###  Vallhund Recruitment.

This event occurs on a preset day (when?).

*(...! I heard you, sneaky little bastard... You're hiding over there, in the bushes. Shh... Clam down Kari... Don't let the gurgling sounds in your belly distract you... You'll catch it. One... More... Step... Aaaaannnnd...)* DINNER TIIIIIIIME!!!

<woof!>

What the-...?

<pant> <pant> <pant>

A... Dog?! What the Hel are you doing here, stupid? You'll get yourself killed.

<Whines>

Hrumpf...I guess I'll have to go back to camp empty handed now... Shoo!

<Whines>

No! Don't follow me, stupid mutt! Go to your master! ... I said no! Urgh...

 *(A grumpy kari headed back to camp, soon followed by the little dog.)*

...! What have you brought us here?

He won't stop following me! He doesn't listen for a bit, this stupid deaf dog!

Oooh, AT LAST you're bringing a lover home with you! I didn't expect him to be this... hairy... but still!

The poor boy... Look how tired and hungry he seems to be... He must have remained all alone for days.

We could let him stay with us?

<Woof!>

He seems to enjoy the idea! If Kari promises to care for him, I don't mind.  *(And if it could teach her a bit of compassion and a sense of responsibilities...)*

What do you say, Kari?

...

* **No way.**

???

* **Why not.**

Are you sure? It's a lot of responsibilities you know... You'll have to take care of him everyday, even when you're tired or when it's raining... And you'll have to feed him... Will you share a bit of your meals with him, even if you're starving?

Err...

* **All things considered...**

???

* **I'll do it.**

I know, I KNOW! I'll take care fo him, urgh... But he better make himself useful. He'll have to earn his meal like everyone else! Hmm.. I may train him to attack our enemies... Like Garmr the dog that slayed Tyr during Ragnarök!

<pant> <pant> <pant>

*(We have a long way to go before turning you into Garmr...)* <sigh>

###  Training.

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly.

Okey... Come here, lazy dog. No more sleeping all day long, today I'm going to train you!

<Whines>

No complaining. Soooo, what will we be starting with...? Hmm... Let's do some...

* **Running**

 \*You need at least 1  Bone

Look at this juicy bone! If you follow me, I'll give it to you... Deal? Let's run! Come!

<pant> <pant> <pant>

I said come! Stupid dog!

<Woof!>

No, it's not time for your meal already! Grumble... Let go of the bone! You have to run first!

*Valur took a firm grip on the bone in Kari's hand, who wouldn't let it go either. The dog started to pull, and so did Kari... She tried to run into the forest, dragging the dog along with her. It lasted for a long hour... The dog didn't run one bit. But Kari... She was sweating form pulling his weight all this way.*

* Kari: + Fatigue
* Kari gains +5 Constitution

Stupid <Pant> <pant> dog <pant>... You're as stubborn as <pant> <pant>... As... Me? Grumble... Here's your freaking bone.

* You lose a  bone.

<Woof!>

* **Fetching**

 \*You need at least 1  Bone

Look at this splendid stick! You want it, right?

<Woof!>

So go get it!

*Kari threw the woodstick as far as possible, towards the forest.*

...

<pant> <pant> <pant>

GET IT! STUPID DOG!

<pant> <pant> <pant>

Are you dumb or what? Go. Get. The. Damned. Stick! Every dog knows that one simple trick.

<Whines>

Grumble grumble... I'll show you again...

*It lasted for a long hour... Kari was throwing the stick again and again, but to no avail... She had to slip into the roughest places of the forest to fetch back the stick. She finished the training utterly depressed.*

* Kari: + Drpression
* Kari gains +5 Agility

<Sigh> you're really... urgh... What am I going to do with you...

* **Attacking**

Look, Valur, this tree is not a tree... IT'S OUR ENEMY! Look at me, I'm attacking this vile foe! Attack! Yaaah! Attack! Bite! Claw! Nasty tree! Yaaaah!

*Kari attacked the tree herself... The dog gave her a sorry glare.*

<Whines>

ARE YOU A MORON OR WHAT?! Not even a single bark? Seriously?!

*The dog slowly moved to the tree, and took a pee on it.*

... RrrrRrrrrrrraaaargh!!!

*Kari kept on attacking the poor tree until her hands turned red with blood.*

* Kari: + Injury

*Valur didn't train, but at least Kari practiced her strength.*

* Kari gains +5 Strength

<pant> <pant> ... <pant> <pant>

I guess the enemy wasn't scary enough... I swear, next time we see Björn, you'll be in the frontline!

<Woof!> <pant> <pant> <pant>

* **It's no use...**

Pfffff!!! It's no use... You're just as useful as a troll turd!

<Woof!> <pant> <pant> <pant>

No, don't be happy! I'm insulting you, you stupid dog! You should be ashamed!

<pant> <pant> <pant>

*He doesn't even understand that I'm yelling at him... By Loki... Are all dogs this DUMB?*

###  Spilled Meal.

This event does not appear to have a trigger and occurs randomly.

AHA! My first decent meal in AGES! Mom has her flaws, but I have to admit, her cooking is comparable to Frigg's! <giggle>

<woof!>

You agree too, Valur? You're not so dumb then, after all! <giggle>

<woof!>

What the-... Stop licking my face, stupid... Teeheehee... Come on now <giggle> stop! What... WHAT?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???!!!! You've spilled my meal all over the floor you lDlOTlC MORONIC STUPID DOG!

