Slowly the Vorka advances towards you with its nostrils flared wide as it struggles to detect your faint, enticing scent. When it comes to within an arm’s length, you leap up from your hiding place and draw your Kai Weapon with one swift and fluid motion. You strike fast and hard, wounding the Vorka in the throat to prevent it from shrieking out in alarm. The wound is deep, yet the creature is remarkably resilient. It quickly recovers from the shock of your attack and it leaps at you with its clawed hands outstretched. You must fight the creature.
