[QUOTE="narayan, post: 7179389, member: 6677509"] [b]Joseth Occius[/b] [I]You spot a local Water Buffalo (Wild Bison) grazing near a large thicket of thorny shrubs and Fever Trees. Water Buffalo's normally graze nearer to rivers, ponds and lakes in their own herds, yet this one was singular. As you peer closer you notice this is no ordinary bison, for it carries packs and a crude saddle of sorts. It is not unheard of for Wild bison to be used as mounts, but only the bravest and strongest dare to ride such strong beasts. It seems unlikely this buffalo belonged to one of the warriors escorting the herd of cattle. Horses or Mules would better suite the job, and this buffalo doesn't bare any of the usual flair of tribal decoration if it belonged to an Omoro tribesman. The cattle tracks meander through the thicket towards what could be a huge clearing on the other side. At this moment you also realize there are many vultures circling in the air above. An ominous sign. A bad feeling comes over you as a vision of an attack on the cattle herd enters your imagination. Tribal cattle herds are often roving feasts for Dire Lions, Hyenas, Jackals, and much worse... Meanwhile the lone buffalo appears to snort and rut its hooves with aggravation. Not towards you specifically (you doubt very much that the beast has picked up your scent yet) but something nearby clearly has its ire up. Perhaps there are predators lurking in the brush? Perhaps you are too late to recover the relic and some monstrous evil has made away with it?! As that thought gets your blood pumping you suddenly hear a voice howl [COLOR=#0000CD]"Varsullu!"

The buffalo reacts to the howl like a summons, charging into the thicket swinging its massive horns to and fro ready to trample and gore anything in its path!
