"Think you can outrun them while shooting, girls?" You call. "Let's not take any chance with those beasts!"
The mares hesitate, but only for a split second and then abide to your suggestion. You hop on the back of Brass Compass who offers you a hoof to climb on and runs away with the worgs hot on your tail. With Autumn Leaf being nimble enough, and Brass Compass simply having much larger strides, you can keep a safe distance between you and the predators behind. Attacking like that is a whole other issue, though. For a good minute of hot pursuit in the bushes, neither Brass Compass not Autumn Leaf can hit the large worg with their arrows or spells respectively.
It's your big seeker friend that eventually makes contact, her arcane beam striking the creature in the head, and Autumn Leaf can then finish it off with an arrow. You start running again as you expect the other worgs to catch up but… They don’t. At all.
It seems like they've run away. In fact, you have no idea for how long they've stopped been after you, and if might have happened even before you killed the larger worg.
"Shit…" Autum Leaf grumble in frustration.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't be acceptable to let the three runtish worgs roam randomly, so you have to go after them too. Looking for tracks, you have the displeasure to discover that the remaining beasts split up in their escape.
The hunt stretches far into the night with three trails to catch up on. You do eventually kill the beasts without incident and then finally make it back to Starpoint Keep, but it's past midnight when you arrive, and you're all completely exhausted at this point. Autumn Leaf unceremoniously gives you your reward so you can all go get a good night of sleep.
>You completed the quest!
>You gained 70xp (20 less than expected) and 60 coins!
>You recovered 1 mana (you have 3/5)
>You spent 5 coins to sleep at the inn.
You wake up the next day, a little more tired than usual, but after a good breakfast you'll be able to bard on just fine. Brass Compass is getting ready to leave the city, but you still have some time if you want to visit a shop or talk to somepony.
Chara came to take breakfast with you and is ready to travel when you are.
>Travel with Brass Compass and Chara as planned?
>Do/buy/visit something before you leave?
