"Hello sweeties. Nekumbra here.

Mmm it's been a while hasn't it? I've been quite busy, so you may not have noticed that I haven't been around so much. My lair had to be remodeled, it's quite beautiful now, mmm...

I just came up and found out it was October! My favorite month, as I love seeing the little dears all dressed up in their pelts and masks. Makes me just want to eat them right up, hehe!

And come to think of it, I'm quite famished. So I'll be on the lookout for the cutest, most adorable fawns in the Forest. I can't wait to see the little dears.

Mmm and all the stags and does in the area, I'll politely ask you to stay away when you see me...I don't want to fight you at all, just let me have my meal, okay?

So without further ado...mmm...the October hunt is on!"

-----------------

In celebration of Halloween, Nekumbra will be popping in the Forest more often.

She's very hungry, and wants to have a fawn for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So she will be stalking fawns for the rest of the month Eye


How it works



Step 1 - Fawn approaches alone, or Nekumbra finds a lone fawn



Step 2 - Nuzzle = they've been eaten. Nek normally won't approach if an adult is present (the adult in the pic was sitting when she went to nuzzle the fawn)



Step 3 - Run run run!! Nekumbra has eaten another fawn (and the player is completely unaware that it had happened)


What to look for



Look for her distinctive hourglass pictogram. It's supposed to resemble a black widow spider's hour glass.


What to do when you see her


Fawns
- If you see her, and she's looking your way, the best thing to do is to run to the nearest adult deer. Nekumbra won't follow you if you're too close to an adult. (Note - sleeping adults don't really count, she will approach, but if they wake up, she'll run.)

- If you get nuzzled, don't worry about it. Your character isn't dead, and Nekumbra will run off. You'll just be added to her count of 'victims' Eye

- If you don't want to play, then stamp the ground and shake your head. That will be my cue that you don't want me around, and I'll bow and run off.




Adults
- If you see her around, the best thing to do is run at her. Nekumbra will quickly flee the area. Please don't relentlessly chase me, that takes the fun out of this

- If you see a fawn alone and Nekumbra's close by, go stand by them. She won't pursue the fawn if there's an adult nearby.

- If you see her nuzzle a fawn, don't worry about it. The fawn isn't dead, and Nekumbra will run off.

- If you don't want to play, then stamp the ground and shake your head. That will be my cue that you don't want me around, and I'll bow and run off.




Other things to note
- While I'm running around, I am looking all around with the camera angle and not always looking where I'm going. I may accidentally run close to a sitting deer or a group of deer, and if I do, I apologize. I'm not always looking forward when Nekumbra's running

- Nekumbra may nuzzle the same fawn twice in one day. I'm not keeping track of pictograms so they count as two fawns eaten despite being the same fawn.

- When I need to sit her down somewhere to update the list or go AFK, she will hide in a big tree. It's supposed to be like her actually climbing up the tree.

She's a lot of fun, when I was playing her more often this hunting was an everyday occurrence. I've just been caught up with my job search lately that I haven't had time to play much at all.

It'll be later tonight when I'll probably put her in. Just thought I'd announce it was going on now, but thanks for the interest Eye

Hah! This is actually a rather clever[and adorable] way to "eat" fawns. Makes me wish I'd thought of such a thing with Dohr. xD
But good luck[?] with your fawn noms! Maybe one of my fellows will get to play defender for one. ^_^

X3 Nek's about to come

X3

Nek's about to come online. Hide yo fawns.

She had a successful hunt and snatched up three fawns, though she had quite a bit of adult intervention. Still fun though XD.

Only weird thing was when she approached a nameless stag and next thing I know there's a huuuuuge crow that appears out of nowhere and starts flapping their wings. It freaked Nek out so she ran, not sure what was going on.

Speaking of that, nameless deer are exempt from this, so Nek will approach and interact with them. She knows they don't know who she is or the horrors she's done, so she considers them safe.

hmm... really interesting!

I had Nek on for a moment, then saw Redkora online, so I switched to Quad...but I think she just logged off. Not sure...anyway, Nek will be back hunting in a few moments then.

xD That's hilarious! I just recently made a new account, so I may start playing on that account more often so I'll be a fawn, and you can chase me. lulz

On my main account, my character is quite clueless, so if he sees you eating a fawn, he probably won't know what to do anyway. He may approach you and bow as if to any other deer, probably thinking that you are some kind of goddess. xP

Sorry, the nameless stag appeared to be a fawn in my screen, so my bird!kalma jumped in between you two. XD He was sitting on a branch above the nameless, quite hidden from everyone's eyes rofl.

Oh it sounds interesting.

Oh it sounds interesting. Nekumbra like the heroine of old myths and legends about demon women which devoured a little childrens.

And I think that I saw her Picto when I played for my little Sahrot? If it's so, it was so close!

Tuoho - no worries

Tuoho - no worries XD

RedKora - It's fine, I'll get to meet up with you sometime Eye

TmA - Not sure, I haven't really kept track of who she's gotten or who was in the area. But I hope you got to see her, she's a lot of fun.


"Mmmm...hungry again...time to hunt..."

Edit - Well Nekumbra had a feast today, 10 fawns in total.

Though that count would have been much higher if she was able to partake in the 'buffet' near the old Bridge. I swear there were 7 or 8 fawns all gathered together there, and if it wasn't for the 4 or 5 adult deer they were hanging out with, Nekumbra would have gotten every single one of them.

Anyway, she ate her fill and is offline now