<slurp> <slurp>

...And now you're eating it all... Perfect.

* Kari: + Hunger

* **Let it go**

<sigh> I guess you're starving too... Just like all of us.

Kari: +5 Wisdom

<Woof!>

Wait here, I'll see if I can find something else for you. Hmm...? What's this? Who spilled water on the shelter floor? But... That's... Not water...!!! Filthy dog!! Urrghhhh!!!

* **Let it go**

<Pant> <Pant> <Pant>

And you're proud of yourself...

<Woof!>

<Sigh> You're a lost cause... But well... I guess we could all be dead tomorrow, so... No need to get upset over a little pee.

Kari gains the positive trait  Knowledge of dogs permanently.

<Woof!>

* **Let the anger out**

(Skip to *I'm going to kill him!*)

* **Scold him**

You're a BAD dog! A VERY BAD ONE! Come here, I'll show you...

*Kari chased the dog all around the camp, but never managed to catch him... She lost track of him after a while.*

Pff... COWARD! <pant> <pant>

* Kari: + Fatigue

Now I'm hungry AND tired... Urgh... I will have to eat some crap meal again... What the...?! Who spilled water on the shelter's floor? But... That's... Not water...!!! Filthy dog!!! Urrghhhh!!!

I'm going to kill him!

*Kari grabbed a stick and repeatedly hit the wall like Thor bashing giants' skulls.*

* Kari gains the positive battle trait Frenzied for 2-4 days.

*She was totally spent... She went to her room and collapsed on her bed.*

Hmmrgnn?! You again...

* Kari: - Depression

<woof!>

* **Get lost!**

Get the Hel out of here before I turn you into my meal!!!

* Kari gains the negative Traits Angry for 2 days.

<whines>

###  Persevere.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Spilled Meal".

Pffff... That freaking DOG! I swear, he's SO useless! All he does is sleep and eat our food. And pee everywhere. Urgh!

... It takes time to educate a little dog. You need to persevere, child.

See how long it took my sister to educate you... And see the result... It takes a VERY long time.

Ah. Ah. Very funny. Can't we just abandon him in the forest? I don't want him anymore...

NO WAY. You've committed yourself, child. You have to take care of him until the end.

But mom...!

End of the discussion.

Pfff... That's SO unfair...

Look at the bright side... It's a good training for you to learn how to take care of babies...

... And you, did you ever learn?

AH! I'm-... err... *(Damn, she has a point...)*

* Moira: +10 to opinion of Kari

### Ravine.

This event only occurs after the previous event "Persevere".

Where is that stupid dog? Still peeing in the shelter I presume... Hmm... Not there? HEY DOG, COME HERE! I HAVE SOME TREAT FOR YOU! ... Hey Moira, have you seen the dog today?

No.

Hmrpf... I'm starting to get worried. This dumb dog could have fallen into a ravine or whatever.

*Kari started looking for the dog, nowhere to be seen in the camp. Her heart began racing as she was calling for him in the nearby forest.*

Valur! Where are you, dummy? It-... it's not fun anymore, come back now! WHAT THE-...!!!

*Kari slipped on some moss and fell into a ravine. She tumbled multiple times between rocks and thorny branches...*

* Kari: + Injury

*She suddenly got stopped by a large tree trunk, which then fell onto her legs. She fainted from the pain, and once she recovered her senses, she soon found out that one of her legs was stuck under the trunk!*

*(By the gods, my entire body is aching! And my leg...)* AAAAHHHRR!!! *(Nothing to be done, I’m fucking stuck under this damned tree! And my leg must be broken. Great.)*

* Kari gains the wound Fractured Leg for 4 days.

*(Don't tell me that how I'm going to die?! Oh Hel no! Odin, you can't do this to me!) (What the... I saw something move over there! Could it be...) (Wolves... Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck... If they notice me... Of course they did... They're coming!)*

<Hrrrrrrr> <WOOF!> <WOOF!>

Valur?! Don't attack them! You'll die!

*At Kari's great surprise, the dog attacked and repelled the wolves with frenzied barks, bites and claws!*

Wow... Good job! You're a good boy! Good boy!

<Woof!>

Come here my little-... Aaaand of course, he left. Great, I won't be eaten by wolves. I'll just die here from starvation in a couple of days instead. Perfect.

* Kari: + Depression

*Time passed... Kari soon fell asleep as she was cursing the gods and her fate. Then she felt something viscous on her cheeks...*

<Woof!> <Woof!>

Hngnr? You're back again? That's nice, but...

KARI! KARI! Is that you over there?!

Mom? Mom... MOM! DAD! HERE! You went back to the camp and led them here? You did that, my good doggie?

<Woof!> <pant> <pant> <pant>

Ahaha! Stop licking my face, you dummy! You're the best!

*Blodeuwedd freed Kari from the tree trunk and Eirik carried her back home. They also took the wolves' corpses with them.*

* You gain some Raw Meat, Bones, Pelts

*Everyone was relieved and Kari enjoyed telling again and again the story of the brave dog who fought a pack of giant wolves and rescued her. Their bond would last forever.*

* Kari: - Depression
* Kari gains the positive trait Doggie Special Bond permanently.
