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.

Current Plans

[ziedrich_bearer]

Alright, based on responses so far here's my proposed team split up. Let me know if you like the looks of these. Teams would have the option to play out or handwave their threads, based on what they feel they can handle. But each team would have a general 'major plot point' to hit as their main 'goal'. And for help reference, our map of Sh'Ka


Forward Team
-Gladio and Bull

Team's purpose will be to head out on the Flygood on the Evening of Day 1 of the expedition. Their duty will be finding a place to set up for everyone else to strike from. They will be setting up on the lower, open levels of the Civics Center (Sh'Ka 4). This will be the rendezvous point for the rest of the team


Scouting Team
-Yelena and Keith (Plus Kosmo)

Team's purpose is to head out from the camp on Day 2 and search the Overgrown Forest (Sh'Ka 15) and Corridor (Sh'Ka 14) for signs of the bunnyboars. They would be trying to figure out if there are Bunnyboar in the area (there are) and where they frequent. They can also help determine a good point to set up an ambush. They can also help direct the hunt teams to finding the pray on the day of the hunt [Day 3] and I could even suggest that maybe they manage to take down a juvenile bunnyboar if they are confident in a good, quick fight, or driving off other members of the sound (group name for boars)


Distraction Team
-Gladio and Rey

Team's purpose is to keep the eyes of the primary target (and any other boar that might be around before being driven off) on them. The combination of big weapons, lots of flashy light, and of course Force powers, should hopefully keep the tusks, teeth, and charges focused on them. Ultimately these two will get in some combat, but could be fun to try and drive off a second boar at the same time, to keep their teammates safe.


Take Down Team
-Noctis, Iron Bull (Some of all of Scouting might join if the players are all okay with it)

Team purpose is to ultimately take the beast down. Biggest damage dealers, trying to keep attention to flanks and back. Would be the ones getting to have the 'final blow', and can feel free to suggest they are harried by other, smaller bunnyboar if they really want.


Timeline
Day 1
-Gladio and Bull arrive on Flygood in evening, set up camp

Day 2
-Other members arrive, either on ships or by train, make way to forward camp.
-Scouts go out to confirm that prey exists and work on figuring out where to direct the team. (ultimate answer will be Overgrown Forest)
-Everyone can socialize by the camp that night

Day 3
-Teams set out on hunt
-Scouting team pinpoints targets for final run
-Distraction Team does initial engagement to open approach of others, provides focus for the ire of the Bunnyboar, to keep it from turning to go after their teammates
-Take Down Team joins the fight and ultimately defeats the Bunnyboar
-(Optional) Scout team either joins fight with Take down [with take down team player permission] or, if they want more to do, take down a smaller beast
-Teams work together to patch each other up afterward and those willing to help with it start the butchering process

Day 4
-Transportation of the full take back to the ships [someone who knows them may suggest summoning Reeve to freeze the meat with magic, or Tommy to help with hauling]
-All members returning to Temba do so



So, does all of this sound good? If so I can set up a post for all of this either tonight or tomorrow. My major intention was just general points with the groups so that they have options to improv of course, but they will absolutely achieve their general purpose so the players don't have to monitor across various groups to make sure they can do things. All teams WILL achieve their specific general goal, but can run into complications and resolve these on their own.

If it's good, we can start plotting comments in here too for the teams so teams can confirm any plans of their own. Please reply to the comment BELOW THIS ONE to confirm if this is okay. I want to be able to edit this if plans need changed.
