overall the damage was minimal - at the very least, there was no danger to be found here.
