Capture The Flag: Mission 1 - Hunting - Turn 25

[SeeAMoose]

Pats and Mines move to encircle the fox on the East flank while No Name and Righteous move in unison up the West flank and Dreamer guards to the South. The fox runs North.


Pats guards the East flank while Mines moves to close the fox in. No Name and Righteous tackle into the same square in unison... but it's empty. Dreamer moves up to take a look at the tree and sees... poorly drawn tree limbs, fascinating. Out of the corner of his eye a fox trying to charge at him.

Cheer Dreamer, Cheer Pats

[ChuckDaRighteous]

Well hopefully dreamer can keep him in that square particularly if he gets cheered. So Righteous will tackle c4 and hope not to hit a tree

[WearsHats]

We don't know how many HP it has. Might take more than one tackle. So good luck!

Dogpile foxpile!

[M0rtimer]

I'll tackle C3 in case it does get away.

[Patdragon]

Cheer Dreamer, Cheer Pats

You can't cheer Dreamer unless he moves adjacent to you (d4 or c5), you don't have the increased range only effectiveness.

[WearsHats]

Oh crumb. You're right. I knew I had a short range, but I forgot it didn't include diagonals.

Chuck, which way are you going?

Pat, what are you doing?

[ChuckDaRighteous]

I'll go south, the east I guess. Pat could cheer dreamer while he guards then tackles while mines could cheer someone charging in the second half of the round?

[Krulle]

Dreamer defends C4, and defends C4 again (I really don't want to tackle a log).

I assume the fox is turning around as it wants to DEFEND the log and whatever's inside that log.
Pity we don't know the HP of the fox.... it is one down, but one of 40 might mean it can kill us all.....

[edit] added underline, as bold itself is not really visible on my screen [/edit]

[Patdragon]

Cheer dreamer, then move to B5 which as I think the fox move two squares will cover a defend action from me next turn if it end up there.

But a good point to note, is a fox will defend its territory so depending on the size of it we might just be able to ignore it if we move away from its agro zone.

We also haven't injured the fox yet, and we can tell from when it attacked HNN it has at least Att2

[WearsHats]

Run to D4, Cheer Righteous Charger.

[SeeAMoose]

Mines moves to get into a good position to cheer on his comrades. No Name tries to ensure the fox can't escape by tackling into C3 around the tree.

...but instead gets a headache as he runs headfirst into a tree branch, although he avoids taking any damage, it just doesn't seem to be his day. Righteous moves into position to annihilate the fox, while
Dreamer tries to keep the fox from leaving (to bite Pats) while Pats cheers on.

Thanks to Dreamer weakening it, Righteous manages to kill the fox outright. You have found some stringy fox meat! Pats moves South towards the log. No Name stares angrily at the tree branch as he stands up.

Nice quick update for once. Once I saw everything was in I figured I'd try to get it up early for you guys. Also, sorry M0rt, that tree was straddling two squares in case it wasn't clear.

[Krulle]

Ouch, Mort.... Big Headache.

Did he not win the badge "Tackled A Piece Of Wood"?

Dreamer moves to B4 and looks into the log, and then dreams wonderingly what he could do in the next half-turn...

[Edit] I'm trying to find out why the Fox turned around to defend the log... [/Edit]

[SeeAMoose]

Not a bad idea... maybe "Tackled a Tree", "Hates Trees" or even "Tackled by Trees"?

[WearsHats]

Yay us! We saved a fox from a mysterious and horrible illness! (Or so I choose to believe.)

Not that it matters this time, but you seem to have forgotten that I have a level in cheer effectiveness.

Time to herd a rabbit. D3 to E3. I'll go past it and around, see if I can drive it your way.

[SeeAMoose]

Right you are, fixed.

[Krulle]

Then you can also hand out one for the log....
That's why I went for wood, for the first one to tussle with a piece of wood... (word-play intentional, since we're all male characters here)... :p

Question, out of curiosity: Do you decide with an update what the fox will do for the next update, or do you decide that once you have the moves?
With the rabbits I can see you do the decission when you have the moves, as the rabbits are quick, and fast in reaction (and can thus react better to actions by others).

[ChuckDaRighteous]

A) do we not get tackle/cheer success xp in missions? Is it all objective based?
B) is it an action to take the meat?
C) Not that it matters but you forgot my improved tackle bonus.

[Patdragon]

Right if mines is heading up wards we should all go to the B line and then head west so we can sneak round the rabbit in a pincer movement then mines flushes it towards us, maybe in a turn or two.

Pats sprints to B2 (I think my sprint has refreshed by now)

Excellent question, neither

A) do we not get tackle/cheer success xp in missions? Is it all objective based?
B) is it an action to take the meat?
C) Not that it matters but you forgot my improved tackle bonus.

A) I'm going to tally up all xp gains at the end. I will say that XP does not work the same as in a practice game, so most of what you get will come from the mission objectives. In a practice game your focus is on improving your skills, on a mission your focus is on surviving and helping the clan.
B) Yes, but there is no need to take it this minute, the body isn't going anywhere. You can always just wait until you are ready to go and drag the fox corpse back to camp (then I don't need to draw stringy fox meat or figure out how you're gutting it with your bare hands ). On later missions you'll probably have weapons to use for such things. Or perhaps you'll need to make them as you go, who knows...
C) I did this update right after waking up this morning so it's fair to say that I forgot a LOT of things.

[SeeAMoose]

I can try to update this evening too if you guys want.

[ChuckDaRighteous]

Righteous Charger moves to C2 to help set up the flank.

[WearsHats]

Update whenever you're ready.

Gutting our prey is certainly easier if we can use bear hands instead of just our bare hands.

[SeeAMoose]

I have no idea what you're talking about I swear I'm totally brain dead today Just need a move from M0rt and I'll update.

[WearsHats]

Aww, sure. Take the fun out of it.
