Leaving the female dog to run until she calmed down and so you focused on the male dog who was moving about as if trying to keep the apple and the squirrel balanced but he appeared to realize that he now had your attention if the happy wag in greeting showed.

Not sure how to approach him as you met a proud feline, a sneaky but skittish female dog and so the brother dog left you unsure.

The male dog seems friendly enough. You could ask questions or compliment him or just try to give him a ear scratch.

Options:

A) Ask him questions

B) Compliment him

C) Scratch his ear

D) Boop his nose

Deciding there is no harm in looking for a big cat so you knelt close to the ground and looked in the light while listening for sounds around you just in case.

There were tracks that were small enough for rabbits and foxes but there was also a sort of mess that had big paws prints on the ground and they were going in several directions after going in a bit of a circle.

Some tracks lead deeper straight into the forest, a second pair of tracks vanished into some bushes that on your left, on the right was a tree in a bit of a distance that some tracks headed off to.

The tacks appeared fresh for now.

What would you like to do?

A) Follow the tracks leading straight deeper in

B) Follow tracks leading into a bush

C) Follow tracks leading to the trees

D) Try calling the big cats out

C. I'm going to be bold and offer an ear scratch

A) Follow the tracks leading straight deeper in

After several attempts of making sense of the tracks as some appeared to back track but you found the ones you were after and continued straight heading straight in. Following the tracks under the light of the lantern you didn't notice that the forest was becoming thicker and and leaves everywhere.

Branches were hanging low, large logs were on the the ground, leaves and sticks were scattered everywhere on the forest floor.

There was also scratches on trees like something had passed here. Just as you walked there was a hiss and a snake slithered into a bush. Another study showed the scratches appeared to be large claw marks.

At least you were heading in the right direction even if you are coming across creatures that you don't want.

Forward or back?

A) March on

B) Turn around and back track

Taking a risk you reached over to the male canine and started scratching a ear that had the male dog sit down and his tail was wagging furiously as he leaned into your hand. You risked scratched a little faster and his eyes closed with his tail now hitting the ground repeatedly with a thudding sound.

The squirrel was holding on and you also caught the apple that would have fallen to the floor.

You removed your hand but he barked at you to keep scratching. Your second squirrel facepalmed and your horses were watching with interest as they had when you were helping the the female dog who was still running around you in circles.

Another bark for you to keep scratching. The male dog was not content yet.

A cycle started:

A) Keep scratching until the brother is content

B) Don't keep scratching

C) Boop the nose

E) Combine some options

I checked and that is correct. I will add you but I will have to do yours later as my family are coming over to visit. Expect a PM.

A. Keep scratching. He likes them and personally giving scratches is comforting

A) Small barn, maybe sice it's small some new friends would think it is cozy!

A) March on

You start scratching the male dog's ear again and he let out a whine of happiness as his tail wagged fast while his eyes closed. He was leaning into your hand as you scratched. It was nice scratching the dog.

At least you didn't have to throw a stick because your arm would hurt and giving the idea to the sibling dogs wouldn't be a great idea.

You could maybe ask to see if your tag alongs would like to join you or wait a while longer to see so that way you can keep searching or just stay and keep scratching?

What would you like to do?

A) Ask your tag alongs to join you

B) Wait a little bit longer and keep exploring

C) Just stay there and keep scratching

Eyeing the claw marks you decided to continue on to try to find a big cat though you weren't sure what kind. Leopard? Tiger? Lion? You keep searching for more hints like claw marks or broken twigs or even paw prints.

The forest was very silent as you walked with no birds making any sounds or any rustle from the bushes and trees. It was just quiet.

Two different sets of paw prints were now seen mixed together as if a fight had broken out.

Some paw prints were heading towards the sound of a stream on your left while the other paw prints lead into the bushes on your right.

Left, right or stay?

A) Go to the left

B) Go to the right

C) Stay still

You walk over to the smaller barn where the doors were easier to open than the large barn. Looking inside you notice some animals like sheep, ponies and cows in stalls. Another pile of hay but that was now to be expected in the barns, some cobwebs in the corners and troughs filled with water.

If there were cats in here then they could be hiding anywhere. From the hay pile to in the stalls.

Where would you like to look?

A) in the hay pile

B) In the stalls

You hand the first form to Squirrel who takes it, adds it to a pile and then proceeds to jump on a shiny red button that opened up the floor underneath you resulting in you falling until you found yourself in a berry bush.

A look around you showed nothing but trees and as you looked through the bush you saw a worn out path, lots of more bushes and in the distance you heard howls, neighs. A look at your bag showed you still had everything thankfully.

Now to decide what you would like to look for first.

Thoughts:

A) horses

B) cats

C) canines

D) Just stay in the bush

E) Walk in a random direction and see what you find
