@Gent: d20+1 = (2)+1 = 3

Fuck me

Vag is a lost cause

I’m fucking doing this until he gets it right

It holds its mouth open again, making a short rasping noise.

okay

Might as well since max and xbrox aren't showing up

I’m going to yell

“Get em”

Than I’m going to claw and bite at the tree while on all fours

Maybe if I get on his level

Than

Vag steps back and makes his hissing noise.

I’m going to eat a treat

I’ll walk over to him

Feed him half a treat

Than hold up the other half

While yelling “Vag, get em” and pointing at the tree

Your throat starts clogging up as you realize you just ingested hemlock.

The fuck is hemlock

Give me 10 death rolls

There is not a substance that could kill a human but not a badger

Don’t give me that shit

Alright alright

/r d20+1

@Gent: d20+1 = (17)+1 = 18

Oh baby

He did a thing

Vag walks over to the tree stump. He curls his head back and makes his signature hissing and clicking noise.

God fucking damnit

you should start using your whip Kappa

You know that's how a badger shows aggression

I suppose

It scares the shit out of most animals

You know what

It’s good enough

I’ll call him over and give him the half a treat, and another whole one

Than I’ll pet him and say “good job”

Rusp, the "treats" are singular berries

I’ve been taking little chunks of them

Just

Ahh

After receiving his treats, Vag looks at you expectingly for a minute, then goes back to doing badger business after he realizes no more treats are coming.

Ok

I’ll get his attention

Point at the tree

And say “Vag, get em”

/r d20+3

@Gent: d20+3 = (17)+3 = 20

We’ve done it

Vag runs over to the tree and starts hissing at it loudly, barring his teeth.

You now believe that you can at least get him to pull this maneuver reliably for now.

Wonderful

I’ll call him over and give him three berries

What a wonderful time this has been

This is like a filler episode

rip viewer ratings

Vag consumes the berries. He lays down in the grass appearing satisfied with himself.

All right

Thank god it worked

Because I had no other ideas on how to teach him what to do

I mean, I'll assume the standard ways will work. It's just that for dogs it'd basically be guaranteed

That’s fair

I’m not sure what my 20 even did tbh

Is it the reason I succeeded?

Your crit showed he even understood the signals you were giving

Nice

My free action of screaming at vag will no longer do nothing

Although it did save my life before

He only helped you because the wolves attacked vag's source of food, as he saw it

Help is help

Has the training session improved our bond?

If you think it has

Going off that response that nope

Bonding with a badger is probably very difficult to be fair

Although if it was a predomesticsted one I’m not sure if that stands true

"Bond" is a bit of a hard term to use

For the most part, it'll act in its own self interest

Yeah
