1.
Nock an arrow. Aim. It's a tricky shot through undergrowth.
Difficulty: Derring-Do*6/5 (uses 1 action)
Success: Your aim is true Your bow sings, and the arrow hums neatly between two ribs to find the hind's heart. The beast snorts once, rears, and falls. You inspect the carcass. The beast was in its prime. Your cooks will be glad of the venison as they prepare for the feast.
+1 Viand
Failure: Winged Could the hind have heard your arrow slide from the quiver? Even so far away? Startling, it darts away, and your arrow only finds its flank. It stumbles into the trees, favoring its other legs, and you give chase. If you can catch it again before the light fades you can put an end to this.

Another shot It's already wounded. It's weak and slow.
Success: Second time lucky Your shot thuds home. The beast brays, staggers, and falls. You inspect the carcass. The hind was in its prime, and your cooks will be glad of its venison as they prepare for the feast.
