That Ahh haa moment that you realize you worst is about to happen

[piddy3825]

So i am playing a custom game where I dialed up the wolf spawns to max and set the  sensitivity setting on high as well.  Got a great run going so far day 152 and I am making the jaunt through Forelorn Muskeg  on the way back to Mystery Lake.  As circumstances would have it, I'm just a tad over encumbered and I figure I can always drop gear if I have too in case of emergency.  I leave early in the morning near dawn and so far have managed to avoid a bear as I follow the tracks into the fog....

The power lines appear to just disappear into thin air before I can begin to make out the outline of the power pole.  By the time I close the distance and reach the next pole, the mist suddenly disappears and then my Ahh haa moment hits me....  hard too....

5 fryking wolves...  the two in front almost immediately dialed onto me and it wasn't very long before three of those mofo's had their way with me.  I would have taken a few more pics, but in my furious clicking whilst defending myself, I knocked over my beer and had to abort mission.  wolves 1 survivor 0

Pack of wolves?

Seeing four of them so close together is different.

Good thing they only stalk you one at a time. Very polite wolves with a wait-your-turn-mentality😂

You can just slowly walk away - light a fire and carry on. Or light a fire and watch wolf chaos ensue.

Yeah, when I saw the five, I didn't know how many it would take to bring me down, but I knew how many the game was planning on using...  note to self for future encounters, no open containers of liquid on my desk when playing TLD!

This is why I always carry at least 1 flare

yeah, i actually might have prevailed if I hadn't knocked over the beer that I had just cracked...  shift key on my keyboard is kinda sticky now, lol.  oh well, game on!

Actually flare is the worst wolf repellant ever.  Such a trick to pull off with many wolves 😛Just pull out one mighty match and make a fire with 2 sticks. All wolves will wait politely for you to resolve  or run in terror from the firebuilding madness (which goes to say about Wills or Wilmas style).😂

Reminds me of the maintenance shed or area around Quonset sometimes.

yeah, it gets fairly wolf busy in both those locations.
