Black Tusks - Hunting Tabuk

Black Tusks - Hunting Tabuk

􀀀

[12:42] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) moves out of the gloom of the cavern mouth into the crisp forest air. He is followed by a gaggle of goblins, all carrying sacks and baskets. They seem eager to get to work. Gaboon stands patiently, so see who hears the call for the hunt.

[12:43] Pure (purah.ghoststar) just looks around " ohh pure hope we bag a centaur today "

[12:45] Atlas Snowpaw rolls his shoulders and checks his hunting supplies, going over them in his head like a check list as the minion parade follows out of the cave for the hunt. Skinning knife tucked in his boot and ropes away on the belt he gives Pure a nod, "A centaur huh? Fancy some horse meat?"

[12:48] Pure (purah.ghoststar) winksat atty " no just remember the time me and Mu'tuk ...went hunting for so pookie didnt die ..had to get mud for her " sighs missing pookie greatly

[12:50] Khoriva (Rachael Lazarno) had already paced the isle once over today, was liable to do it again later even as she stepped up onto the rock nearby making to settle in when she saw the hunting party getting ready.

[12:51] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) grunted his approval at the arrivals. He had been hunting and gathering for the tribe since he was a shoat and it was considered an important task overall. Though these days he preferred to fell the fauna that leapt through the forests, the goblins were on hand to pick the berries and mushrooms required to fill the massive pots of gruel and stew the Matriarch prepared for the Black Tusks. The chatter of activity was loud, as the excitement rose. Gaboon grunted to Atlas and Pure, the significant hunters in the troupe. "Wotchya, Tusks." He rumbled.

[12:53] Pure (purah.ghoststar) smacked a goblins head when he tried peeking under her top and fake went to punch him again with a snarl before givign gabby and khohiva and atty a smile " pure be ready ... hunting chicking dinner licking time " shook her hips a little listenign to music in her head as she accidentally tripped anther goblin for the fun of it

[12:56] Atlas Snowpaw rolled his shoulders and neck giving the muscles a good stretch. Lifting his fist and pounding it to his chest in salute to Gaboon, "Wotchya! Whats on the list for the hunt?" rummaging threw his side pack and being sure be bought a bola and net with him in case of larger game.

[12:58] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) offered Khoriva a solemn nod, acknowledging her presence. He rumbled in orcish.

[13:01] Pure (purah.ghoststar) patted herself down checking ropes and hooks and potions before nodding to the group " pure all set "

[13:03] Atlas Snowpaw pulls his pouch to see if he brought his meat hooks and hauling clips, "Well if we find something larger than a stag or boar I have a net. Sadly I need to fashion me some larger hauling hooks."

[13:08] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) gestures to the troupe to move out. He snaps his fingers and the hunting warg bounds off into the forest.
[13:08] ѕιℓνια ησятнѕтαя (silverhuskie.ewing) peeks at her right while walking by. She appears to be busy with chewing on a dead rabbit. She didn't really bother to skin it at all. Not stopping, heading for her favorite place on the other side of the fallen tree which crosses the water.

[13:10] Atlas Snowpaw grabs his crossbow and slings it to his back ready to head off. Staying low as he walked and followed Gaboon off into the forest.

[13:11] Pure (purah.ghoststar) was jostled by some goblins and would grunt as she made to move to the side and let them forrage before her as she kept her eye out for game

[13:13] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath): |The forest is large, becoming more and more dense as they venture deeper into it. It is true, the forest thrives with such life that many survive off its bounties. The goblins, usually noisy and obnoxious, are eerily quiet. They know too well the temper of Gaboon if they spoil the chance of a fresh kill. Nevertheless, they collect berries and apples excitedly. Some hang around Pure, some around Atlas, like adoring children, following their heroes.

[13:18] Pure (purah.ghoststar) would pull out a clay pot filled with goblin vodka and take a pretend swig thenhanded it off to the goblins who didnt like her and took another one out for those who did willed with juice and handed it to her goblins pattign heads before stooping to dig up some roots with her stick for them and point to it " git the worms too " she whispered then put her head up and sniffed the air her eyes darting around smelling and loooking for her prey

[13:19] Atlas Snowpaw keeps low, following the ground silently as he moved along the rough terrain careful not to hit any twigs or loose rocks for rattling. Looping about the base of the trunks along the way to search for mushroom caps and orange moss. Cutting a bit here and there to tuck away for later use as the caps he points out are taken up by the following goblins.

[13:20] Zoey Parkes wakes up from her short nap and looks around. Slowly standing she lifts her nose to the wind and follow the scent that is unmistakably Pure.

[13:21] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) stalks the undergrowth quietly, glancing at Atlas and offering him a finger gesture for directions. Goblins surround Pure, finding her much more fun to gather with than the meat-head males. The forest has become so dense now that the edge of it has been lost to the gloom. Spiderwebs litter the trees, and the birdsong is strong.

