Kara takes whatever jobs she can, from whoever will give them, only occasionally turning things down if her morals disagree with them. The problem is that the dangerous jobs pay well, and she needs the money.
Today, she's stalked a Manticore halfway up a mountain, after tales from the local villagers suggested it's cave was up there (they were right). Someone is paying her very highly for the poison that can be extracted. If she manages to get back alive.
It's not looking so great for her right now.
Manticore that she's used to are nothing like the one chasing after her now, and she's incredibly grateful that she waited until regaining the use of her wings before taking on this task. They're the only thing keeping her from ending up as a corpse on the ground.
Right now, the manticore is trying to chase her away from the mountain, knowing it has the upper hand in the open air, so Kara is doing her best to stick close to the rock face.
What she doesn't expect is to nearly knock into a traveller as she rounds a corner. Kara pulls herself up fast, wings snapping against air.
"You'll wanna run."
In case the manticore speeding through the air didn't give that away.
whoops forgot this bit: wildcard!
