My guilty feeling

Postby Arrul » Wed Jan 09, 2019 1:55 pm

Ok, I have been hunting Ebon wolfs in the Vethedge forest, for their pelts fetch a good price. And I see these vultures come down and feast on the fresh kills. I know this is a good thing for they help keep the lands clean. But as I watch them get fat as they gorge themself I can not help but cut them down. This is why I feel guilty. For without their help the forest would reek of rotting flesh. But the talons fetch a fair price as well.
So my thoughts are mixed.. Maybe you can help me out.. Is it a good thing to cull the vulture population or should I just let them be.. They do help clean the lands, but the stink and I think the are just getting in my way. What are your thoughts?

The creatures replenish themselves faster then you can cut them down. Trust me you are not hurting the population.

Adventurers and hunters help keep the balance of the wild life of Trinald. If we didn't hunt and kill the beasts in the woods and forests their numbers would become too dangerous to allow traveling from village to village and eventually overrun villages and towns, endangering the population.

Our hunts in these locations have never been known, to my knowledge, to drive a species to extinction or upset the natural order of a habitat.

Now if we start talking about hunting humanoid beings, there's an enchanter around that can give you all sorts of guilty feelings :D

He hunts the wolf of ebon dark
With gnashing teeth and snarling bark.
The price of pelts is far too nice
To pass upon this bounties mark.

The vultures feast, the talons slice
They flock to rotting sacrifice.
What’s left behind on forests floor
Becomes the bait to prey entice.

The smell of such we all deplore.
As vultures dine on blood and gore,
The hunters aim has gone astray;
For now the talons bounty more!

Asks: Should he let the vultures stay?
And let the birds clear the way?
With guilt of conscious he’ll now slay.
On forests floor the vultures lay.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am :D

I know who the character is IG but not by that name... he had another forum account but forgot his password. But since I don't tell alts... so I am not going to give away who he is just in case he doesn't want it known. LOL
