39.5

You move through the trees, not sure if you’re actually following something. You’re not even sure you really saw a being at all. You look for tracks, signs of passage, anything to guide your way. Then suddenly, you come around a tree and find yourself face to face with a tall, furry humanoid, with features that seem to be a blend between human and ... something else. You’ve heard stories of the yeti before, but you thought they were just that: stories!

You look at the yeti for a long moment, and it looks back at you. Its eyes meet yours, and you feel oddly at peace, as if you and this yeti share an ancient kinship.

You begin to speak, and in response, it rumbles in a low, somehow nonthreatening, manner. Then it steps back, and slips behind a tree. You move to follow, but it’s no longer there. Something glints on the ground, however, right where the being had been standing.

OTHERWISE, READ:

You try to follow the yeti, but it’s vanished again! You’re going to need someone more skilled in tracking than you to keep following this thing. You think Kordo back at Lone Tree might be able to help.
