Harefolk Hunter makes a campfire
Having spent some time adventuring with her Party members, Harefolk Hunter journeyed with them to take out a small Goblin nest. Her help was a massive boon to her teammates, allowing them to strategize and coordinate much better. Luckily her long range abilities allowed her to back up Club Fighter and her knife skills let her swap out as the front liner when Club Fighter needed a break. Successful, the trio collected their loot, and prepared to return to the village that hired them, but they were ambushed by a Wyvern. Running away proved hard for Harefolk Hunter whose stamina depleted quickly. Club Fighter carried her and asked her to "listen for water" which she found with her heightened hearing. The trio then jumped into the river to escape.
Harefolk Hunter and her Party escape the Wyvern
Harefolk Hunter would soon pull her friends out of the water and make camp in a cave, and absentmindedly forget she stripped everyone including herself of their wet clothes in front of Club Fighter. While they healed the three came up with a plan to escape the Wyvern, using her poisons, they coated their small tent with it and broken glass from their potions. Harefolk Hunter then shot the Wyvern in the mouth with her crossbow allowing Supreme God's Cleric an opening to hit it with her Holy Smite, grounding the beast, and giving Club Fighter the chance to throw the poisoned cloak at the Wyvern's face. With this, the three took the opportunity to escape to safety.

Having been hired as temporary security for a casino called "The Mermaid", which was actually a front for the Rogues Guild, Supreme God's Cleric had forced Club Fighter to work out back so he wouldn't see her in "Harefolk Girl" uniform out of embarrassment to which Harefolk Hunter thought she was over reacting.
When she and Supreme God's Cleric were asked to keep on eye on a VIP's guest who was revealed to be Priestess, Cleric had dragged Harefolk Hunter into back so she wouldn't see them. Cleric wanted no one to see her in her outfit but Harefolk Hunter admitted she had no problems, but decided to take the moment to get a snack as Changeling agreed to cover for Cleric.
