You draw upon your advanced Kai skills to mask your body scent as the first of the Vorka come rushing through the trees. Hungrily they descend upon your boat and they make short work of the provisions that they find hidden under its canvas. The few Vorka who arrive too late to share in this unexpected feast vent their anger on the boat itself. You are taken aback by the sheer speed and ferocity of their attack which reduces your sailboat to matchwood in less than a minute.

Silently you watch the Vorka as they return to the bridge and cross once more to the other side. The incident seems to have excited the Eldenoran guards, and you can hear them laughing and cursing wildly. You decide to wait until their excitement has died down a little before you attempt to leave your hiding place. During your wait you must eat a Meal or lose 3 ENDURANCE points (you are unable to use Grand Huntmastery to forage for food in this instance).