[13:25] Atlas Snowpaw looks about and nods seeing Gaboons gesture, lifting his own hand and pointing two fingers to his own yes and then pointing them into the direction the other bull was indicating before silently moving out in the brush. A few of the goblins stayed back to harvest a bit of the mushroom caps about the base of a large tree while the more hearty looking of the bunch followed his footsteps silently.

[13:26] Pure (purah.ghoststar) sniffs the air and turns to look at zoey giving her a nod glad she found them as she continued on scrapping dirt awy from roots for the goblins and pulling plants up throwing them in her basket as silently as she could. even wrapping webs around sticks and wrapping them in cloth for the jichos yet staying oddly close to gabby and atty in case a good size coame to fruition

[13:27] Zoey Parkes follows her nose, stepping carefully as she spies the group ahead. She was used to hunting in complete silence and would watch where she stepped as a single crack of a twig would alert any prey

[13:30] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) looked to where Atlas was moving, nodding his approval as he moved alongside him. In the distant gloom, appeared to be some figures moving. Could be deer, or their large cousins, Tabuk. They were so skittish and flighty, it would be tricky to land one. But their meat was a prise worthy for the pot. Slowly, Gaboon stalked along, glancing back to see if Pure was alert too.

[13:34] Pure (purah.ghoststar) put her hand back to the goblins to stay still a moment after seeing gabbys look then silently crept foreward her sling shot ready with her sharp stones for stunning,

[13:37] Atlas Snowpaw peers threw the thick in the direction of the rustling figures. Looking high and spotting the shadow of a large set of horns rambling threw the brush. Looking to Gaboon he makes a gesture that looks like a pair of dragon horns on his other hand that imitated a set of deer hooves. One of the minions following nearly jumping up to peek at the excitement had to be held down to the ground as not to arouse the creatures suspicions.

[13:38] Zoey Parkes sees what they are all looking at and she lowers her body more slowly stepping, placing each foot down with precision. she narrows her eyes and moves to the left to flank the beast in case it turns abruptly. She knew the tells of the animals and could put herself in the line of their path with in a split second.

[13:40] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) acknowledged Atlas' gesture, turning to Pure and passing it along. There, he sees Zoey, gesturing her to catch up with the hunting troupe. Amazingly, for a gaggle of goblins and Orcs, they were stealthy as hell. Gaboon drew an arrow, keeping a close eye on Atlas. If they were to strike the herd, they would have to do so all at once, to ensure maximum effect. He took measured steps, triangulating the herd around.

[13:44] Pure (purah.ghoststar) was letting her breast out slowly as she aimed her hands and slig moving along with the beast as it moved through the trees waitingon gabbys signal
[13:44] Pure (purah.ghoststar): breath*

[13:47] Atlas Snowpaw pulls up along a large trunk slowly, drawing his crossbow off his back and setting a bolt in the notch. Leaning to the side he spots a large buck with a clear sight from his prospective and motions to Gaboon. Taking his hand and making a shape with his fist, holding up his index and small finger like horns and placing them to his forehead to indicate a buck. Just then one of the straggling gatherers came up, holding the largest mushroom cap he had ever seen and almost squealed out loud showing it off. Quickly dropping his hand from his head and grabbing the goblin, wrapping his hand around the little buggers mouth and huffing at him before shaking his head dejectedly and nods to Gaboon waiting for the signal to fire.

[13:48] Zoey Parkes seeing the abundance of prey slides her spear back into its sheath and pull sout the blow gun and layers multiple darts between her fingers for fast reload. Each dart tipped with the fish oil and plant extract mixture. One dart properly placed would bring down the largest of beasts like a rock off a cliff. She keeps a keen eye on the ears of the animals as they would dictate movement direction and nod to the group as she made her way around and closer. She would wait for the signal from Gaboon as he was leading the hunt before she made any move She would load the first dart and bring it to her lips waiting and stalking.

[13:53] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) pulled back his lips and snarled silently at the idiot goblin that almost made a noise. Luckily Atlas had locked it down before the herd was lost. Gaboon peered over the foliage, nodding to Atlas' gestures. The Green Orc had chosen his target. Gaboon gestured and pointed, marking out one next to him as his. Then, in sheer silence, he gestured towards Zoey and Pure, marking out the targets Atlas and Gaboon had claimed. He crouched, patiently awaiting their response. All that could be heard was the natural breathing of the forest, and the blood in his ears.

[13:59] Pure (purah.ghoststar) would turn slightly hearign the beginnings of the goblin and saw atty take him out then gaboons signal pure let her rock loose on her target keeping them flying as she moved ahead hearing the beast stunned drops to ts knees before it could wail as she pulled her axe from her back stilll hidden so the others could get theirs before pure was seen bashing their fellow kins head in

[14:08] Zoey Parkes gives a nod to Gabboon and shifts to her left, The large buck would be hers today. In her sights were two smaller female tabuk and as long as the first shot hit perfectly at least one of the smaller females would take a dart to the neck as well. As she settled into place, the beast carelessly grazing she crouches down and peers through the tall grasses waiting for the signal. With a short breath she pushes the dart out of the hollowed tube, The dart flies though the air in complete silence and strikes the buck in the neck, as soon as the one dart left the tube a second was loaded and flew from the blowgun as well, the female dropped quickly but the buck reared up on it hind legs, letting out a howl and ran but a few steps before it fell with a thud. The breathing of the beasts slow yet steady. She would need one of the others to slice their throats as she had lost her blade with the big tsunami. She stay put until Gaboon would step froward to which she would take that as a sign to move in to secure
[14:08] Zoey Parkes: their prizes.

