The Hunt (OOC)

[kartoffelfogel]

GENERAL OUTLINE:
--They’re fast, four-footed lizards. They can be dangerous, but are more likely to flee than fight. I leave the rest to your imagination.
--You are forbidden to go to the Forerunner Temple.
--The abyss is dark, and it will be harder to catch them there.
--Feel free to interact with each other, but keep in mind it is partly a competition.
--No one is going to be awarded with the title of Great Hunter. So don’t bother godmodding.
--You may have your NPCs with you, but keep in mind you are on leave.
--The Obelisk Lake is surrounded by forest, and occasional bare patches; keep that in mind for scenery.
--This is a full-on secondary mission.

Alright, you have rules and maps and a setting. Get to roleplaying! If you have any questions, merely post below.

[laughingman]

Yay!

[kartoffelfogel]

Onward, my friend.

[Dufflepud]

So... so much for working together...

[kartoffelfogel]

Did you get the PM?

Dude, a Secondary Mission is a damn sight more than one post. I've only finished one.

[Dufflepud]

Oh, didn't see your PM, sorry.

[kartoffelfogel]

Great post, Kobold. As for the weather--it is a very clear, starry night, but with seven moons glowing. You can also see the massive gas giant of Oasis in the sky.

[Dufflepud]

Kartoffel, am I allowed to participate, or no?

[laughingman]

Modified my post a lot, actually. Made him more interactive with the environment. But thanks for the weather! I'll add that in my next post.

[kartoffelfogel]

Hmm... keep in mind, you are on leave... it's not likely people are going to be adhering to rank as much as seniority.

[laughingman]

I understand that, but why bring it up? ._.

I guess I'm asking: What part of my post are you referring to?

[kartoffelfogel]

Simply alerting you to the fact that you don't necessarily have to be wearing rank-based colored coded armor, which I believe you mentioned. Sorry for being confusing, but that's just the roundabout way my brain functions.

I was unsure whether I'd mentioned the rank thing previously. It wasn't as much as your post as my own absent-mindedness.

[laughingman]

Ahhh, no I get what you mean. Well he just earned that armor, so he's kind of flaunting it, you know? Wants to bring it into combat, get it worn-in.

That's what I figured, and I wasn't sure, to be honest, if Covies even got actual leave or something. Honestly not entirely sure how that works.

[kartoffelfogel]

I'm not sure either... we have a lot of gaps in Covie canon.

I'm taking advantage of this mission, I guess, to say that they DO have leave.

[laughingman]

So are you going to be controlling the NPCs? As a "Storyteller" Roll? Or do we do that? Part of the reason I wanted to do this was to get used to how the RP style here is.

I'm used to having it where a Storyteller is chosen for a mission or whatnot, and that storyteller will control NPCs(During important points and fights, the interaction with the Brute was just to add a bit of character to my post).

So we would control our NPCs and PCs, and the ST will determine the outcome of any exchange of fire or whatnot afterward. If that's not the case, I can adjust, obviously. But I just want to get that laid down before we get into anything.

[kartoffelfogel]

I control the important NPCs, the only one that currently classifies as this is the Magistrate. I can also randomly cause events that will steer the mission wherever it may lead.

Simply put, you have it exactly right.

[Dufflepud]

Well, me and Kartoffel. Although he is in charge of the mission, I am assisting him to lessen the work load, and so that he has time to post with a character or two. Also, Kartoffel, you have a PM regarding the spear thrower.

[kartoffelfogel]

Okay, for clarification: atlatls[/i] are allowed. Same goes for slings and throwing weapons. If it is powered by your own strength, it is acceptable. If it is amplified by elasticity, ie a bow or slingshot, it is not allowed, even though it is powered by your own strength.

[laughingman]

Oh, there's not post order? OR there is? >_<

I'm a bit confused. Used to having an established order of posting(Presumably from who posts first and keeping that pace)

If not, then hells I'm missing out on all the fun!

[Dufflepud]

There is no post order, and you are missing out on the fun. You just have to wait for one to two people to post before you post again. In general, it's pretty lose, just don't do something obviously wrong (like posting every other post five times in a row.)

[kartoffelfogel]

...which is sort of awkward, because that's what I'm very close to doing...

[laughingman]

Are we waiting for the next, big, IC post? I suppose for the Hunt to actually start, yes?

[kartoffelfogel]

Yeah, I'm going to post it...

Now.

[laughingman]

Okay, so... Who are we waiting on? :\

[kartoffelfogel]

NOTHING AND NO-ONE. START POSTING.

[laughingman]

Sorry >_> I'm used to a much more measured pace and waiting on others to post...

I posted. Are we missing people now? It seems like just us three.

[that1guy]

I'm in on this, i'm about to post now

[kartoffelfogel]

Froggy's also a Covie player, I don't know why he isn't here. Same with Seraph, but he's been offline for some time...

[Jakob]

Seraph got bored with Halo and Frog has not RPed in a year.

[kartoffelfogel]

He's still up and about, isn't he?
