I think I'm in the mood for some big game hunting in the CES. Didn't do it often back home, but when you hit unsettled land and you're low on food? You improvise. Anybody else up for it? 

I figured some fresh kills might make for some interesting meals, at least.

I am, if you will have me. I have some guns I have not had cause to fire yet, and I would love to hunt.

[gimmethemap]

Well then let's get them shot. Everyone's welcome that wants it.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I shall see if Angelica will join us. She is a fair shot indeed.

I reserve small game rights too. Nothing like shooting some rabbits.

[gimmethemap]

Rabbits? Hell, I'm hoping that loud sweary guy was right about there being bears.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

No harm in killing rabbits as well.

Can I hope for a wolf? I have always wanted to kill a wolf.

[gimmethemap]

I think you should try not to hope for a wolf. There's never just one.

Y'know, back in port they said there were wolves out in the woods. I never met a damn one. Ran into a couple guys who were a bit frisky, but no wolves.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

This is true.

There were woods in port? It did not seem exactly like the sort of place which came with wolves, though. Maybe it was a metaphor.

[gimmethemap]

I can't really be sure, to be perfectly honest.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I do wish I had known there were woods. Nevermind.

I would be happy to go too. I haven't had a proper hunt since I left Camelot.

[gimmethemap]

Camelot?

[pendragon-prat.livejournal.com]

My kingdom.

[gimmethemap]

Sure, kid. You know how to use a gun?

[pendragon-prat.livejournal.com]

Ah, no. I prefer to use a crossbow or a spear.

What's a gun?

[gimmethemap]

It shoots like a crossbow is shot, only it's a bead of metal. It breaks through most armor and travels even greater distances, with better accuracy.

[pendragon-prat.livejournal.com]

I would like to try it.

What sort of game are we after?

[gimmethemap]

Big game. Some small if it pleases, but me? I'd like a challenge.

[voiceshall_echo]

I'll go.

[gimmethemap]

Happy to have you along.

[voiceshall_echo]

Will we be supplied weapons?

[gimmethemap]

Good question. That's best left up to your Warden. No offense, but I don't want to step on any toes.

[voiceshall_echo]

Of course.

[vampish_aleera]

There are animals kept in there...?

[gimmethemap]

Apparently. I only ever see them at a distance but then I've never chased them. The noisy guy with the hat has apparently done some hunting in there though.

[vampish_aleera]

And you wish to slaughter them!

[gimmethemap]

For food, yes. Fresh meat's better than stuff that's been stored.

[vampish_aleera]

And you would slit their throats and devour them without mercy!

[gimmethemap]

Actually, no. I would track them, shoot them -- which when done correctly is swift and quite merciful, bring their bodies back to the kitchen, and harvest some good meat for the stores.

[vampish_aleera]

This is not so fun.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

I'm in.

[gimmethemap]

Think you can get Peter to say okay to you having a weapon?

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

Hopefully. How many wardens will be there?

[gimmethemap]

Counting three so far.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

That ought to be enough for him to let me go.

[gimmethemap]

Please ask him, Adam; don't make me chase your Warden for you.

[madrassa.livejournal.com]

I'd love to try.

[gimmethemap]

You ever been hunting before?
