⇨ THE HUNT

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 173, the Afternoon
Where: Heartstone Manor Courtyard
What: Everyone goes into the forest with arrows, swords, and horses and is told to hunt and the kill the biggest beast they can find. Best kills win a prize! Or, if you'd rather not, you can wander around the forest and pretend to hunt instead.
Warnings: Violence and ethical quandaries.

BEASTS OF BURDEN↴ Come the day of the Hunt, everyone will be brought to the courtyard forest and provided with arrows, bows, and blades as requested. Magic and other weaponry can be used to hunt, but it is suggested by the Prince that the best kill is the one done in a gentlemanly manner, which probably means he will be most impressed by those using the tools provided. The "Best Kill" will be determined from a mixture or whatever beast the Prince decides is best, and the method in which it was killed. The less damage done to the body the better - tearing the body apart will receive poor grades. The corpses are not yours to eat or keep, and all must be returned to the Prince at the end of the day for judgment. The servants are especially nervous, tense, and solemn today, and unless they have no choice, most of them will be trying to give the courtyard a wide berth. Those that have to serve will have stony expressions, or at best will be trying to put on a cheerful face. If casually asked why they are upset, most of them will say something vague about the Hunt making them nervous, and how dangerous it is to participate. OOC: Those who make top levels will have a chance to be randomly selected for a couple particular plot events, so be prepared for that.

HERE COME THE DUMB BROTHERS

So Lauren and Susan are going after this dragon together! This is the only prey they are going after, and from living in the forest, both boys definitely have hunting experience (what else are they going to be eating living out there? listed in their apps as survival skills). We also will be using AC points for the total of +5 (8 points from Susan, and 7 from Lauren, unless it has to be split by 3s, in which case 9 from Susan and 6 from Lauren).

Susan will be using his magic to attack, rather than a weapon, although if there were any crossbows included in the bows then he may use one of those a bit.

Lauren will be using wind magic to fend off the gas if its blown on them, and otherwise will be using a combination of magic, his staff, and a borrowed sword to fight. OH RIGHT edited to add Lauren has various spells that can cure/prevent against poison because lol druid. So there's another help.
