The Hunt

4/10/2016

The next few days were spent preparing for the hunt. The party decided which animal they will pursue and on the following day they will be taken, by boat, to the island where it may be hunted. Meanwhile the party gathered supplies, had a custom trap built and discussed the plan going forward.

The next afternoon the party boarded their boat and headed to their designated hunting grounds. The trip was long, over twelve hours, night had fallen by the time they reached the island. After a night's rest they headed deeper into the brush to track and pursue their quarry. There was a brief, fortuitous encounter with some wild boars, one of witch Kaszuk managed to capture alive, it will make excellent bait.

Coming across a river the party set their trap. The boar was hung from a tree, underneath which was the large, custom made trap. After a short wait some creatures did take the bait, just not the one they were searching for. Two alligators came out of the river and towards the trap. The one in front stood up on its hind legs and tail grabbing the board and tearing it down. Upon landing it's front leg became snared in the bear trap underneath it. The second gator was easily able to grab the boar from there and drag it into the river. Not wanting to waste resources the party waited for the alligator to get loose, losing it's leg in the process, and lumber off most likely to be eaten by it's own kind.

With the trap successfully tested it was time to search again, hopefully finding the beast's territory.
