Hunter
You hold your breath as you lie in wait in the tree. The herd of beasts are below you and a single unexpected noise could send them stampeding away and your village will miss out on a much needed meal. Instead you wait patiently until the moment you’re ready to strike. A large male lumbers a short distance from the main herd but his position is all wrong. Wait...not yet. As he turns his broad side to you, you react quickly, drawing your bow and letting loose an arrow. It hits its mark but the powerful male and herd all bound away in fear. Dropping down you track the trail of blood to a large corpse with an arrow fletched like the others in your quiver sticking out of its chest. Your village will eat well tonight.
