Rauko
JEB Davis:
This story may be a bit fragmented until the posts catch up to his current experiences. The early pics were made a couple of years ago.
Rauko was a big, strapping lad who loved to hunt with his father. When Rauko was only 14 his mother sickened and died. Shortly thereafter, he set out with his father on a long journey, traveling all the way from Kaumo territory past the Owl-tribe settlements and into Seal tribe areas.
They grieved for the lost beloved wife/mother until their hearts healed enough to talk more freely about her. Rauko was reassured by how much his father had loved her as he told stories to his boy. One day they had ventured into no-man's-land to hunt and father was up ahead, when Rauko heard the roar of a bear and curses, then shouting of his father for help.
It was too late when he arrived to find his father's life flowing out of him onto the ground.
Rauko was devastated... too sad even to seek out the bear.
JEB Davis:
After sending his father's spirit to the wind in the smoke, Rauko lay on the ground in sadness.
He was not sure what to do now as he began what was to become a life of wandering.
JEB Davis:
Before the fateful day is finished, Rauko daydreams and hears his father's spirit beseeching him to seek the bear that killed him.
Rauko finds the bear's tracks and follows it, only to be severely mauled and left for dead by the huge, wounded beast.
Later, he wakes hungry and parched, and crawls away to find water.
A small lake is close by and he makes a shelter for the night.
He is awoken by noises which sound like a deer or elk in the trees nearby. Half-awake, he sneaks toward the trees with knife in hand, driven by hunger. An elk bursts forth from the trees and runs... he has no chance to catch it.
Blxz:
Wow, never been that close to an alert wild beast in UrW. A magical experience.
On the otherhand, 71% injury - somewhat less magical.
JEB Davis:
(Yes, it was unique to get so close! And in r/l I've often joked about hunting deer with only a knife.)

Beginning to starve, three days later all he has found to eat are grouse eggs.
