Lucky for Luvi, she did end up getting a good night’s sleep after all the meditation from last night. The group of soldiers had until late morning until it was time to leave to go help defend the supply route. Even better was that they walked at a slow pace – slow enough for some of the soldiers to break off from the group to try hunting for some food.
There was a private who grew up as a hunter and knew how to follow tracks. He would point them out as they walked along which allowed Luvi to learn what the look for. She didn’t like staring down at the ground and looking for clues - she much preferred to scan the horizon for threats. Still, she partook for the sake of learning and was becoming half decent at spotting jackrabbit tracks. They were unique because of they way the animal moved, setting them apart from the other tracks they came across.
When they finally came across some jack rabbits, Luvi was asked to put her ability to make umbral traps to good use. She didn’t want to waste her ether, but she placed one down nonetheless. It was a small circle, just a couple feet in diameter with a rune of weakness on it.
“You know, I’ve done very minimal testing on this,” she said, “how are you even going to chase the rabbit into this?”
“This is the only way out,” they explained. “It will run out of the hole and it will hit your trap, or it should if it works like you said it does.”
