Elven Navy Delta Squad: Hunters

[perivas]

In stiff attention, Amanu inquires, "Battlepoet, do our requisition policies extend to expendable equipment employed in the line of duty?" Lady...pretty. "If so, what do the reimbursement regs say in regards to such expended items?" Symbol...warm and happy. "Will we be able to submit expended items for reimbursement purposes?" Elven Navy...good and just.

He then returns to his more "relaxed" state of scratching and grooming himself for lice.

Battlepoet Laurelspear goes into more detail, “Haworth’s ship landed on an island in the north-south running Kiritengu River. There are lizardfolk villages to the west. Wyverns are known to inhabit the range of canyons to the east. We can only hope the hunters aren’t going after the sentients. The whole area is heavily forested, and the temperature is around a hundred degrees during the day. You’ll be landing just after dawn.”

“As far as expendable equipment goes, you know you’re supposed to keep it to fifteen percent of your requisition amount (1050gp per mission). The next time someone burns multiple beads of force, it’s coming out of their pay,” she says with a scowl.

“You will need a tracker, so a specialist will be joining you on the drop. You all know Marine Third Class Wangari,” she concludes, nodding her head towards a figure in the back of the room. Wangari (with the call sign Leopard) is hard to forget. At 7’2” and 280 lbs, the female gnoll is one of the more intimidating marines on the Escaflowne. She’s a dead shot with her composite longbow, and has tracking experience on all the worlds in this system.

"Any other questions?"

Ready to Go!

"Sounds good to me. Let's do this thing."

Marcus will pack sufficient rations for the three days and 2 waterskins. His is just happy to be traveling light in gear and equipment. Anyone need me tocarry anything?

Simple missions are always the most dangerous, Arramor muses to himself. Fortunately, through Tyr's teachings the most difficult tasks are done effortlessly, and the smallest are undertaken with great care.

"Battlepoet, I have four questions. One, who is the leader for this mission? Two, how will we be able to contact the Escaflowne, should we need early extraction, support, or need to update command with additional intelligence. Three, are we authorized to detain the "tourists" if we find them in further violation of treaty, resisting your mandate, or harming sentients. Four, do we have any information on who Mr. Haworth may be hosting?"

"Other than this, Tyr and his servant stand ready to fulfill the mission."

 

[perivas]

Amanu drops to all fours and knocks his metal forehead against the Escaflowne's deck in a supplicative kowtow with a notable bang. Lady...angry! "A thousand pardons, my lady. Merciful is your compassion to forgive this simple-minded servant." Symbol...glowing red with rage! "I only seek to please in your service." Symbol...harmonizing.

After the briefing, Amanu goes to the requisition office and exchanges some of his gear to better suit the mission at hand.

OOC: I believe that Marcus' and Arramor's force of personality (aka, Charisma) would lend them to be the natural leaders of the group. Arramor's ability to communicate reason (aka, Diplomacy skill) would afford him the position of leadership. Personally, I always like to defer such things to game stats as well, in limited ways.

OOC: I've also made the substitutions in my inventory.

 

[Crowe9107]

OOC: It really makes no difference to me, but being LN, I need some kind of order to the party, and as a military unit, it makes since to have a designated lead. Being a Spec Ops bunch, this could be a very fluid position, based on specialty or mission (ie we could take turns at it rotating with the mission).

Hmm...this must be some huge payoff to justify the risk of running a blockade, just for a game hunting trip....I wonder what that guy is thinking, Erenal thinks to himself.

Erenal will listen to find out who the team's leader for the mission will be, and then proceed to the armory and requisition office, to exchange and rearrange some gear for a tropical mission. With a quick nod to the Battlepoet, and the remaining members of the team, he'll head out.

"Arramor, until the team decides otherwise, you are the leader. Here is a messaging crystal for contacting me," Cynthia answers, handing the cleric a crystal the size of an apple. "You are authorized to use force against Haworth's guests if necessary. Avoid casualties if possible. These type of rich hunters sometimes have contigency spells. We don't have any specific info on the passengers."

"Right, report to the launch bay. You launch in thirty minutes. Corellon guard your steps."

 

[Keia]

Marcus has no problem with Arramor being team leader. He pats himself down to ensure all his gear is in place and waits for the rest of the team.

Marcus is confident in the team to watch each other's back and bring success and more prestige to the Delta Squad and the Elven Navy. Marcus talks quietly with Leopard about scouting in a tropical wilderness, hoping to pick up a few pointers for this terrain and planet.

 

[novyet]

Switching to his green and brown camoflague suit, Erenal feels a twinge of worry about the mission, but quickly shrugs it off. Muttering a quick prayer to St. Cuthbert, he heads for the launch bay.
