Day 220: The Best Laid Plans...
... Adi says "... Maybe on our way home we could try to get some to follow us to the village and we could sell them."
| GM: | Party XP will be awarded for this idea. |
|
Taylar says, "Why wait for the village? If we can get some animals to follow us, we could sell them at Boga City. We're bound to get a better price for them, and it would be good practice for real commerce."
Maka nods, "That is a good idea. Maybe we can make enough money to upgrade our equipment."

OOC:

A reasonable amount of mundane items such as rope and cord are considered to be in the party's possession without needed record on the party inventory.

Maka begins to convey to the crew that while his tribe hunts and traps to provide food for The Outpost, none of them can manipulate Way and none know of his newly found talent. He continues to explain that when the tribe wants to capture an entire herd they set up snare lines and have members of the tribe man the lines to spring them simultaneously from places of hiding. It does not always work, but the results are usually better than when trying to fire at them with arrows.
Choosing the game trail that seems indicative of small sheep or goats, Maka demonstrates how to make snares and how everyone should be spaced. As the light of day begins to fade, everyone takes a position to wait to see if the quarry will arrive.
About an hour after dark, when the crew members can barely see, the tiniest of movement of the grass and the soft sounds of small hooves on soil, Maka cries, "Now!" and everyone jerks on their cors to see if they have managed to snare the foot of a game animal.

| GM: | At the moment the trap is sprung, everyone feels tension on the other end of their cord and the night is disrupted by horrible squealing. One might think that the animals were being squeezed to death rather than captured. Everyone, that is, except Taylar, who had dozed off for a second and then jerked his cord too hard and too late, even though it was only late by a few tics. More squealing it heard along with a thunder of tiny hooves as the free animals flee in panic. The crew has managed to capture 4 dwarf goats. |
|
When the 4 successful crew members reel in there quarry,
Vittero begins laughing.
"
I know it is dark, but still, these are the smallest goats I have ever seen."
He then muddles his goat's mind so that it will stop screaming.
