Let's Go Hunting!

[ziedrich_bearer]

Okay all, as you may remember, Gladio reached out to the network a bit ago about people to go hunting. And I got lost in other things. But now I'm back and I'm checking in on interest. Here's the plan. This is a really small, just general hunting thing, so it's not going to need mod permissions but we should talk about planning this.

So, let's talk. First comment on this will be a 'Check in if you're interested'. Then comments to talk out what we want? Treat it like a mini player event. No one is obligated to interact with anyone else but Gladio if they want. I sorta just want him and others bringing back some nice meat to end the winter with.

And yes, handwaved involvement is cool too.


Edit: I'll be backdating the hunt to occur during part of the Ren Faire. Don't wanna bump into the event for March.

Oh, and to add, the game does have rules about serious injury/death, so if you wanna verge into that for your character, remember to reply to Injuries and Deaths for Agrii intervention of anything that is REALLY bad levels.

Gladio Plotting

[ziedrich_bearer]

Okay, so since I'm the one driving this, I should start, yeah?

Here's my thoughts. Gladio absolutely wants to go after one of the giant bunnyboars in Sh'Ka. So that's the target. Keith has told him a tiny bit about how to track them, but dude is NOT the greatest tracker. He IS a good plotter, though, so he'll be trying to arrange the following:

-Going ahead with a forward team (with a tent) to find a base to serve for hunting purposes. He'd probably one 1 person to join him on the forward team (preference given to Bull if the player is still interested). They would start by setting up a place for the hunting team, and future hunts to operate from. Low impact site, probably in a mostly surviving building.

-Tracking/Scouting to try and find the likely target area. This could be either Gladio and 1 to 2 others, or even him delegating to a two person team who would scout the area, preferably from the trees, and call the rest of the hunting group down.

-Distraction Team AKA HP Tanks and Kites. This would be Gladio's main focus in the fight. He'd want to work with 1 to 2 other people to serve as the main visual threats, holding the attention of the boar while others take it down. Not that Gladio and this team won't be doing damage, but their point will be to stick to the front of the thing's face to try and keep the tucks, teeth, and charges directed at themselves. These would need to be big, durable people, or quick people who could dodge out of the way. Idea of this thread would be Gladio and other person(s) doing all sorts of dodging and attacks, with assumed combat from the actual 'take down' team.

-Take Down Team AKA Damage Dealers/Final Blow. This would be the secondary team. They could be handwaved, they could be threaded. Or they could end up running into their own trouble and be responsible for taking down a second, perhaps smaller Bunny Boar or some other threat. Because why have things go well?




Basically, if all of this, in a general sense, sounds good, we could split up the interested parties and put them into their own threads under a single header. I'd liken it to the Agrii ship stuff, but only Keith's player of the previous interest group has been through that before, so yeah, right over heads.

Anyway, what it would be would be a Log post that would have a TL for the Forward Team to work under, one for the Tracking/Scouting team, and one or two for the fight, depending on if there is enough for the Take Down team to want to exist and/or get up to their own shenanigans.

(and also in general anyone could do other TLs under this like 'here's a thing from the Agrii seeing a dude with a cane going hunting and offering him a hunting vest or something' or 'here's a person no one expected showing up and helping some group'


All told I would expect the whole thing to take 2 to 3 days out in Sh'Ka to Set-Up, Recon, Take Down so the characters would want to be around for at least two of those days, and then maybe longer to help with the butcher and transfer of meats for preservation/use. Gladio's intended method of getting things back is to load the hold of his ship, the Cake Dance. People giving him ideas on good transportation that doesn't mean he has to hand scrub the hold after will be a bonus. And hey, if someone else is a pilot, they could even fly in the follow up crew the second day after Gladio and his other Forward Team member send an ok to join them.

Yelena would like to scout. She is an excellent tracker. She has no powers to track per say but as a Widow, she became an expert tracker/sniper.

[tempredmental]

Keith's a pilot, has Kosmo to help scout and track if needed, and will definitely be good on the second melee team. He's more of a DPS, I guess, than a tank (though I'm not 100% familiar with those terms as I haven't done a game in that genre in like literally over a decade haha).

Rey could be either a kite or DPS, wherever ends up needing a laser sword and Force powers more. She could also offer up BB-8 to the tracking team if they need him, he’s a p good tracker.
