It's time I tell you the whole story.
Hakam's test required taht we find four signs of prey,
one for each of the main races.
The Gnoll Chieftain Fang is one
of those signs.
Hakam was to pass on his Sharpshooter
on to his successor.
But the test never happened.
A month before the test...
We were hunting a feral wolf.
But Arthyen was injured by a wolf trap
trying to free the rabbit we were using as bait.
The master was furious, and Arthyen was ashamed that he
was wounded over a rabbit.
Arthyen sees animals as living beings,
not game to be hunted.
The master didn't see it that way. He said Arthyen
would never be a hunter.
He gave me the Sharpshooter on the spot.
Ha. I'm not Hakam's successor. Not really.
I didn't pass his test. I don't deserve the title.
And Arthyen and I...
Do you really want to know all this?
Fine. Bring me the Purple Spirit Essence
from the queen of wisps, and I'll tell you the rest.
