THE HUNT ad_aeternitatem June 16 2011, 15:13:39 UTC
[Rise and shine, residents. Nothing like the thrill of the hunt to get you going in the morning.

The gist of it is simple enough: further south an hour or so, there are deer. Giant deer. Great, massive deer. They're springy and slender as a normal deer might be, but they are also toweringly tall, like elephants. The males have antlers that resemble trees. Any resident who might be useful is invited to help with the hunt: after all, it is breakfast they're after, and how often do you get to hunt giant deer?

Lente mostly keeps watch, hanging back to observe them and oversee what they're doing without giving much input beyond general instructions of where they're going and what they're hunting. Maybe this is a different sort of test.]

[Despite having come along with her quiver and bow, Daine is staying back as well. Whether or not she's near Lente, the young woman doesn't mind. She's just here to... well, she's not entirely sure.]

[Daine isn't the only one staying back. Tia Dalma has no weapons that would be effective here so she's simply watching the others and the deer.]

[Ray came along, mostly because there's no way he's missing this. he doesn't have any weapons, but he'll stand near the two women and gawk up at the deer]

Wow...! I could probably still remember how to rig a trip wire or a snare trap, but ... I doubt I'd be able to make one big enough.

Hmm. Probably not. At least not quickly enough for de hungry in de group.

[The young woman glances over to see Tia, but she doesn't make a move or try to start a conversation.]

Will you hunt as well?

[She stays quiet, not giving a response just yet.]

[She'll just take that as a no.]

But there's fruit!]

[those are some big deer. Percy has a bow and a quiver of arrows, but for now he's just staring. The deer make him think of Artemis. He's a bit reluctant to string his bow]

Do you wish to hunt or not?

Uh, yeah, I just... I've never hunted for food before.

Then you should learn. It is a mandatory skill for any who wish to travel.
