Private - Fleetfoot (Invited Only)

A group of farmers were heading to the town proper with expressions of distraught and worry as their complaints would fly through the air like smoke produced by a wild fire. They were worried that the situation couldn’t be resolved and the attacks wouldn’t stop until every animal in their livestock has become feed. On the next day, the townhall has put up a bounty on the beast, they designated and named “Fleetfoot” a huge wolf in three tails. Its size is described in a way that in comparison to a regular dog, a room fit for 5 people would be enough space for it to become its doghouse.

The worst part of it is that this beast doesn’t hunt alone as it seemed to be an alpha of its own pack. The very thought of it would scare anyone, even Beatrice. But then she wanted to prove to herself that she can do it and that she’s capable of fighting, or at least helping defend against the wolf’s attack.

“Right..” she was nervous and yet she did not regret her decision or rather she hopes not.

The hunting party were to gather inside the townhall, keeping in mind that all participants should at least have a trained offensive mastery or any skills that can help defeat the feral hound of the woods. Wearing her black coat leather attire complete with black stockings and boots fit for the occasion as well as a sword in her hand. She closed her eyes for a moment, inhaling all the courage she can muster and exhaling out all the fear she had for this mission.

Her eyes would slowly gleam with confidence, complete with a smirk and an entirely new persona together. Beatrice was known as the Astorea Medic and a weapons training instructor, now she’s taking on the role of an adventurer, a warrior who would face danger without looking back. Its as if she was a totally different person altogether.
​

“Right, hello to everyone in Dunnstads and those who will be joining my party. I am Lady B. It’s a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. I do hope we do well and succeed in today’s hunt. May I ask for your names? I’m not that proficient with the blade yet but sure enough I’m more than ready to take this hunt with you” she spoke out with such presence to those party members who will be going with her. Introductions were proper manners when it comes to partying with other people but a name is just a name until proven otherwise. ​

There was no trace of her as Beatrice… only Lady B.​

 

Aalam was leaning against a tree on a slight hill that overlooked the town comparing the location of that one to the one that had been written on the flyer. He had both heard and seen the bounty a “giant three tailed wolf” was terrorizing the town killing livestock threating the livelihoods of everyone in the town. It sounded like bull, a joke made up to attract the visitor. He had seen similar scams before in someone to the smaller villages. It was almost always a waste of time. However, he should still make an effort to go and check it out. If it did turn out to be a hoax, then he would be able to demand a free drink for payment.

Pulling himself to his feet brushing off the bit of dust that clung to his pants and grabbing his bow from off one of the branches that lay above his head, making sure that he had all his equipment, there was somewhere he needed to be. Making his way to the town with a slow walk, the other would have reached only a short time ago, and there was no reason to rush well at least not right then. There would be enough fighting and run about later.

He knew that they had planned to meet in the meeting hall before they set out to trying and find the beast. As he walked through the village, he could feel the tension in the air, could see it on the people’s faces. The way they walk quickly never stop or waiting around always watching the darkest in the corners as If they expected something to jump for them, it was so bad he didn’t even need to watch his step. They wouldn’t have noticed him in their worry even if he was carrying a giant torch. Pulling his coat tight on to his body well at least the new armor was going to come in handy for it seemed that this wasn’t a big hoax, after all, there was a beast. The grip it had the town was enough proof of that.

Well, guess that he had a contract to fulfill after all he entered the hall just in time to hear her introduction. A Lady B a lady out here that’s odd he would have thought that they stayed in courts and the like but to each there own. However, it was time to make his presence known he could part of the hunt if no one knew he was there.

“Aalam ranger of the kingdom, I shall be joining you on this hunt, it was too much of a challenge to pass up. My skill lies with my bow; I don’t miss however I would prefer to try and tame this beast.” It was said as matter fact as possible

@Beatrice @Comet

 

An hour or so after Comet found the time to log into Terrasphere she found herself drawn to a bounty hunt. News spread around like a wildfire. Player to player, until everyone knew about the three-tailed wolf with a dangerous reputation. The pink-haired woman had been in Dunnstads before. She enjoyed taking strolls and scouting for sea raiders as a way to pass the time. The smell of sea salt and gusts of wind hitting her face; Dunnstads turned into a completely different place when under the reign of terror. Often, Comet would turn her head if the threat were taken care of by someone else. The sound of a bounty, however, intrigued her well enough. Not to mention the problem hadn't solved itself by now. There'd be reward, pride... reward. A chance to show off her marksmanship with a bow. Joining a group would be no problem. Not being able to control said group? Maybe a little problem. The greed inside Comet clawed at her, begging to be satisfied. Yes, she thought, the hunt will be quick and I can get something out of the effort.

With arms crossed over her chest, eyes on the speaker, the pink-haired woman listened the best she could with excitement churning the insides of her stomach. The length of the purple hair amazed Comet, for it was as long as her own. It seemed that, after all, there'd be no official leader but instead a rag-rag lot of organized players with a common interest. This pleased her, now anxiety would ease its wrath and give her a chance to focus on a facade of confidence. At first she'd felt skeptical of the whole thing. When word of a party forming to hunt the wolf reached Comet she let go of those worries and understood the bounty remained true to its word. A small group of people could easily lie, but not all of Dunnstads' people.

Now, here she was, without regret and prepared to hunt down the savage beast with complete strangers. If they turned on her, for whatever reason, she had long legs to run and skilled hands - albeit fidgety - to use her bow. "Tame the thing? I say we complete the bounty - as requested - and kill it. The farmers probably want the same thing," she responded to @Aalam Abungu's announcement. "It's called a hunt for a reason, right?" Blue eyes shifted to @Beatrice once the question had been asked as if leaving the decision up to the woman with purple hair. Either way Comet planned to put an arrow in the wolf and end its life, one way or another.
