Syntax: TRACK <target>
Description: Using your snout you can quickly seek out your prey, bringing along anyone who might

be following you. Your target must be outdoors and either in the same local area or in an adjacent one.

Den
Syntax: DIG DEN COLLAPSE DEN LOCATE DEN
Description: Additional syntax: STORE CARRION and EAT CARRION

This will create a small den to the 'in'. You can build dens in forests, valleys, swamps, mountains,

grasslands, hills, and some natural underground locations. You may only ever have one den at a 

time. You can additionally store carrion within your den, providing you have fresh corpses to do so.

When you so choose, you can consume the carrion you have stored.

When first you build your den it will have a default description. Your patron has permission to redescribe your den, as long as it stays within the confines of a small, natural, hollowed out hole.

In other words, do not ask for a furnished room, with pillars and windows.

Quietus
Syntax: QUIETUS and QUIETUS REPRIEVE [CEASE]
Description: You now have the ability to fake your own death instantly, or prepare yourself to do

so the next time you take damage. If your opponent attempts to pick up your 'corpse' while you are faking death, you will leap up in a surprise attack and strike them, dealing damage and stunning them. You will be immune to attack while faking your death, but you will be unable to perform any actions yourself.
