Prowler

You are a specter in the night, a fleeting shadow that slips by its prey, unseen. Each kill is a test of cunning and animal determination, a contest between life and death. You know that one day you will lose. You look forward to it.

What did you last hunt? Roll 1d6:

1	A mock firefly, baiting water carriers with its glowing lure. Take an Alchemical Limb (d8, petty when worn) to replace the one it tore off and an Oil Can (6 uses). The limb is immune to heat and poison. Needs to be oiled daily.
2	An ice nettle, trapping and draining sheep. You lost your commission when the fungus you introduced killed half the flock. Take a Rime Seed (1 use). It freezes any body of water, no matter the size. Don’t eat it.
3	A silver marsh crawler that killed someone close to you. You now carry its Tooth (petty) on a chain around your neck as a warning to others of its kind. The tooth hums softly when something is stalking you.
4	A malicious forest spirit that poisoned a homestead. You saved a Heartseed from the roots of a dying tree. (Plant it to create a new forest.) Also, take Iron Bracers (+1 Armor, bulky).
5	A hollow wolf that had been frightening travelers. You took pity on the half-starved creature and nursed it back to health. Now it is loyal to you unto death. It is also a great tunneler. 5 HP, 11 STR, 13 DEX, 8 WIL, teeth (d6).
6	An azure warbler. The gametes attract a sizeable profit, if properly extracted. You succeeded but left its nest to the wolves. Take a Paring Knife (d6), an extra 20gp, and a pang of regret.

What tool is always in your pack? Roll 1d6:

1	Fermented Spirits	Keeps you warm at the best of times and as an explosive at the worst. 3 Uses.
2	Trail Shaker	A noisy instrument that reveals nearby trails, even when deeply hidden.
3	Drowse Balm	A wax bar. If boiled in water, the steam acts as a soporific agent.
4	Spike and Cord	For traversing difficult terrain or for creating makeshift traps and structures.
5	Iron Rattle	A noisemaker for distracting or scaring your quarry. Sounds convincingly like a snake.
6	Hardening Glue	Makes any flat material (cloth, leather, sand) as hard as stone. Expensive (20gp a bottle, 3 uses).
