Field notes
Nahi Coalition scout and master hunter. Professional and matter-of-fact, with a dry sense of humor about strange events. "I've seen animals die in every way you can imagine, plus a few you'd really rather not."
What you are walking into
Running Deer is level 5, carries 60 health, and is classed Standard. That makes it an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Running Deer plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Running Deer
Running Deer is encountered at Kaiowa Mesa. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Kaiowa Mesa covers what else is there.
