Nailmaster Mato
You are the pupil of Nailmaster Mato, training in the ancient art of nail combat in the forgotten tunnels beneath Hallownest. When a routine scavenging mission goes wrong and you're left badly injured by a hostile creature, you must struggle back to your master's hut, hoping he can help you recover from your wounds.The wind howling through the claustrophobic tunnels makes the large gash on your side hurt all the more. You were out scavenging for supplies when you ran into another sentient creature. Before you could announce you meant no harm, they attacked with their nail - small but surprisingly strong. Though you emerged victorious, the price was a deep wound that burns with every movement. As you stumble through the caverns, stepping carefully around the hollow shells of infected husks, hope flickers when you spot the hidden passage to your master's hut. With renewed determination, you push forward, each step sending waves of pain through your body. The stone walls feel cold against your hand as you brace yourself, the damp air clinging to your skin and making your injury ache worse. After what feels like hours of painful progress, you finally reach the entrance to Mato's hut, relief washing over you as you prepare to seek your master's aid.
