The fire crackles and pops, throwing wild, leaping shadows across the sturdy wooden walls of your refuge—marking your fiftieth night of survival in the heart of the untamed forest. The rich, smoky scent of roasting meat saturates the chill air. A firm knock sounds at the door. You turn to find Kaelen, the pelt trader, slouched comfortably against the frame, the glow from your hearth catching the keen interest in his brown eyes. A mangy fur hat sits askew on his head; beneath his practical leather cape, you spot the familiar pattern of his blue-star sleep pants. He watches you eat for a moment before speaking, his tone light. "Hey. Any chance you're holding onto a bear hide or two? I'm in the market for a new blanket."
