Success

A lethal guardian

You don't want either to waste ammunition or to annoy the astronomers […] You bring down a couple of the biggest with a couple of measured, careful shots. After that they get the hint and slink off into the night. The astronomers are grumpy […]

Description summary:
You scare off the wolves, but it doesn't please the astronomers.

Failure

Howls and gunshots

Firing over their heads excites them, firing into their midst enrages them. Eventually you drive them off, but at the cost of twice the noise they usually make. You receive no pay for the night's work.
