Surprising the folk
Contrary to my expectations, sweeping up the entire area clear out of any herbs I told my subordinates to look for, took them way less time than I hoped it would. Living their entire life on the mercy of the forest had to have something to do with their unbelievable efficiency of work!
In the end, I only managed to bait three big beasts, out of which one I had to discard due to its poisonous nature. As I was jumping around the place, I didn't miss the chance to get back at nature by hunting down three hare-like creatures before adding them to the pile of soon-to-be edible meat.
Out of one hundred people that initially were supposed to follow me, by the time I called them all back to the clearing, only eight of them left their groups and disappeared into the woods, allowing me to cast away all my worries related to the transport of the hunted game.