[14:15] Atlas Snowpaw seeing the rocks fly and taking a step off the tree's stump he fires the first shot. Huffing as the bolt went threw the air and hit a tree limb hanging in front of his target. Letting go of the small minions mouth he pulls the draw string back again and loads another fast bolt as the buck began to scurry in shock threw the brush and make his way down the trail. Taking aim and hoping for a hit he fires again, hitting the neck of the beast as the buck looses foot on a rock and rams its horns into a large tree. Grabing the crossbow he draws the release mechanism back once more, threading a bolt and firing a third shot into the large bucks neck as the prize went down on the ground now for sure. Grabbing a rope off his belt and handing it to one of the goblins he reloads again to see if he can make a clear shot for more game. Motioning after to the loud mushroom finder to hurry off and tie up the downed bucks hind legs. Not a perfect kill granted but the game was still down.

[14:19] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) barks as the herd begins to bolt. He raises to his full height, marching forward and sideways as his aim tracks an adult thundering away. He mutters something under his breath as he targets it, loosing his arrow with a snarl. The Tabuk falls forward, skidding to a halt, stiffened dead by the arrow that pierced its eye socket, killing it instantly. He bellows, as the rest of the herd disappear into the gloom of the forest. It was not entirely clean, but the bounty was good. He moved forward, as the goblins swarmed around him, little daggers in their hands, ready to prepare the kills to be brought back. Gaboon rumbled, in approval at the kills.

[14:25] Pure (purah.ghoststar) would run out into the herd as it bolts her axe swinging side to side catching a running one on her jaw so it fell to it knees beside her stunned one that was starting to shake its head til pure chopped said head off in a clean sweep then turned and pulled a knife out her belt to slit the other ones before throwing her kinfe to zoey " and step aside giving leave to the goblins to clean her kills stepping back placing all her weapons back in place looking out on the others and goblins working away as she slapped knuckles with a few favorite gobbies

[14:26] Zoey Parkes sees the herd stampede off though the brush and paths and stands, sliding the darts and hollow tube back into its sheath. She looks at the fallen beasts and nods then moves in toward the buck, still breathing shallowly as it lay on the ground. Holding out her hand "Cut" she says as she pulls the dart from the throbbing vein . Taking the blade from Pure she slides it across its throat in a swift motion to not ause more pain. Lifting her chin toward one of the goblins. "Cut beast" she instructs as she gestures toward the smaller female laying nearby. As she kneels beside the buck she lays her hands over its eyes and lowers her head. "Jumala siunatkoon tätä peto ja ketsuppia. Tee se maistuu todella hyvä. Voi sen kuolema ruokkimaan meitä kaikkia ja tekevät hyviä parittelua"

[14:29] Atlas Snowpaw walks up and grabs the bolt from the tree branch he first shot muttering threw his tusks and shooting the loud goblin a scowling look before calling out to it. "You had better have a full pack of those mushrooms!" huffing and stuffing the bolt back on his belt. Making his way he grabs at the rope the little minion was finishing the tie of and checks to make sure it was secure. "Not bad little one." leaning up he grabs the bolts from the bucks neck and tugs them out, running his hand over the blood and placing a line over the stock of his crossbow before making a hand mark over his shoulder. Leaning down to the best he made sure its spirit was gone from its body, grabbing his hunting knife tucked away in his boot and piercing the bucks throat. No movement came from the beast as the blade went threw clean, pulled away, and was tucked back in his boot. With a few hooks and a rope he secured the fell game for hauling back to the caves.

[14:32] Gaboon Mor Uruk Hai (sociopath) hoisted up his prey, clearly dead, up onto his shoulder. He walked the clearing, eyeing the gobbos as they prepped the fallen prey for travel. He grunted, nodding towards Pure, Atlas and Zoey in turn. They had proven good hunters. He would hunt with them again. Goblins on the other hand, were always some trouble, even when they were useful, like Blizzik. "Good werk." He rumbled, snapping his fingers and ordering the goblins to prepare for the trek back to the caves. He turns, then, to begin the long walk home.

[14:34] Zoey Parkes throws one carcas on one shoulder then manages the smaller one on her other. She stands with a grunt. "Go yes?" she says as they were unbalanced as they hung over her body.

[14:39] Pure (purah.ghoststar) snorted as she walked with everyone after picking up the gutted carcassess back to the caves with the rest " good hunt ... this be so much more fun then dancing on a bar stripping off a sixty dollar bra for shots " snorted
