Adira
Coyote flattened his ears as he watched you approach the stairs, shaking his head.
"You're crazy going up there... but you're crazier if you think I'm just gonna leave you."
He sat down, obviously refusing to go near it, but he watches you with baited breath.
You take a step towards the old stairs... these ones are carpeted, and you sniff the shag as you take the first step onto it.
Nothing happens...
You take another few steps up the staircase, ducking under the branches of a tree to continue forward.
Nothing happens...
You slowly creep your way up to the top, standing for a moment with no concern.
However, every second you spend at the top of the stairs, the feeling of dread deep in your gut grows and grows.
Suddenly, it seems whatever cosmic timer you ticked off finally ran out of time, and something faster than either of you could see came slashing down through the tree tops, taking several branches down with it, and slicing a sizable gash in your chest and throat!
-60 HP!
You instantly choke on your own blood, and stumble backward, tumbling down the Staircase.
Coyote catches you, his ears flat and his voice distant as you struggle to think or breathe.
"Hold on, hold on! I think i- I think I have a healing potion or something!"
Coyote panted, fear and trauma obvious on his face as he fumbled through his bag with one paw and desperately put pressure on the wound with the other.
-5 HP
You're loosing blood fast, and all you can do with such a drastic wound is stare up at the carpeted staircase... now soaked deep red with your blood.
"Here! Here! I got you!"
Coyote said and held up your head to dump the potion down your throat and hold your muzzle closed for a second.
Almost instantly, you feel a numbing sensation through all of the horible pain, and you quickly are able to relax as the wound heals over.
+20 HP Stopped Bleeding
Theres still a massive scar where the wound hit you, and Coyote looks understandably traumatized as he backs away from you to give you room to breath.
"Are you gonna be okay?"
He asked, his eyes searching you for any pain or flowing blood.
