@dungeons Alright, folks. You've got a Jackal eyeing you up, but your health is pretty decent. No need for a short rest yet. Fighting it won't be a big challenge, but remember - there's not much experience or gold to gain here. Avoiding could save you some potential damage. Going to town is only beneficial if you're low on health or want to stock up, but neither applies now. Given the circumstances, I'd say avoid the beast. It's not worth the potential hassle.
