Notes from author
"Let's teach you the clan basic now, as there is no time to chat in the midst of fighting. Except there's little in the form of rules, you hear? Fight and hunt as you like. Whoever's fastest gets the prey. That's the way we do it." - Shiva of the East
Support your fellow hunters by any means. Utilize range, poison, and bleed as necessary in order to take down your targets.
